Abyss of ignorance

Chapter 40
A rescue turns into a murder.

The muddy loess was trampled back and forth by the footprints of different people, taking pictures and discussing, everyone was tired and looked heavy.

Only the birds and beasts in the mountains are going through a new day as usual. For them, death is something they see every day, and it is not uncommon for them to see death.

Anyone who has transported corpses knows that corpses are difficult to carry.

A body that has lost its life will not automatically cooperate with the person who lifts it up like it did when it was alive, and leverage each other.

Especially now it is Qian Yingjie, who is covered in mud, soaked in rain, and is already obese.

Several people tossed and tossed for a long time, but there was no way to carry him onto the stretcher.

Ye Mimi took the initiative to step forward, following the direction of the corpse's limbs, and tied them up, leaving a few buckles that could be used firmly.The person who carried it pulled the buckle and worked hard together, and finally it was done.

Except for Qian Yingjie, Lin Xiaodong didn't dare to take his attention away from Ye Mimi for too long.

He didn't believe that Ye Mimi's participation in the rescue was really out of public welfare.

However, so far, he hasn't figured out what the purpose of Ye Mimi's involvement is.

"How come you are so proficient at lifting a dead body?" Lin Xiaodong was really full of curiosity about this woman, or Ye Mimi always showed him a lot of incomprehensible behaviors.

Ye Mimi picked off a fluffy leaf on the side, wiped the yellow mud on his hands, and said casually: "My father is the only priest in the village. When someone dies, he has to take care of the funeral. Dad is old, and I have to help him with many things, and carrying the body is an essential part. Our custom is that after the person is gone, the relatives can no longer touch the body."

"Huh? What strange custom?"

Ye Mimi raised his eyes and looked at Lin Xiaodong: "Because the touch of relatives will make the soul that should have left to linger. Our place believes that there is a time limit for a person's death. If you can't leave within that time, you can only become a human being." The lonely souls of the wild ghosts, my father's task is to save the undead and ensure that they can leave without any worries."

Ye Mimi spoke seriously, but Lin Xiaodong's hairs stood on end when she said it, especially in this Yamato mountain, there is the only cemetery in Linzhou just across the mountain, standing in the mountains at this moment feels like a gust of wind.

"So, you are not only a scientist, but also a priestess?" Lin Xiaodong said half-jokingly, trying to dispel his horrifying discomfort.

"I'm just a little girl helping Dad." Ye Mimi said, following the evacuated troops, they walked around a long way to a high place.

However, Lin Xiaodong still wanted to continue this conversation. It was rare for Ye Mimi to take the initiative to talk about her family background. To him, who Ye Mimi was and why she came to Zhou had always been suspicious and a mystery.

He asked: "How did you get out of West Sichuan? 22-year-old doctor, you must have skipped a grade, right?"

Ye Mimi looked at him, with a look of seeing through his intentions, but he did not evade the question, and even answered very carefully: "There are not many people going to school there, and one grade cannot make up one class. Several grades go to school together. , I was a fast learner, so naturally I graduated early, I tried to get into Linzhou University at that time, and I got in unexpectedly.”

"I remember you said last time that there is only one father in your family. If you work in Linzhou, isn't he the only one left in your hometown?"

"The year I took the college entrance examination, my father passed away. To be precise, I waited until my father left before deciding to take the college entrance examination. I only have one father, and he only has one daughter. I will not leave him and go to From Linzhou." Ye Mimi said calmly.

On the contrary, Lin Xiaodong felt a little guilty. In order to inquire about Ye Mimi's life experience, he accidentally touched such a heavy topic.

Ye Mimi noticed Lin Xiaodong's subtle emotional changes, and continued: "Don't worry, Dad can go away without any worries. He has saved so many people in his life. In Alan, no one believes in the existence of souls more firmly than him. At the end of his life At that time, I held his hand tightly and refused to let go. It was he who used his last strength to put my hand away. He said that if I couldn’t let go, he couldn’t leave. He said he had been waiting for this day , to heaven."

Lin Xiaodong listened with a frown, and said truthfully: "I can't understand this. It's too cruel for the dead or the living to not let their relatives touch them when they leave."

"Do you want to hear the truth? I don't understand." Unexpectedly, Ye Mimi agreed with Lin Xiaodong's statement, "Because you and I still have unfulfilled missions in this world, and we cannot escape."

"For example, Qian Yingjie, how could he wish to die alone in the mountains?" Lin Xiaodong pointed to the heavy stretcher being carried in front.

"He, maybe he never thought of dying." After Ye Mimi finished speaking, she left two or three steps ahead of Lin Xiaodong. In this rugged mountainous area, her thin back was still vigorous, as if she never knew what fatigue was. .

……

It was another sleepless night, and Lin Xiaodong stayed in the office of the Linzhou Public Security Bureau dragging his exhausted body.

Most of the lights in the building have been turned off, only the lamp on his desk is still on at the moment.

He rubbed his chin and looked at the forensic report in his hand. After two days, his stubble had grown again, and even he felt it hurt.

Ye Mimi's estimate was correct. On a rainy night, Qian Yingjie was still alive, and he was in the Anle Cemetery across the hill. Although he knew about the heavy rain, even if they knew that he was alive, it would be difficult to search and rescue him. I was able to save his life, but I was still troubled by regret and guilt, and couldn't let go.

The meeting with Jiang Xu was earlier than he expected. At dawn, he had already appeared at the gate of the Linzhou Public Security Bureau. Still high-profile, he parked the car at the gate of the Public Security Bureau.

It is conceivable that the gossip about Mr. Jiang N's entry into the palace will soon spread all over the streets and alleys, and it will be hotly searched in the same city.

Lin Xiaodong now knows that Jiang Xu's "positive" coming uninvited is not a good thing.

However, it wasn't as everyone else thought, it was Jiang Xu who went crazy and pleaded guilty.

Rather, he knew that Jiang Xu's actions meant that he was absolutely sure that he would not be caught.

The weather was much warmer than when he came last time, but he still didn't change his thick coat, and he didn't know how afraid this person was of the cold.

For Lin Xiaodong, Jiang Xu was a "worry-free" suspect. He was very cooperative in his actions, and he sat in the interrogation room with ease, without having to talk nonsense to him.

But he is the most difficult suspect to deal with. From him, the possibility of obtaining valuable information is almost zero.

Lin Xiaodong sat across from Jiang Xu, looked at his seemingly refined but surly face, and said, "Let's start."
