When Song Jiang and Meng Zhe rushed to the door of Xu Che's house, they found many stray cats lying in front of the door. As soon as they saw Song Jiang, they all got up and meowed at them, as if urging them to go in quickly...

Song Jiang didn't have time to think about it, so he immediately knocked on the door, but he knocked for a long time and there was no response. If there were not so many wild cats gathered at the door, Song Jiang really thought there was no one at home? !

And under normal circumstances, Song Jiang smashed the door so frantically, even the neighbors should come out to take a look, but Xu Che's house has never seen any movement... Meng Zhe saw that Song Jiang was a little anxious, so he dragged him aside, and then said nothing. Kicked the door open directly.

As soon as the door was opened, a dull smell mixed with rancidity rushed in. Song Jiang didn't care about the unpleasant smell, so he walked in quickly... The light in the room was extremely dim, and the curtains were all drawn, so there was no room for penetration. bright.

Meng Zhe, who followed closely behind, walked in with a frown, and his face turned blue immediately from the smell in the room. He knew that this unpleasant smell represented death, that is to say, someone died in this family. up.

Song Jiang knew that Xu Che's father had been paralyzed in bed for many years, and his mother had bad legs and feet and couldn't go out, but the house was indifferent to such a loud knock on the door just now, which only showed that the two elders might not be very good up.

Sure enough, when Song Jiang pushed open the door of Xu Che's parents' bedroom, he saw that the elder was lying motionless on the bed, while another small figure was curled up between the bedside table and the wardrobe, looking at Xu Che with a blank expression. on the ground.

Seeing this, Song Jiang hurried forward to check, and found that Xu Che's parents' faces were black and blue, and they had been dead for a long time, and the rotten smell in the room was also from the corpses of their elders...

Song Jiang glanced back at the little figure at this moment, and then softly called out his name, "Xu Che...?"

The other party was still staring at the ground motionless, indifferent to Song Jiang's shouts, until the big raccoon flower that jumped out from nowhere let out a "meow", he slowly recovered, looked up at Song Jiang and Meng Zhe.

Xu Che seemed to have expected Song Jiang and the others to come, so he grinned and said, "You are here... They are dead, and I don't know what to do. I can only sit here and wait for you to come."

"Are you just waiting? What if we don't come?! Didn't I give you your mobile phone number? Why didn't you call me?!" Song Jiang asked a little reproachfully.

After hearing this, Xu Che's smile froze on his face, and he explained in a panic, "I washed the paper with the mobile phone number on it...the two of them died for some reason, and I obviously just went out to buy it." Cai, when I came back, I found that they were not breathing. I don’t know why it happened. They shouldn’t have died so early, right? I could smell the dead air on people since I was a child. If they were really dying, I would know for sure , Why did they suddenly die?!"

Song Jiang saw that Xu Che's state was not right, so he immediately walked over and knelt down, put his hand on his shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid... we can handle the rest of the matter."

Xu Che was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid... I just don't understand. Although they are so old, they shouldn't die now?! Why?! I haven't let them know about myself You can live a good life, I didn't even say goodbye to them! Grandma Du is also like this, why is it always like this?! Why?! Is it because of me? I brought bad luck to them?!"

Seeing that Xu Che became more and more excited, Song Jiang quickly hugged him and said, "Xu Che! Calm down... Even if you failed to say goodbye to them, their souls have not gone far. Don't you want them to feel at ease?" ? Then you have to learn to be strong, understand?"

Xu Che smiled wryly after hearing this, "I have never cried since I was born, isn't that considered strong?"

Song Jiang said patiently as soon as he heard it, "It's not that you are strong, it's just a small defect of yours. Have you calmed down now? If there is no problem, I will check on your parents first."

After hearing this, Xu Che looked up at the two corpses on the bed and said, "I feel that their deaths are not normal..."

At this time, Meng Zhe walked to the bed with a solemn face and said, "From the surface of the corpse, there should be no wounds, and I can't feel any pain that the deceased suffered before death. The possibility of natural death cannot be ruled out..."

After hearing this, Song Jiang retorted, "Did the old couple die naturally together?!"

"What's impossible? It's not that old couples who don't have a good relationship die one after another... Sometimes when one of them is gone, the will of the other will collapse instantly. If people don't have the slightest desire to live Motivation may die naturally." Meng Zhe said in a deep voice.

Song Jiang looked helplessly at the corpse on the bed, then turned around and opened all the curtains in the room, and then opened the windows one by one, the fresh air from outside flooded in instantly, and the room was finally not as breathless as before. ...

Then he took out his mobile phone and called Wu Lei, "Are you busy now?"

"Just got off work...what? Want to treat me to dinner?" Wu Lei said with a smile.

Song Jiang was not in the mood to chat with him, and said in a heavy tone, "I'll send you a location now, and you'll come over right away..."

Wu Lei knew something must have happened as soon as he heard it, so he quickly asked, "What happened?"

"Do you still remember the little boy who broke into the police station alone? His parents are dead. I want you to come over and take a look at the body first..." Song Jiang said in a deep voice.

After hearing this, Wu Lei didn't say a word, and drove over directly. When he saw the corpse of the old couple, he was slightly taken aback, and then immediately put on rubber gloves to conduct a preliminary inspection of the corpse...

After finishing the work, Wu Lei raised his head and said, "The two deceased probably died for about three days. The room temperature in the house is generally relatively high in this season, so it speeds up the decay of the corpse. On the surface, I prefer He died of natural causes... But specifically, do we need to go back and do a detailed autopsy to rule out any signs of poisoning?"

When Song Jiang heard that the old couple had been dead for three days, he quickly looked at Xu Che and said, "Have you not eaten for the past few days?!"

After hearing this, Xu Che raised his head blankly and said, "Oh... I forgot."

"Can you forget to eat?!" Song Jiang said with a face of disbelief.

Xu Che shrugged and said, "Well, I just forgot."

Song Jiang didn't know what to say for a while, so he turned his head to look at Meng Zhe and said, "Take him downstairs to have something to eat first, don't worry about the second elder's funeral, their precious son Just starved to death."
