After listening to Xu Yan's words, Li Hui was stunned: "We can contact Shuchuan Lianhua Hospital, they have psychiatric qualifications." However, Director Xu, do you really believe what Zhang Nan said?

I think this is clearly made up by him to exonerate himself! Director Xu, this person, we have seen a lot when we are handling cases, those suspects who have been arrested by us, they often talk nonsense, like to make up some ethereal and ethereal things, such as a white-bearded old man instructed him to do it, and often say that there are evil ghosts that confuse them, and say that they are drunk and don't remember anything - in short, these are their common quibbles, and they are not worth studying. Anyway, the facts of this guy's crime are very clear, and there is no obstacle for him to admit guilt or not. ”

In Li Hui's view, Zhang Nan's remarks were nothing more than a quibble after the murderer was arrested, and this kind of confession was of little value. A confession like this, any front-line criminal policeman can see his falsehood, and teach him to be a new person in minutes, but Xu Yan is still very patient listening to his nonsense, and is still seriously considering who that woman is - alas, this Director Xu, I heard that he has a big background, and he is the person in charge of the central investigation team, but after all, he is still too young and inexperienced, and he is so easily fooled by the nonsense of criminals!

Xu Yan shook his head, and he said simply: "Things are not so simple - Officer Li, you also worked in the task force before, right?" ”

"Yes, I am also a member of the bureau's task force and the deputy head of the criminal police detachment. At that time, Huang Tou was the team leader, and I was his assistant. Now that Huang Tou has died in his post, Boss Deng asked me to temporarily take charge of the work of the task force - Director Xu. Do you have any instructions? ”

Xu Yan diǎn head: "I know that your public security organs have a procedure for identifying suspects. It is to put the photos of the perpetrators in the photos of more than a dozen people and let the witnesses see them. Let's see if we can pick the right suspect - this procedure, Captain Li, you know, right? ”

Li Hui laughed - for a front-line criminal police officer like him, this identification procedure is as simple as 1 plus 1 equals, and he doesn't know how many times he has operated it. He smiled and said, "Of course I know, Director Xu, do you think it's necessary to do it?" ”

"Captain Li, I have a guess that needs to be confirmed - I want the murderer Zhang Nan to conduct a testimonial appraisal to identify who the woman he met was. ≮dǐng≮diǎn≮小≮艮語,.2←3.≠os_(); …… Belch. Captain Li, don't have such a strange expression, I do doubt that what Zhang Nan said is true. ”

Li Hui shook his head again and again, in his opinion, Zhang Nan's statement had too many flaws, how could a normal healthy adult not remember what he did an hour ago? Zhang Nan's performance is nothing more than trying to pretend to be a mentally ill person who can't control himself to get away with it. How could Director Xu believe such an obvious and ridiculous lie? That's a lot of work.

But the other party is the person in charge of the investigation of the case, Boss Deng is polite to others, and Li Hui is not good. He reluctantly said, "Okay, since Director Xu insists on this, then I'll arrange a testimony—uh." However, Director Xu. Who is the suspect? Whose picture are we going to put in it? ”

"Huang Dan, put Huang Dan's photo in. That's it. ”

"Huang Dan? Who's that? Li Hui was stunned for a moment, and then realized: "Oh, I remember, isn't that the girl who disappeared in the murder case of Zhang Jingwan?" But isn't she dead? ”

The matter was too complicated, and Xu Yan didn't bother to talk to Li Hui, he said bluntly: "Li Zhi, how about it, can you find a photo of Huang Dan?" I remember, there are in the files of the task force. ”

Li Hui's face changed slightly: "Director Xu, are you joking with me?" What's the point of putting a picture of a dead man in the forensics? Are you saying that Zhang Nan met a dead man? Isn't that hell? ”

Xu Yan said lightly: "Is it a hell, let's let Zhang Nan admit it first." ”

Seeing Xu Yan so calm and confident, thinking that the other party insisted on putting a photo of a dead man into the identification forensics-Li Hui couldn't help but be awe-inspired, he suddenly felt that the temperature in the early morning was surprisingly cold, he shivered, but he couldn't help but look around for a while, looking at the dark night, he faintly palpitated, but wrapped his clothes tightly.

According to Xu Yan's request, Li Hui found a photo of Huang Dan - there was already information about the victim in the file of the task force - and then he put Huang Dan's photo into eleven other photos of girls, and the twelve photos were all pasted on a piece of paper, and he took them to Xu Yan: "Director Xu, this time we will arrange a group of twelve people to identify Zhang Nan, is this okay?" ”

Xu Yan glanced at it and replied casually: "No problem, so be it." Then, he casually diǎn the photo numbered three, and asked, "Captain Li, this is Huang Dan, right?" ”

Seeing Xu Yan casually posting a photo of Huang Dan, Li Hui was secretly surprised, and he asked, "Director Xu, you haven't seen Huang Dan, how do you know that this photo is her?" ”

Xu Yan was stunned for a moment, and then, he smiled bitterly and waved his hand: "Because I'm also a hell - you take this to Zhang Nan first." ”

The identification results came out quickly, and as soon as the identification paper full of photos was sent to Zhang Nan, he immediately pointed to the photo numbered "3" and shouted: "This is the person!" The person I met was her! ”

Zhang Nan shouted like this, Li Hui's face immediately turned pale, and he asked, "Zhang Nan, are you sure?" Would you like to take a closer look? ”

Zhang Nan resolutely diǎn head: "Don't look at it, what I met is this woman!" ”

Hearing Zhang Nan's resolute attitude, including Li Hui, several police officers of the special task force present all looked at each other with strange expressions. There was a faint taste of fear in their eyes - worship ghosts and gods and stay away, the fear of this dark realm, that is the mentality of ordinary people, even the police are not exempt from vulgarity.

Compared with the shocked criminal police, Xu Yan seemed quite calm and calm - such a result was originally expected by him, but now, it is just that his expectations have been confirmed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The progress of the investigation here quickly alarmed the higher-ups. Hearing the report of his subordinates, Deng Bonan quickly came over, and he asked politely, "Director Xu." I heard, there's progress here? Found something weird? ”

Xu Yan was sitting on a stone chair with his head down and smoking. Seeing Deng Bonan coming, he politely moved out of the way: "Director Deng." Please take a seat—Officer Lee has already reported back to you, right? ”

"Well, Xiao Li just told me, he said that the murderer Zhang Nan claimed to have met a ...... before committing the crime Should the victim already be dead? He also said, Director Xu, you seem to have estimated this—"

Deng Bonan sat down next to Xu Yan, he also took out a cigarette, borrowed fire from Xu Yan, but asked lightly: "Director Xu, Zhang Nan recognized the missing person in a case." It seems to be called Huang Dan, right? What's going on here? ”

Deng Bonan didn't know what the results of the verification meant, but Xu Yan understood: it meant that he was going to face a most terrible enemy.

If "Huang Dan" is still like the previous monster spirit, fixed "possession" on a person and cannot be transferred casually, then it is nothing, as long as he destroys the possessed puppet, the monster will also be destroyed, and it can't be a disaster.

But the problem is that the horror of "Huang Dan" lies in. Not only can it "possess" humans, but it can also leave freely. Even if he exterminated the possessed humans, he would not be able to do the slightest harm to the spirit of "Huang Dan" - just like Zhang Nan, when he failed to assassinate and was captured by the police. The spirit of "Huang Dan" immediately left his body, and even if he shot Zhang Nan a hundred times, it would be harmless to "Huang Dan" at all.

The enemy can be separated by tens of millions, and it is impossible to prevent it. But he couldn't find an enemy at all. From now on, he not only has to guard against Huang Dan's spiritual attack. You should also be wary of your comrades-in-arms around you—just like Zhang Nan, those soldiers and policemen who are supposed to protect themselves. At any moment, you may turn around and shoot at yourself, and you will never find a safe place again, and you will never have peace.

Thinking that he was under the threat of the enemy and wanted to fight back, but he couldn't find the enemy at all, Xu Yan was upset. He wiped his face tiredly and asked, "Director Deng, have you seen the story of "Strange Tales from Liaozhai"?" ”

"Talking about different things? That seems to be about ghosts and youkai, right? I haven't paid attention to these ghostly things - Director Xu, why did you suddenly mention this? ”

"Then, Director Deng, have you ever heard of the word 'seizure'?"

"Takeaway?" Deng Bonan repeated the word, and his face changed slightly: "Director Xu, shouldn't you be talking about those ghosts...... You mean 'borrowing the corpse to resurrect the soul', right? ”

"Resurrection of a corpse? Well, that makes sense. Xu Yan took a puff of cigarette, and he said bluntly: "Let me put it simply, the missing girl Huang Dan, on that night, she should have been killed - she was either dead, or not dead, I can't be sure, and then, there is a very evil thing, it occupies Huang Dan's soul and seizes Huang Dan's body control, so Huang Dan is completely transformed into a puppet of that evil thing-uh, Director Deng, you said "borrowing corpses to return souls", probably similar to that. ”

Listening to Xu Yan's explanation, Deng Bonan's face changed-no one who can be the director of the public security bureau has a bad IQ: "Director Xu, you mean that the reason why Zhang Nan did the thing of shooting and killing people is because he was also manipulated by that evil thing...... That control zhì up? ”

"For now, that's how it should be. I think the situation should be like this: when Zhang Nan went out, he ran into 'Huang Dan' - of course, in fact, he came across the evil object that controlled Huang Dan's body, and the evil thing briefly occupied Zhang Nan's soul, and controlled his body to complete the action of shooting at me. Then, when Zhang Nan was arrested by us, the evil thing left again, and Zhang Nan returned to normal - in a sense, this is also a kind of sacrifice. ”

Deng Bonan's eyes narrowed, he sat next to Xu Yan, smoking a cigarette motionlessly, and the cigarette butt was extinguished in the dark. After a long time, he slowly diǎn his head, and then shook his head again: "Director Xu, I probably understand what you mean, but I can't accept it." According to you, the real murderer of this shooting murder case is Huang Dan? - Oh no, a ghost, should I say it? ”

"It can't be said to be a ghost, it should be said to be some kind of powerful spiritual power, this storage zài is stored in the way of a soul, it is good at spiritual attacks, it can occupy the human body, and control the human being to do what it wants - well, that's pretty much it."

"But how is this possible?"

Xu Yan turned his head to look at Deng Bonan, and he said in a deep voice: "Director Deng, Huang Dan should have died, why didn't she die?" Zhang Nan, an officer who has no grievances with me, why did he shoot me? Director Deng, how do you explain these? ”

Listening to Xu Yan's questioning, Deng Bonan was silent.

He had to admit that Xu Yan did have a point: an honest and down-to-earth and diligent grassroots platoon commander, a lieutenant officer who graduated from a military academy with a simple background, has always been excellent, and he has no grievances with Xu Yan and Huang Shan, and he has never even met before, but he just did such a vicious case as shooting the head of the central investigation team, this matter is too weird, and Huang Dan's mysterious appearance......

He diǎn head: "Yes, there are too many things in this case that cannot be explained. However, Director Xu, I still don't understand, even if what you said is true, there is an evil Cun Zài who controls Zhang Nan's body and carries out an assassination operation against Director Xu, but the evil Cun Zài has no grudge against Director Xu, why does it want to kill Director Xu? ”

"I don't understand why that guy assassinated me. However, Director Deng, if you say that I have no grudge against it, you are wrong. Xu Yan turned his head, and he glanced in the direction of the woods, where the majestic figure of the giant snake's corpse was lying horizontally in the woods.

Following Xu Yan's gaze, Deng Bonan suddenly understood, and he was dumbfounded: "Director Xu, do you mean that the evil thing that can take away the beast, it is a companion with this monster?" That evil thing, because Director Xu, you killed this strange snake, it ...... It's here to seek revenge on you, Director Xu? This...... Impossible, right? ”

In Deng Bonan's view, although this giant snake is terrifying and shocking, this is something he can barely accept - this huge snake animal is not without precedent, it is said that a giant python with a length of more than 100 meters has been found in the Amazon jungle, and there is also a giant snake called "Ba Snake" in the ancient Chinese legend of the Classic of Mountains and Seas - but in the final analysis, it is still an animal.

According to Xu Yan, this monster not only has a terrifying size and strength, but even knows how to use clever tricks to assassinate specific targets - this level of intelligence has caught up with humans, right?

Deng Bonan's face was cloudy and changeable, and after a long time, he slowly shook his head: "Director Xu, you said, it was the companion of this giant snake who sent someone to assassinate you?" I really can't accept that. ”

Xu Yan smiled bitterly: "Director Deng, you will believe it - next, the facts will prove me right." ”

"Huh? Next? ”

Looking at the dark woods, Xu Yan's expression was gloomy, and he said word by word: "If my expectations are not bad - Zhang Nan, he is just the first, and soon, more Zhang Nan will appear." ”
