Chapter 93: Formalin Behind the Wall

Zhou Ze was afraid of trouble. He was really afraid of trouble. However, this did not mean that if something really pointed at him, he would foolishly cover his eyes with the two leaves and pretend not to see anything.

Xu Qinglang was stunned when he saw Zhou Ze’s serious expression after he said those words. He subconsciously asked,

“What’s the matter?”

Zhou Ze shook his head. “Nothing.”

“Then I’ll go up first?”

“Mm.”

Xu Qinglang went up. He turned back three times with every step. Instinctively, he felt that something was up, but since Zhou Ze was unwilling to share it with him, he did not force it. Everyone had their own little secrets and their own plans.

“Are you serious?”

Tang Shi looked at Zhou Ze with a faint smile.

Zhou Ze was also looking at Tang Shi. He shook the cigarette ash in his hand and said,

“Why are you investigating me?”

“Like I said, it’s because I’m curious.” Tang Shi walked to the bar and closed the distance between her and Zhou Ze. At the same time, her fingertips slid across the bar. “You know, you’re different from us. You’re really different.”

“You’ve said this before because I’ve never really experienced hell, and all of you have been tortured.”

“No, this matter is not that simple. The one and I were lucky enough to escape after experiencing the horror of hell. As for you, you were able to escape just by walking on the road to hell.

Do you know?

One thing, one experience.

It was enough to completely change a person.

For example, whenever I talked to that person about ‘hell’, my heart would subconsciously tremble because the word ‘hell’ and everything about it were branded in our hearts.

Even if we all came back to life, our personality and behavior had been greatly changed.

“You’re different. You came back after a trip to hell.”

So, you can sit at the table with the officer and talk about hell and the spring breeze. ”

“So, what do you mean? What else did you find out?”

The truck driver who had killed himself was dead.

Xu Le’s cousin, who had helped Xu Le buy and kill him, was also dead.

The two of them died together in a short period of time.

Ordinary people might not associate the deaths of these two people, but to Zhou Ze, this was very unusual.

Xu Le had died and given his body to him.

The driver was dead.

His cousin was also dead.

Those who had participated in this matter were all dead.

Was there really such a coincidence?

“We belong to the anomalies of this world. We are even different from ghosts. We are stowaways, while you are an anomaly among the anomalies.

We are different. ”

“Get to the point.” Zhou Ze knocked on the blackboard.

“Have you never suspected that your death and rebirth were not an accident?”

Tang Shi lowered her voice and slowly asked.

“Think about it carefully. Are there any details that you have overlooked?”

…

“They came after me, they found me…”

The old man’s nails dug into his arm, and the old man’s final smile of relief.

At the traffic light, his car had just driven out.

A large truck drove out the red lights.

It charged straight at him.

The flames of the crematorium and the scorching temperature;

The numbness and sadness of the Yellow Springs Road.

The Faceless Woman’s roar and indignation,

The black fingernails on his fingertips.

Dazed, she swayed by the roadside.

A man in a sweater ran out of the bookstore.

He smashed Xu Le to death with a baseball bat.

Then he entered Xu Le’s body.

…

Zhou Ze slowly raised his head and opened his eyes.

The person who killed Xu Le.

What happened to him after he called the police?

Zhou Ze had neglected this matter.

He had been going back and forth between the bookstore and Doctor Lin’s matters. He understood Xu Le’s death and his own ‘taking over’ more as a form of karma.

In another sense, the heavens had eyes.

However, since the old man had been sent to the hospital to receive emergency treatment, he had purposely dug his nails into his arm.

The truck driver who had driven into the red light to kill himself had done it on purpose.

So many people did it on purpose.

Then,

The man who had explained to himself that he had been too hot-headed and had wanted to steal some money to kill Xu Le with a baseball bat.

Did he

Could it be intentional?

If he did it on purpose,

This meant that he would die in his own life.

This line,

They were all thought to have been designed. He was like a toy race car in a toy race track. He looked like he was moving at lightning speed, but he was actually just following the established track.

“Looks like you’ve thought of something.”

Tang Shi fed herself a piece of white rabbit candy.

Zhou Ze picked up his phone. He was prepared to call the police station. The last time he had reported the case, he had even gone to the police station to make a statement. The first time he met Doctor Lin was also at the police station.

The policewoman led Doctor Lin to her and said, “Your wife is here to take you away.”

Zhou Ze was still in a daze for a while.

However, before making the call, Zhou Ze looked at Tang Shi and asked,

“How did you find out?”

“Do you know? Compared to us,

It was like being in a wolf’s den.

There’s a cute husky mixed in. ”

…

The rain was still pouring, and there was no sign of stopping. Tongcheng was located in the Yangtze River Delta, so it was naturally full of rain during this season.

There were no earthquakes or tsunamis here. The only thing that could cause some effects was floods.

Wearing a raincoat, Zhou Ze walked down the old apartment building. The trash bin was soaked in rain, and some trash had already floated out.

Tang Shi was wearing rain boots and a black raincoat. Her legs were faintly discernible in the rain, but Zhou Ze was not in the mood to enjoy the scenery.

Previously, he had called to check on the situation. The person he had sent to the police station had only been detained for half a month, and the crime was merely a violation of the law of security. After all, even though he had gone to Zhou Ze’s store to ‘commit murder’, in the end, he had been knocked down by Zhou Ze. It would be difficult for him to commit any major crime.

Moreover, Zhou Ze could not possibly say:

Police uncle,

He was a murderer.

He killed me.

And I am not me.

I am borrowing a corpse to restore my soul!!!

If so,

He reckoned that when the time came, he would not enter.

Instead, he would be forced to go to a mental hospital.

However, Zhou Ze still found the person’s address from there. It was in this area.

“This is it.”

On the second floor, Zhou Ze stopped in front of a door.

Most of the people living here were migrant workers who had rented the place to work in Tong City. The facilities were poor, and they used public toilets.

“Are you sure?” Tang Shi asked.

“The door number should be correct.”

Zhou Ze tried to look at the window, but it was blocked by the gauze and the old curtains, so he could not see inside from the outside.

“I’ll go find something to pry open the door…”

Crack…

The door lock opened automatically.

Tang Shi gestured to Zhou Ze.

Zhou Ze was stunned.

He smiled.

He walked in.

She thought to herself, It’s such a pity that I won’t be a thief with you.

The room was actually just one set.

A room.

There was a small stove with an induction cooker.

The room was still tidy, but some places were already covered in dust. Obviously, it had been a long time since someone had stayed there.

“How long has he been released?”

“Several months. The day after my rebirth, I sent him to the police station, and half a month later, he was released.”

Zhou Ze looked around, checking the details.

“Has he moved?” Tang Shi asked.

Zhou Ze shook his head. “I’m not sure.”

The guy who beat Xu Le to death with a baseball bat.

Missing?

Zhou Ze suddenly noticed that there was an area on the wall behind the bed that was slightly different. He stepped onto the bed and reached out to touch the area on the wall before saying,

“This wall looks like it was painted later.”

“Is there something hidden inside?” Tang Shi asked.

Zhou Ze pressed his ear close to the wall and knocked on it. “It doesn’t look hollow.”

Actually, it was very common for the walls of such houses to be hollow. Usually, when the renovation of a new apartment was being done, the renovation team would first send an old master to knock on the walls and floor with a ruler. If they found any problems, they would ask the developer to renovate it before renovating it.

“Just open it,” Tang Shi said.

Zhou Ze nodded and was about to say that he was going to find some tools when he glanced at Tang Shi and took a few steps back.

Tang Shi turned to look at the cleaver next to the induction cooker. Then, the objects flew out and kept hitting the wall.

The thought of starting a construction company surfaced in Zhou Ze’s mind again.

Bai Yingying alone could match the labor of a construction team.

Tang Shi could match a batch of engineering equipment.

He just needed to sit there and count the money.

However, as the wall continued to crack, Zhou Ze immediately discarded the messy thoughts in his mind.

Bang!

A piece of wall broke and fell.

A human face was revealed.

The human face was still frozen with fear, like it was perfectly maintaining the emotion before death.

It was that person.

It was the person who had knocked Xu Le to death with a baseball bat!

In the air,

There was a sour smell.

Zhou Ze reached out and checked the corpse inside. He frowned and said,

“The body died less than a week ago.”

“You don’t seem to be a forensic doctor,” Tang Shi reminded.

“This is common knowledge among surgeons. Based on the time of death, we can roughly determine the time of death,” Zhou Ze explained.

“Then I can tell you that the wall I knocked on earlier was definitely not sealed for less than a week. It must have been at least three months.”

Tang Shi peeled a piece of candy and placed it in her mouth.

“Unless you think he was killed a week ago and moved into the wall that was sealed three months ago.

Zhou Ze immediately realized that something was wrong.

Obviously, the body could not have been teleported into the wall, and the wall was perfectly preserved before Tang Shi cut it open.

She sniffed.

That sour smell.

Previously, he thought it was the smell of a corpse.

At this moment…

Zhou Ze suddenly realized something and pulled the corpse’s hair away.

Sure enough,

He found a small hole. It was the injection hole.

“Yes, the body had been dead for a long time, but he had been injected with formalin, so the body was preserved so well.

In addition,

Formalin had probably been slowly injected into him when he was alive.

“Because if the blood circulation spreads throughout the body, the effect will be better.”
