Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Golden Retriever
If the sound came from the middle or above the door, I might not think anything of it, but the sound came from the bottom of the door, which made me a little uncomfortable, and I just felt a chill down my spine, and I didn't dare to open the door at all.
The location where this voice came from, even if it was a child's prank, could only be done by lying on the ground, and besides, in the middle of the night, whose child would come to pick on my door to play?
The sound didn't stop this time, and it kept slamming on my door, and I stayed there for a few minutes, until a layer of cold sweat appeared on my body, and then I mustered up the courage to sneak close to the door, and looked out along the cat's eyes, wanting to see what was going on.
The weather tonight is okay, the moon is very big, the moonlight shines in through the window of the corridor, just enough for me to see everything outside the door except below, but unfortunately I looked at it along the cat's eye for a long time, there is no one outside the door at all, and the sound of the door under my feet is ringing one after another, constantly impacting my fragile heart.
What's going on here? Could it really be that someone is lying on my doorstep at this time?
Lying in front of my house in the middle of the night, picking at my door with my fingernails, can a normal person do this? That's when I suddenly remembered a ghost story I had heard before.
The story seems to say that in a morgue somewhere, the morgue keeper secretly cooperated with a certain restaurant to quietly transport the corpse to that restaurant as an ingredient, and that restaurant was also doing a booming business because of this, one day a diner went to this restaurant to eat, always felt that the taste of the meat was a little wrong, went home to rest, in the middle of the night heard someone knocking on the door, but he opened the door several times in a row, and found that there was no one outside the door, he also thought that it must be a prank of a child, so he ignored it.
Later, the next day, the matter of that restaurant was exposed, and the diner realized that the meat he had eaten yesterday that felt wrong was actually human flesh, and he also understood who the person who knocked on the door last night was.
The one who knocks on the door is the owner of the meat he has eaten! The man didn't blink an eye, and came to this diner in the middle of the night to get his meat back!
I seemed to have heard this story from my junior high school classmates, but now I don't know why I think about it again, the more I think about it, the more creepy I feel, I seem to have seen a bloody corpse lying at the door of my house through the door, staring at the dead eyes, gently picking at the door of my house with my fingernails!
Could it be that outside the door is the soul of the owner of the human flesh I ate today, and has come to me to ask for meat? Damn, I've already spit your meat into the noodle restaurant today, you came to me and asked for a hair!
I swear I'm about to go crazy with the piercing sound of the door, I just feel that the blood in my body seems to flow into my brain at this time, and I can't stand it, and I gritted my teeth and pulled the door open to see if it was a ghost who came to me for meat.
When I opened the door, my eyes instantly focused on the location where the sound of the door was heard just now, and I was stunned on the spot when I saw the thing that slammed the door!
Before opening the door, I filled my mind with a lot of images of horrific corpses, and I was sure that I was mentally prepared to see any horrific scenes, but who would have thought that the first thing I saw was a cute puppy!
In fact, this dog is not small, but I also belong to the dog lover, and I recognized at a glance that this is a golden retriever retriever, which looks like it should only be three or four months old, but compared to other dogs, the body size is already very large.
"Oh, it's so cute, come on, come here."
I finally understood why the sound of slamming the door came from so low, and the cat couldn't see anyone's figure in the cat's eyes, it was a cute dog who was emotionally slamming the door, looking at the golden retriever in front of me and constantly wagging its tail, the fear just now disappeared in an instant, I squatted down The golden retriever immediately ran in front of me, I reached out and touched its head, closed the door and turned on the light in the house, looked at the golden retriever carefully, the more I looked at it, the more I liked it.
In fact, I have always wanted to have a dog as a companion, but when I was a courier before, I was too busy to take care of the dog, and I gradually forgot this wish.
I took a closer look at this golden retriever under the light, and found that its coat color is pure gold, and the bone of its paws is very large, and it is a purebred precious golden retriever at first glance, but when I look at it again, this golden retriever is very dirty, and it looks like a stray dog, and no one seems to have adopted it.
"It's strange that you can buy such an expensive dog but abandon it, such a person really has a lot of money and has nowhere to spend it."
Since no one wanted it, then I'm welcome, and it just so happened that I wanted to have a dog, so I took in this golden retriever and named it Diandian.
I took some milk and soaked bread in a small plate, and he wagked his tail at me very obediently, and then he ate it in a big gulp, and soon a full plate of food was eaten, and it seemed that he was indeed very hungry.
Looking at the way it eats, I can't help but wonder a little, there are so many residents here, why did Dian Dian come to my house? It is said that the puppy is very spiritual, and it is estimated that it chose me because it thought I would treat it well.
I made a small nest with unwanted clothes, and I couldn't put it down and played with it for a while, before continuing to go back to bed to sleep, this sleep went straight to eight o'clock in the morning, at this time in the past, I would lie in bed, but today I woke up directly, first gave me and a little bit to get some food, and then took a little bit to take a bath, washed all the muddy water on its body, and dried it with a hair dryer, all of a sudden, the noble temperament of the golden retriever was fully displayed, and it became more and more pleasing.
I was playing with Diandian, when I suddenly heard someone knocking on the door, and when I opened the door, I saw that it was Zhang Qishan.
I wondered why Zhang Qishan came again, and before she could speak to me, she saw Dot-Dot, who was wagging her tail behind me, and her eyes immediately popped up with Venus, and she pushed me away, squatting down and petting Dot-Dot.
"What a cute dog, is this what you raised? Come, let mom hug. ”
I said helplessly: "I only picked it up last night, why did you become its mother?" Anyway, why did you come to me early in the morning? ”
Zhang Qishan and Diandian were so happy that they didn't pay attention to me at all, and I was also helpless, so I went to the toilet to wash up, got dressed, and prepared to go to the police station to find Officer Yang to see if he found anything last night.
"You're going to the police? I'll go too. ”
I wondered, "What are you going to do?" ”
Zhang Qishan said with a look of course: "Of course I helped you investigate the case, you must know that we are partners, haven't you been looking forward to a big case, and now that you finally have it, how can you not have my help?" ”
Zhang Qishan was also present when I discussed the plan against Qiqi with Bai Qi and Officer Yang that day, so she knew what I was going to do next.
"You can go, but explain in advance, I won't be paid to solve the case this time, don't expect to scrape oil and water from me again."
Zhang Qishan said with a look of contempt: "Who said that I was in it for money, I just wanted it for fun, you can invite me to a meal afterwards." ”
In this case, I had no choice but to take Zhang Qishan with me, but when I went out, I saw a little pitiful squatting at the door looking at me, but I didn't dare to come out.
When we arrived at the police station, it was already more than nine o'clock and almost ten o'clock, we went directly to Officer Yang's office, knocked lightly on the door, walked in to take a look, and found Officer Yang sitting at his desk rubbing his temples, and the heavy dark circles under his eyes indicated that he must have not slept all night last night.
"Ji Wen, you're here, sit."
Officer Yang yawned and beckoned me to sit down, and Zhang Qishan and I sat on the sofa, squatting obediently at the door without making any sound.
Officer Yang first looked at Diandian, then at Zhang Qishan, and finally said to me: "Last night, we interrogated the owner of the noodle restaurant overnight, and all the information he knew was confessed, but it seems that he really doesn't know that the meat is human flesh." ”
When I mentioned last night's incident again, I still felt sick and asked, "Then what did he say?" What is the source of meat? ”
According to his account, the beef purchased this time, that is, the human flesh found at the scene of the crime, was purchased from a mobile butcher, and the butcher drove a tricycle to the door of their store to ask if they wanted beef, and the owner of the noodle shop asked if the price was reasonable, so he directly bought some, and this happened.
"Did the butcher find it?" Now that the source of the meat has been found, it is certain that we will be able to find any more clues.
Officer Yang shook his head and said, "No, but we have asked the owner of the noodle shop to restore the portrait of the butcher according to his memory, and it is estimated that there will be results soon." ”
This disappointed me a little, and I continued to ask, "What about the identity of the deceased?" Did you find it? ”
Officer Yang couldn't laugh or cry, and said, "A ball of acquaintance flesh, how can you find out what the identity of the deceased is?" And even the time of death can not be determined, but it is preliminarily concluded that the deceased should be a woman, the age is unknown, we have posted a notice to see who has disappeared recently, it should be in the next two days, there will be a clue to the identity of the deceased. Besides, Xiao Zhang has already taken some of the deceased's body tissues to Yinchuan City, and with more advanced instruments there, he may be able to find some clues. ”
As he spoke, Officer Yang took out a sealed bag from a drawer containing a small piece of cooked meat with a label that read the word 'female'.
When I saw this piece of meat again, I instinctively retched, and at this moment, Diandian, who had been very well-behaved, suddenly slammed towards Officer Yang's desk and screamed desperately at the piece of meat!
No one expected that the well-behaved Diandian would suddenly have such a strange behavior, but in my heart, there was a strange guess!
