Chapter 548: Chapter 270: Heart-Stunning Terror
Luo Fei heard what Li Jun said and also stepped forward, but as soon as he got next to it, his gaze froze instantly.
Wax figures! These are definitely wax figures!
But they’re absolutely not wax figures!
For a moment, he was stunned, unable to perceive his own change, his pupils enlarged, and his breath started to become rapid.
Because these so-called "wax figures" in his eyes were living people!
These are living people!
No, they are wax figures, but why is there a smell of corpses inside, a faint corpse odor mixed with a strong formaldehyde scent, indicating they’ve been treated.
Yet, even so, they still look like wax figures, without any blood...
Luo Fei crouched down, feeling a chill all over his body.
The body emitted a strong metallic rust smell, likely due to a layer of corpse oil settling in certain areas, and there was visible dampness on the surface, not completely evaporated.
It’s terrifying!
Though the exterior had been sculpted with precision, it still couldn’t hide the smell within.
"Old Li, clear the area around us."
"What?"
Li Jun was a bit puzzled upon hearing this. Didn’t the accident involve two wax figures? It seemed more pertinent to check on the driver, who was in a state of shock, breathing heavily by the roadside.
Several traffic police officers were comforting and taking care of him, finally helping him to regain his senses.
The driver’s name was Old Nao, who delivered goods along this route every day. Today, he went out alone and had a traffic accident at the intersection.
According to what he just said, he suddenly saw these two figures shooting out from the alley, which caused him to crash into them.
The tires slipped in a hurry, and the vehicle crashed into the roadside.
"Tell all the passersby to move away!"
Luo Fei barked again, and Li Jun, seeing his stern demeanor, understood the gravity of the situation, and immediately asked the nearby traffic police to disperse the traffic and control the surrounding spectators.
When detectives handle a case, it is certainly serious, so people cooperated, yet even from a distance, they took out their phones to photograph.
The scene was quite absurd; if it weren’t for the police officers and the barricades, they might have already come even closer.
Then Luo Fei approached one of the wax figures, and Li Jun, seeing his peculiar actions, felt worried.
Judging by the looks, was he going to destroy the scene?
However, upon careful thought, they were just wax figures, not living humans, so even a little handling wouldn’t matter.
In other words, he was collecting evidence on-site.
In the next moment, Luo Fei forcefully pushed down with his bare hand, his fingertips pierced straight into the chest of the wax figure like a blade.
Following a cracking sound, everyone around heard the paint layer on the wax figure’s surface breaking.
The surrounding traffic police focused their curious gaze, and Li Jun was utterly astounded.
What kind of operation was this?
The next moment, everyone who could witness this scene was almost scared out of their wits.
Luo Fei pulled out a vertebra from the middle torso, showing some porous and corroded remains.
Yet it was unmistakably a standard human spinal bone!
Li Jun immediately sat down on the ground, his fingers trembling, pointing at the thing in Luo Fei’s hand.
It wasn’t the metal rods and joints found inside the body as people knew them, but real human bones; the shape and color were not like any models. After all, he was an old hand at seeing scenes of criminal cases.
"Holy... shit."
A traffic police officer not far away was so shocked he knelt down; although he had never seen human bones, he could discern true from false.
The driver, Old Nao, wobbled over and knelt down with a thump.
"What’s... what’s going on here, is... is this a living person?"
His entire body trembled with lingering fear, and he couldn’t suppress his inner dread, fainting on the spot.
The living human bones extracted from the body, combined with the wax figure’s smiling expression, mixed life and death into an inexplicable fear, resembling a dead object coming to life, mysterious and eerie.
Traffic police officers gathered around, ensuring the scene wasn’t visible to the spectators behind, otherwise, it would be a major problem.
"Now you understand why they can’t see this, right? Once discovered, it will definitely cause an uproar."
Luo Fei looked calmly at Li Jun.
"Take these two wax figures back, be careful, don’t break them. Have the forensic and lab personnel on standby at the station; we are heading back now."
"Okay."
Li Jun took a deep breath, the scene was truly astonishing.
Only just now did he realize Luo Fei’s real intention behind dispersing the crowd; it was so meticulous.
Those standing far away, unable to see the full picture, kept chatting.
"What’s wrong with these cops, they’re treating two wax figures as if they’re treasures, taking them away, so weird."
"You don’t understand, it’s called evidence protection, regardless of what, an accident happened."
"Well, fortunately, they’re wax figures; if they were living people, they’d be shattered into pieces."
Walking past the crowd, Li Jun couldn’t help but show a hint of helplessness on his face; someone always has to bear the burden upfront. If they saw the truth with their own eyes and pondered it, they’d have lifelong shadows.
Zhang Wei, who was taking photos at the wax museum, suddenly received a call from the group leader.
"Everyone, assemble?"
