When passing by the mirror, Su Mingan felt himself in the mirror flash, revealing white hair, but when he looked in the mirror, his hair was still jet black.
"..."Su Mingan looked at his normal san value, which had not changed for a long time.
Back at the table, grandma brought a bowl of boiled shrimps: "Son, eat shrimps! Your favorite shrimps!"
Under his grandmother's eager gaze, Su Mingan peeled the shrimp, ate one, and nodded: "It's delicious."
"You like eating shrimp the most. You are usually busy with work, and you can only be happy when you eat shrimp." The old lady muttered while helping Su Mingan peel shrimps, her voice nagging:
"The shrimp sellers also got the black fog disease. When I went to buy shrimp, they were still staring at the TV, wondering when a special medicine would be available."
"Son, don't worry too much. Now there is a brave child like the First Dream Patrol family who has stood up. Whether it's your wife's matter or your granddaughter, everything will be fine. You are home, home..."
"You like painting. I've been picking up trash these days and found some painting supplies. Let's paint together later..."
The old lady looked at Su Mingan's unfamiliar face, and a moment of confusion flashed across her eyes, as if she was wondering whether this was her son. But she soon smiled:
"Everything will be fine, haha, the family will be fine..."
“Bang!”
There was a knock on the door.
Wang Mingming went to open the door, and it was the city’s law enforcement team.
"Grandma Lin, are you there?" The official knocked on the door. He wore a round hat, had a long beard, and a square face. "We have checked the surveillance video. Your son came back three days ago. He went into your house. He is not missing at all."
The old lady sobered up a little and realized that Su Mingan was not her son: "No, my son is not back."
...If her son returned home three days ago, then what about him?
The official sighed, his eyes filled with reluctance: "We are here to present you with the Citizen's Badge of Honor. Congratulations, Grandma Lin."
The old lady looked confused. She didn't know what she had done to deserve the medal: "What? What are you talking about? My son hasn't come back."
Su Mingan's heart trembled slightly.
"Su Xiaobai..." Shang Qi's nose moved. Born into a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, he had a keen sense of smell and could vaguely smell a strange smell: "There is a strange smell, come with me..."
Su Mingan followed Shang Qi into the back room, where a foul smell wafted out.
At the door, an official brought out a golden medal of honor, which was set against black velvet and shone brightly under the light. Only citizens who have made outstanding contributions can be awarded such a medal.
"It's a medal," the officer said.
"Oh, I understand. My son went to receive the vaccine from the Ark Project. He must have made a contribution. You are awarding him a medal, right?" The old lady suddenly realized and clapped her hands with a smile: "I knew my son would do well. He is the most obedient and will not fail to come home..."
She wiped her eyes and looked at the family portrait on the wall: "My son is the best. He has been an excellent student since he was young. Did he come back with you? Let me see him soon."
Inside the room, Shang Qi approached a wooden cabinet, which was a large wardrobe, and the foul smell was coming from inside.
He reached out his hand, touched the handle of the wardrobe, and looked at Su Mingan.
“Grandma Lin, um…” At the door, the official lowered his hat, a look of guilt and regret on his face: “This medal of honor is for you.”
"Me? What contribution have I made? I'm just an old lady!" The old lady grinned and shouted, "Where is my son? Did you hide my son? Don't you know my son? He has a round face, flat eyes, and a mole on the right corner of his mouth. He doesn't talk much. Except when he goes out to work, he is very honest. Where did he go?"
People were silent, and the guard quietly put the medal of honor on the old lady's large flowered jacket, making a tiny metallic sound.
"Click." Shang Qi opened the cabinet door.
As the cabinet door opened, a body leaning against the cabinet door fell out.
The body fell to the ground with a dull sound.
Shang Qi took a step back, looked at the corpse on the ground, and fell silent.
Su Mingan put on gloves and turned the body over, revealing the face.
He was wearing a dusty work shirt, his trousers were splattered with mud and his shoes were torn, which showed that he worked very hard. Su Mingan looked at his face, which was a middle-aged man's face.
He has a round face, flat eyes and a mole at the right corner of his mouth.
The spots of black fog disease are all over the body, and black tentacles are drooping around the body.
——This is a corpse in the late stage of Black Mist Disease, and it has already shown signs of alienation. If he hadn't died, he would have turned into a monster, and most of the residents would have been slaughtered.
But he was dead, with a long knife wound on his chest, probably caused by a kitchen knife. The knife did not hit the fatal point, and the man must have died of excessive bleeding after being stabbed. He did not fight back or struggle during the whole process.
"It's obvious that he was on the verge of alienation, but he was stabbed by someone." Shang Qi checked the body and said in surprise: "He didn't fight back before he died... There was only his own blood at the scene. It's so strange. People in the late stage of black fog disease have lost their minds, but he was able to suppress his murderous intent and lie on the ground waiting for himself to die. This, this is really..."
Shang Qi considered his words and said, "Shocking situation..."
Su Mingan looked at the despair on the corpse's face, and in this despair, Su Mingan actually saw a hint of satisfaction.
