Chapter 39: The Corpse
Although it was noon and the sun was shining warmly outside, as soon as they reached the door of the mortuary, they felt a chill rush over them.
This room is about 1200 square meters, and there is only a window on the wall near the door, but for some reason, this window has been nailed to death with wooden boards, and not even a little light can penetrate in.
The room was dark and gloomy, and only the door through which they had come had a light to cast into, but before the light could reach a few paces away, it was swallowed up by the cool darkness of the room.
In this case, they can only rely on the faint light of the oil lamp to observe the situation inside the house. A little bit of bean light swayed erratically in the dark, making it even more weird and terrifying.
Through the light, they can vaguely see the neatly stacked coffins placed in the house, the wood of the coffin is made of nanmu, and some are only made of wooden boards, but the two ends of each coffin are supported by two wooden stools, and some of the stools are piled with white paper money in front of them, and occasionally there is a wind blowing from somewhere, and in the dead and silent room, there will be a 'whoosh' sound.
The further they went inside, the more they could smell the smell of corpse decay in the air. Heizi and Dalian hugged each other and followed behind Xue Er and Madman Chen, and after walking a distance of about dozens of steps, Madman Chen's somewhat hoarse and low voice suddenly came from the front: "This is it"
As soon as this somewhat abrupt voice sounded, the black man's scalp was numb with fright, and he trembled and said: "Crazy Chen, you can't fucking talk well, why do you have to keep your voice so low?"
Madman Chen turned his head, and his originally expressionless face suddenly raised a big smile, which made the originally somewhat wrinkled skin instantly squeeze together strangely, so frightened that Heizi and Da Lin took a few steps back before they heard his voice sounding faintly: "Shh, you can't talk so loudly here, be careful to wake up things that shouldn't wake up."
Hearing this, Heizi and Dalin wanted to shout but didn't dare to shout, so they had to cover their mouths with their hands, and walked quickly to Xue Er's side as if they were about to cry.
When Xue Er heard Chen's words, he shook his head helplessly with a smile and said, "Master Chen, don't tease the two of them anymore, I didn't see these two boys who were about to pee."
After speaking, the big palm patted the shoulders of the two of them to comfort them, and then signaled to Madman Chen, and the two of them pushed the lid of the coffin on the coffin in front of them together.
Because the weather is getting colder now, and the corpse has not been here for a long time, when the coffin lid is opened, there is no pungent rancid smell. In addition to the pale face, the corpse was like an ordinary person's eyes closed, and the whole body was covered with a white cloth. If it weren't for the wrong place, it wouldn't look like someone had been killed.
The people lying in the coffins of Kuroko and Dalin were lifelike, but there were no missing arms and legs as they imagined, and there was no terrifying statue with a blue face showing white teeth, and both of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But the heart that was carried had not yet been put down, and when they saw that Madman Chen lifted the white cloth covering his body, revealing his bloody body, the two of them couldn't hold back any longer, screaming and pulling their legs and running outside.
Xue Er turned his head to look at the two people who ran out, shook his head and said to Madman Chen: "Leave them alone, let's continue" As he spoke, he fiddled with the corpse that had exposed his organs through the white cloth and said, "It's so ruthless."
Seeing that Xue Er was not afraid of this, a ray of light burst out of his eyes, and he said excitedly: "Yes, yes, this person is the most stabbed among them, there are twenty-three knives", in order to prove the truth of what he said, Chen Luozi directly raised his hand and touched the corpse, "Look here, and here, tsk, even the intestines are out" and then pulled and stuffed the leaking intestines back into the corpse.
After finishing it, he wiped his hand on the white cloth casually and said: "But although there are many knives, if you look at his distribution, they are all disorganized."
After a pause, Madman Chen led Xue Er to another coffin next to him, lifted the lid, pointed to the wound on the corpse and said to him: "Look at this again, although it is still a little messy, it is obviously much more skilled than the first one."
Saying that, Xue Er looked at the last coffin: "This is the third person, you can see what you can see."
Xue Er followed the direction of Chen's finger, lifted the white cloth on the corpse, and observed the wounds of the deceased, this time the knife wounds were obviously not as many as the previous two corpses, only seven or eight knives, but the knife was inserted into the vital point.
Seeing Xue Er's knowing expression, Madman Chen nodded beside him and said, "After this person was killed, he was able to accurately find out the key points, but"
"But he still stabbed people seven or eight times. With such a ruthless hand, it seems that the other party has a deep hatred with these people," Xue Er squinted his eyes and analyzed.
"But I still have a question"
Hearing Madman Chen say this, Xue Er turned his head to look at him suspiciously, waiting for his next words.
Seeing Xue Er looking over here, Madman Chen hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled: "These knife wounds are concentrated in the abdomen, although there are many important organs in the abdomen, but they are definitely not enough to kill at once." And the fatal places like the head, face, and throat, these three corpses, there are no scars at all."
When Madman Chen spoke, Xue Er suddenly felt that something flashed in his mind, but when he wanted to grasp that fleeting thought, he couldn't find anything in his mind. He instinctively felt that this was a very important clue, and with this feeling in mind, Xue Er planned to think about what he had missed after he went back.
The two of them looked at the three bodies a few more times, but could not come to any more valuable conclusions, so they walked out of the house together.
As soon as he got out of the house, he saw Kuroko and Da Lin still standing there with their hands on the wall and vomiting, Xue Er stepped forward and patted Kuroko's back from behind, wanting to pat him on the back.
Heizi was still immersed in the terrifying scene in the mortuary just now, where did he notice that Xue Er and Madman Chen had already come out. Just when he was still feeling nausea in his stomach, suddenly a hand 'snapped', and it hit his back coldly, this palm scared the three souls of Kuroko off three and a half souls, accompanied by a shout of "Ah", Kuroko suddenly rolled his eyes, and fainted straight like this.
Xue Ercheng thought that this slap would actually scare the sunspot and faint, turned his head to look at the smiling madman Chen, and then looked at Dalin, who also had a frightened expression, and shrugged his shoulders helplessly: "I see that he vomited so much, I just want to help him pat him on the back."
In the end, Xue Er and Dalin worked together to carry the sunspot to a nearby tea shed and sit down.
Since the sunspot was still unconscious, they couldn't go back to the town now, so Xue Er and Dalin had to ask for two bowls of coarse tea in the tea shed, and the cow drank it.
Xue Er wiped the tea on his mouth with the palm of his hand, and said to Dalin: "What is the origin of those people I asked you to check, have you found them?" ”
Da Lin, who was originally staring at the steamed buns on the tea tray in a daze, heard Xue Er's words, looked up at him for a while, and then said in a daze: "I found out, a man named Wei Zi, who is a thug in the gambling house in the town; There is also a guy named Big Tooth, who is a gangster, who usually does anything to bully men and women, and is also a complete bastard; The last one is called Tang San, and he usually goes to gambling houses and brothels, but I heard that he owes others a lot of money recently."
Xue Er dipped his fingers in the tea, according to what Dalin said, wrote and drew on the table, and when he finished speaking, his fingers also stopped and said: "It's really all ruffians and hooligans", after thinking for a while, Xue Er looked up and said to Dalin: "When I return to the town, let's start with these people first, see if they have offended anyone recently, and I have to check everything clearly." If you can't find out with Kuroko, just call San'er and Bean"
As soon as Xue Er finished giving the order here, the sunspot lying next to them suddenly stepped forward and stood up with an "ah". This look without warning frightened Xue Er and Da Lin into a daze.
Heizi stood up, looked around vigilantly, and when he saw Xue Er and Dalin sitting on the stool, the strength of his whole body seemed to be drained, and he sat on the stool with a soft stomach, and asked with a sad face: "Xue Tou, what happened to me just now?" ”
Xue Er touched his nose, cleared his throat and said uncomfortably: "It's not a big deal, but I was slapped by my slap just now, and I provoked it, just... Just, I fell asleep."
Heizi couldn't hear the meaning of his words, buried his head in his hands with a blushing face, and said angrily: "Xue Tou, Brother Xue, I was embarrassed and thrown to my grandmother's house this time, how can I have the face to see people in the future?"
Xue Er knew that Heizi had a good face, so he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Heizi, don't worry, Dalin and I will never talk about this matter to others, if we say it, this is it" He also gestured to Wang Ba as he spoke.
Heizi, who was guaranteed by Xue Er, immediately raised his head and asked with a look of hope: "Really?" It's true? ”
Where did Xue Er dare to lie to him, nodded, and then asked Da Lin: "Is it, Da Lin"
Dalin heard Xue Er's question, turned his head from a stunned look, although he didn't hear what they said, he still nodded stupidly.
Seeing that Dalin had also promised it, Kuroko breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the teacup and drank it.
When Heizi was drinking water, Dalin looked at Xue Er with an expression of wanting to cry, and asked him pitifully: "Xue Tou, Brother Xue, what should I do?"
This sudden remark made Xue Er confused, and he looked at Dalin without speaking.
Seeing that Xue Er didn't speak, Dalin thought that the situation was serious, and tears remained: "Brother, you said that I am a person who loves food so much, just because I went to Yizhuang, I have no appetite for food now, what can I do in the future." ”
As soon as this sentence came out, the sunspot who was drinking water on the opposite side 'poofed', spraying all the water on Dalin's face, and then Kuroko wiped his mouth with his hand, and looked at Dalin with a strange expression on the opposite side with a dead relative's expression.
Xue Er looked at the two people around him, and sighed helplessly in his heart, what kind of immortal did he worship to meet these individuals. Shaking his head, Xue Er said to Da Lin seriously: "Linzi, don't worry, it's just because you don't fit in, just wait a few hours."
After hearing that it would be fine in a few hours, Dalin was much relieved, and he no longer cried with a sad face like just now, but he still had a worried expression.
After Kuroko woke up, the three of them sat in the tea shed for a while, then paid for the tea and walked to the town.
