Under the sun, a corpse is first showed corpse spots.
Then, the second one, the third one…
In less than three minutes, on all twelve corpses, the same corpse spots appeared.
Anyone with a bit of medical knowledge knows that after a normal person dies, the livor mortis is generally purplish red or dark purple. But the livor mortis on these twelve corpses in front of us are all black.
Each piece of livor mortis is as big as a fist and is in a pattern shape, just like a blooming black rose, giving people a gloomy and terrifying feeling.
“What… what’s going on here？”
Gu Feng’s face was full of surprise.
Because under normal circumstances, the livor mortis will appear about two hours after a person dies. But these twelve corpses have been placed in the cold storage for up to thirty hours. Logically speaking, the livor mortis should have appeared long ago.
“I guess it should be related to the temperature of the cold storage. The temperature of the cold storage is very low, which has solidified the blood, so the livor mortis didn’t appear on their bodies before.” Ye Qiu said.
“This is not right. When we found these deceased, they had already been dead for more than twelve hours. Normally, the livor mortis should have appeared on their bodies at that time.”
Hearing Gu Feng’s words, Ye Qiu frowned.
Yes, why didn’t the livor mortis appear before？
Just then, a stench rushed into the nostrils.
Yang Qi vomited on the spot.
It’s not her fault. Mainly, this stench is really too stinky, even stinkier than rotten stinky tofu. Even Ye Qiu has a feeling of nausea and vomiting.
Gu Feng shouted loudly： “Brother Ye Qiu, look quickly, there is a change on the corpse.”
Ye Qiu looked up and saw that within just a few seconds, the twelve corpses, from the neck down, turned pitch black, as if they had just been pulled out of a coal mine.
What was eerie was that the parts above the necks of these corpses did not turn black, but there were wisps of dark red lines, densely covered on the faces, crisscrossing, looking ferocious and terrifying.
Each corpse had its eyes wide open, filled with fear and dread, its hands tightly clenched into fists and not letting go, and its whole body was stiff.
As if seeing something extremely terrifying before dying.
Hiss…
Ye Qiu took a deep breath of cold air, his face became extremely solemn, and said: “Sure enough, as I expected, they all died of poisoning.”
Gu Feng couldn’t help but ask： “Brother Ye Qiu, do you know what kind of poison they were poisoned by？”
“Let me take a look and then talk.”
Ye Qiu came to the front of the twelve corpses, carefully looked at them, and observed them repeatedly. Gradually, a look of terror appeared on his face.
“This, how is this possible？”
Ye Qiu felt incredible.
“Brother Ye Qiu, what did you find out？” Gu Feng asked hurriedly.
“The poison they were poisoned by is very much like…” Before Ye Qiu could finish his words, he suddenly saw Yang Qi reaching out to touch the deceased and suddenly shouted loudly： “Don’t touch.”
Yang Qi was so scared that she retracted her hand and looked at Ye Qiu puzzled.
Ye Qiu said in a solemn voice： “The poison on their bodies is very overbearing. If I’m not mistaken, it should be the legendary Datura poison.”
”Datura poison？”
Gu Feng and Yang Qi looked at each other. It was the first time they had heard of it.
Ye Qiu said： “Datura was originally a very beautiful flower, very similar in shape to the rose. Its flowers contain toxins. After refinement, it can refine a strange poison in the world, called Datura poison.”
”When this strange poison first enters the human body, it is colorless and odorless. Only after a person dies will it emit a stench, just like them.”
Ye Qiu pointed to the corpses on the ground and continued: “Moreover, after being poisoned by Datura, at the moment of death, a hallucination will occur, and the most terrifying thing in this life will be seen. Therefore, all these deceased have their eyes wide open and expressions of horror.
”It is said that Datura has been completely extinct hundreds of years ago.”
”How could these people be poisoned by Datura？”
Ye Qiu then added： “And as far as I know, there is currently no antidote for Datura poison on the market.”
What！
Gu Feng and Yang Qi showed horror on their faces.
”These corpses were originally stored in the cold storage. Because the temperature inside is extremely low, the toxin did not emit from their bodies. Now, after being exposed to the sun, the toxin has completely erupted, so their bodies have turned black.”
Ye Qiu said, “Now every inch of their skin and every pore of their bodies is full of highly toxic.” Once you touch them, you will be poisoned by the Datura toxin. Even if Hua Tuo were alive, I’m afraid there would be nothing he could do.”
Gu Feng asked, “Then what should we do with these corpses? We can’t just leave them here.”
Ye Qiu said, “Burn them all and then find a place to dig a deep pit and bury all the ashes.”
Gu Feng said, “It seems that’s the only way.”
Yang Qi said, “Doctor Ye, I still have a doubt.”
Ye Qiu said, “Please speak.”
Yang Qi asked, “Under normal circumstances, when will the symptoms of Datura toxin appear after a person dies？”
Ye Qiu replied, “Under normal circumstances, it will not exceed four hours.”
Yang Qi asked, “But when we found these victims, they had been dead for more than twelve hours. Why didn’t any symptoms appear on their bodies at that time？”
Ye Qiu said, “I can’t answer the question you asked for the time being because I don’t know the answer either. To figure out the answer, we must go and see the scene.”
Gu Feng said, “Brother Ye Qiu, how about I take you to the scene to have a look？”
Ye Qiu said, “Okay.”
Ye Qiu readily agreed. He also wanted to see what kind of place it was where the Datura toxin would appear？
Gu Feng said, “The crime scene is about a half-hour drive from here. Let’s go there now.” Gu Feng drove and took Ye Qiu and Yang Qi straight to the crime scene.
In the car.
Ye Qiu asked, “Have you investigated the family backgrounds and social relationships of these twelve victims？”
“We’ve already comprehensively investigated it once.” Yang Qi handed a folder to Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu opened it and saw that it was all the victims’ information.
He quickly browsed through it.
He found that these twelve deceased were all ordinary residents, all living in one building. The neighborhood relationship was very good, and there were no enemies.
Ye Qiu was even more puzzled.
How could such ordinary residents be poisoned by such a strange poison as Datura？
Half an hour later.
The car stopped.
Gu Feng said, “We’re here.”
Ye Qiu got out of the car and saw a river. On the side of the river, there was a five-story residential house.
Gu Feng pointed to the residential house and said, “That’s the crime scene.”
Even if he didn’t remind, Ye Qiu could also see it, because there was a cordon outside the residential house, and there were also several uniformed policemen on duty.
“Let’s go and take a look.”
As soon as Ye Qiu came to the front of the residential house, a burst of coldness spread all over his body. Suddenly, he couldn’t help shivering and said with a frown, “Such a strong yin qi！”
