22. Corpses
Mr. Zou was soon where I was pointing, but by the time he came there was nothing, and then he asked me, "What did you just see?" ”
I was about to say something, and then suddenly I saw my dad suddenly come out of the hall, just now I saw them take Xiao Cheng to the hall, and then my dad said, "Mr. Zou, you'd better come to the house and have a look." ”
Mr. Zou looked at my dad and then at me and said, "You come in too." I'm afraid you're in danger outside. ”
I then came into the courtyard, just because I had just seen the appearance and disappearance of this footprint, so I didn't dare to be careless, and I always felt that there were people around, and I said to Mr. Zou during this time when I came in: "I just smelled the smell of rotting corpses you said outside the door." ”
Mr. Zou didn't respond to me, we came to the hall together, my mother held Xiao Cheng at this time, as if trying her best not to let him see anything, while my father took us directly to the husband's room, after coming to the room, I only saw a person lying on the bed, lying flat, my father said, "It's out of gas." ”
My dad himself was frightened, and there was a tone of surprise and disbelief in his voice, and when I heard this, I only felt sullen in my heart, and Mr. Zou didn't say anything. I just walked closer to the head of the bed, then looked at the lying corpse, and asked my dad, "You didn't touch the corpse, did you?" ”
My dad said, "I just sniffed and didn't touch it." ”
Mr. Zou didn't touch anything either. Just looked at the corpse carefully, then looked into the room again, and said, "This is a murder case, call the police first, otherwise all of us will be ruthless then." ”
When my dad heard this, he took his mobile phone to call the police, and then I asked Mr. Zou, "How did she die?" ”
As soon as I asked this question, Mr. Zou made a silent gesture at me, as if he was worried about something, so I didn't continue to say it with interest. My dad was still describing the scene to the police, and then hung up the phone and said, "Come over there soon, let's not touch the scene." ”
Mr. Zou said, "Let's get out first." ”
So all of us came to the hall, Xiao Cheng was still holding my mother with a blank face, completely unaware of what was going on, and my grandmother looked at us and said, "You said this is good, how can you say that it is gone, leaving such a child." His family ......"
Grandma's words can't go on, I know the situation of Mr. Bai's family, there is only one Mr. Bai left in his family, and the only second uncle is a bachelor. But he has also passed away, and the grandmother's meaning is obvious, that is, his son has become a single seedling, and he is still so young. Parents are gone, how to make people not feel pitiful.
Xiao Cheng didn't know what was going on, but asked my mother in a pitiful voice, "Auntie, is my mother not coming back?" ”
When my mother heard this, she immediately comforted him and said, "Where will it be, your mother just goes out to have something to do, and she may have to come back late, if you are afraid, you can go to your aunt's house to live, okay?" ”
Xiao Cheng may indeed be afraid, so he said, "Okay." ”
I asked my dad privately, "His mom is dead in bed." Doesn't he know either? ”
My dad said, "I don't know, when we came into the hall, we only saw that the door was closed, and your mother tried to push the door open, but she saw his mother lying on the bed, at first she thought she was asleep, but she shouted twice but didn't respond, and then she realized that something was wrong, and then she asked me to go up and take a breath." I found that I was out of gas. ”
Mr. Zou said: "Looking at her appearance, it is estimated that she has been dead for a day or two, and this child has not even noticed at all, and how he has lived in this house in the past two days is still a mystery." ”
No wonder we saw him standing motionless in the courtyard when we called for the door just now. It wasn't until Mr. lit three sticks of incense and was sucked in that he reacted as if he had returned to his soul and opened the door for us, does this mean that Xiao Cheng is actually a problem?
I couldn't help but glance back at Xiao Cheng, but seeing his pitiful appearance, it didn't look like it was abnormal, so I asked Mr. Zou, "Sir, do you see anything wrong with Xiao Cheng?" ”
Mr. Zou said: "I can't see it for the time being, but it's a little weird. ”
Mr. Zou's words made people feel a little hairy, and as we were talking, we suddenly heard a sound of "knock, knock, knock" from upstairs, as if someone was walking upstairs, when I heard this sound. All of us held our breath, and my mother listened and asked Xiao Cheng, "Xiao Cheng, is there anyone else in your house?" ”
Xiao Cheng shook his head and said, "I'm home alone, and you've had this voice before you came." I was scared and ran to the yard. ”
When my mother heard this, she hugged him tightly and said, "What a poor child." ”
Then Mr. Zou said, "I'll go up and have a look, and you guys stay down there and don't walk around." ”
So I went after me and said, "Sir, I'll go up with you." ”
Mr. Zou didn't say anything, but acquiesced, so I followed Mr. Zou upstairs. I saw that there was nothing upstairs at all, but there was some inexplicable gloomy feeling, and then we went from the corridor to the inside, the upstairs layout of Mr.'s house was different from ours, there were only two rooms upstairs in his house, and there was a living room in the middle, and we saw the door of the living room open, so we went to the front of the living room first. Who knew that when I got to the living room, I saw a coffin in the living room, which was put upright, which startled me, and when I saw the coffin, Mr. Zou also said as if confirming something: "Sure enough, it is the same as we guessed." ”
Then Mr. Zou walked in, and I asked Mr. Zou, "Shall we open the coffin?" ”
Mr. Zou said: "Before the police came, we had to see if Mr. Bai was inside, otherwise we might not be able to see the scene when the police came." ”
Saying that, I came to the coffin with Mr. Zou, and then Mr. Zou looked at the coffin, and he said that if the coffin had been nailed up, there would be no way, but after looking at it, he found that the coffin had not been nailed up. And with a slight push, the coffin lid was pushed open a crack.
When the coffin lid was pushed open, I only smelled a corpse smell coming out of the coffin, indicating that there was indeed a corpse in the coffin, so Mr. stood far away and tried not to let his face get close to the open slit, so as not to be hit by the corpse gas, and after the coffin lid was completely pushed open, this corpse smell spread throughout the living room, and the smell was unbearable.
But what is surprising is that when we look into the coffin, there are only traces of the corpse in the coffin, but the corpse is not inside.
When he saw this scene, Mr. Zou suddenly said in an aggravated tone: "It's not good, it's a corpse!" ”
Then he looked into the living room, and I felt my scalp tingle for a moment, and then he turned around to look at it, and it felt like a corpse was standing behind me.
And I just turned my head and saw a pair of feet, just behind the open living room door, I was so shocked that I couldn't speak, just pulled Mr. Zou's clothes and pointed behind the door for him to see.
When Mr. Zou saw this, he immediately asked me to stand in the back, and all I saw was a pair of black cloth shoes behind the door. The rest of the part was covered by the door and could not be seen.
Mr. Zou walked slowly towards the door, I was worried about him every step he took, and a heart was even higher in his throat, the atmosphere was tense as if it was about to explode at any time, obviously only a few steps away but it seemed to be far away, until Mr. Zou arrived at the door, completely pulled the doorknob to pull the door over.
The moment the door was opened, my heart jumped out, but I saw that there was no body behind the door, except for a pair of cloth shoes.
Seeing that there was nothing, I realized that it was a false alarm, and Mr. Zou was also stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said, "It's not good, the body may be downstairs." ”
At the same time as Mr. Zou said this, I suddenly heard my mother suddenly scream, as if something bad had happened downstairs, Mr. Zou and I immediately changed our faces when we heard this, and then rushed down from the stairs desperately.
