Book 2: The Bronze Hanging Coffin of the Ba People Chapter 11: The Strange Case of the Ice Corpse
I took a rough look, from the dilapidated and randomly placed tables and chairs in the room, I initially judged that this was an abandoned ordinary office of less than 50 square meters, and the things in the office were basically emptied, except for a table and a few broken chairs, all that was left was dust on the floor, and a few broken cobwebs, and there seemed to be something vaguely pasted on the wall.
Dachangtong also recognized that it was an undercover visitor, pulled my sleeve, and said hesitantly, "Brother...... Dude! Look at it! This...... Isn't this the strong man who stole you? Why are you dying? ”
I shook off Dachangtong's hand, frowned, and responded, "See! Don't be surprised. As he spoke, he walked around the perimeter of the hanging corpse, and after finding nothing suspicious, he looked at Dachangtong who was still puzzled and looked at the hanging corpse and said, "Don't be stupid, hurry!" Hand in hand and get the corpse down to take a look. ”
"What?" Dachangtong looked surprised when he heard this, as if he was afraid that he had heard it wrong, and repeated "get it...... Get him down? This...... I'm afraid it's not good! It's all bad luck. ”
"What nonsense? How can you find clues without examining the corpse? Hurry up, come here. With that, I proceeded to lift the body upward, and with the help of Da Cheongtong, I got the body off the hemp rope.
As soon as the body came, I began to examine it, hoping to find something special. While inspecting the corpse, Da Changtong asked on the side, "Brother! Why did this man hang himself? ”
I checked carefully, ignored him, Dachangtong asked again, I still didn't answer, he had to close his mouth boringly, squatted quietly on the side, like an apprentice and a master to watch me check.
After I checked it, gave him a cigarette and lit it, Dachang asked again, "Brother!" This person committed suicide, why don't you call the police directly and check what Ziyo? ”
I took a deep breath of my cigarette and sighed slowly, "I don't think he's committing suicide, it's like he's killing him!" ”
"He killed?" Dachang seemed to be skeptical and surprised by this response, his eyes widening and he screamed in surprise.
"Hmmm! It was he who killed! I puffed on my cigarette and nodded.
After I replied in a slightly affirmative tone this time, Dachang suddenly got up and asked in a similar tone, "Brother!" Tell me how you knew that this man's death was a homicide, not a suicide. ”
Although I'm not a detective, I have experience after following Lanxin for a while two years ago, so I'm still confident in this kind of rudimentary analysis, and I think I can't be wrong.
However, I didn't directly tell Daechang my opinion, but asked him, "Tell me, what is the difference between suicide and being killed?" ”
Dachangtong may have felt that my question was too simple, so he casually responded, "The former is voluntary, and the latter is forced!" Brother, are you kidding me? ”。
"That's right! Here's the problem, you see the deceased, from his expression, and his body language, it's already telling us that he was killed. As I spoke, my eyes swept the man's corpse again.
"Yes? I look at it! Dachangtong approached as he spoke, and was engrossed in the corpse, and after a while, he saw a little eyebrow and spoke, "Good guy!" It's really ha, if you look at his expression, it's obvious that he is unwilling to die. ”
I smoked a cigarette and prompted Dachangtong to continue to check, and said, "It's not just about expressions, you can take a good look, what's so special about this corpse!" ”
Dachangtong seemed to be happy to learn something from me, and as soon as I said it, he obediently observed it carefully, and soon! When he found the problem, he said excitedly and curiously, "Brother...... Dude! You see, how is this male corpse's fingers clasped up, as if he is grasping something, what is the situation? ”
"Huh! Very simple. As I spoke, the corners of my mouth hooked, and I looked at Dachangtong with a slanted smile, and then suddenly reached out and grabbed his neck.
Dachangtong was suddenly frightened by my action, his eyes widened, and before I could speak, I pushed harder and tighter.
Da Changtong, who was full of fright and panic, began to scratch my clothes and arms with both hands, and he almost completely began to panic, so I took a picture of his expression with my phone, and then let go of the hand that was holding his neck.
You know, this Chongqing people are all quick tempered, Dachangtong is an authentic Chongqing person, how can he stand being bullied by me like this, just when I just let go, he didn't say a word to me and added fists and feet, but Dachangtong has never practiced, and his shots are brute strength, how can he be my opponent, so every punch and kick he makes me easily resolved.
In less than a round before and after, I held him down, and Dachangtong, who was unable to move by me, began to fight a war of words, and he scolded, "Dog baby, you are an ancestor of the day, let you go, Lao Tzu will not believe that you can't kill you, dog baby." ”
Because I was in front of the action and didn't take advantage of it, I still didn't talk back despite Da Cheongtong's scolding, but just showed him the photo I had just taken of Da Cheong Tong facing death, and said, "You calm down first, look at your reaction just now, don't you want to know why the deceased's fingers are all grabbed, the answer is in this picture." ”
After reading the photo, Dachangtong, who was still angry, lost his anger, looked at the photo and suddenly realized, "No wonder! It turned out that the deceased's fingers were grasped because he was struggling before he died. ”
"Exactly!" I let go of Dachangtong, and when I helped him organize his clothes, I apologized and said, "I'm sorry just now." ”
"It's okay! It's okay! Brother, are you teaching in practice? Understand! Understand! Dachangtong seemed to be attracted by the picture, and did not raise his head in response.
After a while, Dachangtong took his mobile phone, pointed to his photo and said to me, "Brother!" You see, this man's face in the face of death is really fucking ugly, and strangely, there are surprised and angry eyes in addition to fear. ”
I took the phone and chuckled, "This expression is because you know me, but you didn't expect me to poison you, that's why you have these expressions." At this point, I lit another cigarette, looked at the corpse as I smoked, and said, "And don't you notice that the expression of the deceased is similar to that in your photo?" Or rather, it's the same! ”
As soon as I said this, Dachang was like a slap in the face, and then I found out that it was indeed the case, and he opened his mouth for a long time in surprise before he said, "Brother, take ...... According to you, this man was also killed by someone he knew? ”
"I'm not sure, it's just my estimate, but nine times out of ten." I should
"Oh! ——" Dachangtong squatted next to me and nodded with a frown, for a while, I suddenly had a feeling of taking apprentices, but I had never thought about such a troublesome thing as accepting apprentices, and besides, I didn't think I was at this level.
Dying is everyone's instinctive reaction, so I concluded that there must be clues left on the fingernails of the deceased, so I checked the nails of the deceased, but to my surprise, there was no residue left in the fingernails of the deceased. Or has it been reasoned with? If it is the latter, it can be seen that the murderer is a thoughtful person.
What makes me even more different is the body of the deceased, his body is actually cold, and it is unusually cold, yes! It's cold, as if it has just been dug out of the snow, which is completely illogical.
Daechangtong may have noticed that my expression was wrong, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"If you touch it, this corpse is unusually cold, which is not logical." I couldn't figure it out.
Dachangtong then touched it, and was very surprised: "Good guy! It's really huh, why is it so icy? Didn't he just die, and it stands to reason that the corpse that just died should still have a residual warmth? ”
"It doesn't matter how long you die, there should be another reason." As I spoke, I examined the corpse again, and this time I accidentally found that there was a special strangulation mark on the neck of the corpse, which was under the hemp rope from which the corpse was hanged, in the shape of a horizontal sum equal to a sign, and when I took off the hemp rope, I still vaguely felt that the artery in the neck of the deceased was beating, but it was very faint, and it came and went.
In order to confirm it, I said to Dachangtong, "Dachangtong, if you touch it, he seems to have a little pulse!" Am I feeling wrong? When I told Da Che Tong, Da Che Tong reached out and touched it, and was surprised, "What a thing!" Then he was silent for a while, and suddenly he seemed to think of something, and then said, "Brother...... Dude! This man isn't dead, is he? ”
I was also startled at first, and then I reacted and said, "Just look at it." So saying, I turned on the light of my mobile phone and took a close picture of the eyes of the deceased, because the pupils of a person will dilate after death and will not shrink when they meet a strong light, as I expected, the pupils of the undercover visitor did not shrink, which means that he is dead.
In order to confirm further, I then checked his heartbeat, which was completely stopped, and the corpse hardened and even slightly blackened, all of which were symptoms of the thirty minutes after the person's death, and from these characteristics indicated that he was dead.
Then it's strange, why does the Darkguard still have a bizarre pulse that seems to be there, and why is the body temperature cold?
At first, I also thought that it was Gu worms, but after I checked before and after, I didn't find the characteristics of Zhong Gu, and I saw a lot of Zhong Gu corpses in the first two years, so I basically didn't look away.
In the face of these unbelievable bizarre doubts, I couldn't give an answer for a while, Dachangtong began to be calm, and his whole body unconsciously began to tremble slightly, and he said in my ear, "Brother, let's go quickly, I said that this place is very evil, and in my opinion, this person is killed by ghosts." ”
Legend has it that this area is often haunted, and I have never seen many strange things here, and I wonder if it is a ghost even if the mysterious dark shadow I just saw is a ghost.
"Ghost!" I couldn't help but start muttering in my heart, "If it is according to the "Hundred Ghosts and Evil Arts", if the ghost asks for his life, there will be a black line on the heavenly spirit cover after death, and there will be a crack in the pupils. "But after I examined it, I didn't find any of these features on the body, so I ruled it out.
"Dude! What do you think? Seeing that I didn't speak for a long time, Dachang pushed me, and then continued, "Let's go, I really can't stay any longer." ”
"If you don't do bad things, you're not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, what's the panic?" As I spoke, I took out my phone and took some photos of the corpse.
"Dude! What are you doing with it? "I don't know if Dachangtong is really scared, or is there another reason? There's already a desire to rush me.
"Get used to it!" I casually replied while taking pictures with my phone in my hand, and after taking the photos, I scanned my gaze around the room again, and finally it was the places on the wall that caught my attention.
After getting closer, you can see that the position of these seemingly sticky things is some paper that has not been completely torn, and the paper that is still on the wall has been completely glued to the wall and slightly yellowed, although these papers have been torn in many places, but it is still not difficult to see that there are dense numbers, but the numbers are not completely accurate, but more precisely, these things are more like some formulas.
Dachangtong was also curious and came over, "Brother! What are these? I shook my head and said, "I don't understand, I've never seen numbers like this, and there are some symbols that look like them." With that, I took out my phone and took a picture.
And Dachangtong, who had already wanted to leave on the side, said, "Brother! You've finished filming what should be filmed and what shouldn't be filmed, let's hurry up and leave now, I can't see this place. ”
"Wait! One more important thing. "Before leaving, I asked Dachangtong to restore the body to its original appearance.
"What? What is he doing with it? Dachang Tong looked at me with a puzzled and unwilling expression.
While I was doing it myself, I said, "Nonsense, is it okay to kill someone and not report the crime?" Is it okay to report the crime and not restore the scene? And Daechang Tong listened and answered with "oh oh" and helped at the same time.
After cleaning up the scene, I ran outside the hydropower station to check the overall environment, but as soon as I arrived downstairs, Dachang Tong stopped me alive and said that he would not let me go. "Dude! You don't go! Don't go, look at this big night, it's dark and dangerous, you're asking for trouble, you want to see, I'll bring you here tomorrow, okay? ”
In the end, under the strong resistance of Dachangtong, I had to give up.
