Chapter 13: You Look Restless
This made Jiang Xie even more puzzled.
Huo Yijun walked into the mortuary again, the lights in the room were beating, and their shadows were reflected on the wall.
There are dozens of candles placed at one end of the mortuary, which just illuminate the paper man, and it is especially terrifying to see the face of the paper man at such a close distance.
The old man had never seen anyone want to test the paper, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
"The old gentleman has dismantled the paper, and the contents are what we want to check."
"Inside?" The old man blinked quickly.
With a strong curiosity, the old man picked up a knife and axe and cut open the bamboo strips that pierced the paper, and after tearing off the paper, he suddenly saw that the hollow place inside was actually filled with the corpse of rotting maggots!
"Ah, go fetch water!" The old man has rich experience, and he is also used to seeing such scenes, so he directly and calmly handles them.
It's just that the grandson of the old man who participated in the cleaning later, Ah Lai, vomited out all the overnight meal.
Jiang Xie was about to step forward to take a look, but Huo Yijun stretched out his hand to stop: "Hey, Jiang Sizheng is not in a hurry, it's not too late for the old man to deal with it and see it again." β
Obviously, Huo Yijun already knew what was in the paper tie one step ahead of him.
The old man poured the corpse pieces in the paper into the pool and rinsed them repeatedly until the maggots were washed before he dared to show them to Si Zheng.
"My lord, there are corpses in the paper patch, maggots have been born, and I am afraid that it has been a while since I died."
Jiang Xie covered his nose and walked to the pool and looked: "About four to thirteen days after death, there will be corpses, most of the soft tissues will be devoured by fly larvae, and most of the fly and hemp fly larvae will complete their development and leave the corpse to pupate, looking at the decaying state of the corpse, it should be ten days." β
"Jiang Sizheng also knows how to perform autopsies?" Huo Yijun asked curiously.
Jiang Xie glanced at it and turned to leave.
He was just about to pick up the corpse and transfer it to the mortuary, when he suddenly found that his hand was stuck in the flesh of the corpse, and his hand was cold as if it was inserted into the tofu, and the mucus was stained on his hand.
Huo Yijun frowned, but he didn't expect that the corpse had liquefied, and the muscle tissue fell like a stream.
"Vomitβ" Even though the old man was holding his hands, the flesh fell down his fingers and fell to the ground into a puddle of mud.
He was an experienced man, and it was difficult to hold back his physiological reaction when he saw such a liquefied and rotten corpse.
When all the bodies were transferred, only a skeleton with a little flesh stained remained.
Huo Yijun stood on the side of the mortuary and took a cursory look: "It is a female corpse, about sixty years old, and the cross-section of the corpse is consistent with the method of dividing the two corpses we found, so it can be determined that it was done by the same person." β
"She died ten days ago, and the fatal wound must have been this star-shaped scar on her ribs, and the weather was hot and sealed in a sealed paper man, and it was so fast that her face was hard to recognize."
Jiang Xie came over and raised an objection: "The face is unrecognizable, it is not necessarily impossible to recognize the body, this is a bracelet poured out of the paper bundle, and it is taken to the lantern maker to identify the identity of the deceased." β
"You can identify it, but I'm guessing the old man is the lanternmaker's mother."
Huo Yijun walked to the side and analyzed: "The so-called most dangerous place is the safest place, no one would have thought that the bones of the lantern maker's mother would be in the paper binding, and the eyes we saw were the eyes of the deceased." β
No one would draw their eyes so realistically, unless they were real.
"The lanternmaker killed his own mother and put it in a paper bind, pretending that the person is still alive?"
"It's horrible."
There was a lot of discussion around, Huo Yijun took advantage of the unpreparedness, and touched the bones on the mortuary with his hand, his fingertips touched, the power was attracted, and he was instantly enveloped by a strong emotion.
She felt a slight chill, her body shivering unrecognizably, her hairs stood on end, her scalp tingled, her stomach twitched, and the discomfort caused her to swallow frequently, glancing in the direction of the inner hall from time to time.
"Huo Xiaogongzi, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Xie noticed Huo Yijun's strange appearance and came over to ask.
Huo Yijun withdrew his hand, picked up the cloth and wiped it nervously, and his voice became trembling when he spoke again: "No...... It's okay. β
After wiping her hands, she worked harder than usual to arrange her clothes and groom.
"You look uneasy, what are you worried about?" Jiang Xie's eyes were burning.
Huo Yijun shrugged his shoulders and pretended to be calm: "No, let's go see Yun Niang first and ask her why she lied." β
Jiang Xie frowned, could it be that Yun Niang was also involved? ?
