"Hey, Amu, Zhen Zhen, you all came to me so early!"
Every time I come to the forensic doctor's office, Liu Nian always welcomes me with open arms. When the perennial stench of corpse comes from his body, I always have the urge to kick him away. However, no matter how he came to look for him to do business, he couldn't give him no face at all, so he had to dodge behind Zhen Zhen immediately to avoid getting his corpse odor.
"Damn, do you need to look like this to me!" He glared at me, then put on a smiling face, and warmly stretched out his hands, ready to shake hands with Zhen Zhen.
Zhen Zhen has been with me a lot, she already knew how to deal with this wretched forensic doctor, she immediately hid her hands behind her back and showed a polite smile: "Morning, Doctor Ye."
Fleeting Nian shrugged uninterestingly: "You are here for the case of the Provincial Academy of Fine Arts, right?"
I said angrily, "Why else would we come looking for you early in the morning!"
"I do remember a joke made by a junior brother." He smiled reluctantly.
Zhen Zhen asked curiously: "What kind of joke is it?"
"It's like this..." He pretended to smile mysteriously, "I have a junior brother who has a crush on a junior sister and wants to date someone but can't find an excuse, so I have to say to them: Hey, if you have time to see me tonight Corpse?"
"Don't you think this joke is rude?" Zhen Zhen glanced at him disdainfully.
"Well, it's really dirty, but isn't there someone using it now? Haha..." He suddenly laughed at me, obviously making fun of me for dating Zhen Zhen under the pretext of looking at the corpse.
After Zhen Zhen was stunned for a moment, she seemed to understand what he meant, although she didn't make a sound, her handsome cheeks suddenly turned red.
After joking, Liu Nian led us into the autopsy room, where we saw a corpse covered with a white cloth. Liu Nian specially reminded Zhen Zhen that the death of the deceased was terrifying, and told her to be mentally prepared.
The scene in front of me reminded me of the first case to be investigated after the establishment of the conspiracy team - the female ghost doctor. There are many similarities in these two cases. The three students who returned from the night were also attacked, and they were also suspected of being attacked by supernatural forces such as ghosts. But this time there were two survivors, not one.
"Are you ready?" Lienian said and lifted the white cloth.
Beneath the white cloth is the corpse of a naked young male with a fat body, giving people a feeling of Confucianism and power. If he's still alive, I'm sure I can't beat him, let alone kill him with his bare hands. However, at this moment, he was lying helplessly on the cold dissecting table, telling the pain before his death with the scars all over his body.
The body was covered with terrifying wounds. The left eyeball was missing on the livid cheek. The wound on the right forehead exposed the skull to the air. Judging from the shape, it should have been bitten. I could even see the tooth marks left on the skull. There is basically no complete skin from head to toe in the whole body. The scars left by teeth and nails cover the whole body. Although it has been cleaned, it is still shocking.
Among the many wounds, the most dreaded was the blood hole in the throat, which I thought was the fatal blow.
When Liu Nian was holding the report and was about to tell us about the deceased, Zhen Zhen suddenly flew to the trash can and "threw away" the breakfast in her stomach.
I shook my head helplessly: "I really don't know how you act as a detective."
Although she has dealt with many murder cases with me, her tolerance for disgusting things still needs to be improved.
Liu Nian shrugged and said, "Girls, it's normal to feel nauseated."
I nodded solemnly: "I understand this, it's not a one day thing to become a pervert like you... Damn, what do you want to do!" Liu Nian even draped the white cloth covering the corpse over my head.
After the fight, Liu Nian put on a serious expression and told us about the situation of the deceased: "The deceased Fang Shu, 22 years old, had 45 scratches on his body, and there were seven bite wounds, among which the wound on the throat was Fatal injury due to suffocation due to blood blocking the windpipe."
Looking at the terrible wound on the neck of the corpse, I frowned and asked, "Are you sure it was killed by the murderer?"
Liu Nian put down the report in his hand and replied angrily: "You can determine whether it is good or not without an autopsy."
This is indeed the case. Just from the blood hole on the neck of the corpse, we know that the deceased was killed by the murderer in the most primitive and brutal way. The question now is, is it possible for a normal person to do it? If the murderer is a beast, then there is no suspense in this case. But the question is is it possible for the weak Shen Tingyue to do it? Did she really become a "Shadow Corpse"
"What's the matter with this scar?" I noticed that there was a healed scar on the deceased's arm.
Liu Nian glanced at the arm of the deceased: "Judging from the degree of healing, it was probably made a month ago. It was probably scratched by something like a branch, and it should not be directly related to this case."
Mai Qinghe once said that when Fang Shu abused Shen Tingyue, his arm was scratched with a broken paintbrush. This scar proved from the side that he did not lie.
I told Liu Nian what I knew and asked for his opinion. He frowned and thought for a moment before answering: "I once heard of a case where a woman overturned a car weighing several tons with her bare hands in order to save her son from being crushed under the wheel."
"That's the case of a living person, but Shen Tingyue is probably dead," I said.
He shook his head and said: "This is not a question of life and death, but a question of potential. Human potential is unlimited, of course, to stimulate potential, certain conditions must be met. As long as potential can be stimulated, it is not impossible to surpass life and death. Haven't you noticed that in many TV dramas, even if some characters are seriously injured, they have to finish their words before they die? In fact, this is not necessarily because of poor screenwriters. In fact, a firm will can often make the dying person hold on for a while. This is a very common thing in the intensive care unit of a hospital. However, a situation like Shen Tingyue seems to have lasted too long. Perhaps, there can be other explanations... "
I threw a cigarette at him and urged him, "Don't give a shit, just say whatever comes to your mind!"
"Let's talk outside." Perhaps out of respect for the corpse, Liu Nian rarely smokes in front of the corpse, although he often eats in front of the corpse.
Outside the autopsy room, after lighting a cigarette, Liu Nian asked me, "Do you know what a zombie is?"
"Have you heard that you think Shen Tingyue has become a zombie, not a shadow corpse?"
"Whether it's a zombie or a shadow corpse, it's a type of zombie, but the two are slightly different. Let's talk about what the zombie looks like in your mind first." He smoked a cigarette leisurely.
Liu Nian suddenly threw out this bizarre argument, and he must have his own unique insights, so I said what I knew: "As far as I know, the so-called zombies are directly transformed by wizards into living people with secret techniques, although they are powerful. Infinite, but slow in action, and without the ability to think, can only be at the mercy of the wizard. And in the case of losing the control of the wizard, they can only survive with the primitive instinct of the animal, will be crazy with the smell of blood, the speed will suddenly increase, and Please fill your stomach with fresh flesh and blood as soon as possible."
"This is just a hearsay." He shook his head gently, "Actually, zombies are not products of fantasy, they actually exist in this world."
"Is there really such a thing?"
Although Zhen Zhen showed a little fear, but at the same time, she was also gearing up, as if she had recovered from the vomiting just now. As long as the other party is a tangible entity, not an ethereal ghost, she will have the other party's confidence. Of course, if the other party is a rotting corpse, then I have reservations.
"Of course there is, but it's not the same as what you imagined." He took a breath and added: "Under normal circumstances, zombies are 'made' by wizards using secret techniques. But the so-called secret techniques are essentially The living people are turned into 'living dead' through drugs, and then controlled by means of vocal stimulation. Simply put, zombies are living people who are not completely dead. Because of the influence of drugs, the brain in charge of thinking is seriously damaged, so They only retain the thinking ability of lower animals, such as finding food, attacking enemies, etc. At the same time, due to brain damage, mutations are induced, making them infinitely powerful. But relatively speaking, their cerebellum functions are relatively intact, So even if it moves slowly, it can basically move like a living person.”
After snuffing out the cigarette butts, he continued: "In these days, wizards who can drive zombies may be more difficult to find than innocent officials. But I have heard that living people will also become Zombies."
"What's the situation?" Perhaps out of curiosity, Zhen Zhen's fear was gone.
Liu Nian replied: "As I said just now, zombies are actually living people with severely damaged brains. Therefore, head trauma, suffocation, poisoning, etc., may turn living people into zombies. Of course, it's just 'possible' ' That's it, the odds are lower than winning the lottery jackpot."
"Bullshit!" I rolled his eyes at him. "I've never heard of that lottery jackpot winner in my life having a name."
He shrugged and said, "I'm just making an analogy. Anyway, although the chance of this kind of thing is slim, it's not impossible."
If the truth is as he said, Shen Tingyue has become a zombie, then many questions can be solved, and now the only problem is how to find her.
After returning to the office of the conspiracy team, I immediately reported the investigation to the boss. He closed his eyes for a moment and asked, "What do you think?"
I lit a cigarette and replied leisurely: "Yuetong brought the technical team to Chen's cemetery to investigate, and it has been determined that the human-shaped shallow pit is caused from the inside out. That is to say, someone was buried in the soil, and then he Climb out. And according to the body shape, the buried person should be a female, with a thin body and a height of about 160CM. Judging from these physical characteristics, the buried person is likely to be Shen Tingyue. "
"Then it's not easy to do. The resurrection from the dead can't be written in the report." The boss smiled, his sly eyes twitched, not knowing what he was thinking.
I spread my hands helplessly: "If you don't believe it, there's nothing you can do. It's true. Shen Tingyue came back to life after she died. And she may have turned into a zombie like a shadow corpse or a zombie, and killed Fang Shu. These are facts that are backed up by evidence."
"Whether it's the truth or not, we'll have to wait until we find her to find out." He showed a wicked smile, "Okay, I'll just take what you say is the truth. Now I'll give you three days, no matter if it's the shadow corpse. It’s still a zombie, you grab one for me and bring it back.”
I jumped up and shouted, "God, Changsheng, do you think you're catching a stray dog? It's only been three days. You asked me to go there and catch Shen Tingyue back for you?"
He stared at the stock market on the computer screen and said leisurely, "Don't worry, I believe you have a way."
"We don't have many clues about where Shen Tingyue is hiding now. Her activity range may be near Chen's Cemetery and Tangzai Village. But this area is full of barren mountains and mountains. She can hide in any ravine, which is enough for us. I've been looking for ten days and a half months, and only three days can I find her. You have to give me at least a week, or you can arrange for a team of armed police to help me, so maybe I can find her earlier... "
Just as I was haggling with my boss, the phone on my desk rang. After the boss answered the phone, he frowned and said, "Now there are clues. The boy surnamed Mai died. He killed him. The death was similar to the previous deceased."
I was stunned for a moment, then slumped on the chair and said weakly: "What kind of clue is this? It only means that Shen Tingyue's range of activities is larger than I thought. Do you know how big the Provincial Academy of Fine Arts is, and the surrounding It’s a ghost place where birds can’t lay eggs, she just climbed a tree and it was enough for us to find it for two months.”
The boss smiled slyly: "I didn't say that the boy named Mai was killed in the Academy of Fine Arts."
"What?" I looked at him in astonishment. "It's not the Academy of Fine Arts, it's there? When I saw him before, he didn't even dare to leave the door of the dormitory!"
"A Yang said that he was killed in a commercial street near Tangzai Village. You can learn more about the details when you arrive at the scene!"
"Well, I'll go now."
When I walked to the door and was about to go out, the boss's cunning voice came from behind: "Don't forget that you only have three days."
