Chapter 40: The Morgue

Tiancheng said goodbye to the county commander Yu Kui, and followed the official to a house, the official took out the key tied to his waist, opened the door lock, and squeaked open the big iron door.

Inside the iron gate was a small courtyard, and the sound of the official opening the iron gate startled away a few wild dogs and a group of wild cats, and there were a lot of leftover snacks scattered on the ground.

A short distance further on, there was another tightly closed iron door, on which iron tendons as thick as a child's arm were set, and the servant opened the iron door again with a key, and a bluestone staircase appeared inside, leading to the bottom of the ground.

Childe, the official took out a piece of red cloth from his pocket and handed it to Tiancheng, you wrap this around your waist, Tiancheng looked puzzled, may I ask the official why this is, is it the rule here.

The servant shook his head, Son, you misunderstood, the mortuary is parked here, the yin atmosphere here is very heavy, I am afraid that it will make you unlucky.

Thank you, Master, Tiancheng shook his head lightly and said no.

Please follow me, Tiancheng followed behind the servant, and walked down the steps to the bottom of the ground.

The further down you go, the darker it gets, the light on the ground is slowly annihilated by the darkness underground, the walls on both sides are not visible to sunlight all year round, and the air is not well ventilated, and many places are covered with moss, exuding a smell of mildew mixed with potions, which makes people smell very uncomfortable.

I walked to the bottom of the steps, and after turning a corner, the road surface began to flatten, and there were many lanolin lamps hanging on the walls on both sides, emitting a miserable halo of white and gloomy.

Childe, the fourth room on the left side of the front, there are numbers on the curtain, which is where your relatives are parked, because the case is still under investigation, according to the regulations, outsiders are not allowed to come in, since the adults speak, we dare not stop it, please take a look at it and come out quickly, and be considerate of me, don't let me be too embarrassed, I will wait for Childe to come out above, and the official will turn around and leave.

After Tiancheng waited for the official to leave, he came to the curtain with room No. 4 written on it, stretched out his hand to lift the curtain, and what caught his eye was a room that was not too big, and there were also a few lanolin lamps on the four walls of the room, but it seemed to be more dim than the light in the corridor.

In the middle of the ground lay four iron beds, under which lay reed mats, on which were placed four corpses, covered from head to toe with white sheets.

Tiancheng's hands trembled and lifted a white cloth sheet, revealing a pale young face underneath, looking at the age similar to himself, and wearing pajamas and pajamas that are only worn when he sleeps.

Tiancheng gently covered his young face with a white sheet.

Lifting the second sheet, it was the body of my aunt, my aunt's face was pale, she must have seen something that frightened her before she died, her face was terrified, her facial features were all twitched together, and there was a purple handprint on her neck, as if she had been choked and suffocated, but there was no wound on her body, and her eyes were wide open.

Tiancheng tried to close his aunt's eyes with his hands several times, but in vain.

Tiancheng seemed to see his aunt's loving gaze again, and his ears seemed to remember his aunt's warm words again, Tiancheng choked up with sadness and said.

"Auntie, I know that you and your uncle died unjustly, if you don't want to close your eyes, then open your eyes first, and after I avenge you, you are resting in peace with your eyes closed. ”

Gently picked up the sheet, and covered his aunt's face with trembling hands.

Just as Tiancheng was about to lift the next sheet, a bloodstained arm slipped off the iron bed without warning, and his bloody fist clenched under a corpse-covered sheet in the wall.

When Tiancheng saw this scene, his heart trembled suddenly, mixed joys and sorrows, is this person still alive, is his uncle not dead......

Hurriedly lifted the cloth sheet, which was also covered with a layer of oilcloth, and when the oilcloth was lifted, a kind and familiar face appeared in front of Tiancheng's eyes.

The eyes were wide open, and the blood at the corners of the eyes was still oozing down the face, and the blood flowing from the corners of the nostrils and mouths flowed to the chest, dyeing the clothes on the chest purple.

A knife on the neck was brushed together, cutting the entire artery, and the blood had already dried up, and the blood that had already dried up around it was even more miserable before the deceased's death.

Uncle! Tiancheng was whirling in front of his eyes, grief-stricken, knelt on the ground, hugged his uncle's body and cried loudly.

After the death of my father, this feeling once again poured into Tiancheng's brain like a black hole, and my brain was confused, everything in front of me began to darken, becoming heavier and heavier, and the whole body, including the soul, seemed to float up, and everything turned into tears from my eyes, and suddenly returned to reality in a trance, uncle!

Who complained about the sadness of the departure of his relatives, Tiancheng hugged his uncle's body and cried heartbreakingly. After a while, I regained some of my mind in my mind, and remembered how my uncle's arm had suddenly slipped off the iron bed.

Hurriedly put his uncle's arm on the bed anew, looking at his uncle's clenched fist, Tiancheng was puzzled in his heart, could it be that my uncle has a spirit in the sky, what does it mean, to remind me that it can't be?

Stretched out his hand to let go of his uncle's fist, but his uncle's fist was clenched to death, and he just didn't want to let go.

It took Tiancheng a lot of effort to let go of his uncle's fist, and a small strip of cloth appeared in Tiancheng's eyes in his uncle's blood-drenched palm.

Tiancheng picked up the piece of cloth that was stained red with blood in his uncle's hand, he couldn't see what color it was, and he was inexplicable in his heart, he didn't know why, and when he was ignorant, the voice of the official came from outside.

Childe, the hour is almost up, it's been too long for me to explain, or please go back, where you are, I can't help myself, and I hope Childe will understand my hardships.

Tiancheng is in a hurry, it's troublesome, I'll come out. Tiancheng put the blood cloth strip in his uncle's hand without leaving a trace, knelt down and kowtowed three times to his uncle, aunt and two guys, and his eyes showed a fierce aura like a beast, uncle, uncle and aunt who hurt you, I will definitely break them into thousands of pieces to comfort your souls in the sky.

Gently covering his uncle's face, Tiancheng turned around and walked out of the house, and returned to the ground with the official under the steps.

Waiting for the official to lock the iron door, Tiancheng bowed his hand, this official, can I ask you, after my uncle's family was killed, do you know the scene of my uncle's family at that time.

Childe, I received a report from the people in the morning, I was really one of the first people to arrive at the scene, according to the observation at the scene, the murderer was extremely cruel, the means were brutal, from the point of view of the method of killing, it was not done by one person, and there were no traces left at the scene, it seems that he came prepared.

I don't know why the doors are wide open, maybe it's an acquaintance.

Tiancheng heard the official say that it was an acquaintance, and his heart was excited.

As for the rest, we have to wait for the people who handle the case to make a final decision after further understanding, and that's all I know and can tell you now.

In the next surname Sun, the name is Lei, is a steward in the autopsy room here, as for the case if there is any other progress, please leave your contact information, or come back in a few days to inquire.

In addition, it is better for the son to find another place to live these days, and before the case is closed, the house is not allowed to open the seal.

Tiancheng hurriedly thanked him, Brother Sun said righteously, his brother will be grateful in the future, and he reached out to take out the copper coin from his arms to show his gratitude, Sun Lei hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him.

Childe doesn't have to be so polite, you are not an acquaintance with my family and adults, and you are not an outsider, and you can use my place in the case in the future.

I still have some business to do, so I can't accompany my son today, so let's say goodbye here and see you another day.

Since Brother Sun is so refreshing, the younger brother is no longer hypocritical, and in the future, Tiancheng will thank Brother Sun again.

Sun Lei waved his hand, Childe is serious, I'll send you out......
