C16 Ghost Injury

This move is called Smoke Discernment. Last night I saw the book that Seventh Uncle gave me that was specifically used to examine Floating Corpses. I learned it and used it on the spot.

This method was naturally recorded in the second half of the book. It was said that the deceased had yet to reach seven years of age, and still had a trace of Qi on her body. The smoke could lead to Qi, and even though the deceased had not yet died, the material used was the fragrance of sandalwood.

But there was nothing in the autopsy room, so I replaced it with the cigarette in my pocket, which was lit next to the headrest.

Strangely, after igniting the cigarette, the fog would usually rise in a straight line or an S shape. However, when the cigarette touched the corpse, it actually descended in a straight line, forming a pool of fog on the sponge.

At the end, the fog seemed to have a direction and all floated towards the direction of the dead man's orifices. When the last cloud of fog seemed to have a direction and all drifted towards the dead man's orifices, the fog finally flew towards the direction of the dead man's orifices.

This time should have been at least five minutes. Both Lin Lu and I looked at the situation with an incredulous expression. The breath that was exhaled was no longer the original white smoke, but rather a turbid yellow smoke.

Lin Lu was curious, but he still wanted to use his hand to hook up the cigarette. I couldn't help but feel weird, so I quickly pulled her up and didn't let her touch it with my hand. At the same time, I glanced at the dead body.

Other than the exposed neck, collarbone, and chest, all of them had dark handprints. Apart from these, there was also a black bruise mark on his arm and calves.

The imprint was thinner and longer than an ordinary person's palm. Furthermore, there was a very sharp fingernail mark on the front. It looked a bit like the Nine Yin White Bone Claw in Jin Yong's novel.

I thought that I was seeing things and hurriedly asked if the bruises were from before. I didn't expect that Lin Lu's eyes would be even more shocked and doubtful than mine. After staring blankly for a long time, I shook my head and said,

"Impossible, the time of death is at least three days. If there were any bruises, they would have already appeared. How could this cigarette appear?"

"You can't help but believe that there's something in this world that science can't explain." I was elated, but I couldn't help but feel that it was strange. The methods recorded in the second half of the Coronation Scripture didn't seem to require any science, and they were hard to explain clearly.

But I couldn't show my cowardice in front of Lin Lu, so I pretended to be very confident and said:

"No matter what, you won't be able to tell that these three handprints are human, right? Above the synthesis, the video you've seen is a ghost handprint."

"Stop trying to fool me."

Lin Lu seemed to have been swayed by my words. He blinked his eyes and said, "I've examined the medical history of the deceased. Three months ago, he took lamotrigine and quetiapine as psychotropic drugs. How can you guarantee that he didn't have a relapse?"

As soon as I heard that, I immediately felt like this girl was looking for trouble. You know that this was a pill taken three months ago, and if that's the case, why did he lose it afterwards?

I asked Lin Lu to bring over the autopsy report. The corpse's stomach and blood didn't contain any trace of this drug, which meant that he didn't take the drug before he died. Maybe he had already recovered.

It was clear that the evidence would not be fully tenable and established.

"If you really think there's a ghost in this world, why don't you come with me to the Paulie Hotel? The corpse was found there, and if there is a ghost, it should be there as well."

I immediately shook my head. Lin Lu was trying to trick me too. If there isn't anyone dying there, then it has nothing to do with me. Why would I bother to wade in this muddy water?

"Don't, give me a thousand, just do it for a thousand dollars. If you want to go to the scene of the crime, then go by yourself." I replied firmly and turned around to leave. I didn't expect this little girl to be so strong. She grabbed my arm.

"Hehe, this corpse was originally fine, but now that you're here, your head has shrunk. You must take responsibility for destroying this corpse." Lin Lu squinted and pointed at the head that was as dry as a date.

My head suddenly buzzed. This was all allowed by Lin Lu.

"What do you want?" I knew perfectly well that she was a certified public official and that she had every right to do anything. Besides, I should never have come to this place, and if I had to be held responsible, she would have left the matter at that, meaning that I had rushed in to destroy the body on my own, and I had no way of dealing with her.

"How about this? I'll give you another thousand yuan. Come with me. That should be fine, right?"

This money really is so easy to earn. I was a bit hesitant, but Lin Lu seemed to understand this very well, and immediately took out the money from his wallet.

The wine is red in the face, the money is fair in the eyes of the people, I am just a common person, seeing money is like seeing life, there is no reason not to be moved, I said no, but my body was very honest, I received a thousand dollars.

"But you have to go tonight. You have to send me back first." Hearing my words, Lin Lu didn't ask me anything and just agreed. Just before she let me off the car, she gave me another instruction.

"If you don't come tonight, you're dead meat."

I actually have a purpose in coming home. The first is to look up the second half of the coroner's book and see if there is anything I can help you with. Second, Lin Lu doesn't believe in ghosts in this world. I want to let her see that ghosts usually only appear at night.

During the day, according to the requirements of the coroner's scripture, I found a pile of cinnabar ashes burnt to ashes. I also found a handful of rooster feathers, which were the colorful ones on the rooster's butt.

According to the scripture, this was an item that could receive yin and yang energy. If it was scattered on the ground, one could see the ghost footprints. This rooster had the heaviest yang energy, and the few feathers on his buttocks could receive this bit of Yang energy, which was why he was born with a different color and was able to avoid evil.

I don't know if that's what it's supposed to be, but it's a bit of a psychological comfort to stay on, so bring it all along.

By the time I finished all these preparations, it was already dark. Around ten o'clock, Lin Lu came to pick me up in a small SUV, and when I saw this, I thought to myself, This woman is quite rich.

"Are you ready?" After getting on the car, Lin Lu handed me a black business suit with red sleeves and told me to put it on.

"Right now, it's a sealed area inside. Just follow me inside and don't talk to anyone else."
