Ye Shaoyang took out a handful of copper beans, hit the corpse, and immediately screamed, a puff of white steam rose from the place where he was hit, the corpse writhed all over, howled, and turned fierce, rushing towards Ye Shaoyang Come.
Ye Shaoyang dodged it, grabbed the hair of the corpse, pushed it backwards, and fell to the ground. Before it turned over, he pressed his knees against the back of its neck, and firmly stretched his head back with his hands. He quickly took out a talisman and stuck it on its forehead, and then the little thumbnail popped out cinnabar, and quickly drew a few strokes on it.
"Heaven and earth are boundless, absorb spirit and breathe!"
As soon as he finished chanting the incantation, a gust of black air spread out from the pores of the corpse, flowed up along the skin, and was finally absorbed by the talisman.
At first, the corpse was still flailing its arms and struggling, and then it became convulsive, and finally fell to the ground, motionless.
"Finished?" Xie Yuqing leaned forward, glanced at the corpse on the ground, and asked timidly, "Is this a zombie?"
"That's right, a demon corpse, a type of zombie." Ye Shaoyang said, plucked a strand of white hair from the corpse, sniffed it under his nose, frowned, pointed to the wound on the lower body of the corpse and said: "He His two legs must have been gnawed off by some monster, and the monster energy entered his body, combined with the resentment energy in his body, and couldn't be blocked, so he became a monster corpse."
"Demon?" Xie Yuqing frowned immediately, "Where did the demon come from?"
"You ask me who to go to." Ye Shaoyang stood up and told Xie Yuqing that the corpse could be disposed of, and Xie Yuqing notified immediately. Ye Shaoyang looked around the room and asked, "Is this room always locked?"
A police officer nodded and replied, "Yes, the reporter discovered the situation through the window and reported it on the spot. After we arrived... we found this situation, so I didn't dare to open the door for a while, thanks to Mr. Ye."
Ye Shaoyang came to the door and saw a large transom on the door, like a hospital viewing window, and said: "Since the door is locked, the murderer must have come in and out from here."
Xie Yuqing was startled, and said: "Isn't there still a window, why didn't you walk through the window?"
Ye Shaoyang said lightly: "The height between the fences is not enough for one person to get out, only here."
"Human? Don't you call it a demon?" Xie Yuqing was shocked.
"That strand of white hair was transformed by the evil spirit left by the murderer, and there was a human breath left on it, so the murderer was a real demon corpse. The demon corpse just now was at most a junior version. The demon corpse that killed him, More than ten times stronger than this."
After Ye Shaoyang finished speaking, he took off a piece of dry minced meat from a nail on the transom, looked at it intently for a while, and said, "This is the murderer's meat."
Xie Yuqing came up to take a look and said, "Can I have it tested?"
"If you think the test is useful, just take it."
Xie Yuqing called a police officer, carefully took away the minced meat, and continued to ask Ye Shaoyang: "What kind of demon corpse, why did you kill people, and where did you go after killing people?"
"Murder is to eat meat. The demon corpse cultivates by eating meat and drinking blood. I don't know where it went. I said, you have relied on me from the beginning to the end of this case? Ask me everything."
Xie Yuqing said as a matter of course: "You are a celestial master, who do you count on?"
Ye Shaoyang said dissatisfied: "You know that I am a celestial master, with this attitude, you treat me like a small worker."
Xie Yuqing snorted and said: "What are you pretending to do with me, hurry up and find a way to deal with it, and when it's over, sister treats you to big meat buns."
Ye Shaoyang was speechless. "Go find some quicklime, at least two or three hundred catties."
Xie Yuqing immediately called to make arrangements, and then the two went back to the yard to wait. The police were very efficient. In less than half an hour, three bags of lime were delivered, and under Ye Shaoyang's command, they were evenly spread on the floor of the bedroom. superior.
In less than ten minutes, there was only a sizzling sound, and a part of the limestone turned black, showing pairs of footprints and handprints. Judging from the trajectory, it was indeed crawled into the house from the door, and then climbed again. go back.
The footprints are bare and widely spaced, so it can be seen at a glance that it is a person crawling on the ground with bare feet. Xie Yuqing visually measured the size of the footprints and said, "The feet are small, it must be a woman!"
Ye Shaoyang nodded, "Let's go, now that you know the clue, go investigate."
Xie Yuqing tilted her head and thought for a while, "Can we use this method to spread limestone on the road outside, so we can know where the monster escaped to?"
Ye Shaoyang shook his head and said: "The air in this room is blocked and the sunlight is not penetrating, so the evil spirit can be preserved. The evil spirit outside has long since dissipated, so there is no way to track it."
"Then...how to check, this area is an old district, there are no cameras at all, and no one has found traces of the murderer, otherwise the police would have been called."
Ye Shaoyang pondered for a while, and said: "The demon corpse came here to kill people, which means that the place where it hides must not be far from here. This area is all residential areas. It is very likely that it is hiding in a certain family's house, and it is very likely that it His family didn't even know it was a demon corpse."
Xie Yuqing's eyes widened immediately, "Can't you tell from the outside?"
"After all, the demon corpse is dominated by corpse energy. It is afraid of seeing the sun. As long as you don't go out, your family will never find it. But... the demon corpse first cultivated by eating the flesh and blood of animals. When it reached a certain point, the flesh and blood of animals was not enough. Cannibalism is needed, so you can use this to investigate."
Xie Yuqing's eyes lit up, and she said while thinking: "Beasts include chickens, ducks, pigs, etc. They can't go to the streets to buy them, so... they will definitely steal them. There are many self-built houses in this area with large yards. , many poultry farmers, I will first investigate whose poultry has been stolen, and then determine the scope... "
Ye Shaoyang nodded, admiring Xie Yuqing very much in his heart, he was worthy of being an excellent policeman, he just put forward a clue, and she immediately came up with a plan to solve the case.
After coming out of the alley, it was getting dark, Xie Yuqing suggested to find a place to eat at random, and then go back to the city, but after searching for a long time, they only found a dumpling shop. The two ordered dumplings and beer, and chatted while eating.
"The monk's injury is much better and he can get out of bed. You can visit him when you have time." Xie Yuqing said, "Also, Wang Ting has already returned to Xichuan."
Ye Shaoyang nodded, just eating dumplings and drinking beer.
Xie Yuqing looked at him and smiled softly, "I see that you are in good spirits now, much better than I imagined."
Ye Shaoyang knew what she was referring to, and replied: "I've been hunting ghosts and subduing demons for so long, I'm used to seeing life and death, and Xiaohui didn't really die."
Xie Yuqing nodded and said, "Yes, sometimes when I think about it, I'm still happy for her, because she will be able to be a human one day, but it's a pity that we will never see her again."
"Then remember it in your heart." Ye Shaoyang smiled, "It tastes good, can I have another bowl?"
A new bowl of dumplings has just arrived. Just as Ye Shaoyang grabbed one with his chopsticks, a police officer ran in from outside and said to Xie Yuqing, "We found a clue, it's an old lady."
The old lady... Ye Shaoyang and Xie Yuqing looked at each other, full of surprise.
