Long night dreams

Chapter 5 The Corpse in the Ceiling 2
Roger took a step forward and stood in front of the door.He clearly heard screams coming from the room one after another, Guo Haoran and Ye Mei were both screaming, the screams were full of fear and distress, and even a little bit of despair.

"What's wrong?" It was a young woman who spoke, the tourist named Lianzi.She was plain-faced, but she was still beautiful, but her eyes were full of sadness.She didn't seem to care about what was happening in front of her eyes, even if she asked such a sentence, there was no emotion in her tone.

"Something must have happened!" The bearded painter Li Shoulian was obviously a man of blood, he affirmed loudly.Then he stood outside the door with a vigorous step, raised his foot and kicked hard at the door.

Don't believe what is shown in the police and gangster TV movies, you just need to kick hard to open the door, that is the so-called artistic reprocessing.Although this possibility was not ruled out, at this moment Li Shoulian was hugging his feet, jumping up and down the corridor with one leg, breathing heavily, and sweat dripped from his forehead.He kicked the door so hard that he didn't open the door, but instead hurt his toe.

Roger asked everyone to stand behind him, and he grabbed the door handle of the house tightly, pulled it in the direction where he was, and then slammed it hard with his shoulder.Roger was a strong, muscular middle-aged man. His whole body weight fell on the solid wooden door. After a loud "bang", the door swung open.

In front of the bathroom door, Ye Mei hugged the pillow and screamed, she couldn't understand why such a petite body could make such a loud noise.The screams were filled with the fear of imminent death. The sound rushed out of the hotel through the cracks in the windows, cut through the dense raindrops, mixed with the sound of the wind, and turned into a scream like a siren, which stimulated everyone's excitement. eardrum.

Luo Jie rushed to Ye Mei's side at the fastest speed, supported her, and then turned to look into the bathroom.He saw Guo Haoran standing naked and shivering outside the bathtub, and also saw the thing in the bathtub falling from the ceiling.Roger only felt his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, thumping, and the heart almost jumped out of his throat.
-
It was a corpse belonging to a young woman, a naked female corpse! ——
Her body was covered with cyan bruises, and the greasy green corpse fluid spread all over her body, and in some places even condensed together, forming a suspected paste-like solid.
-
In her throat, there are two blood-red holes, as if they were bitten open by someone's teeth.
-
The skin under her green corpse was pale, as if there was not a drop of blood in her body.

After all, Roger is a policeman. After he calmed down, he walked to the bathtub calmly.He first pulled a bath towel from the hanger and handed it to Guo Haoran, telling him to quickly cover his private parts.

Roger fished the corpse out of the bathtub, then pressed the carotid artery of the corpse with his fingers, and confirmed that it was indeed a female corpse.He forced the corpse to turn over again, and glanced at the spots on the corpse's back.However, he not only saw the corpse spots, but also saw a strange pattern on the back of the corpse, which seemed to be tattooed on the body or branded on the body.

This pattern is very strange. The thin and crooked lines are distributed in nine directions on the back of the female corpse, like nine balls of fire, but the lines at the inner end of the flames extend infinitely inward, and finally intertwine together.At first glance, this pattern looks like nine flames, but upon closer inspection, it looks like nine people worshiping on the ground - I don't know what they are worshiping, but it can be seen that what they are in awe of is the intertwining of several lines place together.After the nine flames stretched far away, they all gathered in a straight line in the end, and a black line like an arrow ran through the nine flames.

At this time, the old lady Jin walked into the bathroom with weak legs, and she was stunned when she saw the female corpse.

After seeing the pattern on the back of the female corpse clearly, the old lady Jin sat down on the ground, breathing heavily, tears streaming from her eyes.

"Old lady, what's the matter with you?" Painter Li Shoulian asked with concern.

"It's Su Xin! This is Su Xin'ai - Su Xin, Su Xin, didn't you say you went to the south to work? Why did you die here? Su Xin, Su Xin, who is so vicious, how did you hurt you?" ?” Mrs. Jin sat on the ground and wept bitterly, hysterical.

Roger turned around and said to the old Mrs. Jin: "People cannot be resurrected after death, so let's mourn."
The people in the room didn't know how to comfort the sad old lady Jin, so they looked at each other in silence.The room fell into a deathly and hopeless silence, only the sound of wind and rain raging outside the window could be heard.

Outside the window, the rain is getting heavier.

The night is also darker.

Roger helped Mrs. Jin down the stairs.As a policeman, he knew that if Mrs. Jin stayed in the room where her daughter was found, she might have a heart attack and die immediately.Xia Qingqing also helped Ye Mei to leave, and the other people couldn't bear the fear in their hearts, they scattered and fled the room, leaving Guo Haoran trembling alone.

When Luo Jie went out, he didn't forget to turn around and tell Guo Haoran, don't touch the female corpse in the bathroom.This is the scene of a murder case, and maybe any piece of evidence may become the key to solving the case in the future.

Guo Haoran managed to regain his composure.He put on a bathrobe and sat on the edge of the bed and lit a cigarette, but he stared blankly at the deep night outside the window in a daze.He felt that he was really shameless. As a writer of suspense novels, he would scream in fright in front of so many people.

It wasn't until the cigarette burned to his finger that Guo Haoran threw away the cigarette butt in a jerk.

He glanced back at the wet female corpse lying flat in the bathroom, trembling involuntarily all over again, quickly put on his coat, hurriedly rushed out of the room and went downstairs.

In the living room downstairs, all the people sat around the dining table, but no one moved the food that was full.After seeing the bruised corpse just now, who still has the appetite to eat?
Guo Haoran's face was pale, he hadn't been freed from the huge shock just now.Guo Haoran grabbed Roger's sleeve and asked in a trembling voice, "Did you call the police? When will the police arrive?"
Luo Jie glanced at Guo Haoran, didn't say anything, just shook his head slightly.Wang Yang on one side said loudly: "It's really bad. The telephone line here is broken. It's windy and rainy outside. I don't know where it was broken. There is no signal on the mobile phone. This is a dilapidated abandoned village. Install signal relay towers here."
There was a sobbing sound from the room, it was Xia Qingqing and Ye Mei who couldn't help the fear in their hearts, they couldn't find a way to vent their pent-up anxiety, and they finally began to collapse.The old lady Jin cried out in tears, asking who killed her daughter.

It was the mysterious woman Lianzi who was full of sadness, standing calmly by the stair column, looking coldly at all the people in the dining room, without saying a word.But if a calmer person pays attention to her face at this time, he will definitely find that although she tried her best to hide it, her body is still trembling.From the corners of her eyes, two lines of undetectable tears slipped quietly.

Guo Haoran sat slumped on the back chair by the dining table, and asked feebly: "Then what should we do now?"
Li Shoulian, a bearded painter, said: "No way, we have no way to notify the police now. The rain outside is getting heavier and heavier. It is estimated that the chain bridge on the river has been flooded and there is no way to pass. We have to wait until dawn to think about it." Method."
At this moment, I suddenly heard a slight "cuckoo" sound from the dining room, and I don't know whose stomach rumbled with hunger.Although everyone has no appetite, after all, they haven't eaten all day, so it's not surprising to hear such a voice.

Roger waved his hand and said, "It's still a long night, everyone should eat something. Even if you can't eat, fill your stomach. I don't want to see someone starving because of hunger after seeing a dead body." And faint here."
After hearing this, everyone sat down at the dinner table, except for the heartbroken old lady Jin—she was still crying and her body was twitching non-stop.

Luo Jie asked Xia Qingqing, Ye Mei and Lian Zi to eat something first, and then accompanied Mrs. Jin to the management room to rest.He told them to talk to Mrs. Jin more often, so as not to let the old lady stagnate all her sorrows in her heart.Both Xia Qingqing and Ye Mei agreed to Luo Jie's request, but Lianzi said coldly: "I'm sleepy, I want to go back to my room to sleep." After she finished speaking, she went upstairs alone without eating dinner.

Seeing this, Li Shoulian, a bearded painter, hurriedly said, "I'll go up too." He followed Lianzi upstairs with a bulging canvas bag, and only a few other people were left downstairs, chewing on the tasteless food with their own concerns. meals.

When Li Shoulian went upstairs, the first thing he did was unzip the canvas bag and took out a valuable Leica camera.Li Shoulian is a painter. He was planning to go to Hecur Village to sketch and paint, but he didn't expect to go the wrong way and come to such a remote hotel.But he didn't regret it, because he was very lucky to encounter such a murder here. He felt that the trip to the cursed village was not in vain, and the Leica camera in the canvas bag finally had its due purpose.

Li Shoulian is also a photographer while painting.In terms of photography, he has no special interest in landscapes and figures, but has an unusual interest in various corpses.

When he was studying at the Academy of Fine Arts, he once had a vigorous love affair with a girl from the same department, and they lived together since freshman year.Unexpectedly, in her junior year, that girl passed away forever because of leukemia.In the morgue of the hospital, Li Shoulian said goodbye to the girl for the last time. He was smoking in the morgue alone. There has been a change.In an inexplicable impulse, he uncovered the white cloth covering the body, first took countless photos of the girl with a Leica camera, and then took off the girl's pants - in the morgue, he and the cold body The corpse had an intimate relationship.

After the girl was cremated, Li Shoulian picked up and collected the remaining crystallized shards from the girl's ashes, and he even wore some of the harder pieces into a necklace and put them on the most intimate place.Since that day, he has never been interested in any woman, except - all kinds of female corpses.He likes to take a few satisfactory photos of the corpse first, and then do whatever he wants with the corpse.And——regardless of male corpses and female corpses.

The old man who manages the anatomy building used by the Academy of Fine Arts to study human form often complains to the leaders of the academy that perverted students often sneak into the anatomy building on stormy nights to molest the corpses in the corpse pool.Of course, no one knew that it was Li Shoulian who did it.

After graduation, Li Shoulian became a professional painter. Although he earned a lot of money, he did not have the opportunity to have close contact with the corpse.In his subconscious mind, he often fantasizes about hijacking a beautiful young woman in the middle of a stormy night, dragging him into the studio and strangling him to death with his own hands, and then using his hands on the cold corpse to satisfy his high desire.

However, this only existed in his fantasy, and he couldn't muster up the courage to really do this kind of thing. He could only hope day and night that by chance, he would encounter a real corpse.

When he saw Su Xin's bruised corpse just now, Li Shoulian was so excited that he couldn't speak a word. He felt the erection of his lower body surging, and he had to bend down to conceal the changes in his body.

While eating downstairs, he couldn't concentrate at all.In his mind, it was all about the naked female corpse.So, when he saw Lianzi go upstairs, he quickly found an excuse to go upstairs - he just wanted to get in touch with that corpse quickly!

The corridor on the second floor was very quiet, Lian Zi had already returned to her room and closed the door.Li Shoulian was secretly happy, he thought, now is the best time.

He vaguely remembered where Su Xin's body was lying in the bathroom.As a good painter and photographer, he set the shutter, focal length and flash exposure time rate in the hallway.He had to race against time, and he had to finish what he wanted to do as quickly as he entered the house.

The door was not locked. When Guo Haoran went downstairs just now, his heart was still full of fear.His momentary carelessness saved Li Shoulian a lot of trouble.

Li Shoulian pushed open the door, held the camera in front of his eyes, and moved towards the bathroom step by step.The lights in the room are always on, and all the scenes in the room are displayed in Li Shoulian's sight through the camera's viewfinder lens—the Leica camera is really a good thing, everything that the lens is facing can be recorded completely and truly , without any deviation.

The door of the bathroom was also open, Li Shoulian felt very excited, he heard his heart beating thumping - he longed for everything he was about to see, he hadn't let go of his body's desire for too long.
-
Finally, he reached the bathroom door.
-
Finally, he saw everything in the bathroom.

Cold sweat trickled out from his forehead bit by bit.His eyes were full of astonishment.He opened his mouth wide, unable to believe what he saw.

There was nothing on the floor in the bathroom, Su Xin's naked body disappeared!
