I put on my shorts with a red face and asked Wu Zhicong: "What's going on?"
"I just went out for a walk and ended up here. There were a lot of people around, including many police officers. I saw you lying on the ground, so I rushed in to wake you up." After Wu Zhicong finished speaking, I looked around and frowned. At this time, a police officer who looked to be about 30 years old walked up to me, looked me up and down, and asked, "You are an eyewitness, right? So many people died. Did you see what happened?"
"They are all dead." I felt a little uneasy. This monster actually killed more than 20 people. How could ordinary monsters have such ability? The police nodded, then took out a small notebook and looked at me and said, "They are all dead. Tell me what you saw just now. Pay attention. This is to record your statement."
"Hey." I sighed and said, "I'm a policeman, too." Then I took out my cell phone and called Uncle Fang.
"Hey, Xiaojiu, where are you? Something happened at the back door of No. 1 Middle School. Many people died. Go over there right away." Uncle Fang's voice on the other end of the phone was quite urgent. Yes, more than 20 people died at once. This is not a small number. In this era when eating the wrong food and getting a stomachache will make the headlines in newspapers, I guess the newspapers will report about these 20 people tomorrow.
I lowered my voice and whispered to the person on the other end of the phone, "Uncle Fang, I'm at the scene. This is not an ordinary case. It's the work of a demon. Just give the order and say it's food poisoning. Shut up the media first."
Uncle Fang didn't say anything for a long time, then said, "I see, you stay there, I'll be right over."
After I finished the call, I realized that the policeman was still in front of me. I smiled awkwardly and said, "The chief will be here soon, and you will know my identity then." The policeman didn't seem to think much about it. He just nodded, then turned around to continue recording my statement. There were quite a lot of people watching around, about thirty or forty, and each of them was still calling to tell about the situation here, as if they were afraid that others would not know that someone had died here.
Wu Zhicong and I looked at each other and squatted down to look at the more than 20 bodies. Although we are not coroners, we can find some things that coroners cannot find. That's right, the three souls and seven spirits of these people are gone. Wu Zhicong and I didn't believe it at first, and we checked again carefully, but these people are like empty shells at this time.
Even if a person's soul wants to reincarnate after death, it won't happen so quickly. There will be a little soul in the person's body, but the souls of these corpses seem to have been drained away. Could this be what the black cat's soul-gathering means
Then Uncle Fang came. He also looked tired and seemed to have just woken up. However, no one expected something like this to happen in the middle of the night. Uncle Fang was also wearing a police uniform. He ignored the policemen around him who greeted him and walked straight up to me and said, "Xiao Jiu, did you find anything?"
I shook my head, pointed at the corpses and whispered to Uncle Fang, "I didn't find anything big, it's just that the souls of these corpses have disappeared, and I've fought with that monster before, and that monster is pretty powerful."
Uncle Fang's face turned a little ugly when he heard what I said. At this time, a middle-aged policeman in his thirties came over. I also knew this man. He was the policeman who came to deliver our documents when I was going to the island country before. His name was Tang Longtian. Tang Longtian walked to Uncle Fang and whispered to him, "Chief, how do we deal with this now? The reporters around are waiting."
I was observing the bodies and didn't notice it. Now I realized that the people who were watching had been pushed to the back. Now all the reporters were standing by the cordon, taking pictures with their cameras. Uncle Fang whispered, "Take these bodies back to the police station first and find a coroner who is more careful. As for those reporters, just say they died of poisoning."
After receiving the order, Tang Longtian nodded, and then turned around to deal with these things. Uncle Fang rubbed his temples. It seemed that this matter made him very uncomfortable. He said, "I am really tired. I have to deal with this matter late at night. Hey, I guess I won't be able to sleep well for a while." Then he shook his head and went to deal with the matter. After all, for such a big matter, he had to show up in many places.
Wu Zhicong and I looked at each other. I knew it was useless for us to stay here any longer, so I said hello to Uncle Fang and walked along a small path towards the company.
"Brother Xiaojiu, what do you think about this?" Wu Zhicong on my left suddenly asked. I turned my head and looked at Wu Zhicong with an indifferent expression and said, "So many people died this time. I am also partly responsible. If I could defeat the monster, they would not have died. Let's find a way to capture the monster together. The monster is not stupid. He must have a purpose for coming to Chengdu to cause trouble for no reason."
"It's a pity that there is nothing with the aura of the monster, otherwise I could use the method of searching monsters to find it."
I nodded, and suddenly remembered that some of the corpses had eaten a lot of the wild cat's meat and claws before they died. I thought that maybe I could use that to find the cat demon. Thinking of this, I immediately picked up the phone and called Uncle Fang. I basically told him to check if there was any fur or animal meat in their stomachs after the autopsy. Uncle Fang didn't ask much, but just told me to call me if I found any.
When Wu Zhicong and I returned to the company, we realized that it was already twelve o'clock. Xiaoling, Xiaoruo, and Fang Pengguang had already gone to bed. Only Su Daji was sitting in the living room in her white pajamas, hugging a pillow and watching TV. As soon as Wu Zhicong and I opened the door, she asked me, "Hey, what's going on? Did you meet the black cat?"
I nodded: "If I hadn't met you, would I have come back now?"
Su Daji put down the pillow, stood up, stretched, and said, "In the end, did you capture the cat demon?"
"Big sister, you think you are just talking, that cat demon is very powerful, and more than 20 people died." I sighed, Su Daji frowned and asked, "So many people died."
"Yeah, I didn't expect so many people to die." I shook my head and sighed. Su Daji suddenly seemed to have thought of something, staring at me and asked, "Did all of their souls disappear?"
I looked at Su Daji and asked, "Hey, how did you know?"
Su Daji frowned and said, "It's training its tail."
