As soon as I got close to the body, I noticed the problem.

Usually the drowned person, with their backs to the sky, is stuck at the bottom of the rocky living riverbed.

But the strange thing is that the corpse in front of him is upright.

Like a straight stake, it is stuck straight to the bottom of the riverbed, maintaining the same standing posture as when he was alive!

The cold water washed over the corpse, and as the water rose and fell, the corpse also shook up and down, not to mention how weird it was.

The fishing net that had just been sprinkled had already covered the neck of the corpse, and it was reasonable to say that the corpse should have been dragged out of the water by the fishing net, but when I got close to the corpse, I found that there was a heavy coffin dragged at the foot of the corpse!

This is a black coffin, the skin of the coffin is badly rotted, and the soaked and swollen lid is covered with aquatic plants and mold.

"Hold the grass!" When Leng Buding saw this coffin, I was so startled that I almost couldn't hold my breath and choked on water.

When I calmed down and continued to look down, I found an even more strange scene.

I saw that the lid of the coffin had been lifted from the corner, and a half-foot-long opening was made, as if a shark had opened its fangs and mouths in the water, and viciously "bitten" the ankle of the corpse.

The left foot of the corpse was stuck into the coffin, and from a distance, the left leg looked as if it had been "eaten" by the coffin, no wonder it could not float in the water.

This strange scene made my heart beat faster, and I quickly grabbed the corpse's hard thigh and tried to pull it out.

But the corpse's left leg was stuck very tightly, I couldn't pull it out, and secondly, the closer I got to this coffin, the cooler the water around me became, I held on for a while, I couldn't hold my breath, and quickly let go of my hands and floated up desperately.

After about ten seconds, I poked my head out of the water again, took a big breath of fresh air, Lao Song pulled the safety rope, and said anxiously,

"Zhou Xuan, how is it, have you found the body?"

I nodded with an ugly face, "The body was found, but he was stuck under a coffin and couldn't be dragged at all." ”

"What...... Coffin? ”

Hearing my words, the corners of Lao Song's mouth twitched, and the two policemen also showed surprised expressions.

The middle-aged police officer who led the team looked suspicious, "How can there be a coffin under the riverbed, you're not joking with us, are you?" ”

Lao Song also didn't believe it, and said yes, you must have read it wrong.

Seeing that they didn't believe me, I was just about to defend myself, but another young police officer standing on the boat seemed to have found something, and suddenly pointed to the river behind me, and said with a frightened face,

"Look, there's something wrong with the water!"

Well?

We were stunned for a moment, turned our heads to look at the place where the little policeman was pointing, and found that there were many bubbles the size of bowls under the water less than two meters away from me.

The bubbles gurgled upwards and exploded as they approached the water, emitting a strong stench that made everyone cover their noses.

As the bubbles burst, the river resounded with the sound of rushing water, and at the same time, streams of black liquid poured along the surface of the water, rendering the surface of the water black like ink.

It seems to be corpse gas......

My eyebrows twitched, and my face changed suddenly, and I quickly put my hand on the side of the boat, and hurriedly climbed onto the search and rescue boat, staring at the water with a surprised expression.

The bubbles under the water lasted for more than ten seconds, and when the last bubble exploded, an extremely unpleasant rancid smell spread to the entire surface of the water.

This is not the weirdest, the really weird thing is that as the corpse gas under the riverbed floats up, the corpse that was stuck in the crack of the coffin also floats up little by little with the buoyancy of the current.

I saw a numb, pale human face, swollen from the river, and as the corpse floated, it appeared in front of me little by little.

The corpse's expression was very serene, and there was no trace of pain or hideousness, but it maintained a posture with the corners of its mouth slightly raised, as if it was smiling at us on the boat.

His neck was stretched long, facing us head-on, his eyelids turned outward, revealing a pair of white eyeballs, coupled with that weird smile, which made everyone feel a chill rushing to the heavenly spirit cover, and there was a kind of shuddering horror.

There are many things that you may not be able to justify, but you just feel bad.

For example, the coffin that appeared inexplicably under the riverbed.

Another example is this floating corpse that suddenly surfaced, facing up, smiling at us.

The corpse clenched its fists, its whole body tense and straight, and its clothes washed by the current clung to its hard chest, like a piece of driftwood, floating and sinking in the water, and remained in that posture all the time.

After staring at each other for three seconds, Lao Song was the first to be frightened and his legs weakened, and he fell on the deck with a thud.

The two policemen who accompanied the body were also frightened enough, took out the walkie-talkie and shouted,

"The body has been found, quickly, first go to the construction site to bring a crane over, in addition to the body, we also found a coffin soaked in water......"

Fortunately, the place where the accident occurred is not far from the construction site.

Half an hour later, the workers got an excavator, fixed it through a steel cable, and salvaged the coffin.

Looking at the corpse lying flat on the white cloth, I felt infinitely strange.

Normally, a drowning person, after suffering intense suffocation, will desperately open his mouth to breathe and struggle underwater.

Any drowning corpse will have a swollen belly, be filled with river water, and fill the mouth and nose with mud and sand.

But the body of my co-worker Lao Chen was unusually peaceful, so peaceful that it made me feel excessive.

Except for the clenched fists, there is no sign of struggle up and down the body, and even a faint smile hangs on the corner of the slightly raised mouth, no matter how you look at it, it makes people feel wrong.

I walked curiously towards the corpse, and was about to break Lao Chen's fist to take a look, when I heard someone calling my name.

After turning around, I saw the contractor Lao Song standing in the crowd, striding towards me and saying,

"Zhou Xuan, you're tired after soaking in the water for so long, hurry up and go back to drink a bowl of ginger soup, change into clean clothes, and hand over the body to the police for disposal, your task has been completed."

I hummed, had to leave the place where the body was placed, and said to Lao Song, "The way the corpse died is very strange, I suspect that he did not drown simply, you had better give these situations to the police to react." ”

"Got it, you're not a police officer, and you've studied corpses."

Lao Song waved his hand impatiently, urging me to go back and change my clothes quickly.

At that time, I didn't think much about it, I really didn't feel well after soaking in the water for a long time, so I went back to the shed early, and after taking a bath, I changed into clean clothes, and planned to sleep well.

But I couldn't sleep well, I was dazed, I always felt something dangling by the bed, and my forehead was cold, as if I had a fever.

During the night I also had a strange dream that I had returned to the place where the body was recovered, and it was pitch black, and a woman in white was sitting on the coffin, crying behind my back.

I walked up in a daze and said to the woman, "Beauty, why are you lying on the coffin crying, and you don't come home in the middle of the night." ”

"You ruined my home, and I can't go back."

The woman stopped crying, and suddenly twisted her head 180 degrees, revealing two hole-like eyes, and glared at me with a sad smile.

"Hold the grass!"

In my sleep, I turned over and sat up from the bed, and wiped away the cold sweat with palpitations, and the more I pondered, the more wrong it became.
