When Song Jiang and Meng Zhe rushed to the door of Xu Che's house, they found many stray cats lying in front of the door. As soon as they saw Song Jiang and Meng Zhe, they all got up and meowed at them, as if urging them to hurry in...
Song Jiang didn't have time to think about it and immediately knocked on the door. As a result, he knocked for a long time but there was no response. If it weren't for so many wild cats gathering at the door, would Song Jiang really think that there was no one at home? !
And under normal circumstances, even the neighbors would come out to take a look when Song Jiang was banging on the door so crazily, but there has been no movement at the door opposite Xu Che's house... Meng Zhe saw that Song Jiang was a little anxious, so he pulled him aside, and then left without saying a word. He kicked the door open directly.
As soon as the door opened, a dull smell mixed with putrid smell hit his face. Song Jiang ignored the bad smell and walked in quickly... The light in the room was extremely dim, and the curtains were all drawn, not a single breath could penetrate. bright.
Meng Zhe, who followed closely behind, walked in with a frown on his face. He was immediately turned blue by the smell in the room. He knew that this unpleasant smell represented death, which meant that someone in this family had died. .
Song Jiang knew that Xu Che's father had been paralyzed in bed for many years, and his mother had bad legs and could not go out. However, the house was indifferent to the loud noise he had just knocked on, which only meant that the two elders might not be well. .
Sure enough, when Song Jiang pushed open the door of Xu Che's parents' bedroom, he saw the two elders lying motionless on the bed, while another small figure was curled up between the bedside table and the wardrobe, watching expressionlessly. on the ground.
Upon seeing this, Song Jiang hurried forward to check and found that Xu Che's parents' faces were black and blue. They had been dead for an unknown period of time, and the rotten stench filling the room also came from the corpses of their two elders...
Song Jiang looked back at the small figure at this time, and then softly called his name, "Xu Che...?"
The other party was still staring at the ground motionless, indifferent to Song Jiang's call. It wasn't until the big raccoon flower jumped out of nowhere and called out "meow" that he slowly came back to his senses and looked up at Song Jiang and Song Jiang. Meng Zhe.
Xu Che seemed to have expected that Song Jiang and the others would come. He grinned and said, "You are here... They are dead. I don't know what to do. I can only sit here and wait for you to come."
"Are you just waiting like this? What if we don't come?! Didn't I give you my mobile phone number? Why didn't you call me?!" Song Jiang asked reproachfully.
After hearing this, Xu Che's smile froze on his face, and then he explained in a panic, "I ruined the piece of paper with the phone number written on it... The two of them died for some reason, and I obviously just went out to buy it. When I came back, I found that they were not breathing. I don’t know why this happened. They shouldn’t have died so early, right? I have been able to smell death on people since I was a child. If they were really about to die, I would definitely know. , why did they die suddenly?!"
Song Jiang saw that something was wrong with Xu Che's state, so he immediately walked over and knelt down, gently put his hand on his shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid...just leave the rest to us."
Xu Che was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid... I just don't understand. Although they are so old, they shouldn't die now?! Why?! I haven't let them know who I am. I can live a good life, I didn’t even say goodbye to them properly! Grandma Du is like this too, why is it always like this?! Why?! Is it because of me? I brought bad luck to them?!"
Seeing that Xu Che was getting more and more excited as he talked, Song Jiang quickly hugged him and said, "Xu Che! Calm down... Even if you can't say goodbye to them, their souls have not gone far, don't you want them to feel at ease? ?Then you have to learn to be strong, understand?"
Xu Che smiled bitterly after hearing this and said, "I have never cried since I was born. Doesn't this count as strong?"
Upon hearing this, Song Jiang said patiently, "This is not strength, it's just a small flaw of yours. Have you calmed down now? If there is no problem, I will check on your parents first."
After hearing this, Xu Che raised his eyes and looked at the two corpses on the bed and said, "I feel like they died abnormally..."
At this time, Meng Zhe walked to the bed with a solemn face and said, "From the surface of the body, there should be no wounds. I can't feel that the deceased suffered any pain before death. I cannot rule out the possibility of natural death..."
Song Jiang retorted after hearing this, "Did the old couple die of natural causes together?!"
"What's impossible about this? It's not like old couples who have a good relationship die one after another... Sometimes one of them is gone, and the other's will will collapse instantly. If a person doesn't have the slightest desire to live, Motivation may die naturally." Meng Zhe said in a deep voice.
Song Jiang looked helplessly at the body on the bed, then turned around and opened all the curtains in the room, and then opened the windows one by one. The fresh air from outside rushed in instantly, and the room was finally not as breathless as before. …
Then he took out his mobile phone and called Wu Lei, "Are you busy now?"
"I just got off work...what? Do you want to treat me to dinner?" Wu Lei said with a smile.
Song Jiang was not in the mood to joke with him, and said in a serious tone, "I will send you the location now, and you can come over right away..."
When Wu Lei heard this, he knew something must have happened, so he quickly asked, "What happened?"
"Remember the little boy who broke into the police station alone? His parents are dead. I want you to come over and take a look at the body first..." Song Jiang said in a deep voice.
After hearing this, Wu Lei drove over without saying a word. When he saw the bodies of the old couple, he was slightly startled, and then he immediately put on rubber gloves and did a preliminary inspection of the bodies...
After finishing the work, Wu Lei raised his head and said, "The two deceased people have been dead for about three days. The room temperature in the house is generally relatively high during this season, so it speeds up the decay of the corpses. From the surface, I prefer He died of natural causes...but do we need to go back for a detailed autopsy to rule out any signs of poisoning?"
When Song Jiang heard that the old couple had been dead for three days, he quickly looked at Xu Che and said, "Have you not eaten in the past few days?!"
After hearing this, Xu Che raised his head blankly and said, "Oh... I forgot."
"Can you forget to eat?!" Song Jiang said with disbelief.
Xu Che shrugged and said, "Well, I just forgot."
Song Jiang didn't know what to say for a while, so he turned to look at Meng Zhe and said, "Take him downstairs to have something to eat first. The other two elders haven't finished their funeral affairs yet. Their precious son Just starved to death.”
