[Rebirth] Bone Quest

At midnight, the dimly lit police station building.

The air-conditioning in the mortuary where the corpses were placed made people shiver. Qiao Yu's hands were trembling, but he didn't have the courage to open the cabinet where the corpses were stored. The number 014444 had an ominous atmosphere. The corpse was his original body, and such a big fire could even shatter tempered glass, let alone a human being.

Having killed so many people and dissected so many corpses, Qiao Yu never thought that one day he would dissect his own body with his own hands. He could clearly remember every scar on that tormented body, but now he It's too cruel to have to face yourself burned beyond recognition even though you're still alive.

If it wasn't for Cong Rong, if he wasn't reborn in this body, wouldn't he have to face such a thing?Thinking of Cong Rong's winning face and his eyes that seemed to see through everything, Qiao Yu felt deep hatred in his heart. This self-righteous man disgusted him to the core, and he really wanted to pick up a scalpel and stab his heart like that. Just a moment, so that nasty mouth can no longer force myself to dissect the corpse.

Qiao Yu didn't know how he spent the day. All the members of the serious crime team were dispatched to investigate the case. The entire office was empty, only Cong Rong and himself were left. He didn't dare to come to the morgue during the day because he was afraid Seeing his unrecognizable face under the blue sky and white sun, he was even more afraid that his fright would be discovered by Cong Rong.

So he can only wait until late at night when no one is around, and then come here to express his grief to his heart's content without being afraid of being discovered.

A huge sense of fear and suffocation hit his face, and the cold and lifeless room made people shudder even more. He took a breath, wrapped his white robe tightly around his body, and opened the cabinet tremblingly.

The cold corpse was sealed with white opaque plastic. Resisting the desire to vomit, he opened the bag and dragged the corpse out to the dissecting bed with his eyes closed.

Qiao Yu, calm down.You are Li Yexing now, no one in this world knows this secret except yourself, the corpse lying on it is not you, no matter how miserable his death is, it is not you.

Panting heavily, he put on a mask and picked up a scalpel, and opened his eyes.

Lying on the dissecting bed was a scorched black corpse. It was curled up. There were large charred black burns on its limbs and chest. Living dark brown tissue fluid.

Qiao Yu couldn't bear it anymore, he covered his mouth and fell to the ground, retching, sweating all over his body, and the powerful central air conditioner blowing cold wind behind him, making him shiver non-stop.

"Hmm..." Unable to pretend anymore, Qiao Yu hugged his knees and cried bitterly.

It's not me...it's not me!I would rather believe that I was burned to ashes than believe that the carbonized body was me.Clutching her cramping stomach, Qiao Yu tried to stand up but her legs kept trembling, her clothes were already soaked in sweat, beads of sweat slid down her forehead, and her headache was about to explode.

"It must not be me...I don't believe it...I don't believe it...!" He couldn't walk and could only crawl forward step by step on the ground. His palms were so soft that he couldn't support his body at all. He got up again on the ground, and finally propped himself up on his elbows and rubbed against the door a little bit. That beautiful face had lost all color.

Just when he was about to touch the door frame, suddenly...

"Ding"

The sound of metal falling to the ground sounded from behind him. Although it was clear, it was particularly terrifying in this lifeless morgue.

"!"

Qiao Yu shrank together in fright, closed her eyes tightly and didn't dare to look back, the air-conditioning in the mortuary suddenly intensified, and the whirring cooling sound was like a nightmare for Qiao Yu at this moment!

Once the eyes are closed, the other senses will become more sensitive. "哗哗哗" seems to have the sound of metal rolling on the ground, coming towards him, getting closer, getting closer... He held back his screams and squeezed He tightly wrapped his robes tightly, not daring to raise his head.

"Clang"

A gold ring rolled to his foot, hit his shoe, and stopped in circles after hitting his shoe.

Qiao Yu barely opened his eyes, his pupils constricted suddenly when he saw the ring, and he picked it up tremblingly, tears gushing out uncontrollably.

If he had been able to lie to himself that it wasn't him in the first place after seeing the charred body, there was no reason to lie to himself now.Because this ring has been worn on his body since he was born. When he was young, he used a red string to wear it around his neck, and then he wore it on his hand when he grew up. He didn't take it off for so many years until he died. Now This ring appeared here.

The human body will contract strongly after being subjected to high temperature. The tissue fluid inside the body will evaporate and the body will appear curled up. After the skin dries up, the ring will naturally fall off. Perhaps it is pure gold because the ring was not burned but followed the corpse. It was kept in the morgue, and now Qiao Yu picked it up by such a coincidence, is this God's will?

Holding the ring, Qiao Yu couldn't help weeping. He had never cried since he was a child, even at the moment before he died, he didn't shed a single tear, but now he collapsed on the ground and wept like a child.

Suddenly, the door of the morgue opened, and a beam of light came in from outside, Qiao Yu was startled and shouted out.

"what!"

Against the light, he couldn't see the face of the person who came, but no matter how he thought about the person he met in a place like the morgue in the middle of the night, he felt shuddering.The habit he had developed over the years made him quickly take out a scalpel from his pocket and throw it viciously at the door.

The scalpel pierced the air with a fierce murderous look and attacked the person who passed by. The person quickly tilted his head, and the scalpel brushed his hair and slammed into the door frame fiercely.

"I can't see that you still have this trick."

The man turned off the flashlight slowly and walked over. Qiao Yu immediately recognized his tall body and familiar deep voice.

"Cong Rong?!"

"Heh, if it weren't for me, your knife would have killed someone directly, and you still use such a ruthless killing move in the police station?" Cong Rong bent down, his eyes became brighter in the dim light, his mouth With an unclear smile on his side, Qiao Yu suddenly felt like he was being calculated.

"How will you be here?"

"You answer me first, how can a person who can't even hold a scalpel stably make such a killer move? This knife is very tricky in terms of angle and strength, and it is impossible for someone who has not been trained to do it. Tell me who are you."

Cong Rong held up Qiao Yu's chin, his eyes tightly locked on the other's gaze to prevent him from avoiding the slightest bit, but the moment he met Qiao Yu's gaze, his heart skipped a beat.

"Why are you crying?"

Those peach-like eyes were filled with tears, embedded moistly on the slender face, the slender eyelashes were stained with water, and the tears filled the eyelashes, which was pitiful, coupled with that pale face without a trace of blood, clustered Rong felt suddenly breathless.

Qiao Yu quietly hid the ring in his pocket, waved his hand away from Cong Rong's restraint and shrank back, "I'm really scared... that corpse was burned beyond recognition, and the skin all over the body was cracked... I I was so scared, I heard the door was pushed open and thought it was a ghost...so, so I threw the scalpel out without even thinking about it, I really don't know anything, can you take me away, here I don't want to wait a moment...please!"

Li Yexing's voice is between a teenager and a young man, with a particularly pleasant clear and warm texture, like a violin played when he is slightly drunk in the afternoon, with an irresistible charm.His voice was trembling, his whole body was sweating profusely as if he had just been fished out of the water, his fine hair was wet and stuck to his beautiful cheeks, and his expression was flustered like a frightened little animal.

Cong Rong unconsciously slowed down his tone, "It scares you, I really don't know if you were raised by your family as a girl since you were young. If you are afraid, why come to this place in the middle of the night?"

Qiao Yu curled up aggrieved, put her arms around her trembling shoulders and said, "I don't want to, but if I don't finish my work today, I will definitely be scolded by you tomorrow. I know that I am useless for everything." If I can’t do well, I always drag the whole group back, but... I don’t like this, I want to write the report quickly so that the progress of our group can be faster, but I didn’t expect..."

As he spoke, his voice sounded crying, Qiao Yu shrank back in self-reproach, his body trembling with fear and guilt, the tears in his eyes slapped on his knees, and a spot of water smeared out of his dark jeans.

Cong Rong had been observing Qiao Yu quietly, but he didn't find any flaws. Everything Li Yexing said made sense.He has always been a timid and cowardly person, and it is not surprising that he would be frightened at this time, not to mention that his fear and trembling were not pretended, but Cong Rong still felt that something was wrong, the degree of fierceness of the fatal knife just now It is definitely not something that ordinary people can do, let alone a little forensic doctor who has no power to restrain a chicken.

If it hadn't been for years of intensive training, Li Yexing said that he just threw it casually and there was no other meaning. Unreasonable, just imagine that an ordinary person would instinctively use such a professional assassination trick in an emergency?

This Li Yexing has become weird since he was injured. Who the hell is he?

Although Cong Rong was full of doubts, he took off his coat calmly and put it on Qiao Yu's body, "Don't cry, such a big person who is crying doesn't know that I bully you, so don't stay here at night , in case you meet the patrolling guards, you will think you are a corpse thief."

Qiao Yu nodded with sobs, reached into his pocket with his left hand and gently stroked the lion pattern on the gold ring, heaved a long sigh of relief in his heart, this old fox Cong Rong is really difficult to deal with. Come on, fortunately everything is hidden from the past.

He wiped away the tears on his face, sniffed his nose and asked pitifully with a nasal voice: "Why are you here so late?"

Cong Rong smiled lightly, "What do you think?"

Qiao Yu was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to respond, she turned her head away, "Don't talk about falling down."

Cong Rong shrugged his shoulders indifferently and kept silent, as if I should tell you, but he couldn't help but sneered in his heart. During the day, he always felt that Li Yexing was looking at him furtively. Not seeing him step into the dissection room, this made him unconsciously vigilant, and secretly followed him here.

Qiao Yu saw Cong Rong's cold and hard face suddenly showing a smile-like expression, and his heart suddenly felt a little chilly.

"I don't feel comfortable going out to get some air." After speaking, he clenched his fists and turned to go to the bathroom.

When Qiao Yu walked away, Cong Rong's smiling face suddenly turned cold, he checked his pocket and stared at the scalpel stuck on the wall, his face was gloomy and scary.

The entire knife was inserted into the wall, leaving only the handle outside. There were small cracks around the wall, indicating that the moment the knife was inserted, the impact was so strong that it cracked the wall.Such a ruthless trick, even if he changed himself, he would not be able to do it, let alone the weak Li Yexing.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. He walked up to the charred corpse and looked it over carefully. The charcoal-like hideous corpse became even more terrifying in the cold wind in the morgue. Cong Rong calmly wiped every wound on it. They all looked it over carefully, and suddenly they seemed to have discovered the left hand that picked up the corpse.

There is an obvious ring-shaped mark on this scorched hand that is much lighter than the skin in other places. This mark is particularly conspicuous on the almost carbonized body. It seems that a ring should have been worn here, and it should be worn after death. Otherwise, this piece of skin will not be lighter than other places.

But where is that ring?

A clue suddenly flashed in Cong Rong's mind. Something seemed to be coming out but he couldn't find a breakthrough. The only people who had direct contact with this corpse from the scene of the crime to the present were members of the serious crime team. If the ring was in the At that time, the falling off should have been discovered long ago, but no one mentioned it, so there is only one possibility, Li Yexing must have hidden the ring privately!

When Qiao Yu came back, he saw Cong Rong leaning against the wall smoking a cigarette, he walked over and snatched his cigarettes and threw them into the trash can next to him, "Smoking is prohibited here, you have to go to another place to smoke."

Cong Rong was amused when he heard this, this kid is more like a policeman than himself at the moment, who is that kid who was so scared to tears just now.

He took out another cigarette from his pocket and put it in his mouth, took a few puffs and said lightly, "How did you say that the corpse inside died?"

Qiao Yu gave him a hard look, "You're boring. If he wasn't burned to death, how could he die?"

"Well, what's the difference between burning the dead and burning the corpse after death?"

"I don't have time to discuss this with you. If you want to study these things online and look up information by yourself, I'm busy right now, so please step aside." Qiao Yu pushed Cong Rong away and walked into the morgue.

Cong Rong chuckled, and still stood where he was, "Didn't you freak out in fright just now, aren't you afraid of being scared to death again when you go back now?"

"Would I be scared if it wasn't for your sudden appearance? Besides, this is my job, and it's not your turn to intervene. If the Cong Da policeman is so busy, please go out and turn right, thank you."

Qiao Yu's expression was very impatient, his tone was cold like a robot, he completely lost the weak appearance of crying in the mortuary just now, but it's quite interesting to have such a ferocious expression on his delicate face with tear stains , Cong Rong touched his chin with great interest, a little interesting, it turned out that he had been wronged before.The embroidered pillow doesn't look that good either, maybe it's not grass at all but an invisible poison that kills people.

Cong Rong blocked the door, smoking a cigarette with his arms crossed indifferently, as if I wouldn't let you see what you could do with me, Qiao glared angrily, "What exactly do you want?"

"I seem to have forgotten to tell you that I majored in forensic science in college, but almost all of them escaped at that time, so there are many things that I don't understand now. Exactly the shape of a ring."

Cong Rong raised his eyebrows and looked at Qiao Yu with a smile, his expression seemed to be discussing whether the dinner tonight was good or not, but such a natural sentence was as explosive as an atomic bomb in Qiao Yu's ears.

He found traces of the ring on the corpse and came to test me! ?No, the trace of the ring is not obvious, and people who do not have professional knowledge would not care at all, so it seems true that he said that he has taken forensic science as an elective.

Qiao Yu's heart exploded, but the surface was still calm. He put his trembling fingers into his pocket, and said calmly, "Officer Cong is still so interested in forensic science. I don't know if I can be more specific. Tell me, I'm interested in that... oh yes, ring-shaped marks on charred corpses you just mentioned."

Cong Rong smiled slyly, stubbed out the cigarette butt and threw it into the trash can, "So, Ye Xing, would you like to come to my house to talk? After all, it's scary for everyone to talk about this kind of issue in such a gloomy environment. I don't want to talk about it." After a while, someone was so frightened that he hugged me and shed tears."

Qiao Yu clenched her fist, trying not to let herself hit Cong Rong's smiling face.Who the fuck is pissing in the ass, bastard!
