Chapter 99: The Murder at the Dead Man's Inn
Apart journeys are like a mountain, and each journey has its own rules and statements.
Finally, he had enough rest, and Jiang Chen had almost understood the industry of driving corpse. The story collection of Lao Liang only included a part of the real profession of "piercing corpse" and many statements and taboos.
Seeing Jiang Chen following them, the corpse-driver in front was not very good.
"Don't get me wrong. I just happened to take this road. Don't worry, I will keep the secret for you, and I won't talk nonsense, and I won't disturb you when you rush forward."
After hearing Jiang Chen's promise, they finally felt much more relieved.
The corpse-driver in front was shaking the soul-catching bell and pounding the gong. The dead man pretending to be in front of him was holding the people in front with one hand. Because they were wearing straw hats, talisman paper on their foreheads, and walking with their heads down, they could not see their faces, which added a mysterious and weird atmosphere.
Jiang Chen followed them, and the group didn't walk very quickly.
The sky gradually became dark, and I finally found an inn when it was completely dark.
It was said that it was an inn, but it was for the "corpse-dead" and the "corpse-driver". The corpse-driver told Jiang Chen that it was a "corpse-dead inn".
The "corpse inn" is a mysterious "corpse inn" that only houses dead bodies and corpse craftsmen, and most people do not live there. Its door is open all year round because behind the two door panels is where the corpse stops.
The corpse-driver drove the corpse and arrived at the "corpse shop" before dawn and left quietly at night. The corpses stood neatly behind the door panel against the wall. When it was rainy, it was difficult to leave, so it stopped in the store for a few days and nights.
Ordinary people don’t want to stay in a “dead inn”, but Jiang Chen doesn’t mind.
He asked the shop owner to tie the horse and get some fodder for the horse to eat.
Jiang Chen and the "Corpsy" each asked a guest room and asked the guy to bring some wine and food.
The guys here are used to people like "piercing corpses", so they treat "piercing corpses" almost the same as those of ordinary people.
Soon the food was called. Jiang Chen was drinking a small wine while eating the food, wondering if those who disguised themselves as dead people had dinner with the "corpse-driver" together.
Jiang Chen walked out of the room and came to the next door and knocked on the door.
There was no response inside, and the door was opened after a while. The "corpse-driver" looked a little impatient when he saw that it was Jiang Chen again.
"I'm just bored and come to you to rush around."
The "corpse-driver" was speechless. This little ancestor could not scold or beat him, but he really had no choice but to do anything to him.
Jiang Chen saw the three people standing by the wall disguised as bodies.
Jiang Chen saw four bowls on the table. Their food was either very good, just a few bowls of rice and a bowl of vegetables.
This "corpse-driver" doesn't earn much money.
"Stop pretending, eat your meal."
After Jiang Chen said this, the three of them returned to their seats to have dinner.
"You guys eat slowly, I'll go back to have a meal, too."
When he returned to his room, he ate all the dishes and his stomach was full, and Jiang Chen sat cross-legged on the bed and began to practice.
The "Dead Inn" is very quiet, and sometimes you can hear crows and other beasts calling around.
If you are timid, you won't dare to live here at all.
I don’t know how long it took, Jiang Chen suddenly heard a thunder sound outside, and not long after, he heard the sound of rain on the roof "Drip ~".
It was still fine during the day, but it rained at night.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and Jiang Chen doesn't care at all, because even if the rain has not stopped tomorrow, he can continue to live here.
I guess those corpses won’t be able to rush on rainy days.
Jiang Chen closed his eyes and continued to practice.
Anyway, there is nothing to do, practice can pass the time.
When Jiang Chen opened his eyes again, it was no longer raining outside, and it felt late, so he lay down and fell asleep soon after.
The next day, Jiang Chen was woken up. It was just dawn and he wanted to sleep more, so why did he make a noise outside?
Although Jiang Chen was not angry, he was a little annoyed.
He walked out the door and came outside, and saw a few people blocking a room.
Jiang Chen walked over and was scared to the guy's shoulder.
"Ah! Ghost!"
This guy was photographed and was so scared that he reacted so much.
Everyone was also startled by his voice, and everyone's nerves might be tense.
"What are you calling me? And why are you quarreling here in the morning?"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Jiang Chen.
"The dead people in this room were done by zombies, to be precise, the three zombies from the corpse-driver yesterday."
What a mess.
"You guys get out of the way and let me go in and take a look."
Jiang Chen was very powerful, so they automatically made a way for Jiang Chen to enter.
As soon as he entered, Jiang Chen saw the dead people on the ground.
Jiang Chen had killed many people, so he was not afraid of the dead. He walked over and squatted down and touched the corpse. The corpse was cold.
Jiang Chen had read a medical journal before, which introduced how to judge the time of death based on some corpse phenomena.
All are the temperature of the corpse. The temperature here is not the surface temperature of the corpse, but the internal temperature. Generally, the rectum or liver area is measured with a thermometer.
The second is corpse spots. The time of death of corpse spots is also based on the shape of corpse spots. From the accumulation period, diffusion period, and infiltration period, the color of corpse spots is different in each period. For example, there are several nodes for six hours, corpse spots can be transferred, corpse spots do not transfer after 12 hours, and corpse spots do not fade after 24 hours. These are the rules summarized by the forensic predecessors.
There are also corpse zombies and corneal turbidity.
Jiang Chen has a good memory and can never forget everything he has seen in his previous life.
He examined the body and probably speculated that the time of death of the deceased should be in the early morning.
Jiang Chen touched his clothes, and the things on his body were gone. When he looked in the room, the package was still there. Jiang Chen opened the package and saw that there was only clothes and no money.
Jiang Chen speculated that he should go into the house to rob. Jiang Chen picked up the deceased's hand. His nails were a little long and there were bloodshot inside his nails, which should have been left behind by the struggle.
The fabric on his body is of good quality, and the shoes he wears are 70% new, and he dresses like a passing businessman.
Jiang Chen turned his body over and saw finger marks on his neck. The finger marks penetrated deep into the flesh. It looked like a zombie's long nail stab wound.
But when Jiang Chen was about to turn the corpse over, he suddenly found that there were eleven purple fingerprints on the neck of the deceased. What does this mean? This shows that the murderer had one hand with six fingers.
According to the fingerprint position of the sixth finger, this should be the extra finger on the right hand.
"Man, is the person who drove the corpse still in the inn?"
"Are not here, they usually sneak away at night."
Jiang Chen knew that they were definitely not doing it, because he clearly remembered that the fingers of those people were normal, and none of them had an extra finger.
If the murderer is still in the inn, he will definitely be found, and he is afraid that he will run away after he kills the person.
In this ancient times, when people were bleeding from the world, it was very common for people to die, and sometimes the government was too lazy to care about it.
