Chapter 1000: A Female Corpse
He Tian followed Li Jinxing and said, "Boss, why did you leave? Don't you want to take a closer look? I think her figure and clothes are quite similar to Gu Wanqiu's... You are not afraid to go forward and take a look, are you?"
Li Jinxing turned his head and scared He Tian. His eyes were red and his lips had lost their color due to the tension. A closer look revealed that his body was shaking.
He exhaled, his expression slightly relieved: "That's not Gu Wanqiu..."
"How can you be sure that it's not her? You didn't even look carefully. Boss, tell me the truth, are you afraid to accept it, so you don't dare to face it or recognize it? You don't dare to accept Gu Wanqiu's body and admit that she is dead?" He Tian pressed on step by step.
Li Jinxing did not back down, his tone firm: "It's not that I'm afraid to face it, I can confirm that it is definitely not Gu Wanqiu. I have been with her for so many years, I would recognize her even if she turned into ashes, so I can confirm that it is not Gu Wanqiu."
He really didn't dare to face Gu Wanqiu's death. He would rather never find her in his life than face her corpse.
He couldn't find her... At least he could still deceive himself that Gu Wanqiu was still alive, but once her body was found, what else could he use to deceive himself?
God knows, when he knew that there was a female corpse here that was most likely Gu Wanqiu, his hands and feet became weak, and he even fell when walking and could not stand up. For a moment, he seemed to have returned to the day when his mother died when he was ten years old. He felt suffocated and wrapped in despair, as if the sky was falling. He prayed countless times in his heart, praying that this corpse was not Gu Wanqiu.
Perhaps God really heard his voice. He hurried here and took a look. Without even getting closer, he could tell at a glance that it was not Gu Wanqiu. There was no need to check at all.
His recognition of Gu Wanqiu was not based solely on her face; he could tell which one was her.
…
He Tian was half-believing and half-doubting when he heard Li Jinxing's confidence. He was still suspicious in his heart, but he didn't ask Li Jinxing much.
He just couldn't believe how he could recognize someone so quickly based on intuition alone, without even getting closer to take a real look.
The real result still needs to wait for the police professionals to test it out. He Tian decided to wait for the inspection news to see if this is Gu Wanqiu.
…
As for Gong Qing, he arrived not long after Li Jinxing left, and the two of them just happened to pass by each other.
Gong Qing looked at the unrecognizable woman lying on the ground and the familiar clothes on her body. He subconsciously thought it was Gu Wanqiu, but he didn't dare to believe it.
Gong Qing's understanding of Gu Wanqiu is far inferior to Li Jinxing's. Judging from the time they have spent together, he is far behind Li Jinxing. Moreover, it has been a year since Gu Wanqiu left him. A year may not be a long time, but a person will still have obvious changes in a year.
Gong Qing really had no way of confirming it, but looking at the clothes on the female corpse, that was the same one Gu Wanqiu was wearing before she disappeared.
His body swayed and he almost fell off the wheelchair, but fortunately his subordinates behind him supported him in time.
"Boss Gong, are you okay?"
Gong Qing grabbed his subordinate's wrist tightly and said through gritted teeth in pain, "It's okay, push me over, I want to take a closer look."
The female corpse floated in the sea for a long time. Even though the weather was no longer hot, the corpse had rotted and started to stink after so long. There were even maggots in some places, and the white bones could be seen inside.
At this level, any normal person would stay away from it. The closer they get, the stronger the stench becomes. The staff in front are all wearing protective clothing and masks. Gong Qing just arrived and had nothing, so he went straight over... The subordinate was not very willing. He felt like vomiting, and after seeing this scene, he didn't dare to drive or walk outside alone at night.
But Gong Qing is his boss, so he has to listen.
He could only push the wheelchair with difficulty, holding his breath, and pushing it forward step by step with difficulty.
The smell was too strong, a pungent smell that went straight to my head. It was impossible to hold my breath because I had been holding my breath for too long and my body was lacking oxygen. I tried hard to breathe, but as soon as my nose relaxed, I subconsciously took a deep breath. The breath was the stench of a corpse, so stinky that my eyes turned black.
The subordinate turned his head and retched, tears coming out. He retched twice and slowly recovered. His body adapted quickly.
Although the surroundings still smelled bad, at least it was bearable. The subordinate glanced at Gong Qing with tears in his eyes.
Gong Qing sat quietly in the wheelchair, unaffected at all. He had no expression on his face and stared at the corpse intently. He felt the distance was not enough, so he maneuvered the wheelchair forward himself.
He could ignore the stench around him, but how could he look directly at the rotting corpse?
The subordinates admire Gong Qing so much, no wonder he can become the boss and his superior at such a young age. Just take this kind of concentration, for example, it is something that most people cannot achieve.
At this time, Gong Qing looked at the female corpse quietly. It was not that he could not smell the stench, but in order to determine that the corpse was not Gu Wanqiu, he had to endure it no matter how uncomfortable it was.
The degree of decay of the female corpse was beyond imagination. Gong Qing didn't dare to look at it at first. He closed his eyes, and all kinds of terrible images flashed through his mind. Then he tried hard to think about the good things in the past. The two images collided and merged. After a while, he opened his eyes again and had the courage to face the corpse.
There wasn't a single piece of good flesh on the body, and he had no way of judging anything from the rotten, maggot-infested corpse.
Even if you look closely and try to turn it over with your hands, there is nothing you can do.
Gong Qing sighed, his body still shaking and weak.
He nodded to the staff next to him as a thank you, and then asked his subordinates to push him away from this place.
After receiving the order to "leave", the subordinate hurried forward to push the wheelchair, quickening his pace and almost running away from the place.
I don’t know how far the subordinate pushed the wheelchair before he slowly stopped and gasped for breath.
It was so uncomfortable that he even found it difficult to breathe. He didn't expect Gong Qing to dare to get closer to take a look. Wasn't he afraid of having nightmares at night after seeing the female corpse?
Gong Qing said indifferently, "You're pushing me so fast, is there a ghost chasing you?!"
Isn't there a "ghost"? The subordinate didn't dare to say it out loud, and bowed and apologized, saying sorry to Gong Qing.
He was afraid that he would not be able to sleep well tonight. His subordinates couldn't help but shudder whenever they thought of the scene just now.
"Boss Gong, is that the corpse you were looking for?"
Gong Qing remained silent, his frown never relaxing. He was not sure, but he hoped that it was not Gu Wanqiu.
Gu Wanqiu has always loved beauty and is delicate. Even if she dies, she wants to die beautifully. She shouldn't be rotten, broken, and eaten by maggots. She is afraid of and disgusted by creatures like insects.
