Volume 4: Return of the Dead Chapter 0091 The Third
When Xiao Mo and his companions arrived at the residential building where Wu Qi lived, it was already completely dark. It must be said that this place is really far away. They urged the driver all the way, but the driver still drove for nearly an hour. It can be seen how remote the place Wu Qi lived was.
"Is this it?"
Li Shuai raised his head and looked upwards. The eighth window from above was Wu Qi's residence. But suddenly, a black shadow appeared in his sight, and this black shadow was rapidly enlarging.
“Fuck!”
Li Shuai cursed softly and quickly jumped back a step. Then a muffled sound was heard from where he was previously. Looking again, he saw a disfigured corpse there.
After this sudden scene, everyone was a little stunned. Li Shuai was the first to react and joked:
"This guy was anxious to see us coming, so he took the aerial stairs directly."
Looking at the corpse on the ground that was constantly bleeding, the Erosion Mage frowned in pity. Zhang Tianyi did not look at Wu Qi's body, but raised his head and looked upwards. There... there was a child who was lowering his head and peeking at them.
"Don't touch the body. Judging from the work clothes he's wearing, it must be Wu Qi."
Xiao Mo stopped Li Shuai who was about to go forward to check, and then his eyes fell on Zhang Tianyi. Seeing that Zhang Tianyi was looking at something, he also raised his head, but there was nothing above.
The corrupt mage took out the yellow paper he had drawn in advance from his bosom and asked Zhang Tianyi:
"The police will be here soon, so we need to hurry if we want to go up there."
"No rush. When the police arrive, we'll find a reason to go in with them."
Zhang Tianyi knew it hadn't left yet, so he didn't dare to risk entering, and waited until the time difference was reversed. They waited there for a while, and then the ambulance and police cars arrived one after another.
Several policemen surrounded the scene. At this time, Zhang Tianyi walked in through the crowd. He showed something to the policemen. The policemen seemed a little surprised. After a few words, one of the policemen took the key from Wu Qi's body and went into the crowd with another person.
"Let's go up and take a look now."
Leaving these words behind, Zhang Tianyi and the two policemen entered the corridor first, with Xin Yan following closely behind, amid the astonished expressions of the crowd.
"Could this bastard Zhang Tianyi really be a policeman?"
"It looks like it's a level higher than the police."
"That's just like me!"
"Same as you? What do you do?"
"I am a high-ranking military officer, and I specialize in catching charlatans like you..."
Listening to the quarrel between the Corruption Mage and Li Shuai, Xiao Mo said nothing, but judging from the situation just now, Zhang Tianyi might really have some kind of background.
When they arrived at Wu Qi's residence, Zhang Tianyi and others were already searching Wu Qi's belongings. Wu Qi didn't have much stuff, only two suitcases in total. They took them out and looked carefully. There were only some clothes inside, not even a photo. There was no substantial discovery at all.
Although Xiao Mo was unwilling to admit it, the clues of this incident were obviously interrupted again.
On the way back, Xiao Mo asked Zhang Tianyi who was thinking:
"Can you transfer all the people in this city whose ancestral home is Qingfeng County?"
Looking up at Xiao Mo, Zhang Tian nodded and replied:
"Well, it's troublesome, but there's really nothing we can do right now."
Xiao Mo and Zhang Tianyi had the same idea. Zhang Tianyi was planning to conduct a major investigation in this way after returning, but this kind of investigation has many unknowns. After all, the public security network is not omnipotent. It is hard to say whether there are fish caught in the net among these people. In addition, this kind of investigation is also very time-consuming, at least one or two days.
The most important reason why Zhang Tianyi chose to come here at this time was to determine the time when the evil spirit killed people. From the previous killing of Cheng Wushuang to the current killing of Wu Qi, both of them were killed at 12:00 in the evening, so there is a commonality in time.
"If it only kills at night, then the daytime is relatively safe. Will those who die at night be retaliated at night?"
Zhang Tianyi shook his head in confusion.
Back at the hotel, everyone went back to their rooms one after another. Xiao Mo took a quick shower, then he took out his cell phone and tentatively called Lao Gao.
"beep……"
To his surprise, Lao Gao's phone was on. After a few rings, Lao Gao's voice came from the phone:
"Xiao Mo?"
"Well, it's me. If you don't mind, I'd like to know what the incident was about."
“…”
Chen Shu opened his eyes with difficulty, but he found that he could not see anything. It was pitch black in front of him, and his chest was abnormally stuffy, as if something was lying on it. The stuffy feeling became stronger and stronger, and he felt that he was about to suffocate.
"Why, am I dreaming?"
He tried to struggle to sit up , but his body seemed to be entangled by something, his hands and feet were bound tightly, and he couldn't exert any strength at all. Only his head could move, but there seemed to be a hard object on top of it, which hit his head and caused great pain.
His head became heavier and heavier, his consciousness gradually faded away, and finally, he fell into a complete faint.
Chen Shu woke up in a sweat, sat up and looked around in fear. Then he breathed a sigh of relief as if he had just woken up from a dream, because what had just happened was just a dream.
Getting down from the very simple single bed, he slowly came to the wooden cabinet beside him, picked up the cup full of water, and then he began to drink it "gulp gulp" until there was not a drop left in the cup, and then he reluctantly put it down.
Sighing, he pulled out the chair in front of the cabinet and sat down. It seemed that he would suffer from insomnia again tonight, or rather, this place was not a place for living people to sleep.
His job is to be a morgue caretaker, and he is responsible for guarding the bodies to prevent people from stealing them. Because there are so many people stealing bodies now, the hospital has specially set up such a position. It doesn't require any effort, as long as the body lies in the morgue obediently, everything will be fine.
Although this job is very leisurely and pays well, few people are willing to do it because it involves dealing with the dead. After all, everyone is afraid of being contaminated by the bad luck of the dead.
He came here from another place two months ago. He heard from his friends that the salary here is high, so he decided to try his luck and accidentally found this position. He has always been known for his boldness, and the salary and benefits are good, so he agreed without thinking.
Speaking of which, he was very unlucky. Originally, he could live in the staff dormitory, but the old dormitory was full and the new dormitory had just begun to be built. So he didn't want to spend money to rent a house, so he could only sleep here with the corpses for a while, and the same went for three meals a day.
However, no matter how brave he was, no one could stand facing the dead every day, eating and living together, so after living like this for a month, he became a little dazed. Whenever he was idle, he would subconsciously have wild thoughts, such as a corpse looking at him, a corpse quietly getting down from the bed, etc.
The hospital knew that this was not an easy task, so they gave him a computer for the first time and connected an internet cable to him, just to relieve his boredom. This computer really helped him a lot. When he watched a movie or played a game, he suddenly had no other thoughts.
There are five beds in the morgue, all reserved for fresh corpses. As for the stale ones, they are stored in the freezer, so his place is just a transition, but there is also a small freezer at the innermost end of the room, which contains about thirty corpses.
Whether it was a fresh corpse or not, he had to deal with formalin, which was the smell he hated the most.
Three hours ago, two more corpses were brought here, both tightly wrapped in plastic sheets. At this moment, they were sleeping on the bed not far from him, as if they had just woken up... with their eyes open!!!
