The Divine Hunter

Chapter 33 Inspection

Morgue.

Under dim light.

A man as strong as a bear was sobbing in front of the cold wooden bed.

"Aisha, open your eyes and look at me..." Todd lay beside the girl, holding her face against her forehead.

At first glance, he confirmed the identity of the other party, and the face of her mother Colleen Kuxiao was the most direct evidence.

"I'm a coward, a sinner, and an irresponsible man. I haven't seen you for more than ten years. I don't deserve to be a father."

"But please give me a chance to atone for my sins," Todd turned softly into firmness in the cold girl's ear, "Let me avenge you!"

"But I'm sorry...in order to catch the killer...I need your help later."

"Aisha's current state, is it dead or alive?"

Next to the big man, Roy's eyebrows were twisted into a ball. After a cursory inspection, he found that the other party was not breathing or beating, his pupils were completely dilated, and his body temperature was frighteningly low. From these aspects, the girl was definitely a dead person.

But some of her physical signs are completely different from the deceased.

The blond hair is very shiny, not as dry and haggard as the dead, the skin is smooth and delicate, there is no puffiness, and there should be no internal bleeding.

There were no visible scars all over his body, let alone wounds that would kill him. In addition to the calluses left by overworked skin on hands and feet, this is in line with poverty.

There are bells on the ankles, and the cause of death column on the edge of the wooden bed No. 13 is still empty.

Did the coroner fail to find the cause of her death, or did it not have time to examine?

"Surrounded by chaotic energy..."

Perhaps it was the chaotic energy that kept her body from rotting over time, keeping it alive and beautiful.

And now she was as quiet as Sleeping Beauty, and she couldn't and couldn't resist everything in the outside world.

So now the question is, who brought Elsa's body to the morgue, when and from where?

Find out the answer to the question, maybe,

They can follow the trail and find clues to the murderer in the dream.

In addition, the death of the coroner and assistant is horrific. Is it also related to Elsa, or is it just a coincidence?

"Did you see her?"

The hunchback came quietly behind Roy, looked at the deceased under the white cloth, and lamented, "It's a pity, what a beautiful and well-behaved girl, she died so young before she had time to enjoy the beauty of this world."

Quasimodo did not hide the regret on his face at all,

"She shouldn't belong to such a dark and bloody place. I don't know which guy is so cruel."

The witcher turned around suddenly, looking straight into Quasimodo's eyes with sharp eyes, "I almost forgot your job. You have always been responsible for the corpse collector."

"You're right, I recovered the entire Novigrad body and transported them to this morgue. I brought this girl back too."

"When and where did you find her?"

"Uh..." The hunchback paused, with obvious hesitation on his face. He felt that the young security guard in front of him was too curious, "Does your question have anything to do with the Coroner's case?"

The witcher stared at each other. When the hunchback's eyes flickered, a hand quickly slid in front of his eyes, and the five fingers fluttered like a butterfly through a flower, and instantly outlined the Axifa seal.

"Does the coroner, assistant, and Elsa's death have anything to do with you?"

"No."

Roy felt a little disappointed, "Tell me everything about her right away."

...

Quasimodo lowered his head, shook his deformed body, and replied in a trance,

"On the evening of the day before yesterday, I got news that a businessman in the northern district was robbed and killed, and I rushed over to collect his body. I found her on the way to transport the body."

The hunchback pointed at Aisha, "Lying in the greenery beside the road, I thought at first that this lady was drunk or knocked unconscious... I called several times and she didn't respond. I approached. Going to check, only to find that she has no breathing and no heartbeat - she is dead."

"After the sheriff arrived at the scene to conduct a preliminary investigation, I transported her back to the morgue and handed it over to His Excellency the Coroner. After he found out the specific cause of death, I left."

...

Roy suddenly opened his eyes.

The day before yesterday evening, this time. Not exactly the day before the coroner and assistant were found dead.

Aisha was taken back to the mortuary, and the coroner and assistant, who both died violently, were found in the early morning, and the two incidents were almost close together!

"When you found the dead, she was like this? Is there any difference?"

Quasimodo shook his head,

The witcher asked, "Did the coroner who received the body behaved abnormally, or did you find it strange?"

Hunchback frowned and recalled for a while, "Your Excellency the Coroner is as cold as ever, and he didn't communicate with me a word."

"So what do you think..." Roy turned Elsa's body over and confirmed that there were no wounds on her back. "Will the coroner and his assistants dissect the body you brought here that night?"

"Only the businessman who was robbed and killed that day, and this one, have a total of two corpses. According to what I know of the coroner, he will definitely finish the autopsy and wait until the early morning before resting."

"Where is the businessman's body?!"

According to Quasimodo's instructions, the witcher flipped through the register in a drawer at the door of the room.

"Bed No. 12, Aino, a timber merchant..." Aisha was sleeping on the bed, on the left.

Roy took a deep breath and yanked the white cloth back. A man in his forties with a pot belly, covered in medical preservatives, with a striking suture on his chest, with a bruised body and pale skin, appeared in his field of vision. man.

Obviously, the deceased was passive.

"Is that the autopsy you did for him?"

Quasimodo shook his head, "It's the coroner!"

Then, the time of death of the coroner and assistant should be between the autopsy of the timber merchant and Elsa.

But the latter could not see any wounds.

Roy thought, "They were attacked after the autopsy of the timber merchant?"

Roy looked at the innocent face of the deceased and could only think so - the coroner had not had time to autopsy Aisha, destroying the integrity, otherwise how could the flesh and blood resist a sharp scalpel? !

"call--"

Suddenly, a cold wind blew in from the door.

The witcher couldn't help shivering.

But time passed, and outside the morgue, the sun began to disappear on the horizon.

The temperature dropped further.

"Master, have you found something?" Todd temporarily shifted his attention from his relatives. He felt like he had caught a certain point, but he couldn't tell.

"I don't have a clue about Elsa."

"But I do know a lot about the coroner and assistant. The killers who killed them were humanoids! And there's more than one." Roy said firmly, "The coroner and assistant's body surface and internal organs all have traces of being bitten and swallowed. ."

"Judging from the traces, the perpetrators' teeth are between carnivores and herbivores, with canines, incisors, premolars, and posterior molars, and are closer to herbivores."

"It's definitely an ordinary human being." Todd said that the basic human body structure is a compulsory course for mercenaries, and his more than ten years of fighting is not in vain.

"There are marks of fisting and scratching of fingernails on the two of them, which are also in line with human characteristics."

Roy glanced at the female corpse, um, the nails were clean.

He went on to explain, "There are also a lot of scalpel wounds, cuts, cuts, stab wounds... The murder weapon is exactly the same as the autopsy equipment here."

"Only humans and humanoids can use a scalpel with such dexterity."

In fact, the witcher also discovered that most of the blood was concentrated inside the morgue, and there was not much fresh blood in the outside world, including near the door of the morgue.

The coroner's killer seemed to have been removed from the inside of the morgue, leaving him no traces that could be traced with the witcher's senses.

It was abnormal, but he couldn't understand it for a while.

Quasimodo shook his head, the effect of the Axifa seal was over, and he also woke up. He just heard Roy's analysis, and answered without hesitation, "Yes, you are exactly the same as my previous inspection results, the murderer should be a human, madman."

Only a madman, a person on the verge of madness, can do everything to the extreme, like an animal, using nails and teeth to brutally kill a person, and the process is accompanied by the behavior of eating flesh and blood.

"This world is really getting worse and worse." Quasimodo sighed, "There are evil spirits, water ghosts, and ghouls lurking outside the city, and there are even more terrifying monsters lurking in the city. You two, what do you think? Who is the murderer?"

"Not sure yet."

The witcher shook his head.

In some cases, the same kind is more cruel than the different.

And this time.

The sun was setting, and the twilight was completely closed.

Quasimodo, the janitor of the morgue, looked at the sky hesitantly, said hello, and left after get off work.

The guards of the eternal fire still have not returned.

Only the witcher and the mercenary were left in the room.

...

"This guy," Roy recalled Quasimodo's performance, always feeling weird.

His every move has traces of performance.

But he wasn't a murderer, or something like a higher vampire.

Roy couldn't understand for a while.

Todd, on the other hand, looked solemn.

"Master Roy, you have mentioned a series of tragedies derived from the prophecy of the dark sun. That warlock, the man with the blurred face in the dream, is the prophecy poisoner, capturing and driving away girls born during the solar eclipse, such as my Aisha ."

"My daughter must have been caught by him as an experimental material, which made her look so weird."

Todd rubbed the side of the girl's face. Even though the corpse had been cold for a long time, it was as beautiful as a living person. He was even more convinced that Aisha had undergone some kind of transformation and it came from within.

"Yes, what the warlock did to her must have something to do with the prophecy of the black sun."

...

"I, I want to examine her further to find out the cause of her death..." Todd quietly grabbed the sharp scalpel in the surgical tray, and before the witcher could react, he gently cut open the skin of the deceased's wrist.

Roy hesitated. He originally thought that Todd would leave a decent place for Elsa.

But looking at Todd's crazy appearance, he doesn't seem to care anymore.

Stopping it now will make him miserable, right?

under the scalpel.

White skin glides smoothly to the sides like a cream.

But it was very strange that her blood seemed to solidify on the bottom of her skin, and it didn't seep out the slightest bit, not even a scalpel.

Roy stared.

"What exactly did that bastard do to Elsa, and what ability does he have? I want to find out," Todd's face was sometimes sad, sometimes resentful, "and then returned it tenfold and a hundredfold."

"Puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The gloomy underground morgue blew a gloomy wind again, and the firelight swayed, and a faint female voice echoed faintly, sobbing.
