Chapter 19: Shroud kills

The moment the white cloth was lifted, I immediately looked at the corpse, the deceased's face was pale, without the slightest blood, and the corners of his mouth were still stained with dried blood, which had turned black and purple due to oxidation.

Although the figure and age of the deceased are similar to Li Hai, their appearance is very different.

Moreover, the deceased also wore a pair of black-framed glasses on his face, and he had never worn glasses since the day I met Li Hai, so the deceased was not Li Hai at all.

I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that it was not Li Hai's corpse under the white cloth, but before my breath was completely relieved, my heart rose to my throat again.

The deceased was wearing the same blue shroud that I had put in the black plastic bag earlier!

I obviously left this shroud at Li Hai's house last night, why am I wearing it on this strange young man now, what is going on?

I was startled when several policemen next to me stepped forward and pinned me to the ground.

Because I had an arm injury, the wound that had stopped bleeding after being pressed by several people broke again, and a warm current poured out of the wound, and it didn't take long for the sleeve to stain red.

"Do you know what you're doing, you're obstructing official business, bring me and him back to the police station for investigation, I suspect he has something to do with this case!" One of the policemen pressed against me and shouted angrily.

After hearing this, several policemen dragged me up from the ground, and was just about to take me into the police car, when suddenly a majestic figure blocked in front of me, I looked up and was overjoyed, the person in front of me turned out to be Li Hai!

At this time, Li Hai was standing in front of me in a yellowed shoulder tank top and shorts, and he was still nibbling on a corn cob in his hand.

Seeing that the police were about to take me away, he hurriedly took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket and handed it forward, and said with an apologetic face: "Uncle policeman, he is my friend, not from this community, and it has nothing to do with this case, what are you arresting him for?" ”

The policeman raised his hand and pushed the cigarette back, and then said in a deep voice: "This kid obstructed official business and lifted the white cloth on the deceased's body without permission, we have warned him before, but he didn't listen at all, now I suspect that he is related to this case, and he must be taken back to the police station for investigation!" ”

Li Hai turned his head and glanced at the corpse when he heard this, and suddenly realized, and hurriedly smiled: "This matter is troublesome, my friend must have misunderstood, originally the two of us agreed to come to my house to play this morning, but in addition to such a thing in the community, the deceased is the same age and body type as me, plus he lives in the same building as me, so my friend must treat him as me, so he will be so reckless, I will compensate you for it, if you arrest him back, it will be a waste of police force, I think he will be released." ”

After hearing this, the policeman glanced at the deceased and found that he did bear some resemblance to Li Hai, and then he looked at me and asked, "Is that the friend you mentioned earlier is him?" ”

"That's right, it's him, I thought something happened to him, so I was in a hurry to identify it, I really have nothing to do with this case, I just came in from outside the community, and the uncles and aunts outside can help me testify." I said earnestly as I looked at the policeman in front of me.

The policeman looked me up and down, and said with a cold gaze: "Reading your friend to help you prove it, I will spare you this time, and next time you obstruct official business, I will definitely take you back to the police station!" ”

After saying that, the policeman waved at my colleague who had detained me, and I was freed.

I straightened up and was about to loosen my muscles, when I saw that the police had already begun to carry the body to the car.

Seeing this, I secretly said in my heart that the deceased was still wearing that shroud, if the shroud was taken away by the police, wouldn't it be troublesome for me.

The origin of this incident is precisely because of this shroud, if the shroud is gone, then how can I continue to investigate.

Besides, according to the words of Shenhao and Qin Wenhua, my life is less than a day, I originally wanted to take Shouyi to Ziyang Temple to find a Taoist priest to solve my doubts, if Shouyi was taken away by the police, wouldn't there be no power to return to heaven!

In a panic, I was about to step forward to stop the police from taking away the shroud, but at this moment, a huge force directly stopped me, and when I looked back, the person who stopped me was Li Hai.

"You fucking don't want to die, people finally let you go, and now you're kicking your nose in the face, you really think they don't dare to arrest you!" Li Hai looked at me and said angrily.

"Lao Li, don't worry about this, the clothes on the deceased are very important to me, I must take the clothes back!" My eyes were red.

"A torn dress, can you be guilty of fighting against the police, if I didn't care about you just now, you have been taken away by them now, hurry up and go home with me, don't make trouble here, if you die again, Lao Tzu will not be able to save you!" As he spoke, Li Hai grabbed my arm with both hands and walked towards the door of the unit building.

Li Hai took advantage of his size and dragged me all the way to the door of the building, and he did not let me go until the police pulled the body out of the community.

"Chen Mo, what's wrong with you, I thought you were weird since yesterday, what happened?"

After dragging it for so long, Li Hai was probably a little tired, leaning on the door of the building, taking out a cigarette, and began to swallow the clouds and gasp for breath.

"I wanted to ask you what's the matter, I left a black plastic bag at your house when I left last night, where did you put it?" I looked at Li Hai and asked.

"Black plastic bag?" Li Hai wondered for a moment and seemed to remember something, and continued: "Come to think of it, I did see a black plastic bag when I cleaned up the floor last night, I wanted to see what was inside, but when I smelled a stench inside, I thought it was something rotten, and then I threw it into the staircase aisle. ”

After listening to Li Hai, I understood what happened, it must have been the young man who picked up the black plastic bag thrown by Li Hai and brought it home, so he suffered this catastrophe.

If things are really as I guessed, then I didn't indirectly harm this young man, and the most puzzling thing for me is that since this shroud can kill, why didn't I die, could it be because the time limit has not yet arrived?

All the mysteries were intertwined in my mind, but I could not find the slightest clue, so I had no choice but to turn the finger of the matter to the deceased, hoping to find out some useful information from the mouth of the Li Haikou.

"Do you know the deceased, and do you have any dealings with him on weekdays?" I looked at Li Hai, who was smoking, and asked.

Li Hai glanced at me and didn't speak, continued to smoke by himself, and when he saw that he didn't respond, I raised my leg and kicked him in the ass, and shouted angrily: "What about you, are you dumb?" ”

Li Hai threw half of the cigarette in his hand to the ground, glared at me and said: "You are dumb, who was going to break off my friendship with me yesterday, it's you, today I saved your life is considered benevolent and righteous, don't bother me in the future!" ”

After Li Hai finished speaking, he twisted his head to the side angrily, it seemed that he hadn't lost his anger about what happened last night.

If I had taken advantage of this stall before, I would definitely leave quickly, because I didn't want Li Hai to be involved, but not now, Shouyi has been taken away by the police, and the last person to see Shouyi is Li Hai.

If I want to find out what is going on, I have to start with the dead young man, because I still don't know why the shroud killed people.

Whether it was a purposeful murder or an indiscriminate killing, and if Shouyi really killed someone, then why Li Hai was okay, these mysteries may only be explained by Li Hai.

Seeing that Li Hai was still angry, I took out a cigarette from my pocket and handed it to him, and then said with a smile on my face: "Lao Li, you really take this matter seriously after so many years of friendship between our brothers, I was also in a bad mood yesterday so I said those words, don't take it to heart, think about it, if I really break off my friendship with you, can I still come to your community to find you this morning?" ”

Hearing this, Li Hai turned his head and glanced at me, snorted coldly, took the cigarette, and said angrily: "I knew that you kid was quick to talk, for the sake of you being so worried about me this morning, I won't bother with you, let's go up and talk." ”

After seeing Li Hai let go, I finally breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately followed Li Hai's ass and followed him upstairs, and when I came to the door, Li Hai pointed to the opposite door, saying that this is where the young man lived just now, and the two of them lived in the opposite door, and they rarely met on weekdays.

Li Hai had already opened the door when he spoke, and after I entered the room, I looked back at the locked door, and wondered: "Since you two live in the opposite door, why do you rarely see each other on weekdays, as the saying goes, you don't see each other when you look down, shouldn't you be very close to each other if you live so close?" ”

"Don't you show off, think this is a rural area or a courtyard house in Sijiu City, now the city people live upstairs and have a few neighbors who know each other, I dare to guarantee that you definitely don't know what your neighbor is called, if you want to say it, I will call you Shengye!"

Li Hai sat on the sofa as he spoke, picked up a piece of watermelon and nibbled on it.

Li Hai's words left me a little speechless, he was right, as far as the neighborhood is concerned, there is indeed a difference between the city and the countryside.

In the past, when I was in the countryside, the relationship between the families was very good, and they were like a family.

But since I entered the city, I have found that this person is much more estranged from each other, not to mention a person upstairs, and even the neighbors on the other side of the door rarely come and go, and most of them live their lives behind closed doors, so the neighborhood relationship in the city is far less harmonious than in the countryside.

"Okay, I won't talk to you about this, but since you live on the opposite side of the door with this young man, you also know a little about his family's affairs, right?" I looked at Li Hai and asked.

Li Hai threw the leftover watermelon rind in his hand on the table, raised his hand and wiped his mouth: "It's unrealistic to say that I don't know at all, this person has lived in the opposite door for two or three years, and he rarely goes out on weekdays, almost always at home, and he doesn't see his parents or friends come to visit him, but there is something very strange to say......" Speaking of this, Li Hai deliberately paused.

"What's the matter?" I looked at Li Hai and asked.

Li Hai raised his hand and hooked his finger at me, motioning for me to come forward, after I came to Li Hai's side, he put his mouth close to my ear, and then lowered his voice and said: "He usually lives alone, and he has never seen outsiders go in, but I always hear the voice of another woman in his house, and more than once!" ”
