Chapter 72 Herbarium No. 3
Quanmin Community
was supposed to be at the appointed time, but Su Yi arrived there early.
Quanmin Community, 25 buildings and 2 units 102.
This is the address he can always write at a certain time.
The building hasn't changed much, the door is still wooden, and half of it has disappeared.
He walked into the hallway, remembering that one day five years ago, he had come and knocked on the door.
But the people inside didn't admit that there was a person named Mengzhen, or even that a young girl lived here.
Su Yi was standing in front of Gate 102 at this time, as confused as five years ago, and he still didn't know where she was.
There were several green wooden mailboxes on the wall, one of which said 102, and the wooden mailbox had a thick layer of dust on it, and a small lock was rusted on it, and it looked like it hadn't been opened for a long time.
The light scattered from outside the corridor made him see in a trance how the dream really opened the lock and won the letter a few years ago, but who would have thought that she would have such a suffering experience in the future.
Su Yi didn't think about it anymore, his thoughts retracted, and he knocked on the door of Yuanyou's house.
The door opened, and Yuanyou was about to go out, when he saw that Su Yi's face was not very good.
"What's wrong? Xiao Su, didn't you sleep well last night? ”
Su Yi shook his head, as if he had something on his mind.
Yuanyou didn't ask any more questions, followed Su Yi out of the corridor and got into his car.
"Have you checked the Xu family? Who are the people now? Where to stay? ”
Xu Ke died unexpectedly in 1993, leaving behind a 12-year-old boy named Xu Junfang and his wife Wang Yaru.
It seems that there is a daughter left by a distant relative, half a year younger than Xu Junfang, called Xu Tielai.
Xu Ke's wife, Wang Yaru, also died in 1994 with breast cancer. When Xu Junfang was just over twelve years old, he had a leg disease and is now in a wheelchair, and her cousin is taking care of him. Su Yi said as he drove.
"If you put it that way, this one is really miserable."
"Yes, their family used to live in Longyuan District, but now they have moved to the specimen exhibition hall."
Yuanyou frowned after hearing this.
"Where did you move?"
"It's just the former specimen exhibition hall! What's wrong? Uncle Yuan? ”
Yuanyou secretly thought, that kind of place used to be used to fiddle with corpses, why did you move there?
"Why did they move there?
I remember that in 1988, it was rented to the Municipal Medical College and the Municipal Public Security Bureau Forensic Joint Anatomy Institute. ”
Su Yi blinked, then thought for a moment.
"Xu Junfang is still in high school, and he is in Beihan No. 3 Middle School, his legs are not very convenient, I guess he wants to be closer to the school, after all, the place where he lived before was too far away and inconvenient.
They shouldn't be too particular about those when they move there, anyway, it's me, I won't think about what the house used to do, I'm not afraid. ”
"This Xu Junfang, do you know what caused his leg?"
"I didn't find this, I'll go for a while, you can ask."
The car soon arrived at the location on the west side of Beihan No. 3 Middle School, which was the original city specimen exhibition hall.
The red building looks out of place with the school building next to it, and at first glance, it looks like you have gone back to the sixties and seventies.
The garden door in front of the building was locked, and Su Yi knocked on the iron door, making enough noise for the people in the building to hear.
After a while, a man came out of it.
"Who are you looking for?" It was a girl who spoke.
"We are from the Public Security Bureau, and we want to investigate."
The sound of the door lock being opened, the door opened.
Su Yi wasn't too surprised, but Xu Tielai was stunned.
She was very surprised to see that it was Su Yi, and then glanced behind him, even more stunned. Then she retracted her gaze to Su Yi.
"Investigate what?"
Su Yi took out his work ID card from his inner pocket, and when he was about to open it for display, he dropped a cropped photo from the ID, which was a girl in a white dress.
Xu Tielai squatted down and picked up the photo, but she was stunned again when she looked at the photo.
Su Yi showed a little embarrassed smile, reached out and took the photo from Xu Tielai's hand, and then stuffed it back behind the document folder.
took out another document, "We are here to investigate Xu Ke, if it is convenient, can we go in and talk?" ”
Xu Tielai seemed to wake up like a dream, and his mood looked a little strange.
Yuanyou saw that something was wrong with this girl in the back, "You knew each other before?" ”
Su Yi scratched his head, "Sort of, I've seen two sides." ”
Xu Tielai took the document and opened it to see that it was a case filing review order and related procedures.
"People are long gone, why investigate?"
"Shall we go in and say? It's not very convenient here, is Xu Junfang there? ”
"He's in school now, come in with me!"
Xu Tielai took them to the hall on the first floor, and then moved down two chairs.
Yuan You looked around the hall and looked into the corridor facing north, while Su Yi also looked over there in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
"If you want to ask anything, ask!" Xu Tielai was cold.
Su Yi opened the notebook and his face became serious.
"Who are you Xu Ke?"
"He's my uncle."
"Does Xu Ke have any other relatives?"
"There shouldn't be any, I'm just a distant relative of him, it doesn't matter if I'm related by blood or not, it's just that my parents died early, so they sent me here to join them."
Su Yi nodded, "Then do you know much about your uncle?" ”
"I didn't have long before he had an accident."
Su Yi looked at his watch, "Then do you know what happened here?" ”
Xu Tielai didn't speak, but the emotions emanating from her body made Su Yi feel that something was wrong, and he raised his head to look at her, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Xu Tielai suddenly sobered up, and his voice was a little weak, "I don't know anything, let's go!" ”
After saying that, she turned around and wanted to leave.
"Do you have the key to the herbarium three? We'd like to go in and check it out. Yuanyou's voice was loud, and there was an echo in this hall.
Su Yi and Xu Tielai were both stunned.
"Whatever you want! The door is unlocked. Xu Tielai didn't seem to want to talk to them anymore.
Su Yi didn't expect that Yuanyou would have this request, he was a little struggling and hesitating in his heart, whether to enter that room or not, he was not mentally prepared for it, and he didn't know how to face it.
Xu Tielai's eyes revealed something that was not easy to detect, glanced at Su Yi's appearance, and turned to go upstairs.
Yuanyou didn't know what happened to Su Yi today, he only felt that his mood was a little abnormal today, and that Xu Tielai had an indescribable feeling, weird.
If he didn't feel wrong, Xu Tielai might know something.
Yuanyou walked into the hallway, which was so dark for some reason, and the window at the top was as if it was not safe. He looked at the signs in each room and walked all the way to the top.
The glimmer of light from the frosted window above him made him see that there was a corridor to his left, but it was pitch black.
He stared in that direction, and for some reason, there was a faint murmuring sound coming from inside.
In the darkness that he couldn't see, there was a cold chill oozing out, and his heart was beating faster, like some monster lurking in it, about to lean out.
"Uncle Yuan, No. 3 is here."
Yuanyou shuddered, and there was some cold sweat on his body at this time.
Su Yi stood close to the stairs, took away the chains of the iron fence door on the side of the staircase, and then pushed the iron fence doors on both sides, and after pushing out a narrow slit, he couldn't push it open.
Yuan You and Su Yi, one after the other, squeezed in, and then came to the door of the No. 3 specimen room.
The seal on the door reads September 10, 1993.
Although Su Yi mustered up his courage, when he walked here, he still couldn't help but have some pictures in his mind, how the three heinous teenagers carried Shen Li into here.
The thought of this made him feel cold.
"Su Yi, what's wrong with you today? Isn't it uncomfortable? ”
Yuanyou noticed that his face was covered in cold sweat, his lips were white, and his hands were clenched tightly.
"It's nothing, Uncle Yuan."
Yuanyou glanced at him again and opened the door of the third specimen room.
Reaching out inside, he couldn't see his five fingers, Yuanyou groped around the side wall for a long time, and with a click, the light turned on.
In the dim light, there were several rows of iron shelves, all of which were glass bottles, and the things soaked in them, Su Yi didn't want to take a closer look.
Most of the inside of these glass bottles are the corpses of babies, of various periods and postures.
Yuanyou didn't feel anything about these specimens, but what shocked him was a large glass jar more than one person tall in the corner.
There was a complete male corpse soaked in this jar, the skin of the corpse was all stripped away, revealing a red muscle texture, bare teeth without lips, eyeballs without eyelid support, bulging out of the eye sockets, a little funny at first glance, but after staring at it for a long time, he would feel horror and even complain, he just stared at the person outside the bottle.
Su Yi stood at the other end of the shelf, he could see what was brewing in the huge bottle from a distance, and his mind was not on these.
From the time Su Yi entered this room, a sense of anger rose from the bottom of his heart.
This ghost place was the scene of the crime, and a feeling of anger filled his body, and for a moment, he even imagined how to tear the three teenagers apart.
But then a sense of powerlessness came up, these people were either dead or missing, where is Shen Wei now.
Yuanyou walked around this room twice, and he saw Su Yi leaning against the wall at the door with his head bowed, not knowing what he was thinking.
He walked over, "This kind of place can really be depressing, let's go!" ”
As soon as they got out of the building, Su Yi suddenly thought of something, he asked Yuanyou to go back to the car first, and he went upstairs to find Xu Tie and make an appointment with Xu Junfang.
Yuanyou answered and walked out of the garden.
Su Yi went up to the second floor, then to the third floor, and in the hall on the third floor, he saw Xu Tielai.
Xu Tielai stood by the window, lonely. She heard someone coming up and turned her head to look.
Su Yi didn't come close to her, and said, "We want to make an appointment with your cousin, how much will he be able to?"
Xu Tie looked out the window and asked coldly, "What do you want to check?"
"I'm going to find someone."
"Who?"
"Her name is Shen Li."
The hall suddenly became quiet, Xu Tielai's back trembled slightly, and his voice was a little strange, "Who is she?" ”
"She's a very important person to me. She's missing, I don't know if she's dead or alive, I must find her. ”
Su Yi vented his emotions a little, but he regretted that he shouldn't have said so much, he didn't understand why, he could say this with Xu Tielai, and between them, there was a feeling that he couldn't say it.
"We'll be here in the next few days, and we want to talk to your cousin, so please tell him about it and let him have some time." Saying that, Su Yi turned around to leave.
"You can't find anything."
Su Yi was stunned, "Why?" ”
"Xu Ke is dead, what's the point of checking it out."
Su Yi didn't speak again, paused, his back looked so stubborn, and he went downstairs.
Yuanyou waited for a long time before he saw Su Yi coming out of the building, his eyes glanced at the window of the building a few times, and found that the girl standing in the window on the third floor was the girl just now, she was watching Su Yi.
And Su Yi's face was still not good-looking, and he walked to the car with a heavy heart.
"Why is it so long?"
"Hmm!" Su Yi was absent-minded.
Yuanyou always felt that Su Yi was very strange today.
"How did you meet this girl?"
"The last time I went to the school to inquire, she went to pick up her cousin, Yuan Huaxing."
"Turning into a star? Do they all know each other? ”
Su Yi thought about it for a moment.
"Xu Junfang is Yuan Huaxing's tablemate."
Yuanyou suddenly became uneasy, frowned, and thought to himself, could things be so coincidental?
Su Yi noticed that Yuan You was a little stunned, and hurriedly asked, "Uncle Yuan, what's wrong?"
Yuanyou looked at the table below and looked up to find that at the school gate not far away, many students were leaving, probably after school at noon.
"Su Yi, go back, I'll go to school to see my daughter."
Su Yi didn't want to ask anything more, and Yuanyou got out of the car and walked to the school gate.
