Chapter Eighty-Six: The Body Hanging from the Beams of the House

Wang Feiyu continued to move his steps, and Ning Hao followed closely, ready to listen.

"I saw that sign on a coffin, and this coffin is my wife's coffin."

"You're married?" Ning Hao asked.

"Yes," Wang Feiyu looked down at the road under his feet, and his wife's face appeared in his mind again, and now the photo of them was placed on the table in the police office, "I got married five years ago, but unfortunately, my wife died in an accident three years ago." At the funeral, I saw that logo carved into her coffin. Later, like you, I also conducted a series of investigations, but I found nothing except that I knew that this sign was the Nine Mischief Soul Grass. ”

"Are you sure it's the exact same logo?"

Ning Hao asked this sentence, mainly because the logo behind the mirror was just the opposite of the logo of the Holy Light Organization.

Wang Feiyu said: "Why do you ask that? ”

"There are actually two signs of this, one is positive and the other is inverse. The one Wang Li drew was the Holy Light Organization, but there was another symbol that was different from the Holy Light Organization. ”

"You mean, one left-handed, one right-handed?"

Ning Hao nodded.

Wang Feiyu continued: "In ancient semiotics, right-handed represents auspiciousness. I think the meanings of these two symbols are completely different, one is the demonic mark that will bring infinite painful memories to all mankind, and the other is the symbol of great love and compassion, both of which are very different in terms of connotation and extension. But I didn't really pay attention to it at the time......"

The two of them had already walked to the hut in the forest, and Ning Hao looked at the hut and said, "This is it, where I spent the night last night." ”

Wang Feiyu stepped forward and knocked on the door, but no one answered. Looking at the door, there was a crack exposed, and it was unlocked. He shouted again: "Is there anyone inside?" ”

Still no one answered, and then pushed the door open, Wang Feiyu was stunned.

Ning Hao took a few steps back and said, "This ...... How could this be? ”

Wang Feiyu, who was calm and calm, looked up at the dead body hanging with a rope, and still couldn't help but tremble. The corpse was dry, gray, with dry flesh and bones, and a sunken belly, and it was impossible to distinguish its appearance.

Wang Feiyu turned around and asked Ning Hao, "You stayed here last night?" Sleeping with this guy? ”

Ning Hao's lips were dry, he didn't know why this was the case, he said, "I stayed with an old man and his son last night. The old man is the night watchman here, and his son's name is Huya, and the three of us stayed here yesterday. ”

Wang Feiyu looked suspicious and felt that this matter was strange, but he knew in his heart that Ning Hao couldn't make a big fuss about this kind of thing, lying and deceiving people.

He sighed and said, "I'll call the local police right now to come and take a look." This place is very suspicious. If you did live here yesterday, then I want to congratulate you, you are still alive. ”

Ning Hao looked at the dried corpse hanging from the beam of the house and said, "This corpse should have been going on for a long time, not like a person who just died." ”

"I'm not ......blind," Wang Feiyu said solemnly, "Now I will contact the serious crime team and ask them to come to their aid, and the forensic doctor will further determine the time of death of this corpse." ”

Wang Feiyu's expression was solemn, he walked out of the wooden house, and said, "We can only keep the crime scene here and wait for them to come." ”

At this moment, the voice of the system came from Ning Hao's head: "It is detected that you have entered the scene of the crime, and the investigation task is to find out the origin and cause and effect of the dried corpse, and you can get 50,000 echo points and a skill lottery." Do you accept the assignment? ”

When the system appeared, Ning Hao was already surprised.

Now he slowly understands that these cases are not pre-arranged by the system, but that it can detect the crime scene and start tasks randomly.

This kind of system is different from most of the systems in the online article, but now Ning Hao can't figure out where the system comes from and what his intentions are.

After Ning Hao responded "yes", he saw Wang Feiyu close the door of the wooden house, and the two of them sat in the open space in front of the wooden house and waited for the other police officers to arrive.

However, Ning Hao was restless, and he was always worried about Ning Miao's safety.

A person who looks exactly like himself took his sister away from the hospital, and this happened too puzzlingly.

Ning Hao said to Wang Feiyu: "I didn't lie, I did spend the night here with the old man and his son yesterday, but the surveillance camera in the hospital captured someone who looked exactly like me, which doesn't make sense!" ”

"I'm not going to jump to conclusions until I find out what's going on here, but I'm really worried about you."

"What are you worried about me?"

"None of this is logical, if it really makes sense, I think ......" Wang Feiyu pointed to his head with his index finger, "You may have something wrong here." ”

They waited for an hour, and the local police officers had already arrived, and after Wang Feiyu showed his ID, he watched as the police officers wore white coats and gloves to remove the dried corpse from the beams of the house.

A female forensic doctor walked over, her face was delicate, but her eyes revealed the sophistication of the way.

She picked up the mineral water bottle in her hand, took a sip of water, tightened the cap, and said, "Detective Wang, I am Murong Qianxue, the forensic doctor of the serious crime team in this area. ”

"Hello." Wang Feiyu shook hands with Murong Qianxue and said, "When did this dried corpse die?" ”

Murong Qianxue said: "I can't be sure about this yet, but after preliminary judgment, this corpse has been at least more than a few years. ”

"It's weird that corpses don't decompose." Ning Hao on the side frowned and said.

Murong Qianxue's horn raised and said, "Isn't this strange...... After the death of the human body, the cells in the body will begin to carry out their own autolysis process, and the lysosomes in the cells release various proteolytic enzymes, so that the biological macromolecules are gradually degraded into small molecules.

However, the dried corpse violates this natural process and does not decompose, but instead exists in the form of a dried corpse. Dried corpses are also relatively common, but they are just the result of the drying of the whole corpse. ”

After listening to this, Wang Feiyu said, "But this corpse won't be killed naturally, right?" ”

"You're right, dried corpses can be divided into two subtypes: artificial corpses and natural dried corpses."

Ning Hao asked: "Then these must create conditions for the corpse, otherwise how can they become dry corpses?" ”

"It's true that artificial dried corpses are formed in the way that they are all disposed of after death. Normally, the person who makes the dried corpse will open the body cavity of the deceased, remove the internal organs, and the body will be watered with hot-melted rosin and then wrapped in a cloth soaked in rosin.

There is also a kind of dry corpse in the coffin, because the cemetery is high and cool, the groundwater level is low, and the coffin and the tomb have a high degree of sealing, the coffin does not leak, so it is not affected by groundwater and humidity.

The decay process and oxidation process inside the coffin consume the oxygen left behind, forming an oxygen-deficient environment.

In addition, the decomposition products of corpse tissues and some substances are not conducive to the growth and reproduction of putrefactive bacteria, and the decay of corpses gradually stops.

The water of the corpse seeps out of the body and is absorbed by the water-absorbing substances such as rush grass, charcoal, lime and other substances stored in the coffin, and the corpse gradually dissolves and forms a dry corpse. ”
