At the same time..,
It was already late at night in Chicago,
In the Chicago Police Department morgue,
Chief Eli walked in with two young men dressed as police officers. As soon as they entered the morgue, they walked to the innermost position and finally stopped in front of the body cabinet marked '13X'.
"Although it's been a few days, the case has been unable to continue because other than this corpse, the other two corpses were killed by the pistols they carried. As for the fatal wound of this corpse … we haven't found any sharp weapon that matches it at the scene."
Old Eli introduced the details of the case while taking the initiative to open the three body cabinets marked '13X' and personally unzipped the body bag.
"Our police officers' preliminary speculation is that the real murderer is not at the scene. In addition, the body of this young man who died from a sharp weapon also has clear traces of being moved. According to the investigation … it seems that he was killed at the scene. After his body was taken away, it was placed back at the scene."
The two young men dressed as police officers did not speak. They just bypassed Old Eli and took the initiative to look at the three corpses. Finally, their eyes focused on the corpse with a terrible sword wound on its chest.
Then..,
"Mr. Eli, thank you very much for your assistance and cooperation. Next, according to the instructions from above, we need to bring these three corpses back for investigation. Do you … have anything else?"
After carefully looking at the three corpses, one of the men dressed as a police officer immediately turned to look at Mr. Eli who was still there. Although there was no hostility in his tone when he spoke, anyone could hear the politeness and alienation in it.
"Kevin, don't say that. It's so late and he's still willing to come and help us. Mr. Eli is a good person …" The other man dressed as a police officer noticed the displeasure on Mr. Eli's face and immediately reminded his companion beside him.
It was just that..
Even if the words were good, the timing was just right, and he seemed to be really grateful for Old Eli's help, but there was also an unconcealable contempt in his words. The tone of his reprimanding of his companion was just to the point, obviously there was no sincere apology from the bottom of his heart.
Seeing this..,
Old Eli knew the identity of the two of them and also knew that this case was not simple. Although he, who was in a high position, was looked down upon, he did not argue with these people who thought they were good.
Therefore, he took a deep breath of the cold air in the morgue and looked at the young man who said he was a good person.
"Mr. Francis … Right? Since you've seen the corpse, my duty ends here. I don't care what you guys are trying to do, but when you leave the police station with the corpse, remember not to be noticed by the other officers on duty."
"Otherwise, it would be difficult for me to explain your identities to the others, especially our Sheriff Joe …"
After saying that, the director turned around and walked towards the door of the morgue. He left this gloomy place without looking back. Obviously, he didn't want to stay in this place for a minute longer, not to mention there were two particularly annoying people at the bottom.
After Old Eli left,
"Heh … It's just a bureau chief, and a bureau chief in a place like Chicago. I really don't know what this guy is so proud of." Francis looked at the tightly shut door of the morgue. When he turned to look at Kevin, his eyes were filled with mockery towards Old Eli.
"Although he knows about the existence of people like us, he's still an ordinary person who knows little. It's inevitable that he thinks from the perspective of an ordinary person." Kevin didn't even look at Francis beside him. He just lowered his head and looked at the corpse lying in front of him.
"By the way, looking at the fatal wound on this corpse, I don't doubt the words of those guys above. This sword wound … is most likely caused by Miss Gabriel."
"Well, who still uses a sword these days? Besides, this wound is filled with a holy aura. Other than Miss Gabriel, I can't think of anyone else who can do this." Francis immediately nodded in agreement.
"But …" Kevin looked at the sword wound on the corpse again and slowly frowned thoughtfully.
"About the details of the case that Old Eli mentioned just now, especially the way Matthew and Hanson died, and the traces of this corpse being moved from the scene …"
"This corpse probably had other helpers at the time, but they chose to abandon their companions' corpses after he died …"
"But if that's the case, where did Miss Gabriel go? How could that person just sit back and watch Matthew and Hanson get killed? Could it be that that person left after killing this corpse, and the corpse's companions just happened to arrive at the scene and killed Matthew and Hanson who were planning to bring the corpse back?"
"Ah!" Francis's sudden cry interrupted Kevin's train of thought.
"What are you screaming for?!" Naturally, Kevin was also shocked. He turned to Francis and said, "Be careful. Although you have Old Eli's pass, if you attract too much attention, it's inevitable that …"
"Just … just now, his finger seemed to have moved." Francis seemed to have seen something terrifying, so much so that he completely ignored the reminder of his companions beside him and pointed at the corpse lying in front of him with a frightened face.
Hearing that,
Kevin immediately looked at the corpse lying in front of him. Not only did he reach out to feel the corpse's breath, he even placed his palm on the corpse's chest to check if there was still a heartbeat.
In the end …
"You've watched too many f * cking horror movies, haven't you?!" Other than the coldness on the corpse, Kevin didn't find anything unusual at all.
However,
He turned around and found that Francis wasn't looking at him at all. Instead, he was looking at something behind him with eyes full of horror. That comical look … Perhaps even if he had a heart attack suddenly, no one would be surprised at all.
"Kai-Kai-Kai … Kevin, you … behind you!"
Based on Kevin's trust in Francis, he immediately followed his gaze and looked back, only to find that the corpse lying on the corpse cabinet had unknowingly sat up and was looking at the two of them with a puzzled face.
At this moment, in the face of such a terrifying thing, the originally calm and wise man felt as if he was in a real ice cellar in an instant. From the beginning to the end, the only feeling he had was … shivering from the cold!
"You, you, you, you …"
Liu Xiaojiang looked at the two foreigners and the surrounding environment, and the doubts in his eyes disappeared almost instantly. Then, he got up from the corpse cabinet and walked down. The strange black gas gradually spread out from his body and quickly wrapped around the two foreigners.
"Yes, don't be suspicious. Don't be afraid. It's just as you think. I … am a zombie!"
