Chapter 23 Chapter 22

Although I also know the specific formula of this drug, I even thought about it in my heart, if I do it, I may be able to control it better, and I can definitely keep this corpse for hundreds of years, not only Does not rot, even like a living person. It's just that doctors have a parental heart and take it as their own responsibility to help patients in pain. How can they do such unconscionable things?I even always thought that this kind of sorcery should not be spread, otherwise, if it falls into the hands of some villains, it will naturally cause endless harm. I thought about it, asked two police officers to help, took off the patient's clothes, and took a closer look. The patient's abdomen was indeed black, as if it was corrupt, but it was as hard as iron.

I nodded, and that was indeed the case. This should be a normal reaction after being drugged into the brain. Once any animal dies, the first thing to rot is naturally the internal organs in the abdominal cavity, etc. Although it seems a bit disgusting to say this, but this But it is a fact.Therefore, it is rumored that in ancient Egypt, in order to preserve the corpses, the pharaohs would take out the internal organs by the priests after death, dry them and store them separately, and the corpses were preserved with spices.But this strange medicine can make the internal organs weather and dry in the abdomen first...

The more I thought about it, the more horrified I became, and I couldn't help shivering. Although it was broad daylight, my whole body was cold. "Doctor Xu, how are you? Do you know the cause of death?" Director Chen asked, squatting beside me regardless of the smell of the corpse. "It's basically certain that this corpse was murdered by a homicide!" I said as I uncovered the dead man's hair to show him, "Look, this skull has obviously been uncovered, and then it was stitched back together with some special techniques. .” Director Chen looked at it carefully, and immediately changed his face, and said angrily, "Who is so cruel?"

"This person should be a doctor, and his methods are very clever!" I continued to explain. "Doctor Xu, why do you say that?" Mayor Niu also came over and asked. "Major Niu, think about it, if it were you—I'm just making an example, would you be able to take off a living person's skull and then sew it back together? And make it so perfect?" I asked . Mayor Niu also changed his expression when he heard the words, and said after a while: "It's fine to cut someone with some brute force, but things like this...Doctor Xu, don't scare me!"

"This man's abdomen is dark and hard as iron. It is definitely not a sign of a normal person's death. It should be the result of the drug, and this drug can be prepared..." When I said this, I suddenly stopped talking. "Doctor Xu, what's the matter?" Director Chen asked hurriedly. "This person's method is really too cruel!" I shook my head and said, I stood up, took a few steps back, and stared at the corpse in a daze again. This person has spent so much effort, he did not hesitate to take the risk of killing people, and getting a corpse out, wouldn't it be fun?He should have another purpose, but what purpose does he have?

Master once said before that the Xiangxi Exorcism Gate and Miao puppetry are some evil people who like to play with corpses, but we have never heard of such evil things in our place. "Doctor Xu, can you determine the exact time of death?" Director Chen asked. "Well! About ten to fifteen years, because it's too long, I really can't determine the exact date." I shook my head. "What?" Mayor Niu and Director Chen exclaimed together, "Doctor Xu, are you kidding me?" "This man has been dead for a long time!" I said seriously. Director Chen looked at me, frowned and said: "Doctor Xu, don't mind, I'm telling the truth, although I don't know autopsy, if this person has been dead for a long time, the body should have rotted long ago. If it is More than ten years, I'm afraid there are only bones left..."

"This man died unexpectedly." I explained with a frown. "Look at his skin, there are obvious signs of dryness. Normal people die with swelling and rot, but he is dry. This is the result of certain drugs." ——His skull was uncovered because someone stuffed it with medicine..." "What kind of medicine can actually keep a person alive for such a long time after death without the corpse decomposing?" Mayor Niu raised his brows suddenly after hearing this, and asked. Although the government has repeatedly called for cremation of corpses and does not recommend burials, in these remote small places, burials are still very popular, and Chinese people are influenced by Confucianism, and their bodies are hair and skin. Naturally, it must not be damaged, and I want to preserve my body after death.

Therefore, although Mayor Niu didn't say it explicitly, I still guessed his intentions to some extent.This man is a dutiful son, now the old man Niu can be said to be counting the days, it will be a matter of time, and he also understands very well in his heart that if he is buried, he naturally does not want his father's body to rot. I looked at Mayor Niu and explained: "When the person is still alive, the person's skull is uncovered, the brain and other things are taken out, and some special medicine is inserted. At this time, theoretically speaking, the person is already dead... "

"Do you... want a living person?" Mayor Niu and Director Chen both changed their expressions. I nodded and said: "Although people are dead, some organs of the human body are still alive. It's just that people have lost the ability to think, so naturally they won't feel pain." When I said this, I frowned, and then Continued, "Under the effect of the medicine, the corpse will become rigid and dry-look at this person's fingernails, no normal living person's nails will stay so long, how can they do things if they stay so long? According to the length of his fingernails, I roughly judged that he died ten years ago. Director Chen, check, is there any inexplicable missing persons in this town ten years ago?"

Director Chen sighed, shook his head and said, "How can I check this?" Mayor Niu sighed: "If it's between one or two years, you can check it. Ten years ago... hey... What's more, if it was ten years ago, it may not be from this town. Any nearby mountain village It's all possible!" I nodded when I heard the words. In fact, this is indeed the case. To put it simply, I left my hometown. If I died outside for more than ten years, I am afraid that no one in the old village would know about it, and no one would report it. Such a case , it is indeed impossible to check.

Director Chen had no choice but to order someone to carry the body and leave. After thinking about it, I always felt that something was wrong with the corpse, so I quietly said to Director Chen: "Director Chen, although the investigation of the case is the business of your public security personnel, , we ordinary people cannot intervene. However, I always feel that this corpse is very evil, and it is best to be cremated as soon as possible!" Director Chen nodded and said: "Doctor Xu's concern is that it's already late today, and I'll have someone take the body to the crematorium to be burned tomorrow morning, and I'll take a few photos when I get back to see if I can find out who the dead is! " I bid farewell to Director Chen and walked back with Mayor Niu.Along the way, Mayor Niu asked me: "Doctor Xu, how did you know that the skull of that corpse was dug up?" "I used to study medicine with my master, and I heard his old man talk about some sorcery, and this is one of them." I didn't hide anything, and said directly. "Where is Master Zun from?" Mayor Niu asked. I was taken aback for a moment, I didn't understand why he asked such a question, and when I thought about it carefully, my back broke out in a cold sweat. This mayor, Niu, probably doubted my master, right? However, I replied honestly: "I don't know, he has been away for several years!" "I have lived such an old age in vain, and I have experienced some things, but I have never heard of such magic. If you didn't tell me today, we would not have discovered that this corpse has been tampered with!" Niu Zhen Long said, "The teacher is not a local, is he?" I shook my head. I don't know where my master is from. I don't know anything except that my master's surname is Sun. "Doctor Xu, I know you. You have a good reputation in the village. Both your parents work in other places, and you are very filial. You never ask for gold or silver as a gift for treating people. I really admire you!" Niu Zhen Chang said, "But in this case, I really doubt Master Ling..." "My teacher has been away for many years!" I am not worried about Master and other old people at all. Master is already old and has been away for many years. Mayor Niu wanted to check, but there is no way to find out. His old man would never do such a heartless thing. Mayor Niu stopped talking, changed the subject for a long time and asked, "My old man, Dr. Xu, can you be saved if you give me a correct sentence?" Since he asked this question, I didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "Originally, if it was just petrification, you can try it. Although the medicine I used is a bit strong, it will kill people, but the chance of success is still very high. Now, even if the old man stabilizes, it will be good if he can delay for ten days and half a month." "What is the old man's illness?" Mayor Niu asked. "It's not a common disease!" I said after being silent for a moment. Mayor Niu was walking in front, but when he heard the words, he stopped suddenly, turned to look at me, and asked, "Doctor Xu, what do you mean?" I kicked the stones on the side of the road, thought about what to say, and said for a long time: "The old man was poisoned at first, and then he was bewitched..." "How is this possible?" Mayor Niu shook his head and said, "As the mayor, I will naturally offend some people, but who can get along with my father? Besides, it is possible to be poisoned. At home, I can’t even move, how could I be possessed by evil spirits?” I understood what Mayor Niu meant, and immediately explained: "There are two kinds of evil spirits. The first is that you accidentally messed with something dirty; the second is man-made..." "You said, my father's bewitching was man-made?" Mayor Niu asked. "I can't guarantee it!" I shook my head and said, I haven't seen such things with my own eyes, so naturally I don't dare to talk nonsense. Mayor Niu didn't ask any more questions, and walked to the house first, and I followed.As soon as I got to the door, I smelled a smell of vinegar. Niu Zhenhua came out to greet me, and I asked, "Have you given medicine to the old man?" "I haven't woken up yet!" Niu Zhenhua shook his head and said, "I'm thinking of waiting for Grandpa to wake up before feeding him." Mayor Niu agreed, turned around and walked towards the back room. Since the old man hadn’t woken up yet, I didn’t need to stay. I was about to leave and find a small hotel to stay in. Unexpectedly, Mayor Niu’s voice suddenly came from the back room: "Zhenhua—" Niu Zhenhua hurriedly ran inside, I didn't know what happened, so I followed. "Where's your grandfather?" Mayor Niu growled. I went inside and saw that the couch was in a mess, as if after a fierce struggle, but the old man Niu had disappeared. "I don't know..." Niu Zhenhua was dumbfounded immediately, staring blankly at the bed and said. "Where did you go just now?" Mayor Niu roared angrily. "I'm decocting medicine in the room outside..." Niu Zhenhua said with a guilty conscience. "Have you been outside?" Mayor Niu snorted and asked. "I... went out for a while..." Niu Zhenhua bowed his head. With a crisp sound of "pa", mayor Niu was furious and slapped Niu Zhenhua hard on the ear. Niu Zhenhua staggered from his beating, but he didn't dare to say a word. "Mayor Niu, don't worry, it's important to find someone quickly." Upon hearing this, Mayor Niu pointed at Niu Zhenhua and said, "What are you still doing? Why don't you go out and find your grandpa!" "Oh..." Niu Zhenhua heard the words, as if he had been pardoned, he turned around and ran outside. I stood there, looked at the couch, and remained silent for a long time. "Doctor Xu—" Mayor Niu called me. "Mayor Niu, this is not right!" I shook my head again and again. Mayor Niu asked, "What's wrong?" "Based on my judgment, Mr. Niu definitely doesn't have the physical strength to go out by himself." I shook my head and said, this is completely unreasonable, and it is daytime, my injection can make the old man calm down for at least two hours. I can absolutely guarantee it. As long as the old man doesn't go crazy, he won't have the strength to run out by himself.
