Chapter 109 - Snake-Mouth Flowers

Even Ma Li who was used to seeing 'big occasions' could not help but shiver when she saw the face of the female corpse. The rest of the people started to exclaim in a low voice.

The female corpse not only turned around, but also revealed a strange and eerie smile.

What was even more terrifying was his face … Was this a human face?

Because of some of the star effects, modern women take the cone-shaped face as their beauty.

The female corpse's face was a perfect 'cone'. It really was like a cone, from her forehead to her pointed chin, it was almost a sharp triangular shape.

The weird thing was her mouth.

That red lips should have been like cherry blossom lips, but now, along with that eerie smile of the female corpse, they exaggerated to the extreme. At first glance, it looked like a red double bar line had cut that triangular face into two parts.

This face is extremely weird, but I can still recognize that this is Zhang Ping who went to number 31 not long ago!

Thinking about that black aura just now, I told Ma Li not to get any closer. One of them walked over and carried out a preliminary examination of the corpse. Other than the weird expression on her face, she didn't find anything else unusual.

Seeing me get up, Ma Li asked: "How was the preliminary test?"

I took two deep breaths and said, "The lightning rod went down the side of the throat. It didn't pierce the carotid artery or the cervical spine. "But …"

"But what?"

"She didn't struggle."

Ma Li was startled. She walked forward to take a closer look and turned around, her eyes filled with shock.

As a medical student, I naturally knew why she had such a reaction.

The lightning rod had not pierced through any fatal spots, which meant that Zhang Ping did not die immediately after being stabbed through the neck.

Judging from the results of the various tests that followed, she should have had at least fifteen to twenty minutes of independent consciousness after being stabbed.

Survival was a human …. … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … In other words, the instinct of all animals was that anyone should try to break free from the piercing process during this period of time.

In other words, ever since Zhang Ping's neck was pierced through, she had been lying there silently, waiting for death to befall him …

The body was carried into the car.

Ma Li walked in front of me and frowned slightly, as if she was hesitating on something.

After a while, he said, "Let's go back to work."

After getting into my own car, Sang Lan and Pan Ying asked how Zhang Ping was doing.

"Dead."

… ….

After returning to the laboratory, Ma Li and I immediately began to carry out a further examination of the corpse.

After finishing the blood sample, Ma Li took off her mask and frowned:

"The roommates who lived with her said that they sang until one in the morning at KTV, drank a lot of wine and then went out for supper, returning to the crime scene around 2: 30 in the morning. The three of them took the elevator up to the rented floor, which was the twelfth floor. The dead man did not enter, but went up the stairs to the roof. She must have slipped and slipped when she was drunk, and the lightning rod had pierced through her neck … But why is there no sign of struggle? "

"Maybe that's the answer." I pointed to the private part of the body beneath the dress.

"What do you mean?" Ma Li asked.

I hesitated. "I applied for the Y."

"Is it necessary?" Ma Li looked straight into my eyes.

"Yes."

"Then check."

… ….

"Clang clang!"

I put a piece of the object I'd taken from under the body into a stainless steel tray with a pair of tweezers and fought the urge to vomit to tidy the body up.

"What is this?" Ma Li looked at the tray in shock.

"It's a bone, a snake's bone."

"Snake bone?"

"Yes." I nodded.

"Who was so abnormal, putting this damned thing under her body?" Ma Li asked angrily.

I pushed the body into the freezer and took off my mask and gloves. "She probably put it in there herself," I said coldly as I took off my coat.

Ma Li was startled, "Why would she do that?"

"To be beautiful, to be attractive."

I told Ma Li that when I was still exorcist in the past, I took over a business deal.

A woman, in order to please her lover, had learned a kind of sorcery from who knows where. The way was to find a snake whose tongue was' blooming '. While the snake was still alive, she would pull out the flower and root of the snake's tongue and swallow them whole.

He then cut off a section of the snake's body and stuffed it into his own body along with the charm.

As the body of the snake rotted, this woman's appearance would gradually change, and she would …

Without waiting for me to finish, Ma Li told me to stop.

Let's not talk about her, even my own words made me want to vomit.

But that's the truth. I still remember when I took out a piece of carrion with bones from under that woman.

The word "witchcraft" didn't get recognition from the family at all. Zhang Ping's death could only be attributed to … Accidental death.

Ma Li asked me to pass the inspection report to Zhao Qi.

Outside the laboratory, the sky was already bright.

Arriving at the office, unexpectedly, I saw Sang Lan's father, that woman, and Ji Yayun.

"Xiao Fu!" The woman staggered up to me and clasped my hand in both of hers.

Just as I was about to get rid of her, one of her words struck my ear like a thunderbolt.

"Where's your father? How did he die? "

I reacted for a while before asking curiously, "What did you say?"

"Xu Huo!"

Zhao Qi came out of his office and said to Shen Qing who was behind him: "Bring your family to identify their corpses."

He turned around and said to me: "Xu Huo, follow me in."

I looked at Sang Lan, then at the woman, then pushed away her hand and followed him into Zhao Qi's office.

"This is the autopsy report of the deceased Zhang Ping."

Zhao Qi took the report and placed it to the side. He picked up the cigarette case, shook it out and gave one to me, "Have a smoke first."

He lit one himself, took a deep breath, and slowly said:

"The reason I asked you to go on vacation a few days ago is because the identity of the deceased in this case is rather special to you."

I nodded subconsciously.

"The victim's name is Xu Ronghua."

Although I was mentally prepared for it, after hearing this name that should have been familiar yet felt unfamiliar, my body still couldn't help but tremble.

I took a drag on my cigarette and asked, "How did he die?"

"Accidental death." Zhao Qi's eyes flashed, and asked after a while: Do you want to meet him?

I wanted to shake my head, but after hesitating for a moment, I nodded.

Although she didn't have much feelings for her so-called father, just like she did for that woman, as an adult, what she had to face couldn't be avoided.

Returning to the laboratory, Sang Lan and her family were there all.

Ma Li seemed to have been waiting for me. When she saw me, she pressed on my shoulder and asked softly, "Zhao Qi already told you everything?"

"Hmm, where is the corpse?"

"Downstairs in the morgue."

At the morgue, I finally met the man I should have called my father.

Except for the cold from the freezer, which made me feel a little cold, I didn't feel anything.

The man in the freezer was even stranger to me than the woman.

Out of professional habit, I asked Ma Li: "How did he die?"

Ma Li looked at Sang Lan's family and said softly:

"The body was found in a hotel room. There were two men and a woman, and the cause of death was the same. They all died of sudden cardiac arrest due to overdose of some drug. When they were discovered … All three are naked. "

It took me a moment to realize what she meant by 'some kind of drug'.

The woman was crying so hard that her eyes were red and swollen, she didn't hear what I had said to Ma Li.

She pulled me to say something, but before she could open her mouth, I pulled away from her and said loudly: "I'm sorry, I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I …

"Don't bother my life!"

Two men and one woman, they weren't wearing any clothes at all. This old fellow sure knew how to play.

Why did I have to come here and make myself feel bad?

As if expecting that I would lose control, Ma Li followed me out of the morgue and caught up to me:

"Youngest junior brother, I can understand how you're feeling right now." I don't know how to comfort you. You should continue your vacation and come back to work after you have adjusted your mood. "

"Li-jie, I …"

"You what you? Everyone has their own emotions. When I first fell in love, not to mention working, I even almost jumped into the river! "

I was stunned. "How many times have you fallen out of love?"

"Scram!"

When I got out of the police station, my mind was still in a mess.

Ma Li was right to let me take a holiday.

In the field of forensic medicine, psychological qualities and professional knowledge were equally important.

I knew clearly in my heart that with my current condition, the probability of me making a mistake if I were to persevere on watch was simply too high.

Weng … "Weng …"

I picked up my phone from the bridge. Seeing that it was Old Army calling, I immediately picked it up.

"Old Army Uncle..."

"Xu Huo, listen to me …" The sound of the Old Army's hurried breathing came over the phone, "I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on this time. Son, I don't have any money. "I don't have any relatives, the password for my salary card is …"

"What's the matter with you?" I hastily asked, "Uncle, where are you?"

"I'm at the Sha River Woods...."

"I'll be right over!"

He rushed all the way to the forest farm.

Just as I was about to call Old Army, someone suddenly knocked on the car window.

Looking up, I couldn't help but be shocked.

The man was short and obviously standing, but his old face was pressed against the window of my car.

Through the glass, the dark skin and flesh of his face were clearly visible.

One of his eyes was closed, and between his eyelids was a pile of black polyps, like fresh grapes.

At first glance I thought it was a ghost.

I motioned for him to step back, opened the door, and got out of the car.

He was a hunchback, and one of his eyes was blind!

"You are Xu Huo?" The old hunchback asked.

"I am, you are …"

"Hurry up and follow me!" The old hunchback turned and left, although his footsteps were hurried he was not fast, "Old Army is about to die!"

"What happened to my uncle?" I was close to tears.

After leaving the hospital, I only went back to see him once.

It's not that I don't want to go, but there are too many strange things happening to me.

I tried to control myself, but I couldn't pretend that nothing had happened, that I hadn't heard what was being said.

The words of the goatherd, in particular, were like a nail hammered into my heart with a hammer.

I am a f * cking disaster, a fiend … After so many years, I don't know if the people around me are in trouble because of me …

"What happened to Old Army Uncle?" I asked again in a tearful voice.

"Hurry up!" The old hunchback said while gasping for breath.
