Chapter 18: Chasing the Corpse (I)
It can't be such a coincidence, right?!
I was shocked. The hospital I took Huang Long to was the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Sixth Hospital. And, in that hospital, I heard from the doctor that there seemed to be a body sent by the police.
Could it be that Li Sihan's body?
Gotta check it out.
Although the autopsy is over, I can still use the spirit charm to recreate the scene of the body when it died, and if I had seen the murderer before I died, it would be like seeing the sun through the clouds.
This spell is called the Mirror Charm by the Warlock, and by constructing a mirror made of aura, all the information that the deceased came into contact with before death is extracted from the body of the deceased to replicate the last period of the deceased's life.
If the scene of the deceased is really restored through the mirror repetition spell, then it will become easy to catch the murderer.
"Not good!"
I suddenly remembered what the guide had said, and I screamed in my heart.
According to the guide, as soon as the police autopsy is over, Li Sihan's family will transport her body to the crematorium, and at that time, no matter how powerful the mirror repetition spell is, it will not be able to restore what the deceased saw and heard before his death.
"Team Lin, take me to the Sixth Hospital of the city, I want to see Li Sihan's body."
I turned to Lin Guoan and said.
Lin Guoan looked at the anxious look on my face in some surprise, but he didn't say anything, nodded, and motioned for me to go out with him.
"Thank you, Director Qi, Captain Lin and I have to go and see Li Sihan's body to determine how to capture the murderer who killed her. Chu Yun, please send it home. ”
As I walked out, I thanked Qi Lushan. Thanks to Qi Lushan's help, I was able to determine what was attached to Chu Yun's body so quickly.
"Brother Mu, don't worry."
Qi Lushan nodded and sent us to the police car outside the door.
Lin Guoan was not ambiguous, said hello to Qi Lushan casually, and started the car and sped away.
……
Before the car could stop, I rushed out of the car and ran towards the lobby of the hospital.
A general glance at the hospital lobby revealed that the two family members in mourning clothes were no longer in their original locations.
Oops, could it be that they have already sent the bodies to the crematorium?
"Hello, where is the forensic laboratory?"
I panted and ran to the guide and asked breathlessly.
The guide looked at me in some surprise, shook his head, and said apologetically:
"I'm sorry, sir, according to police regulations, forensic laboratories cannot be entered and exited at will."
"I ......"
"I am Lin Guoan, the captain of the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Special Police Brigade, this is my ID, I and this gentleman have urgent matters and need to use the forensic laboratory, please cooperate with the police."
I was just about to argue with the medical examiner when a thick arm handed over a black cowhide police ID, and a majestic voice came from me.
"Sheriff, I'm sorry, but the forensic lab is on the basement floor, next to the hospital morgue."
When the guide saw the certificate, he didn't dare to slack off, and said quickly.
I gave Lin Guoan a grateful look and ran towards the elevator.
The first floor is mainly the morgue and cold room of the hospital, and patients and their families generally do not come to this kind of place except for the staff.
Cold, incandescent lamps scattered in the whitewashed corridors, and the entire corridor appeared empty, except for a few laboratories where figures could be seen.
Lin Guoan and I stood in front of the door marked as the forensic laboratory, and unexpectedly, the forensic doctor, who I thought had been off work, was still busy dissecting the unknown corpse on the operating table.
Could it be that Li Sihan's autopsy is not over yet?
A forensic doctor in a cyan surgical gown and a tightly wrapped head opened the door for us, and Lin Guoan showed the ID he had just taken out and shook it gently in front of the forensic doctor.
The medical examiner nodded and motioned for us to enter.
This is the first time I've been in an operating room, and although it's a little different from a traditional medical operating room, it's very different in structure. The whole room was filled with the smell of disinfectant water, the temperature of the air conditioner was turned on very low, and the bright white operating table, which was already very dazzling, looked quite cold. Several similarly dressed forensic doctors worked silently, scalpels silently cutting through the rough skin of the deceased, announcing the end of the fleshly master's last journey on earth.
"Doctor Yu! I'm Lin Guoan. ”
Lin Guoan shouted towards the operating table, and one of the forensic doctors who was carefully dividing human tissues raised his head as if he had just woken up from a dream, and saw Lin Guoan's rough body, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. He put down the scalpel, said a few words to the assistant beside him, and walked towards us.
Taking off the mask, I realized that the forensic doctor in front of me who faced the corpse every day turned out to be a middle-aged woman with an elegant temperament, although the facial features were mediocre, but the combination was quite comfortable, if the bridge of the nose was higher and the eyes were bigger, it would make people feel a little strange.
"Captain Lin, why are you here?"
Dr. Yu smiled lightly and asked.
"Doctor Yu, this is Mu Shi'an, the comrade specially approved by the director to assist in the investigation of the case," Lin Guoan did not answer, but just introduced, "Xiao Mu, this is Yu Changlin, the chief forensic doctor of our Municipal Bureau." ”
I gently shook Yu Changlin's outstretched Qianqianyu hand as a greeting. Yu Changlin was a little suspicious of my identity, and I was able to let the captain of the city's special police team accompany me personally at such a young age, how much background would be involved.
Lin Guoan didn't care about Yu Changlin's thoughts, and explained:
"Doctor Yu, that's right, we have a case at hand, which is related to the corpse you are examining now."
"Corpses? The autopsy isn't over yet, and you'll have to wait until I'm done with the test to know the results. It's useless to run over in such a hurry. ”
Yu Changlin said a little angrily, I have seen the waiter serve the food, and this is the first time that I have personally come to urge the forensic doctor to perform an autopsy.
"Doctor Yu, you misunderstood, we just want to confirm the identity of the deceased, if it is really the missing person we found in our investigation, we can start an investigation immediately."
I answered.
But what does it mean that the autopsy is not over yet, isn't the autopsy report already issued?
Yu Changlin hesitated, nodded, and said:
"You guys wait here, and I'll show you what I've done."
After speaking, I put on my mask, turned around and walked back to the operating table, picked up a document wrapped in brown paper from the table next to me, handed it to me, and explained:
"This is our initial physical examination of the body, and if it matches the file of the missing person you mentioned, it should be eight or nine."
I thanked Yu Changlin and opened the file.
On the gray paper were several partial photographs of the corpses, a few of which had been circled with a red pen, and some of them were marked with items and reports in delicate fonts. Judging from the photos at the scene, it is indeed the deceased found in some desolate place, which matches the information we have so far.
"The name of the deceased is unknown, male, preliminarily determined to be sudden cardiac death caused by alcohol poisoning, and the estimated time of death is between 0:00 and 2:00 a.m. on September 1......"
Wait a minute? Male? It just happened last night??
This is obviously not the physical body of the female ghost possessed in Chu Yun's body.
I didn't care that the forensic doctor on the operating table was still working, so I stuffed the cowhide document into Lin Guoan's hand, rushed to the operating table, and lifted the white cloth covering the corpse's face.
What caught my eye was not the face of an eighteen-year-old girl, but the face of a middle-aged man with a somewhat sallow color, and the black pupils had spread.
The forensic doctor next to me was a little surprised by my sudden intrusion, stunned for a moment, put down the tools in his hand, and reached out to stop me from moving further. One of them tugged at the corner of my coat and said angrily:
"Comrade, please leave, we are still working."
I shook off his hand, turned my head and shouted at Lin Guoan:
"Team Lin! This is not Li Sihan! ”
Lin Guoan was also a little anxious, rushed to the front of the stage in three steps and two steps, looked at the corpse on the operating table intently, and asked Yu Changlin loudly:
"Dr. Yu, who is this? What about the girl you just tested? ”
Yu Changlin was a little dazed by Lin Guoan's actions and me, and just subconsciously replied:
"This person was just sent by the criminal police team, and said that he was found in a shantytown next to Shenzhen-Hong Kong University. We have already reported the girl you are talking about, and the body has been taken away by the family. ”
"Damn it!" I cursed to myself, then asked, "How long have you been gone?" ”
"It was just shipped away an hour ago."
A forensic doctor beside him replied for Yu Changlin.
You must cast a spell before Li Sihan's body is cremated, otherwise once the corpse is burned, the mirror repetition spell will be like a clever woman facing a rice cook, with no ability but no room to use it, and at that time, if you catch the murderer of Li Sihan, you don't know what year and month it is.
It's not that I don't trust the police, it's just that time is ticking. That Li Sihan's soul is attached to Chu Yun's body, unless she leaves by herself, I don't have the best of both worlds to drive Li Sihan out of her body without hurting Chu Yun, if it is attached for a long time, it will be even more difficult for Chu Yun's soul to regain her body.
Moreover, although Li Sihan's ghost is now hiding in Chu Yun's body, and there is no tendency to be infected by resentment, but after a long time, who will know what happened, the ghost energy carried by the ghost is a great supplement in the eyes of other ghosts, even if Li Sihan does not enter the demon and attracts other powerful ghosts, I have to work hard to solve the problem, which is obviously not what I want to see.
Lin Guoan's face was also full of anxiety, obviously as a people's policeman, he couldn't wait to immediately arrest this murderous demon who did evil and harmed the girl in the flower season.
"Do you know which crematorium they're going to?"
I gritted my teeth and asked the forensic doctors around me, they should be familiar with the crematoriums in Shenzhen and Hong Kong.
"There is only one crematorium in Shenzhen and Hong Kong, in Shawan."
Yu Changlin came back to her senses and replied.
I patted Lin Guoan on the shoulder and ran out.
"Team Lin, chase!"
