Ghost Breath - C30
“Eh? Didn’t we already analyze all those strange links? ”
“No, there’s one other thing we don’t know. It’s about the woman’s two pregnancies.”
“You even believe that? I think it’s bullshit! ” Wang Zili flatly denied.
“I don’t think so, but I don’t know why. I always felt that the matter of the pregnancy was real, probably my intuition.”
“You really have a lot of f * cking intuition. Cut the crap. Everything will be clear once we meet.” With that, Wang Zili opened the door and prepared to go upstairs.
Just then, Wang Zili’s phone rang, he stood still, and picked up the call.
“Hello, who is it? “Oh, oh. Dean Hu, how is it?”
Zhang Nan heard it, it should be because of the matter that Wang Zili asked the Principal to investigate.
“Is that so …” Oh… “Alright, alright, I understand. Alright, thanks for the trouble, I’ll treat you to a meal next time.” In the process of replying, Wang Zili’s face gradually changed.
“What did you find?” Zhang Nan could not help but ask.
“You guessed right.” Wang Zili said in a serious tone, “The matter of that woman doing human flow and investigating her pregnancy are both true. Moreover, she is under the responsibility of the same doctor. Because that woman used to have a lot of gynecological illnesses, she basically went to that doctor every time, so that doctor had a very deep impression of her. ”
Zhang Nan nodded and thought for a moment. Then, he gave Wang Zili a look and the two of them entered the building.
When the light from the elevator reached the 12th floor, the two of them came out. Zhang Nan saw that there was a window beside the elevator, walked over and looked down, and said: “With your experience as a crime expert, how hard do you think it is for us to transport a corpse out of here?”
Wang Zili glanced at it a few times before replying Zhang Nan, “If it was me, it would be very easy. But for ordinary people, especially that girl who’s as thin as a rib, it would probably be very difficult for me …”
“That’s right, let’s go!”
The two of them left the window and headed straight for Chai Hong’s house. In the process, Zhang Nan looked at Wang Zili and asked: “Dazhi, you didn’t bring your fellow, right?”
“Isn’t it just dealing with a little girl? Who do you want to take? It’s been too long since you’ve worked with me, and you’ve forgotten all about what I’m good at, haven’t you?” Wang Zili pretended to be angry and said.
Zhang Nanxin thought that was true, this was Wang Zili after all. Wang Zili had always loved two things ever since he was young. He had won a national martial arts competition in Henan Province during his teens, and had even learnt kickboxing and Taekwondo, as well as Thai boxing and Japanese knife skills. He could be said to be proficient in hand-to-hand equipment, and his shooting skills at the police academy were top-notch. It should be said that in terms of hardware indicators, not many people in the police force could match him.
Unknowingly, the two of them had already reached Chai Hong’s home. Just as Wang Zili was about to press the doorbell, he discovered that the door was actually left ajar after entering.
Wang Zili pushed open the door and the two of them slowly entered the room. An ordinary living room appeared in front of them. Marble floor, brown leather sofa, round glass table, 30-40 inch LCD TV, a dark yellow chandelier hanging from the ceiling, it looked quite old.
The living room was dark because the balcony curtains were drawn and the curtains were darker.
Generally speaking, other than the fact that the decorative style of Chai Hong’s house was dark, there was nothing special about it.
On the other hand, when Zhang Nan entered the door, he smelt a strange odor, which looked like the stench of dead fish. He believed that Wang Zili smelt it too.
“Is anyone here?” Wang Zili’s loud and coarse voice came out.
Wang Zili asked three times in a row, but no one answered.
At this time, Zhang Nan saw a wooden staircase in the corner of the living room.
He just remembered that Chai Hong’s house was on the twelfth floor, which was the highest floor of this building. Some apartments really had an additional floor.
Wang Zili also saw it, and looked at Zhang Nan, as if he was waiting for his instructions.
Zhang Nan made a gesture with his hand and the two of them slowly walked to the front of the wooden stairs.
“There’s a problem.” Wang Zili whispered to Zhang Nan.
Zhang Nan stepped onto the wooden stairs and walked up slowly. He raised his right hand and without turning his head, he said to Wang Zili: “Don’t be afraid, I’ll walk in front.”
Wang Zili immediately roared at Zhang Nan: “What am I afraid of! Do you take me for one of your clients? Laozi has never followed the logic of someone’s ass in a case, so scram, and let me walk in front! ”
Wang Zili said as he rushed in front of Zhang Nan. He almost pushed Zhang Nan down the wooden stairs.
When the two of them reached the pavilion, Zhang Nan said: “This way of handling cases, it’s really easy to alert the enemy.”
Wang Zili replied: “Bullshit, you’re the one being blamed. Of my subordinates, who would dare walk in front of me?”
After a brief exchange of insults, the two of them noticed that a person was quietly listening to their conversation in the dark depths of the pavilion.
“Chai Hong?” Zhang Nan recognized him first.
“Yes.” Chai Hong replied as she slowly pulled open the curtains a crack.
The pavilion became bright all of a sudden, and both of them saw at the same time that Chai Hong was wearing a striped pajamas. Her hair was messy, and there was even a layer of film on her face.
Chai Hong removed the film covering her face, rubbed her cheeks and finally said with a smile: “You guys are here? I’m sorry, but I’m applying a facial mask, so it’s not convenient for me to speak. ”
“Oh, we couldn’t find you, so we came here. “What are you doing in the attic, why are you closing all the curtains?” Wang Zili asked with a questioning tone.
When Wang Zili spoke, Zhang Nan took a sniff. He realized that the fishy stench was especially strong in the pavilion.
“I like to be in the attic, no reason. Officer Wang, how’s the investigation going? “” I’m not sure, but I’m afraid that the man will come and find me.
“Let’s go down first!” Seeing that the loft was too crowded, Wang Zili decided to take a good look at Chai Hong in the living room.
Back in the living room, Chai Hong made tea for Wang Zili and Zhang Nan and made them both sit down to talk. During this time, Wang Zili kept looking at Chai Hong and thought that there was something wrong with Chai Hong’s mind.
“You look very haggard.” Wang Zili said.
“Yeah, these two days I’ve been feeling especially uncomfortable, especially today. I’ve been feeling nauseous and sick all this time.”
“You were just pregnant and you had such a big reaction?”
“That might not be the case. Besides, it’s hard to say what exactly is that thing I’m carrying.” Chai Hong laughed bitterly.
Wang Zili drank his saliva and did not reply. After putting down the teacup, he continued to ask, “Do you have anything to add to what you told us yesterday?”
Zhang Nan could hear that Wang Zili was trying to interrogate him. In this aspect, Wang Zili was proficient at it, so he decided to not interrupt him and leave everything to Wang Zili.
“No, what’s wrong?” Chai Hong asked.
“Oh, I’m just asking, how was your sleep last night?”
“I haven’t slept for almost a night. I’m telling you, I’m in too much pain. At the worst, I have to run to the toilet and vomit once every few minutes.”
“Did you cut your nails?” Wang Zili did not respond to Chai Hong’s words, and continued to dominate the conversation.
“Yes, nails are too long.”
“Is it convenient to move things after cutting them?”
“What?” “What do you mean?” Chai Hong instantly revealed a strange expression.
“Oh, I mean, if I cut my nails, it should be more convenient.”
“That… “That’s about right.” Chai Hong was a little careless.
“How about this, let’s sort out what you told us yesterday.” Wang Zili sat up, “First of all, you said that your husband disappeared more than two weeks ago, and then you met that man at … Was it three months ago? ”
“Right.”
“So your husband was there from the time you met him until your husband disappeared, wasn’t he?”
“Yeah.” Chai Hong’s face slowly turned strange.
“What does he do every day?”
“Sleep, watch TV. I don’t know. I don’t care about him.”
“Not going out?”
“Well, he always likes to be at home, and so do I.” Chai Hong’s tone was evidently not firm.
“That’s not right!” From the time you found out there was something wrong with the man to the time your husband disappeared, you said you went to the gym every night? ” Wang Zili continued to ask aggressively.
“Mm …” “What’s wrong?” Chai Hong’s face started to turn red.
“We know something about your husband. How could a hysterical man like him agree and believe that you go to the gym every night?”
“He … Maybe he saw that I was tired when I came home every day, so he didn’t suspect anything. ”
Zhang Nanxin, who was sitting at the side, thought: What kind of explanation is this, it seems like this woman is already in a mess.
“Tired?” Wang Zili laughed out loud, “Doing a lot of things will make you look very tired, such as… Forget it. “According to what you said, your husband is a reasonable person. He didn’t notice that you were cheating and even allowed you to go out every night. This is different from what you described previously.”
“Is that so …” Probably… You guys know a little differently from me, right? ” Chai Hong replied half-heartedly.
“Alright, turn the page. Let’s talk about other things.” Wang Zili laughed, as if victory was within his grasp.
“Alright, let’s talk about other things.” Chai Hong took the cup and drank some water. Zhang Nan and Wang Zili noticed at the same time that his hands were trembling.
“Where’s the ring on your finger?” Wang Zili pointed and asked.
“Hmm? “Ring?” Chai Hong couldn’t react in time. Her fingers were empty now, and she wore no ornaments.
“Let me remind you, when you came to see us yesterday, you had a wedding ring on your finger.”
“Oh …” Oh… “Well, I don’t usually wear a ring at home.”
“Do you usually wear it when you go out?”
“Yeah.”
“Isn’t it troublesome to always wear it and take it off?”
“Not bad.”
When she replied to Wang Zili, Chai Hong kept her head down and spoke softly.
“Just put your left hand on the tea table.” Wang Zili said.
Chai Hong hesitated first, but in the end, she could only do as she was told.
Wang Zili moved closer to Chai Hong’s left hand, which was placed on the tea table, and said immediately: “Your finger is very clean, it doesn’t look like it’s been wearing a ring for a long time, there aren’t even any marks on the ring.”
Chai Hong quickly retracted her hand and said anxiously: “My ring is rather loose, so … “There were no traces left behind.”
“That’s not right.” Zhang Nan finally interrupted, “Ms. Chai, I remember very clearly that your ring is very tight, so tight that you even feel uncomfortable, and always need to be touched with your hands.”
“Ah?” Are you sure? ”
“Let’s not talk about anything else. I have quite a bit of confidence in my memory. Besides, it was only yesterday.” Zhang Nan sat steadily and said.
Chai Hong was speechless, she looked at Wang Zili, then at Zhang Nan, not daring to speak for a moment.
Wang Zili snorted, letting out a heavy snort, before he stood up and slowly walked to the window.
He pulled open the curtains, looked down and asked Chai Hong, “I remember you telling me that you would often see that man waiting for you down there. Sometimes he would hide behind a telegraph pole, sometimes he would hide in the woods, but your house is such a high building, and at night, how good would your eyesight be to be able to see that man?”
As Wang Zili spoke, he turned his head back and a sharp gaze shot towards Chai Hong. Chai Hong’s eyes widened, and his face flushed red, as he gasped for breath.
She did not dare explain, nor did she know how.
“Speak, where is your husband’s corpse?” Wang Zili finally revealed his cards.
“What?” My husband is missing, and I didn’t kill him! ” Chai Hong covered her stomach, looking quite uncomfortable.
“I don’t have the patience to listen to your bullshit. If you don’t say it, then just come back to the police station with me and talk slowly!”
“I really don’t have it. Officer Wang, believe me.” Chai Hong’s expression was in extreme pain.
“You woman, your mouth is full of lies, and you even sued the wicked first, reporting your husband’s disappearance. You just want to clear your suspicions, so I’m afraid that your husband won’t appear for a long time, so others might suspect you, right? ” Wang Zili asked as he pointed at Chai Hong.
Seeing that Chai Hong was about to collapse, Zhang Nan thought to himself: This woman is undoubtedly the murderer, but if she came to find me, she must really have a request from me, if not she would not have taken this risk. Although she was a little delirious and imagined her husband as a demon, pregnancy and miscarriage were proven to be true. What exactly was she carrying?
While feeling suspicious, Zhang Nan looked at the pavilion, and suddenly thought of a question: Why does she like to stay in the pavilion?
“I want to see it again.” Zhang Nan suddenly said to Wang Zili.
“Alright, let’s go together.” Wang Zili indicated for Chai Hong to come along as well.
Then, the three of them went back to the pavilion, but Chai Hong had a pained expression on her face, she was in a daze and was retching nonstop.
Zhang Nan concentrated and tried his best not to be disturbed by Chai Hong, as he carefully examined the pavilion that was less than five square metres.
The smell of the attic was worse than the living room, which was the most obvious difference.
This meant that the source of the stench was most likely in the attic.
Zhang Nan finally noticed the wooden board at the top of the pavilion that could be opened at the very center.
He and Wang Zili were both more than 1.8 meters tall, so they could reach the small ceiling of the pavilion with a stretch of their hands.
Zhang Nan smoothly found the wooden handle and pulled it open. An even more pungent smell wafted into his nose.
Wang Zili had a keen sense of smell, he quickly went closer to the small window and took a sniff, then resolutely said: “Corpse stench!”
He turned around to ask Chai Hong, but realized that Chai Hong had already propped herself up with her hands and was spitting out white foam and saliva nonstop. Her eyes were blood-red, and the expression on her face could be described as sinister.
Seeing that, Wang Zili did not ask anymore, and directly moved a stool from the side, and extended his head into the pavilion, enduring the stench, inspecting the small space, and sure enough, he found the source of the stench, it was a pile of bloody human bones!
Relying on his rich experience in handling cases and his strong mental fortitude, Wang Zili did not feel any panic, but instead, leaned even closer to the pile of human bones. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the human bones were not cut out using some sort of professional method, because the meat on the bones was not cleanly picked out, and there were even many pieces of meat stuck to them.
“What’s going on?” Zhang Nan asked.
“Go take a look yourself.” Wang Zili pointed.
Seeing the pile of bones, Zhang Nan was not surprised at all. With just a glance, he came down.
“Those bones are your husband’s, right?” Wang Zili asked Chai Hong.
Chai Hong let out painful groans as her mental state collapsed to the extreme, so she did not take Wang Zili’s words to heart.
“No doubt.” Zhang Nan replied.
“Where did the rest of the body go? Why is there a pile of bones? How did she do it?” Wang Zili turned and asked Zhang Nan.
Zhang Nan was silent for a few breaths of time, as if he was thinking about something, then replied: “She ate her husband.”
“Oh?” Wang Zili was startled, “ate it? “How can you tell?”
“Relying on the broken pieces of flesh on my bones. Have you forgotten how much better my eyesight is in the dark? I could clearly see that the flesh was covered with bite marks. She must have been eating for a long time, so that’s all her husband has left. ”
“En, I will get someone to bring these corpses back for the forensic doctor to appraise later.” Wang Zili said.
“Why do you think she ate her husband?” Zhang Nan asked.
“Maybe she can’t find a good way to deal with the corpse, so she used such a bloody and perverted method?”
“It’s not that simple. I’ve told you before, most of the problems come from the words you’ve told this woman: hate her to the bones.”
“I understand. On one hand, she wants to use this method to exterminate the body. On the other hand, she’s venting her hatred to the point that she wants to bite off the flesh of her husband with every bite?”
“Something like that. “So I just wondered why she likes to stay in the attic. Now I understand, she’s savoring the smell of the corpse and continuing to vent her accumulated resentment towards her husband over the years.”
“In that case… “She got pregnant twice, and for some reason, the second time, she got pregnant. Don’t tell me …” A terrifying guess rose in Wang Zili’s mind.
“Yeah.” Zhang Nan looked at Wang Zili, his expression heavy, “Isn’t it just because of her husband … It was eaten by her, is it in her body? ”
When Zhang Nan said these words, Chai Hong could no longer hold back and roared loudly. Her face slowly started to swell, the veins on her neck started to bulge, and her body started to tremble uncontrollably.
In the next moment, some of Chai Hong’s hair actually drilled out from her ears, ears, and nose. Soon after, she vomited blood and flesh, and her body began to swell and tear. There were even pieces of flesh that desperately squeezed out from the cracks in her body.
Zhang Nan and Wang Zili watched on quietly, then Wang Zili shouted: “Change! Change your father, I want to see what you can become! ”
“I think she’s finished.” Zhang Nan said.
Indeed, balls of minced meat were falling out of Chai Hong’s body, with blood all over the floor.
After a while, Zhang Nan asked Wang Zili: “Aren’t you going to save her?”
Wang Zili poked his chin and said: “Look at her, how can I save her?”
In front of the two of them, Chai Hong had already turned into a pool of indistinct flesh, including her internal organs and bones. Only one head was left on the floor.
At this time, a portion of the meat that had been squeezed out of Chai Hong’s body started to wiggle and combine into something.
“You know what’s in her belly now?” Wang Zili pointed, and said to Zhang Nan.
“Yes, her devil.”
He only saw that in front of Chai Hong’s head, another male head that was badly mutilated appeared. The male head was close to her, and they looked at each other face to face. That was the face that Chai Hong hated and hated the most when she was alive.
Suddenly, a light sound came out from the floor, it was Chai Hong’s bloodstained pajamas. A ring fell out of her pocket, it was Chai Hong’s wedding ring.
The ring had coincidentally landed between Chai Hong and her husband’s heads, shining brightly in the pool of blood.
Oh no!
