Chapter 224: The Sun Also Rises (Part II)
"I'm now transferred to the special service team, running all over the country." Sitting in a small stall, Li Xiang was eating sweet fried tofu while talking, with a kind of joy on his face: "Why did you come here?" β
As soon as Li Guo heard his words, he glanced sideways at Lily, who was holding his arm and pretending to sleep on his shoulder: "Come here to be tortured." β
Li Xiang raised his eyebrows: "Bacheng is also a person like you, right?" By the way, since you're here, I don't have to look far away, I'll show you some information. During this time, there was this kind of inexplicable headless public case all over the country, and I was transferred from Yanjing to Chengdu, from Yucheng to Changsha, from Changsha around Wuhan to Shanghai, and most of China went around in circles......"
"What?" Li Guo was stunned: "What do you mean?" β
Li Xiang shook his head and sighed: "We don't know each other, right, if we don't count as friends, we can count as acquaintances." β
Li Guo nodded, this is indeed it. And he doesn't seem to have much disgust with this guy, although he knows from a few words that this guy is a tide stall and a gold-plated second generation official. But he usually works diligently, and he can see this guy no matter how dirty it is, and he can see the figure of this guy in any dirt, mess and danger, in general, he is a pretty good second generation official, and although he is a little arrogant, he is quite polite most of the time, and when he meets his master, that is, Sister Xue's subordinate, when he Teng Snake, is also the same as Li Guo when he meets Uncle Shusoul, he looks like a dead ...... So when Li Guo saw that he took the initiative to get closer, he didn't say anything to ridicule, but nodded casually: "Actually, if you don't chase after my aunt, we can be friends." I just can't stand an uncle who's as old as me. β
"Don't talk about this, I'm up to your uncle." Li Xiang decisively rejected Li Guo: "So let's be acquaintances, and it will hurt our feelings when the time comes." Look at this. β
In front of acquaintances, Li Xiang's arrogance has been reduced a lot, and in the magic capital, without Yanjing's many eyes and ears, the taste of Yanjing Hutong, a native of Yanjing, suddenly came out, and he slipped away with a poor mouth.
Li Guo didn't care, he took the stack of booklets he handed over without a cover, just a simple binding, opened it casually, and looked at it by the light of the snack street.
"During this time, there have been bizarre murders everywhere. There were no wounds, no traces of heart disease, no cerebral hemorrhage, no rupture of internal organs, no poisoning, and even the adrenaline we checked, it was completely normal, the only thing that was not quite right was that there was a white worm in the brain without exception, there were three or five more, and two less. I don't know the variety, but it looks quite fat and juicy, and I'm still waiting for the results. Li Xiang was eating Bai Huahua's tofu brain, and while talking about the white flower worm in Bai Huahua's brain, his expression was calm: "There are also two such strange murders here, I heard from friends on the road that this is not an accident, it is someone who is to blame." β
Li Guo thought that his resistance was super good, but when he saw the worm with the same thickness as a little finger in the pried open skull in the color photo, he still couldn't help but feel a stream of acid water tumbling out of his stomach, although he didn't spit it out, but he also pushed the fried tofu in front of him to the side disgustingly.
"What do you think?" Li Guo handed the information to Lily beside him: "You should know." β
Li Guo felt that Lily should know, but it was actually justified, because the first time Lily came into contact with Li Guo, it was the expensive Gu worm she used, and that thing is still used as a toy in the hands of Xiaoxin Girl, and it is often used to spoof poor Xiaokui and the honest Li Guo...... So Li Guo instinctively thought that Lily should know these strange and disgusting things, but Lily just raised her eyelids and glanced at them: "I'm not interested." β
Her tone was very cold, and Li Guo could see from her expression that there was a trace of resentment, and this evil anger was obviously directed at Li Xiang, as if Li Xiang had disturbed her with something good.
Of course, Li Guo knew why Lily was so gloomy, so for the sake of love and justice, Li Guo leaned into Lily's ear and said, "Count me in debt to you." β
Lily raised her head and glanced at Li Guo: "Aren't you afraid that I did it?" β
Li Guo looked at Li Xiang with curious eyes in embarrassment, and then coughed: "You must disdain to do this......
"Count you smart, and I'll mention the conditions later." Lily stretched out her finger and tapped it on Li Guo's nose, and then her expression instantly turned cloudy: "Actually, this kind of thing is too similar." I can't see the real thing, I can't be sure. β
"Physical?" Li Xiang suddenly had a thrill, and then instantly rejoiced: "Yes!" Yes! β
After speaking, he picked up the phone and dialed out: "Hey? Lao Chen? The body wasn't autopsied, was it? I'm going over now! Okay, I'll write the report. β
"Walk! I'm going to have a good meal. Li Xiang hurriedly walked to the car, and didn't even ask Li Guo and Lily: "Hurry up!" Aim for a two-hour solution. β
Li Guo and Lily glanced at each other, and Li Guo suddenly smiled: "Thank you." β
"If it weren't for you, he'd be dead." Lily smiled faintly and took out a cigarette from Li Guo's pocket: "You owe me a favor, I don't know if you can't afford to pay it back." β
The big deal is meat pay! What's not to be able to afford it! Although Li Guo didn't explain it directly, his heart was tight, and he didn't have the slightest awareness that there was a wolf in front of him and a tiger in the back...... After getting into the police car with a Yanjing license plate, Li Guo randomly found a topic in order to break the tranquility: "You should be a superintendent now, right?" This promotion speed has caught up with Durala. β
"How can Durala compare with me, that girl's genitals, I rely purely on personal efforts." Li Xiang was not ashamed, humming a song while driving: "Even if I have something to do with my father, that's definitely not the main reason." β
Nanima is the main reason! You stupid donkey...... Li Guo really had a thousand words in his heart, but he didn't know how to open his mouth to hit a motivated young man full of enthusiasm...... "But...... Why did you ...... just now" Li Guo actually wanted to ask him, why did Superintendent Yiyanjing actually come to Shanghai to maintain law and order, but the language was organized for a long time, and he was stunned that he didn't organize it...... "That......" Li Xiang scratched his head quite embarrassedly: "It's just pure passing, go back to sleep, watching someone fight and brawl, itchy hands...... When the patrol officer developed a stinky problem. β
Saying that, Li Xiang turned his head slightly and glanced at Lily: "You are good enough, your girlfriend, you have to be a bright star wherever you put it, and you can't stop it with a Lei Feng hat." β
Although Lily was praised, her expression was still like a dead father. It's as if her smile is only blooming for Li Guo, and in front of others, she is as cold as frozen tofu.
And Li Guo also knew how to answer, saying that Lily was not his girlfriend, and he was afraid that Lily would be unhappy and make some trouble. said that Lily was his girlfriend, but he was still afraid that Lily would be unhappy and make a fuss...... Therefore, Li Guo was very embarrassed, and his expression naturally became bitter...... Seeing the appearance of Li Guo and Lily, Li Xiang closed his mouth with interest, since he knew Li Guo's identity, he was very self-aware, he was killed by these people, and if he died, he would die in vain. And this is outside again, who knows if these monsters will suddenly be fierce and directly destroy themselves into lard residue...... Therefore, in the spirit of not making trouble for himself, Li Xiang silently turned on the radio in the car ...... "Turn it off!" As soon as the radio was turned on, Lily's scolding followed: "Hurry up! β
Li Xiang was shocked by the overwhelming aura at that time, and he didn't even react, so he turned off the radio directly, and then drove silently with a white face.
Li Guo looked at Lily sideways, not knowing what nerves she suddenly had again, but at that moment just now, Li Guo really felt an unrivaled domineering outward exposure, which instantly made the dogs within a radius of one kilometer dare not bark...... "Are you ......" Li Guo wanted to ask, but was a little apprehensive...... Lily half-closed her eyes, took Li Guo's hand, and leaned on his shoulder: "I don't want to explain to you." β
Li Guo was stunned for a moment, silently sighed, and then there was no sound. Lily, this woman, has to listen to what she wants to say. If you don't want to say it, you can't listen to it. This is called a surname, this is called attitude, even if Li Guo feels that Lily has an inexplicable dependence on him, but as soon as the word "no" comes out, even if it is Li Guo, don't want to say half a sentence.
The car staggered and stumbled in front of a building with an eerie atmosphere, and as soon as Li Guo got out of the car, he smelled a strong to viscous formalin smell, as well as a strange taste of waxing...... "What is this place?" Li Guo frowned and looked around, and found that the house was poked here alone. The place is surrounded by mountains on all sides, with only one concrete road leading outside, and the sound of owls calling in the middle of winter is particularly harsh.
After Li Xiang got out of the car, he did not enter the house directly, but leaned on the door and smoked a cigarette. And Li Guo found that when he smoked, his fingers trembled badly, as if he had won Parkinson's boxing champion Ali, his face was even more ugly, and under the reflection of the headlights, it was so white that it turned yellow...... "You scared people." Li Guo leaned into Lily's ear: "You promised me, you can't be like this." β
Lily took a deep breath and turned her head to look at Li Guo: "If he is not dead, he is already a grace." β
Li Guo couldn't cry or laugh, and Lily's karma was like this, and no one could screw it back. So Li Guo could only comfort Li Xiang, who was frightened, in embarrassment...... "Okay, okay......"
Li Xiang didn't speak, but just took a big gulp of the cigarette on his mouth and inhaled the cigarette butt. Then he pulled out another one, took three puffs in a row, and after a few minutes of slowing down, he really came back to his senses: "I almost thought I was going to die......
"It's all hallucinating...... Li Xiang turned his head pitifully and secretly glanced at Lily, and then trembled decisively: "I...... Let's go inside. β
Li Guo shook his head, followed behind Li Xiang, who was obviously in a somewhat abnormal mental state, and walked into this gloomy building full of strange smells.
There is a lamp in the hall on the first floor of the building, but in Li Guo's opinion, this lamp has a bit of a forest feeling, and there is a human skeleton model and a musculoskeletal model in the corner of the hall, and Li Guo feels that these two things look a little different from what they usually see...... "This is a real specimen." Li Xiang saw that Li Guo wanted to touch the bone frame, and immediately followed: "It's Lao Chen's deceased wife." β
When Li Guo heard this, he immediately stopped...... Then with a hint of luck, he put his hand on his clothes and rubbed it.
When Lily saw Li Guo's appearance, her nose wrinkled at first, and then she actually laughed, just like a little young woman when she saw her son do something naughty that made people laugh bitterly, maybe this metaphor is not appropriate between Li Guo and Lily, but in fact, the meaning of Lily's expression just now is like this...... Li Guo also saw it, and he even saw in Lily's eyes a different kind of emotion that belonged to the kind of feelings that could give Li Guo a child...... Of course, Li Guo felt that this might be because he was too sensitive, so he didn't think about it more...... It's just a little weird.
Clicking up the staircase paved with marble floor tiles, there were only two footsteps in the wide corridor, and the echo of the emptiness made the already empty building seem even more empty, and even gave Li Guo a long and long feeling. This feeling is very similar to the pale blue atmosphere deliberately created in Korean horror movies, coupled with the strong smell of embalming liquid. Li Guo felt that this place was extremely strange...... However, Li Xiang seemed to be familiar with this place in comparison, and although he had just broken free from Lily's fright, it was obvious that he did not feel any fear at all in this kind of building, which obviously contained many corpses.
Up to the third floor, Li Xiang pushed open the only room in the entire building with warm lights, Li Guo also followed, and as soon as he entered the room, a warm wind rushed out. This is followed by a hint of formalin and a hint of jasmine.
"Old Chen." Li Xiang put the lunch box in his hand on the table: "Where is the corpse?" β
On the edge of the table, a thin old man with looped glasses was listening to an old-fashioned radio, drinking wine and eating peanuts, and the warm air conditioner was blowing.
"Shut it up." Lily's voice was faint.
When Li Xiang heard this, he immediately became excited, and before Lao Chen could react, he quickly unplugged the power of the radio, and the noisy sound in the room suddenly cleared up.
Li Guo glanced at Lily in surprise, if Lily asked to turn off the radio in the car, it was because it was noisy, but in this lifeless place, there was a little noise, Li Guo thought it was quite good...... "I don't want to explain." Lily tapped her fingers on the table and said in a tone that was too cold to refuse, "Take me to see the corpse." β
When Lao Chen heard this, he smiled: "Female doll, you are not small." β
Li Ran looked at his watch: "It's eleven forty o'clock, and I'm going to finish it in twenty minutes." I have limited patience. β
Lao Chen smiled, took out a bunch of keys from his pocket, and threw them on the table: "No. 16." β
Li Xiang took the key, said to Lao Chen to disturb, and then withdrew from the room with Li Guo, and then took a deep breath: "Lao Chen was a professor in a medical school before he retired, and he was falsely accused of desecrating corpses, and he was sent here to see the medical corpse warehouse, and his temper is very strange. β
"You're familiar." Li Guo looked the black holes around him up and down, like a big mouth: "What are you studying?" β
"Forensics." Li Xiang rubbed his nose with his hand: "I've been a hobby since I was a child, and Lao Chen is my mentor." However, my dad thought that I smelled bad about corpses all day long, so he forced me to change my career. They were all cops, but I think ...... Forensic medicine can make people more wronged, my idol is Song Ci. β
In the process of Officer Li's rambling self-report, Li Guo and the three of them came to a room that exuded cold air, and then Officer Li skillfully took out the key and opened the No. 16 cabinet.
The cabinet opened with a bang, and inside was a frozen and blue corpse wrapped in a plastic bag, this corpse was a woman's surname, about early twenties, and her appearance was not bad, she could be regarded as a delicate little beauty, but now she seemed to have died, like a sculpture, and her demeanor was serene.
"It's the only one that hasn't been dissected." Li Xiang picked up a form and read it: "Liang Meizhen, Cantonese." Two years ago, I came to Shanghai to work as a designer in an advertising company, and the time of death was this morning, and the cause of death is yet to be ascertained. β
After Li Xiang finished reading, he dragged the body in the bag to a metal table with great difficulty, and pulled the zipper of the plastic bag down: "There are no obvious external scars, and it is exactly the same as the victims in other places." But I have investigated these people, and there are eleven dead people, none of whom are related, and there are people from all walks of life. Age from nine to fifty-five years old. There is no common denominator, the greatest common denominator......"
Although it is not the first time that Li Guo has seen a corpse, he is no longer Wuxia Amun, whether it is experience or courage, he has already made a qualitative leap, so he put his cheek on his hand and looked the female corpse up and down: "I think there must be something in common, Bai ...... Ranran, what do you think? β
When Lily heard Li Guo's call, she smiled at the corner of her eyes: "Call again." β
"Ran ran ......"
"I'll take a look first." Lily seemed to be very happy when Li Guo screamed, and volunteered to get started.
Li Xiang turned around and went to the tool cabinet at this time to find the scalpel and bone crusher, but when he got the tools and turned around, his expression immediately froze...... Lily's fingers ran a circle along the forehead of the female corpse, and then her left hand trembled slightly, and the entire skull fell like a coconut shell, revealing the blue-yellow, tofu-like brain tissue inside.
Li Guo screamed and couldn't help but take a step back...... And Officer Li was amazed: "God...... What a god...... It's so professional...... Wrong! It's all up to the art level! β
"Shut up!" Lily raised her eyelids and glanced at Li Xiang: "Quiet." β
As he spoke, Lily stretched out two fingers without any protective measures, inserted them into the gap between the left and right half of the brain, and then seemed to be groping for something, and slowly buckled: "Stand a little away, the brain will get on your body, and it will smell fishy for a year." β
Li Guo covered his mouth and took a step forward: "What are you doing......
Lily didn't speak, but her hand suddenly paused, and her expression was strange: "Who knows the most about pigs?" It's the butcher. And I know the most about the anatomy of the human body. β
As she spoke, Lily withdrew from the cyan brain with a large white fat worm that was still wriggling and twisting in her hand, and then she put the white worm under her nose and asked, and then threw the worm on the cold table: "I know what it is." β
As soon as these words came out, Li Guo and Li Xiang suddenly pricked up their ears and quietly waited for Lily's answer.
"This is a kind of Gu, a very low-grade Gu." Lily pressed the bug with her hand, then quickly picked up a nearly translucent scalpel and slashed along the insect's lines. Then, in full view of everyone, the fat worms that had been cut in half turned into two, and they were writhing forward one by one.
"This kind of Gu worm can be refined all over the world, and its main function is to paralyze people's central nervous system, produce deep-seated dreams, and control this dream, so that people die in the dream." Lily is like a teacher, while fixing the fat worm with a pin, she explained to Li Guo and Officer Li: "So the people you see don't have any external scars, and the real scars are here." β
As soon as the words fell, Lily stretched out her hand under the neck of the female corpse, and seemed to twist it without any strength, Li Guo only heard a sound of tooth ache bone rubbing, and then a complete vertebra pierced the skin and came out, and then, Lily pinched out the vertebrae with her hand: "The real injury is here." β
Li Guo and Officer Li stepped forward curiously, and found that the middle of this spine had completely become a hollow, and there was still a circle of fine tooth marks on the outside of the hollow.
"After this insect dreams, it will start eating away at the spinal cord of people." Lily said very, very professionally: "No device can find a reason. β
Officer Li stepped forward nervously and observed the two insects: "This thing is the legendary ......"
"Gu." Lily answered, then picked up the scalpel and made a cut in the lady's armpit: "Look here. β
Li Guo stretched out his head and glanced at it with curiosity, and then Li Guo, who had been fine, ...... I threw up on the spot...... It turned out that the piece of skin that had been cut was densely covered with crystal clear, small round beads about the size of a BB bullet, and some of the beads were still trembling slightly...... This kind of disgusting and numb feeling has only been seen by Li Guo when he looked at the legendary empty fingers, lotus pod breasts and hugging toads, but these are far from the stimulation of the optic nerves from seeing the real thing...... "What is this?" Officer Li put on thick isolation gloves, took one from the armpit of the female corpse, and put it under the light to look carefully: "It looks like ......"
"That's right. It's an egg. As Lily spoke, she had already scraped off a large handful of this round thing with her hand, and it was extremely disgusting to pinch it on her hand: "The eggs of the Dream Transformation Gu hatch as soon as the temperature is high. β
And Li Guo looked at these things, but his thoughts drifted to the other side: "Then this must be the same person...... Why? β
"I don't know why...... Li Xiang put an egg closer to the lighter, and then watched a fat insect larva like a small pus head break out of the shell, and then eagerly want to get into something.
Li Xiang used tweezers to pick up the strange insect that had already drilled a small pit out of the isolation glove, threw it into a cup of concentrated sulfuric acid on the workbench, and then took off the glove: "It seems to be tricky, I have to report it up...... I'll mention you truthfully, Li Guo. β
"I thank you, don't mention me, if the body is gone, I'll have to be unlucky with you." Li Guo shook his head, and then pointed to the egg on Lily's hand, which weighed at least half a catty: "This thing is like caviar......"
"When they get into the skin, these little things don't cause any pain, and it's hard to prevent." Lily's hand suddenly flashed with green flames, and the eggs in her hand suddenly turned into a handful of powder scattered all over the ground in the face of the sudden extremely cold flames, and then quickly turned into juice: "However, this kind of Gu has little impact on ordinary people, but for people with cultivation, before they can not protect their bodies with spiritual power or sword qi, it is a lore." β
; "So, these dead people have one thing in common." Lily continued to flicker with green flames: "It's just that they are not ordinary people. β
Li Guo and Li Xiang were stunned together, Li Xiang was stunned that they were not ordinary people, and Li Guo was stunned that the scope of this common denominator was too large...... "And to be able to make low-grade Gu so domineering and **, the person who does this is definitely a generation of grandmaster level." Lily raised her hand and wiped it on the corpse, and the green flame instantly covered the lady to the brim as if it had been napalmed, and then suddenly it suddenly became hot, and the corpse suddenly turned into a piece of vapor, which gradually disappeared into the wind, and was drained of atmospheric pressure by the exhaust fan of the air supply device...... After disposing of the corpse, Lily smiled: "There is only one person who can do this far." Dove tree, begonia vein. β
Li Guo was taken aback: "Begonia...... The combat power that was killed by croton was No.1? β
Lily nodded: "Now I attack it from the front, and I have no chance of winning." β
As she spoke, Lily turned her head to look at the stunned Officer Li: "You and Li Guo are friends?" β
Li Xiang was stunned, and then suddenly hugged Li Guo's shoulder: "Buddies who grew up together!" β
Li Guo was shocked, this is really an official's material, lying and bragging can be so easy...... "Then I warn you to stop the investigation as quickly as possible." Lily took a few packets of bits and pieces from her own huge Doraemon-like pocket: "This is its information." β
Begonia: Surname unknown. Last Name: Unknown. Physical strength: No, behind a series of things, it's like a fart...... Nothing.
(To be continued)
