A headless male corpse fell out from the backrest of the bed.
Upon closer inspection, the right hand was disabled and three-quarters of the palm was amputated.
"Missing the palm of your right hand?"
"This headless corpse has exactly the same characteristics as Zhang Jiu's disabled hand. This headless male corpse has been dead for several days and is starting to stink. Could it be the Zhang Jiu we are looking for?"
After being surprised at the beginning, the old magic stick came up to look at the corpse out of curiosity.
The job of the old god stick is to deal with all kinds of dead bodies.
The corpses of people who died suddenly are the most terrifying, and they also have the most different forms of death. What kind of corpses does the old godstick have never seen before? According to what the old godstick is bragging to Fangzheng at the moment, when he travels around and competes with wandering monks and country witches for business, such as the view of giants, the view of bones, the view of corpse insects, because half of his body is soaked in The strange half-giant half-skeleton corpse in the cold mountain spring with half of its body exposed to the air... He has seen them all.
The corpse in front of him, which had only been smelly for a few days, was just a child in his eyes.
Fangzheng glanced at the old magic stick out of the corner of his eye, giving him a self-experienced hehe look.
I don't know who was surprised just now.
The old god stick was stubborn and unconvinced, and shook his body, which was more often used as a Taoist robe as a prop costume, saying that it happened suddenly, and he didn't make him mentally prepared.
"Old God, you said that if this headless male corpse is Zhang Jiu, the night shift security guard at the Jianshanling Quarry, according to the time of Zhang Jiu's disappearance and the degree of decay of the body, Zhang Jiu should have been dead for at least two or three days. Then Here comes the question, who is Zhang Jiu who has been appearing in the quarry these days?"
"Why is Zhang Jiu's corpse missing a head when it stinks at home?"
"So where did this head go?"
"Could it be that the Zhang Jiu that people in the quarry saw these days is all Zhang Jiu's head running around all day long?"
After Fangzheng said it in such a scary way, the old god stick suddenly felt cold all over, and felt more and more that there was a person lying on his back, and the cold wind was blowing non-stop on his back.
"The headless corpse is already weird enough. After you say that, how does the old man feel that it is really possible that Zhang Jiu's head is running around?"
Fangzheng: "That's right, you also think so, old magic stick."
Fangzheng had a serious expression on his face.
If it's really Zhang Jiu's head running around, whether it's a person from the quarry or Zheng Yongzhi, the new security guard on the night shift at the quarry, if the Zhang Jiu you've seen in the past few days is actually a ghost, then that Zhang Jiu How to explain it when it appeared during the day
According to the security guards on the day shift, Zheng Yongzhi's body was discovered by Zhang Jiu this morning. It was Zhang Jiu who found Zheng Yongzhi's body together when other people from the quarry came to work during the day.
Fangzheng has not encountered any ghosts that can come out during the day, except for some special little skeletons.
Like the fiercest ghosts he encountered back then, no matter whether it was the two corpse kings under the Tongjiang Bridge or the century-old female ghost in Gujing Village, none of them could come out to play tricks during the day.
"Could it be that Zhang Jiu is a ghost king stronger than the corpse king and the century-old female ghost?"
"No! If Zhang Jiu is really such a fierce ghost king, it doesn't make sense at all. Why did he stay in the quarry as a small night shift security guard, because he was obsessed with it during his lifetime, so he moved mechanically day after day? And If it's really the ghost king, there won't be other ghosts haunting the quarry, killing people every day in front of the ghost king."
"In other words, the three people killed in succession in the quarry in the past few days were all killed by Zhang Jiu? Then it doesn't make sense, the ghost king wants to kill people secretly?"
"Besides, Zhang Jiu is just an ordinary person. After being killed, he will directly become a fierce ghost that is more terrifying than a hundred-year-old ghost. It doesn't make sense logically."
Having no idea for a while, Fangzheng's head was a little swollen thinking about it.
"What if this headless male corpse is not Zhang Jiu? After all, the head is lost. The only way to check the identity information is through DNA data comparison."
"But the headless male corpse appeared in Zhang Jiu's bedroom, and the degree of decay of the corpse coincided with the time of Zhang Jiu's disappearance. With so many coincidences, I don't even believe that it wasn't Zhang Jiu's corpse. If it is really Zhang Jiu's corpse, Then who killed Zhang Jiu at home? Why cut off Zhang Jiu's head? Who is Zhang Jiu who appeared in the quarry these days? It may not be a ghost but someone is pretending to be Zhang Jiu Identity?"
If the headless corpse in front of him was really Zhang Jiu, Fangzheng felt that the person or ghost who killed Zhang Jiu should have nothing to do with the successive deaths in the quarry these days.
The other three victims all died in the quarry.
And only Zhang Jiuyi died at home outside the quarry.
This in itself is very suspicious.
"Or, Zhang Jiu's death is related to the behind-the-scenes person that Huapi Gao's family and I are investigating?" Fangzheng combined all the clues, and the only possibility that Fangzheng thought of was this clue.
Even he tracked it down to the Jianshanling quarry.
The behind-the-scenes was one step ahead of him and found the clue to Heixiazilin, so it was very possible that the behind-the-scenes tracked him to the Jianshanling quarry one step before him.
On the time axis, it happened to coincide with the time when Zhang Jiu was killed.
Fangzheng connected all the clues in front of him together. He clearly had a crucial clue in front of him, but he still felt that his eyes were always like watching flowers in a fog, shrouded in upper layers of misty clouds, but he couldn't get rid of the last layer of confusion. cloud.
Most importantly, why did Zhang Jiu die
Where did his head go? Why are there so many others, but Zhang Jiu's head is missing
Fangzheng frowned lightly, his eyes happened to see the old magic stick squatting next to the headless corpse, studying the corpse in detail, Fang Zheng said thoughtfully: "Old magic stick, when you have grabbed so many business with monks and witches, is there any Have you ever encountered anything more evil than Zitengzi? For example... like the one in front of you, the person who died violently, with an incomplete body, can run around with his head, live and work like a normal person, and no one Found the strangeness of the dead."
The old god stick continued to squat beside the corpse, thinking: "Do the dead live like ordinary people? Let me think about it."
"There is such a strange thing."
"However, this matter is not my personal experience, and the old man only saw it in an isolated book."
"This incident happened in ancient times. There was a five-year-old daughter of a rich family who died of illness. The family was heartbroken. In order to see the little daughter again, the rich family first kidnapped and trafficked five people regardless of their age, height, body, fat or thinness. A five-year-old girl with the same skin tone was killed secretly, and each took a left hand, a left foot, a right hand, a right foot, and a torso, and finally cut off the head of her little daughter with her own hands, and sewed it into a puppet. A complete corpse, a body containing six souls, using resentment to forcibly turn evil into a corpse."
Fangzheng felt a chill in his heart.
In ancient times, there was such an evil force to cast evil spells
"Then what happened afterwards?" Fangzheng asked.
