Chapter 4 The Female Corpse in the Morgue Turns Over
I tried to recall everything from last night. When I went out with Old Li, there was a high-heeled shoe at the door of the funeral home. Old Li kicked the high-heeled shoe away. When I saw the female corpse with one bare foot and the same shoe on the other foot, I had doubts, but I didn't think too much.
When I came back, I was in a hurry to push the body to the mourning hall and didn't pay much attention.
Because I went out with my father all the year round, I was very sensitive to such things and immediately felt something was wrong.
I looked at Sister Yaoyao who was still trembling, and felt pity: "Sister Yaoyao, you go back and rest first. The funeral home has been blocked by the police. There is nothing to do for the time being. I will call you after the blockade is lifted!"
Sister Yaoyao almost cried, and she spoke with a crying tone: "Go back and rest, how dare I, Uncle Li just died next door, let alone go back to rest now, I guess I won't dare to go to the dormitory for the next six months."
"Susu, why don't you come with me and clean up the things inside?"
Sister Yaoyao's eyes were full of tears, but they almost didn't flow out.
I was about to agree, but was stopped by a familiar voice: "Xiao Mao, come here, I have something to ask you!"
It was Zhang Gensheng, the deputy director of the police station.
Looking at the pitiful sister Yaoyao, I comforted her softly: "Sister Yaoyao, why don't you go to the front desk first, and I will go with you to pack up later."
"Yeah!"
Sister Yaoyao nodded.
I trotted towards Zhang Dahan: "Uncle Zhang, what's wrong?"
Zhang Dahan looked very nervous. The weather was very stuffy, but it was still early, and he didn't sweat just standing there. He wiped his sweat: "Where did you put the female corpse last night?"
I pointed to Xianliang Hall: "It's over there in Xianliang Hall. After the morgue bed was pushed back, I put her in the freezer, and then went to the dormitory with Uncle Li."
"Come on, take me to see!"
I nodded, a little puzzled, and didn't ask more.
Although I suspected something, I didn't have any evidence now.
After all, people should know themselves and not ask questions that they shouldn't ask.
I took Zhang Dahan to Xianliang Hall and opened the door. It was immediately chilly. There was a freezer for storing corpses. In addition, this kind of place is always in the shade and never gets the sun.
Zhang Dahan hesitated, took a step back, and asked me suspiciously: "Xiao Mao, you are so young and a college student. Aren't you afraid of being a corpse cremator?"
"Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor, what's there to be afraid of?"
When I followed my father before, he often said that as long as you act upright, do things right, and don't do anything wrong, you don't have to be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door.
Zhang Dahan smiled flatteringly when he heard it: "That's right, that's right!"
When we came to the freezer, Zhang Dahan and I opened the ice coffin containing the female corpse together. When we opened the coffin lid, a gust of cold air hit us in the face. This guy almost lost his grip and dropped the coffin lid on the ground.
I was speechless and said in a deep voice: "Uncle Zhang, you have to hold it carefully and put it down gently. And the coffin lid cannot fall to the ground. If it falls to the ground, it will be the sky falling for the corpse inside!"
This is the custom in my hometown. After the corpse is placed in the coffin, the coffin lid is their sky and the coffin board is their ground. If the sky falls, how can the corpse not be weird?
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Zhang Dahan shivered while holding the coffin lid tightly, fearing that he could not hold it firmly.
I guessed that this guy had not done anything good, otherwise why would he be so guilty.
The coffin lid was placed on the long bench next to it. I took a look at the body bag inside, and my face changed immediately. The place where the female corpse's head was placed was slightly bulging upwards.
Wasn't she lying on her side?
I carefully unzipped the body bag. The bag had been frozen all night. Maybe it was because of the dew on the way back, it felt very hard. I almost tore the body bag when I pulled it a few times.
After unzipping it, I looked at Zhang Dahan: "Uncle Zhang, do you want to remove the shroud?"
Zhang Dahan's lips were trembling: "Yes, the high-heeled shoe that killed Lao Li was on his left foot. We found the high-heeled shoe on his right foot outside the funeral home through surveillance. When you came out with Lao Li, he kicked the high-heeled shoe away. Moreover, in the high-heeled shoe that killed Lao Li, we found the same color nail polish as the one on the female corpse's foot."
"Oh!"
I responded and reached out to the white shroud.
Swish!
The moment the shroud was removed, I shuddered violently.
Although I am brave, I couldn't help but be shocked when I saw such a scene.
Under the shroud, the female corpse was in a very different state than before. When I carried her into the mourning hall, I knew that there were some taboos. Even if she was temporarily placed in the ice coffin, her head could only face the door.
At that time, I placed it in this direction, closed the coffin lid after putting it down, and then powered up the ice coffin and left.
I can guarantee that the body did not move at all when it was placed. She was lying on her side when she was placed in. But now, the female corpse is lying flat, with her head away from the bottom of the coffin, in a suspended state, as if she is about to sit up from the coffin.
The most frightening thing is not this.
When she was covered with the shroud, she closed her eyes and lay on her side. Although she was dead, she looked more like she was asleep. Now her eyes are wide open, her eyeballs are deathly gray, and her mouth is wide open.
The pale teeth and the crimson lipstick have changed color to a dark red, and there are slight corpse spots on her pale face.
Zhang Dahan was so scared that he ran away. I uncovered the shroud, but found that the left foot of the female corpse was also bare, and the red high-heeled shoe was missing.
I shouted to the outside of the mourning hall twice: "Uncle Zhang, Uncle Zhang, I found something, come here quickly!"
After a while, Zhang Dahan returned to the mourning hall tremblingly: "Xiao Mao, what did you find?"
"The high-heeled shoe on the left foot of the female corpse is missing!"
"Missing?" Zhang Dahan was shocked again, and he kept saying: "Damn old Li, he killed a woman, this is great, making us all uneasy!"
Zhang Dahan was scared and thought that old Li's death was strange, and it was probably caused by evil. He asked me to cover the shroud, and he went to call the forensic doctor to come for an autopsy.
After a while, the forensic doctor came. After a preliminary examination, they concluded that the female corpse was indeed dead before being frozen. As for why she turned over, it was because she had just died and the temperature of the ice coffin dropped sharply, causing the nerve cells of the corpse to contract, causing her to turn over.
I don’t quite understand these scientific explanations, but the high-heeled shoes on the left foot of the female corpse were missing, which is very strange. They were clearly put into the ice coffin. I locked the door at the time, and there was no movement in the surveillance. It doesn’t make sense at all.
If it is said that Lao Li stole the shoes himself, it is even more impossible. He lives like a smart person. It is impossible for him to be so stupid as to run to the mourning hall, take off the high-heeled shoes of the female corpse, and insert them into his own eyebrows. This is even more inexplicable.
What do you think?
