I stood outside of my lab door with Mister Hong next to me who was already wearing an industrial mask. I looked down to what he was handing me and it was another industrial mask. He lifted up higher waiting for me to take it. I eyed the industrial mask suspiciously before taking it.
Whatever is in there must stink badly. It must be a decomposing body
"Okay I'm ready" I said.
"Brace yourself" Mister Hong said before opening the lab door and I stepped into the lab to be greeted with a round brown almost black blob on the metal table. At first I was confused if on what it was until I stepped closer
"Is this a mummified body?" I asked as it hit me.
There lay a dark brown mummified body in a foetal position, where the back is curved, the head is bowed, and the limbs are bent and drawn up to the torso. it was covered in a slimy yellow greenish substance. I knew from the first glance that this was a woman because she had batches of long hair that was still intact to her head and she had a small body frame.
There was fabric covering parts of her body, which is probably her clothing. She was literally just skin and bones. What interested me the most is the small white dots spread all over the body, it seemed like some sort of plastic piece that has been shredded into small pieces.
The sight of her like this made my blood run cold. The main question that ran through my head is...
Who is she? And how did she end up like this?
"Where did you find her?" I asked Mister Hong
"We got a call from a owner of a house he was moving out and he placed all the trash outside for the trash company to pick up, when he came outside the company took everything except a barrel" Mister Hong said and he pointed at a fifty five gallon barrel drum that was placed a bit further away from the metal table
"The trash company left a note saying the barrel is to heavy to be picked up. The owner didn't know what was inside since it was in a crawl space since he moved in nine years ago. When he opened the barral, he claimed a very bad smell came out of it and saw what appeared to him as a hand and a shoe. That's when he decided to call the police." Mister Hong said
"And let me tell you. The smell when we arrived. I felt it in my brain, one sniff and it's like I lost hundreds of brain cells," Mister Hong said. That explains the industrial mask "Lucky you, we already did a bit of the work. We took the barrell to the police station. Other than the corpse, we found a ladies high heels shoes, pocket book, make up kit, an address book, a wallet with a business card, which had already been sent to the forensic document examiner. We found a cardigan and a faux leopard skin coat"
"I see" I said examining the mummified body
"Well, I will take my leave. If I found anything new I will let you know" Mister Hong said with that he left
