"It's not a zombie?" Bai Zhenyong was confused at first, then he breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as it's not a zombie."
What is a zombie? Dead but not rotting is called zombie.
"Notes of Yuewei Thatched Cottage" once described the zombie's appearance: "White hair all over the body, eyes as red as cinnabar, fingers like hooks, teeth exposed outside the lips like sharp knives, kissing and breathing, and blood running through the nose."
In "Xu Zi Bu Yu", it is mentioned that there were miners in Yunnan who were unable to come out when they were pressed by the earth. For decades or centuries, they were nourished by the earth's metal energy, and their bodies did not deteriorate, and they turned into dry muntjacs.
But no matter what kind of zombie they are, I have only heard of zombies killing people and absorbing human yang energy, but I have never heard of zombies sucking blood.
The folk saying that green-haired zombies suck blood is just a rumor. So later Hong Kong and Taiwan film and television dramas simply integrated Western vampires, and then came up with the idea of vampire zombies.
A real zombie is one that is buried in a corpse-raising ground after death. The corpse energy and Yin evil spirits gather together, turning the whole body purple, forming purple zombies. At this time, the zombies cannot move yet. They will absorb the Yin evil energy for a long time and cultivate on their own.
Only then will they evolve into subsequent zombies.
But the deep tooth marks on the neck of the female worker's corpse in front of him, coupled with the dark mark of kneeling not far away, made Fei Jingting feel that he didn't look like a zombie, but rather like a legendary vampire.
The original zombies were indeed afraid of the sun and could be burned by the sun, but they would not turn into ashes so completely. On the contrary, vampires, according to legend, would burn to ashes immediately when exposed to the sun.
Fei Jingting thought for a moment and asked, "The ones who had the accident were all female workers from Longshuncheng Pharmaceutical Factory?"
Bai Zhenyong said quickly: "Yes, from last month to now, a total of six female workers have disappeared." He pointed to the corpse: "This is the only one whose body has been found."
Fei Jingting stopped looking at the corpse of the female worker, stood up and walked to the river, pointing to the surface of the river: "Let's find a boat to fish it out, the corpses were probably thrown into the river."
Bai Zhenyong coughed twice in embarrassment: "Mr. Fei, is there any other way?"
The students began to make a fuss in May, and the trend has spread until now, so that such a large tax-paying household is particularly uncooperative this year. The Beiyang court has no money, and the first step is to cut the salaries of public officials.
The finances of the Tianjin Police Department are tight and they have been paid half salary for three consecutive months. Retrieving the bodies is time-consuming and laborious. How can the Police Department have the money to hire a boat to salvage the bodies?
Fei Jingting sighed and said, "How about you hire a boat and I'll point out where the body is?"
Bai Zhenyong quickly agreed: "Hey, it will be easier if Mr. Fei takes action." He turned around and told his inspector: "Go quickly and hire two boats."
After a while, the hired boat came. Fei Jingting did not wait for the boat to dock. He picked up his strength and rowed across the river seven or eight meters before landing firmly on the bow of the boat. The boatman was startled.
All the patrol officers also cheered.
"He is worthy of being the number one person in Chinese martial arts. This is just Qinggong. You started practicing it in your mother's womb, right?"
"Bah, that's a score! Even if you started training from the womb, you would still fall into the river halfway."
Fei Jingting directed the boatman to swim along the drinking channel. At the same time, he opened his Yin and Yang eyes and concentrated on sensing the bottom of the river.
After the boat had traveled two or three miles, Fei Jingting identified several locations for dumping bodies under the guidance of Fei Jingting. Following the patrol, he invited fishermen with good water skills to go down to the river with fishing nets to salvage them. After struggling for a long time, four sacks containing the bodies were salvaged one after another.
.
The remaining body could not be found no matter what. The Jinmen River network was dense, and those guys might have thrown the body into other rivers. Fei Jingting jumped back to the shore.
Bai Zhenyong was so busy that he was sweating. Seeing that Fei Jingting could locate the body just by walking on the river, he was so impressed that he was so impressed. Seeing that Fei Jingting was on the shore, he hurriedly came over in a very dog-like manner.
"Mr. Fei, the body has been found, but where is the murderer?"
Fei Jingting said: "The murderer should not be human."
"ah?"
"Not a zombie either."
"Then..." Bai Zhenyong didn't know what to do. If the murderer was a human being, if he cast a wide net, no matter how fierce he was, he would still have to be captured under the siege of hundreds of armed patrolmen. But if he wasn't a human being,
So how to deal with it?
Fei Jingting said: "These cases were all done at night, and they were specifically targeted at female workers at Longshuncheng Pharmaceutical Factory. Well... you tell your brothers to withdraw and leave it alone for now."
"You mean...you plan to take over?"
Fei Jingting nodded, stood up and left: "I'll go back and ask someone who knows. I'll go to Longshuncheng Pharmaceutical Factory to take a look at it tonight."
"Hey, okay, okay. Mr. Fei, there is a car. How about taking a car?"
Fei Jingting just waved his hand and disappeared at the corner of the dirt road next to the river embankment.
………………………………
After just a cup of tea, Fei Jingting returned to Beichen University. After greeting several colleagues who were coming in and out, he went straight to the infirmary in the corner.
Pushing the door open, Zhang Leyao was quietly sipping tea.
Looking up at Fei Jingting, Zhang Leyao nodded, picked up the teapot and poured a cup for Fei Jingting, and said: "You came just in time, I just brewed it, this time I used mountain spring water, can you try the difference in the taste?"
?”
Fei Jingting slowly sat down, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and then said: "It seems that you are even more happy?"
Zhang Leyao smiled like a plum blossom: "Exactly. I met a water truck selling water in the morning and said it was mountain spring water, so I bought some. It seems that the water seller was not telling lies."
Fei Jingting pondered for a moment and then said: "Miss Zhang is familiar with the Shangqing sect, but does she know the art of raising corpses in Maoshan?"
Zhang Leyao frowned slightly in surprise: "Why would Mr. Fei be interested in such despicable methods?"
As for Chinese people, we respect the ancestors of heaven and earth. The technique of manipulating corpses is really too evil, and serious ascetics hate it deeply.
Fei Jingting said leisurely: "I encountered a case and was a little unsure, so I came to ask for advice."
"Oh, then I can tell you something."
Maoshan Corpse Raising Technique involves selecting and drying corpses, burying them in a corpse raising ground, pouring molten iron, and opening an altar. When the corpse's energy and evil spirits gather together, it will naturally become a zombie controlled by the technique.
The corpses raised in Maoshan are divided into bronze-armored corpses, iron-armored corpses, silver-armored corpses, and golden-armored corpses. It is said that at the silver-armored corpse stage, the corpses can move freely, are not afraid of the sun, and even have intelligence; when they reach the golden-armored corpse stage,
In the corpse stage, the corpse leaps and flies, is invulnerable to weapons and bullets, is invulnerable to water and fire, can sit, lie down, stand, walk, and even speak, all like ordinary people.
The naturally formed zombies are different. At first they are purple, with their whole body turning purple and unable to move;
When the purple zombie transforms, it will either become white stiffness or black stiffness. The two are only distinguished by color. Both are slow in movement. They are afraid of the sun, water, fire, chickens, dogs, and even people. They are easy to deal with;
A very few have transformed into green zombies. They are not afraid of anything but the sun;
The three-color zombies have been cultivating for a long time and have grown hair all over their bodies, turning them into Mao Zombies. Mao Zombies are agile in movement, have copper skin and iron bones, and are not afraid of ordinary fire. Those with high cultivation levels are not even afraid of sunlight;
Mao Zombies have been cultivating for thousands of years and can transform into flying zombies. This kind of zombies can not only fly, but also use magic. It is said that flying zombies appeared in Anzhou, Zhili.
The following ones, such as those that do not turn into bones, lay down corpses, and wander around with corpses, belong to myths and legends. The white-bone spirit in Journey to the West should be considered to be those that do not turn into bones.
After listening to Zhang Leyao's story, Fei Jingting roughly confirmed what he was thinking. Zombies can attack people, and flying zombies are said to like to eat children, but there are no rumors of blood-sucking.
Seeing that Fei Jingting was thoughtful, Zhang Leyao asked, "What happened to Mr. Fei?"
"Yes, today my old friend invited me to help investigate a case. Several corpses were recovered. There were deep tooth marks on their necks, and all the blood had been sucked out of their bodies."
Zhang Leyao's hand that was originally pouring tea paused for a moment, then continued to pour tea and said: "Speaking of which, I encountered something that sucked human blood last night."
"Um?"
"The person who was killed was a woman. She put it in a sack and dropped a stone. Those two things wanted to throw the body into the river."
not……
Zhang Leyao added: "When I met them, those two things started to fight. At first I thought they were evil spirits, so I tried to suppress them, but the yellow talisman did not take effect. During the fight, the soft sword penetrated the body, and the two
But he seemed unaffected and continued to fight with me."
"and after?"
"Then I used the Imperial Sword Curse and chopped off one of them, which instantly turned into ashes. Then I stabbed one of his arms, and the thing was also decisive, tearing off the arm and jumping into the water to escape."
Good guy, it was you who dared to love me!
"That's it. What I just went to check on the river embankment turned out to be Miss Zhang's head and tail."
Zhang Leyao glanced at Fei Jingting and said softly: "I just saw Mr. Fei thinking deeply, but do you know those two things? They are neither demons nor ghosts, but they are afraid of the energy of the blazing sun of Tiangang. I don't know what they are.
thing."
Fei Jingting was just guessing before, but now with Zhang Leyao's words confirming it, Fei Jingting is almost certain.
"Have Miss Zhang ever heard of vampires?"
"vampire?"
Seeing that Zhang Leyao didn't know, Fei Jingting briefly described the vampire in Western legends. Zhang Leyao was thoughtful.
After Fei Jingting finished telling the story, he said: "With Miss Zhang's confirmation, I feel a little confident. I will make a patrol tonight to see if I can catch all these guys."
"I'm afraid it will be difficult. There are two of them in total. One turned into ashes and the other lost his right arm. I'm afraid he has gone into hiding now and is difficult to find."
"Heh," Fei Jingting said with a smile, "There is a saying that if there is one cockroach in the house, there might be thousands of cockroaches in invisible places."
Vampires, these things appear in nests. These ignorant things dare to come to the land of China to harm people. It’s okay if you don’t know. If you know, Fei Jingting will definitely catch them one by one!
"What Mr. Fei said makes sense." Zhang Leyao pondered for a moment and said, "I'm afraid it's not easy to conduct inspections at night. Why don't you, the little girl, come to help?"
Fei Jingting thought for a moment and realized that he and Fu Yunzhao could only be two people together. Jinmen was so vast that it would not be easy to search. So he nodded in agreement: "Okay." (To be continued)
