Looking at the corpse in front of me, I stopped for a while. No matter which way it is judged, the body has been built into the wall for at least more than a year, but I only saw Wu Yue a week ago. If this is Wu Yue's body, who am I seeing? Hasn't DNA identification confirmed that the person is Wu Yue
"Amu! Amu! How long are you going to be in a daze?" Yuetong squeezed my arm so hard that I jumped up in pain. When she saw me coming back to her senses, she asked again, "What the hell happened to you?"
"It's alright, I just remembered something strange." Although this matter was bizarre, I thought there must be something wrong, so I planned to let Li Xi clarify the matter first, so I went to him and asked He explained the origin of the body.
"I didn't kill him. Although I know the beginning and the end of the matter, I never touched it from beginning to end..." Although his body trembled slightly, his tone was very calm, and he slowly told us the origin of the corpse—
This happened three years ago. At that time, Xiao Wu was the workshop director of our company's stereotyping workshop. He is very skilled and has artistic talent. When ordering, it was specified that he would personally handle it. Although he is indeed impeccable at work, his personality is not very good, and he is too arrogant. He relied on some of his own skills to be arrogant, and he didn't even care about Lao Liang and me. He had to take care of all the affairs in the company. I don't care, I will accept good opinions, and bad opinions can be used as a reference, but Lao Liang has a big temper and always quarrels with him all day long.
I still remember that the day of the accident was the day before the National Day holiday. That night, Lao Liang and the accountant Lao Yang were in the office to handle some accounting work together. After the work was done, we sat around the coffee table drinking tea and chatting when Xiao Wu suddenly burst in.
Xiao Wu usually breaks into the office like this. Although it is a bit rude, I have long since seen it. But Lao Liang's temper is not as good as mine. As soon as he saw Xiao Wu barging in, he stood up and yelled at him. Lao Yang and I managed to get him to sit down.
Lao Yang greeted Xiao Wu to sit down and asked him what he was doing when he came in. He first said that the food in the cafeteria was not good, then he said that his salary was too low, and then he said that there were too few vacations. Lao Liang came when he heard the anger, and quarreled with him again. Later, Lao Liang was out of breath for a while, picked up the ashtray from the coffee table and smashed it on his head, killing him.
Although I knew that Lao Liang was just out of breath for a while and he didn't mean to kill, but it scared me at the time. He knew that Xiao Wu was dead, so he stared at me and Lao Yang fiercely, asking us to keep the secret and help him dispose of the body, otherwise he would kill us together. Lao Yang and I were afraid that he would be red-eyed, and even we would not let it go, so we had to agree.
We had planned to hide the bodies in the storage room, because there were so many bodies stored there that no one would know about one more. However, later on, we thought that although there were many corpses there, they were all donated by foreign volunteers. The body and appearance were very different from those of the Chinese, and they could easily be discovered. Rather than leaving it there, it is better to directly taxidermy the corpse.
Therefore, we took advantage of the National Day holiday and there were no workers in the workshop, so we moved Xiao Wu's body into the workshop for dehydration, plasticization and other processes. After the process was completed, Lao Yang and I organized the employees in the dormitory to go to the movies, while Lao Liang took the opportunity to bring the body up and build it in the wall...
After listening to Li Xi's narration, I checked the corpse...or should be "human specimen". Although the corpse had undergone some changes after dehydration and plasticization, it was easy to find significant scars on the back of the head, which was initially determined to be caused by a blunt blow.
On the surface, although the situation of the corpse is not different from Li Xi's description, but after a little thinking, I found that there are many doubts, so I asked, "Where did Liang Xiong and Wu Yue sit at that time?"
Li Xi hesitated for a moment before answering: "Lao Liang is sitting in the center, and Xiao Wu is sitting across from him."
"That's weird, Liang Xiong's position is lower than yours, how could he take the main seat instead of leaving it to you?" I deliberately pretended to be confused.
He showed a far-fetched smile: "I've been rolling around in the workplace for so many years, do I still care about this little thing? And Lao Liang has worked with us for many years. I know his temper very well. He may be stronger in small things. But he will obey me in big matters."
"So that's how it is!" I pretended to be enlightened, and then asked again: "Then I don't understand even more, since he is sitting opposite Wu Yue, how could he smash Wu Yue's back of the head with an ashtray?"
There is no perfect lie in the world. To cover up a lie, you must tell another lie, but once you tell too many lies, you will definitely be seen through. Li Xi is now in a dilemma because he can no longer continue his lies and can only answer my question with astonished eyes.
"Although your lie is perfect, even the perfect lie will have loopholes." I lit a cigarette and pointed out his mistakes and omissions one by one: "First of all, if Liang Xiong was sitting opposite Wu Yue at the time, he would not have been able to. Breaking the back of Wu Yue's head can only break Wu Yue's forehead; secondly, although Liang Xiong was a plasterer before, he could build Wu Yue's body in the wall alone, but even if he can hide it from other employees, he can't hide it from you. Third, you, Liang Xiong and Yang Zhong are the manager, factory manager and accountant of the company respectively. You are all administrative staff, and you may not be fully familiar with the operation of the workshop, so how could you dehydrate Wu Yue's body? Plasticized?"
I threw the cigarette on the rubble and stomped it out, and said sternly, "Combining the above three points, I can be sure that it was not Liang Xiong who sat in the chair at that time, but the president of your company, Huo Huachen!"
According to the information I have at hand, Huo Huachen, the president of Rock Company, is the founder of the company, and he also introduced the bioplasticization and other technologies used by the company, which means that he understands the full set of dehydration and plasticization operations. If he was not present at the time, Li Xi and others could not make the corpse into a human specimen at all. However, if he had been present at the time, with his identity and status, he would definitely not have put himself at risk for a mere factory manager. Unless, Wu Yue was killed by him, perhaps at his behest. I think the latter is more likely.
Li Xi's despairing expression confirmed my speculation, at least this case must be related to Huo Huachen, so I said to him, "Now you can ask your boss to come out." There was a murder case in the company, but the president didn't show up. This can't help but make me feel curious, maybe this Huo is always hiding on purpose.
"He, he's not in the company..." Li Xi, who always made me feel calm and composed, stuttered. He was obviously lying. However, even if he doesn't want to tell us where Howard is, there's no need to be so alarmed, there must be something different about this. In order to test my idea, I decided to carry out a carpet search for this place, which covers an area of more than 10,000 square meters.
"Yang, tell your subordinates, let's turn this place upside down, I don't believe we can't find the person we're looking for!" Li Xi immediately collapsed to the ground as soon as he said this, although I didn't know him Why, but I know that the search is bound to pay off.
We have already investigated the dormitory, except for the room where the body was found, there is no abnormality in other places, so we focus on the office building and workshop.
Miaomiao has recovered her spirits after leaving the dormitory, but when I asked about what happened just now, she actually said that she had no impression, as if she had a dream. God, how did she squeeze into the conspiracy team
I can't remember, anyway, we have already found the body, and what we have to do now is to dig up Huo Huachen. There are many office floors and many rooms, so I asked Ayang and his subordinates to search, while Yuetong and Miaomiao, I went to search the workshop. A Yang was afraid that we would be in danger, so he asked Cai Ming to walk with us. After all, there was no Zhen Zhen by his side. In case of danger, I really didn't have any other tricks besides running away.
A group of us walked into the spacious and dark workshop. Perhaps because there was not a single employee, it gave people an eerie feeling. Even though the lights were turned on, we still felt a faint chill. The workshop is divided into upper and lower floors, and there are more than ten large and small workshops, most of which are filled with semi-finished human specimens. Because of her cowardice, Miao Miao did not dare to look at these disgusting corpses. As soon as she entered the workshop, she hid behind me, pulled the corner of my clothes, and buried her face behind my back. Fortunately, she didn't faint this time.
We searched every workshop carefully, except for those disgusting corpses in artistic coats, we found nothing unusual, nor did we find Huo Huachen. However, our search is not over, as there is an even more eerie basement below the workshop.
As far as I know, this basement is used to store bodies, and Yang Zhong, the company's accountant, is suspected of committing suicide here. In fact, I should have come here to investigate a long time ago, but there are too many things to do recently, so I have never set foot here. I thought it was a cold storage, but when I entered, I found that the temperature was not very cold, just a little lower than outside. This is a basement after all, so this temperature difference is normal.
After the lights came on, the first thing that entered the eyes were white metal boxes about two meters long, more than one meter wide and one meter high. These metal boxes filled the entire basement in an orderly manner. I thought the metal boxes would be a little taller, because it's hard to imagine how Yang Zhong fell into it and drowned.
When I think of Yang Zhong's bizarre way of dying, and the fact that these metal boxes are filled with corpses soaked in formalin, I feel horrified and want to leave this disturbing place immediately. However, at this moment I cannot leave because I have to search the place carefully.
This coward Miaomiao can't help, she just hides behind me and trembles, I can only search this basement like a cemetery with Yuetong and Cai Ming. Although I expected that Miaomiao couldn't help, what I didn't expect was that she would drag us down, and she, who had been following me, suddenly collapsed for no reason.
I quickly picked up her soft and delicate body and asked her what happened? She slowly raised her finger to the wall deep in the basement and said feebly, "He told us to go in..."
"He? Who is he?" I looked up and there was no one alive except the four of us.
However, no matter how I asked Miaomiao, her answer was only one: "He told us to go in..."
Yue Tong seemed to notice the difference, and immediately walked to the wall and tapped the wall with the back of her finger, and then kept groping around, not knowing what she was looking for. After a while, she turned her head and said helplessly: "There seems to be a passage behind this wall, but I can't find the mechanism to open the passage."
I smiled and said, "That's not easy to do. Let A Yang come over to stretch his muscles and bones. It's not the first time." Anyway, the wall of the dormitory has been demolished, and evidence of the crime has been found, even if it is demolished a few more sides. Wall, the boss may not catch me to lecture.
After calling A Yang, it didn't take long for him to come, and this time he was a good student, bringing two subordinates with fire axe. These two guys with too much energy, under Yue Tong's instructions, didn't spend much time punching a hole in the wall. The hole was a dark passage, but there was light at the end of the passage. I think Huo Huachen must be hiding here.
After all of us passed through the dark passage, we reached a bright and open space, where a fat man about fifty years old saw us with panicked eyes. Although I saw him for the first time, I knew that he must be Howard Huo, and I also knew the reason for his panic, that is, the poppies blooming in front of him...
