Chapter 9: Suspicion
Text: Chapter 9: Suspicions
After waiting for a long time, until five o'clock in the morning, Chen Kai's corpse did not float up again, which couldn't help but make Ling Feng and the others feel weird, with the buoyancy of the water, it was impossible for the corpse to sink to the bottom of the lake without any effect.
"It's so cold, how long are we going to stand?"
Xiaoyu couldn't stand the hunger and cold of the early morning, even though he was still wearing Ling Feng's coat, his body was still trembling, his lips were slightly white, staring at the calm lake, and he didn't see any strange movement in the lake after a night.
"Let's go, it's five o'clock, go to the funeral home first, as for Chen Kai's matter, don't talk about it to others for the time being."
"Ahh Really go to the funeral home? Xiaoyu shouted.
Just looking at the autopsy report had already scared her enough, but this time it was good, Ling Feng directly let her have a close contact with the rotting corpse.
Seeing Xiaoyu's embarrassed expression, Ling Feng felt funny, shook his head and dragged the former's hand, and said while walking outside the school: "Scared? Didn't you swear yesterday that you weren't afraid? ”
"Who, who said I'm scared, isn't it too early, let's go later when it's dawn." was exposed as timid, Xiao Yuqiao blushed, forgot that her hand was still holding in a man's hand, and hurriedly explained.
"It's not early, the funeral home has already opened, and there are fewer people going now, otherwise you still want to see Makusei's corpse?" Ling Feng said as he quickened his pace, and the two of them went straight to the school gate.
And less than a few minutes after they walked away, white bubbles began to bubble up in the lake, rising until they reached the surface of the water before bursting, wafting out a stream of white gas.
Something, just about to come out of the lake. The sound of "grunting" became more and more harsh, and a black shadow floated from the depths of the lake, like a human form, but in the blink of an eye, it disappeared again, and the lake surface returned to calm.
And Ling Feng and Xiaoyu, who didn't know anything about the scene of Youhu, had already come to the door of the funeral home, and the latter listened to Ling Feng's rambling all the way, so he had to go in to register the corpse.
Ling Feng waited at the door for the time being, and walked around boredly, because it was early in the morning, and there were more corpses than living people here, no one cared about him wandering inside.
Walking through the funeral parlor building, there is a path planted with mango trees on the left, the early morning fog obscures Ling Feng's vision, but he can faintly see that in the depths of the alley, there seems to be a fire shaking.
"It's early in the morning, if anyone is here to worship, no, this is not a place to worship the dead."
Muttering, Ling Feng stepped in, the smell of paper ash was blowing in his face, the path was just a partition between the wall and the building, there was no other road in the depths, so Ling Feng was not afraid of disturbing the people in the alley. Even if the other party wants to run, you must face him and get out of it.
Ling Feng soon saw an old man, dressed in blue overalls, with a bamboo sweep on the wall on the side, squatting next to the brazier, his lips squirming and muttering something, while throwing the paper money in his hand into the fire.
At the same time that Ling Feng saw him, the latter also heard the footsteps, turned his head and looked at Ling Feng with a vigilant expression, then got up and took the bamboo sweep on the side, and prepared to leave here.
"That, uncle, I'm sorry to disturb you, in fact, I'm here to explore the corpse, but I'm a little scared and want to hide here to smoke a cigarette." Ling Feng pretended to be scared, and deliberately took out the cigarette that had been prepared for the sake of realism.
Cigarettes are when he went out to buy talisman paper last night, he thought that he was going to come to the funeral home today, if he wanted to inquire about things, he always had something for communication, although Ling Feng did not smoke, but he also knew that cigarettes were an item that could accelerate the friendship between two men.
"Oh, I see." The old man said as he took the cigarette handed by Ling Feng, and the gesture of holding the cigarette was obviously an old smoking gun.
Ling Feng was secretly glad in his heart, he also lit a cigarette on the side, pretended to take a puff, turned his head to the old man and asked, "Uncle, why are you worshipping here early in the morning, eh, I heard that you came here two days ago with a very strange corpse, is it really fake?" ”
The old man took a deep breath of his cigarette and looked a little ugly.
"It seems that you have also heard, that corpse is not strange, but an evil sect, I just took a look at it when I was cleaning it a few days ago, and I thought that something was wrong with that corpse."
"Isn't it, I don't think it's so evil as I've heard." Ling Feng pretended to be ignorant and asked.
The old man glanced at him and continued: "What do you know outside, tell you young man, I have been here for more than ten years, and I am responsible for this sanitation inside and out, including the freezer with frozen corpses, so to speak, I have never seen any corpses." ”
Seeing the look of adoration on Ling Feng's face, the old man continued: "But two days ago, when I came here, I smelled a corpse smell, and there is something that none of you know..."
Speaking of this, the old man's face became very strange, his face was a little distorted and he looked left and right, and when he saw that no one else had come in, he whispered in Ling Feng's ear: "The identity of the corpse is wrong, it is not the identity of the registered one, don't tell it, I know about this matter alone, and it will cause trouble if I say it." ”
Ling Feng was stunned, if it was really as the old man in front of him said, the corpse was someone else, this question would not be so easy to find the answer.
This question was not raised in the autopsy report, which made Ling Feng believe the one-sided words of an old man, and immediately stood up and asked: "Uncle, you won't tease me, can this be fake?" ”
"Believe it or not, tell you, that corpse has two different corpse smells, which is not something that ordinary people can distinguish, and the main reason why corpses decompose is water, the water that comes out of the corpse." After the old man finished speaking, he stepped on the cigarette butt, and when he saw that the brazier was also extinguished, he walked out of the alley without looking back.
Water, Ling Feng remembered that Mu Cheng died in the music classroom, how could there be water in his body, and then he thought that last night, Chen Kai came back full of water, but died in the hidden lake, would there be anything to do with it.
With a full shock, Ling Feng came to the hall, but he didn't see Xiaoyu's figure, and waited for more than ten minutes before he saw the latter hesitantly step out of the registration room.
"Class leader, if you like it here, why don't you move here and live, it takes so long to register?" Ling Feng greeted him, half angry and half joking.
Xiaoyu glanced at Ling Feng: "You think it's so easy to do, Mu Cheng's corpse was listed as a suspicious case, but Miss Ben ran to several places before she got permission to go in and explore the corpse, don't you know what to do, hum!" ”
Looking at Xiao Yu who turned around and walked away with a pout, Ling Feng shook his head and followed, and soon a corpse worker came over to show them the way and walked towards the freezer room where the corpse was parked.
A long corridor and two rows of rooms, if you didn't know that there were corpses lying inside, you would have thought that you had arrived at a four-star hotel.
Ling Feng, who followed behind, looked in through the small glass opening on the door from time to time, but his vision was limited, the room was covered with cold, and he could probably see that it was quite spacious inside, as for how many corpses were parked, it was not very real.
The corpse worker who was walking in front suddenly stopped, and Ling Feng noticed that they had come to the deepest part of the corridor, in front of a large double door, and standing in front of the door, he could feel the cold air exuding from the room, which was much colder than the other rooms.
"Here, go in."
"Ah~ Let's go in by ourselves?" Xiaoyu asked.
The corpse worker stopped his steps and turned around to look at the morgue, his eyes were full of jealousy, as if there was something unusual in it, and he replied lightly: "The corpse worker is not obliged to accompany people to explore the corpse." ”
"Wait!"
It was Ling Feng who spoke, and when he saw the corpse worker move his gaze to him, he continued, "You have to tell us which one it is, right?" ”
"Just one body, just go." After saying that, the corpse worker shook his head and left, seemingly not wanting to stay here for a second.
The corpse worker didn't go far, just slightly away from this morgue, and his eyes were still looking this way, to avoid Ling Feng and Xiaoyu from having an accident here.
Seeing this, Xiaoyu had no choice but to follow Ling Feng into the morgue, looking at the corpse covered with a white cloth, remembering the sound and smile of the classmates who had read together, Ling Feng came to the bed with a heavy heart. With his right hand poked out, he slowly lifted the white sheet, and a strong and pungent smell of formalin came to his face.
Xiaoyu hid behind Ling Feng out of fear, and the latter pulled down the white cloth slip a little.
A rotten face without facial features and skin was bloodily displayed in front of Ling Feng, the skin and flesh bloomed, and the dark red blood clots mixed between the flesh and blood could be seen, sticking to the flesh and skin, hanging down that could not be dropped.
Ling Feng pulled down a little more, and after seeing a body similar to his face, he covered the white cloth sheet in his hand back, swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and the words of the sweeping old man flashed in his mind.
“… The identity of the corpse is wrong... There are two different kinds of corpse stench...", and finally shook his head.
Xiao Yu behind him saw Ling Feng suddenly cover the white cloth sheet back, so he came out from behind him and said, "Have you finished reading it so quickly?" ””
"We're not here to see how he died, but to see if he has any grievances." As he spoke, Ling Feng took out three pillars of cyan incense sticks.
"This is a trial of grievance incense, if he really has a grievance, the incense will be burned into two short and one long, indicating that the ghost has a grievance." After saying that, he lit the incense with the talisman paper, bowed three times to the corpse of Makusei, and then put the incense at the heel.
The two stared at the incense with wide eyes, and a faint light smoke rose, but there was no abnormality in the soul incense, and the two waited for several minutes, and there was still no change.
"No grievances?!" Ling Feng and Xiaoyu, who were not surprised, looked at each other and shouted at the same time.
If there is no grievance, it means that all their guesses are wrong, and this is probably the most difficult answer to accept. (To be continued.) )
