Chapter 16 Nine Sons and Ghost Mother

[Continuing from the above, the last book said that Mu Qingming found the mountain god of Yuantong Mountain, and asked some clues about the second charred corpse from the mouth of the mountain god, and also got another news, the murderer of the cremation corpse was stained with demonic energy, from an ancient monster. At the same time, a middle-aged woman came to the provincial police station alone and threatened to turn herself in. The middle-aged woman turned herself in, and Zhao Liang was on duty, and after hearing the woman's simple self-report, Zhao Liang ordered her to be taken into custody. At the same time, he sent Brother Wang to ask Mu Qingming to interrogate this woman. And Mu Qingming was also in the mouth of the god of Yuantong Mountain, and learned that the monster that had years old was a kind of thing that specialized in eating ghosts. 】

The cold wind blew, bringing a chill at the entrance of the police department.

As she said those few words, the middle-aged woman's face remained calm and calm throughout. There was not a hint of panic, nor the slightest hint of nervousness.

It seems that opening people's skulls, taking brains, and taking people's gall or something, is a common thing for middle-aged women; Or for her, there is no guilt or guilt for doing such a heinous thing.

The doorman was stunned, and instantly froze in place, slightly opening his lips but not making a sound. The middle-aged woman smiled indifferently, and the eyes in her eyes never decreased, but increased.

It's not that the little doorman didn't understand what she said, but that he didn't know whether the other party's words were true or false? What's more, after he killed someone, he still came to the door to turn himself in, and the little doorman saw it for the first time.

"Can't you turn yourself in?" Seeing that he didn't move for a long time, and didn't say a word, the middle-aged woman asked with a bit of confusion on her face.

"Someone's coming!" The doorman then relented, but the first thing he did after he reacted was to take two steps back, press his hand on the handle of the pistol pinned to his waist, and shout at the top of his voice, "Murderer, cremation murderer is here." ”。

He didn't know why he was afraid of the middle-aged woman in front of him, maybe the other party could say a murderous thing so definitely but calmly.

His high-pitched shout echoed in the small courtyard, which immediately attracted the policemen on duty in the hall to come out of the house one after another, and looked curiously towards the door with their eyes.

Zhao Liang, who was still discussing the case with Brother Wang in the office, hurriedly rushed out with Brother Wang after hearing the words. After standing next to the doorman, Zhao Liang hurriedly pressed the doorman's hand that was pressed on the handle of the pistol and trembled nervously.

Many alarmed policemen also surrounded them, each with a nervous face like a great enemy, and surrounded the middle-aged women.

"Don't be nervous." Zhao Liang's scolding reassured the doorman a little, and then Zhao Liang turned his eyes to look at the middle-aged woman with a fearless face and asked, "Name?" ”。

"Zhao Qi's." After the middle-aged woman replied lightly, she saw that Zhao Liang was dressed differently from other policemen, as if she was a head, and said in a calm tone: "Report to the official, I did all the recent charred corpse cases in the city; I killed people, and I took away my brains. By the way, I took all their gall and burned them all. ”。

Zhao Liang was also like the doorman when he heard this, first he was a little shocked, then a little dazed, and then he looked at the middle-aged woman in front of him in a daze; After looking up and down seven or eight times, I saw that the other party was a typical working woman. In addition to being middle-aged because of the rough work that is exposed to the wind and sun every day, there are a little more wrinkles on the face, and the skin is a little rougher.

What's more, even if the other party really killed someone, he could still be so calm, this matter had to make Zhao Liang suspicious.

"Where do you live? How do you kill someone? And how did you burn the corpse? And who are the dead? Thinking about it for a moment, Zhao Liang asked again and again.

"It's the people of the small vegetable garden in Kunming." Zhao Qishi, a middle-aged woman, paused, and then blurted out: "They all used a kind of * first, stunned them and then opened their brains, and then used the tools of the pig slashers to take their guts." The first was an old scoundrel in our village who often bullied my daughter; The second is the secret prostitute in our village, she is the most hateful! ”。

Speaking of this, Zhao Qishi clenched his teeth for a moment, and a spark of anger burst out of his eyes, and then said angrily: "She gave my daughter an aphrodisiac, and let the old scoundrel in the village defile my daughter!" ”。

When he finished speaking, Zhao Qi's face was full of anger, and he clenched his fists and trembled.

She tried her best to suppress her anger, but when she thought that her daughter had been ruined by a brute, this anger was like a rushing river rolling in her chest, and it was difficult to suppress it.

And after that, my daughter has been crazy, often in a trance, and when she sees a man, she is frightened and screams.

However, she didn't plan to explain these to Zhao Liang.

"How did you cremate the body?" Zhao Liang then asked again. There is no clue to what Zhao Qishi said; Choosing an old scoundrel and a secret prostitute to start with is indeed not easy to arouse the suspicion of others.

In addition, she said that she used *, so that these two people would not shout if they were stabbed and their heads were opened.

However, although these accounts are reasonable, Zhao Liang still feels that something is wrong; He couldn't say what was wrong.

"There used to be a roast duck roast house in the north of our village, and he had a roast duck oven at home; Later, the family moved out last year, and the house has been vacant, and the old scoundrel was burned in the duck oven by me. It's like roast duck, as soon as the fire is lit, the smell of meat wafts out of the oven! If he weren't a brute, I'd love to feast on him. Zhao Qishi, who was not frightened, said slowly and unhurriedly: "But then I found out that the stove was not very easy to use, and I secretly prostituted that bad woman, so I chose to take advantage of the night to move her body out of the village and burn it in a place where there is no one to burn, just at the northern foot of Yuantong Mountain." ”。

When he spoke, he once again returned to his original understated tone.

Brother Wang listened to it, it was nothing, he followed his master Zhao Liang to solve strange cases repeatedly, and he had never seen any strange way of death, although he was shocked at the moment, but his face was still as usual.

But the doorman had an itchy throat when he heard this, and then he couldn't help retching a few times. He only ate the roast duck in the afternoon, and at this time he heard Zhao Qi's story about burning the corpse in the roast duck oven, and he felt nauseous.

Zhao Liang, the kind of roast duck stove outside Kunming, has seen it in Yiliang, which is famous for roast duck, and it is all built on the wall. And in order to make it easier for people to get in and clean the soot on the furnace wall, the internal space is very large. It's not difficult to let go of a dead person and burn it in all directions.

After Zhao Liang pondered for a while, he slowly asked, "Auntie, do you know that murder costs life?" ”。

"Yes, I am willing to pay for my life." Zhao Qishi smiled indifferently and stretched out his hands in front of Zhao Liang.

"Take it away, take it in." Zhao Liang frowned and sighed, took out the handcuffs around his waist, and put them on Zhao Qi's family.

Brother Wang nodded in response, and when he was about to take Zhao Qi's family away, Zhao Liang stopped him again, walked over and said, "I'll do the work of taking him into custody; You go to the courtyard of the Mu family immediately, even if you knock on the door, you have to call Mu Qingming to me. ”。

"What did you call him for?" After being stunned, Brother Wang asked puzzled.

"You just have to call, this kid is as careful as a hair, it would be better to have him participate in the interrogation." After Zhao Liang finished speaking, he took Zhao Qi's family to the courtyard.

But he didn't see Zhao Qi, who bowed his head slightly, and there was a little nervousness in his eyes between his frowns......

"Ancient monsters?" Mu Qingming furrowed his brows suddenly; He almost knew and knew the ancient monsters with names and surnames, but he really hadn't heard of any monsters older than him appearing in Kunming City.

And a lot of monsters may be because their lives are too long and boring, and now they don't fight and kill, or do bad things that hurt nature and reason; They are even more willing to transform into human form, shuttle between the flow of people in big cities, and work hard to make money to enjoy the bright lights.

Moreover, such a powerful monster must have a strong and rich demonic qi on its body. Even if it was ten miles away, Mu Qingming could sense its existence. Take another 10,000 steps back and say, even if the monster deliberately hides its aura, then unless it doesn't do bad things, once it does bad things and casts evil magic, it will inevitably expose its aura.

But Mu Qingming hadn't noticed any demonic energy in Kunming City at all recently, and he hadn't seen any visions; At the moment, I was even more confused.

"I didn't see wandering souls around the burned bodies, nor did I see the murderer behind him; It stands to reason that the person who was burned was killed, and the loss of his brain was a tragic death. And the tragic ghosts are not hovering on the corpse, they are all haunted by the murderer, but I don't see the soul at all, which is enough to show that this monster is something that specializes in eating souls. Looking at Mu Qingming's frowning brows, he deliberately walked slowly and said: "There are not many monsters that can eat ghosts in the land of Huaxia, I think you think about it as a dragon locker, and you should be able to recall who it is." ”。

The mountain wind blew the hem of Mu Qingming's robe, which was silent, swaying; When the two charred corpses were found, he had Zhao Liang and the police around him, and he couldn't open his eyes to look at the corpses, but he ignored this detail.

After thinking about it carefully, he asked again: "What are the characteristics of the demonic energy that stained the murderer?" ”。

"It's a bit eerie, not quite as sharp and sharp as ordinary demonic energy." After a little reminiscence, the mountain god said slowly: "It is still full of sad feelings; It's a kind of demonic energy that can make humans unhappy. ”。

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Qingming, who was contemplative, remembered that the nine-fingered trickster had said that the murderer had been pointed out by someone to find him and ask for the home remedies for the man's brain porridge.

Moreover, the person who pointed out the murderer was a disciple of the Immortal Dao.

The Tao of Immortality is about longevity, and everything related to life is their goal of study and action. In this way, if it is really the guidance of the Immortal Dao, then the monster should be theirs. In other words, the monster should be something that will give them life.

After the murderer kills someone, the soul of the deceased is eaten by the monster in exchange for the life of the immortal Taoist. Then in addition to the characteristics mentioned by the mountain god, this monster should still be a thing that can give humans a long life.

Thinking of this, Mu Qing's eyes suddenly lit up, and he stared at the eyes of the mountain god and shouted: "Emperor Heli? ”。

"The Emperor Mother?" Mo Han, who had been listening quietly, couldn't help but ask: "Is it the female ghost who specializes in eating children recorded in the Buddhist legend?" ”。

"Yes, the Orientals call her the Nine Sons Ghost Mother again. In ancient times, a celebration party was held for the birth of a Buddha in the royal palace, and 500 people attended the meeting. On the way, she met a pregnant woman, and the woman accompanied her, but she had a miscarriage halfway, and 500 people left her, resulting in the loss of the woman's child. So the resentment drove the woman to swear a poisonous oath that in the next life, she would be reborn in the royal palace city and eat all the children in the city. Mu Qingming nodded her head and patiently explained to her: "This is a legend known to mankind; What I do know is that her soul has become a devil because of her deep resentment. ”。

Does the scorched corpse case have anything to do with Emperor Heli's mother? Is this action planned by Changshengdao to prolong life? Find out what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.
