Forensic room, second floor below.
Forensic doctor Wang Jingzhong walked out of the autopsy room and threw the gloves stained with blood and mucus into the designated trash can. Then he returned to the duty room and carefully washed his hands with water and disinfectant under the faucet.
While he was whistling, he heard the sound of a trolley rolling in the direction of the elevator. He turned around and saw two police officers pushing a body in a body bag to the door of the duty room.
"What's going on?" Forensic doctor Wang Jingzhong hadn't wiped his hands yet. He walked to the door of the duty room and asked in surprise: "How come it was shipped here directly? Why didn't I receive a call?"
One of the police officers said: "This is a prisoner who died unexpectedly in the solitary room of the Sheriff's Department just now. Because the distance was relatively close, we sent him here before we even called you."
Wang Jingzhong nodded, "Well, how did you die?"
"He was shot. He was shot directly by our police officer." Another police officer answered.
"Which Sheriff is so awesome? Shooting directly in the Sheriff's Office?" Wang Jingzhong said in a somewhat exaggerated tone.
"The new leader of the special task force seems to be named Guo."
"Special team?" Wang Jingzhong was a little surprised, "Just put it in the corridor first. I just washed my hands and asked Xiao Zhao and the others to transport it to the morgue later."
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone in the duty room rang. Wang Jingzhong returned to the duty room, picked it up and listened, and found that it was Li Naijing calling.
"Forensic Doctor Wang, don't touch the body! It may be dangerous!" Li Naijing said immediately, "Zhao Wenbo and I will come over right away!"
"Is there danger?!" Wang Jingzhong was stunned. He looked outside the duty room and found that the two police officers who pushed the body down were gone. He heard a ding from the elevator. It seemed that the two people had just entered the elevator that opened the door. .
"Please tell me clearly, what is the danger?" Wang Jingzhong asked in surprise.
"Anyway, don't touch the body, don't even get close to him, we'll be there right away!" Li Naijing said anxiously.
Wang Jingzhong hung up the phone and hurriedly chased out. He wanted to ask the two police officers to wait and at least stay with him here. If there was any danger, it would be easier to take care of them.
While shouting, he rushed to the elevator room and found that the elevator had already gone upstairs.
"This Li Naijing, she talks half-heartedly, which makes me feel very anxious."
For the first time in his history, Wang Jingzhong suddenly felt afraid of the corpse. Instead of returning to the duty room, he directly pressed the elevator call button and prepared to go up first.
After pressing the elevator call button, there was a crash not far from the corridor outside the stairwell behind him.
Wang Jingzhong was stunned and looked at the elevator. It seemed that the door was still closed and there was no sign of going down.
He took a few steps back, lying at the door of the stairwell and looking towards the place where the sound came from outside the corridor. That direction happened to be where the newly pushed body was parked.
I saw that the body bag was placed quietly on the push bed without any movement, but there was clearly a noise just now.
While he was thinking about it, he saw the body bag suddenly bulge, as if the person inside turned his arm and pushed up the outside of the body bag.
Wang Jingzhong shivered with fright. He suddenly felt the same way he had when he saw the whole skin mother body, that is, Jiang Guirong's corpse, moving in the surveillance video.
But this one is more real, because this time I didn't see it in the video, but right under my nose.
Not only that, Li Naijing made it very clear just now not to get close to him, and the corpse was very dangerous.
He immediately turned back and ran towards the elevator door. At this time, the elevator was already indicating that it was going down.
In the corridor behind him, a huffing sound was heard, which was the sound of the zipper of the body bag being unzipped.
"Fuck!"
Wang Jingzhong's lips trembled as he kept pressing the button to call the elevator.
The elevator came down and reached the negative floor.
From behind, there was the sound of the push bed hitting the corridor wall, and then the dull sound of feet landing, snap, snap, snap...
The voice didn't seem to stop and was heading in this direction.
In Wang Jingzhong's mind, he could imagine a corpse with a pale face, twisted limbs, and a crooked head, approaching step by step.
He quickly looked at the stairwell next to him, but soon gave up the idea of running up the stairwell.
First of all, my physical strength is not good, and I have already been in a sub-healthy state by staying up late for a long time. Now it is even more because of the fear, and the stairs are so dark. If I can’t catch my breath, I will easily fall on the stairs, not to mention the fall. , and it is very likely that he will be overtaken by this corpse.
Ding!
When the elevator reached the second floor, waiting for the door to open, Wang Jingzhong felt as if a century had passed.
The heavy footsteps from behind were getting closer and closer, and it sounded like the span of the footsteps was irregular, not walking in a normal way at all.
The elevator door finally opened, Wang Jingzhong stepped in, stretched out his hand and immediately pressed the door close button.
At this moment, in his eyes, at the wall leading from the elevator to the corridor, an arm in prison clothes stretched out and grabbed the wall at the corner. Then a man appeared in profile, his face extremely pale, his limbs He turned around stiffly and faced the elevator door.
At this moment, the elevator door closed.
Wang Jingxin was frightened and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. He was panting heavily. He was not sure if the corpse saw him when it turned around just now.
But he could see that face clearly.
After waiting for a while, I found that the elevator had not arrived yet.
Wang Jingzhong immediately looked up and saw that the floor displayed on the display was still on the second floor.
At the same moment, he could clearly hear the heavy footsteps coming slowly outside the elevator door, seeming to be approaching him.
He immediately looked down and found that he had only closed the elevator door and not pressed the elevator floor he wanted to go to.
This scene was so frightening that Wang Jingzhong almost flew out of his soul. His whole body was so weak that he panicked and desperately pressed the button for the next floor.
The elevator started to move upward.
The next second, Wang Jingzhong almost collapsed on the elevator floor. The moment he realized that he had not pressed the first floor button, he felt that even his life suddenly became gray.
Fortunately, although the corpse was close to the elevator door, it seemed that it would not press the elevator call button, otherwise the elevator door would have opened directly.
After the elevator reached the first floor, the moment the door was opened, Li Naijing and Zhao Wenbo were arriving.
"It's... below." Wang Jingzhong no longer looked as calm as before, and said feebly: "That corpse... was chasing me just now."
From now on, forensic doctor Wang, who used to be filled with passion immediately after seeing the corpse, finally lived his life and witnessed the walking of the corpse with his own eyes.
But from now on, he suddenly had an indelible shadow on the corpse.
From now on, whenever he wants to examine a corpse, he will not do it first without seeing a certificate issued by the special investigation team that the corpse is normal.
…
"He's escaped now, hasn't he?"
After the death row prisoner in this sealed room suddenly said something that made people think deeply, Guo Tianzhi stood outside the corridor and was stunned for a moment.
Li Naijing and Zhao Wenbo also had the same expression, but the three of them reacted immediately.
What the death row prisoner said was that Feng Kun still succeeded. He ran out of the sealed room, but in another way.
At the same moment, the walkie-talkie in Zhao Wenbo's hand rang, and Shen Xing's somewhat urgent voice came out.
"No, after Feng Kun was mentally controlled, he deliberately acted like a guard. The purpose was to leave the sealed room, no matter what the form, even if it was a dead body."
By implication, even if Feng Kun turns into a corpse, he can still be controlled to leave.
After listening to Shen Xing's words, the three of them felt their scalps numb. They did not expect that the message in the newspaper could not only control living people, but also the dead.
"Huh? This guy is pretty good. He actually guessed it!" The voice in the confinement room sounded curious and complimented Shen Xing casually.
Guo Tianzhi didn't think much and immediately arranged for Zhao Wenbo and Li Naijing: "Run to the forensic room as quickly as possible and inform the people over there to be careful!"
While talking, Zhao Wenbo and Li Naijing were already running towards the door.
Guo Tianzhi suddenly turned around, facing the solitary room who had been talking and chuckling, and said to an ordinary staff member next to him: "Give me the prisoner information list."
"No, I'll tell you directly. My name is Zhou Zhiyong. They said I committed a huge amount of fraud and ruined people's lives." The man in the solitary room chuckled and said, "What I want to say is that they are not greedy for money. They will go as far as Is this the next step? You want my large interest, I only want your principal, for the same reason."
"Isn't this guy suffering from brain atrophy?" Guo Tianzhi was stunned when he thought of this prisoner.
How can a person with a shrunken brain still think so quickly? It seems that he is much smarter than ordinary people, otherwise he would not have warned the investigation team just now that Feng Kun had escaped.
In the monitoring room.
Shen Xing stared at Zhou Zhiyong who was lying behind the door of the solitary room. This guy had been lying there in this position listening to the noise since the incident in the solitary room next door. He was obviously talking to Guo Tianzhi at the moment, and he could be seen grinning from time to time. .
The newspaper was opened and placed on the bed, but it was not opened to page six, but Shen Xing was sure that Zhou Zhiyong had also read the blank page just now.
Not long after, Guo Tianzhi returned to the monitoring room with a puzzled face.
Shen Xing didn't know what happened over there, especially Zhou Zhiyong's reminder and the conversation with Guo Tianzhi.
Guo Tianzhi did not hide anything and described everything that had just happened there to Shen Xing.
Shen Xing's first words were the same as Guo Tianzhi's, "Isn't this guy's brain atrophied?"
"Looking at it now, he seems to be very sober and thinking very clearly." Guo Tianzhi shook his head, "It doesn't look like he has brain atrophy at all. Has he been pretending to be sick in prison before?"
Shen Xing fell into silence and did not speak.
Not long after, Guo Tianzhi received a call from Li Naijing from the forensic room, telling him that Feng Kun's body over there had been solved.
As expected, Feng Kun's body began to move. After failing to arrest Wang Jingzhong, the forensic doctor began to climb up the stairwell, and was found by Zhao Wenbo and Li Naijing in the stairwell.
This guy's strength was so great that it was beyond ordinary people. Later, he was hit twice by the telescopic stick that turned on the ghost-killing mode, and then he collapsed to the ground with his hands and feet cuffed.
It seems that it is not yet known whether Feng Kun's body will move again, but people are trapped and it is impossible to leave even if they want to.
Guo Tianzhi temporarily felt relieved after increasing the manpower in the forensic room.
Shen Xingdao: "Zhou Zhiyong, the death row prisoner, now looks very suspicious. His physical examination data shows that there are signs of brain atrophy, but now he has no such symptoms at all. This is impossible."
After a pause, he added: "And he reminded you just now, don't you think it's weird? Only we know about the newspaper, and these death row prisoners don't know about it at all, so there is absolutely no reason for Zhou Zhiyong to escape by turning into a corpse. A reminder to get out, to get our attention.”
"You mean, when he said this, he knew that Feng Kun would escape as a dead body?" Guo Tianzhi asked.
"It's possible." Shen Xing nodded, "Otherwise, I don't believe that no matter how smart a person is, he can't guess that there is such an unreasonable way to escape in this world."
"What should we do now?" Guo Tianzhi didn't realize that he was completely following Shen Xing's train of thought.
Shen Xing pondered: "Maybe he showed it to us deliberately to make us curious about him before opening the door and going in."
"Are you trying to trick us into opening the door again?" Guo Tianzhi frowned.
Shen Xing sat on the sofa behind the monitoring room while thinking.
"The first victim was controlled to harm his family, but his family members killed him. The second victim strangled himself to death. The third victim ate the guests upstairs alive." Shen Xing secretly speculated, "The characteristic of these people after being controlled is that they are harming, either harming others or harming themselves."
After a pause, Shen Xing pondered inwardly, "Maybe it is looking for a brain that can suit its mental control, and the previous brains were not actually satisfactory works for it."
After a while, he stood up and said to Guo Tianzhi: "Send a walkie-talkie to Zhou Zhiyong's solitary room."
Guo Tianzhi looked at him, expecting Shen Xing to give an explanation, but Shen Xing said nothing.
Guo Tianzhi summoned the guards, "The three of you sent the walkie-talkies to Zhou Zhiyong's solitary room, brought the electric batons, and prepared the pistols. You can't be careless at all."
Not long after, three guards appeared in the video in the corridor.
One of them opened the door, another pointed a gun at the door, and then the other quickly threw the walkie-talkie inside.
Immediately, the door of the confinement room was quickly closed, and the three guards retreated without anything unusual happening.
In confinement room.
The man named Zhou Zhiyong walked over slowly. In the process, he still had some difficulty in moving, his limbs were not very coordinated, his head was slightly tilted, and drool was flowing out, showing a sign of brain atrophy.
Picking up the walkie-talkie on the ground, Zhou Zhiyong slowly turned around, looked at the surveillance camera, and pointed at the walkie-talkie.
Shen Xing pressed the intercom in his hand and said, "So you like mentally retarded people?"
