The man yelled at his subordinates: "Tomorrow there will be big leaders coming to inspect. If they find out that we have lost a body here, it will not be a trivial matter. Not to mention me, all of you will not be able to keep your jobs." Got it!"
In the middle of the scolding, the man suddenly saw Zhang Quan walking in with Lonnie and me, and his expression turned cold.
"Zhang Quan, what did you do? Such a big thing happened in the work unit, why are you still hanging out?"
"Also, who are these two people? We can't bring outsiders in and out at will. Have you even forgotten the basic rules?"
Zhang Quan quickly explained: "Director Zhao, these two are Mr. Cheng and Miss Lang from the Century Shroud Shop. They are here this time... specifically to help us find the missing bodies!"
It has to be said that Zhang Quan is indeed a good person. In order to avoid being reprimanded by the leader, he directly changed his story and said that we were here to help find the corpse.
"oh?"
Director Zhao glanced at Lonnie and me and asked suspiciously: "What is your relationship with Mr. Liao Baiquan?"
"Mr. Liao is our fellow practitioner. Because he has something to do at home, he asked me to help take care of the store these days."
I said calmly.
It seems that Liao Baiquan is indeed well-known in Bincheng. When Director Zhao heard that we and Liao Baiquan were fellow practitioners, his eyes suddenly lit up and his tone became extremely respectful.
"Oh, it turns out that these two are Mr. Liao's fellow practitioners, disrespectful, disrespectful!"
"Please ask two experts to help us find the missing body as soon as possible. In terms of reward, there is no problem!"
I waved my hand and said, "I can't guarantee yet whether the body can be recovered. Please tell us first how the body disappeared?"
"well!"
When Director Zhao heard this, he quickly had two chairs brought over, invited Lonnie and I to sit down, and then told us how the body disappeared.
It turns out that yesterday afternoon, the funeral home delivered the body of a man. He was said to be drunk and was hit by a passing car while walking at night in the middle of the road. The family members were out of town and could not come to claim it until three days later. corpse.
This is a common occurrence in funeral homes, so the staff did not take it seriously. They tagged the body and put it in the No. 41 refrigerator in the morgue, ready to be cremated after being claimed by the family.
Unexpectedly, a strange thing happened this morning.
As a rule, corpses stored in funeral homes must be counted every day to avoid omissions.
This morning, after two shift workers came to the morgue for inventory, they were stunned when they opened refrigerated cabinet No. 41.
The male body that was stored inside yesterday actually disappeared!
The loss of the body was a serious incident for the funeral parlor. The two of them did not dare to neglect and quickly reported to Director Zhao.
It happened to be an inspection by the leaders above, so after Director Zhao learned the news, he became anxious and got angry. While he had people searching around the entire funeral home, he also had people call out surveillance cameras to look for clues.
So there was a scene when we arrived at the funeral home and saw everyone running around in a hurry.
"Did you find any clues in the surveillance?
After listening to Director Zhao's story, I asked him.
"No,"
Director Zhao shook his head with a bitter look on his face: "Everything is normal under the surveillance system. I have searched all over the funeral home, but there is no trace of the male body. This is really evil!"
"Mr. Cheng, do you think the male corpse turned into a zombie and escaped?"
People who work in funeral homes have more or less experienced some supernatural events. It seems that Director Zhao also knew about the existence of zombies, so he blurted it out.
I waved my hand and said, "It shouldn't be possible. The formation of zombies requires a certain amount of environment and time. This male corpse just died yesterday and it was less than a day. It is impossible for him to turn into a zombie."
"I actually feel that this dead person may have become a living corpse!"
Director Zhao was stunned for a moment: "Living corpse, what is that?"
I explained: "The formation of living corpses is different from zombies. Generally, newly deceased people, under certain conditions, will cause a sudden increase in Yin Qi in the body, causing the corpse to resurrect, forming the phenomenon of living corpses."
"For example, many people have heard that if a black cat jumps over a corpse at night, it will cause corpse fraud. This is actually a magnetic field unique to black cats, which will disrupt the flow of Yin Qi in the corpse and cause the corpse to become a living corpse. .”
After my explanation, Director Zhao finally understood: "In your opinion, this male corpse turned into a living corpse and escaped?"
"This is not certain yet."
I thought for a moment and then asked: "Director Zhao, we want to check inside the morgue. Is it convenient?"
"What's the inconvenience? Well, Xiaolu Xiaojia, you two accompany Mr. Cheng and Miss Lang and go to the morgue to check it out!"
Xiao Lu and Xiao Jia are the staff who inspected the morgue today. If the male body cannot be found, they will also be punished. Knowing that I am here to help find the body, I naturally dare not neglect it.
"You two, please come with us."
After the two of them finished speaking, they led the way and led us into the morgue of the funeral home.
The morgue is in a room in the backyard of the funeral home. There is a copper lock on the outside. After Xiaolu opened the copper lock, he led us inside.
There is not much space inside the morgue. There is a row of refrigerated cabinets on the left side against the wall. This is where the corpses are parked.
I glanced around the morgue, then went straight to the refrigerated cabinet No. 41, stretched out my hand, and pulled the mortuary board out of the cabinet.
In order to preserve the corpse, the temperature inside the morgue is usually below 20 degrees. I saw that the morgue board was covered with a layer of ice and there was a layer of reddish-brown stuff on it with a stinky smell. This should be the corpse. Spilled plasma and body fluids.
But on the reddish-brown edge, there is also a dark greasy substance, making it difficult to distinguish.
Out of curiosity, I pressed lightly on the black surface and then withdrew my hand.
"Ni, look..."
I reached out my hand and said to Lonnie.
"This is...putty!"
Lonnie only took one look and immediately judged that the black ash on my palm was the putty left over after the corpse was burned!
However, the male corpse was not burned, so how could there be putty in the cabinet?
"Why is there putty on the morgue?"
I turned to Xiaolu and Xiaojia and asked.
The two of them were stunned for a moment. Xiaolu was the first to react and said quickly: "Mr. Cheng, this morgue contained a female corpse not long ago. The putty on the morgue should have been leftover when the female corpse was burned."
Female corpse? My pupils shrank: "What's the name of that female corpse?"
"Um, I remember what it was called..."
Xiaolu scratched his head, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "By the way, my name is Wang Yating!"
