008: Tricked corpse
Just as I, Monkey, and Chubby were out for a ride in the car, I received a call from Director Wang. It turned out that there was a safety accident in a scenic spot in this county, and a tourist died, and we needed to rush over to collect the body; It happened that the spot was less than ten minutes away from where we were at the time;
It will take at least half an hour to send the monkey back to the county, and it will take a lot of time to go back and forth, so I and Xiaopang will simply take the monkey over together, and if people ask about it, they will say that they are colleagues;
The monkey heard that we were going to take him with him to pull business, and the reluctance was as if he was taking him to the execution ground, and he wanted to jump out of the car and escape on the way, but fortunately, I and Xiaopang comforted him all the way, and the young man stopped; However, you can still see the nervousness and apprehension in his expression; After all, unlike me and Chubby who often have to deal with corpses when working in a funeral home, as an ordinary person, the fear of corpses is unavoidable, even if I have been working for half a month, every time I move a corpse with Chubby, I will feel apprehensive.
When I came to the incident attraction, a bulletin board was hung at the entrance of the scenic spot that it was temporarily closed. A green police car stopped in front of the ticket gate of the scenic spot, and in the courtyard at the entrance, groups of tourists stood or sat around and discussed.
Seeing our van approaching the door, a security guard dressed up hurriedly came to negotiate with us. Knowing that we were from the funeral home to pull the body, the security guard said a few words to the walkie-talkie in his hand, and then told us to wait at the door.
"You don't know, I was at the bottom of the mountain and was about to go up the mountain, when I heard an exclamation from behind me, and I looked back, and saw that several people behind me were looking up at the sky, and I was curious about what they were looking at, and I felt that something seemed to have fallen on the road in front of us; The voice was dull and dull; When I looked back again, the dust was billowing and there was a little girl lying on the ground; It scared me..."
"Alas, it's a pity for such a young girl" While waiting, some of the chatters of tourists who were relatively close to the car reached our ears; Chubby and I glanced at each other, and strangely enough, I saw a bit of solemnity in his usually calm eyes; I didn't really understand Chubby's strange reaction at that time, I didn't think much of it, I glanced through the window frame of the car to the crowd of tourists outside the car.
Somehow, in a group of talking tourists, I saw a more abrupt person, he didn't talk to other people, and he didn't have a gossip and curious look on his face like everyone else, he just stared intently at the ticket gate of the scenic spot, although this person didn't look very special, but a scar on his forehead made his face look a little fierce; But the strange thing is that such a fierce looking face is full of sadness at this time.
As if sensing that I was looking at him, the man also glanced at me inadvertently, his eyes were relative, and he avoided it for a moment, I felt a little strange, and it happened that at this time a middle-aged man walked out of the entrance of the scenic spot and came to our car window, and I also took my attention back.
According to him, the deceased was a female tourist who came to travel from other places, and the cause of death is still being further investigated, and the preliminary judgment is that an accident occurred during the mountaineering process that caused him to fall from the mountain. The hospital arrived and confirmed that he did not have any vital signs, and after several parties negotiated, it was decided to collect the body and transport it to the funeral home for storage.
Because the body is still at the scene of the incident, and there is no road for vehicles to drive in the scenic area, we need to walk in to transport the body out.
After letting the nervous monkey guard the car in place, Xiaopang and I carried a stretcher and body bag and rushed to the scenic spot with Director Zhou.
The place where the incident occurred is located between two peaks, which is a mountain trailhead, with peaks rising on both sides, and only one winding dragon trail up the mountain among the cliffs.
When we arrived at the scene of the incident, we saw that an area on the ground was surrounded by a police cordon, and on the ground in the center of the cordon, an arch covered with a white cloth was very conspicuous, which was obviously the female tourist who fell off the cliff. The ground around the corpse must have been simply cleaned up, but you can still see irregular and shocking blood spots!
Seeing the dazzling red, I panicked at that time, not to mention that the bloody scene was the first time I encountered it, and it was at that time that I realized what the worry in Xiaopang's eyes was worried about. The corpse that fell from a high altitude must be broken bones and tendons, unrecognizable, and even separated and broken, this kind of funeral experience is not something that anyone can bear, not to mention that I am still a novice, he is probably afraid of scaring me, so that I have any intention of leaving or something!
Although I panicked, this is my job, and this experience is inevitable after all, so I still mustered up the courage to spread out the stretcher with Chubby, pull the body bag apart and flatten it, and then walked to the end of the corpse with Chubby, bowed and reached out to lift the white cloth covering the corpse. As the white cloth was lifted into a corner, I subconsciously looked over.
I couldn't remember what was going on in my head at the time, but I knew that after seeing the face with blurred flesh and blood and squeezed facial features, I instinctively threw the white cloth on my hand and subconsciously retreated, but due to the untimely coordination of my steps, my whole center of gravity was unstable, and I sat down on the ground as soon as I sat down.
The little fat on the side saw my reaction and stepped over in two steps to help me up from the ground, and the director Zhou who brought us over stood far away from the cordon, and when he saw me fall, he asked me if I was okay.
"I'll go, I'll go, I'll go!" I reached out and slapped my chest a few times, and the frightened mood gradually stabilized; The face was really scary, and the whole face was flattened and even sunken inward; Although it was the first time I saw such a miserable picture, it didn't scare me as a normal person. the extent of the degree; That is, it is more scary at first glance; Afterwards, although I still had some fear in my heart, I did not show any more gaffes under my deliberate avoidance of that face;
At Chubby's suggestion, the two of us swapped places and lifted the white cloth covering the female corpse, and then he dragged the upper body of the female corpse, and I lifted the twisted legs of the female corpse, and carried it into the body bag, and then closed the zipper of the body bag and carried the body to the side of the stretcher;
By the time we transported the body out of the scenic area, it had been more than ten minutes; As soon as we got out of the scenic spot, those tourists who watched the excitement surrounded us, but fortunately, Director Zhou had already prepared and asked a few security guards to block a group of people five or six meters away in advance;
At that time, Chubby and I were already sweating profusely and thirsty in our mouths, so we carried the stretcher to the back of the van, and the monkey who watched the car hurriedly helped us open the trunk door; Chubby and I lifted the end of the body and moved the body bag into the van; It was a bit thirsty, so we took off our rubber gloves and beckoned to the monkey to disassemble the stretcher and put it in the trunk; hurriedly ran to the car to find water to drink;
After getting into the car, the two of us each took out a bottle of Wahaha from the co-pilot's drawer and drank it clean; After a while, the monkey closed the trunk door and got into the car; Xiaopang on the side said hello to Director Zhou, and then started the car and drove out of the gate of the scenic spot.
After the monkey got into the car, it was unusually quiet, and I couldn't help but turn my head to look at it in the co-pilot, and I saw that the monkey's face was unusually pale, and the whole person was swinging;
"This," I hurriedly asked him what was wrong; Chubby, who was driving on the sidelines, also noticed my problem; While driving, he also turned his head and glanced at the monkey;
"Wow! Monkey, why is your face so white! Isn't it just a corpse? Why are you still scared like this! "Chubby thought that the monkey's face was so ugly because he was afraid of the dead body;
"No, no, no, that, that, that woman, good, good, like, deceit... Cheat... "The monkey said in a trembling voice;
