"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Zhou was unwilling to scold loudly, but he couldn't help but clench his arms and look nervous.

At this time, Qi Qian straightened up and said with a smile: "Unwillingly, you misunderstood, this ......." ”

"My name is Hao Yan." I was the first to emphasize my name, and I always felt that if I didn't do that, she might give me some weird name.

"Ah, yes, rookie police officer Hao Yan." Qi Qian snapped her fingers, circled around the stone platform, and slowly spoke: "Your observation is very keen, I'm afraid it's really as you think." ”

"What dumb riddles are you playing, they all confuse me." Zhou was unwilling to be greatly dissatisfied.

"Let him explain, I'm not available right now." After Qi Qian finished speaking, she opened the box in her hand, took out a pair of surgical gloves and masks, and raised the scalpel casually in front of the two of us.

I patted my forehead and felt a little speechless and dizzy, this woman is amazing!

Even if Zhou was unwilling, he rejected such a scene of face-to-face dissection, and the two of us retreated to the door of the morgue together.

"According to normal people's thinking, this strange corpse should be a dead child's head and a dead dog's body stitched together. Therefore, the strange corpse may seem terrifying, but it is actually not so mysterious. ”

"That's right."

Zhou nodded unwillingly, but I shook my head slowly, my back was cold, and I took a deep breath and slowly spoke.

"But don't you think it's strange? Why is the expression on the child's face so frightened, as if he is alive one second and dies the next? If the child was stitched up with the dog's corpse after death, then his face should have been processed, at least we didn't see any blood on his face, how could his expression before death be preserved so perfectly and realistically in the process of processing! ”

This next week, I was unwilling to understand, gasped, my arms involuntarily hugged tightly, and muttered in horror: "You mean...... The child is alive with a dog body...... Connected together? ”

"Other than that, I can't think of any other reason that would explain the look on the child's face, and...... Why fear and nothing else. ”

"Because he is alive and his consciousness is still very clear, his body has become a dog, so he will ......!"

Speaking of this, Zhou was unwilling to continue talking, reached out to cover his mouth, and made a faint retching sound in his throat.

The vaguely speculated truth brought about the fear of being substantial, and we all lost interest in continuing to explore, and for a time the morgue fell into a deathly silence.

Only Qi Qian's scalpel, the sound of cutting the skin and flesh and peeling off the tendons echoed in the morgue, the sound was not loud, but it was extremely clear and loud in the ears at this time.

This extremely oppressive atmosphere made me feel that I had to say something, or I would be driven crazy by fear. "It's all my guess, actually...... I don't think it's possible to achieve this kind of head transplant technology. ”

"No, you're wrong."

It was Qi Qian who answered me, she reached out and put the white cloth back on the corpse, took off her gloves and mask, and shook her head slightly at the two of us.

In an instant, I seemed to see extreme anger in her eyes. But it's just a blink of an eye, and he returns to a state of cold and incomprehensible expression.

"It is recorded that over the centuries, crazy doctors have recorded several head transplants. However, the experiments are conducted on animals, and most of them are monkeys and gorillas, which are close relatives of humans. A man of this kind who is a master of surgery has successfully transplanted the monkey's head and survived. It's just that this poor monkey can't use his brain to control his new body. ”

"What about the man?" Zhou was unwilling to ask with shortness of breath.

Qian Qian didn't answer immediately, but turned around, silently stared at the white cloth on the stone platform, and slowly spoke: "In the public history records of the world, there has never been a successful case of human head transplantation. However, some wild histories have different accounts. For example, during the Industrial Revolution in Europe, a fierce social critic was assassinated and happened to be encountered by a surgeon who admired his courage. His head was mounted on a device used by a machine to circulate breathing and supply blood, and he survived for several years. ”

I frowned and asked a key question: "Let's not say if it's true or not, but even if I don't know anything about medicine, I still know a common sense." Organ transplantation, blood type matching is the basic basic, and people cannot achieve a perfect match, let alone between humans and animals? ”

Qi Qian shook her head and said a little tiredly: "I first saw this ...... When it comes to strange corpses, I also think that they are grafted after death, and they are just a prank of a psychopath. But just now, based on my years of forensic experience, this poor child not only successfully transplanted into the dog's body, but also survived for at least a week or so, and died within eight hours, and the cause of death was sepsis. ”

"Since it's still a blood problem, how can you survive for a week?" Zhou was unwilling to ask.

"I don't know." Qi Qian's answer was simple and concise.

For a moment, the three of us fell into a deathly silence, fear, incomprehension, and the pervasiveness of the unknown, like a mountain, which made it difficult for people to breathe.

I came to the stone platform again, closed my eyes and took a deep breath slowly, allowing myself to enter a realm without mood swings, which is an ability that I exercised in the army, and it is very effective for analyzing clues and calming my mind. Then, he slowly lifted the white cloth again, leaned down and looked at it carefully.

Zhou Buyi and Qi Qian glanced at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes, but they didn't make a sound and just waited quietly.

The child's hair is thinning, and on the little face of frozen fear, a few old bite marks can be clearly seen, and although the face is clean, there is mud on the side of the ear and cheek. The dog is a very ordinary yellow-haired dog, and there is nothing suspicious about it.

Just as I was about to cover it with a white cloth, the corner of my eye flashed, and I couldn't help but move, and I reached out to pick up a hair from the child's head and held it under the light to observe it carefully. It is a blonde hair with a soft and smooth character, which gives a feeling of very noble quality.

I didn't say anything, and handed it to Qi Qian. She carefully put the hair into the sealed bag containing the evidence, closed the suitcase, and hurried out of the morgue without saying a word.

Qian Qian came to my side, reached out and patted her shoulder twice, and smiled approvingly at me for the first time: "Good job!" ”

……

The funeral parlor case of strange corpses was caused by an elderly man in his 80s in a certain district, who died of illness in a hospital called Haoxuan in the city, and his family took the body to the funeral parlor for cremation after a simple memorial in the hospital's morgue. According to the usual practice, when the staff did the final sorting of the remains, they found that the old man's body was missing and replaced by a ...... Belch...... Unknown monstrous corpse. The family was naturally angry, and called the police after a fierce dispute with the funeral home, and the simple process of the case was like this.

Because the strange things are too shocking and the specific forensic identification is more time-consuming, the bureau leaders mean to conduct a full external investigation before the forensic evaluation results.

In just a few days, the Linhai City Criminal Police Team, which had not been able to produce a single murder case for three years, went from being able to fart idlely to not even having time to fart, and everyone was working overtime to spin up. The whole team was divided into two, and Datou and I were mainly responsible for the investigation of the cannibalism case in the old staff dormitory, while the others were Zhou Bu Unwilling to lead the team to investigate the strange corpse case.

There are also reasons for my lobbying for this distribution. The strange corpse case is strange and inexplicable, but the truth of the cannibalism case is only known to me and the big head. Naturally, the two of us would like to be able to investigate on our own, which would be much easier to conceal.

Compared with the cannibalism case, the strange corpse case can be investigated with a lot of clues and suspicions, and it needs more manpower, so Zhou Bulu agreed to my proposal without hesitation.

In the following days, I fully felt the hard work of being a criminal policeman, and under the strong pressure of the city's public opinion and leaders at all levels, almost all the members of the criminal police team ate and lived in the office, exchanging clues and information on reports and investigations. The interpersonal network between me and Xu Jianfeng, the big general, went through like a plow, and I was frustrated that there were no clues, and there was no breakthrough to solve the mystery.

In the office, I sat across from the big head, tired, with a book-thick transcript of the visit stacked on the table in front of me. During the visit, Xu Jianfeng was an ordinary person who was honest and did his duty, his parents were originally old workers in the machinery factory, and after retirement, his son Xu Jianfeng took over the class. The machine factory closed down, and his parents died of illness one after another, and now he lives alone.

Xu Jianfeng, who is known to his friends and relatives, is honestly overdone, and when others kick and spit on his face, he just walks away silently with his hand. Just because he is too honest and too cowardly, so that he has not found a daughter-in-law until now, he has been single for decades, and he is often ridiculed by the people around him, and his relatives also dislike him and are unwilling to interact.

"This fart is a stuffy, is it what we saw that night?" The big head slapped the interview transcript and asked me irritably.

It's just the two of us in the office, so we don't have to worry about being heard. I pinched my eyebrows to lift my spirits, and replied angrily: "What do you say!" Unless we both sleepwalked that night, we both became fucking insane, and all we saw were hallucinations! ”

"!"

The big head slammed his fist on the table, pulled out a cigarette and inhaled in frustration. Both of us knew very well that the horrific scene we saw that night was definitely not a hallucination, but this powerlessness that could not be started was indeed excruciating, and it made people feel upset and irritable.

At this moment, Da Zhou walked in from outside the door, and I couldn't help but move, it seemed that it was time to use that clue.

"Da Zhou, come here." I waved to him.

"Yo, Brother Hao, Brother Peng, the two of you are resting." Da Zhou walked over and laughed and teased.

The big head was already on fire, and he was on fire at one point: "Don't talk nonsense, Lao Tzu just came back from outside, and it's not okay to smoke a cigarette!" ”

Da Zhou laughed and said: "What's the matter, I'm kind, His Majesty the Martial Emperor will be back in a while, if you see the two of you drinking tea and smoking a small cigarette...... Hehe. ”

One sentence choked the big head, his face turned dark, and he snuffed out the cigarette in his hand with a sullen breath.

I said, "Don't talk about it, let me ask you, when you visited Brother Wang's mother and son, was there anything unusual?" ”

Da Zhou was stunned: "What? Who is Big Brother Wang? Is it the neighbor next to Brother Peng's house? ”

"Your uncle, your neighbor's surname is Wang." The big head kicked Da Zhou's buttocks, and said angrily: "Don't talk about calves, this is a serious matter." ”

"I really don't know what Brother Wang is!" Da Zhou covered his buttocks, his face full of grievances.

"Xu Jianfeng's neighbor lives upstairs in his house, you don't know the transcript you made a few days ago!"

"Oh, two big brothers, there is no surname Wang upstairs in Xu Jianfeng's house, I really haven't made a record of any mother and son! I swear! ”

Da Zhou raised his hand to the sky with a sincere face and swore that Big Head and I looked at each other in dismay, a trace of cold chill spread around the two of us, and we couldn't help but sit back in the chair at the same time.
