Chapter 9: The Finding of the Body Sparks Controversy
As the two of them entered the door, the silence instantly became terrifying, and I could hear Xiaozhi's teeth chatter and feel goosebumps shivering on her skin. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Li Jing pinched her arm, carefully confirming her condition, Xiaozhi shook his head: "It's just a little cold here." Xiaozhi insisted that he would react like this because he was afraid.
The old man turned on the switch on the wall with a "snap", and the bright light from the incandescent lamp instantly made the atmosphere in the room better. "Your mouth is white, and you are not afraid to speak." Li Jing looked at Xiaozhi worriedly.
Xiaozhi grinned awkwardly, and retorted a little unhappily: "I didn't invite you to laugh at me for being cowardly, I didn't forget the agreement between the two of us at the beginning, right?" She grabbed Li Jing's arm, tried to tiptoe and whispered in his ear: "Please come here to let you help call the police, if it is really like what the old man said, there are 15 corpses here that have not been found, I think you should know what to do, right?" I'll run away then, because I can't be found out. ”
Li Jing didn't answer him, just frowned and glanced at her, and followed the old man without saying a word.
Xiaozhi also tried to change the topic, she looked at the back of the old man who had been walking in front and asked, "Grandpa, all 15 corpses are like this?" The old man continued to walk on his own as if he had not heard. I know what Xiaozhi is worried about, this is a crematorium, and the murderer may burn these bodies in an incinerator at any time. If it had been burned, there would have been almost no evidence to be found. When she wanted to ask again, Li Jing made a silent gesture at her. Xiao Zhi retracted what he had to say.
It's a stairway-like place, with rooms on both sides of the passage. The old man pointed to these rooms, then turned back to us and said, "The things you are looking for are in these rooms, but I have forgotten the specific location, people are old, and there are not many things that can be remembered, especially what has just happened, it is always easy to forget." Perhaps, tomorrow, I will forget that you have been here, just as I have forgotten that everyone else has been here. "The old man has something to say.
"Thank you." Xiaozhi said softly.
The old man glanced at Xiaozhi: "Don't thank me, I'm just doing things according to your official documents." But what are you looking for? Although the old man was asking, but the mobile phone has not stopped moving, he opened a few doors and began to walk out on his own, when he passed by Xiaozhi, he didn't even look at them, and when he walked to the door, he said: "Ah, I remembered, I seem to have released the black boy, I have to go see the black boy, don't let him play crazy in the yard by himself." He walked out as if he were talking to himself, as if he had really forgotten that the two of them existed. After that, they heard a "click", and the old man locked the door outside. Xiaozhi was shocked all of a sudden, she wanted to rush over and knock on the door and ask the old man to open the door from the outside, but Li Jing grabbed her: "Have you forgotten?" It's connected to the abandoned building of the hospital. ”
The wise man suddenly realized, and some couldn't help but say: "It turns out." "It turned out that the old man wanted them to leave through another passage, and it seems that the old man really wanted to help them solve the problem.
Xiaozhi saw what Li Jing was typing on the keyboard of his mobile phone, so he leaned over curiously and asked, "What are you doing?" ”
"Call the police, didn't you tell me to call the police? Since the old man has opened the key doors, indicating that the body you are looking for is behind these doors, and since it has been determined that there are victims here, calling the police should be the wisest choice. He glanced at the deep passage again, "And we don't know what will happen in a while, isn't there an extra corpse today?" I'm sure there will be other things going on today, and don't you know about them over there, do you? Do you think they'll sit still? The reason they don't want you to work with me is because they want to solve it privately, right? But have you thought about the consequences of letting them settle it privately? Dealing with them privately will not do these victims any good, although it is true that they no longer exist in this world, but whether they are alive or dead, they should be treated with the least respect, but killing the murderer cannot be said to be revenge for them, it can only be said that it prevents the further expansion of time, but does nothing for the victims. But if it is handed over to the police, the murderer can be punished, so that the victim can be accountable. Although it may make you unhappy to say this, since I agree to cooperate with you and accept this case, I will not let the people on your side succeed, which is actually the purpose of you coming to me in the first place, right? You want to give an account to those victims, don't you? ”
Li Jing's series of questions directly stunned Xiaozhi, and it really poked Xiaozhi's mind. Xiaozhi pursed his lips and didn't speak, pushed open a door in his hand, and walked in directly, but immediately retreated, and instead pulled Li Jing into it together. Although he has always said that he will face everything bravely, in fact, he still does not dare to face the large number of corpses that may be broken apart alone.
When I entered the morgue, Xiaozhi was actually very devastated, although each corpse was pushed into the refrigerator, Xiaozhi still felt eerie, and I even had the idea of escaping in her mind. Still, he restrained his subconscious fear and observed what was going on around him. "How are we going to find it?" In addition to Xiaozhi looking at the countless refrigerated compartments and asking Li Jing, he sighed that the workload would be very large for a while.
After glancing at the surrounding situation, he said: "Actually, it is very simple, the corpse that is normally sent, in order to make it easier for the staff to find it, will directly paste the information of the corpse on it, such as the name of the deceased before his death and the date it was sent." If I'm not wrong, we can start with the refrigerated compartments that aren't labeled in any way. This is not an eye-catcher. ”
Xiaozhi thought for a while, looked at Li Jing and shook his head: "But I think that those with logos are more likely." Xiaozhi looked at Li Jing, "Think about it, if it is placed in a cabinet without a mark, if a new corpse is sent in, when the cabinet is opened, it will definitely cause trouble if you find those nameless corpses that should not have been placed here, and someone will have called the police a long time ago." Therefore, in order to avoid this kind of accident, the off-site will not be placed in any cabinet that may be opened. "What Xiaozhi said is categorical.
Li Jing did not refute Xiaozhi: "What you said does make sense. It's true that I'm a little careless, but if the name is written, it will also be found during the inspection. Every day, there will be people who will register the number and names of the bodies that have been sent today at the end of the day, and there will be people who will come to check when the handover is done, so do you think it is difficult to find a representative? In this case, as long as the compartment where the corpse is placed is not opened, it will not be exposed. ”
Xiaozhi couldn't say anything to refute, so he showed a distressed expression. Li Jing knew that Xiaozhi was unwilling, so he discussed: "In this way, you go and check the boxes with names on them, and I will check the boxes that are not marked, which will be faster." Li Jing took out a post-it note and a marker and handed them to Xiaozhi, "If you find the victim, write it down and stick it on their respective doors, so that when the police come, there will be no trouble." However, I hope that today's events will not have any shadow on your life later in life, and seeing so many corpses in one day is not a joke. ”
Xiaozhi took the pen and paper: "I'm mentally prepared." I heard the tremor in her voice, and I knew that Xiao Zhishi was scared.
Li Jing also saw it, but in order not to stimulate Xiaozhi's self-esteem, Li Jing just lowered his head and opened the unmarked refrigerators one by one.
Xiaozhi plucked up the courage to apologize and opened the first compartment where the body was placed: "I'm sorry to disturb you in this way after you died, but I want to find the victim of the disappearance, please forgive me for my presumptuousness." She closed her eyes tightly, and only opened them blindfolded after the lattice was opened, but in fact, the dead were not as terrible as she had imagined. The old man in the lattice lay down peacefully, as if he had just fallen asleep, and it could be seen that he must have been a kind old man during his lifetime. Not a victim, Xiaozhi apologized to the deceased again and quickly pushed the cabinet back. This action lasted for an hour, and Xiaozhi's courage gradually grew, although not every deceased person was peaceful, but after seeing more, Xiaozhi didn't want to be so scared at the beginning, in addition to apologizing to every deceased person who was disturbed by her, Xiaozhi gradually began to focus on finding the victim, and the action of opening the cabinet to confirm the identity was much faster. Although there were not many corpses stored in the room, it took Xiaozhi nearly an hour to find almost all the cabinets because of the delay that had begun to take place. Suddenly, Li Jing called Xiaozhi's name: "Xiaozhi, Xiaozhi." ”
Xiaozhi walked over quickly: "Found it?" Xiaozhi asked.
Li Jing quickly pushed the cabinet back into its place, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief and said to Xiaozhi: "I found it, but the state of the corpse is terrible, you have to be mentally prepared." ”
Xiaozhi nodded: "It's okay, I've just seen too many corpses, and not every one of them is complete, so I feel like I can bear the impact that I'm about to see on me, no matter how terrible it is." ”
Li Jing put a sticker on the cabinet, and when he wanted to intercept Xiaozhi again, Xiaozhi had already ignored her obstruction and opened the cabinet without authorization, and then before I could react, her deafening exclamation suddenly came from my ears, "Ah." ”
I was startled, but I didn't know what he was seeing because Xiaozhi closed his eyes tightly. I could feel her back soaked in cold sweat, I could hear her pounding heartbeat, and I could feel her crouching down and curling herself up. I knew what she had just seen must have frightened her. She threw up, and I heard a cabinet close. After that, I felt a warm embrace, as well as a gentle hand patting Xiaozhi's back and gentle comfort in his ear: "It's okay, it's okay." ”
Xiaozhi was still retching, but the hand patting her back and the voice comforting her didn't show any impatience. I felt tears slip out of the corners of Xiaozhi's eyes. But what surprised me was that Xiaozhi didn't have the slightest intention of escaping, even if I struggled to control this body, Xiaozhi's mind in fear was still very strong, and it took a while for Xiaozhi to open his eyes: "I'm sorry." Xiaozhi snorted.
Li Jing shook his head, helped Xiaozhi wipe the tears on his face, and proposed; "Let's get out."
Xiao Zhihui did not refuse, and obediently followed Li Jing out: "I'm sorry. Xiaozhi apologized again.
"I warned you." Li Jing said.
Xiaozhi nodded: "I didn't expect the murderer to do such a bad and excessive thing. Xiaozhi was still crying. Although I didn't notice what Xiaozhi saw at that time (in fact, I saw the scene he saw at that time in Xiaozhi's countless dreams later. A long-haired woman had her cornea removed, her internal organs hollowed out, her limbs scattered around her head and torso, and the most terrifying thing was that the location of her eyes on her face became two empty black holes. The effect of this incident on Xiaozhi is that she will always think of the scene countless times when she is alone or in her sleep, and then she will let out an unstoppable scream, as if she is crazy, squatting on the ground with her head and screaming. It's not that she didn't take her to psychological counseling, but the doctor said that the incident stimulated her unreversely, and the possibility of her returning to normal in her life is very small. It was also at that time that Ban Que took advantage of Xiaozhi's most vulnerable time to implement his plan, but things later changed beyond imagination, and under the double stimulus, Xiaozhi finally collapsed, but this is a later thing.
Xiaozhi cried, and Li Jing was by his side, and he no longer dared to take Xiaozhi into other rooms where the victim's body might be stored. However, a new situation has occurred. Because of Xiaozhi's shout, there was a chaotic sound from the other end of the passage, it should be Jin Hao and them, I guessed.
The two also heard the voice, although Xiaozhi still didn't stop crying, but immediately realized that the situation had changed, and looked at Li Jing in front of him with some panic. "What should I do?" She asked in a whisper.
Li Jing glanced around, pulled Xiaozhi to another morgue, and quietly closed the door and locked it. "Don't be afraid." Li Jing said this, listening to the movement outside the door, "The police are also coming." ”
The footsteps outside the door were getting louder and louder, and Xiaozhi looked at Li Jing with some fear. Li Jing just put his index finger in front of his lips and motioned for Xiaozhi not to make any sound.
Xiao Zhi nodded and closed his mouth, then Xiao Zhi pointed to the surrounding lattice where the corpses were stored. "Do you dare to look at it?" Li Jing's eyes widened and he said in Xiaozhi's ear in an angry voice. Xiaozhi nodded: "If you can find one more, we can't wait here stupidly." ”
Li Jing hesitated and nodded. This time, the two of them started to open the unmarked lattices from different directions at the same time. Li Jing still looked at Xiaozhi with some concern, Xiaozhi waved his hand and said with his lips: "I won't call anymore." Li Jing couldn't say anything, so he could only let Xiaozhi open the cabinets one by one. The two of them were light-hearted, for fear of being heard at all. Until Xiaozhi opened a cabinet and saw a picture of the dead that made her unbelievable. She took a deep breath and looked at Li Jing.
Li Jing also noticed the change in Xiaozhi, and as if he was afraid that Xiaozhi would scream again, he quickly ran to Xiaozhi's side. The moment he saw the deceased's body, he was stunned, not because of how terrifying the deceased's appearance was, in fact, although the deceased's state was also terrifying, it was not too shocking compared to the appearance of the female victim just now. It's just that Li Jing is not very familiar with the identity of the victim, but soon Li Jing reflected and asked, "Li Ruxuan?" ”
Xiaozhi shook his head: "No, it's Lin Muyu." ”
Li Jing looked at Xiaozhi in some surprise: "This is different from what you think." ”
Xiaozhi looked at the dismembered corpse in front of him, and suddenly said, "This is the first time he has killed someone." ”
Li Jing also looked at the corpse, and after observing it for a while, he nodded in agreement with Xiaozhi's opinion: "The incision is rough, although it can be seen that surgical tools are used, but it can be seen that the murderer is the first time to kill, or the first time to dismember the body, he is not confident enough, and the incision has many sections, indicating that the murderer has no experience and cannot master the strength, and he also cut the victim's abdomen open, all of which are imitating the previous murderer's behavior." If I guessed correctly, the murderer, now tentatively Li Ruxuan, he seems to be imitating the behavior of the murderer before, if the murderer was Lin Muyu before, he is imitating Lin Muyu's behavior. He did not take Lin Muyu's organs, but only superficially imitated his act of dismembering the corpse, and it is possible that he did not find a buyer who could buy the corpse organs. But one thing we can be sure of is that it was Li Ruxuan who sent the body to the crematorium every time. The old man in the crematorium just now had already said that there was an extra corpse today, which showed that he was familiar with Li Ruxuan, knew that Li Ruxuan was the person who sent the corpse, and he didn't know about Lin Muyu's existence. It can be said that if Lin Muyu was the murderer who carried out the murder before, in order not to let people know that he had been hiding behind the scenes, he asked Li Ruxuan to come forward and hand over to the crematorium. The old man should know these things, and the most important thing is that the old man may have seen these corpses, and even been stimulated by the corpses, but he should have been threatened or for some other reason, so he couldn't report it. That's why when he knew we were here for these victims, he pretended to have forgotten everything and helped us open all the rooms where the bodies were kept. ”
Speaking of this, Li Jing once again set his eyes on Lin Muyu's corpse: "But what makes me wonder the most now is why Li Ruxuan killed Lin Muyu." According to your previous speculation, it should be Lin Muyu who killed him. Even if Li Ruxuan inadvertently killed Lin Muyu when he resisted in order to survive in the struggle, as long as he sent Lin Muyu's body here, why imitate Lin Muyu's behavior? Li Jing seemed to be muttering to himself.
Could it be that he wants to tell the people who may find out the truth in the future and that there are other murderers? I mean, as a cover for his murder? Xiao Zhi speculated on the side, the state of the corpse was terrifying, even if it didn't have the impact just now. But Xiaozhi still didn't look over his head, so that his eyes didn't touch the corpse.
Li Jing shook his head and hurt Xiaozhi's guess: "No, if you want to clear the suspicion, he should directly remove the internal organs of the corpse, but he didn't." And judging from the state of the corpse, he doesn't look like he's venting his anger, although it seems that destroying the corpse is a way to vent his anger, but it's clear that he's just imitating it, except
Other corpses also had traces of destruction with knives, but there were no other wounds on the corpses, which obviously did not fit the characteristics of venting anger. It's just a simple imitation, and because it's the first time he's done this kind of thing, he hasn't overcome his psychological pressure yet. That's why I wonder why he imitates Lin Muyu, logically he should have left as soon as possible after the manslaughter, but in fact, he regarded himself as the previous murderer after the killing, doing the same thing. ”
Xiaozhi was a little confused when she heard this, and she looked at Li Jing suspiciously, "Why did he do this?" But he didn't show any of these characteristics before? Because you've been by the murderer's side for a long time, do you also think of yourself as a murderer? "I know that's the only reason Xiaozhi can think of.
Li Jing shook his head and showed a serious expression: "Maybe the reason is more complicated. ”
But before Li Jing could react to Xiaozhi, a familiar voice came from outside: "Xiaozhi, I know you are here, staying with the police." The threat in his tone was obvious, and it looked like Jin Hao should have told him everything. Are you afraid that Xiaozhi will become stronger and find support? I sneered inwardly
When Xiaozhi heard the voice, his face changed suddenly: "It's Brother Banque." Xiaozhi whispered, and the end of the note even trembled, "What should I do?" He must have been angry. ”
Suddenly, I felt darkness in front of me, and I heard Li Jing's business calling his name: "Xiaozhi, Xiaozhi." ”
But when I opened my eyes again, I realized that I had become the controller of this body again. It seems that Xiaozhi was afraid that his brother Banque would be angry, so he asked me to find a way for her. I sighed, I dared to face even the corpse bravely, why didn't I dare to face a bastard who was strong on the outside? Are you really that afraid that he will be angry?
I turned my head to look at Li Jing, but Li Jing looked at Xiaozhi, to be precise, his eyes changed when he looked at me. He watched me pour Xiaozhi's name again, and I agreed, not wanting him to see the identity replacement. Li Jing wanted to say something to me, but he held back, "Shhh After that, he motioned for me not to respond to the conversation outside. I nodded, it was exactly what I wanted, and it was an opportunity for me to find a better candidate to complete the class. Xiaozhi, I'm sorry, your Banque brother may soon leave you forever. (To be continued.) )
