Li Huaiyun raised his hand to signal Liu Pingzhong not to panic.
He explained, "Master Liu, don't panic. I pressed too hard on the corpse's stomach just now. Since there is some air in it, squeezing it like this will cause the air to flow back, so the corpse's mouth is slightly It moved."
Liu Pingzhong breathed out and patted his chest gently, "So that's what happened. It scared me. This place is already eerie and scary. If you do it like this, anyone would panic."
"Then what did you find?"
Li Huaiyun shook his head, "We haven't found anything yet. Next, let's get the contents out of the stomach. Maybe there will be some clues!"
He put on the gloves, raised the dagger, took the stomach out of the body, and then placed it on the bucket. The bucket was already filled with half a bucket of blood, exuding a strong smell of blood.
Li Huai used a dagger to make an incision at the bottom of the stomach, then slowly opened the incision, and then inserted his fingers into the stomach to get out the undigested contents!
For ordinary people, this scene is quite disgusting. Liu Ping felt nauseated and made a sound of vomiting.
"Are you okay?" Li Huaiyun turned his head and glanced at him.
"It's nothing, I just feel sick!" Liu Pingzhong looked at the calm and composed Li Huaiyun with a look of admiration on his face, "I really didn't expect that you could bear it?"
"It's not bad. Maybe it's because you've been exposed to it too much, or you've seen it too much. These situations are pretty good. If you really want to encounter the kind of body that is completely mutilated, you still need to restore the body parts to their original appearance. When the time comes, , you will only collapse more."
Liu Pingzhong frowned tightly, he no longer dared to think about the scene he just described.
Li Huaiyun took out the contents from the stomach and placed them on the wooden board near the corpse.
In addition to some undigested food, there are also some incense sticks, red dates, longan, lotus seeds, and a little white liquid, which exudes a smell of alcohol. Even the strong smell of blood and rot cannot cover up this smell. odor.
Liu Pingzhong turned his head and just glanced at the contents of the bucket, feeling disgusted. He frowned and looked at Li Huaiyun, who was staring at the bucket intently.
This kid is really special, he has really adapted to this nauseating situation! This is so surprising!
From this point of view, his aunt should be quite strict with him in order to have such determination.
"How could these things be in the stomach of the deceased? There are even incense and candles, and most of the things are still raw."
"You should have swallowed it yourself!"
Li Huai used his hands to pull the corpse's jaw open, then put the oil lamp to his mouth and looked inside carefully.
Some incense candle residues were also found throughout the mouth, in the teeth and throat, and most of these were swallowed directly, so there must be some blood stains in the esophagus of the throat. "
"This is somewhat close to my guess!"
Liu Pingzhong asked curiously, "How could a normal person eat these things? Could it be that someone forced him to swallow those things?"
"Indeed," Li Huaiyun frowned in thought, "What makes people wonder is why they force people to swallow those things and incense candles?"
"This...!" Liu Pingzhong also had doubts on his face. Indeed, as Li Huaiyun said, no one would eat those things on weekdays, let alone incense candles.
"There is a hint of weirdness in this case. We should go to the scene to conduct a more in-depth analysis."
"Indeed!" Li Huaiyun felt a little disappointed, "What a pity! If I could dress up as a watchman, I might be able to follow the ghost and have a chance to meet him. However, this ghost is extremely wary of monster hunters, so this method won't work."
He walked to the window and glanced at the bright moon hanging high in the night sky, "I wonder if there will be any problems if the watchman passes by that street today!"
Liu Pingzhong said, "No need to wait, there shouldn't be any problems. Many watchers died in this case. Currently, there is a shortage of manpower in the watch department. Therefore, the monster hunters have been monitoring this street and have dedicated people." Looking at the watchman, it has been almost five or six days since the last case, and this ghost has not come yet."
Li Huai used his strength to pinch his forehead, with an annoyed look on his face, "This ghost is quite smart and knows how to avoid the Demon Slayer Division."
At this moment, he suddenly thought that the watchman mentioned in the file was lucky enough to survive. Isn't this the best witness?
"Master Liu, isn't there a watchman who survived? Let's start with this person. Maybe we can learn something more from this person's mouth."
Liu Pingzhong was also helpless about this, "He is still alive, but his mental state is quite poor and he has become a little nervous."
"Now that there is no breakthrough in the case, this person is probably the last hope. We must try no matter what."
"It's already a quarter past three o'clock and it's not far from dawn. It's too early for us to go find the watchman. If we go to the street, we won't encounter that ghost. Besides, it's dark outside. Why don't we go back and have a good rest first? Wait an hour or two before setting off."
At this moment, a guard walked in quickly and said, "Master Liu, the patrol found another body this morning. After the Department of Punishment conducts an autopsy, it will be handed over to us for processing."
Liu Pingzhong cursed in a low voice. He also thought about going back to rest for a while to recharge his batteries. This time, he didn't need to recuperate, so he just got to work.
"Is it the watchman?"
"No! Ordinary people! Businessmen who live not far from each other on the street."
Li Huaiyun held the oil lamp and glanced at the ground. He found that there was still room on the ground and said loudly, "Bring him in and put him here."
He said to Liu Pingzhong, "It seems that there is no need to rest. After the examination of this body is completed, we can go directly to the watchman who was lucky enough to survive."
"This damn ghost is really annoying!" Liu Pingzhong was clearly very angry.
The two guards carried the body that was placed on the wooden board and covered with white cloth, and then placed it where Li Huaiyun pointed.
As soon as the corpse was placed, Li Huaiyun could smell the strong smell of alcohol coming from the corpse before he even squatted down.
Liu Pingzhong turned sideways, shook his head and pinched his nose, "Such a strong smell of alcohol. How much alcohol has this guy drank?"
Li Huaiyun also couldn't stand the smell. The smell of alcohol in the air, the rotten smell of the corpses here, and the musty smell of the wood in the house. The three smells mixed together, irritating. The smell in the nose is even more unbearable.
He knelt down and lifted up the white cloth. The twisted face of the corpse suddenly appeared in front of him, which shocked people. The wrinkles on the face were extremely deep, as if they were carved with a knife.
Liu Pingzhong stood behind him, saw the face of the corpse, frowned, and then turned his head, "Looks like this, is he another one who was scared to death?"
"Most likely, yes, but this guy is wearing a groom's suit like this?"
"Ah! Groom's uniform?" Liu Pingzhong turned his eyes to the corpse again, and then he saw that the corpse was actually wearing a red official uniform. "Judging from the guy's age, he should be over forty years old! He's already You have started a family and started a business, and at the age when your children and grandchildren are born, why are you still wearing a groom's clothes? It seems that you are preparing for a wedding."
"Most likely!"
"Looking at the situation, the person getting married must be the bride in red who appeared on the street."
"I'm afraid we just got married not long ago."
Li Huaiyun suddenly became energetic when he thought of this, "Yes! Not long after the wedding, there will definitely be some remaining clues near this street. When the time comes, follow these clues and you will be able to find the ghost bride."
When they left the Demon Slayer Division, the sky turned white, and the mountains in the distance were slowly covered with a layer of gold.
He and Liu Pingzhong stayed in the morgue for almost midnight. Later, another corpse was delivered. It was not a watchman, but an ordinary citizen. Therefore, they were busy all the time and had no chance to rest at all.
They are now going to the home of the surviving watchman. That person who escaped death must have seen this ghost! Whether this case can be solved depends on whether we can get enough clues from this person.
Liu Pingzhong took Li Huaiyun to a breakfast shop and ordered a basket of steamed buns and tofu pudding. The two of them ate at a table on the street.
Li Huaiyun asked while eating, "Is this person's mental state stable now?"
"Stable, rather stable, but occasionally he continues to go crazy. Apparently that ghost puts too much pressure on his heart! If he really gets sick, he will have hallucinations and auditory hallucinations, and a doctor will have to come to stabilize this person's mood. .”
"This situation looks quite bad!" Li Huaiyun said, "If the mental state is unstable, then the things asked are probably just the other party's images. This situation may cause our investigation direction to go astray!"
Liu Pingzhong had no doubts about this, "If that's the case, then why not wait until the other party's mental state improves a little before starting to ask!"
"With the uncertainty of onset, you can't be sure when or at what moment the other person will develop the disease. If you force the other party to explain, those words may not be reliable."
"Then what should we do?" Liu Pingzhong asked, "Should we ignore the caller, or should we go directly to the street to look for clues."
"Of course we have to start with this person. After all, he has experienced these things and must remember them very clearly."
Liu Pingzhong said loudly, "Aren't you worried about the consequences?"
"There is nothing to worry about," Li Huaiyun said. "It is better than nothing, like a headless fly. This may be a better result."
"Yes! This is the best opportunity!" Liu Pingzhong had already reminded him, and he quickly deleted the game icons in front of his desk.
"Maybe it's also the darkest moment!"
Li Huaiyun quickly drank the bean curd, and then followed Liu Pingzhong to the house of the watchman.
The night watchman lived in a small private house in the north of the city. He turned from the main road into an alley and then made several turns to get there.
Since there was no one to lead the way, the two searched for a long time and asked some people living nearby before they found the location of the house.
They asked the surrounding neighbors, and those people all said that in recent days, it had been uneasy and terrifying.
Because at night, miserable screams would be heard in private houses, as if they were a murder scene, so frightening that people nearby would not dare to sleep.
They had also reported it to the police, but when the police officers arrived, they pushed the door open and found nothing else. Only the watchman was there, hiding under the covers and screaming loudly.
Since the residents in the nearby area were suffering so much, they all wanted to move the night watchman away, which made people feel scared.
Li Huaiyun and Liu Pingzhong looked at each other.
"Listening to the description, the person who called the watcher may have remembered what happened very clearly, otherwise it would be impossible for him to behave like this."
"I think so too!"
"Go up and ask!" Li Huaiyun came to the house. He used Zhanzhan Qi Technique, and then knocked on the door with his hand, "Is there anyone there?"
He knocked several times in succession, but there was no response. Just when he was about to knock on the door directly, a weak response came from inside, "Who?"
"Demon Slayer Division!"
