"This was found in a mountainous area in Fushun. Let me tell you what you two think first!" Liu Tieyi said to my Qian Shan.

The mummy's corpse in the photo was wrapped in cloth strips for many years, with only half of the face and one palm exposed. The corpse showed an unusual gray-green color, and the muscles of the fingers were abnormally dry, but the fingernails

But it is extremely well preserved. I don't know why, but I always feel something is wrong when looking at this corpse, but I can't tell what went wrong.

Qian Shan was the first to speak: "Brother Liu, which dynasty is this from? Only Xinjiang has discovered existences similar to mummies before. Unexpectedly, mummies can also be found in Fushun. This should be regarded as a major discovery in the archaeological world!"

Hearing Qian Shan, a faint smile appeared on Liu Tieyi's face, as if he had expected that we would ask such a question. He paused for a moment and said word by word: "Modern!"

"What?"

"What!"

Upon hearing this answer, Qian Shandeng and I were stunned.

Liu Tieyi continued: "According to our monitoring of the corpse, this mummy should have been dead for about half a month!"

"Half a month!"

Qian Shan and I said almost in unison.

If the modern era Liu Tieyi mentioned before was the 1960s and 1970s, Qian Shan and I might be able to accept it reluctantly, but when we heard that it was modern times, we could only describe it as shocked.

The mummies previously discovered in Xinjiang by our country were mainly the result of the corpses being buried in sand and then slowly dried. The whole process ranged from several years to more than ten years. Even if they were artificially made like the Egyptian pharaoh mummies, it would take at least seven years.

Eighty days, and if the mummy in front of us died half a month ago, could it be artificial?

In an instant, a horrifying picture was sketched in my mind. A corpse was placed next to the fire, being slowly turned as if making dried meat. Thinking of this, I could only feel the hairs all over my body.

It stood upright.

"Judging from our current test results, the blood and body moisture of the corpse should have been sucked dry in a very short period of time. At the same time, we have a puncture-like wound on the neck," Liu Tieyi pointed at the mummy.

He added to me and Qian Shan at the neck.

"Sucked dry?"

Hearing Liu Tieyi's words, I was immediately shocked. If the blood of this corpse was sucked dry in a very short period of time, it would be okay, but if it is said that even the water in the body was drained in a very short period of time, it would be okay.

It was drained dry within a short period of time, and it was drained from the hole on the neck. It can be said that it is completely inconsistent with human body science.

"Are you sure it was dried?" I confirmed to Liu Tieyi again and made a gesture of baking with fire.

Looking at my gestures, Liu Tieyi did not show any surprise: "You can also say that."

I'm a little confused now. I don't understand what Liu Tieyi is thinking at all. Maybe he didn't deny the one who was sucked dry, and he probably didn't deny the one who was dried. Could it be that he was sucking and drying at the same time? This process sounds too much.

It's complicated.

Liu Tieyi seemed to see through my thoughts and explained to me: "Judging from the current state of the corpse, the water in his body should have been quickly evaporated through the pores. If you look carefully at their pores, they are obviously much larger. This is

Because after the water evaporates

, the state of the skin after it has lost its elasticity. In addition, there is no trace of baking on the skin on the surface of this corpse. Therefore, the moisture on its body can be said to be dried or sucked dry.

Yes, it’s just that the suction was not from this needle hole, this needle hole should be the wound left after the deceased was injected with something before he was alive!"

Hearing Liu Tieyi's words, a sudden inspiration flashed in my mind, and I quickly looked at the photo carefully again. At this moment, I finally understood why I always felt something was wrong just now. The withered corpse in the photo was exposed.

The outer eye protrudes outward.

The eyeball is different from other parts of the body and is relatively separated from the body. Although the water in the body has been drained in a short period of time, the water in the eyeball has not completely dried up. It is not like the deep-set eye sockets of other mummies. Therefore,

This resulted in this incongruous situation.

I suddenly thought of a question and asked him quickly: "Do you suspect that this person was murdered?"

Liu Tieyi took one of several photos, pointed at it with his finger and said to me: "Look at this place carefully."

This is a close-up photo of a part of a mummy corpse. Judging from the location, it should be the chest area of ​​the corpse. At first glance, I didn’t find anything special about it, but since Liu Tieyi asked me to see this place, there must be something else.

What’s more, when I compared it with other photos again, I suddenly discovered that in this photo, the color of several places on the chest seemed to be different from other places, and the skin in these places was relatively more sunken.

.

When I carefully connected these concave places, I was suddenly shocked, and at the same time I understood what Liu Tieyi was referring to: "Is this a curse seal?"

Liu Tieyi glanced at me approvingly: "Yes, it's the curse seal!"

"Curse seal? What curse seal?"

After hearing what Liu Tieyi and I said, Qian Shan also came over, took the photo in my hand, and looked at it carefully.

Liu Tieyi used his fingers to outline the shape of the cursed seal on the photo, and said to me: "You can understand the cursed seal as a special texture that induces some supernatural powers and allows these powers to pass through.

It can be released in different ways, just like the thief we met before, which is to stimulate the power in its body in a short period of time through the form of a curse seal."

"The same is true for this corpse. A certain amount of energy is injected into his body through the curse seal, which causes the water in his body to evaporate quickly. The place where the curse seal is located is also where the energy gathers.

It is more obvious than other places. If the human body is in a normal state, it is basically impossible to clearly distinguish it. However, since the whole process happens during the evaporation of water from the body, it is different from the pores I mentioned before.

The symptoms are somewhat similar, so the degree of dryness of the skin in these places is different from that in other places.”

Listening to what Liu Tieyi said, I suddenly thought of a very important question: "Brother Liu, is there any connection between this person and the thief we met before?"

In my opinion, the curse seal should not be used by everyone. If these two incidents are caused by the same person or the same organization, then we are likely to encounter them again in the future. This is important for

It is definitely not good news for us. The current incident is completely different from the previous thief incident. This can almost be characterized as intentional homicide. I don’t know what they will do next.

What kind of methods will they use against us?

"It's still unclear what the connection between this incident and the previous incident with the thief is, but what is certain is that the two incidents should be facing the same opponent."

"Who is he?" Qian Shan was silent for a long time, but he opened his mouth and asked the question I wanted to ask the most. It was also the question that Liu Tieyi seemed to avoid me intentionally or unintentionally before.

Liu Tieyi didn't feel embarrassed or surprised about Qian Shan's question, and slowly said to us: "To be honest, we are just guessing and there is no substantive evidence, so I can't tell you this yet, but I'm coming to see you today."

You just hope that we can find out the truth of the matter together."

The shock on Qian Shan's face at this time had been replaced by an expression of great expectation. He looked at Liu Tieyi and said, "You mean you want me and Lao Qi to investigate this matter?"

Liu Tieyi nodded: "Director Shen did have this idea, so he asked me to send the appointment letter to you two. How about you give me a happy word?"

A touch of ecstasy appeared on Qian Shan's face: "Come on, let alone this appointment letter. Even if there is not, my brother will never be vague."

Liu Tieyi's eyes turned to me again. I also suppressed my inner excitement and nodded to Liu Tieyi: "Brother Liu, when are we setting off!"

Liu Tieyi looked at Qian Shan and me with relief: "Originally, this appointment letter was intended to be given to you two after you were discharged from the hospital, but unfortunately, such a case happened to come up, and the branch transferred the case to us.

The Xuanshi team is here, so I asked you two about your attitude in advance. I also asked the doctor, and he said that there is no serious problem on your side and you can be discharged from the hospital the day after tomorrow. I will make some preparations first.

We will go to Fushun after you are discharged from the hospital, what do you two think?"

Without waiting for my answer, Qian Shan rushed to the side and said: "No, brother Liu, no more the day after tomorrow. I think it's better to choose a different day. Let's take today. His body has already recovered. These two days are just for

Just look at the pretty little nurse so you can’t wait to leave! Come on, seven yuan, don’t languish on the bed, get down to the ground and take a few steps for Brother Liu!”

Hearing Qian Shan's words, I almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, and immediately retorted: "Damn, you three fat guys, you obviously have a crush on this little nurse, and you stay with me all day long. You promised to take care of me three meals a day."

, how come I see that the food you give that little nurse is better than mine?"

Qian Shan didn't defend himself and smiled: "Isn't this just to let others take better care of you? Let's get out of the hospital quickly and let's get going!"

I raised my head and looked at Liu Tieyi: "Just the two of us?"

Although my excitement at this time was comparable to that of Qian Shan, Qian Shan and I had not even settled a civil dispute, let alone a murder case, and there was an indescribable feeling about this case.

It's weird. If we really wanted to investigate this, I really didn't know how to get started.

Liu Tieyi on the side looked at the two of us with a smile and said to me: "Don't worry, I will go with you. Firstly, the main reason is that there are currently not enough manpower here, and secondly, it is not appropriate for too many people to know our identities. That’s why Director Shen thought of asking you two to help!”

Hearing Liu Tieyi's words, I felt much more at ease. Just when I was about to tell Qian Shan to help me go through the discharge procedures, the door of the ward was pushed open again.
Chapter completed!
