A few of us got together to analyze why the font on Li Chunman's letter was exactly the same as that left by his senior brother.

Li Tao scratched his head and said, is it possible that when they were apprentices and brothers, they practiced a kind of calligraphy? Li Bugou shook his head and denied this inference. His opinion was that it was absolutely impossible, that the fonts might be similar, but the glyphs could not be exactly the same. The words on the letter and the words in the pit are as if they were cut out of a mold. Li Bugou said: "Don't believe it, I learned to paint, and I also have a little study of calligraphy, people in the world are very different, and the font is definitely not exactly the same." Even handwriting experts who specialize in imitating fonts will have flaws and differences when you look closely. ”

I hesitated: "You mean, these two words were written by the same person?" ”

Li Bugou nodded: "There is only one explanation." ”

I looked at the corpse pit and was stunned, and my thoughts were a little unable to keep up: "This letter was written by your grandfather Li Chunman, right?" It won't be fake. ”

Li Tao said: "It shouldn't be faked, because my family knows about my grandfather's letter to my second uncle at that time." When I was a child, my dad used to educate me about it. There is indeed such a letter. ”

"The authenticity of the letter has been confirmed, so what about the message of the so-called senior brother in the corpse pit, could it be that Li Chunman wrote it himself?" I say.

Li Tao's throat gurgled: "This doesn't seem to make sense, my grandfather dug up his own body, and then wrapped his body into zongzi, tied it with a rope, and buried it in the kang...... Finally, write a message, claiming to be your senior brother? Split personality? That's not right either......"

When we discussed, Monk Yuantong did not comment from beginning to end, twisting the Buddha beads with an expressionless face.

Everyone talked about it and looked at him together.

Circle Channel: "Everyone, the key to solving all the mysteries lies in this corpse. Tonight, I'm going to dissect the corpse, junior brother, you give me a hand. ”

I can say yes.

Yuantong asked us to go and rest for the time being, and dissect the corpse at midnight, and then talk about it if there is a problem.

Everyone took a brief rest, but in fact, no one could sleep, so they leaned until midnight and came to the hall together. Noh and Yuantong carried the corpse to the table of the Eight Immortals in the hall, and this Yuantong was really a master of the arts, and used a knife to cut the rope tied to the outside of the corpse.

When we arrived, he was tearing the shroud down with his brother. We couldn't help and watched from the sidelines. There are two layers of linen, and after the outer one is removed, there is another layer inside.

This layer of linen inside is a bit evil, and there are many charms painted on it with cinnabar, which looks bloody and makes people's scalp tingle. Yuantong circled around the corpse twice, and Li Bugou asked him, Master, are these talismans all of them to suppress the corpse?

Yuantong's face was solemn and he did not answer. At this moment, a strange scene suddenly happened, and those cinnabar charms began to fade gradually, as if they had evaporated after touching air.

"Not good!" Yuantong suddenly screamed.

There was an indescribable stench wafting in the air, which made people feel wet, like a rotten mist, not thick, but very disgusting.

The smell was suffocating, Li Tao couldn't stand it, and ran outside to blow the wind.

I asked YTO what was wrong. Circle Channel: "These charms are not for corpse suppression. ”

"What's that?" I asked.

Monk Yuantong said: "These are remnants, and only half of them are painted on the shroud. The purpose of the remnant charm is that as soon as we touch the corpse, the owner of the other half of the charm will know immediately. ”

A few of us looked at each other and said, "Senior brother, it was Senior Brother Li Chunman who buried this corpse, and he now knows that we moved the corpse?" ”

"Yes." Monk Yuantong said: "This person is strange and inexplicable, not to be taken lightly, we must hurry up, otherwise the night will be long and dreamy." ”

He beckoned to hold it, and the two of them used knives to unwrap the shroud inside, revealing the old man's body.

This corpse is indeed evil, and it has been buried for more than 20 years, and it does not rot. In fact, I have also seen non-decomposing corpses, what kind of Mawangdui female corpses broadcast in TV documentaries, those corpses are said to be non-decomposing, but they are not human. And the corpse of the old man in front of him was so lifelike, the pores were all visible, and the joints of the corpse were moved freely.

In a word, this man is not like he is dead, but like he is asleep.

Monk Yuantong opened the corpse's eyeballs and gasped. I watched from the sidelines, and the corpse's eyes were dark gray, as if it had cataracts.

"What's going on?" I asked curiously.

Circular Channel: "The blame is here, this gray eyeball is produced by the corpse without metabolism, and it can only be within a few days after the person dies." That is, judging by the eyeballs alone, the old man will not be dead for more than five days. ”

Li Bugou and Li Tao didn't dare to come over to watch, they listened to the side, and when they heard Yuantong say this, the two almost exploded. Li Tao's face turned pale with fright: "Master, we are all timid, don't scare us." ”

Yuantong glanced at him: "What I'm talking about is decades of experience, don't look at the poor monk as a monk, but he is also a forensic consultant in several provinces and cities, and he has to hire me to do research when he encounters strange problems." I don't have time to laugh with you. ”

"But my grandfather has been dead for more than twenty years." Li Bugou said.

Circle Channel: "I'm just analyzing the phenomenon in front of me. As he spoke, he picked up the scalpel and began to cut it along the neck of the corpse, cutting out two knife marks, one left and one right, and finally gathered on the chest, and then along the chest, all the way to the lower abdomen.

Together, these scars look a bit like a "Y" shape.

After cutting, the skin was about to be lifted, who knew that blood suddenly gushed out along the knife marks, the blood was extremely thick, bright red and bright red, and it flowed out, more and more, and the entire Eight Immortals table was full of blood.

Neng Zhi was shocked: "How is it possible, this person has been dead for twenty years, how can he still shed blood." ”

Monk Yuantong is very experienced, so let everyone not panic, prepared a lot of strips of cloth and cotton in advance, padded under the corpse, and gradually sucked up the blood. When there was no more blood inside, Yuantong grabbed the cut skin and slammed it to both sides, revealing the internal organs.

At this moment, Li Tao was so frightened that he almost fainted, he couldn't stand it anymore, and ran into the yard in a hurry, not daring to come in.

Li Bugou is okay, he is an artist after all, and he still has the psychological ability to bear it, although his whole body is trembling, he still insists on watching.

Yuantong carefully inspected the internal organs, and said suspiciously: "How old is your grandfather?" ”

"I'm in my eighties. I was young. Li Bugou said.

Yuan Channel: "He walked in pain, is there something sick?" ”

Li Bugou thought for a while: "I don't know about this." It seems that he slept and walked at home, but in fact, before he left, he had a premonition and told his family to prepare things for the future. ”

Yuantong said, "Your grandfather has a tumor in his body. ”

"Huh?!" Li Bugou was surprised.

Monk Yuantong said: "And his entire lungs are like being smoked by fire, and his internal organs are moderately burned." There's only one thing that can cause both. ”

"What?" Li Bugou asked.

Monk Yuantong said: "Radiation." ”

As soon as he said these two words, several of us were a little stunned, and even Li Tao in the courtyard came in to listen.

Monk Yuantong continued: "The appearance of internal organ burns and tumors indicate that the person was exposed to a large amount of radioactive material in a short period of time. In fact, he has a terminal illness, but he is too old, the tumor spreads very slowly, and it will take a long time if it breaks out. ”

"How is this possible," Li Tao said: "My grandfather was guarding his house in the countryside, and he never went out to the mountains, so how could he be irradiated by any radioactive material?" ”

Monk Yuantong said: "I can only tell you the results of the pathological analysis, and I don't know what is going on." ”

As we were talking, the flashlight in our hands suddenly flashed a few times, and it went out together, and there was no light in the house, and it suddenly fell into darkness.

Suddenly there was a muffled thunder outside the house, rumbling, as if it was going to rain.

Li Tao was so frightened that he almost lost his pulse, crawled into the house with a roll, and said in horror: "What, how can this be?" ”

Monk Yuantong said: "This corpse is very evil, and it is likely to have become a corpse demon." Senior brother, palm lamp, I'll write the demon suppression scriptures. ”

YTO never uses lighting tools like flashlights, he carries candles with him and only uses natural light. He handed the red wax to Nengji, and after Nengzhi lit it, a faint flame flickered in the room, and several of us appeared in the range of the flames, all of us looking like ghosts.

It was pouring rain outside, Li Tao stood at the door and hugged his shoulders, the wind in the yard blew in, blowing the flames swaying. I hurriedly said, "Li Tao, you close the door." ”

Li Tao agreed, turned around and closed the door. Suddenly, he screamed and sat on the ground still, his legs limp.

We went to see a woman standing in the heavy rain in the courtyard, her figure was blurred, and it seemed that it should be fragrant.
