Ren Yonghai spent a lot of time with me, and I also introduced myself. Qiu Xiaoyan on the side didn't do it, she estimated that she had never kept along with a policeman for such a long time in her life, even if she barely talked to Ren Yonghai, but her uncomfortable appearance was obvious to others.

"Brother Lin Kun, brother and sister, what's wrong? It doesn't seem to be very comfortable. Ren Yonghai said with concern.

Qiu Xiaoyan glanced at him impatiently, but she still held back and said, "Oh, it's nothing, I've been feeling unwell lately. ”

"Wasn't it okay to be on the train just now?" Su Lan wondered, "What is wrong with you, do you need to go to the hospital to see?" ”

Qiu Xiaoyan shook her head and said, "It's okay, a little wind and cold, it's not in the way." ”

"Otherwise, my house is nearby, come and sit at my house." Ren Yonghai said enthusiastically.

"That's embarrassing."

"Hey, meeting is fate, and I haven't thanked you yet." Ren Yonghai said and pulled me to the car.

Even though Qiu Xiaoyan was unwilling, she was still dragged into the car by force. At this time, Qiu Xiaoyan couldn't stand it anymore, she never dreamed that she would go to the policeman's house in this way.

When I arrived at Ren Yonghai's house, I saw the honorary certificates and trophies on the walls, and it could be seen that this criminal police captain had made countless meritorious contributions and could be regarded as a hero. However, other than that, his home can only be described as ordinary. Very simple decoration, almost no particularly expensive furniture, and the home is not very tidy. As soon as I entered the door, I saw a pile of files and an entire ashtray of cigarette butts on the table.

It is not difficult to imagine how many nights in the dead of night, he is alone thinking about the case, and these countless cigarette butts also seem to imply that he has recently encountered a very difficult case.

"Officer Ren, what's a big case recently that makes you so bothered." I pointed to the ashtray and laughed.

Ren Yonghai awkwardly packed up the ashtray, and Su Lan quickly took the file into the study and motioned for us to sit down and talk. Ren Yonghai sighed and said: "It's not a secret, there is indeed a case recently, although it is not a big case, but it has bothered me for a long time, I have a reluctant request, I hope that Brother Lin Kun can come up with an idea." ”

"Is it appropriate for us outsiders to know about the affairs of the police station?"

Ren Yonghai said with a smile: "Don't get in the way, this case is not even a criminal investigation case, there is no secrecy or secrecy, I know that Brother Lin Kun is a capable person, otherwise you will help my brother to work as a staff officer?" ”

Since he said that, I was naturally embarrassed to refuse, so I had to say, "Then you say come and hear it and see if I can help?" ”

"Recently, there was a strange incident in the county, and there was a body theft in the hospital morgue." Ren Yonghai habitually took out a cigarette as he spoke, ready to light one. Seeing Su Lan's white eyes shooting, he put it away embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I'm used to it." ”

"Corpse theft?" I had a bad feeling in my heart and continued to ask, "What's going on?" ”

"This incident is strange, it is still a case reported by an electrician who worked in the morgue, a while ago there was a problem with the wiring for the morgue in the hospital, and he was repairing the circuit that night, and the night was calm, and there were no moths. As a result, when someone came to the hospital to carry the body the next day, I looked, hey, the evil door is gone, and there is one body missing. Ren Yonghai recounted to us, "When he came to report the crime, we thought it was a prank, because the hospital morgue was locked when no one came in or out, and the key was kept in the hands of the guards. And the surveillance cameras are pressed inside the morgue and at the door, if there is really any movement inside, can it not be filmed? ”

"So what's going on, how can a body disappear for no apparent reason? Did you check the surveillance footage from that night? ”

I asked.

"Of course I checked, but the blame is on this place, the surveillance video shows that at about 11 o'clock in the evening, the person in charge of carrying the body also pulled out the freezer to confirm, and it was lying in it properly. For nine hours, until 8 a.m. the next morning, the door to the morgue was not opened, and no one entered or exited. But the evil thing is that at this time, the corpse disappeared for no reason. ”

"And what clues do you have?" Hearing this, I already secretly realized that there was something strange about the case, and it might not be as simple as a theft.

"Yes!" Ren Yonghai said, "I investigated this matter secretly, and I found out that the cause of this person's death is very strange, not long ago the suburbs of our city were excavating an ancient tomb, and this corpse was actually the on-site staff who participated in the excavation before his death." ”

Hearing this, my eyes froze, "Ancient tomb? ”

"Yes."

My brow furrowed.

"Brother Lin Kun, what's wrong?"

I leaned back on the couch, rubbing my chin, wondering to myself that there seemed to be something strange behind this. I vaguely felt that this thing seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog, which I couldn't see or touch, but I could really feel its existence.

"Officer Ren, do you believe that there are supernatural events in this world?"

Ren Yonghai glanced at me, sighed and said, "To be honest, I didn't believe it at first, but after this incident, I couldn't help but believe it. ”

"It seems that it is necessary to thoroughly investigate this matter." I nodded, "I think the process of the theft of the corpse is also very strange, how can a corpse stored in the freezer disappear out of thin air like this, we may have missed some details." Let's go to the hospital morgue and ask the electrician about the day. ”

Ren Yonghai immediately nodded in agreement, and after he found the electrician's registered address from the file, we jumped into his car and prepared to go to the electrician's home.

"Wait, let's go to the hospital first." I suggested improvised.

Ren Yonghai thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. Then, we went straight to the First People's Hospital of the city.

With the captain of the criminal police there, we naturally traveled unhindered and soon entered the morgue of the hospital.

The morgue was quite spacious, empty and a large room, with freezers against the wall, about sixty or seventy freezers neatly stacked on top of each other, and a few empty pushbeds in the corners, and nothing else.

"Comrade policeman, this is the morgue of our hospital."

The guard of the morgue was a middle-aged man in his forties, who led us into the morgue, pointed to one of the freezers and said, "You see, this is the 032 freezer where the stolen bodies were stored at that time, and it has been empty since this incident. ”

Hearing the middle-aged man's introduction, I withdrew my gaze and followed his fingers to freezer 032.

At first glance, I immediately noticed a strange place.

On the 032 freezer, where the corpse had been stored, there was a strange blood-red handprint.

"How could there be such a bloody handprint on the freezer?" My expression changed slightly, and I was about to open my mouth to ask questions, when I heard the voice of the middle-aged man guarding the morgue.

"Comrade policeman, it's not me complaining, I understand your work very well, and I should cooperate with your work. But this morgue is just such a thing, you can see it all at a glance, the day the body was stolen, you police also came here to check, and there is no suspicious place to find anything, I said, I am afraid that you two will also run in vain this time. ”

"Such a strange and inexplicable bloody handprint was left on the freezer, and there was nothing suspicious at all?" The middle-aged man's words made me swallow back what I was going to ask.

He looked back at the janitor

and Ren Yonghai glanced at it, and saw that they were all looking at the freezer, but their expressions were very natural, and they didn't seem to notice anything strange on the freezer at all.

"Can't they see this bloody handprint?" I was even more surprised.

"Master, this corpse is moving in and out, will there be some blood stains on the freezer or something?" I asked tentatively, and deliberately pointed to the bloody handprints on the surface of the freezer to guide his gaze.

"No, the corpses in the freezer are covered with body bags, and besides, the corpses are kept in a low temperature environment of minus 9 degrees, and the whole body is frozen hard, no matter whether it is blood or any liquid, it will not flow."

The middle-aged man's gaze naturally followed my finger to the bloody handprint, but nothing happened, not even the focus of his pupils.

As I suspected, he couldn't see the bloody handprint.

When the focus of a person's gaze changes, the pupils will naturally focus, which will shrink or expand accordingly, which is an instinctive physiological reaction of the person, and no one can hide it.

The middle-aged man's pupils did not react, only one thing was explained, that is, this bloody handprint did not exist in his eyes at all!

Since there were handprints on the freezer, there might be traces in other places as well, so I looked up and searched every part of the room, and soon found a bloody handprint of the same size in the place of the windowsill.

Contacting the location of the two bloody handprints, it is not difficult to see that that night, the thing that stole the body was crawled into the morgue through the window and stole the body.

It's just that I can't figure out for a moment what this bloody handprint is.

"Master, you should be busy first, the two of us will look here for a while, maybe there are any missing clues." I said to the janitor.

"Okay, okay, those two watch first, if there is anything to say at any time, I will be in the duty room outside." The middle-aged janitor, apparently not fond of staying in the morgue either, walked out.

After leaving the janitor, I pulled Ren Yonghai over and told him what I had just discovered.

"Bloody handprints?" Ren Yonghai was a little surprised, glanced at the position I was pointing at, shook his head and said, "I didn't see anything." ”

"That's what's weird." I frowned, walked to the edge of the freezer, reached out and pressed on the bloody handprint to compare it, the handprint was only half the size of my palm, it looked like a child's palm, "This is actually not a real bloody handprint, it is the embodiment of yin qi, you can't see it very normal." ”

"It's just ......," I groaned, comparing the size of the bloody handprints with some puzzlement, "turning yin into blood, this is a situation where resentment is too deep to appear, and there is no reason to steal only one corpse and not one of them die." ”

"Could it be someone dying somewhere else, we don't know?" Ren Yonghai analyzed.

I shook my head: "This is unlikely, the greater the resentment of this thing, the easier it is to be attracted by blood, at that time the janitor was in the duty room outside the door, so close to the distance, there is no reason to let him go." ”

Ren Yonghai didn't know anything about this business, and seeing that I denied it, he couldn't think of a second possibility.

I thought about it for a while, but I didn't have a clue, so I could only put it aside for the time being.

"No matter what it is, if you want to steal a body in a hospital morgue, there's one problem that you can't get around: the surveillance may not be able to capture it, but it will definitely capture the image of the body."

"A corpse that has been refrigerated for more than 20 days in a low temperature environment of minus 9 degrees Celsius has long been frozen into a lump, no matter what came to steal the corpse that night, it is impossible to swagger in front of the surveillance to get the corpse away, there must be some details that have been missed."
