Chapter 18: The Morgue (2)

The moon was dark and the wind was high, and there was no finger in sight, there was not even a little starlight in the sky, and the yard was full of weeds more than half a person high, and the only small road extended east in front of Lao Jin's house into the distance. The beams of several flashlights www.biquge.info pens swayed back and forth in the darkness, and many mosquitoes flew around with the light of the flashlights.

"Lao Wang, you said that the conditions here are poor, I really didn't expect it to be so bad." Zhang Jizu shone it indiscriminately with a flashlight, and shouted at Lao Wang, who was leading the way in front.

"Mr. Zhang, you will be settled. It's really evil, where did so many flying insects come from in the black light. Lao Wang used his hands to drive away the insects that came to his face, and at the same time answered Zhang Jizu's words.

"You two wait, I guess we're in the place." Liu Sisheng, who was walking at the back, suddenly said.

Lao Wang and Zhang Jizu stopped in unison, and shone a flashlight in front of them, and sure enough, a gloomy building more than thirty steps ahead stood in front of three people. The limited lighting of the flashlight can roughly indicate that this is a typical barnhouse, with a pointed roof, gray-black exterior walls, two round windows the size of a dog's hole at the very height, and two iron doors, chained with iron chains, with a large lock hanging from it. Zhang Jizu raised his flashlight and took a picture of the warehouse to the west, and found that there were several identical warehouses, but no one noticed them along the way.

"Little brother, did you see these houses early in the morning? I didn't expect your eyesight to be so good. Zhang Jizu turned around and asked.

"No, it's too dark in here, and I haven't been paying attention to my surroundings, but it's because of the growing number of flying insects that I know it's where I should be." Liu Sisheng said as he took off the bamboo basket he was carrying behind him and took out something from it.

"Flying insects? Aren't these just ordinary insects? Is there anything special about them? Zhang Jizu asked curiously.

"This is very simple, just now Lao Jin said that there is only one corpse here, and now after three or four days at this temperature, the corpse must have begun to decompose, and these insects are far more sensitive to the smell of rotting corpses than us, don't you realize that we only appeared so many flying insects after we walked here?" Liu Sisheng explained.

"Oh! No wonder? So that's the case, Brother Liu, you can really do it. Lao Wang also came over.

"I'll take care of it first, and when you come in, find something to cover your mouth and nose." After Liu Sisheng finished speaking, he picked up the bamboo basket again, took a few bags of things, and walked towards the door of the morgue.

"Did he buy those things in his hand from the pharmacy just now?" Zhang Jizu touched Lao Wang and asked.

"I don't know, I went to buy buns when I parked, and I didn't pay much attention to what Brother Liu bought." Lao Wang also looked at Liu Sisheng curiously and said.

"Don't be so far away, come and help me shine a light." At this time, Liu Sisheng turned his head and shouted at Zhang Jizu and Lao Wang, Zhang Jizu looked embarrassed, but at this time he couldn't show that he was timid and afraid, so he had to helplessly follow Lao Wang to the door of the morgue. Sure enough, there were even more flying insects here, hitting people's faces, and at the same time, they could faintly smell the smell of rotting and stenching. Zhang Jizu suddenly remembered Liu Sisheng's reminder just now, and hurriedly took out his handkerchief from his pocket and covered his mouth and nose. Squinting and looking at Lao Wang again, this guy reacted faster, and he had already taken off his police uniform to cover his nose. At this time, Liu Sisheng had already opened the lock, and the iron chain around the iron door was also untied by him.

When the iron door of the morgue was pushed open, it was even more intense and pungent, and the disgusting smell of rancid smell accompanied by a greater number of flying insects rushed to the face, although the three of them covered their mouths and noses in advance, but the smell was too strong, choking the three of them invariably took a few steps back, and Zhang Jizu retreated even further, retching vigorously. Liu Sisheng frowned slightly and looked back in the direction of Zhang Jizu, there seemed to be a trace of fear in his eyes, don't look at him like Zhang Jizu's personality leakage, after all, for Liu Sisheng, this is the first time in his life that he has entered a place like a morgue, don't look at him since he was a child, he only likes to study, investigate and test these things, but now he has to really face the cold. Especially the dead corpses that still emit bursts of rancid smell, and at this moment, the heart is also "knocking and knocking" non-stop. "It's just that now it seems that the only one who can rely on is himself, and having Lao Wang and Zhang Jizu by his side can at most give himself courage, especially Zhang Jizu, looking at his current appearance, it is impossible to count on him to help." Thinking of this, Liu Sisheng let out a long breath, settled down, opened a paper bag that had been prepared just now, poured all the contents into a small black basin, and suddenly remembered that he was in a hurry and forgot to bring foreign fire, so he could only turn his head and say to Lao Wang, who was not too far away from him: "Captain Wang, do you have fire on you?" ”

"Oh, Brother Liu, are you asking me if I have a foreign fire on my body? Yes, yes. Lao Wang held the police uniform covering his mouth and nose with one hand, and groped around in his trouser pocket with the other hand. Huh? I remember I had a box of matches in my trouser pocket, why was it gone? Could it be that I just dropped it in the car? ”

"Little bunnies, can a dead man look at it for so long?"

Suddenly, the voice of the old man Jin came from the dark shadow, which startled the three of them, Zhang Jizu and Lao Wang hurriedly shone it with a flashlight, and saw that it was really the old man Jin who was hunched over and staring at them with his hands.

"Old golden man, you don't follow the road when it's so dark, what if you fall to your death?" Lao Wang deliberately teased when he saw Lao Jin coming.

"Bah, I'm going to kill you, it's really a dog can't spit out ivory." Lao Jin scolded back, looked at the appearance of the three people again, and finally his gaze stayed on Liu Sisheng, "I said, you can't be that you haven't been in yet, right?" Lao Jin asked in a tone of contempt.

"You don't know, here, it stinks!" Lao Wang covered his nose and said.

"Stink? You can't stand this smell, right? What kind of case do you have to investigate if you don't have the ability? Ay! Today's young people are really getting worse and worse! Lao Jin sarcastically mocked the three of them.

"Old, old man, do you have fire on you?" Liu Sisheng walked back and asked Old Man Jin.

But seeing Lao Jin dragging his lame leg and walking a few steps forward, he came to Liu Sisheng's approach, looked at the small black basin that Liu Sisheng was holding in his hand, stretched out his hand and pinched the things in the basin, sniffed his fingers again, and muttered: "Atractylodes, soaphorns, are you going to use their smoke to get rid of the smell of corpses here?" Lao Jin's voice was not high, but it was really surprising to Liu Sisheng.

"You, you are always ......," Liu Sisheng asked with a surprised face.

Old Man Jin didn't hear Liu Sisheng's words at all, and continued to murmur: "It's just that if that's the case, you can't tell the weirdness in this smell!" ”
