Ye Tianze, perhaps because of the profession of forensic medicine, made his whole person look cold and unsmiling. But man has weaknesses, flaws, and so do he. It would be almost impossible to get words out of his mouth.

Unless there is one case.

That's when he's drunk.

For so many years, I haven't figured out why his wine is so bad when he usually does everything right.

After work, at about half past eight in the evening, I asked him to meet him at a tavern. He seemed to have just left the forensic center, with a thick folder in his hand, and there was still some blood on the folder.

"I really can't drink today, I know what kind of virtue it is to be drunk." Ye Tianze began to refuse as soon as they met.

"You think too much, Lao Ye, I'm not interested in that case. Originally, I was also on vacation recently, did you forget? Looking for you to drink, simply because we haven't been together for too long. ”

"I'm not going to let my guard down." Having said that, he sat down anyway.

I smiled and continued, "You know, I'm getting married, but ...... Herein lies the problem. You say, I'm a big man who actually started to be a little afraid of marriage? Funny, right? I don't know how my life will change from one person to two people. So I wanted to talk to you. Chen Sen is a rough man, this kind of thing, take him, he will only add to the chaos. ”

I made up a casual excuse for drinking, and of course, maybe it was a half-truth.

But in short, my purpose was achieved.

About an hour later, a smile appeared on Ye Tianze's face, a smirk like all drunkards: "So, it's useless for you to worry about these things!" This god has already arranged his fate...... yes......"

"That's right." I nodded and drank the wine in my glass, "Just like today, I thought I was upset about a strange case, but I didn't expect that God would directly help me get rid of this bad thing." I'm really lucky. ”

"You're in luck, I'...... I'm confused......"

"How so?"

"I ......" Ye Tianze was about to speak, but at that moment, his brows were locked, and his originally ruddy face turned pale, as if he thought of something terrifying, "I signed an agreement......

Hearing this, my heart sank, as if I had underestimated this guy's concentration, and I didn't forget to keep the documents confidential when I was drunk.

Fortunately, in the second half of the sentence, he suddenly changed his words: "But I really can't hold it back, you know...... Do you know what the corpses that your team sent today are? ”

"What? Isn't it just a corpse, except for a little more, what's the problem? Oh yes, there's a dried corpse in there, maybe a little troublesome? ”

"What a corpse the hell! I still don't know what it is! ”

I don't know what to say.

I shook my head: "I don't understand." ”

Ye Tianze showed a drunken smile and stretched out a finger to me: "Let me ask you a question, what is this?" Fingers, right? What's in it? ”

"What the hell are you trying to say?"

Ye Tianze put down his hand and approached me: "Those corpses that are not human beings at all, I have never seen them, people have no internal organs, bones, only flesh and flesh." ”

There are no internal organs, I know, Chen Sen said it when he narrated the message to me.

But what does it mean that there are no bones?

"Understand, if it weren't for the fact that the flesh and skin were all real, I suspect that your team got me thirteen inflatable dolls......"

"Was it taken away? Entrails? ”

"No, no, no......" Ye Tianze waved his hand: "The internal organs can be taken away, but the inside of this corpse is long-dead, understand?" It's just that people don't have traces of internal organs at all! Moreover, even if the internal organs can be removed, there are no bones, which is amazing, right? ”

"Isn't that just a puddle of mud?"

Ye Tianze continued to wave his hand: "The flesh of these people is very strange, although I haven't found anything abnormal, and we are normal people, but ...... It's very dense, not like flesh and blood, but ...... It's kind of like an insect exoskeleton, you know? ”

"I don't understand."

"Come, I'll show you the picture...... I'm also concerned about this, and I've signed an agreement, so I'm going to go back and look into it, and here's the anatomy of one of the corpses. The corpses you found were all disemboweled, and there was only this one wound on the body, but after I examined the wounds, guess how this was done? Ye Tianze opened the bloodstained folder, which contained a picture of the dissection of a male corpse, and then he continued: "It's from the inside, torn!" That is, something was in his belly, tore the belly open, and escaped. ”

I'm not a professional forensic doctor, I can't read this picture, it seems to me that it's just a bloody picture.

Ye Tianze's words made me a little suspicious, whether this guy drank too much.

After that we talked about something else, and drank until about twelve o'clock in the evening, when even I was a little drunk.

The experience of the day, last night's dream, gradually became blurred in my memory when I was drunk, and I became more and more suspicious that I was just simple neurotic, and Ye Tianze was also too drunk.

Back home, the small light in the dining room is still on, and Mina is sitting at the table with a plate of fruit in front of her that I don't know how long it has been around.

"I thought you were busy with serious things, and you actually drank until the middle of the night? Zoraku, you can. ”

I want to explain that this is related to the case, but then again, the case has already been taken over by the top, and it seems that it cannot be used as a reason. Then, I fell into an inexplicable argument.

Mina's long nails scratched the fruit on the plate, the rotten juice, down the peel, flowed into the plate, she licked her nails, and then showed a disgusted expression, "I don't know what you've been busy with all day long, the fruit has been sitting for a week, clean it up." ”

With that, Mina went back to the bedroom.

That plate of fruit was really rotten, I didn't find out.

However, this summer, there are really not many insects, and they have not given birth to a single fruit fly after a week......

Pouring out the fruit, I became drunk and sleepy, collapsed on the bed, and gradually lost consciousness. I vaguely heard Mina ask me why I've been so cold lately, and it's about to get married. She also asked me if I didn't love her anymore, and if one day, she suddenly disappeared, as if she was dead, would I desperately go to her and find her.

Eventually, she seemed to tell me that if I wanted to look for her and couldn't find her, I would go where I had lost her in the first place.

These questions are inexplicable, and I'm not sure if it's my dream or not.

Because in the second half of the night, I did have a dream, and the dream was full of corpses, and the western-style building, and some dense black things, like a large desert marching ant, devouring me and the corpses that were chasing me.

In the morning, it was the vibration of my phone that woke me up.

The caller was Chen Sen.

"Hey, that's ...... Early? I answered the phone in a daze, only to find that there was no one around, Mina was not there.

"Where are you now?" Chen Sen's voice was eager and cold.

"Where can I be, at home, in bed, I haven't woken up."

"You're ...... Coming home? ”

"Nonsense, where am I going if I don't go home?"

"Then you wait for me."

After speaking, Chen Sen quickly hung up the phone.

"Huh?"

Why do I find it a little strange and what question is he asking? Listening to his tone, it seems that I am not at home at this time, is it right?
