Chapter 22: Suspicion
Qin Ran stepped forward.
It was as if I hadn't seen the entire row of corpse lockers in front of me, but ...... The corpse locker 'saw' Qin Ran who was coming, and almost lagged slightly, and these corpse cabinets shrank back again.
Click!
There was a sound of machine springs, and an entire wall of corpse lockers was pushed open from side to side like two doors that opened inward.
A huge secret room appeared in front of Qin Ran.
A chair resembling an operating table was in the far middle of the room, and on the tiled floor around it, blackened with blood, and on the hanging iron chain hooks, there were stumps and severed arms.
Qin Ran's gaze swept over those stumps and broken arms that had long since decayed.
Obviously, it was not the arms and legs that his wife had lost, but the way it was cut from earlier, and the cutting technique was very rough, it was the kind of knife that cut down, and half of the arms and thighs were connected to the torso, so that half of the wound was still flat, and the remaining half was the tearing of the skin and muscles and the uneven fracture of the bones.
"Torture?"
Naturally, this word appeared in Qin Ran's mind.
The torn wounds and broken bones were all telling Qin Ran that if this cutter was serious, he could easily cut off the target's arms and legs.
However, the other party did not do so.
Instead, they chose a different, more laborious approach.
Except for the intentional torture, Qin Ran couldn't think of any other possibilities.
Following the severed arm of the stump, Qin Ran's gaze looked at the recliner that resembled an operating table, with several thick, widened cowhide belts on it.
Undoubtedly, all the cutting is done here.
However, Qin Ran's focus will not be on chairs or cow belts, but on something deeper.
Laugh at!
Qin Ran's fingertips swiped across the surface of the chair.
The already dry and rotten artificial leather was torn in an instant, revealing a filthy sponge and a child's fist-sized ...... Statue.
An eye is large, occupying two-thirds of the volume, and inside is carved a statue resembling the moon.
There was no need for a prompt from the system, when he saw the abstract style of the statue, Qin Ran could be sure that it should be from Mordin's handwriting.
In fact, the same is true.
[Name: Statue of Mordin]
[Type: Sundries]
[Quality: Legendary]
[Attack: None]
[Defense: Strong]
[Attribute: Touch of the Moon]
[Special Effect: None]
[Requirements: None]
[Can I bring out this copy: Yes]
[Note: It originated from the master carver Mordin, although it has not been recorded, but it does not affect the power contained in itself]
……
[Touch of the Moon: It can gather negative energy, attract geists, convert them into pure vitality, and transmit them to the holder; 0.5 HP/min (Day) 1 HP/min (Night) 5 HP/min (Bathing in Moonlight or Transmuting Negative Energy, Geism)】
……
"Rejuvenation?"
Qin Ran squinted his eyes and played with the statue in his hand.
Almost as soon as he picked up the statue, translucent figures appeared in front of him on the surrounding walls and ground.
Hundreds of translucent figures were densely packed in this secret room.
The faces of each figure were blank, no thoughts, no memories, only the instinct of the deceased to be attracted by the statue of Mordin.
Qin Ran didn't use the [Remnant Mordine Statue] to transform these wandering spirits.
Not only did he not use such means, but also because he was wary of the statue of Mordin.
He hadn't forgotten how he got here.
Put away the [Remnant Mordine Statue], those wandering spirits seemed to have just woken up from a dream, looking at Qin Ran in front of them, they all burrowed back to the wall and ground with a cry of fear, and scattered in an instant.
Unlike the instinct to be attracted to the statue of Mordin.
Facing Qin Ran's fear, they can know what to do.
After carefully inspecting the secret room, and after no more gains, Qin Ran walked out, came to the corner of the wall, and gently tapped McCloth with his toes.
"It hurts, it hurts."
With a groan of pain, McCloth woke up.
As soon as she opened her eyes, the female forensic doctor saw Qin Ran.
Subconsciously, the female forensic doctor clenched her fists and prepared to punch Qin Ran fiercely.
She hadn't forgotten how she had fainted.
However, immediately, as more memories emerged, McCloth's whole body trembled, and his clenched fist turned into a palm, and he was about to grab Qin Ran's trouser leg as soon as he raised his hand.
However, he was once again avoided by Qin Ran.
"There's a secret room in your morgue."
"There must have been a lot of deaths inside."
"I suggest you contact Grady."
Qin Ran said very simply.
"The Chamber of Secrets? Dead person? Grady? ”
"No, no, no!"
"Can't contact Grady!"
"She's going to seal my forensic studio!"
"Without the forensic office, I wouldn't have been able to pay off the loan!"
"If I can't pay off the loan, I'll have my house taken away!"
"Without a house, I'll be on the streets!"
After the female forensic doctor repeated Qin Ran's words in a daze, she began to shake her head rapidly, she said urgently, and then, she stood up and ran towards the secret room.
"W-This?!"
At the first glance of the secret room, the female forensic doctor was stunned.
Because, the scene in front of her was the same as what she saw when she entered the corpse locker before.
The only difference is that she is standing now.
And before?
She was trapped in what looked like an operating table, a shadowy guy with a knife in his hand, gesturing at her body with a knife.
The female forensic doctor has a spirit all over her body.
It's not that female forensic doctors are timid.
Being able to become a forensic doctor is enough to show that McCloth is very bold.
It's just that the previous situation was too realistic.
It's the same as what she's been through.
Qin Ran stood on the outside of the morgue and looked at McCloth in the secret room, he clearly felt the slightest change in the energy in the other party's body.
Although it was negative energy, it did not consume McCloth's vitality in the slightest, but nourished McCloth's body.
"Psychic quality?"
Recalling a book he had read in Nikelle's study, a hint of surprise flashed in Qin Ran's eyes.
Unlike ordinary psychics and transcendentals, psychic mediums are rare.
Because, the psychic medium is completely inherited by luck, even if the parents are the psychic, the child born will not be 100% the psychic.
Like the rumored prophets.
Rare, rare is a specific description of these people.
And at this time, when he met a forensic doctor with spiritual qualities, Qin Ran thought of more.
The original idea also changed.
"What are you going to do with it?"
Qin Ran asked.
"I ......"
Instinctively, I wanted to say, close here, everything should have happened as soon as McCloth's words came out, and he inexplicably recalled the scene when he had just been bound there.
Unwilling and fearful, filled her heart.
She couldn't say anything like that at all.
"I'll look into this!"
Eventually, the female forensic doctor said.
Then, the female forensic doctor looked at Qin Ran expectantly.
Qin Ran, who appeared in front of her in the crisis, was really her lifesaver.
What's more, Qin Ran really saved her life.
"Thank you for saving my life!"
"Someone as sympathetic as you would definitely help me, wouldn't you?"
After thanking her, the female forensic doctor put her hands in front of her, her eyes widened, and she tried her best to look pitiful, if she hadn't been kicked away by Qin Ran several times, she would definitely pull Qin Ran's arm and sway from side to side at this time.
"Nope."
"That's not right."
"On your own."
Qin Ran replied indifferently.
"Then why are you here at night......
The female forensic doctor questioned Qin Ran, but before the words came out, the female forensic doctor reacted.
The body of the other party's wife is here.
Even if it is an ex-wife, the relationship between the two is far stronger than that of a stranger who has only met her once.
Therefore, the reason why the other party appeared here, of course, cannot be because of her, but only because of his ex-wife.
Thinking of this, the female forensic doctor squatted down in a daze.
"I knew I shouldn't have to take out a mortgage to buy a house."
"If I hadn't bought a house, I wouldn't have been so tired."
"If I weren't so tired, I wouldn't have encountered these things."
The female forensic doctor squatted there, holding herself, looking weak, pitiful, and helpless.
And then......
She heard Qin Ran's footsteps in the distance, and the sound of the door closing in the morgue.
Suddenly, the female forensic doctor was left alone in the morgue.
I didn't feel anything with Qin Ran just now, but now that Qin Ran left, the female forensic doctor suddenly felt that something was wrong.
It was as if someone was watching her from the ceiling.
It was as if someone was watching her on the floor.
Someone on the left is looking at her.
On the right, someone seems to be looking at her.
The female forensic doctor couldn't help but shiver, and her hairs stood on end.
The female forensic doctor, who was still feeling sorry for herself one moment, jumped up the next moment and ran out.
She shouted as she ran.
"Wait for me!"
However, by the time the female forensic doctor chased him out, there was no trace of Qin Ran anymore.
All that's there are are empty streets.
A cool evening breeze blows.
The female medical examiner shuddered again.
Even if the lights in the forensic studio were not turned off, they didn't dare to go back and turn them off, so they ran towards the crowded place.
After Qin Ran watched the female forensic doctor leave in a panic, he began to use McCloth's forensic studio as the center of the circle, searching for any suspicious buildings within a radius of 10 kilometers.
After finding nothing, Qin Ran returned to the 'Elm Street' community and searched the entire community in the same way.
Again, there are no anomalies.
"There is a change in the arms, there is no change in the torso and head, and the ability to sit up is only the ghosts who are playing ghosts."
"Even if the other party is only controlling the arm, within a radius, there should be a trace of breath, but there is no breath left around."
At the beginning of the appearance of that arm, according to the mysterious knowledge that Qin Ran knew, the head and torso of the corpse would also change, so Qin Ran went to the forensic studio to find more clues.
But the development of things is obviously different from what Qin Ran thought.
"Using a secret technique I don't know?"
"Or maybe you find something wrong and immediately erase all traces?"
"Or is there someone else who owns that arm?"
Qin Ran recalled the scenes he had encountered before.
More doubts began to arise.
Then, Qin Ran thought of the [Remnant Mordine Statue] he had just gotten.
"That [Broken Mordine Statue], is it there in the first place?"
"Or is this also the other party's arrangement?"
"If it's the other party's arrangement, then ...... What exactly does the other person want to do? ”
Qin Ran would never believe that there was such a thing as pie falling from the sky.
Although the [Broken Mordine Statue] is nothing to him, it is still a rare good thing for others.
To give up such a good thing, it must be because of the greater good.
"Is it ......?"
"Someone here is also collecting Mordin's statues?"
Qin Ran suddenly thought of something.
More speculations appeared in Qin Ran's mind along with this hypothesis.
"If that's the case......"
Qin Ran's eyes narrowed slightly, and a glint flashed.
One by one, Qin Ran quietly returned to the room of this identity.
The eastern sky was already lit up at this moment.
I don't know when the morning sun has appeared.
A new day has begun.
The two police officers, who were staring at the night of 2-1-6, began to yawn.
"Coffee."
Grady, who was riding a motorcycle, handed the coffee in her hand to her two men.
"Thanks, Boss."
Two police officers took the coffee.
"How?"
Grady asked.
"There was nothing abnormal, after tidying up the room, I fell asleep, and around dawn, I got up and started washing and moving."
"Just went to the 4-2-2 Love Eatery and got a lot of food."
"What an appetite."
"It's not like someone who just died of his wife."
A police officer reported.
"It's an ex-wife."
"The relationship is broken and divorced, and then, I'm afraid I wish the other party died, right?"
"Now that a man is dead, isn't it just what he wants?"
"Boss, did you find anything?"
The other officer corrected, then looked at Grady.
"I investigated the information of the two and found ......"
Just as Grady was about to say something, the sheriff's eyes suddenly looked not far away.
A tired man staggered over.
"Is this the residence of Doctor 2567?"
The other party asked Grady very politely, but the bloodshot in the other party's eyes made such politeness very strange.
"Yes, right there."
Grady gestured to the door of 2-1-6.
"Thank you."
After politely thanking the other party, he sped up and walked towards the gate of 2-1-6, and rang the doorbell directly.
"Doctor 2567?"
"I'm the patient who made your appointment."
"I'm sorry I came early, please help me."
In the midst of the pleading, the little nurse walked out and motioned for the other party to come in.
Looking at the other party's distant back, Graydie frowned slightly.
"What's wrong, boss?"
A subordinate asked.
"Don't you think that person is familiar?"
Grady asked.
"Familiar?"
Another subordinate was stunned, and the subordinate who spoke before seemed to remember something.
"He seems to be ......"
