Episode 7 Chapter 70 The Truth
After saying all this, I don't know if Old Man Nie was in a good mood or what, but he asked me if I wanted to go and see the body of the hanged man. When I heard about going to see the body at this time, I felt a little scared. I felt that even though I had experienced so much, I was still not used to these things. Old Man Nie said that he just wanted to go and take a look, and confirm whether what I dreamed was true.
Finally I couldn't refuse , so I went with him. I pushed him down in the elevator. In the elevator, Old Man Nie suddenly asked me if I was afraid of riding in the elevator. He saw that I looked uneasy. This would be a long story. I told him that I was scared before, so I didn't dare to ride in it. Old Man Nie said that he was scared too, but he had no choice but to take the elevator since he was in a wheelchair.
After going down to the first floor, Director Gao and two other people who looked like bodyguards were waiting downstairs. It was Director Gao who came out of the elevator. It was my turn to push Old Man Nie. From what I saw, I thought Director Gao must have been helped up by Old Man Nie. The director of the funeral home was rarely seen, and most of the time it was Director Gao who gave orders. It seemed that Director Gao was the one in power.
We all went into the cold storage room. Old Nie didn't hide this from them, and he couldn't hide it either, after all, someone had to take care of the funeral home. After entering, the bodyguard closed the door, and then they walked to the designated freezer and opened it. Director Gao pushed Old Nie to the front, and Old Nie asked me to come over. I saw that the middle-aged man was frozen in the freezer just like in my dream, and the mark on his neck was very clear. Old Nie knew what was going on just by looking at my reaction, so he didn't ask again.
As I was looking, I suddenly heard someone behind me calling me. The voice was like a very quiet call for fear of being heard by others, and I felt that it was very close to me. So I turned my head to look behind me, but there was nothing behind me. Just as I turned my head, I heard someone calling me again, and I noticed that the voice came from the refrigerator next to me.
After realizing that the sound came from inside, I was shocked. When Old Man Nie saw me looking back, he asked me what happened. I had already put my hand on the refrigerator, so I turned around and asked Old Man Nie who was inside. Old Man Nie looked at me, then gestured to the bodyguards around him. Then I saw one of the bodyguards come to my side and open the refrigerator. When the refrigerator was opened, the body inside appeared. When I saw this person, I was stunned. This is Huang Weilun!
I looked at Old Man Nie. Director Gao said that because his case had not been concluded yet, the body had been frozen here. I looked at Director Gao and said that Huang Weilun's case had been closed as suicide. Director Gao said that this was the case at the police station, but Shi Hu was still investigating. He said that Shi Hu had specifically told them that Huang Weilun's body had to be kept.
I have never seen Huang Weilun's body, I just saw the photos taken after he committed suicide at Shi Hu's place. But Old Man Nie looked at me and asked me why I thought of asking about this cabinet. I was about to go back, but I vaguely saw someone standing behind Old Man Nie, vaguely, as if possessed by Old Man Nie's ear, and then I saw Old Man Nie suddenly turned his head away, his face full of fear.
As soon as he turned around, he saw me staring at him intently, and he immediately said to me eagerly: "Did you see it? Did you see it?"
I nodded and said he felt it too, and then Old Man Nie said he felt someone blowing on his neck and that's when he woke up. Director Gao and the bodyguard said they would send Old Man Nie out, and Old Man Nie didn't say anything. He told me to ask Director Gao if I wanted to know anything, and to tell Director Gao if there was anything, and he would pass it on to him.
Soon, Director Gao and I were the only ones left in the cold storage room. I looked at Huang Weilun's body and remembered the times when he stood in the living room. I felt sorry for him and was confused. Why did he come to our house? While I was thinking about it, Director Gao told me that Shi Hu and the others probably didn't tell me that there was something special about Huang Weilun.
Director Gao pulled the clothes off Huang Weilun's shoulders while talking. I saw an almost black mark on his pale shoulder. In order to let me see more clearly, Director Gao lifted the body a little, and I saw that it was actually a palm print. I asked him how there could be such a mark on his body, and Director Gao said that this was the truth behind Huang Weilun's jumping off the building. It was obvious that someone pushed him from behind.
Of course Director Gao was not talking about a person, but a pseudonym, because no one would leave such a mark on his body after pushing him. It was obviously done by the thing that was entangled with him, but what was it that was entangled with him and finally ruined his life. After Director Gao showed me clearly, he put the body back and tidied his clothes for him. I said that Shi Hu really didn't tell me about the palm print on his shoulder, and I asked Director Gao what else they knew about Huang Weilun.
Director Gao said to me mysteriously, "I don't know if I have seen Huang Weilun's death scene." I said I had seen the photos. Director Gao asked me if I had noticed a detail, that there was no obvious blood at his scene. I didn't quite understand what he meant, and asked if it was because of the height of the building. Director Gao said no, he said that even if Ren Cong jumped down from the building, he would bleed a lot, and some of the blood would even splatter everywhere, but it was not the case with Huang Weilun. Huang Weilun's blood had already coagulated before he jumped down.
Even though I am a layman, I know that blood will only coagulate after death. As for how long it will take to coagulate after death, I don't know. What Director Gao meant by this is very clear. He is obviously telling me that Huang Weilun was already dead when he jumped from the building. Either he was thrown down by someone, or...
The latter situation was too strange, I dared not think too much, but the handprint on his shoulder was indeed strange, I thought and thought but could not think of anything, and just now I heard someone calling me from inside, could it be him? Finally, Director Gao pushed the freezer back and told me to go out too. Director Gao said that I could just be on duty at my own workplace during the day. When he said this, I saw Director Gao winked at me, and when I passed his office, he gave me a file bag and told me to put it back in the archives room.
Director Gao's intention was very clear. He wanted me to read something through this incident. I returned to my office calmly. Then I looked at the file bag Director Gao gave me. It actually contained Huang Weilun's information. I began to wonder why Huang Weilun's information was with Director Gao instead of in the archives.
I opened the file, there wasn't much material inside, it was the process of Huang Weilun from being brought back to the funeral home to being placed. I looked at it carefully, it was all very ordinary, there was nothing special about it. When I was wondering, I suddenly found that there was an A4 paper at the very end, as if it was added later, and the text on it was also handwritten.
I looked at it in confusion and found that it was a bit confusing, but when I understood it, I realized that it was written by Huang Weilun himself. It said: I didn't want to go out by myself at that time, I was pulled out by someone, someone pulled me out, my hands and feet were out of control, as if someone was controlling me. Everyone thought that person was Liu Wangxing, but I saw clearly that he was not, he was a colleague of Ma Yipin, I don't remember his name, I met him once, it was him who came out of the morgue!
When I saw this, I felt a chill down my spine. At this moment, I suddenly heard the office door creak open. I looked over immediately, but didn't see anyone. However, I heard footsteps outside, walking away. I hesitated, but immediately chased after him. When I got to the door, I just saw him turn around and go up the stairs.
I wondered whether to follow or not, but in the end I made up my mind and followed him upstairs, and once I went upstairs, I returned to the fourth floor.
