Yancheng Special Office

Luo Wenxiu flipped through the paper several times to confirm that it was true that nothing was written, not some hidden trick of version A and version B.

"What's going on, why only his profile page is full of unknowns..."

At this time, only a "ding" electronic notification sound was heard, and an email reminder automatically popped up in the lower right corner of the computer screen in front of Luo Wenxiu, with a few words written in the preview title: Handover Review Confirmation Letter.

Luo Wenxiu clicked on the email and found that it was a scanned copy of the case under investigation.

"Gender of the deceased: Male; Age of the deceased: about 32 years old; Cause of death: Initially determined to be suicide by burning charcoal; Reason for application for handover: There are scorched palm prints of unknown creatures on the body..."

The accompanying picture is a photo of the face of the corpse, and a close-up of the black burnt palm print on the chest.

Luo Wenxiu continued to read silently, "The location of the case: No. 25 Jin Street, Yancheng..."

At this time, there were rustling footsteps in the yard. Luo Wenxiu just had time to close the half-seen employee files and put them back in place when he saw Qiu Fen from the office of the neighborhood committee next door hurried over. When he entered the door, he said, "There is a difficult case in the police department that requires the assistance of the neighborhood committee. The male colleagues are not here. Are you free to come and help us now?"

Luo Wen couldn't correct the occupational disease of the criminal investigation department, so he immediately became alert: "What happened?"

Qiu Fen said: "A young man in his 30s died in an old residential building. When the neighbors found out, he was already smelly. The police asked the local community to contact the family members, but the deceased was not our registered permanent residence. We checked for a long time. Neither could any of his family members be found."

Luo Wenxiu asked silently, "You're not talking about No. 25 Jin Street, are you?"

"Hey, how do you know..." Qiu Yan was stunned for a moment, looked down at the computer screen, and suddenly understood: "...Oh, it's only been about half an hour since I ran back, and I didn't expect to move here so quickly. "

"That's right, I just read the email, what's the current situation at the scene?"

Qiu Fen: "There were traces of burning charcoal at the scene, and the police initially suspected suicide. But his family members could not be found, and naturally no one was willing to pay for the funeral home to carry the body. In the end, our secretary had to go up and carry it himself. But he was alone. I can't lift it either... My God, the smell... Our colleague who went together vomited on the spot..."

"Won't the police present help with this kind of thing?"

"They collected the evidence and walked away. No one would interfere with this matter. You didn't see that scene..."

Luo Wenxiu looked at Qiu Feng's expression of fear of avoiding it, and asked silently, "How many days have you been dead?"

Qiu Fen: "Then it must be at least a week..."

Lovin: "It's already highly rotten, right?"

Qiu Fen nodded like pounding garlic.

Luo Wenxiu had been a criminal police officer for so many years, so he had the chance to see this scene before.After a certain period of time after death, there will be a giant phenomenon, that is, the gas after the internal organs decay causes the body to swell, and the mucus seeps out of the skin, causing the flesh and blood to stick to the ground. Walk.

Even if you don't see it with your own eyes, just listening to the description can still cause people both physical and psychological discomfort.

Luo Wenxiu secretly made a nauseous expression, "I was asked to help carry the corpse down, am I not wrong?"

Qiu Yan forced his eight teeth out of laughter.

"In the past, when we encountered this kind of thing, we would usually trick the local film police and bring them in and let them do it. Come on... Now I am a film police myself. There is a saying that is good. Sooner or later, I will pay back when I come out to mess around."

Luo Wenxiu's cell phone rang at the right time, and it was Pei Mengfei's voice when he connected.

"Hey new colleague, are you in the office? I sent a report to your mailbox just now. The director is not here, and I won't be back in a while. I probably looked at a murder case. It just so happens that you used to be from the criminal investigation department." , can you go over and see the situation first?"

Luo Wenxiu completely resigned to his fate.

"...Okay, I've seen the email, I'll check it out now."

There was still some distance from the crime scene, and there was a nauseating smell in the air.

The basement of the residents was surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside the cordon, and only a few residents were temporarily placed in nearby hotels.Luo Wenxiu took out his work card from his pocket, and found that the words "Criminal Investigation Section" on it hadn't been changed in time, so he handed the card to the police near the cordon. "Hello, I'm from the office in Yan. The case has just been transferred to us. I'll take a look at the scene on behalf of our leader... Oh, by the way, I haven't had time to change my work permit. I've just been transferred from the criminal investigation department."

"Oh, please come in." The little policeman just turned his head, and his eyes lit up. "It's Brother Luo! Hey? Didn't you go to the household registration hall?"

"Xiao Lu?" Luo Wenxiu was a little surprised after seeing who the other party was: "Your master is here?"

"Yes, my master's old man is now one head and two older, so you should go and see him quickly."

Qiu Fen dodged far away outside the cordon. When Luo Wenxiu went upstairs with one hand in his pocket and the other covering his nose, he happened to meet Yu Yu who was smoking in the corner.

"Smoking in this kind of place, the molecules emitted by the corpse will be eaten into the mouth and sucked into the lungs along with the air." Luo Wenxiu said to Yu Yu who was feeling sick, "Your apprentice said that you have one head and two big heads, I can't stop watching, you have a big head."

"Don't bother me, I saw you upstairs just now." Yu Yu was most annoyed to hear his nonsense, but couldn't help but put out his cigarette immediately after listening. "When you just changed departments, you encountered a murder case. Your luck is comparable to Conan."

Luo Wenxiu raised his eyebrows, "It was you who said with regret that the Criminal Investigation Division hadn't had a chance to transfer the case to the Yan Office in so many years. Whose crow opened its mouth?"

Yu Yu rolled his eyes at him, didn't bother to continue arguing with him, and casually pointed to the upstairs and said, "You go and have a look, we've only seen this level in Anjiang Reservoir once before."

Luo Wenxiu's face changed, as if recalling some extremely bad memories.He reached out and took a new mask from Yu Yu's pocket, put it on tightly and walked in.

The community secretary sat by Xixi bitterly, and nodded to him when he saw him come in.I saw a male corpse lying upright in the dim rental house, wearing pajamas and pajamas, and the protruding eyeballs still carried the panic of the last moment before death.Although the entire body had been completely swollen, a black palm print on the chest was still clearly visible.

Luo Wenxiu had never seen that palm print, and even felt that it did not come from any known creature.

The deceased was visually estimated to be over 1.8 meters tall and slightly fat.It was really difficult for this thin community secretary to carry such a person who was no longer in human form downstairs.However, he was actually able to sit here and endure until now, which is really admirable courage.

Luo Wenxiu glanced at the corpse, and sighed at the injustice of fate. Half a minute later, Luo Wenxiu came out again with a springy smile, and while Yu Yu was not paying attention, he patted him on the shoulder and went straight to the room. Li drag. "Good brothers, share the blessings and share the difficulties."

Yu Yu was caught off guard with his back turned, and couldn't stabilize his heels immediately. "Don't cheat me, let go! Let go..."

Then the sound drowned out the room directly.

It was getting late at this time, and by the time a group of people were busy cleaning up the scene, it was already [-] o'clock in the evening, and the setting sun that occasionally shone through the gaps in the clouds cast a dark and unclear shadow on this empty residential building.

After all, Yu Yu still didn't escape the catastrophe, and Luo Wenxiu, a heartless bastard, held his head down and carried the body downstairs together.Apprentice Xiao Lu saw that his face was not good, so he ran over and asked with concern: "Master, what's wrong with you? Do you want to eat? I still have a bag of bean curd left over from lunch in my car."

Yu Yu didn't know what he thought of, and the nausea that he had just swallowed alive finally vomited out.

Xiao Lu: "..."

Luo Wenxiu was the last to leave the residential building and waited for his colleagues from the criminal investigation department to seal off the crime scene with a seal.In such a blink of an eye, he seemed to see a black figure flashing past the corner of the corridor.

Luo Wenxiu turned his head to take a closer look, and the black shadow disappeared again.

Luo Wenxiu subconsciously thought that he had misread it. There were many old trees around here that had not been pruned all year round, with intertwined branches. When the sun was shining, when the wind blew, it would cast strangely shaped shadows on the wall.

But when he put the seal on and was about to go downstairs, he suddenly had a strange sixth sense.

It was as if there was a "person" staring at him behind him.

Luo Wenxiu shuddered, turned his head sharply, and stared at a black shadow on the opposite wall.

He couldn't tell what it was. At first glance, it looked like a large group of water stains seeping on the wall, but the color was darker than the water stains.Luo Wenxiu carefully thought about whether there was such a water stain when he passed there just now, but he never had such an impression in his mind.

While thinking, the mass suddenly faded away at an extremely fast speed.Luo Wenxiu watched helplessly as the group of "water stains" gradually became shallower and finally disappeared from the wall, leaving no trace at the edge, as if it had never appeared before.

Luo Wenxiu frowned, "It's these ghosts again..."

Since seeing these "dirty things" in the hospital last time, Luo Wenxiu hasn't seen any new ones for a while.He thought his eyes had recovered, but today he saw that he was still the same.

This heart disease began to trouble him again, until late at night, Luo Wenxiu lay in the duty room, still thinking about the shadow he saw in the evening.

Is it because there will always be this ghost at the murder scene, and I just can see more things than ordinary people now; or is it that no matter where I go, the shadow will follow him and stare at him... This question has its essence difference.

Luo Wenxiu sat up from the recliner in the duty room and rubbed his eyes. The clock on the wall was just after eleven o'clock in the evening, and the yard outside the window was silent. An extremely absurd idea suddenly appeared in his heart-wanting to go to the crime scene again. Check it out live.

As the saying goes, don't talk about people during the day and don't talk about ghosts at night, if Yu Yu was here, he would definitely do everything possible to hold him back.Running to the scene of a murder case in the middle of the night, it was still the scene of an unconventional supernatural murder case, it was simply a typical classic plot in a movie where a passerby seeks death.

But Luo Wenxiu just didn't believe this.He thought he had a perfect idea—he prepared all the mobile phones, flashlights, high-definition law enforcement recorders, and batons.No matter how bad it is, you can still use the law enforcement recorder to take pictures, and study it when you come back.

In this way, Luo Wenxiu re-arrived at the bottom of the blocked residential building at 11:30 in the middle of the night. Since a few residents had been temporarily resettled, the entire building was in darkness at this time.

Luo Wenxiu adjusted the recording status of the law enforcement recorder on his shoulder, ducked in from under the cordon, and entered the residential building alone.The old-fashioned concrete stairs in the building are dark and dilapidated, and you need to walk around a corner to reach the junction of each staircase.

This corner is precisely the darkest place on the entire floor.If there are people passing face to face on both sides at the same time, it is easy to bump into them at the corner.

Every time Luo Wenxiu passed a corner, he would tighten his baton tightly, and imagined countless times of bumping into the "opponent" head-on... He didn't even know whether it was a human or a ghost that would appear on the other side.

Something that grew out of the darkness was hidden in the darkness, and a shadow that appeared at an unknown time was silently "watching" him in the corner.But it didn't seem to have any malicious intentions for the time being, so when Luo Wenxiu finally arrived at the door of the room at the scene of the murder, he didn't feel that he actually passed the shadow just now.
