Chapter 90: The Cupworm and the Grasshopper

"The first person to find the body was a resident of this area, who saw it when they got up early to do their work." Zhu Yan was talking endlessly beside me.

I nodded and quietly stepped aside. His hands were sealed on his chest, and he read out loud: "The edict of the Supreme Lord, with my god." On the call for the jade girl, the collection is ominous. Ghosts and ghosts, diving and hanging ropes, bright and dark death, unjust death, gossip shines, what god does not ambush, what ghost dares to be? Come quickly, as hasty as the law. The words fell, and there was not the slightest sound around.

This corpse is already weird, and now that the soul can't be found, it seems that things are not simple.

Walking back to Qu Xin's side, I took her pulse worriedly and asked, "Do you want to go to the hospital?" ”

She smiled at me, her face still not looking good: "It's okay, it'll be fine in a while." ”

"Then you get in the car and sit, don't come out. I was calling Liu Qiming and asking him to come over. ”

I finished admonishing her and went back to the corpse. Zhu Yan was organizing everyone to check the clues around him, and I walked up to him and said, "Hurry up and burn this corpse first." ”

As soon as the words fell, who knew that this kid immediately refused with excitement: "Then what's the matter, the case hasn't been solved yet, and this corpse is the only evidence now." You can't burn it, it's not in accordance with the rules. ”

As soon as I heard this, I was also anxious: "Rules for your uncle, when you let her eat, take your rules to the Netherworld!" ”

"I'm not that evil, am I? Besides, aren't you still here? ”

I took a deep breath and calmed down. He said in a pleasant tone as much as possible: "This female corpse was originally sealed. But now, after being in the sun for so long, the seal has long since lapsed. I'm afraid that in less than half a day, she will have a corpse mutiny. She was skinned by life when she was alive. The weight of the grievance can be imagined. If the corpse is transformed, I don't know what will become of it. Even if I can save it, there will inevitably be casualties. You have no other way now, if you want everyone to be safe, you must burn her before she is still alive. ”

Zhu Yan looked at me, and his eyes gradually dimmed.

After half a ring, I sighed and reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "I know you want to solve the case, but even if you keep her, you can't find more clues." And it's not that simple, it is estimated that something new will happen soon. ”

When the words fell, Zhu Yan was stunned for a moment, and then opened his mouth with a very ugly face: "You mean that she is not the only one who has died?" ”

"Wait and see!" I didn't say anything, turned around and went to the residence of the local police to rest.

Before leaving, he heard Zhu Yan behind him, ordering everyone to set fire and burn corpses.

In the evening, Liu Qiming, Mu Feng and He Ling drove over together.

I told everyone about what happened.

Then, he handed the photo of the female corpse to Liu Qiming, and said to him: "You check and see if you can find information about her in the underworld." ”

Liu Qiming looked at it for a moment, and then left with the photo.

Mu Feng and He Ling stayed quietly aside, and they hadn't said a word since they came in.

Qu Xin and I glanced at each other, and asked the two of them, "What's wrong with you two today?" Why not a word? ”

He Ling turned his head to the side with a somewhat unnatural expression, and did not make a sound. Mu Feng also looked slightly embarrassed, and smiled before saying, "No, haven't I always been so cold?" ”

I gave him a speechless look: "It's shameless." ”

As he spoke, Zhu Yan walked in from outside. After greeting Mu Feng, he turned to me and said, "The body has been burned." ”

I nodded and asked him, "Did anything happen?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just that halfway through the fire, a few "squeaks" suddenly came from inside the fire. It sounded like the cry of some kind of bug. ”

Hearing this, I suddenly stood up from my chair: "I finally understand. ”

"Got what?" Everyone looked at me with a look of bewilderment.

"I understand how they managed to skin people alive and still preserve their bodies so well."

"How?" Zhu Yan asked me excitedly.

"The sound you are talking about comes from a bug called an earthworm. This is a centipede, which is a type of centipede, but it is much smaller than a normal centipede. Yellowish-brown in color, they live in dark, damp places, and they become parasitic when they are young. It is usually slow growing and has poor reproductive ability, but it has a long lifespan, so it is often used to make cup worms. Although they are not very toxic, they have a very powerful talent. It can be combined with the cup technique to preserve the freshness of the corpse. ”

"You mean, this female corpse has a cup worm in her body? Who put it in? Zhu Yan looked at me in surprise and asked.

"Yes, there are cup worms, and there is more than one. As for who put it in, that's what you need to look up now. ”

Zhu Yan nodded, and after half a sound, he suddenly realized: "You mean, the person who released the cup worm is the murderer?" ”

I shook my head and said, "I don't know if the person who used the cup technique is the murderer, but it is certain that he is definitely inseparable from this matter." ”

"I'll check it out now." As he spoke, he hurriedly ran out.

I took a few steps forward to stop him: "Don't worry, have you figured out where to start?" ”

Hearing this, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and looked at me with an inexplicable expression.

It's really unteachable, I gave him a look and looked in the direction He Ling was sitting.

This kid suddenly came to his senses, walked up to He Ling, hugged his hands and bowed deeply: "Please also trouble Miss He Ling to help, give me a hexagram, in what direction should I investigate?" ”

He Ling glanced at him, and replied in an unhappy tone: "Now you know that you are looking for my help?" Didn't you say that I was all crooked? ”

"It's been a long time, let's not take out the old yellow calendar and turn it over, I'm sincerely asking for your help now." said, busy with a smiling face, with a low posture to flatter.

He Ling glanced at him, stood up and said, "Give me a picture of the female corpse." ”

When the words fell, Zhu Yan hurriedly took out a photo from his arms and handed it over, and kept saying thank you in his mouth.

He Ling took the picture and paced to the middle of the ground. Stepping on the gossip, hands on the chest, pinching fingers to calculate.

After half a ring, he spoke: "First of all, I must tell you that this hexagram is a big murderer. Secondly, according to the hexagram, you can go southwest to investigate. ”

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Miss Heling." Before he could finish speaking, Zhu Yan had already run out.
