Chapter 16: Discovery
Ayina saw the child's body lying in the coffin. As Lao Zhang described, the child's death was strange and made the hearts of everyone present tight.
Most of the child's skin is pitted, and many places are deeply sunken. It is worth noting that there are also many dark red spots near each small sunken skin, which at first glance are dense and uncomfortable from the heart.
"He's got his joints out of place." Dai Shikai can be described as a master of art and bold, in the face of such a terrifying corpse, he was not afraid of death and stretched out his hand, pressing and groping on the corpse seriously.
Xu Qing frowned: "This kid died a miserable death. ”
"yes, it's too much." Dai Shikai sighed and continued: "There are no external injuries on the corpse, so ......"
"Did he twist it himself?" Xu Qing took over the conversation.
Dai Shikai nodded, he stared at the corpse in front of him, lost in thought.
Wang Yichen above couldn't stand it anymore, he turned on the flashlight, because it was directly above the coffin, the face of the corpse was always facing him: "I said, there doesn't seem to be any clue, right?" Why don't you two come up quickly, we'll have to rush back before dawn!" ”
Xu Qing looked at the time, and before he knew it, it was already more than two o'clock in the morning, plus there was still time to restore this place to its original state and go down the mountain, they had to rush back around five o'clock, otherwise, it was likely that someone would find their whereabouts.
"Why don't we go first and take a few photos to take back to study." Xu Qing's proposal was echoed by others. He pulled his phone out of his pocket and took some careful pictures of the front of the body. Then, Xu Qing glanced at Dai Shikai hesitantly, and seeing that he was still staring at the corpse in a daze, Xu Qing sighed, endured the fear in his heart, grabbed both sides of the corpse, and prepared to turn him over.
Because of his nervousness, he didn't notice that there were half nails in the coffin while turning over the body. The nail happened to hook on the corpse's clothes, and Xu Qing turned it over like this, only to hear a "hiss", and the pants worn by Wang Hu were scratched a big hole.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Xu Qing was shocked, thinking that they had dug other people's graves and pried the coffin to die, and now they had even broken the clothes worn by the corpse with their hands, if this child really turned into a ghost, I am afraid that no one present would be able to escape.
Xu Qing clumsily lifted the torn pants on the corpse, and at this moment, Dai Shikai suddenly noticed something wrong: "Wait a minute......"
He walked up to Xu Qing, stopped him, and then did something even more excessive - he ripped off the corpse's pants and carefully leaned his head over.
"Wow, what are you doing!" Chu Shuguang and the others above instantly became calm, and as for Dominic, his expression was already more ugly than crying at this time.
However, Dai Shikai ignored the exclamations of his teammates and still stared at the bare skin.
Xu Qing followed his gaze and found that the other party's gaze stayed on a piece of ground near the inside of the child's thigh. And that piece of skin was broken and slightly worn.
Dai Shikai walked to the other side and turned the body over. Sure enough, at the same position on the other thigh, there was also broken skin wear.
"This abrasion is still very new, and it looks like it should only be about a day." Xu Qing also entered the state.
"Well, if you look closely at this scratch mark, it extends from the bottom of the child's buttocks to the thighs, and it looks like it is only seven or eight centimeters long...... Although I don't know if it will have anything to do with his death, I can't let go of any clues. Dai Shikai muttered to himself and took a few photos of the wound with his mobile phone.
After doing this, the two quickly sorted out the corpse's clothes, closed the coffin lid, and crawled out of the pit.
The others breathed a sigh of relief and immediately lifted their shovels and reburied the place.
Seeing that the sky was slightly bright, and the white belly of the oriental fish was gradually revealed, they quickly buried the corpse, and then hurriedly went down the mountain.
"Fortunately, it's summer, and the day dawns early, so it's not so difficult to descend the mountain." Wang Yichen looked at the time, and it was only four o'clock.
"Isn't it, I have to lie down for a while when I go back, this night tossed me to death!" Chu Shuguang said, grabbed the wall and turned back to the courtyard of Lao Zhang's house. And Dai Shikai also held Aina's legs and helped her climb to the wall.
"Stay safe and be light when you jump." He felt that this mission was also difficult for such a smart girl, and he went to the countryside with a disgraced face, not only to climb over the earthen wall, but also to follow his group up and down the mountain in the middle of the night, digging graves and digging the ground.
It's just that although this girl looks squeamish, her performance is not bad, so this time, his attitude towards female teammates is much gentler than before.
"You're ...... too" Aina kicked her legs hard and sat down on the wall, turning her head to look at him before jumping.
Dai Shikai grinned, revealing a mouthful of snow-white teeth: "You underestimate me too much, when I was studying in the past, my brother didn't run over the wall to escape...... Ah, I accidentally said that I leaked my mouth, haha, don't care...... 1, 2, 3, go! ”
After sending Ayina into the courtyard, Dai Shikai also grabbed the wall, exerted his left foot, kicked his leg violently, and stepped up. As he grabbed the wall, straddled it, and then leapt off with a deft leap, a thought raced through his mind. After landing on the ground, he was stunned for a moment, as if he had figured out something.
It's just that the others are already physically and mentally exhausted at this moment, and they don't have the heart to pay attention to his expression.
After saying goodbye to each other, everyone went back to their rooms, changed their dirty clothes, and got ready for a good rest.
And Dai Shikai also plans to recuperate, whether his conjecture is correct or not, he still needs to go to the scene of the corpse to verify it. Not long after Xu Qing and Wang Yichen lay down, they let out a slight snoring sound, and Dai Shikai held his head and stared at the beam above his head for a while.
From the small restaurant in Qixia Town where the mission began, to the dead former owner Jiang Kaiyang, followed by the children of the Li family, and Wang Hu, who died mysteriously yesterday morning...... Dai Shikai relived their encounters and the information they heard in his mind.
He thought it would take at least a day or two to figure it out, but now it seemed that the task was clearer.
Seeing that it was already bright outside the window, and the sunlight was pouring into the room through the window, he also turned over, closed his eyes and fell into a light sleep.
And not long after he fell asleep, a figure suddenly appeared outside the window.
Through the window, I could vaguely see the shadow in front of the window, standing straight in front of the window like a bronze sculpture, staring at the people in the room for a long time......
"Oh, oh, oh-"
It wasn't until the rooster in the backyard made a loud crowing that the dark shadow disappeared out the window.
