Chapter 369: Another Corpse

The moment I opened the 'door', I didn't choose to enter the house rashly, but paused outside for a while...

It was these few seconds of pause that saved my life.

Just like in the morgue of the hospital at that time, the trap had already been laid behind the half-hidden 'door' of the worship room. The moment I pushed open the 'door' of the room, I only heard a loud bang, and then a steel plate smashed the floor in front of me.

As a rough estimate, the weight of that steel plate is at least about 100kg, and the downward-facing side is full of sharp thorns. If I had been hit head-on by this thing, I would have already burst out of my brain and become a corpse.

Not surprisingly, there is a wire tied to the back of the 'doorknob', and that wire is the key to activating the entire mechanism. The thrust of opening the 'door' directly caused the wire to fall off the handle, thus triggering the activation of the mechanism.

First gasoline, then venom, and now steel plates, the scene inside the worship room made me gasp as I struggled with how many death traps there were in this church.

I saw a skinned corpse leaning on the chair in the center of the worship room.

Could it be that that 'bastard' took the lead before we arrived and 'killed' Lao Yan?

In an instant, my heart began to beat wildly. It took me a long time to regain my composure, and after making sure there was no other danger in the worship room, I walked slowly through the steel plate in front of me and towards the corpse.

The steel plate nearly smashed through three floors of the floor, and the church was in disrepair and the floor was in danger of crumbling at any moment, so I had to be very careful to get around and get to the body.

The whole worship room was filled with a ** smell, but it was just a ** smell, and there was no smell of blood, and when I finally approached the corpse with all my strength, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it had also been stripped of its skin, the corpse in front of him had been dead for a long time, and most of the areas showed signs of white ossification, and some areas showed signs of chemical corrosion. In general, no matter which direction you deduce, the corpse in front of you cannot be Lao Yan's.

I speculate that the killer, after killing the deceased, threw a small amount of quicklime on the body in an attempt to destroy it. Then, because the amount of lime that was not sprinkled was enough, and there was no suitable place to bury the body completely, it was not possible to completely dispose of the body.

Perhaps it was the discovery of this problem that prompted the killer to abandon this idea and move the body to this worship room instead.

Because the worship room was relatively dry, and the quicklime sprinkled in advance had the effect of embalming, the wrong gold was wrong, so that the body was well preserved. I roughly calculated that this guy in front of me should also be the victim of the skinning case seven years ago, and it is very likely to be the first deceased in the whole case!

It was also a knife on the back of the neck, and the skin was completely peeled off. It's just that, unlike the guys who were strangled directly before, the corpse in front of me suddenly had a terrifying groove above the skull.

The degree of concave wound is by no means the result of quicklime corrosion. I reckon that the deceased's head was hit by a heavy object before it left such a horrible groove in the skull.

What is shocking is that after the murderer peeled off his skin, he actually draped it directly on the statue of Jesus in front of him, which was about one meter long. Because after a long time, the whole skin has been swallowed by all kinds of creatures, and now there is only a thin layer left, and it seems that if you touch it lightly, it will disappear completely.

It seems that we are really in the right place, and I'm sure that this old church must be hiding some great secret, and the corpse in front of me should be the key!

Who is the owner of this corpse, and why was he killed? What is the relationship between this person and inkstone?

I searched around the worship room, and finally found a bloodstained priest's uniform in the corner, and inside the tattered priest's uniform, I found information about a man's 'sex', and if nothing else, the identity document contained in the clothes should belong to the deceased person in front of me.

The deceased's name is Ke Wenju, a male 'sex', born in 1969, and his identity is the pastor of this church.

Ke Wenju, surname Ke?

Looking at the dazzling word "Ke" on the document, I couldn't help but associate the corpse in front of me with Ke Mobai.

What is the relationship between the two of them, father and daughter? Speculating from the age, it is somewhat consistent. But if this is the case, then what did Ke Wenju cause to be killed.

Because of the intervention of this corpse, many questions arose in an instant, and in this way, the identity of Yan Hei became even more confusing.

There was only one room of worship on the third floor, and if the guy in red hadn't hid here, he must have run up the fourth floor.

From the glance just now, I guessed that the figure in red was similar to the "inkstone black" that I had drawn mentally.

It's just that that guy's speed is too fast, and he is familiar with the terrain here, and this church is full of death traps, if I rush to catch up, I don't think there is much chance of winning.

What to do? Now, what exactly should I do?

Taking a deep breath, he looked at the dried corpse next to him. In an instant, I already had an idea, if I was really 'forced' to a desperate situation, maybe this dried corpse could save my life at a critical moment.

Carefully passing through the 'door' of the worship room, the shaky feeling made me feel that this church might collapse in an instant.

After returning to the corridor, I suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the air became more oppressive.

With a long way to go, I will face the murderer alone. The feeling of the heavy responsibility on my shoulders is not very comfortable, at this time, even I can't help but feel suspicious in my heart, on my own, is there really a way to subdue the murderer and rescue Lao Yan?

In an instant, the remaining space in the three-story corridor was pitiful, and if the red-clothed figure was not hidden in the few rooms in front of him, then it would only be possible to hide on the fourth floor.

I subconsciously clenched the firearm in my hand and 'groped' all the way up the passage, the darkness around me had solidified, and it seemed that it could devour people's 'lives' at any time. There are many death traps hidden in the darkness, and if you accidentally fall into them, you will definitely lose your bones in an instant.

There were two rooms left in front of him, all of which were half-hidden 'doors', and if he could be sure that the other party was not hiding in these two rooms, then he could only hide upstairs. This will also narrow down my search.

"Dada! Da-da-da-da! ”

Just as I was about to approach one of the 'doors', I heard a strange sound at the corner of the stairs.

It felt like someone was running fast on a wooden floor in high heels. Could it be that the figure in red!

My heart sank, and I hurriedly grabbed my pistol and rushed up the stairs in a few steps.

"Ah, help!" At this moment, a sharp shout suddenly broke the silence.

How could it be... How could it be her! No way, I can't be wrong!

This voice was made by Tang Yirou, could it be that she also came to this church!

However, it is impossible, Tang Yirou has no reason to appear here for any reason. And it was this shouting that made us 'chaotic'

Just as I was about to take a few steps up and rush directly to the fourth floor, I only heard a "squeak" sound, and then directly behind me, I suddenly felt a figure flash.

By the time I realized what had happened, it was too late.

In the next second, a pair of powerful big hands came around directly and covered my mouth and nose tightly.

The smell of chemical 'medicine' kept penetrating the tip of my nose, choking on me and making it almost impossible for me to breathe.

My brain subconsciously told myself that the situation was dangerous. I struggled desperately, but I couldn't get rid of that guy.

As time passed, my consciousness began to drift away, and gradually, my limbs began to lose control.

I saw a miserable white face slowly appear in front of me, and the next second, I completely fainted and stopped moving.
