I just moved a little bit, and the Samoyed on the ground suddenly raised its head, grinned and barked wildly. The pieces of meat that it had not swallowed yet showed a trace of bright red between its teeth, and its eyes were full of ferocity, as if the moment it ate the human flesh, it had turned from a docile Samoyed into a ferocious wolf that loved to eat human flesh.
The moment our eyes met, the Samoyed, which was originally on all fours, suddenly stood up, tilted its head and rushed towards my throat. The Samoyed raised its sharp beak to kill me, but its action exposed its throat to me.
I put my left arm against Samo's throat, took a step forward, and pressed Samo against the elevator door. Samo just let out a whimper when I pulled the knife from my leg with my right hand and stabbed it straight into Samo's stomach.
The tip of the knife penetrated Samoyed's belly and stabbed into the elevator door, but I couldn't help but be shocked - it was not a real dog.
No matter how strong I am, I can't pierce the dog's stomach and then stick my hand into it. But my palm penetrated into the dog's body without any hindrance, and even stabbed the tip of the knife into the elevator door...
Ghost materialized? The moment a heart-pounding horror suddenly struck me, the Satsuma that I had pressed against the door with my hand suddenly exploded into flowing phosphorescent fire. My right shoulder, which was holding the dagger, suddenly sank, and the female ghost standing next to the elevator had already put her hand on my shoulder.
When I glanced at the elevator button panel out of the corner of my eye, I saw a bloody face. Half of the face seemed to have been torn off by something, with white bones everywhere and half of the neck missing... The ghost was covered in blood from head to toe, with glaring scarlet everywhere.
What I didn’t expect was that the woman put her arm around my shoulder and said quietly, “Are you here to look for me? I heard Lao Heng calling me from downstairs, so I came to open the door for him. He never brings his key… But I can’t get out of this elevator… Kill me…”
Although the female ghost spoke incoherently, I could understand that she was waiting for Hengfei to come and find her, or in other words, waiting for Hengfei to come and free her.
Just as I was about to speak, the elevator door suddenly opened from the outside, and Monk Shi suddenly appeared outside the elevator. Before I could say hello, he rang a soul-calming bell into my ear.
"Stop..." I wanted to shout "Stop", but before I could even say "Stop", the soul-soothing bell flew past my ear. A sharp ghost cry suddenly came from behind me. When I looked back, Monk Shi's soul-soothing bell had already fallen to the ground along with the scattered phosphorescent flames of the ghost.
"Old Wu, are you okay?" Shi Heshang said quickly, "When I first came up, I saw a negative energy in the elevator..."
"Go to the room!" I didn't bother to discuss anything with Monk Shi anymore. I turned around and looked at the room number: "608 is here. Pry the door open and go in..."
Monk Shi originally wanted to pry the door open, but as soon as he touched the lock, the door of the house opened automatically, and a strong smell of blood gushed out. Before I entered the door, I saw a corpse lying next to the entrance. The dead body was exactly the same as the female ghost I saw in the elevator. The only difference was that next to her was a Samoyed with its abdomen torn open.
I was about to go into the house to see what was going on when I suddenly heard a burst of crazy barking from all over the building. At that moment, at least five or six dogs were barking at the same time, especially the dog in the opposite house, who was barking so hard that he almost changed his tone and banged his body against the door while barking.
The dog only knocked a few times before the owner across the street opened the door and saw the bloody body in room 608. He was so scared that he sat on the ground. His husky barked and rushed out of the house, ran into room 608 close to my legs, and ran straight into the dressing mirror facing the door.
I only heard a loud "bang" and then the Husky's neck was broken on the spot, and it lay silent among the glass on the ground.
The frightened owner screamed and climbed up, wanting to rush over to check on his beloved dog, but as soon as he stepped out of the door, he crawled back into the house and slammed the door shut.
I knew without asking that the man had called the police. But what else could I do except stand here and wait for the police to come? There were surveillance cameras on every floor of the high-end residential area. Even if I left immediately, the police would come to my door. It would be better to wait for the police to come and avoid some trouble.
I had just lit a cigarette when I suddenly heard a scream from the house opposite: "Help! A wolf is eating a man..."
My face suddenly changed, and I pulled out the Rakshasa from behind and was about to attack, but Monk Shi pulled me back: "There's a surveillance camera overhead!"
Most of the surveillance cameras nowadays can only record images but no sound. The surveillance camera must have recorded the owner fleeing in panic. If I break into the house now, it would be fine if the owner is still alive. But if he is dead, I won’t be able to explain anything.
I hesitated for just a moment, and the wild beast's crazy roar and the sound of human bodies being torn apart came out from the house at the same time.
"Saving people is the most important thing!" When I pushed Monk Shi open, blood was already flowing out of the crack of the door opposite. The owner's screams also stopped abruptly, and a "click" sound came from behind the door - a wolf was eating human flesh behind the door!
As the noise of wolves tearing apart chunks of meat and chewing human flesh came from the house, there was also a sound like five fingers grabbing at the back of the door.
That man is not dead, he is still scratching the door for help
No, that person must be dead! Wolves will not start eating before their prey has died. Besides, wild wolves eat by opening the stomach of their prey first, starting with the internal organs that are easy to chew, and then the muscles and bones that are difficult to tear.
Even if the owner lay on the ground when he was dying, he would still be turned over and bitten by the wolf. Even if a person lying on his back could scratch the door with his hands turned over, it would not be possible to make such a loud noise. The one scratching the door for help was not a person, but a ghost!
When I thought of this, I simply took a few steps back and stood motionless at the door of 608. I didn't move until the police came.
The police quickly cordoned off the scene, and when they opened the door, I took a look inside the house. The owner was dead at his doorstep, just as I had expected.
The forensic doctor moved the body. The corpse's eyes, which had been tightly closed, suddenly opened wide. The dilated pupils turned half a circle in the eye sockets, and then suddenly tightened after staring at my face. It was as if the corpse was trying hard to remember me.
The medical examiner couldn't help but gasp, turned around and pointed at me and said, "Take this man back to the bureau. Don't let him leave before I get back."
The police officer in charge of the case agreed and took me to the police car. In fact, what we did in the community can be seen clearly by checking the surveillance. Although the police suspected our purpose, they had no evidence to prove that the four of us had a direct relationship with the two murders.
If it weren't for the forensic doctor's explanation, the criminal police team would have released me long ago.
I sat in the criminal police team until almost dawn, when the forensic doctor came over. As soon as he entered the room, he made a gesture to me, as if a sorcerer were greeting a fellow practitioner: "Coroner, Hou Qingyun. You can call me Lao Hou."
I have said before that there are sorcerers in the government, but they hide in relatively unconventional professions, and forensic medicine is one of them. Lao Hou called himself a coroner instead of a forensic doctor, just to show me his identity in the art.
"Mr. Dongbei, Wu Zhao." I responded calmly, "I don't know what my friend meant by keeping me here?"
"It's you!" Old Hou nodded and said, "I've heard of Mr. Wu's name a long time ago. I've rashly kept you here this time because I want you to help us solve a few cases."
"Have you heard of me?" I quickly responded, "What is your relationship with Du Zhengming from Sanxi City?"
Lao Hou said he had heard of me, and my first reaction was that his news came from Lao Du.
Old Hou said bluntly: "I don't know Du Zhengming, but his immediate superior, Wang Xin, is my student. Originally, after Du Zhengming's case, I wanted to ask you to help, but unfortunately I was delayed for a few days by work, so I missed the opportunity."
I remember that Director Wang once made a phone call outside Wenxin's villa, and it was because of that phone call that he changed his mind. The teacher he mentioned is the old Hou in front of me
Lao Hou continued, "There have been several suspicious cases in Linyang City in recent years. According to my judgment, they are all related to ghosts. Although I was born as a coroner and can perform autopsies, I can't catch ghosts. Over the years, I have been worried about those cases and have been looking for the right person to handle them."
"I have learned in detail about the two cases that Mr. Wu handled, and he handled them very well, so I would like to hire Mr. Wu as a consultant to help us handle the cases..."
I waved my hand before he could finish his words and said, "I am just a small sorcerer who makes a living. The imperial rations are too fine for me to eat. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
After the last incident with Lao Du, I really don’t want to cooperate with people in the government anymore.
It's not that I have any prejudice against people in the government, but I have seen something clearly from Lao Du: people in the government can be on friendly terms with people in the underworld because of their duties, but they are destined to be unable to be loyal to each other.
Lao Du and I had been through life and death together, but in the end, he was actually thinking about how to catch me. On the surface, I didn't care about this matter, but in fact, there was a knot in my heart that I couldn't untie. Before I figured it out, I really didn't want to have any dealings with people in the government anymore, even simple cooperation was not allowed.
When I stood up and looked at Lao Hou, there was no disappointment in his eyes, but a hint of smile. (To be continued)
