C840 Dead Without Rigor



C840 Dead Without Rigor

Human, at the shore of North Sea, at the port of Xiang Yang.    

    

This was a very bustling port in China, located in the northernmost small town.    

    

In Xiang Yang Port, Spring, Summer, and Autumn Season, it was very cold and cheerless here. Not to mention the outsiders, even the locals could only see a few, so it would not be excessive to describe the Spring, Summer, and Autumn seasons here.    

    

Because of the spring, summer and autumn, the Xiang Yang Port simply could not be used as a place to stay. The wind was too strong, and during the day, the sea breeze blew strongly, causing the entire three seasons to not stop for a few days, while at night, the cold wind blew desperately down from the snowy mountain peak of the War Dragon Mountain Range, causing the people to wail and howl like ghosts and wolves. It was possible that when they had just fallen asleep, they would still be sleeping in the house.    

    

Coupled with the fact that there were many wild beasts and even demonic beasts attacking the port for no reason, the entire port was quiet in spring, summer, and autumn. There were almost no signs of human life.    

    

But in winter, Xiang Yang Port is heaven.    

    

The wind from the sea was very warm, so the entire harbor was very comfortable. The wild beasts on the mountain seemed to have also gone to hibernate, no longer disturbing the harbor, and most importantly, in the winter, there were a lot of fish under the river of ice. A single net could pull up to a thousand or even more than ten thousand pounds.    

    

After a busy winter, the residents here would be able to earn enough money to spend for a year and go to the outside world to enjoy themselves.    

    

It was also very simple to build a house. It was made from ice and could be built with a few floors in one night. With a few decorations, it would become the tourist sacred ground that countless people yearned for.    

    

The winter had come earlier than usual.    

    

Therefore, many of the inhabitants of Xiang Yang Port who were living in the outside world had yet to return. The first to return were also the twenty odd families.    

    

When Xiang Yang Port was at its peak, there were nearly a hundred thousand people living here.    

    

In the morning, every household would be making ice sculptures on their own foundations to build houses, which was something for the adults to do, while the Kid s were playing in the snow, which no one bothered to look after. Even if these people went to the ice river in the port, the adults would not worry, because these Kid's first ability from primary school to now was to swim, and their second was to hunt and shoot!    

    

Yes, guns are legal here.    

    

Because there were too many wild beasts and demon beasts in the Dragon Mountain Range, although they would rarely come down during the winter, there would always be some restless wild beasts that would come to the port to look for food. Therefore, the local government gave out guns to every family in the port, and of course, these guns had to be registered and only used in the Xiang Yang Port.    

    

There were four eleven year old Kid s, some male, and some female. They were chasing each other across the frozen river, playing and chasing each other.    

    

Suddenly, a girl in her teens exclaimed!    

    

"Mei Xiu, what's wrong?"    

    

The other little friends all ran towards the little girl.    

    

Immediately afterwards, everyone was greatly shocked.    

    

The ice river in the harbor was usually around two meters thick and as hard as iron. Normally, no one needed to walk on it. But at this moment, as the four children stared wide-eyed, one of the glaciers had cracked open like a spider. The other parts of the glacier were all white, with no water or fish to be seen, and only by drilling a hole with a drill would one be able to fish.    

    

However, at this moment, not only were the ice rivers split into two, but the ice was completely transparent. A naked person floated beneath the ice, and his entire body was shining with blood. Countless fish gathered around this person's body, greedily sucking away, and the reason why this person was not washed away by the sea water was because his white arms were frozen within the ice, like a prisoner of death, allowing the fish to bite them …    

    

"This is a dead man!"    

    

A boy exclaimed, his pants getting wet. He was scared.    

    

However, the little girl who discovered this person, who was also Mei Xiu, retorted seriously, "He didn't die. I saw him open her eyes just now."    

    

A boy harrumphed, "Look at him not moving at all. He's definitely dead!"    

    

Mei Xiu retorted, "I said it before, he's not dead yet!"    

    

Another girl said, "I heard from my grandfather that after those bastards die, they would be thrown into an ice river to be fed to fish. This person is definitely a bad person!"    

    

Another boy retorted, "No, he's a water monster!"    

    

Mei Xiu snorted: "He's not a water demon. I'll go tell my father.    

    

His companion then jeered: "Hahaha, Mei Xiu, you finally admitted to being dead. It's useless to save him, why not let him feed the fish?"    

    

The Kid's thoughts were all very simple. If they thought this was a dead person, then they would be afraid, but if they thought this person did not die, then they would only think of how to save him. Fortunately, these Kid s were born and bred in the Xiang Yang Port, and were born bold, so after they ran away, they did not forget their important matters and called the adults over.    

    

Very soon, the news of the murder on the ice river spread throughout the entire Xin Village.    

    

Xin Village was the one closest to the North Sea in the four villages of the Xiang Yang Port, and Mei Xiu's grandfather was the Old Village Head of Xin Village.    

    

Very quickly, the 10 odd men from Xin Village arrived, along with the Old Village Head.    

    

It took seven or eight men more than an hour to fish out the people at the bottom of the river. It was a man.    

    

As for how old that man was, because his entire body was sparkling with blood, it was impossible to find a piece of skin that was completely undamaged and completely unrecognizable. So, it was impossible to tell how old that man was with a glance. Strangely, this young man's body was ice-cold. He had neither breathing nor a heartbeat. However, he held a steel pole in his hand. No matter what he did, he could not pull off his arm. It was as if the steel pole was naturally grown on this man.    

    

Old Village Head touched the man's blood, placed it into his mouth and licked it, then said: "He's not dead."    

    

Xin Hu shouted, "Dad, tell me, he's not dead yet. Look at his heart rate, he's not even breathing. Furthermore, it's as if his entire body was skinned. How could he not be dead?"    

    

Old Village Head stroked his beard and said, "Your strength is not weak either. You could kill a pig with a single punch, but why didn't you grab the rod in his hand earlier?"    

    

Xin Hu was stunned. His face reddened as he said, "It's not that you taught me since I was young, it's not that we don't need to take things. If you like this stick, even if I chop his hand into pieces, I'll still take this stick …" With that, he took out a small axe from his waist and was about to chop it off.    

    

Old Village Head said angrily: "I really don't know if your mother's brain was clamped down on when she was giving birth to you. How could she be so stupid?"    

    

Xin Hu snorted and said, "No matter how stupid he is, he's still your son."    

    

One of the villagers laughed, "Xin Hu, that's not necessarily true. I heard from my father that when your mother was young, she was a flower of my Xiang Yang Port. Who knows how many men have their eyes on her!"    

    

Xin Hu viciously kicked the man and scolded, "Gou Zi, scram to the side. Do you believe that I won't kill you with an axe!?"    

    

The villagers of Xin Village carried this man, who had completely changed his face, back to the only great banyan tree in the village.    

    

This great banyan tree was definitely the strongest thing in Xin Village. No matter how fierce the wind was during spring, summer, and autumn, the other houses were all blown to the ground. However, this banyan tree had never been destroyed by the wind. Gradually, under the Banyan tree, there was a simple and crude temple of earth. It was a cage made from the roots of a great banyan tree. Inside the cage, there was a wooden statue of the earth eunuch.    

    

Old Village Head said that the man wasn't dead, while the other villagers said that the man was dead. In order to avoid trouble, leaving him under the great banyan tree was the most suitable choice.    

    

If this man opened his eyes within three days, then they would have to save him. Otherwise, when the time came, they would go to the cemetery at the village entrance and dig a hole to buy him. There were a lot of outsiders buried there, but no one claimed the corpse for themselves.    

    

"Mei Xiu, why did you bring us here?"    

    

Although Mei Xiu was wearing a thick cotton garment and had a nose like a caterpillar, those big eyes of her and that oval face of her made him look like a beauty. Mei Xiu sniffed her nose and said: "I'm standing guard here, wanting to see when he'll wake up. I'm really not lying to you guys, he really opened her eyes and looked at me and even seemed to smile at me."    

    

Another boy laughed heartily, "Mei Xiu, are you stupid? He hasn't even eaten, how could she have woken up?"    

    

Mei Xiu retreated as soon as she heard her.    

    

Someone from behind shouted, "Mei Xiu, you went back and wait for us."    

    

In the afternoon, the police arrived.    

    

There weren't any police stations in the Port of Xiang Yang, so these police officers were pulled over from nearby.    

    

Because in the entire Xiang Yang Port, there were three seasons of the year without a person, there would naturally not be a permanent government agency. As long as these policemen stayed here for the winter, they would be able to return to their old town. In reality, very few police officers were willing to come to Xiang Yang Port to work, because guns were legal here, their management was very chaotic, and if anything happened to them, these police officers would be in trouble.    

    

"He's not dead!"    

    

This was the first sentence that Liang Wencheng saw from the glittering man.    

    

As for why he had such a first judgment, Liang Wencheng could only say that it was the result of many years of experience as a police officer.    

    

One of the officers said, "Old Village Head said that he is not dead yet, but his soul has not come back yet."    

    

Liang Wencheng mocked, "A person with a soul might not necessarily be a living person."    

    

A medical examiner squatted down to check the man's body and said, "He has no breath and no heartbeat, but his blood is not cold. It's so strange, and his injuries seem to have been skinned, but I don't think so. He seems to have suffered some kind of huge shock. Not only is his body incomplete, but his internal organs are also injured, and his bones and internal organs have moved."    

    

Liang Wencheng said, "What you're saying is that from a forensic point of view, he's already dead?"    

    

Xiao Li shook his head: "I don't know, logically speaking, without a heartbeat and without a breath, this person should have been declared dead, his body should have lost its vitality, his blood would have cooled down within two hours, not to mention it is in the -10 degrees' Celsius winter here, and he still fished it out from the ice river. Don't say that his blood couldn't have been hot, it would have been a miracle if he had not bled himself to death!"    

    

Liang Wencheng nodded and said, "Carry him to the car and do our best to rescue him. This is our responsibility."
