Officer Hu Xuan nodded, and very simply agreed to the request of the note.
Half an hour later, Tiaozi was led to a red door in the forensic work area by Hu Xuan. Hu Xuan said that it was the morgue used by forensic doctors to identify corpses. The bodies of all the deceased were kept inside, and they had not had time to identify them.
Pushing the door in, a gloomy yin air slowly drifted out of the room, and at the moment it penetrated into the body, he stopped and shivered.
"What's the matter?" Hu Xuan asked with concern when he saw Tiaozi's face feeling uncomfortable.
"It's okay, it's just that the yin inside is too heavy, and my intuition is a little sensitive so..."
After hearing this, Hu Xuan ticked the corner of his mouth, "I understand, I understand! Xiao Liu, come!"
Hu Xuan turned his head and gave a few hints to Xiao Liu who was following him. Xiao Liu was taken aback, turned his head, took out a black plastic box from his bag, opened it, and inside was an orange sponge with this thing. She stepped into the corpse room, and a magical scene happened.
The cyan mist that ordinary people can't detect is absorbed by the sponge in the box like water. The volume of Yin Qi is shrinking at a speed that can be seen by the naked eye, and it is completely integrated into the mysterious sponge in less than half a minute. The color of the sponge is also Then it changed, changing from orange to light cyan with the same color as Yin Qi. The strip was surprised, what was the thing on Xiao Liu's hand
"This is a sponge soaked in corpse oil, which can absorb things like yin and evil."
"So that's the case." Tiaozi suddenly realized that this is a principle that Tiaozi borrows grievances with corpse oil. As the secretion of corpses, corpse oil has the function of absorbing evil evil spirits. It is not surprising that it can be used to absorb Yin Qi.
After the Yin Qi dissipated, Tiaozi felt more comfortable, and followed Hu Xuan into the morgue. There were three corpses, all covered by white cloth.
Before the white cloth was opened, the sliver already smelled a strange smell. The smell was neither like a chemical substance nor a bad smell, but a pungent smell similar to garlic emanating from the corpse.
Pulling away the white cloth, the smell became stronger, and the sliver couldn't help covering his nose.
"Do you smell it!" Tiaozi asked Hu Xuan and Xiao Liu.
Xiao Liu didn't speak, but Hu Xuan immediately stated: "Smell it, it smelled right from the time we found the corpse. Now the smell is even heavier."
The corpse was a woman in her early twenties. Due to the need for anatomy, the corpse was naked. Xiao Liu couldn't help covering her eyes. He took a closer look at the upper body of the corpse and found the two in the photo on the right side of her neck. A hole-shaped wound.
The wound was very deep, and surely it went deep into the aorta. The surrounding area of the wound was black and swollen, and there were already signs of decay, but she squeezed her neck so hard that she couldn't squeeze a drop of blood.
The nose moved up and sniffed, the sliver smelled the familiar smell of garlic.
Tiaozi observed the other three bodies one after another, an old man who looked 70 or 80 years old, a middle-aged old uncle, and a little boy who looked only eight or nine years old.
Their corpses have two common features. They have two hole-shaped wounds about the same distance from each other, and the surface of the wounds has a familiar smell of garlic.
The first feature is easy to draw a conclusion, but when matched with the latter feature, it becomes inexplicable.
"How is it? Mr. Zhang Tiao, do you see anything?" Hu Xuan couldn't help asking, seeing the thoughtful look of the strip.
Tiaozi did not answer at first, but thought for more than ten seconds: "Judging from the wound, this is the work of a zombie."
"I think too." Hu Xuan actually guessed this at the beginning, but he was not sure, so I asked Tiaozi, a person who knows how to corpses, to come and take a look.
"However, the smell of this corpse makes me think it's not just a zombie."
Both the Western vampires and the zombies often found in China have a common nemesis, that is garlic. This is not the knowledge of a few people for a long time. Garlic has the effect of detoxifying and absorbing corpse gas, so it has a high effect on zombies. The gram production is used.
The corpses that have been attacked by zombies all smell of garlic. This is inevitably inconsistent. There is only one speculation at present, that is, the garlic smell is not from zombies, but is left after being attacked by zombies. If so, then It seems intriguing.
Tiaozi continued to look down at the corpses, leaving a pinhole at the knee of each corpse. The pinhole was not too big or small, just enough to be recognized by the naked eye. There was a black bruise near the wound, which was obviously a post-mortem wound.
"By the way, has your forensic doctor ever touched this corpse?" Tiao Zi pointed to the wound of one of the corpses and asked with a serious expression.
"No, these corpses have just been delivered, and the forensic doctors haven't had time to move."
"Oh?" The note frowned. If this were the case, the matter would be more suspicious.
The deceased smelled of garlic and left pinholes in his knees. This was obviously not done by zombies. Could it be that someone left it afterwards
This is not impossible, but what is his purpose for doing this
Tiaozi didn't understand, but didn't want to ask Hu Xuan and Xiao Liu, just pointed at the corpses and said:
"These corpses should be cremated as soon as possible, otherwise they will easily change."
Hu Xuan became embarrassed after hearing this: "These corpses cannot be disposed of until the case is solved."
Tiaozi shook his head violently, and solemnly said: "It must be dealt with! Otherwise it is dangerous! They have a certain probability of becoming zombies, and things will be more troublesome then."
Hu Xuan obviously did not realize the seriousness of the matter. In the book "Tao Fa Records", it was mentioned that dead corpses must be cremated after being attacked by zombies, otherwise within seven days they may become zombies due to corpse poisoning in the body. Although the probability of this phenomenon is mostly less than one in ten, the actual situation is determined by the corpse’s corpse poison and the grievances on the corpse.
According to the wounds on these corpses, the concentration of corpse poison is definitely not low. In addition, most of these people died of misfortune, and the resentment was deep, and the possibility of mutation would be high.
After listening to the advice of the note, Hu Xuan couldn't help but choked up. Realizing the seriousness of the matter, he nodded and agreed to the request of the note.
"Mr. Zhang Tiao, after reading these corpses, I don't know what opinion you have on this case?" Seeing the thoughtful look of the note just now, Hu Xuan felt that the note definitely saw a lot of problems.
Tiaozi groaned and organized the following language: "As far as I know about corpses, this is done by zombies, but it's not just that."
Hu Xuan was not satisfied with the answer, and continued to ask: "I guessed the zombie, but what else do you see?"
Tiaozi went on to say: "The murders all happen in the city, but now the corpses in this city are almost cremated. It is impossible to produce such things as zombies. The only place where zombies can be transformed is in the countryside. How can zombies go to the city to harm people? This is obviously unreasonable, so I guess it should be a zombie in the city."
Hu Xuan and Xiaoliu were stunned after listening to the inference of the note. Xiaoliu hurriedly questioned: "Didn't you just say that it is impossible to produce such things as zombies in the city?"
"Yes, it is indeed impossible, but one exception is the case." Tiaozi turned around and fell into thought again.
"What's the situation? Hurry up!" Hu Xuan asked urgently.
"This zombie is not born naturally, it can be refined by humans."
Tiaozi's answer surprised Hu Xuan and Xiao Liu. Hu Xuan said, "Are you someone here who is cultivating a corpse in secret?"
Tiaozi nodded: "The only possibility at the moment is this."
Xiao Liu asked again: "Then why did he create this kind of thing?"
Tiaozi shook his head: "I don't know, I have to ask the person who refines the corpse."
Looking at these tragic corpses, Tiaozi felt that the case was not simple. He wanted to come over and see the case, but now he is also starting to take care of it.
Zombies have rarely appeared since the Republic of China. It is indeed a weird thing to reappear in the rivers and lakes. Usually, the formation of zombies is mostly caused by the lack of burial and the accumulation of corpse gas and resentment. Refining the corpse belongs to the path against the sky and is firmly prohibited.
After returning to the police station, Tiaozi carefully looked through the file that Hu Xuan handed him, and got a general understanding of the case.
The four deceased were all residents of Hucheng County. The residence of the four before their lives was no more than two kilometers, which is enough to see that the murderer was active nearby.
The deceased were three men and one woman, the woman was 27 years old, and the remaining three men who died were 7 years old, 47 years old, and 67 years old. Arranging the ages of these deceased together in order, it was found that the ages of these deceased were all 20 years old. There is a number of seven in all ages, and he really doesn't know what this law means.
The death dates of the deceased were April 3, April 4, and April 5.
The first murder case was that this woman named Liu Feng happened on the 3rd. A boy died on the 4th. Two people died on the 5th. The 47-year-old uncle and the 67-year-old uncle were neighbors. .
The specific time of death is very uniform. At 2 o'clock in the morning, which is the heaviest time of the day, this is also a time when ghosts are recognized as frequent occurrences.
Although the information about this case is generally complete, there are many questions in the mind of the article. If you put it together, there are four main questions.
First, do zombies commit crimes randomly or deliberately select targets? Is this age rule a coincidence
Second, in general, zombies do not come out every day to cause trouble, but the case is that people are dying every day, so is this case committed by a zombie
Third, how did zombies enter these people's houses? Don't these dead people lock their doors at night
Fourth, what happened to the pinhole in the knee on the corpse
Basically solving these four problems, the pattern of this case is clear. Hu Xuan and Xiaoliu, as police officers, of course also saw these problems, but they couldn’t find the answers, otherwise they wouldn’t let the slips be the case. consultant.
"Police Officer Hu Xuan, I want to go to the crime scene to have a look, otherwise it would be difficult for me to judge based on these things."
After he had a sufficient understanding of the case, Tiaozi was determined to find out the truth of the case. It was not because of consultant fees, but because he vaguely felt that there was a lot of trickery behind the case.
Faced with Tiaozi's proposal, Hu Xuan and Xiao Liu thought about it, but in the end they all felt that there was nothing wrong with it.
"Little Liu, you take Mr. Zhang Tiao to see the latest crime scene. I have something to do, so I won't follow it."
After all, it was the group leader's order, so Xiaoliu readily agreed.
Later, Xiao Liu drove Tiaozi to the scene of the crime in a police car. Tiaozi finally had the opportunity to be alone with Xiao Liu. He had a lot of questions about Xiao Liu girl and planned to take this opportunity to ask clearly.
"Miss, why did you join this department?" Tiaozi asked tentatively.
Xiaoliu paused and didn't want to answer, but Tiaozi is the consultant of the group after all, and can't ignore it. After hesitating for a moment, she said:
"Because my physique was very special when I was a child, I encountered a lot of evil things, and I had some experience in this. Hu Xuan learned my secret after work, so I was transferred to help."
"Special physique? What do you mean?" Tiaozi continued to ask.
"You may not believe it, my body is easily possessed by ghosts, so I don't dare to go out without the amulet."
After all, Xiaoliu showed the amulet on his neck. It was a round cake-shaped amulet made of bronze with a large number of runes engraved on it. The layman would see this thing old and rough, but the strip is a person who knows how to do it. , I saw the mystery of this thing at a glance.
This is no ordinary talisman! The rune engraved on the spell is definitely the true story of the Tao, and ordinary people can't ask for it!
"Miss, where did your talisman come from?" Tiaozi wanted to go up and touch it, but the talisman was immediately taken back.
"It belongs to my master. I have no father and no mother since I was a child, and I grew up relying on the master's pull. This thing can't be touched indiscriminately."
"Master? Who is your master? Why is there such a thing?" In Tiaozi's insight, one who can own this thing is definitely an outsider.
"I won't tell you!" On this issue, Xiaoliu is very vigilant. After all, it is privacy, how can he easily say it.
"By the way, who did you think of me just now? Why were you so surprised when you saw me?" Xiao Liu looked at the note with a serious expression.
"It's okay, you just look like a friend of mine."
"How similar is it?"
"The three points are similar. If you look closely, the difference is actually quite big."
Tiaozi said that, but in fact he didn't think so. The little Liu in front of him has exactly the same voice, looks, and physique. Maybe it is a pair of sisters who have been separated for many years.
"How old are you?" Tiaozi asked again.
"How can you ask the girl's age casually!" Xiao Liu replied somewhat dissatisfied.
"Well, I was wrong." Tiaozi was full of apologies, but Xiao Liu laughed aloud when facing Tiaozi's reserved apology.
"It doesn't matter to tell you, I am 21st this year." Lili replied sincerely.
Well, Lili just celebrated her birthday in the new calendar a few days ago, so she is as old as Lili. According to the above conditions, Tiaozi really thinks that there must be a subtle connection between her and Lili.
