C15 Smoke Discerning Corpse

"Then why are you looking for me?" This is my territory after all, so I still have to maintain a stronger aura. I plopped down on a chair, pretending to be calm.

However, Lin Lu seemed to have already seen through everything. He said, "Don't worry, Seventh Uncle asked me to come and get your help."

It's this old man again. There's definitely nothing good going on, so I immediately had a bad premonition and said:

"Don't, I sell incense and elemental treasures, what can I help you with? If your family is lacking this, you can take it and burn it. Anyhow, it's inflated these days and won't be worth much."

"Don't play dumb with me." Lin Lu took off his sunglasses to reveal his almond-shaped eyes. He coldly glanced at me and said with a slightly doubtful tone, "Seventh Uncle said you can examine a corpse, so he asked me to come and find you for help."

Isn't this teasing me? How much ability do I have? Seventh Uncle's heart should have already known. At the very most, he'll just fill out the form with the autopsy report. It wouldn't be crazy for this pretty girl to come and help him with the autopsy, right?

"Since you're already the Division Chief, you can still be coaxed into coming to my place. You've done it for nothing, right?" I told her straightforwardly that I really didn't have that ability. But who would have thought that this Lin Lu had eaten a piece of a weighing block and steeled his heart. He took out 10 old heads from his bag and slammed them on my table.

"From the looks of it, I know you don't have that kind of ability. But Seventh Uncle told me to take you there no matter what. I'm only showing you to him to prove that he was wrong."

As long as I look at the corpse, this money is mine. This deal is easy to do, but I still have some lingering fear from what happened last time. I looked at the money on my hand a few times.

On the way to the Heron Island sub-bureau, I curiously asked her how she knew Seventh Uncle, and why Seventh Uncle had asked her to come find me.

"Seventh Uncle is our senior. As for why he's looking for you, I don't know. Perhaps he's just muddled."

That feeling is a little arrogant. It is said that women have a good temper after becoming leaders. It seems that it is true.

I tried to talk to her several times along the way, but the deer ignored me. The two of them awkwardly went to the Heron Island sub-bureau, parked the car, and led me through the side door to the autopsy room.

It had to be said that this place was of high quality. The mosaic floor was so bright that it could reflect a person. The walls on the left and right were made of cold steel. The temperature inside was extremely low, which made it look like a typical sterile environment.

In addition to this, there was an autopsy bed near the center of the room. The light green cotton cloth was dented out of thin air. It seemed like there was a corpse underneath.

Since I had come, I didn't think too much about it. Just as I was about to lift up the corpse cloth, I was stopped by Lin Lu.

She cast a glance at the disposable sterile gloves and the clothes on the side. After I put them on properly and uncover the corpse cloth, I was shocked.

The corpse on the table was shockingly white all over. It looked like the longan that had been soaked in alcohol for many years, or the legendary overage. The corpse was swollen, and all the facial features were twisted.

It was similar to the Lady Xin Zhui, who had dug up the tomb of Ma Wangju.

"This was drowned by the water." I curiously asked Lin Lu. Who knew that Lin Lu would coldly snort at me?

"It looks like Seventh Uncle really misjudged you. You don't even know the most basic method of judgement, and you even said that you could examine a corpse."

Immediately afterwards, Lin Lu and I explained that, in the case of a drowned corpse, it would normally be a man or woman lying on their backs, with a body shape different from that of a man or a woman. The body would be a man or a woman lying on their backs, with their limbs stretched out in front of them, and their hands clenched into fists, and because they would struggle when they fell into the water, they would be short of breath, their mouth or nose would suck water into their intestines, and there would be froth in their mouth or nose, in addition to which there would be pale blood stains under their mouths and noses.

The key point was that when a person was drowning, it would definitely cause friction and bruises during the course of asking for help. None of these corpse's characteristics could be found on the corpse in front of him.

I laughed when I heard this. So this person had come to flaunt his skills. But since he had come, I also wanted to gain some experience. I might as well continue listening to what Lin Lu had to say.

"This body was found in the water tower at the top of the hotel in Pauli last night. The initial conclusion was that the body was dumped after death, but we investigated all the surveillance in the hotel and didn't find the murderer. Moreover …"

When Lin Lu said this, he seemed to find it hard to believe. He didn't continue speaking and I curiously asked:

"Since you're here to ask for my help, I don't care if I can do it or not. Let me be clear with my words first. Being the chief of this division doesn't make any sense at all."

"I don't believe that such a strange thing can happen." The deer told me that while they were investigating the surveillance, they discovered that the dead man was fiddling with some strange posture in the hotel corridor, as if he was arguing with someone and mumbling to himself. However, it didn't take long before he started hitting the air.

Not long after, it seemed as if the dead man was at a disadvantage and was pushed to the ground. Soon after, the dead man floated up into the air and returned to the room.

When he came out, the dead man's head was hanging down. It was as if he was a zombie.

This sounded quite scary. How could a normal person do so many weird things? It would be normal if it was someone else, but the problem was that they started floating in the air.

"Do you think it's a ghost? These two ghosts carried the dead man into the room. The camera could not capture the ghost, so the only thing it could see was the dead man floating up."

I didn't say that out of thin air. After all, I had seen a ghost last time and truly believed in the existence of such a thing in this world.

But when Lin Lu heard my words, he resolutely shook his head and said:

"Impossible, the human body is made up of inorganic substances and organic matter. The brain organs and muscle tissue control the neurons and the body. After dying, the body will become nothing but a ghost, there's no way there could be a ghost."

This girl didn't see the miserable ghost look on Song Jin'er's face after she died, or else I would have given her a fright. I directly asked, "Who do you think you are?"

"If there were no ghosts in this world, Seventh Uncle wouldn't have called you to look for me. There's still some doubt about the cause of death."

Lin Lu's eyes widened in disbelief at what I said. "Do you really believe that this dead person was caused by a ghost?"

At least this is how it is for now. I looked at the corpse and spat out a few words of apology. Afterwards, I fished out a cigarette from my pocket, lit it up, and placed it beside the corpse.
