Chapter 13 Wax Spotting
"Huh?" Yu Xing squinted at the note and glanced behind him silently.
No one passed by.
This killer's note...... Is it updated in real time?
That's interesting, it looks like it's a paranormal deduction game.
However, do you think I don't have any food from you, and it's not as delicious as my own cooking...... Tut.
Yu Xing stuffed the note back into the vegetables, closed the door of the refrigerator as usual, and bent down to open the freezer again.
"If nothing else...... There's got to be a weird thing here to scare me, right? He muttered quietly, starting from the lowest level, and opened the cold drawer expectantly.
Empty.
A large intestine.
A heart.
Yu Xing: "The reserve grain is not qualified......"
In addition to the bottom drawer, there are two organs in the middle and on top, which appear to have been watered at the beginning and tightly wrapped in condensed ice.
Yu Xing took it out and looked at it twice, it was all inactive things, and as soon as the large intestine touched it slightly, the ice shattered and fell straight down.
"Heh, put these things in the fridge, do you think they can interfere with my judgment?" He happily recovered, closed the drawer and closed the refrigerator door, and reached under the faucet to rinse again.
Listening to the sound of water running through his fingers, and the gurgling of the kettle on the side, Yu Xing had another profile of the killer in his mind: the building where the killer is located should be absolutely safe, and there is no need to hide the corpse in a refrigerator.
Looking at the treasure-like jars on the wall in the dissection room, and the vegetables and animal meat on the top floor of the refrigerator, you can see that the killer's attitude towards corpses is "collecting", not "eating".
So these two things in the freezer should be deliberately placed here, wanting him to mistakenly think that the killer eats this, and he is afraid of the killer deep down.
Because people have an instinctive fear of things beyond their understanding, and it just so happens that people are creatures who like to associate things, and they often only need a few hints to make things spread like a spider's web, so as to achieve the goal.
So the conclusion is that this killer seems to want the "doctor" to be defeated from a spiritual level rather than killing the "doctor" directly.
Yu Xing wiped his hands, planning to look through the other cabinets in the kitchen again to see if he could find the digital clues of the combination lock, and at the same time, his mind was not idle:
The killer has a desire to defeat the doctor...... The character is not calm, but in reality, he is afraid of being torn through the disguise of a normal person, so he has developed the habit of patience, and once he has the opportunity, he will do it, which is also mixed with the desire to win, vanity, and even a little fear of the doctor.
"Alas~" Yu Xing sighed inexplicably.
There are too many character weaknesses in the killer.
He only used some simple profiles, that is, to infer his psychological state according to the behavior of the other party, so as to analyze his character, this method is not difficult, but the killer suffers, and every "warning" and fright are like sending him clues.
Since he didn't know if the killer had been spying on him in the form of a ghost, Yu Xing decided not to tell him about this discovery, otherwise, what if the killer was not happy to come.
He is now more curious, what did his role as a doctor do to the killer before he was tied up?
"Ding—"
When he opened the cupboard, Yu Xing moved a little bigger, and the crunch sound of several iron chopsticks hitting each other made him end his mockery of the killer...... Analyze and concentrate on finding clues.
The cabinets are full of common items in the kitchen, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are less salt, and pots and pans are complete.
After flipping through the pages for a while, Yu Xing finally saw "the hope of the whole kitchen" in front of the microwave.
"What is this?"
The microwave oven was electric, and it was bright inside, and a small key could be faintly seen.
At the same time, a note is pressed underneath by a bottle of soy sauce.
Yu Xing pulled out the note and saw the first line read:
[The microwave oven is fake, I never need to eat food between meals, after all, I have so many "fresh" ingredients here~]
"Little pitiful, you also hinted to me that he ate corpses...... Yu Xing felt sorry for the killer for a second, and felt silent for the killer's frightening method out of nothing.
He continued to look down.
[This is actually a safe, the password is three digits, you only need to turn the two buttons of time and temperature to open, inside is the toilet tank key, I left you a surprise~]
[The puzzle is: We in the morgue have cast happy eyes on you, we can sleep for many days, but you can't sleep all night under our gaze, we don't know what you are counting, are you counting sheep?] "One, two, three ......]
[Oops, I forgot to say, you only have three chances, and if you don't succeed three times, this key will be melted by the high temperature, and you won't have a chance to escape, hahahahahaha]
"Oh? Puzzle solving? Yu Xing's gaze stayed on the puzzle given, completely ignoring the schadenfreude of the killer in the last paragraph.
Two seconds later, he approached the two knobs of the microwave oven and looked at them, the knobs were much thinner than normal, and the scales were also very fine, a circle was exactly a hundred scales, and only the numbers were marked on the four scales of 0, 45, 90, and 135.
"Hmm...... Mortuary...... Counting sheep? Yu Xing straightened up, a slight smile appeared in the corners of his slightly upturned eyes, "This kind of word puzzle, isn't it too merciful to give three chances." ”
He looked back and entered the hall with the knife he had taken from the dissecting room.
The hall was still empty, and it was evident that before Yu Xing, or the doctor, woke up, there had been corpses lying on these iron beds, the owners of the organs in the jars in the autopsy room.
I don't know where the body went.
Yu Xing had a careful observation this time, and surveyed the area of the hall with the naked eye through his steps, and the hall was a 20*20 square, exactly 400 square meters.
The iron beds are evenly distributed, spaced about three meters apart, and there are 23 beds in total, except for a few vacancies.
After counting clearly, Yu Xing returned to the kitchen and tapped his fingers on the top end of the microwave oven, making a slight muffled sound.
"Ready-made knowledge, the temperature in the morgue is prescribed at -8 ° C."
He whispered and turned the [Temperature] knob eight scales counterclockwise with his hand.
"In the puzzle, when I can't sleep all night, I don't count sheep, but the number of corpses in the morgue."
【Duration】The knob dials 23 scales clockwise.
"Click."
The lid of the microwave oven popped open a crack, and Yu Xing took out the silver water tank key that was smaller than the normal key.
Carrying the key, Yu Xing didn't waste much time, and went straight to the toilet after leaving the kitchen.
Toilet is a general term, Yu Xing thinks that this place can also be called "laundry room" and "bathroom".
As soon as you walk in, you are greeted by two washing machines placed side by side, followed by a small cloakroom.
There are bath towels and towels hanging in the cupboard, and toiletries such as shower gel, shampoo, and conditioner are placed underneath.
At least the floor was clean, and he was fine walking around the room barefoot.
Pulling open the movable glass door, Yu Xing looked inside, it was the shower room.
The toilet is in the shower, and his target tank, too, is there.
Shaking the key in his hand, Yu Xing walked over unhurriedly.
Thinking about why the water tank would lock the problem is not necessary, he put the key in the lock hole and inserted it, and with a slight turn, the lid opened smoothly.
This water tank is not big, and Yu Xing guessed that there was a high probability that there would be no one head in it, so he was a little curious to see what the so-called surprise was.
There was only one note.
"Hmm......" Yu Xing let out a slightly uncertain monosyllable, as if hesitating to complain about why a killer likes to throw small notes so much.
How old is it, clean these useless!
He glanced at the note.
[The bedroom key was sewn into the human body by me, guess which one it is? Hahahaha...... Go out and enjoy it? 】
Bedchamber? The room that couldn't be opened turned out to be a bedroom, so I really lived here......
Yu Xing was thinking about it, when the bright light above his head suddenly began to flicker and dim as if it had been disturbed by something.
He raised an eyebrow and passed by the cloakroom to the sound of the light bulb, and suddenly, the light went out completely.
His eyes, which were accustomed to light, were suddenly surrounded by darkness, Yu Xing closed his eyes and adapted for a while, quickly adjusted his vision, and glanced outside.
It's not just the toilets that are turned off, but even the hall is not lit, and it looks like someone has pulled the main gate.
He slowed his pace, and when he walked to the washing machine, a small patch of red light appeared in the hall.
The red light was still shaking, and it was easy to identify it as a candle.
"Anyone?"
He squinted, a little farther away, and the outline of a person's head and arms was faintly visible from the red light.
It's just that the man seems to be lying down, and looking at the height, he is lying on an iron bed.
It was an iron bed for corpses.
didn't let Yu Xing observe for too long, and soon, one after another red lights lit up in turn, and Yu Xing silently counted in his heart: 23.
The iron beds that had been empty just now now had a person, or rather, a corpse, lying on each one.
The corpses held red candles in both hands, and the light from the candles was also an eerie red, forming a large "wax spotting" scene in the darkness.
They seem to be sending a signal to Yu Xing:
I hope that there is something wrong with people, and I hope that people are gone.
If you were someone else, you might be frightened by this "underworld" scene for a while, but after seeing it clearly, Yu Xing didn't stop a single step and walked directly towards the nearest iron bed.
He stood barefoot, silently beside a corpse.
It was a male corpse that looked like a teenager, lying upright, decomposed invisibly, with his hands gathered in front of his chest, holding a red candle, and if he didn't pay attention, he might think it was just asleep.
When Yu Xing leaned over slightly to check the status of the corpse, the corpse's closed eyes moved, and suddenly opened, staring at him with a pair of empty eyes.
With this start, the other corpses also opened their eyes one after another, and their heads turned at different angles, casting their eyes at Yu Xing.
As in the puzzle, they were watching him.
But it's different...... The person in the puzzle couldn't sleep all night, but Yu Xing didn't have any waves in his heart, and even slightly hooked the corners of his mouth.
The red light was reflected on his pale skin and loose hospital gown, and his feminine facial features were a little more bewitching and unreal, which inexplicably made people panic.
Under the gaze of more than twenty corpses, with a gentle smile on his face, he touched the hair of the corpse in front of him:
"That's right, I've been wondering where you've been. Corpse carnival, how can you be missing? ”
