Ren Yonghai spent a lot of time politely greeting me, and I also introduced myself. Qiu Louyan on the side quit. She probably had never spent such a long time with a policeman in her life, even though she had hardly ever interacted with Ren Yonghai.
Although she was having a conversation, her uncomfortable look was obvious to others.
"Brother Lin Kun, what's wrong with my siblings? They don't seem to be feeling well." Ren Yonghai asked with concern.
Qiu Louyan glanced at him impatiently, but she still endured it and said, "Oh, it's nothing. I haven't been feeling well lately."
"Weren't you fine on the train just now?" Su Lan asked doubtfully, "What's wrong with you? Do you need to go to the hospital?"
Qiu Louyan shook her head and said, "It's okay. A little bit of wind and cold won't be a problem."
"How about this? My house is nearby, so come and sit down at my house." Ren Yonghai said enthusiastically.
"How can this be so embarrassing?"
"Hey, we are destined to meet each other. Besides, I haven't thanked you properly yet." Ren Yonghai said and pulled me to the car.
Even though Qiu Louyan was reluctant at all costs, she was still dragged into the car. Now, Qiu Louyan couldn't bear it even more. She never imagined that she would arrive at the policeman's house in this way.
When I arrived at Ren Yonghai's home, I saw honorary certificates and trophies all over the wall. It was obvious that the criminal police captain had made numerous meritorious services and could be considered a hero. However, other than that, his home could only be described as ordinary. It was very ordinary.
The decoration is simple, there are almost no particularly expensive furniture, and the home is not very tidy. When I first walked in, I saw the table piled with files and an entire ashtray full of cigarette butts.
It is not difficult to imagine how many quiet nights he spent alone at his desk thinking about the case, and these countless cigarette butts seemed to imply that he had recently encountered a very difficult case.
"Officer Ren, what big case has happened recently that makes you worry so much?" I pointed at the ashtray and smiled.
Ren Yonghai packed up the ashtray awkwardly, and Su Lan quickly took the file into the study and motioned for us to sit down and talk. Ren Yonghai sighed and said: "To be honest, there was indeed a case recently, although it was not a big deal.
It's a big case, but it has troubled me for a long time. I have a grudge, I hope brother Lin Kun can give me some advice."
"Is it appropriate for outsiders like us to know about the police station's affairs?"
Ren Yonghai smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. This case is not even a criminal investigation. There is no confidentiality. I know that Brother Lin Kun is a capable person. How about you help me with my advice?"
Since he said that, I naturally didn't have the nerve to refuse, so I had to say: "Then let's hear it and see if I can help?"
"Recently, a strange thing happened in the county. A body was stolen from the hospital morgue." Ren Yonghai said as he habitually took out a cigarette and prepared to light one. When Su Lan rolled his eyes, he put it away in embarrassment.
He got up and said, "Sorry, I'm used to it."
"The body was stolen?" I had a bad feeling in my heart and continued to ask, "What exactly happened?"
"This incident is strange. It was reported by an electrician who worked in the morgue. There was a problem with the circuit supply to the morgue in the hospital a while ago. He was repairing the circuit that night. It was calm at night and nothing happened.
"But when people from the hospital came to move the bodies the next day, they saw, hey, there's something wrong, there's a missing body." Ren Yonghai told us, "When he came to report the crime, we thought it was a prank.
Because the hospital morgue is locked when no one is entering or exiting, and the key is kept in the hands of the guard. This door can only be locked from the outside and cannot be opened from the inside. Even if it is a real corpse, it can only be locked inside.
He was jumping around and couldn't run outside. Moreover, there are surveillance cameras inside and at the door of the morgue. If there is really something going on inside, why not take a picture?"
"Then what's going on? How come the body disappeared for no reason? Have you checked the surveillance video from that night?"
I asked.
"Of course I checked, but the strange thing is this place. The surveillance video shows that at about 11 o'clock in the evening, the person responsible for moving the body pulled out the freezer and checked, and it was still lying in it. After that, nine
hour, until 8 o'clock the next morning, the door of the morgue was not opened, and no one came in or out. But the strange thing is that at this time, the body disappeared for no reason."
"Then do you have any clues?" After hearing this, I have secretly realized that the case is a bit strange, and it may not be as simple as a theft case.
"Yes!" Ren Yonghai said, "I investigated this matter secretly. I found out that the cause of this person's death was very strange. Not long ago, an ancient tomb was being excavated in the suburbs of our city. This body was actually involved in the excavation.
On-site staff.”
When I heard this, my eyes froze, "Ancient tomb?"
"Yes."
My brows couldn't help but wrinkle.
"Brother Lin Kun, what's wrong?"
I was leaning on the sofa, rubbing my chin, thinking to myself that there seemed to be something weird behind this matter. I vaguely felt that this matter seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog, invisible and intangible, but it was real.
Can feel its presence.
"Officer Ren, do you believe there are supernatural events in this world?"
Ren Yonghai glanced at me, sighed and said, "To be honest, I didn't believe it at first, but after this happened, I couldn't help but not believe it."
"It seems that this matter needs to be thoroughly investigated to get to the bottom of it." I nodded and said, "I think the process of the body being stolen is also very strange. How could a body refrigerated in a freezer disappear out of thin air like that? We
There may be some details missed. Let's go to the hospital morgue to have a look, and then ask the electrician about the situation that day."
Ren Yonghai immediately nodded in agreement, and then after he found the registered address of the electrician from the file, we jumped in his car and prepared to go to the electrician's home.
"Wait a minute, let's go to the hospital first." I suggested on the spur of the moment.
Ren Yonghai thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. Then we went straight to the First People's Hospital of the city.
With the criminal police captain here, we naturally had an unobstructed journey and soon entered the morgue of the hospital.
The morgue is quite spacious. It is a large, empty room. There are freezers placed against the wall. There are about sixty or seventy freezers neatly stacked together. There are a few empty push beds in the corner. Other than that,
There is nothing else.
"Comrade police, this is the morgue of our hospital."
The person guarding the morgue was a middle-aged man in his forties. He led us into the morgue, pointed at one of the freezers and said, "Look, this is the 032 freezer where the stolen bodies were stored.
It has been empty since this incident."
After hearing the middle-aged man's introduction, I looked around and followed his finger to the No. 032 freezer.
At first glance, I immediately discovered a strange place.
On the freezer No. 032 where the body was stored, there was a strange blood-red handprint printed on it.
"Why is there such a bloody fingerprint on the freezer?" My expression changed slightly, and just as I was about to ask, I heard the voice of the middle-aged man guarding the morgue.
"Comrade police, I'm not complaining. I understand your work very well, and I should cooperate with you in your work. However, there are only so many things in this morgue, and you can see them all at a glance. On the day the body was stolen, you policemen also
We've all checked here and found nothing suspicious at all. I'm afraid you two will have a wasted trip this time."
"There is such a weird and inexplicable bloody fingerprint left on the freezer, and there is nothing suspicious about it?" The middle-aged man's words made me swallow back what I was going to ask.
I looked back at the janitor.
I glanced at Ren Yonghai and saw that they were all looking at the freezer, but their expressions were very natural, and they seemed not to notice anything weird on the freezer at all.
"Can't they see this bloody handprint?" I became even more surprised.
"Master, after the corpse was moved in and out, will there be any blood stains on the freezer?" I asked tentatively, and pointed to the bloody fingerprints on the surface of the freezer to guide his eyes.
"This is not allowed. The corpses in the freezer are all wrapped in body bags. Besides, the corpses are kept in a low temperature environment of minus 9 degrees, and the whole body is frozen hard. Regardless of whether it is blood or any other liquid, it will not
Flowing.”
The middle-aged man's eyes naturally followed my fingers and landed on the bloody fingerprints, but nothing happened, not even the focus of his pupils changed at all.
Just as I guessed, he couldn't even see the bloody handprint.
When the focus of a person's sight changes, the pupil will naturally focus and shrink or expand accordingly. This is a human's instinctive physiological reaction and no one can hide it.
The middle-aged man's pupils showed no reaction, which only meant one thing, that is, the bloody handprint did not exist in his eyes at all!
Since there were handprints on the freezer, there might be traces left in other places. I looked up and searched every place in the room. Soon, I also found a bloody handprint of the same size on the windowsill.
Combining the positions of the two bloody handprints, it is not difficult to see that the person who stole the body that night climbed into the morgue through the window and stole the body.
It's just that I can't figure out what this thing with the bloody fingerprints is.
"Master, please do your work first. The two of us will look here for a while. Maybe there are any missing clues." I said to the gatekeeper.
"Okay, okay, the two of you will watch first. If you need anything, call me at any time. I'll be in the duty room outside." The middle-aged man who looked after the door obviously didn't like to stay in the morgue either.
With that said, he walked out.
After sending the janitor away, I pulled over Ren Yonghai and told him what I had just discovered.
"Blood handprint?" Ren Yonghai was a little surprised. He glanced at the location I pointed at, shook his head and said, "I didn't see anything."
"This is the weird thing." I frowned, walked to the edge of the freezer, stretched out my hand and pressed it on the bloody fingerprint for comparison. The fingerprint was only half the size of my palm and looked like a child's palm. "This is actually
It’s not a real blood fingerprint, it’s a manifestation of Yin Qi. It’s normal that you can’t see it.”
"It's just..." I muttered, comparing the size of the bloody handprints with some confusion, "turning Yin into blood is a situation that only occurs when the resentment is deep enough. There is no reason to just steal it.
One body, but no one died."
"We don't know whether someone died somewhere else?" Ren Yonghai analyzed.
I shook my head: "This is unlikely. The more resentful this thing is, the easier it is to be attracted to blood. The gatekeeper was in the duty room outside the door at that time. At such a close distance, there was no reason to let him go."
Ren Yonghai knew nothing about this business, and when he saw that I denied it, he couldn't think of the second possibility.
I thought about it for a while, but had no idea, so I could only put it aside for the time being.
"No matter what this thing is, if you want to steal a corpse in the hospital morgue, there is a problem it can't get around: the surveillance may not be able to capture it, but the body will definitely be captured.
image."
"A corpse that has been refrigerated for more than 20 days in a low-temperature environment of minus 9 degrees Celsius has long been frozen into a lump. No matter what it is that came to steal the corpse that night, it is impossible to steal the corpse in front of the surveillance camera.
