Chapter 213 The Appearance of the Second Corpse

Another person came forward to confirm this person's identity.

Ning Ze also observed the condition of the corpse. Judging from the face, it was indeed a middle-aged man. Some of these territorial residents would indeed work on the construction site of the first phase of the territory.

Then, he asked: "Does this person usually pray, worship, etc.?"

The citizen scratched the back of his head, seeming to be recalling the past, and then slowly said: "I don't think I've seen him behave like this in normal times, but it's hard to say such a thing. After all, if he locked himself in the room, he would Even if you pray, no one will know."

This was true, but Ning Ze continued to ask several other people about this question, and the final answer he got was that this kind of prayer had never occurred in this life, at least not in public. Pass.

After hearing this, he already made a basic judgment.

After all, there are no regulations prohibiting belief in the territory. If the people in the territory have their own beliefs and want to pray or pray, he will not say anything.

Usually, people who believe in a "sect", in addition to their daily habitual prayers, will also pray when they encounter some unpleasant things. However, from the mouths of these people, no one has ever seen this person have any troubles in his life. An act of “faith.”

This is enough to illustrate the problem. This person's "belief" behavior is most likely a recent acquired behavior.

However, there were still not enough clues. Ning Ze immediately said to many of the residents, "Will anyone do an autopsy?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent, and even some people who wanted to show off in front of him instinctively took a step back.

It's not that these people are afraid of corpses, but that very few people know how to do autopsy in daily life. Without the diamond, they would naturally not be able to do the porcelain work.

Ning Ze just wanted to give it a try. Seeing that no one came forward, he came up with this idea. But at this moment, the people leading the crowd weakly raised a hand.

He looked closely and saw a middle-aged man raising his hand in the crowd, but his other arm that was not raised did not exist. This was obviously a person who had lost his arm.

"Very good, what's your name? Can you do an autopsy?" Ning Ze nodded.

The middle-aged man said: "Lord, the villain's name is Yang Ming. It is indeed an autopsy."

"Okay, then come and see how this body is doing?" Ning Ze said.

Yang Ming immediately got closer to the body and took a look, but Ning Ze didn't let him touch the body, so he could only perform some autopsy methods that could be observed with his eyes.

A few minutes later, Yang Ming had already made a preliminary conclusion: "Lord, this corpse is really weird."

"What a weird method?" Ning Ze asked.

"According to the villain's observation, although there are some wounds on the surface of this body, they are also abrasions, which should be related to the work he did, but they are not fatal injuries. As for the cause of death, the villain is temporarily checking It’s not out, but judging from some of the external features of this body, this person has been dead for two days.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Someone immediately said: "Impossible, I was still working with him yesterday. If he has been dead for two days, then who was the person who worked with me yesterday?"

Yang Ming also felt a little embarrassed: "I don't know about that."

Regarding this situation, Ning Ze did not doubt Yang Ming's words. After all, there were many strange things in this world, but because of the results of Yang Ming's analysis, he also realized that this matter was not simple.

But at this moment, someone suddenly screamed and said: "By the way, I remembered that there are some strange things about Hong Donghua's performance these two days. For example, every time lunch and dinner are distributed on the construction site, he They didn’t even eat it, but they said they were taking it home to eat.”

Regarding this clue, Ning Ze immediately asked Wang Xu to investigate this situation.

Sure enough, not long after, Wang Xu went to Hong Donghua's residence and found some spoiled food in the room. Judging from the amount of the food, it was exactly two days' worth.

According to further clues, Hong Donghua does not have any material reserves. If he wants to maintain basic living needs, he can only rely on working on the construction site to obtain food. The daily amount of food provided by the first phase construction site in the territory is almost equal to each person. The amount required for daily use will not be left over.

In other words, Hong Donghua has actually not eaten in the past two days, and the lack of food is not because there is no food, but because he has food but has not eaten at all.

This information is basically consistent with what Yang Ming said that Hong Donghua had been dead for two days.

But then, someone immediately broke a shocking news.

After hesitating for a while, a citizen stood up and said, "Lord, I want to report someone."

Then, he pointed at someone in the crowd, and everyone looked at him in confusion.

He also felt a bit of pressure. After all, reporting other people in the territory was not a good thing for the people in the territory. Instead, Ning Ze said lightly: "It doesn't matter if you just say it."

The man pointed at one of them and said, "I want to report this person because I didn't see him eating yesterday."

The person being pointed at suddenly turned red on his neck, and immediately roared: "Nonsense, I clearly ate yesterday. If I hadn't eaten, how would I have the strength to work today?"

But as soon as he finished speaking, someone else immediately stood up and said: "He just didn't eat yesterday, and I thought he was feeling unwell yesterday and asked him about his situation, but he said he wanted to take it back to eat so that he could sleep. Have a good sleep.”

"And it's not just him, there are several people on the construction site who are in this situation."

This person's remarks immediately triggered a riot among the crowd, and at the same time, more and more people came forward to report others.

Ning Ze thought it was just a coincidence at first, but it seemed that more and more people were being reported, and he gradually realized that something was wrong with this matter.

After pondering for a moment, he said to Wang Xu: "Send someone to check everyone's residence and see what the specific situation is."

His voice was neither loud nor quiet, but it was enough for everyone to hear. Ning Ze also wanted to see the reaction of those who were reported, but he saw that those who were reported had firm faces and believed in themselves. It was not as reported, so that those who reported it had some doubts about whether they had made a mistake.

But soon, Wang Xu brought shocking news.

When Wang Xu came back again, his face was not good, it could even be said to be ugly.

Because this time he asked people to inspect the residences of all the residents in the territory. If you don't check, you won't know. After checking, he found that many of the residents' residences had a lot of spoiled food piled up.

Yes, after his investigation, he found that there were more than 200 residents in the entire territory, but this phenomenon existed in the residences of more than 20 people.

Even if these spoiled foods are wasted, it will only make people feel sad at most. But thinking about Hong Donghua's situation, these spoiled foods are not just a waste of food.

When he informed the lord of this situation, Ning Ze was also shocked.

After all, after a thorough investigation this time, it was found that there were spoiled food in the residences of twenty-seven territorial residents. Some of these foods had accumulated for two days, and some had accumulated for one day.

Food can be said to be a precious commodity for people today. Even if someone is extravagant and wasteful, they will not waste food, let alone a group of territorial citizens.

Hong Donghua was dead, and spoiled food was also found in his room. However, the same situation occurred among the twenty-seven territorial residents, which had to make him pay attention.

However, he did not make this matter public first. Wang Xu on the side also said with erratic eyes:

"Lord, how should we deal with this matter? It's unusual for the food to go rancid. I suspect that these people may be in the same situation as Hong Donghua. Finally."

He didn't finish his words, but the meaning he wanted to express was self-evident.

Hong Donghua has become a corpse here in a strange way, and Hong Donghua's situation is likely to appear in these territorial residents.

But he did not panic, and immediately said to Wang Xu: "Don't worry yet, select a few of the twenty-seven people and go to their residences to see how they perform."

Wang Xu immediately sent people to carry out the matter, and the majesty of the combat team was undoubtedly huge for these territorial residents. He took the selected few people to their residences without any obstruction throughout the process.

But what happened next was a bit beyond his expectation. After the few people who were taken there did not show the slightest surprise after entering their residence, they still looked at others with some confusion. people.

Wang Xu couldn't stand anymore, so he immediately entered one of the residences, picked up the rotten things on the table, approached the person involved and asked, "How do you explain this?"

But the man showed an embarrassed expression and said with embarrassment: "Dean Wang, I am usually a little sloppy. I haven't had time to clean up the dinner after last night, but I eat very cleanly." , even the bowl was licked clean, absolutely no food was wasted.”

Such an answer made Wang Xu a little stunned. He really couldn't believe that this person would tell lies in front of him. It was obviously filled with spoiled food, and the sour smell filled the whole room. .

He was just about to curse, but he accidentally saw puzzled looks on the faces of some of the people standing outside the door. The expressions seemed to mean that they couldn't understand why he would ask with an empty bowl. party.

However, Wang Xu remembered that no spoiled food was found in these people's residences. This phenomenon made him think of some not-so-good things.

Immediately, he stopped holding on to this person, but put down his job and left the house. Later, he learned the specific situation from several other residences.

The residents who were taken to the residence all turned a blind eye to the spoiled food, and their behavior was very different from what he encountered.

After thinking for a moment, he brought another rice bowl filled with rancid food, came to the front of the people and asked, "What do you think is in this bowl?"

Immediately, there was a rustling sound:

"It's just an empty bowl, what else could there be?"

"Nonsense, that bowl is obviously full of rancid food."

"Yue~ What a waste of resources. I won't eat these foods even if they are spoiled. If you don't want to eat them, give them to me."

"Ah? Is it because I didn't wake up or you didn't wake up? There's obviously nothing in the bowl."

"."

A group of citizens quarreled with each other, but when this situation fell into Wang Xu's eyes, his eyes instantly became heavy.

Not far away, Ning Ze was also paying attention to the situation here and saw a series of things that Wang Xu had just caused. At the same time, his face became extremely ugly.

Wang Xu also came to his side at this time, and said with a heavy expression: "Lord, you should have seen what happened just now. I'm afraid this matter."

He didn't dare to say any more, because there was something strange about this matter, and when he thought about Hong Donghua, the matter might be much worse than he imagined.

But then, Wang Xu pointed out: "I'm afraid such a thing is no longer a small-scale incident. After some testing by my subordinates just now, I found that there are still many residents who do not have bad food in their residences, and they also appear. Turning a blind eye to food.”

The implication is that the actual situation of such a thing may have exceeded his expectations.

Ning Ze was silent for a long time without speaking, and after deep thought, he just said: "Ask Xue Siyu to call back all the people who were collecting supplies outside, and at the same time notify Lai Yami to arrange medical personnel to check these people immediately. Body."

The number of residents who had found rotten food in their residences was as high as twenty-seven. However, after Wang Xu had just tested it, he found that twenty-seven was only the number that could be determined at present.

This situation is like a plague and has spread to a larger area. I am afraid that more people in the territory will suffer from similar situations.

But according to what he observed, there was something unusual about the people who regarded the rotten food as invisible. Judging from their reactions, it seemed that they really couldn't see the rotten food. It was not like they were pretending. Yes, because they have never concealed this matter.

But at this moment, someone discovered another body in the territory.

Ning Ze was surprised because he had scanned the territory through his snake sense earlier and confirmed that only Hong Donghua was dead in the territory for the time being, and there was absolutely no chance of a second corpse appearing in the territory.

And when he arrived at the scene of the incident, he saw another corpse appearing, but the death condition was different from Hong Donghua's. (End of chapter)
