Chapter 22: The Headless Corpse

The knocking on the door continued. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Many of the residents were terrified.

A blood-red helmet that jumps and rolls on its own, and anyone who sees it will be scared.

Not to mention that at two or three o'clock in the morning, an unknown person knocked on the door immediately behind to ask, and many people were afraid to open the door, dare not make a sound, and did not dare to answer.

Even the police did not dare to call the police, for fear of being heard by people outside the door.

Qiangzi, who was sleeping in Wen Zhong's room, had already fainted with fright, and if Wenzhong was awake, he would definitely laugh at Qiangzi again. But Wen Zhong was like a dead pig, lying motionless on the bed.

If it weren't for the slight ups and downs in Wen Zhong's chest, others would really think that Wen Zhong was hanging.

Night.

It's deep, in Wenzhong's room.

A translucent illusory figure suddenly floated out of Wen Zhong's body, and he walked straight towards the door. Before passing through the door, Wen Zhong looked back at the strong son lying on the bed, and then looked at his body.

He took out two rune papers from the void, and the rune paper fell lightly on the two people's bodies. After making sure it was okay, the figure made its way through the wall into the hallway.

It is the soul of Wen Zhong.

Not because of anything else, but when Wen Zhong was lying in bed and preparing to rest, he received a task that was suddenly notified by the system.

"The system triggers the ghost hunting side quest."

"Catch the demons!"

"Start the Yang Soul Separation Technique in advance and handle the case as a yin. Time before the rooster crows, the reward is unknown! Failure will be deducted for one year. ”

"Do you want to take the task?"

Wen Zhong, who had been thinking about it for a long time, finally decided to accept the task after Qiangzi fainted.

Let's not talk about whether you can really catch the evil ghost, the key Yang Soul Separation Technique in the mission prompt is enough to attract Wen Zhong. Not to mention that there are unknown rewards, a mysterious treasure chest before has already made Wen Zhong taste the sweetness.

Anyway, it is not a mandatory task, and after deducting Yang Shou, there should also be an option to reward Yang Shou.

After accepting the task, Wen Zhong's skill system added a soul separation technique.

Soul Separation Technique: Separation of oneself and the souls of others, and the duration of the wandering in the yang world requires the power of the soul. You can hold specific items and travel between the yin and yang worlds.

As for what the specific item was, Wen Zhong thought for a long time before he thought that the jade plate he got should be a specific item. After all, the guardian identity jade card is to prove one's identity and position.

In fact, it's really hard to pretend to sleep.

Just now, Qiangzi's pitiful appearance, Wen Zhong really wanted to help him.

Wen Zhong, who was afraid of startling the snake, had no choice but to secretly use the soul separation technique and leave his body. After taking a long turn around the building, a black figure was spotted, standing in a dark corner.

Wen Zhong, who was startled by the helmet in the afternoon, suspected that someone was playing a ghost in his heart, and he kept an eye on it.

I didn't expect it to be true.

The black shadow hid in a dark corner, dressed as a simple Taoist priest, wielding a peachwood sword in his hand, waving it in his mouth, and stepping on strange steps under his feet.

Wen Zhong stood in place and watched for a long time, not daring to alarm this person, as a soul body, he didn't know if the other party had any tricks to deal with him. This person is casting a spell here in the middle of the night, is it related to the blood-red helmet in the corridor?

Wen Zhong didn't say anything, but still returned to his room leisurely. Want to see what this person is trying to do?

An illusory figure without a head in the hallway, walking step by step, knocking on the door from door to door, asking where his helmet was?

Rao is Wenzhong is not afraid of ghosts, and he is also a little hairy in his heart.

This man must have died a miserable death, his head is gone, and he is still looking for his helmet.

The only advantage of the Soul Separation Technique is that as long as you don't want to show up, even a ghost can't discover Wen Zhong's existence. As a member of the same kind, Wen Zhong didn't dare to follow too closely.

And so it went on until about four o'clock in the morning.

Wen Zhong, who was a little anxious in his heart, never found out what the intentions of this ghost who had no head to find a helmet again, and why he harassed the residents here, and he was also full of doubts in his heart.

Around four o'clock in the morning, as the sky was getting brighter, the headless ghost finally gave up knocking on the door and went straight through the wall, drifting in a certain direction.

Wen Zhong didn't want to give up, and fought for the fate of being deducted from a year's life, and followed closely.

I didn't see the figure of the mysterious man on the road, but I saw a familiar scene, a familiar place.

This is the place where Wen Zhong saved people at the beginning, that is, by the small river.

The headless ghost disappeared before it entered the river, Wen Zhong jerked in his heart, and then disappeared into the river, and did not find the ghost. Instead, I saw a motorcycle at the bottom of the river, and there was a man pressed under the car, without a head.

Wen Zhong was about to move forward to identify it, when a huge shout suddenly came from heaven and earth.

"Wenzhong, Zhongzi, wake up ......"

This voice Wen Zhong is very familiar, it is Qiangzi calling himself, and there is a tremor in his voice. Wen Zhong's soul twisted slightly, and he was sucked back into his body in an instant.

When I opened my eyes, I was back in the rental house.

Qiangzi was sitting on the bed, patting Wen Zhong with one hand: "Zhongzi, wake up, there is a police knock on the door." ”

"Police?" Wen Zhong pretended to have just woken up, rubbed his eyes in confusion, and sat up.

When I heard it, someone was knocking on the door.

Bang Bang Bang!

"Is anyone home? We are the police, investigating something. Someone shouted softly outside the door.

"Here we are." Wen Zhong hurriedly got up, and he was also puzzled in his heart that the police came early in the morning, what were they doing?

When I opened the door, the two people standing at the door knew each other, it was Wang Shu and Zhang Xu who had looked for me before.

It's just that there was a commotion in the hallway, and many people gathered around, staring at a doorway blocked by a banner, desperately trying to see what was going on inside.

The tip of his nose also smelled a little bloody and asked, Wen Zhong meowed, and then let in, "Please come in." "Let these two men into the house.

Wen Zhong's confused expression, Wang Shu and the two of them could see it clearly, and there was a man with a strong body standing in the room, and he didn't look like a bad person.

"Who is this?" Wang Shu was the first to speak.

"Qiangzi, Chen Qiang, is my comrade-in-arms." Wen Zhong replied, and while inviting someone to sit down, he went to open the window for ventilation, and beckoned Qiangzi to bring water for people to drink.

"Well, there was a homicide here last night, and we want to investigate." Wang Shu got straight to the point and asked directly.

Wen Zhong was shocked in his heart, remembering that he had seen the door blocked by a banner before, and instantly thought of the headless corpse that was pressed at the bottom of the small river.

Before he opened his mouth to answer, the strong son on the side was already screaming.

"Homicide?" Qiangzi hurriedly sat opposite Wang Shu and the two: "Do you know, I drank with Zhongzi until two o'clock last night, and after I came back from drinking, I was ready to sleep, you ...... Do you know what we're up against? ”

"What?"

Zhang Xu on the side took out his notebook and hurriedly recorded.

"Tadako drank too much and fell asleep, I drank better than him, and I didn't fall asleep. It was almost two o'clock in the middle of the night, and it was almost three o'clock, and there were people who walked around the corridor without sleeping, and the noisy people couldn't sleep. And there's more...... And that helmet, you know, blood red, it jumps on the ground on its own, and many of the residents in the corridor saw it and were too scared to open the door. ”

Wang Shu frowned and glanced at Zhang Xu, and continued to ask, "Is there anything else?" ”

"Yes, you wait for me to finish." Qiangzi swallowed his saliva, with a slight fear on his face: "It was hot at that time, and many people were so fried that they couldn't sleep, and so did I." I was so scared by the helmet that I couldn't sleep, and then someone came out and knocked on the door, knocking door to door. ”

"Do you know what this man is talking about? He's looking for his own helmet...... Door-to-door is asking, if you don't believe it, you can go door-to-door to investigate. The more Qiangzi said, the worse Wang Shu's face became.

As a people's policeman, the theory of ghosts and gods is complete nonsense. But something strange happened yesterday, and it happened again today. And everything has something to do with the young man named Wenzhong in front of him, either in contact with him, or as a neighbor.

Wang Shu and the others looked at Wen Zhong with a little wrong eyes.

"Alas, what kind of eyes do you have, why don't you believe it?" Qiangzi looked at the expressions of Wang Shu and the others, and could see that the two of them clearly did not believe what they said.

As everyone knows, Wang Shu and the others are suspicious of Wen Zhong.

"What do you think about this?" Wang Shu didn't answer, but stared at Wen Zhong who was sitting on the bed.

Wen Zhong scratched his head, yawned and asked, "You haven't even explained the situation clearly, how can I answer you?" ”

"Someone called the police this morning saying that someone was harassing the residents to rest and was suspected of being a thief. After we went to the police, when we recorded the residents and checked them one by one, we found that no one of the tenants in one of the households answered.

And smelled a strong smell of blood in this household, and after slamming the door open, it was found that the tenant had been beheaded. To be precise, only the head remains, and there is no body. ”

"The only remaining skull still wears a blood-red helmet."

Wang Shu lightly described what had happened, and his eyes were fixed on Wen Zhong.

"Hiss......" The strong son on the side took a sharp breath of cold air, and muttered to himself with a pale face: "No wonder I saw a blood-red helmet jumping last night, and then I heard someone knocking on the door to look for his helmet, it turned out to be looking for his own head." ”

"Sure enough, there are ghosts!" After Qiangzi finished speaking, he rolled his eyes and fainted directly.

Wen Zhong hurriedly helped Qiangzi on the side, and Wang Shu helped Qiangzi to the bed, Wen Zhong was quite embarrassed: "My buddy is fine, but I'm afraid of ghosts and ......."

Wang Shuzheng is upright, he has been handling the case for decades, and he definitely doesn't believe it from the bottom of his heart, but some things are indeed happening in front of him, and he has to believe it if he doesn't believe it.

"Liu Wei has woken up and explained everything." Wang Shu suddenly talked about Liu Wei, and he didn't know what his intentions were.

Wen Zhong nodded, "It's good." ”

"Now our criminal investigation team has been investigating and collecting evidence at the scene of the room, but has not found any useful clues. What your comrades-in-arms said is basically true, and many residents have also responded with the same information. This makes it exponentially more difficult to solve the case...... Alas! Wang Shu stared at Wen Zhong and sighed secretly: "Director Zhang said that I will definitely be able to help you if I look for you, I don't know what your opinion is?" ”
