Chapter 16 I Don't Want to Fly into the Sky
Chen Fu checked the time; it was 7:30 PM.
It takes about 30 minutes to get from the hospital to Sidu Lake. The paranormal society doesn't go there until 9 o'clock, so the timing is perfectly different.
As long as we don't run into each other, it'll be hard to explain... Chen Fu immediately started changing his clothes.
He spent the day in the ward and will be discharged tomorrow. He should be fine going out for a stroll tonight.
As he left the ward, the nurses in the duty room didn't pay much attention to Chen Fu, nor did they see Du Fanyu, assuming he was probably observing the others.
In the ghost marriage incident, Chen Fu was the least affected, followed by Song Shuangwei.
Others who have witnessed bloodshed will experience psychological effects to varying degrees.
Even if there isn't one, the Bureau of Spirits Investigation should still communicate with them about this matter.
At the very least, we must not expose the matter to the public and cause unnecessary conflict.
After leaving the hospital, Chen Fu hailed a Didi (ride-hailing service) and headed straight for Sidu Lake.
The ghost groom floated beside Chen Fu, watching the rapidly receding night view, without saying another word.
He was afraid that if he talked to Chen Fu, it would frighten the driver in front.
The Didi driver never expected that he would only receive one fare for picking up two people.
What upset Chen Fu was that he encountered a traffic jam after walking only two streets, and the traffic jam lasted for half an hour. By the time he arrived at Siduhu, it was already 8:30 p.m.
He paid the fare, immediately bought a knife, shovel, and disposable gloves from the supermarket next door, and ran towards the lake.
"There!"
The ghost groom didn't know why Chen Fu was in such a hurry. After pointing out the direction, he floated ahead as a guide.
Soon, they arrived at an old locust tree.
"The person who killed you was quite particular; they actually buried you next to a locust tree."
Having become a level one player, Chen Fu's physical fitness has greatly improved, and he doesn't feel out of breath even when running at full speed while carrying a shovel.
"If it weren't for this locust tree, I wouldn't have been able to find the body."
The ghost groom also noticed this, but he thought it was just that Chen Fu was naturally strong and didn't think about it in any other way.
Following the instructions, Chen Fu began digging, and soon he unearthed a piece of clothing from under the old locust tree.
He quickened his pace, and in no time, a male corpse dressed in a black jacket and jeans emerged from the ground.
The corpse's face was somewhat deformed due to the mud and deep burial, but it was still possible to discern that it resembled a ghost groom.
There was a hole in his chest, and his clothes were covered in dark stains. Underneath his skin in the center, a strange red light flickered, like a breathing light.
Chen Fu couldn't buy professional dissection tools; supermarkets don't sell those things at all.
But with his expertise in anatomy, he could solve the problem with just a small knife.
The ghost groom didn't think anything was wrong.
Even before he appeared in the hall of the ghost marriage, he had already witnessed Chen Fu's professional abilities and trusted the boy in front of him completely.
Chen Fu first put on disposable gloves, dragged the body out, and then carefully used a knife to cut open the clothing on the body's chest, exposing the area around the wound.
Something resembling a breathing light appeared before my eyes; it was a small, triangular military dagger.
While doing all this, he found himself just like a seasoned dissecter who had dissected countless corpses, experiencing no fear or mistakes whatsoever.
The anatomical skills of the Duke of Minshi began to play a real role.
Chen Fu took out his phone, turned on the light, and began to carefully examine the wound.
He noticed that the tissue around the wound was dark red, possibly due to bleeding infiltration, indicating that it was inserted before death.
By gently pressing on the wound, he concluded:
The ghost groom was stabbed in the chest with a military dagger while face to face, the angle slightly upward, the blow piercing through the heart without hesitation.
To be able to do this, the ghost groom must know someone; otherwise, it would be impossible for him to be completely unprepared at such a short distance.
This also confirms what the ghost groom had said before.
But why does the bayonet flash red?
Chen Fu is very skilled in anatomy, but he lacks knowledge about weapons.
"This bayonet is equipped with a miniature bomb; you can think of it as detonating when the time comes."
The ghost groom revealed what he knew, paused, and then explained:
"They did this to destroy what I had collected."
Brother, if you had told me beforehand that there was a bomb, I wouldn't have come.
Chen Fu never expected to be "tricked" again at the last minute.
In today's society, who has ever seen a bomb? If I make a cut and it doesn't go in the right direction, will it fly into the sky?
His lips twitched as he looked at the ghost groom's guilty face, unsure whether to continue or give up.
Well, since we're already here, we might as well see it through.
But before the dissection, he had some questions to ask.
"The person who killed you was very close to you, but there's one thing I don't understand."
Chen Fu squatted on the ground, holding a small knife and a cell phone, and looked at the groom ghost, saying:
"If they wanted to destroy things, why didn't they just dismember the bodies? Why bury them here? It's like taking off your pants to fart."
Chen Fu's tone was not good, mainly because the ghost groom had kept something from him.
However, this is not a big deal. The more mysterious the other party's identity is, the more reward he can get after the autopsy.
With the powerful skill of dissection mastered by the Duke of Minshi as a foundation, Chen Fu really didn't think he would trigger an explosion when he was doing dissections.
From this perspective, the impact is not significant.
"Because they didn't know where I put the things," the ghost groom honestly replied. "They didn't want to alert the enemy, so they planned to look elsewhere first, and if they didn't find it, they would come back to dismember the body."
"Okay, I got it." Chen Fu nodded. "So you really put it inside your body?"
"Yes, it's in the stomach. Take out the bayonet first, then cut open the stomach and you'll see it."
The ghost groom was indifferent, as if he were treating a stranger, as if the corpse in front of him had nothing to do with him.
Chen Fu couldn't understand how this person could say such cold-blooded things, but since the host had already made the request, he didn't say anything else.
Continue the operation.
Chen Fu first used a knife to clean away the coagulated blood clots around the wound to expand the operating space, and then used two fingers to try to slightly rotate the triangular bayonet.
He had just checked and found that the bayonet had a locking mechanism, which was designed to increase the killing and bleeding effects. If it were pulled out rashly, it could very likely trigger other mechanisms.
After rotating it 15 degrees counterclockwise, Chen Fu felt a slight loosening. He continued to rotate it slowly, feeling the friction between the blade and the surrounding bones.
"Click..."
With a very soft sound, the triangular bayonet seemed to have come off a latch. Chen Fu slowly exhaled and steadily pulled the bayonet out in the opposite direction of the insertion.
The jet-black triangular spikes, stained with dark blood and a few bits of tissue, gleamed with light at the barbs, marking the location of the miniature bomb.
Chen Fu placed the triangular thorn in the pit and began the second task.
Without the threat of explosion from the triangular spikes, the process of removing the contents from the corpse's stomach became much easier.
Chen Fu didn't even need to use any tricks; he simply produced a small memory card.
It looks very similar to the card inserted into a dashcam, but it's smaller than a fingertip.
He looked at the ghost groom, who nodded.
"This is it. I'll give you a phone number now. Call it and have him come over."
The ghost groom immediately recited a string of numbers, which was his boss's contact information.
"With this, he will trust you, and you won't have to worry about anything else after that."
He continued speaking, completely unaware that Chen Fu's expression was somewhat off.
When Chen Fu pressed the first three numbers, he didn't feel anything was wrong, but when he pressed the last three, he realized that it was Zhou Jianbang's phone call!
He had noted down the other person's phone number while at the hospital, and now it all matched.
Why didn't you say earlier that your boss was Zhou Jianbang?
The ghost groom was unaware of this.
The Bureau of Investigation is a very large organization, and in Jiangcheng, the head of each district is different.
He knew that Chen Fu would be investigated by the Bureau of Paranormal Investigation after the ghost marriage incident, but he couldn't be sure if it was Zhou Jianbang who came.
Knowing there were problems within the Bureau of Paranormal Investigation, he only spoke out at the last minute out of caution.
Chen Fu realized this as well and did not make the call.
We'll talk about the embarrassing stuff later; let's first look at the rewards we got from dissecting the corpse!
Chen Fu opened the game, and a line of game text quietly appeared.
"You dissected the body of a young and promising man who died a violent death."
"You have gained the passive skill, Listen to the Death's Whispers."
"By listening to the whispers of the dead, you will hear the murmurs of ghosts or corpses. These are the last lingering thoughts of the deceased. Helping them may bring unimaginable benefits, but you may also be haunted by ghosts and never have peace."
It seems neither good nor bad; it can increase the probability of triggering paranormal events, but it also carries a certain degree of danger.
Chen Fu felt that even without this passive skill, supernatural events would still happen if they were meant to, so he didn't dwell on it and stood next to the corpse to start making phone calls.
Suddenly, a small, fair hand reached out from behind and patted Chen Fu's shoulder.
"Hey! Little Fuzi, didn't you say you were too busy to investigate the water ghost? How come you came here so quietly? Did you want to give me a surprise?"
A clear female voice came from behind him. Chen Fu turned his head and a face with pigtails appeared in front of him.
