The appearance of this body made the air in the room suddenly become colder.
This place has been abandoned for at least ten years. How come there are corpses?
Even if someone really died here before, the body would have been completely rotten, right?
Ning Qiushui patted Liu Chengfeng on the shoulder and signaled him to retreat. She squatted where Liu Chengfeng had squatted just now, and used a strong flashlight to shine on the body under the bed, inspecting it carefully.
The skin of the corpse was pale and cold, with no body spots and no signs of stench.
Ning Qiushui stretched out her hand towards the corpse and saw Liu Chengfeng's eyelids twitching behind him. He quietly took out a few talismans and stared nervously at the corpse on the ground.
Fortunately, this is just an ordinary corpse.
No transformation occurred.
Ning Qiushui played with the corpse for a while before saying:
"The deceased had no visible wounds, but the bones in his limbs and spine were all broken due to external force."
"The time of death was no more than eight hours, and the joints were not completely stiff."
At this point, Ning Qiushui's tone changed.
"Of course, compared to these...there is something even weirder."
Liu Chengfeng said curiously:
"What's up?"
Ning Qiushui pointed the bright flashlight under the bed where the body had been hidden. There were only traces of dust dragging there.
"This heavy rain started more than ten hours ago. It stands to reason that when this person died, it was already raining heavily outside..."
"But look, he's not wearing a raincoat, and there's no trace of moisture on his body."
Liu Chengfeng also bent down and touched the clothes of the corpse.
Very dry.
No trace of moisture at all.
"Really..."
he muttered.
Ning Qiushui stood up and thought:
"This shows that the deceased was probably already in this building before the heavy rain started..."
As he spoke, his eyes glanced at the mobile phone tightly clutched in the deceased's hand.
The screen of the mobile phone was covered with cracks, as if it had been hit hard and was no longer usable.
"He should have accomplices in this orphanage."
Hearing this, Liu Chengfeng scratched his head and said:
"How can you tell this?"
Ning Qiushui pointed to the mobile phone in the deceased's hand and said:
"In an emergency, a cell phone has only three functions."
"First, ask for help."
"Second, lighting."
"Third, attack."
"Based on the circumstances of his death, it was clear that he was killed by unnatural forces during his lifetime, and the way he held the phone clearly did not mean to use it to attack anyone."
"In this case, it's either call for help or light."
"Based on the degree of rigor mortis, the time of his death was probably between 8 and 12 a.m. Although it started to rain heavily at that time, it was still daytime after all, and the house was old-fashioned and had good lighting, so he wouldn't have to rely on his mobile phone. Come to light.”
"To sum up, the deceased most likely encountered an unknown attack before his death. While escaping, he hid under the bed in this room, took out his mobile phone and called for help from his companions, but in the end he was attacked by something. ’ He was found, and then he died miserably here.”
Liu Chengfeng suddenly realized.
"Fuck...little brother, your mind is spinning so fast!"
Then, his expression became solemn again.
"But... who on earth would run into Niaoshan Town without any trouble?"
Ning Qiushui's eyes flickered.
"Hard to say."
"Maybe it's someone like me who has been cursed and wants to come over and investigate the truth."
"It could also be...someone with evil intentions."
As he was talking, his cell phone suddenly rang.
Ning Qiushui swiped the screen to take a look.
It's "Mole".
After the hands-free connection, the heavy voice of "Mole" came from the other end of the phone.
"Hey... found it?"
"Well, I haven't checked everything yet, but there is already some information that may be useful to you..."
"Mole" didn't waste any time and directly informed Ning Qiushui of the results of his investigation:
"Things are very strange. About twenty years ago, the children transferred from the "Sunflower Welfare Home" mysteriously disappeared one after another. There was no news after that. I tracked down 9 children in a row, and they were all like this..."
When Ning Qiushui heard this, his expression changed.
"So many people have disappeared. Is there no record at the police station?"
The other end of the phone said:
"A special case has been filed for a long time. The police department is still pursuing it today, but there is no clue. Moreover, because this matter is related to that special massacre case, in order not to spread panic, the information has been temporarily withheld. Only part of it has been concealed. Those in the know.”
"Qiushui, why do you suddenly start to care about these old cases?"
Ning Qiushui was silent for a moment:
"A little... personal reasons."
"Well, I understand. I'll check the other children. Maybe I can find something... I'll contact you later."
"good."
After hanging up the phone, Ning Qiushui and Liu Chengfeng next to him looked at each other and shrugged.
The latter's face became serious and ugly.
The intermittent sound of nursery rhymes in my ears continues——
"The stars in the sky are twinkling, don't be afraid, baby... there's another one coming out of the water, smiling at everyone..."
This hollow and immature nursery rhyme sent chills down the spine. Just above the building where the two of them were, this song kept singing...
At first glance, it seemed like there were dozens of children.
"Brother, these singing children...aren't they the missing children?"
Liu Chengfeng said solemnly.
"It's possible."
Ning Qiushui stuffed another piece of chewing gum into her mouth.
"If it were really those children...who would have brought them back here?"
