Chapter 42: The Morgue
At about eight o'clock in the evening, Ling Xu dragged his tired body back to the dormitory, he ran to three banks in the afternoon and transferred Li Baifu's bank account transaction slip, the reason why it took so long was because when he transferred Li Baifu's account, by the way, he transferred out the account transaction slip of Lao Tan, Tang Dazhu, Tang Erzhu and others.
Looking at the long stack of transaction slips in the bag, Ling Xu secretly complained bitterly, and said in his heart, "When do you have to see this?" ”
After inspecting Corey's room and closing the doors and windows, Ling Xu returned to the dormitory, locked the door, and began to check the transaction slips.

Looking at this transaction order, Ling Xu's face was full of disappointed expressions, every time he finished reading a document, he recorded a few notes on the notepad next to him, when Ling Xu was looking at it, the mobile phone rang, seeing the caller number, Ling Xu looked happy, and hurriedly pressed the answer button: "Hey...... Wanqing, have you eaten? ”
It turned out that the call was from Mo Wanqing, and when she heard Ling Xu's greeting, Mo Wanqing told him sweetly on the microphone, saying that she had eaten, and after asking about Ling Xu's situation, Mo Wanqing asked Ling Xu on the phone if she had time on the weekend? Can you go to Yanjing to find her?
As soon as he heard this, Ling Xu suddenly became nervous, thinking that Mo Chengyun had given Mo Wanqing another object? Hurriedly asked what was wrong? Hearing the anxiety in Ling Xu's tone, Mo Wanqing guessed Ling Xu's thoughts and hurriedly explained the reason to him.
It turned out that Mo Wanqing's school was about to go on vacation, and before the holiday, Mo Wanqing's class organized a group activity, climbing and exploring Lingwu Mountain, and asked each student to bring a family member to participate, Mo Wanqing's parents went abroad for inspection, and her brother and sister were busy with the family business, so she wanted Ling Xu to go with her.
As soon as he heard that this was the case, Ling Xu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately said that he was fine on the weekend and would arrive at the school on time to gather, hearing that Ling Xu was willing to come, Mo Wanqing looked very happy on the phone.
Then, the two chatted on the phone, and after chatting for more than an hour, the two reluctantly hung up the phone.
Hanging up the phone, Ling Xu calculated the time, today is still five days away from the weekend, he has to hurry up to investigate the case, Ling Xu, who had planned to rest early, put away his mobile phone, and continued to check those account transaction slips.
On the next day, Ling Xu took the key given to him by Shi Jinguang and went to the crematorium, although Ling Xu had heard of the name of the crematorium for a long time, but he had never seen it, he was still a little excited on the way there, but after he really went in, he found that it was unnatural.
Don't know what's going on? As soon as Ling Xu entered the crematorium, he had a strange feeling, as if there was something all around? It made him feel very uncomfortable, don't look at Ling Xu yelling at him all day long that he was timid, but in fact, his courage was not small.
But from the moment Ling Xu entered the crematorium and stepped out of the car, he felt that his calves and stomach kept trembling, and when he walked, the soles of his feet were soft and fluttering, that feeling was emanating from his heart, no matter how Ling Xu calmed down his emotions, that faint sense of fear was like a maggot on the tarsal bones, and he couldn't get rid of it.
Barely suppressing the idea of escaping from this place, Ling Xu said hello to the staff in the crematorium, and after identifying himself, a shriveled and thin old man in a Mao suit led the way in front with an expressionless face.
When the old man walked to the side of the police car, he glanced at the police car, and then put his eyes on Ling Xu: "You came in from the north gate?" ”
Ling Xu nodded, looking at the old man with some confusion: "Yes, what's wrong?" ”
"The crematorium is a place to bid farewell to the dead, so it must be built on the Yin Land, at the beginning of the construction, according to the guidance of the Feng Shui Master, this place was deliberately chosen in this location, this place is backed by the woods, the left side of the river, and there is a mound on the north side, which is an excellent Yin Land for Feng Shui.
After it was completed, according to the instructions of Mr. Feng Shui, two roads were specially built, one against the mound and the other against the river, and all vehicles and people had to enter the south gate and exit the north gate, according to Mr. Feng Shui, only in this way could they not be stained by the dead air in the crematorium.
When I said this before, many people didn't believe it, and they had to enter the crematorium from the north gate, but as soon as they got home, they encountered all kinds of weird and obscure things, and after that, no one dared to question this statement, just now you came in from the north gate......" When he said this, the old man stopped talking and looked at Ling Xu with a playful expression.
After hearing this, Ling Xu couldn't help but laugh: "Hehe...... Feudal superstition, old ideas. ”
After laughing twice, Ling Xu didn't say a word, swooped onto the police car, started the car, stepped on the accelerator, turned the steering wheel, drove the police car out of the north gate, turned around at the door, and drove in through the south gate.
After getting out of the car, Ling Xu walked up to the old man: "How is it?" Did you crack the mistake you just made? ”
Seeing Ling Xu's actions, the old man was obviously stunned for a moment, and he turned his head and led Ling Xu to the morgue.
The dark and damp corridor, the gray and miserable walls, the swaying light bulbs, the cold and cold iron bed, after Ling Xu entered the morgue, the expression on his face became even more uncomfortable, and as soon as he opened the door of the morgue, a cold and cold breeze rushed towards him.
There is a huge wall in the morgue, and there are small square grids on the wall, and when you walk in, there is a number on each grid, and in addition to the number, there is a handle, if you don't know the inside story, if you hold the handle and pull the grid out, you will definitely be frightened.
Because those lattices are actually freezers for storing corpses, some of the corpses in them are intact, some have been ground into minced meat, some have just been stored for a few weeks, and some have been stored for decades, several of them are still locked, looking at the rust on the lock surface, presumably the corpses stored inside have been stored for a while, and after staying in the house for a while, Ling Xu smelled a thick corpse gas.
Just as Ling Xu was stunned by the scene in the morgue, suddenly, a shriveled palm slapped on his shoulder: "Have you seen enough?" The body you are looking for is in the freezer in the seventh column of the third row on the north side. ”
The room full of corpses was scary enough, and there was an old man who looked like a ghost next to him, Ling Xu's heart had a feeling that he was about to collapse, he regretted it a little at this time, regretted that he had come to this kind of ghost place alone, he had known that he was so panicked, so he pulled Shi Jinguang with him.
According to the old man's instructions, Ling Xu pretended to be bold and walked to the wall of the freezer, searched carefully, and then found his target, but when he saw the number on the freezer, he couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "What does the number on this 19891006 mean?" And also? How can there be a lock on it? ”
Hearing Ling Xu's words, the old man glanced at him, and then said angrily, "Can't you tell the meaning of "row" and "column"? I'm talking about the seventh column of the third row, but you're looking for the seventh row of the third column.
The number you said is the storage date of the corpse, you should know that you are looking for the wrong number, according to the number, the number of the freezer you are looking for is 20150820, which means that the body in the freezer was put in on August 20, 2015. ”
"Thank you, thank you." After thanking the old man, Ling Xu looked for it again, and after a while, he found the freezer where Li Baifu's body was stored, pulled out the freezer, opened the body bag, and took out the body pieces inside.
Seeing that Ling Xu was busy working alone, the old man also helped to carry the corpse out of the freezer, put the corpse pieces on the iron bed and put them together, Ling Xu began to look, he did not examine the incision on the corpse this time, but specifically observed the fragments of clothes that wrapped the corpse.
Although the cloth that wrapped the body was stained red with blood, it was faintly recognizable, and the pieces of fabric that wrapped the body were gray, and there were many oil stains and stains, and the bottom of the trouser leg showed tattered threads.
Seeing this, Ling Xu stripped off the pieces of clothes on the corpse and put them into a physical evidence bag, and he and the old man moved the corpse back to the freezer, after closing the freezer, Ling Xu was so frightened that his head broke out in a cold sweat, and the old man was tired and sweating profusely.
"Thank you, sir, for your hard work." Ling Xu thanked the old man.
"I'm getting older, my body is not good, but fortunately this is piece by piece, if it is a whole body, I really can't move." The old man waved, then looked at the file bag in Ling Xu's hand: "Are you okay?" It's okay, let's go back. ”
Ling Xu didn't want to stay here for a long time, after hearing the old man's proposal, he nodded and walked out without thinking about it, and when he was leaving, Ling Xu subconsciously glanced back, looking at the numbered lattices on the wall, he had a vague feeling that this place was ...... It seems a little unusual.
