Scarlet Falls

Chapter 14 Death Specimens

"you?"

Looking at this enthusiastic little intern, Wei Wei was a little surprised.

I couldn't help but think of the three taboos Uncle Gun told me during dinner yesterday.

Isn't it bad to go against the instructions given by your seniors on your first day at work?

Seeing that Wei Wei seemed a little hesitant, Ye Feifei blinked in confusion and whispered: "Inconvenient?"

"No……"

Wei Wei thought for a moment, nodded with a smile, and said, "Okay."

Ye Feifei immediately became happy and rushed back to the room to get his coat. The pig boy who was holding the bowl next to him was stunned for a moment when he heard Wei Wei's promise. He wanted to say something but held it back and just silently said to her. Wei Wei showed a sympathetic expression.

After asking for the address, Wei Wei took Ye Feifei into the jeep, stepped on the accelerator and drove out.

On the way, I was debating whether to continue discussing the previous topic with her.

He is now in a delicate state of mind.

First, it comes from the bottom of my heart, and I don’t want to mention that old incident to others over and over again, and to uncover the scars over and over again.

But whenever I meet someone who might know about this matter, I can't help but want to ask carefully to avoid missing the clue.

Although he knew in his heart that the information he saw at the training camp was probably the most complete.

However, Wei Wei soon realized that he was thinking too much. The little intern had been chirping a lot at the dinner table just now, but after getting in the car, he seemed to be a different person, looking around with a guilty conscience, and... Put your hands together, worshiping something.

Wei Wei was a little curious: "What are you doing?"

After asking twice, Ye Feifei finally came to his senses and answered seriously: "Pray that there won't be a flat tire on the road."

"?"

Wei Wei didn't understand this logic.

Ye Feifei's face turned slightly red, he pressed his lower abdomen and said, "I haven't been feeling well for a few days recently."

"this……"

Wei Wei's logic became even more confusing, and he just silently slowed down the car.

And kindly reminded: "Drink more hot water."

Although I still don’t understand what it has to do with whether the car will have a flat tire in the past few days.

Ten minutes later, the tires of the jeep drove over a road that had been riddled with potholes and had not been repaired for an unknown number of years, splashing sewage all over the ground.

They came to the north of Scrap Iron City, where there are shabby and low-rise residential areas. The messy wires and dumped trash cans blocked the originally wide road into a narrow and crowded place. Various small carts sold human beings. The smell of fireworks.

Without asking in detail, Wei Wei and Ye Feifei determined where they were going.

Just next to this crowded and lively street, the entrance of a residential complex was crowded with people carrying plastic bags and craning their heads to watch the excitement.

Everyone was squeezing around, and some even climbed onto the wall.

At the gate of the community, there was a team of police officers maintaining order, holding sticks to push people off the wall.

Amid the commotion, women's cries and men's roars could be heard from time to time.

"You really have no quality..."

Looking at the various cars parked in a mess on the street, Wei Wei nodded, opened the door and got out of the car.

He and Ye Feifei squeezed into the crowd, thinking about how to explain their identities to the police officers maintaining security at the gate of the community.

Official members of the execution team will have a secret certificate stamped with the seal of the Security Hall.

The purpose is to facilitate access to some places with special security during the investigation, and to do things cheaply.

But now Wei Wei is still in the internship stage and does not have this certificate.

As for Ye Feifei, she is even more clueless...

She only had a certificate from the Scrap Iron City Environmental Protection Bureau, which Captain Ouyang got from someone who applied for a certificate on the street.

According to Captain Ouyang, this is to make girls feel more attached to their work...

However, Wei Weidou didn't use his words. As soon as he squeezed in among a group of adults and aunts buying groceries and children who were late for school, he saw Uncle Gun standing in the community smoking. After seeing them, he immediately grinned. Mouth beckoned to them.

When the police at the gate of the community saw this, they raised the cordon and let Wei Wei and Ye Feifei in.

Not only did he not mean to stop him, he even looked at Wei Wei's expression carefully, as if he wanted to remember and let him go directly next time.

"What happened?"

When he arrived in front of Uncle Gun, looking at the messy scene around him, Wei Wei was a little puzzled.

What he usually experiences is rarely this kind of crying and shouting, crowded and lively scene.

Normally, when dealing with extraordinary events, shouldn’t the crowd be dispersed as soon as possible?

"It's not certain yet."

Uncle Gun flicked the ashes of his cigarette and glanced at Ye Feifei strangely, as if he didn't expect that she was here too, and said:

"Looking at it now, I can only say that someone is crazy."

"Before this community, cats, dogs, rabbits, parrots and the like were often lost, but the incidents were relatively minor and did not attract much attention. Until yesterday, a young couple suddenly reported a missing two-year-old child in this community. Child."

"Originally, the matter of missing persons has nothing to do with us."

"But when the people from the security office came to investigate, they did not find the missing child. Unexpectedly, a large number of animal carcasses were found in a house in Building B, the same ones that the neighbors had lost before, all hanging on the On the wall..."

"Some people suspected that this might be related to the missing child, which immediately triggered panic."

"..."

Wei Wei couldn't help but frown: "Is there a supernatural factor?"

"Not sure yet."

Uncle Gun shook his head: "The captain is surveying up there. You can go over and take a look. I'll take a breath first."

"good."

Wei Wei agreed and walked towards a short building inside. Ye Feifei immediately followed him.

Uncle Gun stopped Ye Feifei: "You want to go up too?"

"What's the matter?"

Ye Feifei immediately looked at Uncle Gun warily. He was also an intern. Why could Wei Wei go but he couldn't?

"Haha, it's okay, go ahead, go ahead!"

Uncle Gun blinked his eyes and laughed while holding half a cigarette in his mouth.

Wei Wei and Ye Feifei walked towards the apartment one after another, and heard a young mother crying at the top of her lungs: "My baby, baby, he is only two years old, why are you so cruel? How could you bear to hurt him..."

The man in a gray suit tried to rush into the apartment many times. When he was stopped, he angrily yelled at the police officers:

"Arrest that bastard. Why don't you arrest him?"

"Why are you stopping us here if you don't arrest someone?"

"..."

Wei Wei shook his head slightly, walked past the angry family members, and walked straight into the apartment building with a dilapidated iron door.

I don't know if it was psychological reasons, but I immediately felt a dark aura coming towards me.

There was a faint smell of putrid smell in the heavy flowing air.

After calming down for a moment, Wei Wei walked in through the open door of the apartment.

The living room of the apartment is surprisingly clean, things are arranged very neatly, and the floor is spotless.

However, when Wei Wei and Ye Feifei arrived at the door of the bedroom, they were immediately stimulated by the sight they saw.

The strong rancid smell penetrated the nostrils roughly.

The entire small bedroom was a little dim because of the thick curtains.

But Wei Wei still saw the rather spectacular... specimen on the wall of this bedroom.

Each wooden frame was neatly nailed to the wall.

And inside these frames, there are animals one by one, with shapes ranging from large to small.

They were all nailed directly to the frame with a colored long nail. Whether they were parrots, cats, half-grown border collies, or white rabbits with red eyes, there were twenty or thirty of them. The specimens were made and hung on the four walls of the bedroom.

However, it can be seen that he did it very roughly.

It's just a nail driven into the action body, then nailed into the specimen frame, and then hung on the wall.

Although they were arranged neatly, it could be seen from the wounds and some scratch marks on the specimen frame that these animals were probably still alive when they were nailed to the specimen frame. They struggled for an unknown amount of time before they finally died completely.

It was probably because it was not completely dead when it was hung up. The blood from the movement flowed down from the specimen frame, forming bright red blood bands.

Now they are completely silent.

Only his dull and dry eyes looked at this upside-down world strangely.

"vomit……"

Ye Feifei stood blankly for a long time, turned around and covered his mouth.

Wei Wei calmed down, held his breath, and walked in slowly.

In the room, Captain Ouyang was squatting in front of the bed filled with animal carcasses in the bedroom, meditating while sketching on the paper.

"A serious man is so handsome..."

Wei Wei couldn't help but think in his heart. He didn't dare to disturb him loudly. He deliberately cleared his throat and said softly:

"Captain, we are coming."

"..."

"Huh? Oh oh."

Captain Ouyang stood up in a hurry, stuffed the lottery newspaper full of marks into his arms, and smoothed his hair.
