Qiu Gang and his party stopped at the intersection. They didn't expect the corpse chasers to escape so fast. Following the footprints on the snow, Qiu Gang could conclude that the corpse chasers had fled into the ancient forest in front of them. Qiu Gang
He ordered everyone to stop and return immediately. Qiu Gang snorted with a sneer. In his opinion, the corpse exorcists and his party were seeking death by walking into the ancient forest. "Evacuate"! Qiu Gang turned around and left quickly.
According to legend, the ancient forest was a place where an ancient tribe in western Hunan paid homage to their ancestors. Later, the tribe suddenly disappeared two hundred years ago for unknown reasons. People in the entire ancient town stayed away from the ancient forest, and even took a detour during the day. Those who had the courage to
Great men or capable strangers have gone in to investigate, but they have not come out. Since then, the ancient forest has become a taboo.
Until now, the exorcists believe that Wu, the owner of the corpse inn, had his men drink and burn the smoke, while the mayor thinks that the exorcists jumped over the wall and burned the smoke or escaped with the smoke privately. Both sides are fighting each other.
There is no doubt about the third force of Deng Long and Li Kangkai. In fact, the corpse exorcist was also blinded by anger. Otherwise, with his shrewdness, he would at least suspect that it was Li Kangkai who did it. After all, Li Kangkai had already leaked the information when he inspected the corpse inn last time.
identity
The group of corpse chasers naturally knew that the ancient forest was a taboo in the ancient town of Xiangxi, but the smoke and soil had been destroyed in their own hands. How could the mayor spare him? Before the solstice day came and the zombies took shape, they did not have the strength to follow them.
The mayor resisted, but the two good-for-nothing men surnamed Wu drank and burned their own smoke. Thinking of the corpse exterminator, he became angry.
With a wave of his hand, the corpse exorcist ordered one of his men to turn on a lantern and clear the way in front. Everyone fearfully entered the ancient forest. Due to the terrifying legends of the ancient forest, the corpse exorcist did not dare to go deep at night, so everyone found them at the entrance of the forest.
I made a fire with some dry branches and spent the night
Deng Long was woken up early in the morning. He saw the security team rushing towards the Chen family ancestral hall with steel guns on their backs on the street. Could it be that something happened again? After Deng Long told Li Kangkai to stay at home, he quickly rushed to the Chen family ancestral hall.
Run to the Chen Family Ancestral Hall. Could it be that someone from the Chen family has died again? Most of the people in the town have the surname Chen. When people with the surname Chen die, they usually perform rituals in the Chen Family Ancestral Hall.
When Deng Long came to the Chen family ancestral hall, it was already packed with people. This time, Mrs. Chen was not there, but some ordinary villagers were watching around. Everyone was talking about it. Deng Long felt strange, could it be that the deceased was the person who died yesterday?
He was killed while sneaking into the corpse inn at night.
After a while, the security team escorted Chen Laoliu, who was on duty, to the ancestral hall. Chen Laoliu was struggling and shouting that he was wronged. Captain He of the security team looked cold and raised his hand to signal everyone to quiet down. Captain He has always been indifferent.
, everyone suddenly became quiet when they saw his livid face.
"Bring Chen Laoliu up," Captain He shouted, and saw Chen Laoliu being escorted by two team members in front of everyone and pushed to the ground. Everyone started talking again, "The watchman Chen Laoliu died on the third day of last night."
At midnight, he forcibly broke into Chen Qiumei's (Pretty Widow) home and attempted to commit rape. Chen Laoliu resisted fiercely. Chen Laoliu became angry and brutally killed Chen Qiumei. When he escaped, he was captured by the patrolling security team. "Captain He said to the police
Everyone announced
The people in Chenjia Village became furious. They didn't expect that an old bachelor who usually looked like an honest man would turn out to be such a well-dressed beast. Everyone spat at Chen Laoliu. When Chen Laoliu heard Captain He announce that he
He was a murderer. He immediately got up from the ground and shouted with pain on his face: "I'm wronged, it's stiff..."
Poor Chen Laoliu didn't finish his sentence when he was kicked in the mouth by Captain He. The mouth was smashed to pieces. The blood was flowing out. It was terrifying, but he couldn't say a word. Tears were streaming from the corners of his eyes.
huddled on the ground
"Come here, take Chen Laoliu down to jail first and wait for the mayor to deal with it." Captain He shouted to the security team members. After speaking, he turned to everyone in the ancestral hall and said: "The murderer has been identified. Let's help bury Chen Qiumei first."
Lead all the team members to leave one after another
While everyone was talking among themselves, Deng Long quietly opened the shroud. Seeing Chen Qiumei's torn and bloody neck, he was really miserable. He quietly left the Chen family ancestral hall. Deng Long returned to the shop and handed over the corpse.
Chen Qiumei and Chen Laoliu told Li Kangkai. From Chen Laoliu's painful expression and Captain He's eagerness to deal with the matter, Deng Long felt that there was a big problem with this matter.
Deng Long believed that it was probably caused by zombies, while Li Kangkai, who had received formal scientific education, still refused to believe it, and did not even believe that there was such a thing as zombies. As for whether it was caused by zombies, both of them fell silent. Li Kangkai had received formal scientific education.
With advanced scientific knowledge, it was difficult for him to accept that there were strange creatures like zombies in the world, so he fell into intense thinking.
"Brother Li, what exactly is life? Life comes without a trace and goes without a trace. It cannot be seen or touched. What exactly is it? Why is it that when there is it, a person is alive, but the same person,
If you do the most scientific dissection, you can find that nothing is missing, but the so-called 'life' is missing, and he becomes a dead person." Deng Long looked at Li Kangkai and looked up at the roof and thought deeply, the more he thought about it, the more confused he became.
, Deng Long shook his head
Li Kangkai sighed and said: "From a scientific point of view, when a person dies, it means that his breathing has stopped, his blood is no longer circulating, all the cells in his body are dead, and he can no longer move. In fact, there is a difference between life and death.
In terms of mysteries, our scientists have discovered very few things. For example, the zombies you call are obviously dead, but their nails and teeth are still growing. This means that the cells in his body are still there, at least in his hands.
They exist within the nails, but the amazing thing is that they can still continue to grow without the support of vitality. I personally think this is something that modern science cannot explain."
After a pause, Deng Long said: "Brother Li, I don't think science is omnipotent. You have also seen that corpse exterminators can control dead bodies to transport poison, and zombies can also suck blood and attack humans. Do you think this can be explained by science?
"
Li Kangkai fell into deep thought. What Deng Long said was true. Before seeing zombies, he did not believe in the existence of strange creatures like zombies. He also did not know what kind of magical power the exorcists used to control even dead bodies.
The two of them were getting more and more confused. After a long time, their thoughts returned to reality. It was no longer important to argue about the nature of zombies, but to find out who could exorcise corpses. Li Kangkai picked up the warm old rice wine and gave it to Deng Long and
Pour yourself a glass
"By the way, the security team captured Chen Laoliu at the scene. Don't you know the deputy captain? Inviting him to come over and ask may provide some clues." Li Kangkai blew on the hot rice wine, took a sip and said to Deng Long, "Well, he knows the situation best.
Maybe it's them, I'll go find Xiaoshan now." Deng Long came back to his senses and nodded.
Deng Long ran out quickly. There have been so many things happening on the street recently, and the security team has stepped up patrols. So Deng Long quickly found Chen Xiaoshan who was patrolling, and dragged Chen Xiaoshan to his store.
As soon as he entered the store, Deng Long quickly closed the door tightly. When Chen Xiaoshan came to the stove and saw the unfamiliar Li Kangkai, he immediately became alert and asked, "Who are you?" Deng Long smiled and poured Chen Xiaoshan a glass of wine.
Said: "Xiaoshan, let's sit down and have a good chat."
"I am Li Kangkai, deputy captain of the Shanghai Detective Team." After speaking, Li Kangkai smiled and handed his ID to Chen Xiaoshan. After looking at it for a long time, Chen Xiaoshan respectfully saluted Li Kangkai and said, "Captain Li, I didn't know you
What kind of case did you come to our town to investigate?" Chen Xiaoshan said respectfully, "Haha, we'll talk about this later. Come sit down and tell us what you saw last night." Li Kangkai waved his hand and motioned for Chen Xiaoshan to sit down.
come down
"Xiaoshan, we are close friends. You can't make up lies and lie to me." Deng Long smiled and said, "How dare you? I was actually about to tell you about this matter." Chen Xiaoshan said to Deng Long.
Chen Xiaoshan told Deng Long and Li Kangkai everything that happened last night in detail. After he finished speaking, there was still a look of terror on his face. He would never forget the tragedy of the pretty widow at that time.
When Deng Long heard what Chen Xiaoshan said, he and Li Kangkai nodded understandingly. It seems that Chen Lao Liu was probably wronged. "Xiaoshan, do you think there are really zombies in this world?" Deng Long asked, "I think even if it is not a zombie,
What he did should be the work of a ferocious beast. With Chen Laoliu's character, it is impossible for him to do such a cruel thing. However, since the mayor and Captain He have already decided on this matter, no one can change it." Chen Laoliu
Xiaoshan said with sympathy on his face
"Well, it's true that in our place, the mayor is Wang Fa." Deng Long frowned and said, "If the mayor is a murderer or the mayor does something evil, what will you do, Xiaoshan?" Li Kangkai stared at Chen
Xiaoshan said with serious eyes, "Captain Li, please don't talk nonsense. It will be troublesome if the mayor finds out." Although he was in the room, Chen Xiaoshan still looked around cautiously and whispered.
"Haha, I'm just saying what if, or if it's true, what would you do?" Li Kangkai asked Chen Xiaoshan with a smile but a stern voice. Chen Xiaoshan looked around again, and for a long time, he drained the wine in his glass.
He stood up and said: "If it is true, I, Chen Xiaoshan, will be the first to catch him."
"Okay!" Li Kangkai stood up and grabbed Chen Xiaoshan's shoulders and said: "I really saw the right person. To tell you the truth, your mayor colluded with the exorcists to transport the smoke, but the smoke has been destroyed by me. I guess
Your mayor must have some kind of account books. If I can find these account books, I can arrest him."
"Captain Li, you, you mean to ask me to steal the account book?" Chen Xiaoshan said in surprise, "Well, it will be necessary when necessary, but for now, don't alert the snake. Let's trace the whereabouts of the zombie first to save it from causing harm again.
"People," Li Kangkai said, and after a pause, Li Kangkai said again: "Xiaoshan, how many close brothers do you have? We are in urgent need of manpower now." Chen Xiaoshan quickly replied: "The entire security team, including Captain He, has a total of sixty people. My
I don’t have many confidants, only eight people, but they can definitely be trusted.”
"Well, that's enough. You go back and do what you did before. Don't tell anyone about me. Deng Long and I will contact you if necessary." Li Kangkai patted Chen Xiaoshan on the shoulder and said
After Chen Xiaoshan left, Li Kangkai said to Deng Long: "Deng Long, it's time for us to take action. The earlier we find the zombies and catch the exorcists, the better for the residents of this town." "Well, Brother Li, then we will
Action, another person was killed in the province," Deng Long said
