Seeing this, Lian Mingche patted me on the shoulder: "See, you, it's just that the mental pressure is too great, and you have already been asked..."

I couldn't hear what he said later, my mind was full of the terrifying scene of last night and the strange corpse cocoon in front of me, and finally Lian Mingche helped me to the side and said to those people, "Why hasn't the forensic doctor arrived yet?" ”

This is a normal procedure, and usually this kind of ownerless river drifter must first do an autopsy to determine whether he killed or committed suicide.

The little policeman next to him frowned when he saw Lian Mingche, and hurriedly said: "Early, I will notify you in the morning, I heard that the director personally invited me back, it's very powerful, but I don't know the rules very well."

We waited like this for nearly an hour, but there was still no figure, and even Mingche looked at his watch a few times, and finally said impatiently: "Don't wait, you guys get it away for me." ”

The little policemen didn't dare to slack off, so they and a few firefighters began to cut the corpse cocoon with tools, but after tossing for a long time, the thing was still not damaged in the slightest until they were sweating profusely.

"Let me come"

At this moment, a clear voice sounded behind us, and when I looked back, a young man in a denim suit and black sunglasses was standing at the door and grinning at us.

The man looked about my age, walked up to us, said out of the way, and took out an iron box from the bag he was carrying.

Could it be that this is the medical examiner?

Without waiting for us to ask, Black Sunglasses opened the tin box, took out a dagger with a curved pattern of scales, and then shot as fast as lightning, and with a few clicks, the previously hard corpse cocoon was split into several halves like water tofu under his hands.

Everyone present grew their mouths in surprise, and even Ming Chedu's eyes showed a slight vibration, but the black sunglasses didn't care, as if it wasn't a big deal, and he smiled: "See, I will never let you wait in vain." ”

There was a female corpse lying in the corpse cocoon, looking at the skin condition and age, the long hair was attached to the face and the face could not be seen, and after careful identification, it was confirmed that it was the one on the river surface of Kakeji Temple last night.

"It's estimated that it's only about twenty, but it's a pity" "Maybe I can't think of a short-term view" "What do you say is wrapped around her?" ”

Everyone gathered around the female corpse and gossiped, and the black sunglasses divided them into two sides, and said while squatting down to inspect the corpse: "If you don't need to fart, you will make a mess." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the belly of the female corpse and said to me: "There is no mud and sand on the mouth and nose, which means that it is not drowning, and the belly is so big, it should be a fetus, and there is a high possibility of murder." ”

Only then did I notice that the female corpse's belly was high and bulging, and I pressed it a few times with my hand, and found that it was very hard, which means that it must not be because of the seawater, so the female corpse is really pregnant.

What a sin, I sighed.

The forensic doctor got up and clapped his hands, pushed his sunglasses and said to me, "I'm done with my work, contact me when I have something." With that, he handed me a business card, turned around and left.

"It's crazy." Looking at the back of the black sunglasses, Lian Mingche's face turned pale.

I shrugged my shoulders helplessly, this person is indeed a bit of a nobody, but just by virtue of those few moments just now, he does have crazy capital.

"Is Tan Yong awake?" I handed Lian Mingche a cigarette.

Lian Mingche took a few puffs of cigarette and said: "Don't mention it, I don't know what he encountered in the river last night, and he is still unconscious, and what is even stranger is that the doctor examined and found that there were a lot of black threads in his body, I don't know what happened." ”

I frowned after hearing this, and it was the first time I heard that going down to the river to fish for corpses became like this, it couldn't be because of some poison after being caught by sea monkeys, right?

Lian Mingche extinguished the cigarette butt and picked his chin at the female corpse: "Leave him alone, what should I do about this?" ”

"The old rule, send a notice, and call someone to identify the body." After saying that, I put on gloves and brushed away the long hair of the female corpse, and then I found that the female corpse looked very standard, and I don't know if it was because it was under the protection of the corpse cocoon, it had been soaked in the water for so long without swelling.

You must know that the river drifters we usually encounter don't take too long, and basically soak in the Haihe River for a night.

Somehow, the more I looked at the appearance of this female corpse, the more familiar it became, and I always felt as if I had seen it somewhere, Lian Mingche looked at me and stopped, and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

At this time, I suddenly remembered something, rushed back to the office, found a photo in the drawer, and checked it again, and my heart suddenly felt cold.

The person in the photo is the girlfriend of the son of the big boss in Hong Kong, and the two of them both drowned in the ghost crying stream before, and after the last time Lao Huo left, I said that I wanted to help him pay attention to the news, so he put all these photos here with me.

What makes me feel terrible is that the female corpse lying in the morgue at this moment actually looks exactly like the person in the photo!

How is this possible, according to Lao Huo, the bodies of these two people disappeared in the Devil Crying Stream, why did one of them suddenly appear on the river surface of Kakejia Temple?

Maybe because I didn't go back for half a day, even Ming Che came over, and as soon as he entered the house, he saw me sitting on the sofa with a photo in my hand, full of doubts.

"Look at the people up there." I don't know if it was because of fear or anxiety, but my hands were shaking when I handed him the picture.

Lian Mingche took the photo and said, "Isn't this the river drifter parked outside, where did you get the photo?" ”

Originally, I still had the illusion that I didn't rest well so I admitted my mistake, but after Lian Mingche finished speaking, my heart was completely cold, and my mind was chaotic, and I was stunned for a long time before I said with difficulty: "This time something may really have happened." ”

I knew that I would definitely not be able to rely on myself now, so I told me all about the fact that Lao Huo brought a gloomy man to me a few days ago to cry and collect the corpse, as well as the unusual female corpse and my speculation.

Even Ming Che didn't speak for a long time after listening to it, and I knew that it was really difficult for him to accept such an outrageous thing for a while, so I waited quietly by the side, until he finished smoking the eighth cigarette and the room was already full of smoke, and he said: "You mean that this female corpse was originally asked by someone to go to the Ghost Crying Stream to salvage it, but she appeared in the city herself before you could go, right?" ”

I nodded, and Lian Mingche immediately waved his hand resolutely: "Impossible, it must be that you don't know what happened in the middle, or simply that person is lying to you." ”

In fact, what he said is not unreasonable, the two places of Ghost Crying Stream and Kajiasi are separated by hundreds of kilometers, and they are completely opposite directions, no matter how you look at it, there will be no connection between them, not to mention that a corpse will drift over by itself.

However, such an illogical thing happened in front of us.

The two of us discussed for a long time, but we still didn't come up with a reason, and in the end there was no way, Lian Mingche said let me try to contact the people over there first, so I withdrew first, and when I left, I also pulled the corpse cocoon shell away, saying that I wanted to go to the inspection center to find out what it was.

As soon as they left, I was the only one left in the huge river, oh no, and the female corpse in the morgue, thinking of the terrible situation last night, I shivered for no reason, picked up a few big locks and chains on the table and went to lock the morgue tightly, and took the bamboo tube containing the blood toad from the wall and put it directly to the pillow.

After these things were done, I was a little relieved, took out the phone and found Lao Huo's phone number and dialed it.

After the phone was connected, Lao Huo's drunken voice rang out: "Who, who?" ”

I heard deafening music coming from there, and I guess he was in a bar or something, and he wasn't short of drinks.

"I have a letter about what you asked me to do last time, and one of the bodies has been found." I shouted into the phone with my neck pulled, Lao Huo was stunned for a moment, and then shouted happily: "Awesome, I knew it was right to look for you, you wait, I'll tell you in another place." ”

As soon as I guessed, I knew that the Hong Kong businessman must have given him oil and water, otherwise this old guy would not be so active, and he even woke up when he heard that he had found the body.

About half a minute later, there was no loud music on the phone, and the old man asked urgently: "What's the matter, tell me quickly, is it a man or a woman you found?" ”

I told him that it was his girlfriend who found it, and I didn't mention the process in the middle, I just said that someone found it on the river and fished it out, not that I didn't trust Lao Huo, but mainly because he might not believe it if I told him.

After a long time, Lao Huo said: "That's it, Cheng, I'll go to your place tomorrow morning, and I'll talk about it when we meet." ”

"Wait, let me ask you something, was that girl pregnant before she drowned?" I asked the most serious question.

"What do you think, although the two of them are partners, but I heard that this girl is still a yellow flower girl."

Hung up the phone, the corners of my mouth flashed a wry smile, what the hell is this called, people were innocent before drowning, and I got pregnant after stopping for one night, if there is anything I am lonely in this place where birds don't shit all year round, but I can't hold back the rumors that I did dirty things on the female corpse, but your mother will have fun.

The more I thought about it, the more I had a headache, and in the end I simply stopped thinking about it, anyway, no matter what happened, I would wait until tomorrow when the old fire arrived.

This time, because of my experience, I checked that all the doors and windows were closed before I undressed and went to bed, and I fell asleep in a daze.

I don't know how long I slept, but suddenly I heard a burst of footsteps in the haze, and it seemed to come from outside the corridor, I sat up from the bed, and instantly woke up, and crept to the door with the Vedic pestle.

Casting the glass on the door, I saw a vague figure standing outside the hallway, facing my office.
