Chapter 259

"See if the windows in the house are closed" I pointed to the person at the property.

The man was pale, and I called him three times before he finally walked into the house. After a while, he went through each room.

The person from the property said, " Officer, the windows are all closed and locked. Besides, this is the ninth floor, and the windows are designed to be small. Unless the murderer is a child of a few years old, how could it be possible to escape through the window? "

"No, is it really a ghost?" The property owner looked left and right. It seemed that in this room, apart from the three of us living and the one dead, there was something else.

I was stunned by his behavior. Although you know that there are no ghosts in this world, sometimes people just love themselves enough to frighten themselves.

I quickly said, "Don't spook yourself. Even if there are ghosts, how can they come out during the day? Stand aside. "

The property man nodded.

I looked at the corpse, then looked at Zhao Mingkun again, and said, "Continue to look at the corpse, I haven't finished reading the corpse."

From the torso of the corpse, nothing could be seen anymore, and now I was more concerned with the corpse's face. The corpse's hands were covering his face at the moment, and the two big fat hands blocked his face tightly, so that Zhao Mingkun and I could not see the corpse's face.

I looked at Zhao Mingkun and said, "Let's get one hand per person."

Zhao Mingkun nodded, and I moved one of Liu Ruijie's hands, and then pulled back. The rigidity of the corpse in my imagination did not appear; on the contrary, the corpse was soft. I just pulled Liu Ruijie's hand away lightly and put it on the side of my body obediently.

But when I looked back again, I almost didn't sit on the ground in fright. No, to be precise, this feeling of mine cannot be called "fear." It should be called 'a combination of shock and disgust.' This is definitely one of the most disgusting corpses I have ever seen.

When Zhao Mingkun and I pulled the corpse's hand off his face, we saw something with white flowers rolling in his eyes. And this kind of thing, we generally call it "maggots." It took a while before I could look directly at the body again.

Although this thing looks disgusting, maggots have many different functions in various fields.

For example, maggots are rich in protein, which can be eaten and used as medicine.

In medicine, maggot therapy can be used to remove dead carrion from the human body. One of the characteristics of flies is that they lay their eggs only on broken or rotting skin. One of the characteristics of maggots is that they only eat carrion, not fresh meat. This is because maggots are saprophytic organisms, and there is no way to digest organic matter in the body, and the organic matter in carrion has been decomposed, so maggots can only eat carrion.

During World War I and World War II, soldiers on the battlefield often used this method to remove dead tissue and avoid infection and death.

Speaking of which, soldiers often use leeches to suck out the congestion in their skin for treatment. It can be seen that everything in the world has its own role.

For us, maggots can tell us when the dead person died. It is a pity that if I could consult Guan Zengbin, I would have been able to see how long Liu Ruijie had been dead.

Zhao Mingkun shrank her body back, and it could be seen that she was holding back the nausea in her heart.

Zhao Mingkun said, "I have been dealing with the corpse for so many years. Although I don't know the cause of his death, I probably know

when he died."

"When?" I asked. "Before Hu Pei, after Hu Pei?"

Zhao Mingkun frowned, and said quickly, "He died before Hu Pei. In the spring, within thirty minutes to two hours after the body dies, the body will undergo rigor mortis, and within nine to twelve hours, the body will be completely rigid. At that time, only physical means could destroy corpses. "

Listening to Zhao Mingkun's remarks, I was a little dazed, as if the person squatting next to me was not Zhao Mingkun, but Guan Zengbin. And Guan Zengbin also appeared in my mind. I must admit, I miss her very much.

It seems that people are such cheap animals. When I am with Guan Zengbin, I often think of Zhao Mingkun. And when I was with Zhao Mingkun, I thought of Guan Zengbin again.

Zhao Mingkun obviously didn't notice that something was wrong with me, but continued, "After 30 hours, the corpse will soften. After 12 hours of death, parchment-like corpse spots will form."

I looked, and sure enough, I could see that the skin on his face was layer by layer, like the pages of a book. It seems that when you open it, you can directly tear off human skin.

Zhao Mingkun continued, "Look at his neck; there are obvious green spots. In this season, it should only appear 24 hours after a person dies."

After a pause, Zhao Mingkun continued, "The breeding of maggots will cause the acceleration of corruption. To sum up, the time of death is probably more than 24 hours."

"That is to say!" I snapped my fingers and said, "It's almost the same time as Hu Pei's death? Is a person committing crimes in two places at the same time? "

Zhao Mingkun shook his head and whispered to me, "I'm not your little girlfriend, I'm not a professional forensic doctor. The maximum error in this should be three or four hours, and if it is three or four hours, it is enough. The killer went to the next location to kill. But if it's a ghost, that's not certain. "

I nodded and continued to look at the corpse.

I said, "I don't know if you noticed, when we pulled the corpse's hand away from his face, his index and middle fingers were in the eye sockets, and his thumb was propped up on the cheekbones below the eye sockets. Don't you feel familiar with this technique? "

Zhao Mingkun looked at the corpse and said, "Hu Xiaoxue, like Hu Xiaoxue, he had his own eyeballs pulled out by himself. However, he just put his hands into his own eyes, but he did not pull out the eyeballs. when he was dead. "

Resisting the nausea in my heart, I lifted the deceased's head with my hands, and looked back at the back of the head. I could see a slight dent on the back of his head, but it was not obvious. There is a small amount of bleeding in the subcutaneous tissue, but it is not a fatal injury. It was preliminarily inferred that when Liu Ruijie stepped back, he must have fallen directly to the ground, and the back of his head had close contact with the floor tiles, causing Liu Ruijie to fall into a coma.

While in a coma, Liu Ruijie's hands had been pierced into his eyes, thus causing Liu Ruijie's death.

However, what means can the murderer use to make the deceased pull out his own eyeballs? This is so weird. Moreover, what method did the murderer use to escape from a secret room with doors and windows locked?

Could it be that Lu Zhiqiu's ghost really came to kill?

But if the original murder was only done by Liu Ruijie and Hu Pei, why would the ghost still be there?

Is killing Hu Xiaoxue and driving Jiang Xiaochun crazy? Could it be that Lu Zhiqiu's ghost has been haunted for seven years and has forgotten who killed her in the first place? Do ghosts have times when their memory is wrong?

I'm afraid the killer escaped in a way we can't think of yet.

The case will never be won by ghosts.

Zhao Mingkun rummaged through the clothes of the deceased and found his ID card and mobile phone. The ID card proved that the deceased was indeed Liu Ruijie. The mobile phone does not have a password to open the screen, it is a smart phone, and it belongs to Liu Ruijie himself. It's just that the murderer took Hu Pei's mobile phone, but not Liu Ruijie's. Why?

I turned around and asked, "Do you know who the head of the household is? Is he renting a house or buying a house?"

The person from the property shook his head and said, "This, I have to call and ask. You wait for me."

At this moment, there are only me and Zhao Mingkun in the room.

We looked at each other. She said first, "It seems that the murderer didn't take anything from Liu Ruijie this time. Moreover, Liu Ruijie doesn't seem to be as superstitious as Hu Pei. It's just that I was still scared by what I saw and pulled up my pants."

"Back then." Zhao Mingkun said seriously, "Lu Zhiqiu also had her eyes gouged out, but Hu Pei didn't have his eyes gouged out. Is there any difference?"

Seeing Zhao Mingkun's serious look, I suddenly wanted to laugh, so I asked, "Zhao Mingkun, you look like a policeman now. How about it? It's fun to pretend to be a policeman to investigate a case, right? "

Zhao Mingkun smiled and nodded.

But soon, Zhao Mingkun had a lonely expression again.

After a moment, Zhao Mingkun said, "But I can only pretend to be a policeman in my life, and it is impossible to be a real policeman."

" However, it is not bad to be a fake policeman once. At least I understand the taste of it. If my parents had not been criminals and I had not been adopted by Shi Huacheng, I might have had a chance to become a police officer.Like, your little girlfriend? "

Hearing Zhao Mingkun's words, I couldn't help but feel melancholy. My parents may be police officers, but now they have fallen into this field.

Zhao Mingkun asked me, "Why do you want to be a policeman?"

A lot of people have asked me this question. Guan Zengbin asked me, Team Leader Shao asked me, Sister Mary asked me, Gu Chen also asked me, and I also asked myself this question. But after asking so many times, I still can't answer.

Why do I want to be a police officer?

Both of us were silent.

Zhao Mingkun said, "This may be the only time we have cooperated to investigate a case. I always feel that something big will happen soon."

"Wu Meng." Zhao Mingkun suddenly hugged me.

Her gloves had touched the corpse, so when Zhao Mingkun hugged me, he put his hands out to prevent the gloves from touching my back.

"Thank you." Zhao Mingkun said lightly, "This may be one of the few happy days in my 30 years of life."

I never thought in my life that I would be hugged tightly in such a situation. Next to a rotting corpse of maggots, in a room that stinks. Being held like this by a female fugitive in an extremely awkward and uncomfortable way.

For a moment, I even thought,' this life will be like this. Time stopped. Just hold it like that.'
