Chapter 1395 - 1319: Suspicion in the Prison
The gentle breeze blew across the Tai River, bringing a slight chill.
The river water rippled gently, lapping against the anti-corrosion wood along the riverbank.
Near the school on Binhe Road, they had built some water-friendly platforms at the slower sections of the river. The platforms were almost level with the river water, and during the flood control period in summer, the platforms would often be submerged.
A few students were wearing light clothing, sitting by the river, posing and enjoying the blend of wind and water. A girl with snow-white skin deliberately took off her shoes and put her white feet into the river, swaying with the waves, a graceful smile on her face, as her companion captured a series of twelve shots for her.
Cao Chujun, captain of the third brigade, brought the suspect back to the crime scene. Watching the suspect complete the identification work, he lowered his voice and asked Wen Ming next to him, "The position where the victim fell into the water is just upstream from where they’re taking photos, isn’t it?"
"Yes." Wen Ming also came to see the suspect identify the scene. After replying to Cao Chujun, he specifically added, "Also, it’s within the range confirmed by Captain Jiang, only a few dozen meters from the central point."
"That’s already accurate enough. I should say too accurate. However, what I’m talking about isn’t the judgment of the falling position." Cao Chujun said, then pouted, explaining, "I mean, the spot where that girl is soaking her feet is where the body flowed down, right?"
"Probably."
"With the water flow so slow here, it’s very likely the body could have bumped into this protruding platform, right?" Though Cao Chujun was old and didn’t understand much about criminal science techniques, he had abundant experience.
Wen Ming nodded in agreement, "That’s possible. After the victim fell in, their state would certainly not be good, drifting with the waves. They might either float past the girl’s foot-soaking spot or possibly bump into the platform, make a turn or something, and then continue drifting down... These girls probably didn’t expect that not long ago, a corpse had just drifted past where they were taking photos."
