Chapter 66 - Eating human flesh?
Before I could turn around, I saw the scene behind me. The goosebumps all over my body were exploding.
The body had come up behind me, its bloody face tilted to one side, its glazed eyes still oozing blood.
I lifted my leg to kick away the dead body, anxious to feel for my bag, only then did I remember that I was wrapped up in Zhao Qi's car after touching the empty bag.
I was really anxious, I didn't expect that someone who had just died would turn into a corpse.
Even if he hadn't brought a bag with him, he could have stopped the corpse according to the method on the tattered book. But it was either a drop of blood on the tip of the tongue or a piss or something like that.
As soon as I saw the broken wire attached to the spotlight, I kicked off the dead body again and ran over to grab the wire. I circled the body twice and kicked him down from behind.
Seeing that the situation was critical, Zhao Qi fearlessly jumped off the stage, holding onto the curtain as he slid down.
"Help step on him!" I anxiously shouted to Zhao Qi.
Zhao Qi lifted his leg and stepped on the back of the corpse and asked, "How did this happen?"
I ignored him and looked around.
"Meow!"
Hearing the cat meow, I immediately looked towards the direction of the sound.
On one side of the stage, a girl in a black T-shirt and jeans was stepping back, holding onto a black cat's beak.
I grabbed the cat and ran back to the corpse. I held the black cat by the nape of the neck with one hand and grabbed the cat by the tail with the other.
"Meow, meow …"
The black cat let out a blood-curdling screech.
The dead body that was stepped on by Zhao Qi was originally still struggling, but when it meowed, it immediately stopped moving.
I carried the black cat to the girl.
The girl looked at the cat with tears in her eyes, wanting to snatch it back but not daring to. She could only say in an aggrieved manner, "Little Black is very obedient, why are you doing this to it?"
"Why are there cats here?" I asked.
The girl's tears fell, "We will perform in the morning, I will bring Little Black here as a guest."
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry and gave the cat back to her.
The girl took the black cat and ran away crying.
Guo Sen led his men and rushed to the scene, pulled up the security cordon and started to investigate.
Because it was a murder case that had just occurred, Ma Li heard about the fraud and didn't allow me to participate in the on-site inspection.
Zhao Qi pulled me backstage and gave me a cigarette. He also lit one for himself.
"What happened just now?"
"Would you believe me if I said it was a reflex?"
Zhao Qi looked at me without saying a word.
I took a drag on my cigarette and rubbed my forehead.
"People say that if a person is able to survive, a tree would live up to a layer of skin. When a person died, he would exhale. If there is a cat or dog that just took a breath of air, the dead body will feel resentment, and the corpse will be faked. "
Zhao Qi nodded his head, then asked: "Then why did you pull the cat?"
I said, "If it were any other cat, it wouldn't be so easy to deal with. The black cat has spiritual feet and knows that breath is not his. If it was afraid of pain, it would immediately spit it out." If you write a report, just say that static electricity triggers an abnormal reflex in the nerves of the body. "
"Bro, you doctors know this stuff?" a voice asked.
Turning his head, he saw Sang Lan and Pan Ying walking over.
"Who died?" I asked.
Sang Lan replied, "His name is Li Qingyuan, he's a classmate of our department."
"Then, what did you say, Miaomiao died?" I couldn't help but ask.
Pan Ying grinned: "He's a student from Korea, and is also handsome. We all call him Professor behind his back."
When I saw her crying like nothing had happened, I couldn't help but ask curiously, "You like him?"
Pan Ying stared blankly for a moment, then shook her head with all her might: "No, he's not my type of dish. I'm the same as you, I like girls."
"Like girls?" This time it was my turn to stare.
She hugged Sang Lan and smacked Sang Lan's face. Then, she smirked evilly and said:
"Don't say that I didn't remind you, Sang Lan is very popular, there are men chasing after him every day. Li Qingyuan is also a fervent pursuer of Sang Lan's. A few days ago, he was publicly begging her with a rose in his hands. "
"What nonsense are you spouting?" Sang Lan pushed her away with a blushing face.
Zhao Qi looked at me, and asked Sang Lan: "You rejected Li Qingyuan?"
Sang Lan was startled, then nodded: "I don't like him."
Zhao Qi looked in the direction of the stage and muttered, "A dead person falling together with the chandelier, this really has the meaning of an opera's Phantom Shadow.
"Huh?" Sang Lan and Pan Ying both widened their eyes in shock.
Seeing my confused expression, Sang Lan forced himself to explain to me that she was the female villain, Carlotta. According to the story, after Carlotta bullied the female lead, Phantom Shadow first turned her into a frog's voice, then hanged her body on the stage as well as smashed down the chandelier as a warning.
I shrugged my shoulders in disbelief. It wasn't a third-rate TV show.
Zhao Qi asked Pan Ying if she was there when the corpse fell.
Pan Ying said that she was right, and the next scene would be her stage. At that time, she was waiting at the side of the stage, watching the chandelier and corpses fall.
Zhao Qi nodded, and let her and Sang Lan go to the station to take their statement.
After returning to the station, just as I was about to return to the laboratory, Ma Li walked in from the outside and told me to grab the test kit to go with her to Huayang County.
Sang Lan grabbed onto me, stomped her feet and said: "If you leave, what should I do?"
I was stunned before I replied, "The Captain Zhao will make the arrangements."
I'm not surprised to see you on a business trip. Many small laboratories, because of their limited qualifications, apply to the neighboring cities for a temporary medical examiner.
Huayang County wasn't too far away from us. Ma Li and I sat in the station's car and arrived there in about an hour.
The body was examined by a hairdresser who had been strangled by P's.
Generally, those who were strangled wouldn't look too good. Their tongues were curled up in their mouths and their eyes were wide open from struggling. Two red lines like two red snakes wriggled across their grayish-purple faces.
I found two sets of skin tissue and blood samples from her fingernails, and after testing them, I determined that the person who'd been arrested was the killer.
Ma Li gave her acknowledgement and the work was considered completed.
Because they were in a hurry, neither of them had time for dinner. Looking at the time, it was already 9 in the evening. Ma Li immediately told her to treat me to a famous beef pot.
The two of them arrived at a small store. Ma Li did not even look at the menu and immediately ordered a half meat pot, two cold dishes and four bottles of beer.
I was so hungry that I started wolfing down the pot.
Ma Li shook her head as she watched. She took a big gulp of beer and said, "Little junior brother, quickly find a girlfriend, there's someone who can take care of you."
I smiled and clinked my glass with hers. "You also know that it's hard to find a suitable doctor for this kind of person. How about, I eat a small loss …"
Without waiting for me to finish speaking, Ma Li had already taken the stance of pouring wine at me, "Brat, if you dare say that you can make do with me, I'll pinch you to death!"
After the two of them had eaten their fill, it was already close to eleven o'clock when they returned to the guesthouse.
After greeting each other, I went back to my room.
After showering, I laid on my bed and thought about what Ma Li said during dinner. I couldn't help but sigh.
I'd like to have a girlfriend, but who should I go to?
Not to mention the older female police officers in the Bureau, they could make some harmless jokes. If I were to say that I was in a relationship, I definitely wouldn't be willing to do so.
When I saw the makeup artist Tang Xi at the crematorium that time, I was really tempted.
Even the makeup artist with a body had a boyfriend.
Wasn't her boyfriend afraid that one day they would get into a fight and wake up in the morning to look in the mirror and discover that he was wearing a dead man's makeup?
As I was thinking, my cell phone vibrated.
He picked it up and saw that it was a WeChat message.
Xiao Yu.
When I saw the heads of the two clay dolls, I suddenly became spirited.
It was raining and beating up children. Since he had nothing better to do, he might as well use this swindler to amuse himself.
Xiao Yu sent me a message: "Hello, do you remember me?"
I replied to her, 'Of course I remember.
The other party seemed to be typing very slowly. It took him a long time before he replied, 'Do you still remember my appearance?'
Without even thinking about it, I directly pressed the voice button. "You're so beautiful, how could I forget about you?"
It was a long time before she sent a voice message.
As soon as I clicked on it, I felt my heart warm.
It really was a woman. Her voice was very soft, and it neither made people feel bored nor it made them feel dull. It sounded very gentle, like the shy little sister next door.
What made me slightly excited was that she said,
"It's getting cold. Sleep well at night."
I said, "Thank you. You too."
Xiao Yu: "Hehe, I don't need to sleep under a blanket."
"Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?" I asked.
Xiao Yu: "No, I won't catch a cold. "Right, what do you like to eat?"
Without thinking, I said, "Meat."
Xiao Yu asked again, "What meat?"
At this point, I scratched my head. After eating in the canteen for three years, my mouth was already so rough that I couldn't remember what I wanted to eat.
I thought about it and said it was meat. I'm a carnivore.
This time, it took Xiao Yu a while to send a message: Do you eat human flesh?
