Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and there was still no news of Hutu who went out to reconnoitre, and the whole yard was full of dense weeds, which meant that Hutu could appear anywhere, which made me want to go out to find him and not know which direction to go!

I had to wait patiently for five minutes, and the anxiety in my heart unconsciously reached the limit, and I looked left and right to find the direction where Hu Tu left, and was about to follow over to see the situation, when I suddenly heard a "whoosh" sound of breaking the air, and a small pebble flew from the direction of the ancient building!

I was startled and thought I had been discovered, but when I turned around, I saw Hutu standing at the second-floor window waving at me, and the figure I had seen before was gone, and I don't know if he had run away or if he had taken care of it.

"Yu Miao! Come here! ”

Probably thinking that I didn't see him waving, Hutu lowered his voice and shouted, but I was afraid that he would attract the attention of others, so I hurriedly stretched out my hand and waved it twice, and then looked at the position and crawled through the grass towards the ancient building.

The entire ancient building is a wooden structure, and it can be seen that the materials used by the Liu family to build this place are good, and there is still no sign of decay after so many years.

The main entrance of the ancient building was tightly closed and there was no loosening, I was wondering how Hutu got in, and suddenly saw a piece of the bottom of a wooden door not far away that was cut off with a wire saw, revealing a triangular hole, and the dust on the ground still left traces of dragging, which is probably the entrance made by the previous few groups of people.

I listened for a while near the entrance of the cave, and after making sure that there was no ambush inside, I got inside, and on the right hand side of the door was the staircase leading to the second floor, but there were no footprints on the steps, but there was a rope hanging above the steps, one end tied to the beam, and the other end led to the second floor, where I don't know where it was fixed.

The condition of the rope is very new, except for some dust, there are almost no traces of use, it should have been arranged today, I found the logo of the rope on the nylon sleeve of the rope, and found that it was Liu Yunsheng's usual brand of mountaineering rope, so it is obvious who left this rope.

"In a dangerous environment, you will never take the road arranged by others", this sentence Liu Yunsheng has said to me no less than five times, so it seems that he does not fully believe in He Huai, at least he thinks that there is danger in this environment, thinking of this, my heart hanging in my throat is also slightly relaxed.

Hanging upside down on the rope and climbing to the second floor, as soon as I landed, I saw Hutu standing by the window, and at his feet there was a man lying face down on the ground, and I recognized it as one of the seven people my grandfather had brought with me as soon as I looked at the man's clothes.

"What's going on? Did you get it? I walked over and asked softly.

Hutu shook his head and casually picked up a bloodstained wire saw from the windowsill: "When I came, he had been out of breath for a long time, and he hung himself with this thing." ”

When I heard this, I was shocked, and I turned the man over on my toes, and I saw that he had a huge wound on his neck that had been cut by a wire saw, and the blood vessels and nerves were exposed to the air, and only a bit of flesh on the back of his neck was still attached to his head!

Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but feel a chill on my neck, and subconsciously raised my hand and touched my neck and muttered, "What is this person depressing?" Judging by the state of his wound, he must have struggled for a long time before he died. ”

"That's right," said Huttu, softly, pointing to a beam above our heads, "I went up to see the beam, and he struggled on it for at least ten minutes, judging by the sharpness of the saw. "I love to read

I was shocked when I heard this, the average person hangs on the ceiling for more than two minutes and then dies, this guy hangs himself with a wire saw and struggles for more than ten minutes, is it possible that his lung capacity is greater than that of a whale? But even if there is enough lung capacity, the carotid artery will not live for so long after it is cut, right?

Hu Tu looked at my puzzled expression, took a breath and asked in a low voice, "Don't care how he died, let's see if there's anything wrong here." ”

"Something is wrong?" I was stunned for a moment and looked at it, and at first I didn't think anything was wrong, but when I accidentally saw the hideous wound on the corpse's neck, I suddenly moved in my heart and hurriedly said: "Bloodstains!" There is almost no blood here! ”

Half of the corpse's neck was cut off by a wire saw, and it stands to reason that the vicinity of the window should have been sprayed with blood, but now not to mention the blood splatters, I haven't even seen much blood dripping, and even the wounds of the corpse are clean and scary!

After pondering for a moment, I looked at Hu Tu and asked tentatively, "Isn't this the scene of the first crime, he was killed and hung here?" ”

Hu Tu smiled strangely: "If you want me to say that it shouldn't be so complicated, maybe this guy was already a dead man before he hanged himself." ”

I was stunned: "What is the difference between being hung here after being killed and being a dead person before being hanged here?" ”

"What a difference," Hutu said with another strange laugh, squatting down and rolling up the corpse's sleeves, turning the corpse's arm half a circle, pointing to a purple-red patch on the inside of the corpse's big arm and asking, "What do you think this is?" ”

"What else could it be?" I just glanced at it and casually replied.

Hu Tu looked at me and didn't speak, I immediately knew that I had guessed wrong, so I had to squat down and take a closer look, and even reached out and pressed it twice, and then my face became strange, and I slowly raised my head and piled up with Hu Tu's gaze, and asked tentatively in a voice not much bigger than a mosquito: "Is this ...... Lividity? ”

Hutu nodded, and I felt like I was a little out of my head!

Corpse spots are a kind of blood plaque formed on the surface of the body after the blood circulation stops after death, capillary congestion and rupture, but this thing usually appears 2 to 4 hours after the person dies, but I saw this person running up the mountain an hour ago, even if he died immediately after leaving my sight, it shouldn't start to appear corpse spots soon, right?

Before I could figure out what was going on, Hu Tu used a knife to cut all the clothes and pants of the corpse, and after tearing them apart three or two times, I saw large corpse spots on the corpse's torso and legs, looking at the area and number, this person must have maintained a standing posture for at least ten hours after death!

"The corpse spots that have developed to the middle stage can fade by pressing with fingers, and the compression can be removed and restored," Hu Tu said as he stretched out a finger and pressed it on the corpse spots, but there was no sign of fading, he sighed and continued: "The pressure does not fade, the corpse spots of this corpse have been fixed, and the preliminary judgment is that the time of death is at least 24 hours or more!" ”

I heard this and I even wanted to die, it was already difficult for me to accept it for more than ten hours, and now Hutu said that this corpse had been dead for at least 24 hours, although I had seen a lot of living corpses in this industry, but I had been wandering around outside in broad daylight, and I had never heard of corpses that could understand human speech and act according to orders, and I had never heard of them at all!
