Chapter 68: The Mystery of the Black Corpse
Chapter 68: The Mystery of the Black Corpse
Soon, the team members converged one after another to the edge of the imperial city where Ling Yunfeng was located. The wolf and the hygienist carried the sick cat, which had re-fixed its leg bones, to the meeting point.
Forensic Doctor Qin, who arrived one step ahead of them, had a solemn face, and beside her was the humanoid object just now.
At this point, it was determined that it was indeed a corpse, and that the skin on the surface of the corpse had turned completely black. Under Ling Yunfeng's prompting, everyone was far away from the corpse, after all, the soul-corroding pain caused by that liquid was not something ordinary people could bear.
However, Forensic Doctor Qin didn't seem to be afraid of the liquid at all, and saw her check it for a while before returning to everyone.
"I've seen it, it's indeed a corpse, and judging from the hairstyle and clothing, it should be from the Qing Dynasty. As for the liquid on the surface, I think it should be mercury. After Forensic Doctor Qin took off his mask and finished speaking, he put on a gas mask again. He also motioned for everyone to also wear gas masks.
Although the experts felt that it was not very clear to speak with that gas mask, they still had to wear it for safety. And the soldiers have no scruples about this at all, who let the perverted instructors often let them run and practice with this thing during exercises.
At this time, the monster was embedded in the wall, and it seemed to be dead. And the corpse on one side was also lying there quietly, long lost the hideous scene just now. Once the danger is gone, the time left for the experts.
Fan Lao and Teacher Yuan kept wandering around the wall and the corpse, and the whispered quarrels didn't seem to stop, and the two parties always pulled in Forensic Doctor Qin, as if as long as Forensic Doctor Qin was on whichever side, it was the truth.
Lao Wu also woke up at this time, but he just sat on the side and was distracted, and others only thought that he was overly frightened and did not bother him. Of course, Xiao Pepper and Forensic Doctor Qin just disdained to deal with him.
The sick cat and the black dragon were lying in a house not far from the imperial city, and the hygienist was taking care of them. Others were on the lookout.
This time they didn't dare to light a fire, for fear that it would be bad to attract any more monsters. As the sound of the argument got closer and closer, the experts also came to the house under the protection of Ling Yunfeng and Little Pepper.
Don't look at the heated quarrel outside, but when everyone sits together again, they just look at each other with their eyes, but no one refuses to speak first.
In the end, it was Forensic Doctor Qin who spoke first: "Since you don't speak, then I'll say it first." As I said earlier, the corpse must be from the Qing Dynasty. Moreover, he contained a large amount of mercury in his body, and the preliminary judgment was that the cause of death was suffocation. Since there is no way to dissect, this result can only be given. In addition, because he has a large amount of mercury in his body, this is the reason why the corpse that Mr. Yuan just talked about does not decompose. Also, due to the sudden arrival of the corpse from a confined space to an open space, the surface of the skin is rapidly oxidized, which is why the corpse's skin turns dark. ”
"I deduce that the corpse should be from around the middle of the Qing Dynasty. Teacher Yuan was talking eloquently at this time, and he had long since lost the scene of weak legs just now. "First of all, from the hairstyle, the braid in the early Qing Dynasty was not half of the head shaved as in the TV series, but only a piece of hair the size of a copper coin was left at the back of the head, and the braided hair should be slightly able to pass through the hole in the middle of the copper coin. So at that time, the hairstyle was also called the money rat tail, and it looked similar to a bald head from a distance. By the middle of the Qing Dynasty, more and more hair was growing. If you shave half of your head as described in the TV series, it has to be late, or even later than the late stage. Because even in the late stage, it is not only half of the head that is shaved, but the part of the back of the neck that goes up still has to be shaved clean. And then when I acted, I wore a wig, so I had half a head. ”
"Huh...... That's ugly! But it's acceptable to be handsome. Pepper on the side seemed to imagine those pigtailed actors, pouting and acting like.
Ling Yunfeng and the other members of Team B were dumbfounded, but they didn't expect that the little pepper that had been spicy would also appear like such a little girl.
"Ahem...... Doctor Qin lowered his head and coughed lightly twice, before he whispered: "There is still a difference between the actors in the TV series and the real people, the Manchus belong to the Tunguska race, according to the current aesthetics...... Hehe. ”
Although Forensic Doctor Qin didn't explain it, everyone snickered, obviously understanding its meaning. Only Pepper was left there and stamped her feet in frustration.
"Well, according to the records of wild history, during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, the Shaanxi magistrate found that there was a thief hole in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor during an inspection, and knew that there were thieves who entered the underground palace, so they made people seal the thief hole. Teacher Yuan immediately brought the topic back to the topic just now.
"So, this corpse is the tomb robber from Guangxu?" Erhuzi suddenly became interested and immediately asked.
"After all, the wild history is not a real record, although the time is inferred to be about the same period, but it can't be said that it is the thief in the wild history. Teacher Yuan replied cautiously.
But Erhuzi doesn't care if he is rigorous or not, as if he sees a historical celebrity, he wants to go to the corpse. Fortunately, the wild wolf pulled him back, after all, the concentration of mercury there was getting bigger and bigger.
"Besides, if he was the grave robber, it would be easy to explain what he had just escaped from the wall. Ling Yunfeng also joined the discussion at this time. And when he said this, it instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Seeing that everyone was looking at this, Ling Yunfeng said unhurriedly: "If he is really the tomb robber who was sealed in the tomb, what will he do? If there is no way out, then re-opening a robbery hole is the most direct way. Just now Mr. Yuan said that he shot at the wall, so is it possible that the thief made a hole and figured it out, but he was only one step away from breaking through the earthen wall, and he died of exhaustion?"
"Forensic Doctor Qin said just now that he was suffocated to death, how could he be exhausted?" the golden steel wolf on the side interjected.
"Well, even if he wasn't exhausted, if he triggered some mechanism that caused a large amount of mercury to gush out, so that he was only one step away from opening the thief hole, only to be drowned in the thief hole by the mercury. This also explains why he is so full of mercury. Ling Yunfeng swallowed his saliva and continued: "It's because after Mr. Yuan shot, the bullet hit the weak wall of that hole, which happened to destroy the balance between the wall and the internal pressure, and finally the corpse was sprayed out due to the pressure of mercury. This also explains why the large stream of mercury continued to erupt after the corpse was spewed, but it just so happened that the rhinoceros hit the ditch again, blocking the hole again. Just ......"
Saying this, Ling Yunfeng stopped talking, because he couldn't explain why he felt so much pain after touching the mercury. Forensic Doctor Qin also touched the mercury when he was examining the corpse, Ling Yunfeng asked in private, she just said that it was a little cold, and she didn't feel anything else. It was as if only he could feel the soul-corrupting pain, so he could only keep it in his heart and couldn't say it.
"Then, what Mr. Yuan said just now was so hideous, so terrifying...... What's going on?" Erhuzi, who looked like a curious baby, asked again.
"Hahaha, young people just have to be modest, or they have to drop the chain at a critical moment. At this time, I saw that Yuan Lao lowered his head in shame and did not speak, while Fan Lao on the side rushed to speak, as if he had finally been caught by me and ruined his chance. "Didn't you see that it was from the Qing Dynasty? Didn't you see that he had braids? If the braids were hung up when he came out of the hole, the corpse would pour forward and the braids would be pulled back, and of course his head would have been raised. Pulled by the braid, the muscles on the face are of course pulled upward, so it's normal for the corners of the mouth to appear in a V-shape. Did you say, Mr. Yuan?"
When everyone heard Fan Lao's explanation, they couldn't help laughing.
Because of the thousand-year-old inheritance of ghost and god culture, when people encounter something incomprehensible, it is natural for them to think about ghosts and gods first. In addition, in this ancient tomb, the environment and atmosphere are hinting at this, so it is no wonder that Mr. Yuan was frightened at that time. And those rumored ghost incidents, are they similar to Mr. Yuan?
