This change was so unexpected that no one would have thought that such an ordinary person would spontaneously combust for no reason. Rao is Jinyiwei is quite experienced in anti-theft, and he was also shocked when he saw such a burning man rushing at him, although he had a knife in his hand, he couldn't lift it for a while.

In the blink of an eye, the burning man had pounced in front of one of the captains, and in a roar of pain, he suddenly threw the captain to the ground, who was completely stunned. Then, a scream came out of his mouth, and I saw that the fire quickly spread out of the burning man's body, and directly ignited the captain's body.

It wasn't until this scream came out that the stunned people suddenly came back to their senses, but for a while they didn't know where to start, and even because they were worried about their own safety, they retreated instead, for fear that the burning man or his companions would come again and burn themselves.

At this time, Zhao Jie had already galloped over, and when he saw that everyone was stunned, he changed color and yelled and ordered: "Quick, kill him!" "Because he had seen that the burning man had the intention of getting up again at this time, and if he let him pounce on another person, he would cause damage again.

It wasn't until they heard this order that the captains woke up, hurriedly roared, and slashed at the burning man who was still struggling desperately on the ground. I could only hear a loud bang, blood splattered out, and the burning man screamed again, but finally he fell down and could no longer move.

But even though he had been killed, the flames on his body were still burning endlessly, and the brocade-clothed lieutenant who he threw to the ground also rolled on the ground for a while, and after screaming miserably, he was burned beyond recognition, and finally lost his breath.

It wasn't until the two of them lay motionless on the ground for a long time, and even the flames were finally extinguished, that the brocade guards, who had avoided it from afar, relaxed a little and cautiously stepped forward to check the movements of the two.

It seems that the two of them have become charred corpses, and they will not move at all. Zhao Jie mustered up his courage and stabbed twice from a distance with a knife, and the two charred corpses did not move, which made people feel relieved. But the fear and doubt in everyone's hearts are deeper - what is going on?

How can people burn for no reason, is it something that is at work, or is it just an accident? These brocade-clothed guards, who had never been afraid even in the face of fierce enemies, became timid at this time, and they didn't even dare to get too close to the two charred corpses, let alone get close to check the specific situation.

At this moment, there were a few fires in front of them, which really scared everyone, until the firelight was near, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that a team of officers and soldiers patrolling the night also rushed over, looking at the outfit should be people from the Soldiers and Horses.

The other party also saw their appearance clearly, and immediately saluted with some awe: "It turned out to be the adults of the Jinyi Guard." I just heard a scream coming from here, I don't know what happened? As they spoke, they approached, and were immediately attracted by the two charred corpses on the ground, and the look of horror on the faces of the sergeants became more and more intense. Obviously, they thought that these two people were killed by Jinyiwei, and they even had the idea of leaving quickly.

Zhao Jie clenched his fists at them, and then pointed to the two corpses and said, "You heard it well, the screams just now were caused by them, and one of them is still our brother of Jinyiwei." ”

"Huh? What the hell is going on? Seeing that the other party was willing to explain truthfully, these sergeants were relieved, and the officer led by them hurriedly asked.

Zhao Jie simply told the strange scene that happened here just now, and heard that the twenty or thirty soldiers in front of him were also stunned for a while, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time. A few of them were skeptical, apparently not believing the rhetoric.

Although Zhao Jie saw their thoughts, he was not angry. This kind of thing is really too unbelievable, and if he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed what others said. So after only a few words of explanation, he said: "This matter looks quite strange, we have to bring these two people back to the Zhenfu Division to check, I don't know what you think?" ”

"Naturally, please take care of it." The officer nodded in response. Such strange things are related to Jinyiwei again, and the most appropriate way to deal with it is naturally to dissociate itself from it. Therefore, after some politeness, this group of officers and soldiers left in a hurry, and did not dare to stay here again.

As for those brocade guards, although they were still nervous in their hearts, after confirming that the two corpses would not move any more, they still followed Zhao Jie's instructions and found wooden planks to carry them to the Zhenfu Division. However, Zhao Jie was still a little more careful, leaving two subordinates to guard the place in case anything went wrong.

By the time they returned to the Zhenfu Division with the two charred corpses, it had already passed the third watch. In the middle of the night, of course, it is impossible to continue the inspection, so I can only leave it for tomorrow to report the matter to Lu Dudu.

@@@@@

Early the next morning, when Lu Zhen came to the Zhenfu Division, he found that the expressions of the people left behind last night were very nervous. Just as he sat down and was about to call someone to come and inquire, Zhao Jie ran over with a strange look and told him the weird and terrifying scene he experienced last night.

Lu Zhen sat there and listened to him explain the things before and after, and he frowned unconsciously: "There is such a thing? Can you see it all? ”

"It is true that many of our brothers watched as the fellow suddenly caught fire, and then he threw down one of his brothers and set him on fire. By the time we think of saving him, he's already ...... It was a momentary negligence on the part of the lowly position, which led to Zhang Liang's murder, and please punish him! As he spoke, he knelt on one knee and looked like he was reproachful.

Seeing this, Lu Zhen got up and walked in front of him and helped him up: "If what you said is true, it happened suddenly, and it is reasonable that you are not able to respond for a while." The most important thing now is to find out what the truth is, not to hold you accountable. By the way, was there anyone else around you at the time? Did you find anything out of the ordinary? ”

"This ......" Zhao Jie recalled for a moment, then shook his head and said, "This is something that I haven't found." At that time, the lowly rank only saw such a man walking alone in a strange way, and was about to come up to ask him, when he suddenly ran up screaming, and then his body was on fire...... "These words reminded him of the scene of last night, and he could not help but shiver again.

Lu Jin's eyes narrowed: "In other words, you can almost confirm that the person burned himself, and not someone attacked him with fire nearby?" ”

"Positive...... Exactly. So many of us were there watching him burn, and if anyone was really making trouble, there should be nothing to hide. Zhao Jie nodded.

Lu Zhen also nodded: "From this point of view, this matter is indeed very strange." As he spoke, he noticed that the other party looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, so he said, "Do you have anything else to discover, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"Humiliation is just a feeling...... Could this be some kind of demon, otherwise how could a good person suddenly burn up? Zhao Jie said with an uneasy face.

For people at this time, gods, Buddhas, and demons all believe in them, so when unexplained strange things happen around them, they will consciously attribute it to demons. But Lu Zhen obviously doesn't see it that way, after all, he has received more than ten years of scientific education, and he has long believed that there are no ghosts and gods in this world. However, he was not in a hurry to deny this statement, but said: "It is too early to say whether it is a demon or a man-made person." But now that such a thing has happened at this juncture, we Jinyiwei must find out the matter, otherwise how can we give Your Majesty an explanation? ”

"But...... Both of them have been burned to charcoal, but how can they be checked? ”

"Starting with the corpse, of course. Let's go, call Tang Lian, and go to see these two corpses together. If it is artificial, it will always leave some clues. As he spoke, Lu Zhen had already stepped out. Seeing this, Zhao Jie hesitated slightly, and followed.

After a while, a few people came to a remote brick house, which was a makeshift morgue that came in handy today.

As soon as Lu Zhen and the others entered the door, they smelled a pungent scorching smell, which made several people's brows furrow. And when their eyes fell on the two charred black corpses on the ground, even Tang Lian, a veteran who had inspected many corpses, couldn't help but show a trace of fear at this time.

However, Lu Jin, who was very calm at this time, quickly approached, squatted down, and carefully observed the two corpses.

After looking up and down, he sighed softly: "This fire is so powerful, it can actually burn people like this, not to mention clothes, even the body and face are completely unrecognizable." ”

"Yes, at that time, the lowly rank felt that this fire was very evil, not only did it burn immediately, but it burned extremely fast, and it could burn a big living person like this in a blink of an eye...... Zhao Jie said with some fear.

At this time, Tang Lian also squatted down to carefully inspect the two charred corpses, and looked at them for a long time, but he didn't say a word. Lu Zhen couldn't help but ask, "What, didn't you find anything?" ”

"Forgive me, my lord, these two corpses have been burned so thoroughly that there is hardly anything out of sight. However, one thing can be confirmed by the lowly position, that is, there are no other fatal wounds on their bodies, and they should have been burned to death by this fire. ”

"Needless to say? Many of us watched them burn to death......" Zhao Jie muttered quietly beside him.

Lu Zhen didn't pay attention to this sentence, but suddenly sniffed hard, and then reached out and rummaged around the corpse a few times: "Do you feel a little weird?" Naturally, these words were said to Tang Lian.

Tang Lian was originally a corpse to be examined with bated breath, but when he saw Lu Jin's action, he also tried to sniff the two corpses a few times, and then his face became solemn, pointing to one of them and saying, "The smell of this corpse is a little weird!" ”
