Born in the dark, Ended in the dawn

It was dark, and the room glowed with a dim orange light.Actually fell asleep in the ward, and after sleeping for so long, the feeling of peace of mind was unbelievably clear.Wei Lan was a little nostalgic for such a peaceful and comfortable moment, turned over, stretched his stiff limbs, and reluctantly got up.

He didn't turn on the light in the room, for fear that the light would disturb the sleeping people. Wei Lan stood at the door, taking advantage of the afterglow of the setting sun coming in from the window, quietly looking at the familiar face on the hospital bed, expressionless and expressionless The voice, if it wasn't for the weak ups and downs in the chest, it would be easy for people to associate it in a bad direction.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt blocked, Wei Lan opened the door in a panic, wondering how he escaped in and how he escaped.I planned to go home to have a casual hot meal, but unfortunately, Lu Yang called and said that he had to work overtime again, so he had to buy a takeaway and take it home to fill his stomach.

Dapi greeted him with the same enthusiasm as before, wagging his tail and circling around Wei Lan, smelling Wei Lan constantly.

"Am I fragrant or stinky? What are you doing with me?" Wei Lan pushed away the tightly entangled skin with a smile, and sat at the dining table with what seemed to be a rich takeaway.This time Da Pi didn't follow, but turned around in circles in the porch, and glanced at Wei Lan's direction from time to time.

"I'll take you out to play in a while, so let me have something to eat, okay?" Opening the lunch box, the aroma immediately wafted out, "It tastes good, do you want to eat?"

Wei Lan picked out a spare rib and threw it into Dapi's food bowl. Dapi uncharacteristically ignored the food on the plate, and squatted at the door sniffing the smell, his tail drooping to the side, looking very unhappy.Seeing Da Pi's pitiful appearance, Wei Lan felt embarrassed to continue to bully it, and took a big bite to clean the rice bowl in the box, and took Da Pi out without even thinking about changing his clothes.

What happened to everyone around me?It's okay if people are abnormal and things are abnormal, but are dogs also abnormal?Da Pi, who used to go out and play like an acquitted prisoner, with his tail still drooping, sniffed the scent as he walked down the stairs slowly. Wei Lan was not in a hurry, and followed Da Pi step by step. Look at this What the hell is going on with the silly dog.

The summer night wind is very cool, or this day just happens to be the legendary Ghost Festival, the sticky feeling of moist air sliding over the skin makes people feel chills down the spine, maybe it was affected by Da Pi's anxiety, Wei Lan unconsciously He became tense, and subconsciously relaxed his steps.

tick.

The faint sound caused by water droplets falling on the ground is like the stones that arouse the ripples in the heart. The music of the square dance, the honking of the traffic, and the noisy voices of people seem to become the soft background sound, dimmed infinitely. weakened.

tick.

Is it raining?The heat from the dry ground made my legs ache. There was no trace of rain, and where did the sound come from?Wei Lan stared at Dapi ecstatically until Dapi stopped moving forward and stopped behind a car, circling anxiously, raising his paws to scratch the trunk of the car from time to time. A dark stain, hard to see what it is in dim light.

Is that... my own police car?I was too tired today, I didn't bother to go back to the police station to release the car, so I just drove home. Could it be that Da Pi is so clean and honest, and the master had a quarrel when he drove home by bus?

Seems wrong!The focus of Dapi's attention has always been the trunk, and the stains underneath.There was a trace of fishy smell in the air, which made Wei Lan's bad premonition stronger, and even the air became a little colder.Wei Lan took out the key in his pocket, and instinctively rejected the action he was going to make in his heart, but the action in his hand was faster than his brain, and he directly pressed the unlock button, and with a click, the trunk lid opened, and the scene before him almost made him almost Fainted.

Where's the phone?Where is the phone?In the frantic groping, the phone fell to the ground, Wei Lan hurriedly picked it up, luckily it didn't break anything, but there were some stains on the shell, greasy, dark red, with a fishy smell that hurt people's heart, that is blood!

Before pressing the number, the phone rang first, and Yin Hang's name suddenly appeared on the screen.

"Hello?" It was just a simple response. Wei Lan couldn't say more words. He knew that Yin Hang was on duty today, and he seemed to know why Yin Hang called him at this time.

"Brother Wei, something has happened! Just now I received an internal call from Xu Xin, over there in the autopsy room..."

"A corpse was lost." Not a question, but a statement, Wei Lan interrupted Yin Hang's anxious speech, and said a fact that shocked both of them, "It was the woman who died in a car accident."

"You... how do you know?"

"Because it's lying in my car right now."

The sharp sound irritated the eardrums, and the sudden tinnitus made Wei Lan dizzy. He didn't hear what Yin Hang said, but before hanging up the phone, Yin Hang said, don't leave, he will come right away.

Even in an extremely bad state of mind, Wei Lan still did not forget to cover the trunk to avoid being seen by passers-by and causing unnecessary confusion.What about cigarettes?where is the smokeAh, by the way, I haven't smoked for a long time. Since I woke up from a coma, I haven't smoked a cigarette, or it's more accurate to say that I failed to smoke a cigarette.

Wei Lan sat slumped in the corner of the flower bed, hugging the restless Dapi tightly into her arms.It turned out that the waiting was so long, every minute and every second was like a knife-cut torment, and the ticking sound that came into the ears from time to time stimulated the already vulnerable spirit.

He has never been afraid of anything, corpses, murderers, he has long seen strange things, but this series of weird events made him not know where to start, and he had a hunch that this was just the beginning, and there would be more such things happening before his eyes , but I can do nothing, can only watch and experience at the mercy of others, and passively participate in it.

The cold Coke bottle was pressed against his forehead, and Wei Lan, who was rarely in a panic, came back to his senses. He reached out to take the Coke and unscrewed the lid. Fight out together.

"It's haunted." Yin Hang also opened a bottle of Coke and took a few sips, staring at the trunk of the car without leaving, "I asked someone to check the surveillance records as soon as I received the news that the body was missing, and no one came in or out. The corpse just disappeared out of thin air. It’s just that I didn’t expect it to appear here.”

"In the morning, something was already very wrong." Wei Lan patted his buttocks and stood up, and there was a big living person standing beside him, and the haze in his heart dissipated a lot, "I don't know if it is a hallucination, she has been Look at me, I'm sure."

"But she died on the spot, right?"

"That's right, that's why I said something wrong. I always feel that she wants to tell me something." Wei Lan scratched her hair with a puzzled expression, "It's inconvenient because there are so many people here, go back to the bureau, you drive."

"What about your Dapi?"

"Walk together."

The office was brightly lit, and it seemed that everyone who had been notified had rushed back.As soon as Wei Lan's police car entered the yard, members of the Criminal Investigation Team [-] immediately surrounded it and began to investigate.The woman's body was twisted and curled up in the trunk, which was more terrifying than the scene of the car accident. Whether it was the neck, arms or thighs, they were all bent at very unnatural angles, as if it would suddenly get up in this posture. Fortunately, Eyes are still tightly closed.

Everyone searched the police car inside and out, but couldn't find any suspicious traces other than the corpse. Only Wei Lan, the person involved, stood far away, watching silently with his chin in his hand.

No clue!No clue!No clue!Everyone present couldn't hide the irritability in their hearts. On the contrary, Wei Lan swept away the previous panic, quickly digested this unreasonable phenomenon, and calmed down again, carefully examining the corpse.

Let's just treat it as a welcome red envelope for the Ghost Festival. Since no human traces can be found, we can simply assume that the corpse came to report the letter, so let's not think about it and start the investigation directly from the corpse.

Touching the dead body through the fingertips of rubber gloves makes people deeply understand that this is death, without speaking or moving, everything cannot be conveyed, and can only wait to be understood in silence.

"Look at her fingers." Wei Lan held the corpse's arm, and raised those twisted fingers to her eyes, "I don't know if it was negligence during the autopsy during the day, or it happened after the corpse was 'stolen'. Three fingers were broken, This was not caused by the impact of a car accident, and there are inconspicuous finger-like bruises on the wrist, which should be left by a strong grip."

"I swear, I didn't have these during the day!" Lu Wei pushed his glasses and interrupted Wei Lan's speculation, "I watched Xu Xin's autopsy, but we were indeed negligent at the time, because we knew clearly that the car accident caused internal organs to rupture and lose blood. Too many to die, and no further examination of the hands was done."

The smile appeared on Wei Lan's face again, making people suspect that it was another person who was in a panic before. This smile is like a reassurance, which relaxes the spirits of the people around him. There will always be.

"Tell me what you find, don't laugh so disgustingly." Liu An impatiently threw away the blood-stained gloves, he just hates Wei Lan, he doesn't know what sorrow is, even if it's sorrow, it's just for a while This kind of optimism made his teeth itch with hatred.

Wei Lan didn't answer right away, it wasn't that he wanted to show off, but he wasn't sure whether his guess was correct.He tried his best to open the palm of the corpse, and the corner of the piece of paper held between his fingers was like digging for gold in the mud, but when he took out the corner of the paper, everyone's emotions were mixed.The worry is that the important part of the paper may have been snatched away, and what is left is only the corner with nothing. The joy is that there is a horizontal line on the top of the corner, which is the format line printed on the note paper, sky blue The lines seem familiar.

Now that the corner of the note was found, it can be speculated that someone stole the corpse and took the note from the corpse in order to prevent the note from being discovered.But this will create new doubts. Who can avoid monitoring and steal the body?And why did you stuff the body into the car Wei Lan was driving?

Destroy clues, provide clues, which one is the real cause of this incident?Or……

Both coexist.
