Chapter 108: Forehead Bird (Seeking Treasure, Asking for Votes)
As soon as she entered the morgue, a cold sensation hit her instantly, and Han Xue couldn't help but shiver.
Because it was a place where the corpses were stored, the temperature in the morgue was relatively low.
"Uncle Wang, you said before that someone else came here to check on the body, whether the people who came were a woman and two men, and they were wearing black suits and sunglasses. ”
After a little slowdown, Han Xue asked out loud.
"Yes, they came here in the morning, and they showed proof of investigating the case, I took a look, and it was specially approved by your director. So the wine let them in. ”
As he spoke, Old Man Wang turned on the light in the morgue, then stood in front of a row of freezers where the corpses were stored, looked for the freezer number, took out a bunch of keys, and opened cabinet No. 93.
The iron plate of the corpse covered with a white cloth was pulled out of the cabinet, and then the old man Wang turned to Han Xue and said, "This is the corpse, alas... I don't know if it was the madman who did it, this baby died a miserable death! Okay, I'll go back and rest first, and when you're done checking, just call me in the yard, and I'll lock the door. ”
"Okay, Uncle Wang. Han Xue nodded and watched Old Man Wang leave.
"Brother Gu, go over and take a look. After Old Man Wang left, Han Xue said to Gu Yiqiu.
Gu Yiqiu nodded, walked to the corpse covered with a white cloth, and lifted the white cloth.
A completely skinned corpse appeared in front of Gu Yiqiu's eyes, and the muscles, blood vessels and bones of his body had become a little white. Gu Yiqiu knew that this was the frost hanging in this freezer, otherwise the corpse would have rotted long after so many days.
Seeing this corpse, Gu Yiqiu touched his chin and frowned, as if he was thinking about something and didn't speak.
Han Xue also walked to Gu Yiqiu's side and said loudly: "Brother Gu, you also saw it, it's the same as what I said when I was in the hotel." You look at every muscle and blood vessel in this corpse, all of them are intact, and there is no sign of destruction.
Even a specialist in anatomy, it is impossible to peel off a person's skin without destroying the muscles and blood vessels under the skin. ”
Gu Yiqiu nodded in agreement, and then pushed the deceased back into the freezer.
"It's over so soon?Brother Gu, have you found anything?" Han Xue looked at Gu Yiqiu in surprise and asked.
"It's cold here, so let's go out first. ”
Han Xue nodded and followed Gu Yiqiu out.
When she went out, Han Xue also came to a lighted hut, and raised her voice to tell Old Man Wang, and when she got an answer from there, Han Xue followed Gu Yiqiu out of the funeral home.
"How about Brother Gu, have you found anything?"
As soon as she left the funeral home, Han Xue couldn't wait to ask about Gu Yiqiu.
Gu Yiqiu thought for a while and said, "I didn't smell a trace of demonic aura on that corpse's body, but maybe it has been emitted for a long time, or maybe it hasn't." But this woman's death is so bizarre, it can't be ruled out that it wasn't a monster who did it. ”
"yes, that's what I thought. Moreover, other comrades have been sent from above to prevent us from interfering in this case, and from this point I feel that this case is unusual. Brother Gu, if you have found anything, can you talk about it. Han Xue agreed.
"Youkai who like to skin people... I don't know if you've ever seen a painted skin?"
"Painted skin, Brother Gu, do you mean that this skinned monster is similar to the monster in the painted skin in the strange Tales of Liaozhai?" Han Xue suddenly said: "But in this world, is there really that kind of monster?"
"There are a lot of things in this world that people can't recognize. Including the mutant spider spirit you saw that day, if you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, would you still believe that there are youkai in this world?"
Han Xue nodded and said, "Yes, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, if I heard someone else talk about these demons and monsters, I would call that person superstitious." I've seen TV series and movies that paint skins, some say it's a tree spirit, some say it's a fox spirit, what is this monster? ”
"It's neither a tree spirit nor a fox spirit, it's called a fowl, and there's no record of what it happened. Our cognition should be in the conversation about different things. This kind of monster likes to wear human skin, disguise itself as an adult, enter human society, kill people and skin them, and collect human skin as a hobby.
In short, the frontal bird is an extremely dangerous youkai. ”
"That's... Then how can we find this monster called a frontal bird?" Han Xue couldn't help but shudder when she heard this.
Gu Yiqiu sighed and said, "This kind of monster has always been wearing human skin to disguise itself, and according to the records of demon subjugation sent by me. The human skin draped by the frontal bird, the frontal bird will cast a kind of witchcraft on the human skin, and can hide its demonic energy through the human skin.
So trying to find a monster hidden in a huge city is almost impossible for me. ”
"Then what should we do now?" Han Xue said anxiously, "You can't wait for that monster to kill and skin again, right?"
"All we can do now is wait for the same amount of birds to commit the crime again. And this kind of case is no longer something that you police can handle. Otherwise, when the other amount of birds does the crime again, you can contact me again, and then we will go to the first scene to have a look, and we can always find clues. ”
Gu Yiqiu was also helpless, he didn't want ordinary people to be killed by the fowl, but he couldn't even find the shadow of the monster, so he could only wait until the fowl committed the crime again.
After that, Han Xue showed a lost expression and muttered, "But I'm not in charge of this case now, or... I'll introduce you, Brother Gu, to the person who is taking over this case now, and then you will help them solve this case?"
Gu Yiqiu smiled and shook his head: "Do you think those people will believe my words? I think it's better to forget it, as long as that monster continues to commit crimes, I will catch it sooner or later, why bother to put on a hat for promoting feudal superstition." And I hope you don't tell anyone about the fowl, lest people label you as feudal superstition, or say that you are not in your right mind. ”
"Well, Brother Gu, I'll listen to you. Han Xue nodded.
"Okay, it's not too early, I'll go back first. ”
"Wait, Brother Gu. ”
After speaking, Gu Yiqiu turned around to leave, but was stopped by Han Xue's words.
Gu Yiqiu paused, turned around and smiled: "What's the matter, Officer Han, is there anything else?"
"That..."Han Xue lowered her head, the dark night covered her cheeks crimson, and she twisted: "It's so late now, Brother Gu, don't you send me..."
Gu Yiqiu patted his head, although Han Xue is a policeman, no matter how she says it, she is still a girl, Gu Yiqiu apologized, and took a taxi to send Han Xue home.
