I nodded and walked into the ice room.

As soon as I entered the door, I felt a fishy smell coming to my face, and when I went up to take a look, I saw that the ground was full of black water, and the fog was swirling on it, and it was steaming, and I could vaguely see some white things floating on the water surface.

Seeing this, I frowned and asked the warden, "Where is He Yaoguang's body?" ”

He leaned over and pointed to his left, "Normally the bodies of prisoners are placed in that place." ”

I looked at the place where he pointed and saw that there was a wall, and I was stunned, and I was very puzzled, so I asked him, "There is nothing there!" ”

He smiled, walked over to me, reached out and knocked on the wall, and said, "The ice room in the prison is generally used to store food, and there are very few corpses placed here, but considering the occasional appearance of dead people in the prison, when this prison was first built, the method of storing the corpses in the wall was used to store the corpses in the wall for testing, in order to separate the food from the corpses. ”

As he spoke, he knocked on the wall a few more times, and his face was happy, "This is it." ”

Watching his movements, I was very puzzled, and when I looked at the place where he had knocked, I found that the place was the same as before, there was nothing but a white wall.

The warden seemed to see my confusion, and did not speak, but knocked a few times around the position, and soon a tiny crack appeared in the wall.

Seeing this, I somewhat understood that the use of this kind of walled inner room in the prison is probably not only to separate food from the corpse, but also to isolate the putrid smell emitted by the corpse.

At that moment, I walked to that position, and with some effort, pulled open something similar to a wall, and saw a corpse exposed, which was lying on its side, wrapped in a plastic bag, and I couldn't see the corpse clearly because of the heavy fog. However, in the lower right corner of the plastic bag, I saw a sign hanging on it, with the word He Yaoguang written on it.

"Xiao Jiu, in your opinion, what should be done with this corpse?" When the warden saw the body being pulled out, he asked me.

"Pull back to the countryside for burial." I replied faintly, and was about to open the plastic bag.

"Wait!" He grabbed my arm, "When He Yaoguang died, his face was a little terrifying, you had better be mentally prepared." ”

I nodded, didn't speak, reached out and pulled open the plastic bag, and saw the head of the corpse exposed, the corpse's face was extraordinarily pale, giving people an inexplicable sense of fear, there was a small bag at the temple of the corpse, the small bag was a little strange, like a sarcoma, to my surprise, the corpse's eyes gave me a very mysterious feeling, as if open, and as if closed, it was difficult to distinguish.

I took a deep breath and pressed it towards the deceased's forehead, feeling a little stiff in my hand, and then opened the deceased's eyes and looked at them, his eyes showed a very strange color, all white, and there were no black clouds in sight.

What's going on? According to a normal corpse, the eyes of the deceased will generally show black pupils, even if the pupils are only a little black, but such all-white eyes are rarely seen, and it can even be said that it is rare to see in ten years.

"Warden!" I turned my head and shouted, "Has anyone ever touched a corpse?" ”

He thought for a moment and explained: "Since He Yaoguang's death, he just asked the forensic doctor to check his body, and he kept it in the ice room until yesterday, when he was taken to the crematorium, and there was a little accident on the way, and other than that, no one touched the body. ”

As he spoke, he saw that my face was not right, and continued: "Is there something wrong? ”

I hummed and expressed the doubts in my heart, "The eyes of the deceased are a little unusual, by the way, what does the forensic doctor say about the corpse?" ”

"Well, it's been a while, you'll have to let me think about it." He scratched the back of his head, "The medical examiner said that he died of blood loss, and there was no problem with all aspects of his body's functions." ”

As soon as I heard this, I was stunned for a moment, I remember that Brother Mouse said that He Yaoguang sharpened the tip of the toothbrush and pierced it through the throat, according to normal circumstances, the respiratory organs of the deceased would be destroyed, resulting in difficulty breathing, so that the cause of death of the deceased should be death due to lack of oxygen, how could it become death due to excessive blood loss?

I think this because if you don't breathe for a few minutes, you will die immediately, and if you bleed, you can last a lot of time.

At this point, I lifted the position of the deceased's jaw slightly, and saw that at the place of the deceased's throat, there was a hideous opening, which was oval-shaped, extremely pale, and there was no trace of blood in sight, and there were some fragments of toothbrushes at the edge of the mouth.

I reached out and pressed the slam, perhaps because of the freezing, it was a bit of a stinging position.

"Warden, didn't you just ask what to do with this corpse? I don't know what I want to do with you? I withdrew my hand and asked the warden.

He looked embarrassed and said, "This... If there is no family member, the prison will come forward and send the deceased to the crematorium for cremation. ”

I was stunned for a moment and asked him, "Why?" ”

"The state has regulations that corpses cannot be hauled at will, otherwise it will be regarded as a violation of the law and will be punished with light and severe circumstances." He explained, and said: "Xiao Jiu, you also know that He Yaoguang's hometown is in Hubei, and it takes at least five or six hours to take the train from us to Hubei, not counting other times in between. ”

Hearing him say this, I thought about it for a while, what he said was not unreasonable, the country strictly prohibits the consignment of corpses, and the possibility of pulling He Yaoguang's body back to Hubei is extremely low.

However, even if the possibility is extremely low, you have to try, otherwise, you can't explain to He Yaoguang, and more importantly, as the Eight Immortals, I know that the deceased is eager to go home, just ask, which deceased doesn't want the leaves to return to their roots?

So, I said to the warden, "Can you find a way to pull He Yaoguang's body back to the countryside, even if it is to carry his body back to Hubei." ”

"Huh?" He was slightly stunned, glanced at me, and asked, "What about after you pull it back?" Who will run the funeral? ”

"Me!" I blurted out.

He smiled and said, "Xiao Jiu, don't forget that you are wearing a guilty body now, and you can't leave the prison at all." ”

Hearing this, I smiled awkwardly, my mind kept thinking about making trouble for He Yaoguang's funeral, and completely forgot that I was still guilty, so I had to say to him: "In your opinion, what should He Yaoguang's body be done?" ”

ps: I'm a little uncomfortable today, and I'll make it up tomorrow, Xiao Jiu's official account is, cbx2561, and there are prototype photos of the characters in the official account.
