As a result of the investigation, no one whose poultry was stolen was found, but an astonishing clue was found:
In the alley behind Lao Wan's house, the family closest to the side is a mother and son. The son is Liu Leping, who is in his forties. He works as an accountant at work, so the neighbors call him Accountant Liu. Stupid, married before, but later divorced, his wife took her son and married to another place, and never came back. Accountant Liu lived with his old mother.
Accountant Liu’s mother, Granny Liu, is in her 70s this year. She used to be in good health and was able to dance square dances in the first two years. But according to neighbors, since last year, no one has seen Granny Liu again. The accountant also doesn't communicate with people, and very few people can enter his house.
At the beginning, everyone suspected that Mrs. Liu was dead. A few months ago, during the census of the street, some staff members entered his home and saw that Mrs. Liu was indeed still alive, but she looked very bad and did not greet anyone.
Later, a hawker in a butcher shop on the street revealed that Accountant Liu had ordered chicken blood from him, and would come to him every day after get off work to bring a catty of chicken blood and chicken home, and sometimes pig blood or cow blood, so everyone suspected that Liu The old lady has some strange disease, she needs to drink blood and eat flesh and blood every day...
When Ye Shaoyang heard this, he had a bit of judgment in his heart. Taking advantage of the pause in the policeman's speech, he asked in confusion: "We clearly asked you to check whether there is any poultry stealing. How did you find out about this news?"
The policeman smiled and said: "I went on to say that Mr. Ye knew after listening to me. Since Mrs. Liu didn't go out, the neighbor's dogs, cats and other small animals, and even chickens, as long as they entered Accountant Liu I couldn’t find it in my yard. I asked Accountant Liu and he said he didn’t see it, but within a few days, he could always find the remains of small animals in the corner of the alley or in the trash can…
The locals started talking in private, saying that Mrs. Liu had turned into a zombie, so we heard about this situation when we first started investigating. I think this situation is more important than the loss of poultry, so I rushed to tell you two. "
Ye Shaoyang nodded, and said: "This situation is indeed much more important. This old lady Liu is likely to be the person we are looking for... No, it is a demon corpse."
Xie Yuqing thought for a while and said, "What should we do now?"
"Go and confirm, but I will finish the dumplings first, so I can't waste them."
The policeman had no choice but to sit down opposite him, watched him eat dumplings, and said a little embarrassedly: "Mr. Ye, can you tell my fortune for me? My name is Qi Chen..."
Ye Shaoyang raised his head and looked at him. He was a handsome young man, and said, "You have an upturned forehead, a bright face, good facial features, a dignified appearance, and a great wealth. Don't forget about it."
"This..." Qi Chen scratched his head, "How can I be so powerful? Mr. Ye is not fooling me, is he?"
Ye Shaoyang smiled, ignored him, and quickly finished the dumplings. The three of them left the dumpling shop. It was already dark at this time. Under Qi Chen's leadership, the two came to the alley behind Lao Wan's house and walked to the end. Stopping outside the courtyard wall, Qi Chen whispered, "This is Accountant Liu's home..."
Ye Shaoyang looked up, there were few residents in this area, and the Liu family was in a corner, which made it even more lonely. However, the courtyard of the Liu family was very high, with smooth outer walls, inlaid with broken glass, and an iron door lock. Strictly speaking, he said immediately: "This courtyard is newly built, and it will not exceed half a year at the earliest. Why do you say?"
Xie Yuqing immediately said: "In order not to let people go in?"
Ye Shaoyang nodded, "Maybe it's because I'm afraid that people will come into contact with Mrs. Liu. Let's talk over there."
The three of them returned to the entrance of the alley, found a place where no one was around, and discussed a plan of action.
"Without a search warrant, people have the right to refuse to let us enter the house. Although we can find an excuse, it will be very troublesome if people report it." Xie Yuqing said, "But the point is not here, in case... Mrs. Liu is a demon corpse, Xiao Yezi, are you going to kill her?"
"Nonsense, otherwise, what should I do, let you arrest and interrogate the murder process?"
"Of course it's impossible... I don't know what will happen if I take a demon corpse back for interrogation." Xie Yuqing thought for a while, and said to Ye Shaoyang, "But the government doesn't approve of this, you understand what I mean. , if you kill Accountant Sun's old lady in front of him and they sue you, you will commit murder... "
Ye Shaoyang said: "It's simple, let's go sneak attack, and don't let accountant Liu know, but we must confirm first, if we make a mistake, we will be in trouble."
Suddenly, Qi Chen poked Ye Shaoyang's arm and pouted towards the opposite side. Everyone immediately turned their heads to see that a middle-aged man dressed in ordinary clothes was walking into the alley, holding a black plastic bag in his hand.
Ye Shaoyang sniffled and said, "It's cow's blood, and ordinary families would never buy cow's blood. This should be Accountant Sun."
Xie Yuqing said indignantly: "He's willing to adjust his life for my old lady. I'm afraid that his old lady has had enough chicken blood, so I bought cow's blood today. It's a pity that his old lady drank human blood before."
Ye Shaoyang said: "Let's go to the back of the alley and find a place to observe."
So Xie Yuqing arranged for Qi Chen to stay on the lookout, and he and Ye Shaoyang quickly walked into the alley behind Liu's courtyard, walked to the end in one breath, came to the back of Liu's house, and searched again. The back wall of Liu's house was not There is no window, Xie Yuqing said: "What should we do now?"
"It is impossible to have no windows." Ye Shaoyang said, "The room where the demon corpse is located must have air holes that are directly connected to the outside world, otherwise it will not be able to gather the yin energy from the outside world. If the windows are not at the back, they must be at the front. Go up and have a look."
Fortunately, it was already dark and there were no other houses nearby, so there was no need to worry about being discovered.
Ye Shaoyang grabbed the edge of the courtyard wall, climbed up, climbed up to the roof, disappeared for a while, and soon came back, lying on the edge of the roof, and said in a low voice: "There is a skylight, you Come up and have a look."
He stretched out his hand and pulled Xie Yuqing up, pasted a concealed energy talisman on her body, and then called her to the side of the skylight, each of them stretched out his head to look down.
There was an electric light hanging on the roof, but it was useless. Instead, a candle was lit, and only things could be barely seen in the room: the furnishings were very simple, with only a bed and a square table, an old lady with white hair and chicken skin, and a He leaned against the head of the bed motionlessly, without blinking his eyelids.
Looking down from the skylight, there is just an oblique angle, and you can see most of the old lady's face. Xie Yuqing observed it for a long time, then leaned into Ye Shaoyang's ear and said: "It looks very normal, the faces of the elderly are like this, and it's not like that. love to move."
Ye Shaoyang didn't speak, took out the gossip mirror from his belt, and slanted it down, the candlelight reflected the old lady's face, Xie Yuqing looked through the mirror, his mouth slowly opened, and quickly covered his mouth to avoid screaming:
