My name is Lin Yuze, if you divide it from the profession, you can call it a Taoist. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info but not a Taoist priest in the traditional sense, if you really want to say it, you can only be regarded as an onmyoji among them.

To be precise, I'm a corpse keeper.

A corpse keeper is a person who specializes in conceiving corpses.

Raising corpses is a business handed down from ancestors.

When my great-grandfather was young, he learned a lot of skills, such as divination, dragon hunting, stargazing, drawing talismans and reciting spells, including the corpse and ghost raising that I know now.

I just listened to my grandfather say that my great-grandfather thought that raising corpses was too evil and unlucky, so he rarely used them, and later he directly abandoned them.

Later, after that chaotic era, some series of things happened, my great-grandfather was beaten to death, and my great-grandfather's ability was completely broken, but I didn't expect that the corpse scripture that was abandoned by my great-grandfather was inadvertently discovered by my grandfather.

Although I didn't want to study at the time, I couldn't survive the poverty and picked it up again. But less than one-twelfth of the original abilities are left.

It was the remaining "small tricks" that also made my grandfather rich and rich.

The corpse has been slowly passed down to my generation, which is already the fourth generation.

Raising corpses is an unsightly business, and cremation has long been practiced, and gradually, raising corpses has long been left with no soil for survival. As the concept of science has become deeper and deeper, the ancient tradition of raising corpses is on the verge of extinction.

I didn't have any great ambitions in my life, although I didn't like corpse raising, but after all, it was something that was passed down from my ancestors, and I also ate and drank a lot, so I was half-used to it, and it was passed down half-casually.

I thought this was the end of my life.

Guarding the ancestral family business without worrying about food or clothing, and then sitting and waiting for death.

But I never imagined that I would be caught in that extremely dangerous vortex.

It was the night of July 16.

It was a gloomy night, with heavy rain outside.

At about nine o'clock, there was a sudden knock on the door.

I didn't have the habit of going to bed early, so I happened to be studying the autopsy in my study at that time. Although I have already turned over the corpse scripture, I always like to turn it over when I am fine.

It's Fat Zhang, and he's a good friend who I can wear the same pair of pants.

Zhang Fatzi was drenched in the rain all over, and the first thing he said when he saw me was.

"Linzi, it's a big trouble!"

His face was very pale, and his eyes were full of fear, as if he had seen something incredible.

Growing up, I had never seen him like this, as if he had lost his soul.

After pouring him a glass of water, he slowly recounted the whole thing to me, and then I watched a cut video. Based on his description and the footage on the video, I gradually understood the whole story.

Last night, a body inexplicably disappeared from the hospital morgue.

In just one minute.

The body was a young man who had just drowned, probably in his twenties, and was no longer breathing when he was taken to the hospital. After the rescue failed, he was sent directly to the morgue.

Considering that the young man would be taken away directly by his relatives after half an hour, and that it was very late, the morgue caretaker did not care, did not lock the door, and took the time to go to the canteen not far away to have a supper.

And during that time, it happened to thunder and jumped the gate for a minute. When the morgue caretaker returned, the body on the bed was gone.

According to the video that came up, before the power went out, the corpse in the morgue was normal, but in that short minute, the corpse completely disappeared.

Strangely, there was no trace other than a string of footprints left by a corpse on the ground.

The morgue caretaker who remained at the scene was deranged in the corner, howling and muttering words like "ghosts, zombies".

Zhang Fatzi, who was in charge of this case, immediately thought that I had research in this area, so he came directly to me.

Here, I have to introduce this person - Zhang Fatzi.

His name is Zhang Zhiyuan, and his name is good, but he is a fat man who weighs nearly two hundred, so he has a nickname called Zhang Fatzi. I was admitted to the police academy in college, and after I came out, I had some connections in my family, so I became a criminal policeman - the kind that specializes in investigating crimes.

He and I were neighbors when I was a child, and we grew up playing in open crotch pants. Aside from my parents, he was the only one who knew I would raise corpses.

It's only a half-believer.

To be honest, the case is not complicated, it is just that a corpse ran away inexplicably. This is nothing new to me as a researcher of these things.

"How? What's the clue? Isn't it weird? The corpse had completely disappeared within a minute, and there was no trace of it. ”

I was still pondering, Zhang Fatzi was already impatient, and when he saw that I didn't speak for a long time, he came over directly and asked eagerly.

It's just that I think his eyes are weird. In doubt, it seems to be exploring something.

I already have some conclusions in my mind about this matter, but I have doubts about the purpose of Zhang Fatzi's coming to me.

In the past, he had never believed in these things.

"Fat Zhang, don't you think our identities are a little reversed? Obviously, you are the most serious criminal policeman, and you asked me about these things in turn. Besides, you don't have to fool me, what is called no trace, the goose has left a sound, the snake has left a trace, just from the picture there are three strange places, I don't believe you haven't found it. ”

I glared at him and took a puff of my cigarette, a little angry.

"There are rules in the team that you can't reveal secrets casually, but it's different if you find out for yourself." Zhang Fat Man smiled, this person is very cheeky, and there is no embarrassment of being exposed.

When I heard this, I couldn't help but snort.

"Why, if you take out such a key piece of evidence, it won't be considered a violation of the rules, you know, knowing the law and breaking the law, but the crime is added to the first degree, and the suspension investigation is considered light."

"Damn, I have to say yes, this thing just knows it, besides, who is with whom our brothers, we still have to care about this." Seeing that I was more serious, Zhang Fatzi jumped up at that time.

Seeing his anxious look, I smiled.

Seeing that I was joking, Zhang Fat Man also giggled, put his arm around my shoulder, and almost didn't let the water in my teacup spill out.

Zhang Zhiyuan is not a stubborn and rigid good policeman in the traditional sense, in my words, he is sleek like a loach. But it's not inherently bad. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been helping him all the time.

"What the hell did you see, what did you find? Talk to buddy! ”

After Zhang Fatzi smiled, he saw that it was not early, and came over without face or skin.

I didn't speak, but reopened the video and switched to the part where the corpse disappeared.

Seeing this somewhat weird video again, Fat Zhang's face couldn't help but turn a little pale.

I knew he was a little scared, and instead of speaking, he lit a cigarette.

Zhang Fatzi took it tremblingly, took a deep breath, and after a long time, his complexion eased slightly, and then he said cautiously:

"Lin Zi, was that corpse "raised"? ”

Raising, in our industry, is jargon.

The simple meaning is that this corpse has been tampered with.

When I used to chat with Zhang Fatzi, I also mentioned it many times, but he always took my words as a joke.

Now that he has encountered such a strange thing, he can't help but think about it this way.

I shook my head and nodded again.

When the fat man saw me like this, he suddenly became anxious and pushed me.

"What do you mean? Shaking your head and nodding your head again? ”

I sighed.

"Raising corpses, it's really up to you to think about it." I looked at him with disdain.

"You think that raising corpses is selling cabbage on the street, and any person will do it. No one is going to study that thing now, normal people, who has nothing to do with corpses every day! ”

But at this moment, I looked at the face on the screen, and my face gradually became solemn.

"However, this matter is really not simple!"

"What's wrong?"

Fat Zhang's eyes widened.

I pressed the pause button and pointed to a small string of faint watermarks on the steps.

"I don't think you didn't find any traces, and after analysis, it was deduced that the body 'walked' out on its own. That's why you suspect that someone is raising corpses. Speaking of this, I inadvertently stared at each other, and my tone was a little solemn.

"Even, you suspect that I raised the corpse! That's what you're here for."

I stared into the fat man's eyes.
