Chapter 344: Encountering a Corpse While Fishing
"Do you think this girl could be Li Xiaoman’s missing sister!" another police officer asked.
"I don’t think so; she’s been dead for quite a while now, and this position is far from the river. If she had drowned, there should be water plants in the river," said a slightly older police officer, shaking his head.
The captain of the police agreed: "I also feel that this girl is not Li Xiaoman’s sister. Plus, look at her clothes, although they are worn out now, they are of good quality, while Li Xiaoman’s clothes were very ordinary."
"Yes, indeed, Li Xiaoman’s family is poor, there’s no way her clothes would be this nice. Furthermore, this girl has a petite build, she appears to be no taller than 1.6 meters!" another police officer added.
On hearing this, Ye Chen’s gaze swept over the girl’s clothes; he suddenly thought of an important piece of information.
"Do you think she might have drowned!" Ye Chen exclaimed, pointing to the river next to the girl’s body.
The police officers were stunned for a moment, and as they followed Ye Chen’s gesture, realization dawned on them. The river next to the girl’s body was quite turbulent, and it was the Flowing Sand River.
If the girl had drowned, her clothes would certainly be torn and tattered, not as new as they appeared.
Moreover, judging from the time of the girl’s death, it was very likely she died from drowning, though it was unclear why the body ended up floating ashore.
"No matter whether she died from drowning or not, let’s investigate first. If she really did die from drowning, then there must be something strange about this water source," the captain said.
"Okay!" everyone nodded in agreement.
