Chapter 145: Poisoning and Mutation
In the Special Cases Division, Shangguan Yinling was not in the mood to ask Jing Xiaoyun why he appeared in Dujing for the time being, but he and Lu Li summarized the location of the monster.
The monster has appeared on the street at night for three consecutive nights, the first victim is a watchman, he was attacked by a monster from the rear when he was fighting in the west of the city, and he died at that time, and in the early morning of the second day, the vendor selling tofu brains in the west of the city found the body, and he was busy reporting the case, because of the special nature of the case, the six doors were directly arraigned, and handed over to their special case division.
The second time there was more than one person who died, at the same time, there were monsters in the west and east of the city, four people died, one survived, and he ran to the six doors to report the crime that night.
Shangguan Yuling looked at the man's wounds, the place where he was bitten was purple and black, and the whole person seemed to have been poisoned.
He had experienced the corpse before, but it was only said that the wound of the deceased was contaminated with a strange poison, but it was not clear what the poison was.
On the third day, that is, yesterday night, there were monsters in the west and east of the city, and nine people were killed and injured.
The current situation is that the monsters are increasing every day, and on the first day there was only one, and by yesterday, it had grown to three or more, and during the day they searched everywhere, but they found nothing, and during the day these monsters disappeared as if out of thin air, and disappeared throughout the capital.
I'm afraid that tonight, more monsters will appear from other directions.
The two waited for a while, not waiting for Jing Xiaoyun first, but waiting for the old man first.
"It's confirmed, there are four monsters in total." Judging from the tooth marks on the deceased's body, there are obviously different tooth marks, and it is currently judged that there should be four monsters.
Judging from the number of watchmen who died on the first day, there should have been only one monster, two on the second day, four on the third day, and so on, and so on, there would have been six or even seven monsters in all corners of the city today.
"This monster has never appeared before, I suspect that it may have just become a monster recently, it is very likely that ordinary people use medicine, these monsters disappeared during the day, I don't think they are hiding, it is very likely that they have become normal people." Lu Li made a bold guess, and as soon as her voice fell, several people were stunned.
"My good granddaughter is right, and I guess the same." The old man nodded, "How can the four monsters hide well in the city, especially when the people are panicking, even if they can't become normal people, they are very likely to have their own residence in the city and hide in it during the day." ”
But as long as they have the psychology of avoidance, it means that they must still be conscious, so why bite and kill people.
Several people were very confused.
After waiting for a while, Jing Xiaoyun was finally late, and the old man told him the general situation, he frowned and shook his head slightly.
"It's not our Mengqi strange soldiers, but like people who are temporarily controlled by drugs."
Their miracle soldiers, once they take the medicine, the whole person will have essential changes, skin color changes, body changes, and the basic appearance of the face will change, but listen to their descriptions. These monsters still know how to hide during the day, but at night, their sanity has basically been lost, and they can kill people without any scruples.
So, these monsters are not the same thing as their strange soldiers.
"The formation of this monster should only be temporary, and the medicinal properties will return to normal after the pass, and if you want him to continue to kill, you need to continue to administer the medicine."
"In that case, there must be someone behind the scenes who keeps drugging these people?"
"Even if it's true. I think that if you pay attention to whether there are any strange people in the vicinity of the crime scene recently, you should find some clues. ”
"Xu Yun, send someone to observe closely near the location of the crime a few days ago, remember to disguise properly, don't startle the snake." Shangguan Yuling frowned slightly, although everything was still uncertain, but he could only investigate according to Jing Xiaoyun's words.
But he always felt that this matter did not seem so simple.
Since the effect of this drug is so strong that it can completely make people lose their minds, it can never be effective for a few hours.
He suspected that such monsters would not come back to their senses, but that their combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced during the day, and they could only hide in dark corners and wait for dark.
Soon, the sky slowly darkened, and in addition to the brothers of the Special Case Division, Lu Li and others were also wandering around the location of the crime.
Now it seems that this group of monsters is bound to come out at night, but it is still unknown where they will move.
However, judging from the current discovery, if the location of this group of monsters is near the place where they hide during the day, then they should not go far, and they will inevitably commit crimes nearby.
Attracting people to wander around the street, Lu Li sat under the wall of the teahouse, holding his forehead and drowsy.
It's almost night, and in the middle of the night, can't that group of monsters come out?
It's extremely weird, when they were disguised, this group of monsters didn't even appear.
Lu Li hid on the second floor of an inn, quietly opened a window crack, and looked at the road downstairs, the whole street was quiet, and there was no sound.
"My lord, did this monster know that we were arresting him, so he deliberately hid?"
Lu Li's eyes were red, if she continued to stay up, she wouldn't be able to wake up tomorrow.
"Wait and see." Shangguan Yinling put down his sword and sat on the Taishi chair in the room, Lu Li was so sleepy that he fell on the bed with his head up.
The bed in this inn is so comfortable......
As soon as Lu Li rolled his eyes, he couldn't control his pajamas and couldn't help falling asleep.
Shangguan Yinling looked at her rude sleeping appearance and couldn't help but laugh.
He thought that this case was about monsters, and she would be very scared, but she didn't expect that her courage was quite big, and she still had the courage to come out and arrest people, but she had more guts, but her spirit was insufficient.
After waiting for a long time, Shangguan Yuling was also a little tired, rubbed his eyebrows, and was about to close his eyes and rest for a while, when he suddenly heard a heart-rending scream in the distance, and he hurriedly got up.
The scream was terrifying, and Lu Li sat up from the bed.
"Wait here for me, don't run around!"
After Shangguan Yinling finished speaking, he pushed open the window and jumped out, heading in the direction where the scream came from.
The window was open, a cool breeze blew in, and the whole inn was quiet, and she was a little scared.
