Chapter 40 - White Dress

Perhaps it was due to my major, but after a short moment of anger, I quickly suppressed my emotions.

I said to Ji Yayun and Sang Lan: "The relationship between us is only a business relationship. Now that the relationship has been dissolved, we have nothing to say to each other."

Ji Yayun said. "Xu Huo, Sister Ru is your mother after all …"

With that, Sang Lan's father supported the woman whose eyes were swollen from crying and walked in.

Without another word, I took my bag and placed it on the table, one item at a time.

I pointed to the items on the table and said in a low voice to the four people in front of me, "Let me formally introduce exorcist Xu Huo, a student of this city's medical school's Forensic Department. "What you're seeing right now is a guy I earn a living with."

When the four of them saw Li Rui's spirit tablet, they were all stunned.

"Xu Huo." Old Army's voice came from outside.

He walked to the door, took a look at the room, and frowned. "Didn't I say that you should stop? Why are you getting involved with them?"

"Old Army Uncle, what's the matter?"

Old Army pointed downstairs, "Come down and lend a hand."

I nodded and walked to the door. "Excuse me," I said to the woman calmly.

I picked up the blue coat behind the door and put it on. I pulled out my gloves and put them on.

Sang Lan's father looked at my dressing, "This is..."

I smiled at him. "Other than being a exorcist, I also take a part-time job at the morgue. I also work as a corpse bearer."

After he finished speaking, he ignored the others and walked out.

Down the stairs, I asked Old Army, "Old Army Uncle, what's the situation?"

"Xu Huo." A middle-aged man called out to me.

I was stunned. "Chief Li?"

This person was actually Deputy Chief Li Xiangdong.

"Why are you looking for me?" I asked.

Li Xiangdong frowned and looked at me, "It was Zhao Qi who told me where to find you, and he told me to look for you."

I nodded. "Then please wait for a while. I'll finish what I have to do first."

Old Army said, "It's exactly the same thing."

"Come with me and take a look." Li Xiangdong pointed to the clinic building.

Just as I was about to follow them, Ji Yayun and the rest walked down.

I ignored them and followed them into the clinic.

Outside a small room, one of the two policemen standing by the door opened it.

Filled with suspicion, I followed Li Xiangdong in. On the carriage, the white cloth sheet was rising up high.

"Is it a child?" I whispered to the Old Army.

Old Army shook his head, "Take a look first."

I bowed to the carriage, stepped forward, and lifted the cloth sheet.

Looking at the corpse under the cloth sheet, I couldn't help but be stunned.

This was not the body of a child, but the body of an adult woman.

At first, I thought it was a child because the bulge under the cloth sheet was so small that it looked like a child.

Only when they lifted the cloth sheet off the ground did they realize that this was an adult's corpse. The reason why it looked so small was because the corpse was hugging its knees, with its head lowered, curled into a small ball.

I couldn't see her face because the body was buried in her lap, but from the shape of her body and her loose hair, she was probably a young woman.

I looked at the tissues of the dead person's skin, then looked up at Li Xiangdong. "Just died?"

Li Xiangdong's eyebrows were twisted into a knot, he glanced at the female corpse and said, "Last night, we received an alarm, someone found a coffin by the river."

My heart skipped a beat. Could it be...

"The coffin is made of iron and is covered with aquatic plants. It must have just been fished out from the river."

I gasped. "You opened the coffin?"

Li Xiangdong was startled, and said: "This female corpse was found inside the coffin. Judging from the rust marks on the iron coffin, it should have been submerged for at least five years. But the dead. You saw it too. "

I took a deep breath and nodded subconsciously.

He finally understood why the female corpse was in such a strange position.

The iron coffin that Sun Tuzi, the blind and I scooped up was very small. At that time, Blind Liu had speculated that it was a child inside, and someone had used a child as an evil art.

If he wanted to place a coffin of that size into an adult, it would have to be the female corpse's current position.

"Why didn't you send it directly to the forensic lab? Why did you send it here?" I asked.

Li Xiangdong frowned even more and said: "With the current condition of the corpse, even if it was sent to the laboratory, it would still not be able to be analysed."

"Why?"

Old Army said in a low voice: "This corpse is very heavy, at least 300 kilograms. It requires 4 people to carry her down from the carriage."

Li Xiangdong said, "Not only was it heavy, when the forensic doctor and the evidence were examined on the spot, they found that the corpse was even harder than iron. If the needle could not even be inserted in, how would one be able to examine it?"

"Three hundred Jin, harder than iron …"

I shook my head in disbelief, thought for a moment, then took off one of my gloves and reached out to touch the corpse's arm.

When his fingertips touched the skin of the corpse, he immediately felt a cold chill down his spine.

"How could this be?" Li Xiangdong and Old Army opened their eyes wide at the same time.

The reaction was due to the fact that when my fingers touched the corpse, the corpse's arm had sunk into a small hole, and it wasn't as hard as they said it was.

When I withdrew my hand, the depression in my arm was gone, and my skin was as elastic as a living man's.

Li Xiangdong took a pair of gloves from the side and put it on, then extended his hand to feel the corpse.

He held the dead woman's arm and appeared to use more force. However, the corpse's arm did not have any reaction. It gave off the feeling of holding onto a steel pipe!

Li Xiangdong retracted his hand and looked at me, speechless.

I took off my other glove and touched the body.

This time, the woman's arm seemed to have been petrified without any reaction.

"Why is there no reaction again?" Li Xiangdong and Old Army looked at me at the same time.

I raised my hands and looked at my palm. I flipped my palm over and saw the Fire Lightning Mark on my left palm.

The first time I touched the corpse with my left hand, the results were different.

Once again, I extended my left hand and carefully grabbed the female corpse's arm.

Sure enough, her skin had regained the elasticity of a living person!

I suppressed my shock and tried to lift the dead woman's arm to one side of my body, then to remove her other hand from her lap.

Then he moved her legs.

At the other end of the car, I shivered.

I didn't pay much attention to what she was wearing.

Only then did he realize that she was wearing a white dress.

I thought of the girl who had helped me back yesterday, and the strange note.

Isn't she wearing a white dress?!

I can't remember what she looked like, but the dress was.

Resisting the numbness in my scalp, I gently gripped the corpse's ankles with my left hand and pulled down her skirt with my right to straighten her legs.

The corpse had more or less returned to its original flat state. It remained lying on its side with its head still hanging low.

I took a deep breath, walked to the other end of the car, and slowly lifted her head.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

A low shout came from the door.

I was scared to the point that my heart was trembling. Fortunately, my usual work gave me a strong mental fortitude, so I didn't push the corpse away.

I completely flattened the female corpse and helped her tidy up her clothes before looking in the direction of the cry of surprise.

Sang Lan's father and the other three had actually arrived outside the door at some point in time, and were staring at the scene in the room with the two policemen in shock.

Sang Lan covered her mouth with one hand and pointed inside with the other. She shivered for a long time before she finally lowered her hand. That day, when we came back from Qi Tian County, the woman I saw by the river was none other than her! "

Thinking about the first time I came back from Qitian County, I understood why she was so scared.

I took a closer look at the woman's face. She was a pretty girl, a little younger than I'd expected, about eighteen or nineteen years old.

I can't remember what the girl who helped me back last night looked like, but when I looked at her white dress, I felt an inexplicable sense of panic.

Li Xiangdong touched the corpse once again, and his fingers were just about to touch the female corpse's ankles.

Suddenly, the woman's eyes opened!

This time, everyone cried out in alarm.

I immediately pulled Li Xiangdong a few steps back.

Li Xiangdong was the last one to discover that the corpse had opened his eyes, holding his chest and sucking in cold air.

After a long time, he finally said, "She … She's staring at me, and she doesn't want me to touch her body! "

I could only nod my head. The eyes of the corpse were unfocused, unable to express any emotions.

The female corpse's eyes that was opened was indeed squinting towards Li Xiangdong, he almost said, "Don't touch me."

"What do we do now?" Li Xiangdong asked me. The old and calm Public Security Bureau chief also had no more ideas.

I decisively said, "Since the deceased does not want anyone to touch her, we should first send her to the mortuary. Afterwards, we will have your people figure out how to deal with her."

After saying that, I went over to close the woman's eyes.

But just as my hand left her eyes, the corner of her mouth curled up, as if she was smiling!

Looking at the smile on the dead woman's face, I felt a chill run up my feet to the top of my head.

There was a saying in the Yin-Yang business, "One would rather meet a mournful ghost and not provoke a ghost to smile."

If a ghost smiled at someone, it was trying to harm them!

This female corpse didn't want others to touch her, yet she allowed me to unfold her body. Now that she smiled at me, it can't be that she wanted to harm me, right?

I forced myself not to think about it. I took the white cloth sheet, covered the corpse, and pushed the carriage outside.

Outside, the woman's face was drained of color. She looked at the dead body on the cart in terror.

I only glanced at her once before bringing the corpse to the morgue with Old Army.

They left the morgue and walked up the stairs to the back.

Right after he went up, he saw that not far away, Li Xiangdong was conversing with Sang Lan's father.

Just as I was about to go upstairs, Li Xiangdong suddenly called out to me. "Xu Huo, do you have time?

"Alright, I'll go upstairs to wash up and change my clothes."

After washing up, I put the things on the table into my bag. Just as I was about to put away the two peach talismans, I suddenly discovered that one of the peach talismans actually had a blood-like liquid flowing out!

The word on the peach talisman was actually 'Blessed'!

Just when I felt that it was inconceivable, I realized something even more horrifying. The spirit tablet on the table actually doesn't have Li Rui's name on it, but rather the Xu family's late wife, Mao Xiaoyu!
