Chapter 6 Time of Death
The night was gloomy, there was no moon, and there were a few faint starlight.
In the boys' dormitory building, dormitory 417 is now full of people, their expressions are solemn, although the lights are on in the dormitory, the atmosphere is extremely strange.
A bed by the door, leaning against the wall, is a black picture frame, in front of which there is a small incense burner, curling light smoke fills the frame, and the black and white photo in the frame can still be seen in the blur.
That's Makumasi!
A good young man who was only 20 years old died of overwork, just a week ago. In addition to the memorial service held by the school, the students in the class privately agreed to hold a vigil for Mu Cheng on the night of the soul, and the location was located in his dormitory, 417.
"Okay, since everyone is here, then let me arrange, while it's still early, you have to get things ready." It was the squad leader Xiaoyu who spoke, and she swept the number of people present with a blazing gaze.
pursed his lips, and Lang said: "There are only ten of us who agree to come to the vigil, so everyone may work a little harder, and the girls are more timid, so I and the deputy squad leader Jing'er will be the representatives."
A pretty girl answered, then lowered her gaze to the portrait placed on the bed, and slowly moved away for a long time.
Xiao Yu saw it in his eyes, didn't say much, took out the prepared list and continued: "Chen Kai, responsible for buying incense and candles, Lin Hao, responsible for fruit tribute......" Just read down the list, everyone has a job on hand.
It's just that Ling Feng on the side frowned, a string of work was arranged, and he didn't hear his name until Ling Feng turned his eyes to Xiaoyu, and the latter said: "Ling Feng, I know that you know how to do Taoism, you and I will pick up the talisman paper."
"Huh?" Ling Feng was stunned for a moment.
"Don't, I don't know how to be blessed in the midst of blessings." Chen Kai got up and patted Ling Feng's shoulder, pursed his lips, and said with a slight sourness.
After speaking, they were all about to go out to buy things, and at this time Jing'er spoke: "But, who stays here to keep the spirit?"
"I'll stay here."
The voice came from outside the door, and everyone followed the prestige, Fu Xin stood at the door of the dormitory dressed in black, and what he said was exactly what he said, due to the different classes, Xiaoyu ignored him when they made an appointment.
"I'll stay here to keep the spirit, and you go to work on the rest first." Fu Xin walked into the dormitory, paused in front of the statue, lit three sticks of incense and bowed a few times sincerely.
Everyone nodded silently, didn't say anything, and went out of the dormitory to do their own work.
…
In the cold winter, the howling cold wind pierced through the skin, and Ling Feng couldn't help but shrink his neck and pull up his collar. The school road was very quiet, and there were almost no people, only the sound of their regular footsteps on the bluestone slabs.
I was thinking about returning to the dormitory early, when the figure in front of me suddenly listened to the footsteps.
"What do you think?" Xiaoyu, who was standing in front of him, suddenly asked inexplicably, and even though his tone was suppressed, he could still hear the worry in it.
It seemed that he had waited too long and did not hear the answer of the person behind him, Xiaoyu turned around and faced Ling Feng, who found that Xiaoyu's face was as white as gold paper, but it didn't look like it was frozen, and there was an indescribable melancholy between his eyebrows.
Ling Feng didn't answer and asked, "What's wrong?" Light rain. ”
Xiaoyu shook her head, as if she was recalling something: "I'm talking about Makusei, I want to know, do you see something, please tell me."
Ling Feng's heart was shocked, he didn't expect Xiao Yu to ask such a question, that is to say, Xiao Yu did not believe that the cause of Mu Cheng's death was pure death, or rather, she also knew something.
Although shocked, Ling Feng's face was still calm: "Why do you ask about this, the police have said that he is pure dead, and I have also seen Mu Cheng in the music classroom all week, he..."
"Have you forgotten that my dad was a police officer? Makusei didn't die at all, his death has a great strangeness, Makusei was unjustly killed, this is..."
In the end, Xiaoyu really couldn't say any more, her tears swirled in her eyes, but they never flowed out, and finally whispered: "I'm afraid."
Xiaoyu was suppressing her emotions, which Ling Feng could see, and was silent for a long time before Ling Feng asked, "What do you know?"
Wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, Xiaoyu said a little depressed: "My dad asked me to keep this matter a secret, but I can't bear the fact myself, look at this."
took the phone handed by Xiaoyu, and the screen displayed a photo album, which contained Xiaoyu's selfies and a few images that seemed to have been taken from documents. Ling Feng knew that Xiaoyu would not let him take a selfie, so he immediately opened the file picture, and dense black letters came into view.
Xiaoyu continued: "After Makusei's body was kept in the funeral home for three days, when the forensic doctor extracted the body for autopsy, he found that the body was highly decomposed and bloated."
Ling Feng listened to Xiaoyu's explanation, while looking at the photos on his mobile phone, his eyes swept over the lines of black letters: "It may also be that the freezer in the funeral home is broken, you must know that if the freezer is damaged, it will increase the temperature on the contrary."
Speaking of this, Ling Feng casually flipped through the next photo, and just saw a line of obvious red batches: after forensic identification, the degree of decomposition of the corpse was more than seven days, and the preliminary estimate of the time of death was around 2 o'clock in the morning on December 24, a difference of 162 hours from the actual time of death. The funeral home freezer malfunction has been ruled out.
Then there is the signature seal of the relevant department, and it can be seen from the literal meaning that Makusei has been active in the school for a week, but it is nothing more than a corpse.
Ling Feng was a little incredulous: "According to this situation, Mu Cheng is a person who has already died, but the body is still alive, not even the Lord of Yama..."
He was stunned, and then remembered that this was the First Realm, an extreme place for raising ghosts, where the soul could mutate, let alone a corpse.
"So I hope you can tell me, did you see anything in the music room that day? I remember that you didn't come near Makumako, but you knew he was dead. Speaking of this, Xiaoyu raised her head and looked at Ling Feng with a melancholy gaze, she hoped to get a true answer, not speculation.
Ling Feng "chuckled" in his heart, he handed the phone back to Xiaoyu's hand, closed his lips tightly, and said nothing. Xiaoyu didn't urge, looked at him quietly, and after a long time, he heard Ling Feng say with difficulty: "I saw something unusual, but it's ......"
"Whew~ You may not believe it." Ling Feng let out a heavy breath.
"It's like this, what else can I not believe, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that he will come back, if Makusei is unjustly killed, then he will definitely come back, and it's tonight." Xiaoyu said, and the cold wind blew coldly, burrowing into the placket of the two's clothes, covering with a layer of cold.
Speaking of this, both of them fell silent, and it is indeed far-fetched to say that Makusei is pure death. When they arrived at the music classroom with Mr. Liu that day, Mu Cheng was still playing the piano tune, and then stood up again, showing a weird smile at a few people.
Ling Feng hesitated for a while and said, "Okay, but you have to make sure that you can't leak it out, this matter is very important."
Xiaoyu slapped Ling Feng's chest hard, rolled her eyes and scolded: "Nonsense, what I showed you is not also a top-secret file!" Let's talk about it. ”
"Well, when I got to the music room that day, the moment Makusei fell, I saw a soul body come out. In fact, when a person just dies, the soul will not leave immediately, and I have been paying attention to Makusei's smiling face, when he looks at us, his eyes are not focused. ”
Hearing Ling Feng's words, Xiaoyu bit her lip and waited quietly for the following.
"However, what shocked me the most was the soul body that came out of Makusei's body, it didn't seem to be him, but another person, although I didn't see it, but the figure was obviously different."
Xiaoyu stood up with a "Teng", her body trembled slightly, and she cried out in a lost voice: "How is it possible?"
She just felt a tingling in her scalp!
"So what should we do next?"
Ling Feng didn't tell Xiao Yu about the First Realm, if the latter knew that the whole school was a place for raising ghosts, something might happen, and the matter of the First Realm was too complicated to explain clearly.
After a slight hesitation, Ling Feng continued, "First, these things must not leak out, so as not to cause unnecessary panic."
"Hmm!" Xiaoyu nodded and responded.
"Second, if we want to know the truth, we have to go to the funeral home and investigate in detail, and there will definitely be something that has been left out that is not included in this report."
When Xiaoyu heard that she was going to deal with a highly decomposed corpse, her face was already like gold paper, and her head shook like a wave, which made Ling Feng amused.
glanced at Xiaoyu playfully, and Ling Feng smiled playfully: "Hey, it seems that our squad leader is scared?"
As soon as he heard this, Xiaoyu retorted angrily: "Who said that I was afraid, I would go, who was afraid of whom?" (To be continued.) )
