After Ding Wei left, Shen Yuan began his field research on insects. In order for the results of the study to be useful, the rotting stage of animals must be consistent with that of human corpses. In the selection of animal carcasses, Shen Yuan consulted a lot of research data at home and abroad, and determined that the experimental animals are domestic pigs of about 50 lb weight which are the most similar to adult carcass decay pattern.

Shen Yuan chose the first place to experiment: the cabin in the river near the bird island, the dry place on the bird island, and the cave with bamboo rows at the foot of the Gosling Mountains. In order to prevent being stolen or eaten by other animals, Shen Yuan had people make three iron cages and locked them in a certain location. Then, twenty meters away from the scene, he put up an eye-catching sign: "Stoppers, warn tourists not to disturb the flies' delicacies." Each laboratory site is provided with a hygrometer for recording temperature and humidity at the site. In addition, during his research period, Shen Yuan insisted on taking pictures of the pig carcasses every day, recording the changes in the pig carcasses and even the changes in the soil temperature around the carcasses.

Every time he went to the scene, Shen Yuan would quietly stand by the side and observe the changes on the corpse. Afterwards, he would collect all the arthropod specimens that he had observed, bring them back to Green Dragon Town and put them in 70% alcohol for a while after they were executed. Then, he would put them in a gel mixture of kerosene, acetic acid and alcohol for final storage and storage.

Shen Yuan also categorized the specimens for their species, developmental stage, and position of movement on the body. All the information was linked to the data collected on the body, such as temperature, relative humidity, rainfall, and external conditions. When interpreting the evidence brought by insects, Shen Yuan had to take all the factors into account.

There were five stages to the transformation: fresh, swollen, rotten, decomposed, and skeletal. Su Heshan's death was only the first stage.

Fresh occurred before the body had apparently swelled. At this stage, the corpse appeared to be unchanged on the surface. Apart from the wound, the corpse lay motionless as a person who had lost consciousness. The giant tailed alligator arrived within ten minutes of its death, feeding on any blood or secretions it could find, day or night. Female flies lay eggs deep in the wounds and natural openings of the corpse, and the newly formed eggs feed immediately on the tissue.

Just like this, Shen Yuan busily shuttled back and forth between Green Dragon Town and Bird Island every day, no matter whether it was windy or rainy. As he had expected, flies were still active in early spring, even on a very cold day. The specimens collected at the scene were packaged in a airtight foam box. After adding a few packs of ice cubes, they were wrapped in layers of plastic tape and sent by courier to the Xiangya Judicial Identification Center of Central South University for further analysis.

Every time he did an experiment and got a piece of data, he felt that he was one step closer to the truth of the case.

Remembering that he was familiar with the terrain of the Goose-Ridge Mountains and the Bird Island, small bamboo platoons and a night of sudden wealth, Ding Wei felt that there was no reason for him not to pay a visit to Chen Ai-cai. After taking his leave from Shen Yuan, Ding Wei found Chen Aisui's new address in Jizhou.

When they arrived at the entrance of Room 303, Ding Wei was actually a bit nervous.

What kind of person is Chen Ai-cai? He tried to guess. He raised his hand and rang the bell.

The room was very quiet.

Dingway rang the bell again.

"Coming, coming." A crisp female voice came from inside the room, it sounded familiar to him. Before he could recall whose voice it was, the woman who had spoken had already opened the door.

"It's you?" DingWei was so shocked that his jaw almost fell off.

"Yo, it's big brother. Long time no see." "Big brother, would you like to come in and take a seat?" "I …" Ding Wei finally understood that the 'great beauty' mentioned by the hotel owner was none other than Qi Mengzhu and Qi Mengyuan.

He was the wife of Chen Aiki. However, when Ding Wei saw Qi Menglu, he was speechless for a long time.

"Yo, big brother, it's not like you and I have a relationship that only happens twice. Why are you being so shy?"

For a moment, Ding Wei wanted to run away. He had experienced the power of Qi Menglu's words many times. However, he resisted the urge to investigate the case.

"Excuse me, is there someone called Chen Ai-cai [1] living here?"

"So you're not looking for me?" Qi Menglu pursed his lips and wiped the smile off his face, "Why are you looking for him?"

"I heard that there's a treasure on Goose-Ridge Mountain. Brother Chen has been looking for it. I wonder if he found it?"

Hearing that, Qi Meng Lu's face immediately changed, and she refused, "So you came to find out about the treasure, please go back. I'm very busy and I don't have time to chat with you. " As he spoke, he prepared to close the door.

Ding Wei La closed the door, "I'm sorry, please don't misunderstand. I don't have any other intentions, I'm just here to chat with Big Brother Chen."

"Tell me, why are you looking for him? But, please don't bring up the matter of the treasure again."

"Why?"

"This is what the people of Jizhou make fun of Chen Aicai - cai - cai - cai. They thought that Chen Aiki had no ability and could only dream about finding treasures in the mountains to get the windfall. I want to tell you, my family does not love money like they say. "

"Then, may I meet with Brother Chen?"

"Why are you looking for him?"

"I--" Ding Wei smiled unnaturally. "I heard that his driving skills are very good, I really want to experience it."

"So what if his control skills are powerful? He's still being mocked for his stupidity." "He went out and won't be back for a while."

"Where did he go?"

"How should I know? Early in the morning, wearing the uniform he had worn when he was serving in the 8023 army, he had even put on a third-class military medal and said that he was going out to a gathering with a comrade from Shaanxi Province. "

"Didn't he say anything to you?"

"Nothing."

"May I ask you a question?"

"Go ahead."

"The money you used to buy the house..."

"Do you suspect me of stealing the bank?"

"No, no."

"You want to report that I earned my money from prostitution?"

"Aunt Chen, do you think my character is so low in your eyes?" Ding Wei said somewhat helplessly.

"I can see that you're here today to harass him, but I, Qi Menglu, don't want to play this game. Even if Chen Ai is penniless, I won't leave him."

"Aunt Chen, where are you going?" Do you not know my character? " Ding Wei felt wronged and said.

"Mm, you're still a man. Go ahead."

"It's like this. After a murder case on Chen Ai-cai's boat, he had the money to buy a house in the city the next day. Someone suspected that —"

"Hmph, I knew that someone had ill intentions. Since you're so curious, I might as well tell you. My man recently had a physical examination and was diagnosed with hypothyroidism because he had worked in the nuclear testing zone when he was a soldier, and the country had given him six hundred thousand dollars. What's wrong with him using the money to buy the house? "Oh right, he also said that this house is a birthday present for me, Qi Menglu. Only my name is written on the real estate certificate."

Ding Wei has some knowledge about the policies of demobilized servicemen who have participated in nuclear testing with the State's regular and quantitative living allowance, such as those who have been disabled due to nuclear radiation and whose condition has reached grade 3 or above, and who are qualified to be evaluated as disabled, the relevant departments of the state will implement the relevant treatment after evaluating them according to relevant regulations. The complexity and difficulty of the application process may cause rural veterans to retreat or give up the proper treatment due to the different or bureaucratic policies of the local civil administration. But a one-off grant of six hundred thousand dollars is unlikely. According to the hotel owner's description, Chen Ai-cai should be a dull person. Some things don't change, so how could he suddenly get the country's six hundred thousand yuan allowance?

"Is there anything else you need from him?" Qi Menglu asked the dazed Ding Wei.

"No more." Ding Wei said.

"Then, you can go." Kimono turned and slammed the door.
