Chapter 13: Pupils (2)
After discovering that the bloodshot eyeballs had disappeared, a strong sense of uneasiness rose in Shen Xing's heart.
He withdrew his hand and recalled.
It seems that when he approached here just now, the leper dog who rubbed the filth of his pants was near Lin Wanru's corpse, and he also wailed.
Is there any connection between this?
Crash!
At this moment, the bathroom window on the second floor was opened, and one of the residents living on the second floor poked his head out.
Usually because of the smell in this alley, the windows near this side of the downstairs are basically closed, and if there is no abnormal noise, no one will open it to see.
After the man in the window saw Lin Wanru lying on the ground, he saw Shen Xing, who happened to be looking up at him, this guy was so frightened that he immediately retracted his head and closed the window door.
In his mind, he might have witnessed the murder of a late-night butcher who shocked Yungu City by murdering a drunk girl in a bar.
Shen Xing was startled, but fortunately he pinched the arc knife in his hand completely and did not reveal it, otherwise he would be seen holding the "murder weapon", I am afraid that it is really unclear.
After thinking about it, he quickly stood up and left the alley.
Standing at the mouth of the alley and looking left and right, although the street lights on the side of the street were all on, and his vision was very good, he didn't see the leper dog that ran out just now.
No way, quickly return to the community and return to your room on the fourth floor.
He turned on all the lights in the room, didn't move anything, just changed his soiled pants, threw them in the washing machine, and sat on the living room couch waiting for the sheriff to arrive.
Five minutes later, the first group of sheriffs waiting for them was not Xiong Wei, but because they had received a call from the residents downstairs to report the crime.
After Xiong Wei finally arrived with seven or eight people, the first group of sheriffs asked the reason, handed over the case, and then left.
Among the people Xiong Wei brought with him were the female sheriff and two colleagues who were with him during the day, as well as the forensic doctor and the mortuary staff.
Everyone started to get busy, and some people went to check the scene, and the other part went to the alley downstairs to block it, and Shen Xing described Xiong Wei and the female sheriff what happened to him, but concealed the fact that he still had an arc knife with him when he went downstairs to check.
Now that things had happened, and everything was so weird, Shen Xing didn't believe that he could hide from these experienced personnel from the Department of Public Security's homicide team by making up a lie.
As for the broken door edge and the bathroom window, because it was damaged during the struggle, and according to Shen Xing's description, Lin Wanru's body was very strong, so they did not suspect Shen Xing.
Xiong Wei asked, "Mr. Shen, you weren't injured yourself, were you?" ”
Shen Xing shook his head: "Fortunately, it's just that the collar was bitten by Lin Wanru, but it didn't touch the skin." ”
"That's good." Xiong Wei said: "Later, we will have a few other colleagues to take over the case here, and they may ask you some questions, please cooperate at that time." ”
Shen Xing nodded a little stunned and asked, "Can I know what the cause of Lin Wanru's death is?" ”
Xiong Wei and the female sheriff glanced at each other and replied: "At present, according to the conclusion of the forensic doctor, being hit with a blunt force in the back of the head is the main cause of Lin Wanru's death. ”
"That is, are you sure he killed it?!" Shen Xing nodded secretly.
The hollow part of Lin Wanru's head that he saw just now should be a fatal wound from a blunt object.
The two sheriffs did not answer, but apparently acquiesced to his statement.
Shen Xing secretly wondered, since this Lin Wanru was killed by someone, why did that blood pupil appear? And can you control Lin Wanru's corpse?
What is going on with the appearance of this blood pupil?
These questions are so strange that they seem to be unexplainable at the moment.
Xiong Wei and the female sheriff didn't explain much about why Lin Wanru's body moved and came back here, but just said that someone would take over the case and let Shen Xing cooperate.
About an hour later, Xiong Wei and the other sheriffs left, and Lin Wanru's body in the alley downstairs was taken away again, and calm returned to the building.
However, Shen Xing couldn't understand why they didn't block the scene, that is, they didn't block their own home.
I thought about it for a long time, maybe it's because of the particularity of this case to some extent!
That's fine, otherwise I have to go out to live in a small hotel for two days, not to mention the money, I can't use the workbench, I can't carve wood carving, it's very inconvenient.
As for the other group of sheriffs who would come to check on this place soon, Shen Xing suspected that they might be the ones who were specifically responsible for handling this type of case.
Maybe from these people's mouths, they can learn some secrets of the blood pupil and even the fake Hong Bin.
Even though he had guessed that all of this might be related to the ghosts of this world, this suspicion needed to be confirmed.
Of course, Shen Xing couldn't reveal to anyone that he could find out the secrets of these ghosts.
Looking up at the window, it was already dark.
Although no one lives next door to this rental house, the aunt of the upstairs resident is also surnamed Shen, because it was a family five hundred years ago, and she usually chats warmly when she meets Shen Xing.
At this moment, Aunt Shen was lying on the guardrail of the stairs and looking over here.
"Aunt Shen."
After sending off the sheriff, Shen Xing did not close the door of the living room, he squeezed out a smile and called Aunt Shen.
Aunt Shen immediately showed concern on her face, walked over and looked at the house, and then asked, "Xiao Shen, are you okay?" What happened last night? They said someone had fallen from the upper floor. ”
"A female thief accidentally fell into the alley behind the building while stealing something from my house, and has been taken to the hospital by the sheriff."
Shen Xing temporarily told a white lie, if he said that it was Lin Wanru who died during the day on the third floor who ran back last night, I am afraid that Aunt Shen would die on the spot.
Anyway, it was very dark at that time, and even if someone saw Lin Wanru falling, they couldn't see her appearance clearly.
Besides, Lin Wanru wore a floral dress during the day, and the woman who came back at night had been changed into a uniform of the morgue, her hair was also scattered, and her shape was completely changed.
"Ah, a thief! You're not hurt, are you? Aunt Shen was shocked, "No wonder so many sheriffs came over just now." ”
"It's fine." Shen Xing shook his head.
Aunt Shen said: "I'll go to the morning market to buy some fresh vegetables, and buy breakfast by the way, what do you want to eat?" I bought it together. ”
"No need, thank you, auntie!" Shen Xing stretched his waist, "I was woken up at night, and now I want to make up for sleep." ”
Aunt Shen nodded: "It's okay if you're fine, then you have a good rest, I'll cook gnocchi at noon, if you want to eat it, go upstairs directly." ”
After that, he turned around and went downstairs.
Shen Xing closed the door and returned to the bedroom, only to find that the bedroom door had been damaged and could not be closed tightly.
Simply put away the wood carvings and tools on the workbench, and unconsciously pinched the Buddha statue made before going to bed last night with his left hand.
Glancing at Hong Bin's half-body wood carving, after fighting with Lin Wanru's corpse, he experienced a decline in the level of spiritual antibodies, and at this moment Shen Xing really wanted to make up for the antibody level by staring at Hong Bin's wood carving.
But the shadow of that blood pupil appeared in my mind from time to time, and it lingered all the time.
Subconsciously looked at the wood carving of Hong Bin not far away, Shen Xing, whose head was full of bloody shadows, rummaged through the neatly stacked wood next to the workbench.
