Chapter 1683: Dead in the Latrine
A terrified scream came from outside and the few people inside the house ran out. This time the dead body was in a simple outhouse in the inner courtyard.
In places like this rural countryside, having an outhouse in the inner courtyard was common.
One girl was vomiting with a pale face filled with fear.
Ning Shu walked over and glanced into the cesspool. She saw the corpse floating while lying on its back. Its face and head were covered in filth.
The victim’s expression was twisted and the open mouth was filled with sewage water.
Ning Shu felt her stomach churn and wanted to vomit.
Dead in the latrine.
The uncle told Ning Shu, “Tell me about the situation later.” He turned around and walked away. Lu Shanshan covered her mouth and walked away as well.
Other members of the club who rushed over saw the scene and started throwing up. Seeing one person throw up made the rest of them throw up as well.
One more person has died since they woke up, and they haven’t even had breakfast yet. There was another death already and the victim even died in such a way. Everyone threw up until there was nothing left in their stomachs.
“How did this happen?” The club president, Fan Junyang, couldn’t help but scratch his head, his eyes red.
Fan Junyang was under tremendous pressure now. He had brought all of them here. Two people were already dead and there were still more deaths to come. Was this the beginning or the end?
Two people dying in a row was disturbing and frightening for everyone.
Tense emotions swirled in everyone’s hearts. Any extra tension and it would get out of control.
Ning Shu plugged her nostrils, moved the corpse with a tree branch, and measured the depth of the latrine with the branch. It wasn’t that deep.
If you fell, you were perfectly capable of standing up without suffocating to death.
Did someone hold the victim down and drown them in the latrine? Or did they kill the victim before throwing them in?
There was no way to do an autopsy like this. It was unbearable for an average person, let alone a serious germaphobe like the uncle.
Mei Ziqing frowned. “No soul.”
Either there was no soul or the person wasn’t dead. However, they were definitely dead. Then did that mean the soul has dissipated, so quickly?
Zhang Jiasen crouched down next to Ning Shu, staring at the corpse in the latrine, and said, “I’ve always felt that this wasn’t a purely human action.”
Unnatural forces.
Ning Shu poked the corpse. What clues did this body have?
“Let’s drag it up,” Ning Shu said.
Mei Ziqing looked disgusted. “Don’t.”
Ning Shu moved the corpse towards her and viciously tugged at its clothes. Her hands instantly became covered in the sticky mess, so she was extremely disgusted.
With one big pull, she dragged the body out.
The foul-smelling feces instantly seeped into the snow.
Zhang Jiasen and Mei Ziqing immediately moved away from Ning Shu. Ning Shu wiped her hands on the snow and picked up a branch to peel off the victim’s clothes.
The dead man’s chest and arms had bite marks and deep scratches on them. His face was unrecognizable.
There was a hole in his chest where the heart should be, but the heart was missing.
Ning Shu: ！！！！！
Mei Ziqing also approached. “Is the heart missing?”
“What kind of animal can make these bites and scratches?” Ning Shu looked at the marks on the body.
“Dogs, large dogs,” Zhang Jiasen guessed.
Ning Shu frowned. For someone to be bitten like that, to have a large hole dug out, and then to have the heart taken out, how painful must it be? But they didn’t hear any screams at all.
