"Xiao Yang, take this injury!"

I was writing a report when I heard a strong voice from a colleague, and when I looked up, I found Lao Yang standing at my desk with a smile on his face, holding a stack of documents in his hand.

I looked at Dali, and he was leisurely looking at his phone, without even raising his head.

I took the document very dissatisfied, Lao Yang patted me on the shoulder, gave me a sympathetic look, and then turned to leave.

I am a forensic doctor, and I have been in the unit for less than two years, so I am considered a newcomer. The work has always been conscientious, not procrastinating or prevaricating. And the big one next door is an old fritter, who has been working for seven or eight years, and knows how to be lazy and bully newcomers, but who calls people old!

was angry in his heart, but the phone suddenly rang, and it was the director who answered it.

"Xiao Yang, there is a case, you come to the scene with the car! Hurry up..."

"Director, I just received an urgent injury exam," I said busily, glancing at the strong man on the other side, snickering in my heart.

"That's right," the director said and hung up the phone. After a while, Dali's cell phone rang, and after a few words, he began to put on his uniform slowly. I pretended to be engrossed in the papers, and caught a glimpse of him leaving the office.

I smirked and went back to work.

……

In the evening, Dali returned to the office from the scene of the crime. I just came back from delivering the papers, only to see that his face was a little pale, and he was holding a teacup in a daze.

I feel a little strange, he usually looks like a hanger, how did he come back like this when he came back from a case? No matter how you say it, he is an old forensic doctor, and he has never seen any battles, even if it is a case of peeling and shredding corpses, I haven't seen him frown.

"You say...", he stared out the window in a daze, and he didn't know if he was talking to me or talking to himself: "Are there aliens in this world?" ”

I felt inexplicable and didn't know how to answer, but I stood up vigorously: "I'm going to dissect tomorrow morning, and there is a document on the table for you to send to the Criminal Investigation Bureau." ”

"Just know what you call the shots," I muttered.

……

The next day, Dali didn't come to the office, and the director was not there, so I was busy alone, but I was also very comfortable.

It wasn't until he was about to get off work that he suddenly received a strong phone call, and his voice on the phone was extremely tired: "Xiao Yang, I'll invite you to dinner after work!" I have something to tell you, we'll see you at Tiegui Li Casserole Rice. ”

It's really the sun is coming out in the west, and this old fritter has never invited me to dinner since we met. Let's see what he's up to.

……

When I arrived at Tie Guan Li, I saw Dali waiting for me at the door. "You're here!" Dali looked very tired: "Let's go in, I've ordered everything"

The two of us ate in silence for a while, and I couldn't help but ask, "Is there something you want to tell me?" ”

The hand that vigorously picked up the vegetables paused, he put down his chopsticks, hesitated for a moment, and then said to me: "Xiao Yang, you know that I had a case yesterday, right?" ”

I nodded: "I heard it was a murder, what's wrong?" ”

"The scene of the crime was on a road on the outskirts of the city, and the driver abandoned the car and ran away. The deceased was a middle-aged man whose identity was unknown. "Tell me vigorously.

"Wait! The driver who caused the accident just run, why abandon the car and run away? Isn't that weird? I asked hurriedly.

Waved his hand vigorously: "This is not the strangest part. The strangest thing—" he said, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he took a sip of his beer, before continuing: "The strangest thing is the corpse! ”

I was puzzled: "What do you mean?" ”

"That corpse is not a human corpse!" Staring at me vigorously, he said slowly.

I was stunned for a moment, then laughed, patted him on the shoulder, and picked up a piece of pork belly and stuffed it into his mouth.

"I know you don't believe me, so I wanted you to help me see the body. Xiao Yang, can you take the time to help me identify it tomorrow and see what it is. Otherwise, I really don't know how to write this report! Dali looked at me with a sincere look.

I saw that he was so serious, not like a joke. He nodded: "This is no problem." But I was very puzzled in my heart, what kind of corpse could make this old forensic doctor doubt life so much, I want to see it!

The next day, I finished my work early and followed vigorously to the dissection room. We changed our clothes, sanitized the poison, and then we went to the autopsy table where the corpse was parked.

It was the body of a middle-aged man, who had been dead for more than 24 hours, but there were almost no visible spots on his body. The fatal injury is in the head, and it is inferred that the person was hit by a car on a hard object such as a stone and died due to heavy bleeding, and obvious bruises and abrasions can be seen in several places on the body, arms, and back. So far, I don't see anything particularly out of the ordinary.

"What's wrong? Because there are no corpse spots? If the victim had hemorrhage and anemia, it is possible that no corpse spots have formed. How about taking a look at the biochemistry report? "I looked at the mighty ones.

"You open his chest and you'll know." Dali looked at the male corpse blankly and replied to me.

I picked up the scissors and cut the thread that I had stitched vigorously yesterday. When I opened the chest cavity of the male corpse with both hands, I was stunned for only two seconds before retracting my hand. Then I looked into the cavity carefully, and once again reached out to check it, and after confirming it again and again, I believe that my expression should be ugly.

"Under the skin, it should be adipose tissue, then deep fascia, then vascular nerves, then muscles... Right? The vigorous on the side muttered.

"That's right." I nodded, but why wasn't this corpse?

Under the skin of this male corpse, where fat should have appeared, a layer of epidermis emerged, and then down there was dermis and subcutaneous tissue, and then down there was epidermis, and the cycle repeatedly, and when it came to the innermost, it was empty, He Ben had no neuromuscular blood vessels, let alone visceral bones. The person is like a cabbage, or rather, like an onion, with no other tissues and organs except the skin, only layers of skin.

"How so?" I looked at Dali, he turned pale and said to me, "Isn't it strange?" I suspect this corpse is fake. But on the surface, you can't tell it's a dummy! These tissues are indeed biological tissues, not plastics, rubbers, etc. What a hell of a life! ”

"You haven't reported it to the top yet, have you?" I asked.

"Of course not, I almost thought I had a nervous disorder, and I was afraid that this was some kind of prank, so I asked you to help me see what was going on." replied vigorously.

"I don't know, it's really weird!" I looked at this strange male corpse.

"When I went to the scene, there was no blood at all, and the man was lying next to a rock on the side of the road, with a big cut of seven or eight centimeters on his head, and there was no blood left. At that time, I felt strange when I looked at the wound, and I was still wondering if it was internal bleeding, but you also saw it, there were no corpse spots at all, and he didn't even have blood vessels! It's a monster! He finished in one breath, and then began to gasp.

"No matter what monster it is, it's dead now, and we can only report it truthfully." I calmed down and said to Dali: "Let's write a report first!" ”

"Why don't you let the director take a look at it again?" Vigorously.

"It's okay, I want him to sign anyway, you can give him a call!" I nodded.

So the two of us walked out of the dissection room together, and after changing our clothes, we called the director vigorously. But the director happened to be on leave today. We discussed it for a while and decided to write a report first and wait for the director to go to work tomorrow and then go to him together.

"Thank you, Xiao Yang, let's go back today!" When it was time to get off work, he said goodbye to me, and I comforted him again and began to pack my things.

……

At night, I lay in bed, thinking about the strange corpse, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Shouldn't this person be as soft as dough without muscular, visceral bones, and all made of skin, and how can he walk upright? Also, how many layers of skin does it have? Is it really an alien?

Suddenly, I thought of a question: since it has so many layers of skin, isn't there another face under its current face? Doesn't this corpse have many faces? Could that be the same face? Or is it...?

Thinking of this, I got goosebumps all over my body, and I couldn't sleep anymore. No, I'll have to give Dali a call and talk about it.

"Dali, I'm sorry to bother you so late. But I just thought of a terrible question that I wanted to discuss with you. As soon as I answered the phone, I couldn't wait.

"I'm in the dissection room" said vigorously: "Xiao Yang, do you want to come?" ”

"Good! You wait for me" I hung up and started getting dressed.
