Chapter 573 Details
Following Wu Quan into the city, the bluestone roads that were clean and tidy, but lacked some popularity. The spacious street was almost depressed, and there were very few businessmen on both sides of the storefronts. Listening to the ears, it seemed like a dead city, which made Xiang Yang puzzled.
"Captain Wu, why don't people come out in broad daylight? Is it because I am afraid that the so-called zombie will appear?"
According to Xiang Yang, if the zombie theory is established, then people should be afraid of it at night, which does not affect the activity during the day. Why is it now like a frightened bird that looks extremely scared?
"Oh, Constable Xiang doesn't know anything. Just a few days ago, a gang in my Dasheng County was destroyed. More than a hundred young and strong men were killed. The death was also sucked by blood. The scene was terrifying. Even I was jumped at that time. The people no longer believed in the saying of day safety..."
Wu Quan smiled bitterly and spoke out the whole story one by one. Xiang Yang also frowned and felt very difficult.
The cause of the incident was a month and a half ago, a blacksmith surnamed Liu in the county town was killed at home. He died miserably. The originally dark and sturdy man had a pale face and atrophy.
The coroner's autopsy found that there were only two sharp teeth marks on the major artery on the neck, and the wound was scarred and hard. The cause of death was excessive blood loss. However, except for the blood on the neck of the corpse, the room was clean and without any blood.
There were no clues at the scene, only a few hairs that looked like livestock were left behind. After checking Liu Blacksmith's life and relationship, it was not discovered, and this was just the beginning.
On the third day after the Liu Blacksmith case, when the yamen constable was still searching for the murderer of the blood-sucking case, the murder happened again. This time it was a carpenter who drank with his friend one night and did not return home until the end of the Hai Dynasty.
The crime scene was in the Carpenter's Hutong, and only a few hairs were left behind. However, this time the yamen gained some gains. Based on the messy marks at the entrance of the Hutong at that time, a pair of large footprints were printed. The toes were clearly textured and evenly under pressure. It seemed that they were not wearing shoes, so they should be the murderer.
Then the county government constable started to find the murderer and screen the big feet, causing a small storm, but of course there was no gain in the end.
After that, there were different professions one after another. People who didn't know each other died of being sucked up all their blood, but in groups of three or three, plus the first two, there were a total of seventeen people.
During this period, the Niu County Magistrate of Dasheng County reported the matter to the Shenguan Sect under Wu Quan's persuasion, and there were various legends about the so-called zombies sucking blood.
It was not until yesterday that a small gang in Dasheng County was destroyed by people, and there was no sound in the middle, without any abnormal noise or resistance and fighting. When people entered, they found that they had all been sucked in and died.
This time the incident was too big, and even the gangs in the county were destroyed. The county magistrate's long-term inaction made it difficult for the people of Dasheng County to feel at ease, which caused a wave of leaving the nest, which was the situation Xiang Yang had just seen at the city gate.
"In other words, all the dead are men, and their bodies are basically strong and sucking blood. Have you ever thought that evil demons and heretics use human blood to practice qigong?"
Xiang Yang asked while walking that he was not in charge of the matter in the county. What he cared about was that there were really no clues in the county? Apart from a pair of big footprints?
"Oh, we have all guessed it, but the hair that looked like a livestock and the big footprints left at the scene made the Niu County Magistrate believe that it was a zombie who killed people. It was difficult for us to understand why these two things appeared on the scene.
Moreover, the deaths of the previous people are understandable. Perhaps some of the strength is just ordinary people.
This gang may not be sure. There are many warriors with extraordinary martial arts skills. So many of them were killed without even resisting, and there was no trace of druggedness during the coroner test. It is really puzzling."
Xiang Yang shook his head. The magistrate Niu was really unlucky. He did not report to the sect at the beginning. His idea should be exactly the same as the magistrate Anyuan Li in the past. He was afraid that it would affect his political achievements. Unfortunately, he did not have the other party’s good luck.
After dragging it over and over again, he still pulled out some zombies to kill people and deliberately escaped responsibility. In this matter, Huo Huaian of Qingjiang Mansion was afraid that he would not be able to spare him.
However, these have nothing to do with Xiang Yang. What he is sure now is that the murderer is not random, but is a purposeful choice of young and strong men with strong qi and blood. No woman or young person has proved this.
In addition, the purpose of killing should be very obvious, which is to practice martial arts. This is not difficult to understand. Just like the Lei Jing of the Lei family killed people with the true energy of Hehuan, blood can enhance the person's skills, or let him practice a certain powerful evil martial arts.
Finally, it is the method of killing people. Xiang Yang's opinion, this is a gradual evolutionary process. From killing one at the beginning to killing two or three slowly, it means that the other party is growing.
Until the last time, I didn’t know what transformation I had experienced. I killed hundreds of people in a gang in one breath, and I didn’t know how much my skills would be improved.
The previous cases are understandable, but the last one is strange. With his current martial arts cultivation, it is difficult to kill more than a hundred people at the same time in an instant without making any noise. As long as he cannot do this, it will inevitably cause riots. How did he do it?
It is okay to add medicine, but as long as you lose the ability to resist, you will naturally be at the mercy of others. However, the county government denied this possibility during the autopsy.
It’s not about drugging, so is this group of people voluntarily dedicated themselves? Some cults use verbal beliefs to deceive others and let them sacrifice their lives automatically, so that they will naturally not make any noise.
Or is this murderer who has spiritual martial arts that even Xiang Yang has never cultivated?
In an instant, spiritual cultivation radiates the gang, causing people to fall into dementia or illusion, and they don’t know until they die. This is also a possibility
Or is it a treasure, a divine weapon similar to evil? The spirit of the cholera man...
One possibility flashed through Xiang Yang's mind. Although he had not experienced many cases and his method of investigating cases was not as experienced as some old detectives, his martial arts skills were high enough that from an alternative perspective, he could also get clues that ordinary people could not detect.
Of course, Xiang Yang also had his own considerations about the hair and footprints that looked like animals left on the scene.
Hair does not mean anything, nor is it the so-called zombie hair. It can be a murderer who sets up a suspicion array and does not have to be the main reconnaissance direction, otherwise it may be in vain.
Big footprints are a useful clue, but they can also be said to be useless.
With Xiang Yang's current cultivation level, his hands are successful in urging gold with his hands, and his skin meridians are stretched. If he is strong in luck and blood in his hands, it can also be turned into a big handprint that ordinary people cannot imagine. When the skills are dissipated, it can become normal and cannot be used as the focus of investigation. Otherwise, the county government will conduct a carpet-style search and will turn the murderer out long ago.
The only thing Xiang Yang is worried about now is whether the murderer will run away after finishing his previous big case. After all, hundreds of people died in one go, which will definitely attract the attention of the God-Search Sect. Smart or cautious people rarely stay here.
"Constable Xiang, it's here.-
Xiang Yang's mind turned around and looked at the county government in Dasheng County. It was somewhat similar to Anyuan County. Suddenly, a little kindness arose, and he had the urge to return home.
