Mysterious Jade Pillar 77

  No matter whether Du Si Lin and the other two were members of some special task force or not, after this incident, He Yang's strong intuition told him that these two could help him crack this mysterious and bizarre serial murder case, so he wouldn't let them leave to retrieve any files.

  "We want to go take a look at another body." After teasing He Yang for a bit, Du Sulin felt it was pointless and didn't say any more unnecessary words, directly getting to the point.

  He Yang hastily agreed and ordered his subordinates to clean up the remaining scene here, then led Du Silin and Dong Shuanghe to the morgue.

  "Will that one... come back to life?" He Yang asked again on the road. He originally wanted to say "that corpse just now", but thinking about it, he felt it wasn't quite safe, so he paused for a moment and skipped over it.

  "Will do." Du Sulin replied calmly, she just stamped a seal on the corpse, it wasn't like she directly killed someone to silence them. She stopped in her tracks and glanced at He Yang who had frozen in place after hearing her response, then added: "If you don't wipe his brow, nothing will happen, theoretically."

  He Yang heard this and let out a gentle sigh of relief, then hurriedly called his subordinate to remind him once again not to touch the corpse's eyebrow center.

  Dong Shuanghe, who had been silent all along, thought Du Siling was a bit strange to bully someone unrelated, and if it were in the past, she would not have spoken so loudly, obviously teasing He Yang.

  "How old are you?" As they walked, Du Sulin suddenly threw out this question that was neither here nor there, without any of the extreme tension and caution that He Yang had.

  "Twenty-five, what's wrong?" He Yang was also surprised by Du Si Lin's sudden question. His first thought was that the murderer had age requirements when killing people? But immediately ruled out this possibility, because among the current victims, almost all age groups were occupied.

  Du Sulin nodded thoughtfully and didn't immediately respond to He Yang's question. When he realized He Yang was looking at him inquiringly, he said lightly, "Growing up too quickly."

  He Yang, who was still walking quickly, almost stumbled upon hearing this. How did he suddenly become anxious? No one had ever described him that way from childhood to adulthood.

  At the age of twenty-five, he has already become the head of the major crimes unit. He Yang doesn't seem to be just relying on his family background, but also has real talent and skills. From his performance earlier, it seems that he still has some abilities. Du Si Lin thought to herself.

  Dong Shuanghe's doubts deepened. If she hadn't known about Xiao Qingzhu, she would have suspected that Du Siling had taken a liking to He Yang.

  The morgue is an extremely cold place, so as to preserve the integrity of the corpse to the greatest extent.

  Things in the house were all messed up due to the sudden situation just now, and even another corpse was thrown to the ground.

  "I'll go call two people to move the body onto the autopsy table," He Yang said, his brow furrowed in concern, unsure why he felt a chill run down his spine as soon as he entered the morgue.

  Du Sulin waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to go, and then said: "No need to be so troublesome, the deceased is a slender woman, I suppose she won't be too heavy, you can just go."

  He Yang stared blankly at Du Si Lin, did he ask him to move a corpse?

  "Just hold her arm, it's fine, doesn't take much effort." Du Sulin looked at He Yang very seriously, seemingly not noticing He Yang's surprised expression, and even patted him on the shoulder twice to encourage him.

  "Oh..." He Yang finally responded with a murmur and went to lift up the female corpse as Du Si Lin had said.

  Just as He Yang had his back to Du Siling, Dong Shuanghe noticed that the corners of Du Siling's mouth were slightly raised. This made her even more puzzled, because according to reason, Du Siling should not have known He Yang at all, but Du Siling's attitude towards He Yang was indeed different from his attitude towards others.

  Du Sulin noticed Dong Shuanghe's gaze, but only smiled mysteriously, with an air of secrecy that couldn't be revealed.

  As written in the autopsy report, the deceased died of excessive bleeding, and there was only one wound on his entire body, which was on his neck. As soon as he saw the wound, Du Sulin's expression turned serious.

  It was indeed bitten by a zombie. The forensic doctor couldn't see it, but Du Shilin saw it clearly, and there was a black mist spreading around the wound.

  "Can you get your forensic expert here?" Du Sulin turned around and said to He Yang, "I want him to re-examine the deceased again."

  "It's okay." He Yang nodded and took out his phone. After saying a few words to the person on the other end, he hung up and said, "He'll be here soon."

  Du Sulin found it strange that the female corpse did not show any signs of resurrection, especially after He Yang lifted her up. He Yang was a man with vigorous blood and energy, and before he touched her shoulder, she had cast a spell on her hand to fully mobilize the yang energy in his body. According to reason, when the corpse came into contact with the appropriate yang energy, it should have resurrected, but in reality, nothing happened.

  This made her very suspicious, so she had He Yang call the forensic doctor to re-examine the body and see if there was anything they had overlooked.

  Soon, the forensic doctor who was going to autopsy the female corpse arrived. He was an old man in his sixties and was very dissatisfied with Du Siling's request for a re-autopsy. In his opinion, this was a doubt about his autopsying skills. Therefore, since he came, except when talking to He Yang, his expression was slightly softer, but he had no good attitude towards Du Siling and Dong Shuanghe.

  "The deceased is Li Ting, female, thirty-four years old......" Although he was dissatisfied in his heart, he re-examined the body and the conclusion drawn was still exactly the same as what was written on the autopsy report.

  "Have you dissected the body?" Du Sulin frowned, on the surface, nothing could be found. The old forensic doctor examined the body very carefully and didn't miss anything. But this situation doesn't match the theory, there must be something they missed.

  The old forensic doctor snorted twice: "Autopsy requires the consent of the family members, and Li Ting's family does not agree to our autopsy on Li Ting's body."

  Du Sulin thought for a moment, and his dark eyes scanned the corpse back and forth, trying to find something, but ultimately failed.

  "Taiguang, come and see!" It was Dong Shuanghe, who had been silent all along, as if he had discovered something.

  Dong Shuanghe pointed to a spot on the deceased's body, which was a black dot near the root of the inner thigh.

  "It's just a mole, what's the big deal!" The old forensic doctor sneered at Dong Shuanghe's discovery. He was quite confident in his autopsy skills and didn't believe that these two young girls, who looked like they were only in their early twenties, could find new problems with the corpse he had already examined.

  Following the direction of Dong Shuanghe's finger, Du Siling also found a strange place.

  "This isn't a mole," said Dong Shuanghe, who had over 40 years of experience in autopsy, but if it were to be compared with the old forensic doctor's understanding of corpses, she might even surpass him. She was an undertaker herself and sometimes spent almost 24 hours continuously with corpses. "Take a closer look at its color and you'll know, if you still don't believe me, then cut it open with a scalpel to take a look, I think that can't be counted as part of the autopsy."

  The old forensic doctor walked over and examined it carefully. It was better not to look, but after taking a closer look, he found that Dong Shuanghe's words were not nonsense. This black mark was somewhat translucent and did not have the density of ordinary moles due to melanin deposition, but rather looked like something black had grown inside the skin.

  After cutting open a small incision in the skin, it was indeed found that there was a black columnar thing in the muscle tissue, which looked like jade, with dense and intricate characters carved on it that were incomprehensible.

  He Yang held the evidence bag and watched it repeatedly, muttering: "What is this thing after all?"

  "This is..." Du Sulin's eyes shone with a thoughtful light, which others couldn't understand, but she saw it clearly.

  "Can you check if there's something similar on another corpse?" Du Sulin turned around and asked He Yang.

  He Yang nodded and walked out of the morgue. First, to let people move the body here, secondly, to see how the scene was cleaned up.

  "Old master, do you know what this thing is?" Du Sulin asked the old doctor after pushing He Yang away. She remembered that when the old doctor took out this thing, his scalpel hesitated for a moment. Although it was a very small movement, it should not have appeared on an old doctor who had been operating for over 40 years. Unless he saw something that made his heart skip a beat, like this jade pillar.

  "Hmph, don't think that just because you found out my mistake in autopsy technique, you're better than me." Dong Shuanghe had found his own mistake in the autopsy, but the old forensic doctor's attitude didn't soften in the slightest. He let out a cold snort, turned around, and no longer faced Du Siling, instead staring at the corpse.

  It seems that for him, the allure of a corpse is greater than that of Du Shilin and Dong Shuanghe combined.

  Du Sulin felt helpless, this old forensic doctor obviously knew something but was unwilling to say.

  "Old gentleman," Dong Shuanghe said, "if you know something, please tell us. As for the autopsy skills, we don't think your autopsy skills are bad. The reason I was able to discover this subtle detail is because I am a hearse driver and have been with corpses for many years, so my sense of corpses is extremely sensitive."

  Upon hearing these words, the old forensic doctor's cold and hard expression softened slightly: "Are you a hearse driver?" he asked.

  Dong Shuanghe nodded, although she had washed her hands in a golden basin for many years.

  "Alright!" The old forensic doctor hesitated for a moment before gritting his teeth and agreeing.

  "Do you believe that there are ghosts or spirits in this world?" he asked the two before explaining to Yu Zhu.

  The two of them exchanged a glance and nodded.

  "I had seen this thing before, when I was just an eight-year-old kid. My father was a forensic doctor, so I can say that I grew up in the morgue of the public security bureau from a young age. Perhaps due to my father's influence, I have been interested in dissection since childhood, and my father also agreed to let me occasionally assist him. One day, a well-dressed man came to me and asked me to help him retrieve something from a deceased person." The old forensic doctor recalled this incident vividly, obviously leaving a deep impression on him that he could still clearly remember after all these years.

  "Is this the jade pillar?" Du Sulin interrupted, holding up the evidence bag in his hand.

  The old forensic doctor nodded: "As a reward, he gave me a set of popular game consoles at that time." At this point, the old forensic doctor felt a little embarrassed and red-faced. He paused for a moment before continuing: "At first, I didn't agree, but after all, I was still a child then, and the temptation of a set of game consoles was too great. Without thinking much, I agreed. Later, my father discovered that I suddenly had an extra set of game consoles, and after repeated questioning, he found out about this matter. He severely beat me for it, which was the first and only time he hit me, an unforgettable experience in my life."
