"It's probably a normal natural behavior," Qi Yi said uncertainly: "The cross-sections of the fingers are uneven, and the tissue shape is consistent with the characteristics of being pecked off by a bird's beak. Crows are omnivores, and many of them like to eat carrion.

Our Shanjiang City has many mountains and forests, so it’s normal for monkeys to die and be eaten by crows.”

As he talked, he walked to the operating table, made tissue sections of the severed finger, observed it under a microscope, and quickly came to the conclusion: "The section showed no signs of life, and it was not until many days after death that it was pecked and swallowed, which is consistent with the situation."

Crow habits.”

Lao Chi made a wild guess: "So these crows are actually wild? I thought someone bred them specially to do mischief."

"It's hard to say." Qi Yi shook his head: "I still prefer artificial breeding and long-term training of some kind, but the breeding environment may be harsh, otherwise it would be difficult to explain the strange things that happened tonight."

"That's right." Lao Chi nodded in agreement, and added naturally: "As for the monkeys, they can be killed by humans and thrown into the bird pen for feeding."

Qi Yi glanced at Lao Chi with disdain: "That doesn't exist. All monkeys are protected animals, and the lowest level is Level 2. The risk of killing monkeys to feed crows is too high. There are many safer, cheaper and more convenient options for feeding crows. There is no reason to use them."

monkey."

Lao Chi was criticized every day, but this time he was a little dissatisfied. He frowned and said, "What if this monkey offended someone and was beaten to death? How about feeding it to crows?"

This possibility does exist, and some monkeys are indeed particularly disgusting, so Qi Yi nodded in approval.

Lao Chi felt relieved and rubbed his nose: "So, Lao Qi, you really need to listen to me more..."

However, Qi Yi ignored him at all and continued to dissect with his head down. Lao Chi muttered a few words and found it boring as usual. He silently watched Qi Yi's dissection, feeling drowsy.

After staying up like this for about ten minutes, he couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Forget it, I won't bother you. I'll go back and watch the surveillance twice more to see if I can find out where the knock on the door came from."

"Wait a minute." Qi Yi called to him and handed over two test tubes: "The crow's blood and the contents of the gizzard, please help me send it to the laboratory along the way."

Lao Chi groaned, took the test tube, thought for a while and asked: "Are you sure you really heard the knock on the door?"

Qi Yi was actually not sure. He had stayed up for too long, and his body and mind were severely exhausted. It was normal for him to have auditory hallucinations such as knocking on doors and windows.

Seeing his reaction, Lao Chi knew what he was doing. He nodded and turned around: "I will check a few more times and let you know the results. You can rest quickly."

"Yeah." Qi Yi responded in a muffled voice, and continued to immerse himself in the dissection, conducting a detailed pathological examination of the bird carcass, but the result was still fruitless.

Therefore, he guessed that the crow might have died of poisoning. This would only be clear after the toxicology test results came out. So he hastily sewed up the bird carcass, placed it on the belly of the deceased, raised the trolley platform, pushed the body up, and sent it to the cold room next door.

It was kept frozen in the corpse cabinet.

After doing this, he was finally ready to rest. It was less than two o'clock, so he could still sleep for six hours if nothing else happened, and he could barely regain some strength.

The forensic doctor has his own duty lounge, which is located on the basement floor.

Qi Yi was walking in the long and narrow corridor. The quality of the lighting hanging on the ceiling of the corridor was not very good, the brightness was not high, and the screen flickered severely. It made his eyes ache and made his head dizzy.

Tap tap tap...

Walking forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow, Qi Yi suddenly felt something was wrong. He always walked very lightly, why were his footsteps so loud?

Looking back, his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, and the empty corridor looked a bit hazy. He blinked hard before his eyes became clear again.

Looking down at his shoes again, Qi Yi shook his head. He felt that he had become too sensitive due to fatigue, so he kept walking forward with his head buried in the sound of footsteps.

When I opened the lounge door, a faint musty smell hit my face. There was nothing we could do about it. Shanjiang City itself was humid, and the ventilation conditions in the basement were poor, so the musty smell was difficult to eradicate.

Waving his hand subconsciously, Qi Yi walked into the lounge, closed the door, took off his shirt and got into bed after hastily washing up.

Before going to bed, he remembered what Lao Chi said about him being unable to get through on the phone. He took out his cell phone and took a look, only to find that it was really out of battery.

Without thinking much, he fumbled to find the charger and plugged it in. He threw the phone aside, finally closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep while the world was spinning.

He seemed to see Gaohuicheng again. It was exactly the same as the dream he had in the car in the evening. The old man in Gaohuicheng was like a huge human doll, floating in the air and looking at Qi Yi with a complex expression, floating further and further away.

But dreams are always weird. The old man was floating and came back again. All his clothes disappeared without a trace, and he landed in front of Qi Yi. His face was black and green, his facial features were ferocious, and his torso was densely covered with centipedes.

of sutures.

Just like his corpse.

He stared straight at Qi Yi, and Qi Yi stared at him intently, like two lunatics looking at each other.

After staring for an unknown amount of time, Qi Yi's occupational disease suddenly broke out. He took out a scalpel from nowhere and cut open Gao Huicheng's chest and abdomen with a wave of his hand. This seemed to completely anger him, and he raised his hand to strangle Qi Yi's neck.

.

Qi Yi actually felt like he was suffocating, his face turned red from suppressing it, and he immediately woke up from his dream. He straightened his upper body, sat upright, wiped his neck, grabbed the collar and pulled down hard twice.

"Hey, I was so confused that I actually put on my autumn clothes inside out." Qi Yi felt speechless to himself.

The next moment, he suddenly got goosebumps all over his body, and a cold air came from the soles of his feet and surged up his spine, forcing fine white sweat all over his back, and his scalp was numb from the cold.

He took off his shirt before going to bed and hung it on the coat rack.

He turned his head inch by inch and looked at the coat rack. The black T-shirt he had taken off was still hanging there.

…

In the monitoring room, Lao Chi kept rubbing his eyes and yawning.

He didn't go to bed until four o'clock last night. He only slept for three hours before Qi Yi pulled him up. Even coffee couldn't suppress his sleepiness.

After watching the video twice more, Lao Chi couldn't help but say: "Speaking of Lao Qi, are you afraid that you are sleepwalking? There is obviously nothing. No one has entered your lounge."

Qi Yi pursed his lips into a straight line, wondering secretly.

Indeed, everything on the surveillance screen was normal, there was nothing, no one entered his lounge at all. Could he really be sleepwalking?

It can't be a ghost, right? Which ancestor in the family was afraid that he would catch a cold and came here to dress him?

Qi Yi was wondering when the door of the monitoring room was suddenly pushed open and a middle-aged man walked in. He completely ignored Lao Chi and fixed his eyes on Qi Yi: "Hey, Xiao Qi, you are here as expected. I heard that something happened to you.

?Are you okay? Why are you so careless? You can even lose the body."

Looking at him, Qi Yi's original aura of keeping strangers away from him became even stronger.

Lao Chi immediately stood up and greeted with a smile: "Director Shi, why are you here? It's so early."

"Come and see Xiao Qi." Shi Huairen said with a smile: "I heard that something happened in our forensic room and a body was lost. I have to come and take a look at such a big mistake."
