As soon as I got out of the car, I saw a lot of people from the criminal police team, all standing at the gate of the funeral home.

The middle-sized and mild-faced man about fifty years old is Lao Wang, who is squatting on the ground smoking at the moment, and the light of the cigarette butt flickering on and off, reflecting his face is particularly gloomy. I understand his feelings very well, Lao Wang is not a professional old criminal investigator, he was originally in charge of logistics, only because the last old criminal investigator retired, and the criminal police team lacked an old and stable person for the finale, so he was transferred to the criminal police team to hang a position similar to the rank of political commissar.

This can be regarded as the care of the organization, after all, Lao Wang will retire in a few years, and he will be plated with qualifications when he goes to the criminal police team, and he can also have a good treatment when he retires. Who would have thought that Linhai City, which has always had excellent public security, has had strange murders one after another, and everyone will be happy if they are solved, and their retirement qualifications will be even more dazzling.

Constantly sitting, squatting down and getting up, the body is as strong as a bodybuilding coach, and he is a hot-blooded new policeman who can't be idle all the time and has a strong sense of justice. According to Datou, he is still a little related to the captain Zhou Buun, but he is definitely not a criminal police team that entered through the back door, and he is an honor student who graduated from the Police Academy.

Guan Lin, who wears a pair of eyes and a beautiful face of about 30, is a very serious and careful worker, similar to the role of a confidant big sister in the criminal police team, and is also the deputy captain of the criminal police team. At this moment, she was comforting Xiaomi in a soft voice, and this lovely girl was crying because of fear, holding her arms.

The big head stood next to Zhou Buun, frowning and looking upset and irritable. As the captain of the team, Zhou Bulu was quite calm, and he couldn't see too many emotional fluctuations on his face, but when he saw the forensic doctor Qi Qian, he was obviously relieved, and nodded with a rare smile.

I walked over to the crowd and looked around and asked, "Why are you all here?" ”

The reason why I ask this is because it is unreasonable. Even in a major homicide, the criminal police team will leave the personnel on duty and will not all be out of the scene.

It was Lao Wang who answered me, and he stood up and explained with a heart: "The leaders above are very dissatisfied with our work and order us to redouble our efforts to solve the case as soon as possible." ”

The implication is that the upper part is under tremendous pressure and can only vent its fire to the criminal police team.

I see that everyone's mood is very heavy, and the mood is not high, so I didn't continue this issue. Instead, it gets straight to the point: "What is the case this time?" ”

Zhou was unwilling to speak: "I'll take the two of you in, and the others will stand by first." ”

After speaking, she took the lead and walked to the funeral home, and Qian Qian followed her casually. I was about to take a step to follow, but I was grabbed by the big head.

"How did you end up with the Ice Girl?"

I don't even need to ask, the ice girl must be referring to Qi Qian. It's just that the atmosphere is too depressing now, so I just whispered and hurriedly replied that it was difficult to say a word, and followed into the door of the funeral home.

It was a big difference from what I imagined, the real funeral hall was spacious and bright, with new bright floor tiles and beautifully decorated lamps overhead. In one corner, there is an area dedicated to the sale of various funeral items, and various slogans similar to Amitabha Buddha in the afterlife are hung on the walls and above.

The entire funeral hall is not only not gloomy and terrifying, on the contrary, it is very lively and noisy at the moment.

A group of emotionally charged people dressed in linen and filial piety gathered a middle-aged man with a shiny face and a short and fat figure in a suit and leather shoes in the middle of the hall, arguing fiercely about something. A few elderly people, because they were too excited, had already sat on the ground and wept mournfully.

The short and fat oily man, while wiping his sweat with a handkerchief, shouted hoarsely: "Oh, what are you doing, you pulled the people here, what does it matter to us, if you want to make trouble, you should go to the hospital to make trouble!" ”

I was amused as soon as I heard his accent, old Xi'er. It's still quite rare to see an old Xi'er in the northeast.

The circle around him was very agitated and noisy, and I could only hear the buzzing but I couldn't hear what they were shouting again. I vaguely heard someone shouting that the funeral home was colluding with the hospital or something.

As soon as the old Xi'er saw us coming in, it was like seeing Guanyin Bodhisattva who saved his life, and he pointed at us and shouted, "The police are there, what do you have to do to go to the police!" ”

A circle of people hula surrounded us again, and my head suddenly became bigger, and I secretly scolded this old Xi'er for having a big bad conscience, this is borrowing us as a shield!

Unexpectedly, Zhou Buunwilling shouted abruptly at this moment: "Don't make any noise, what is noisy, noisy can solve the case!" ”

Not to mention, Zhou was unwilling to be angry, and there was indeed a convincing sense of majesty, and he suppressed the chaotic and noisy scene at once. Of course, according to my analysis, these family members also have the element of bullying Lao Xi'er is a foreigner, and when they encounter Zhou Buunwill, a local snake, their momentum will naturally weaken.

Zhou Bu was very domineering and pointed at the old Xi'er: "You, come here!" Take us to see the corpse again. ”

On the way, I noticed that the passage, ceiling, and corner of the morgue were pasted with similar charms, carved with small Buddha statues that could not be named, and it could be seen that this old Xi'er was very superstitious.

In Lao Xi'er's chatter crying and crying out for grievances, I roughly learned that when the family pulled their relatives to the funeral home in the evening to do the final body arrangement, the staff unexpectedly saw a terrifying scene, and the body was replaced with an unnamed monster! At this time, the relatives of the deceased will definitely quit, and they will insist that the funeral home is the ghost of the funeral home, and let the funeral home be responsible for retrieving the remains of the deceased relatives.

A few doubts immediately rose in my mind, but I didn't ask on the spot, because I couldn't make a conclusion until I had read what kind of horror the plot was.

When I came to the morgue, I first looked around, and the walls were freezers for the remains, six vertical and eight horizontal, with a stone platform in the middle, and the stone wall was carved with a terrifying statue of eighteen layers of hell. The whole room was brightly lit without a trace of sinister feeling, which completely subverted my imagination of the funeral home.

Except for a white cloth covered with a stone platform, the shape of the white cloth bulging underneath, resembling a corpse, nothing else was unusual.

I looked around and said nonchalantly, "This funeral parlor is quite bright, like a hotel." ”

The old Xi'er wiped his sweat and replied with a sad face: "I have invested a lot of money, and this has not been open for a few days, so this happened." Tell me, what is this for? ”

Zhou Bu was a little upset and waved his hand: "Okay, there's nothing for you here, go out." ”

Lao Xi'er nodded dejectedly and left with a sad face.

I came to the stone platform, grabbed the corner of the white cloth, and slowly lifted it, and as soon as I was halfway through it, my face turned pale, and I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

This thing...... Can you still call it human?!

I only felt chills all over my body, even my bone marrow was cold, my hands and feet were weak, and the white cloth slipped from my hands and fell to the ground.

"Ahh

There was a coquettish cry from behind, and then I was pushed away, and Qian Qian came to the stone platform, leaned down and looked at this monster carefully and interestingly.

I can only use the word monster to describe what I see in front of my eyes.

Simply described, this monster is a human head, a dog's body!

The human head can clearly see that it is a child, no more than ten years old, and it is a boy. The body of the dog below the neck is the common yellow-haired soil dog in the Northeast.

The eyes of the child's head were closed, and the expression of the child's face was so frightened that it froze on the face after death.

"What do you think?" Unexpectedly, Zhou was reluctant to consult my opinion.

I took a deep breath and went to the stone platform again, trying to put aside my fear and disgust, and concentrate on finding clues about the monster.

"There is no doubt that the murderer was an excellent surgeon, as can be seen from the sutures of the head, the stitches are very delicate and perfect. But there's one thing that's weird...... Extraordinary....... ”

"It's awkward, isn't it?"

"Hmm."

I nodded suspiciously, the whole corpse gave me a very strange and awkward feeling, I always felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't say it for a while.

Zhou nodded approvingly: "As a new police officer, you are quite qualified, you are very careful to observe, and you are a good material for criminal investigation." ”

I looked at her with some surprise.

Zhou Bu was unwilling to say with a cold face: "Don't look at me like this, I don't like you, but as the captain of the criminal police team, I treat all team members equally at work." ”

I paused for a few seconds before I said slowly, "No, I suddenly figured out what was awkward. ”

"What do you mean?" Zhou asked unwillingly.

I turned around and took a deep breath, trying to suppress the chill that was pouring from deep within me.

"This kid ...... He is alive! ”
