Chapter 39: Soul Extraction

After Tang Jiang's story was finished, everyone sighed for a while, sighed at the strength of the dragon, guessed the whereabouts of the four zombie ancestors, and then got up to check out, ready to see the little boy's body.

Our original purpose was to see the body of the little boy, but it had been a long time since we were here.

I took out my phone and looked at it, and it was already 12:23.

The proprietress had been waiting impatiently, but she couldn't rush us, so she kept yawning loudly behind the counter.

So when Ma Hongxiang paid the bill, the proprietress had a very unsightly face, a look of disgust, and an expression of "I should have gotten out a long time ago". It is estimated that she has long wanted to close and go home to rest, we have delayed her for so long, and she has not spoken dirty, which is already very cultivated.

Ma Hongxiang couldn't get used to the face of the proprietress, suddenly smiled, and said: "There are twelve of us here, and it took such a little money, which is really cheap." ”

"Yes, yes," Li Xiaogang immediately echoed and said, "Twelve people, it only cost a hundred yuan, and it is only about ten yuan for one person, this family is really kind to do business." ”

In fact, there are only nine of us combined.

Ma Hongxiang and Li Xiaogang are clearly just scaring other little girls.

Sure enough, when the little girl heard their words, her face immediately changed greatly, and she counted us several times, until at last she remained where she was, her eyes full of horror, and her body stiffened and motionless.

"You people are really hateful." Gundam glanced at Ma Hongxiang and Li Xiaogang, and said to the little girl, "Don't be afraid, they are joking with you, there are ten of us - no, no, we are nine people." ”

It was better that he didn't explain, and this explanation made the little girl obviously more frightened.

Hopefully she won't have nightmares when she goes back tonight, hehe.

The body of the little boy was parked in a bungalow behind their unit.

The bungalow looked like it used to be a warehouse, and the entrance was a large iron door, locked with a large lock.

Luckily, Gundam still has the key on him.

The gate of Gundam was locked, and Li Changdeng and Zhang Zhengyi worked together to push the big iron door open.

The big iron door has long been rusted, and when it is pushed open, it makes a "tinkling" sound, which makes the roots of people's teeth go soft.

The room was empty, and there was an echoing sound when you walked.

There was nothing in the empty room except for a bed in the middle of the room, on which was the body of a little boy.

The room was as black as if it had been stained with black ink. Gundam only had a flashlight, and the beam only shone a little bit, and the rest was endless darkness.

But there are many of us, so we are not very afraid.

Nine men gathered around the bed and began to observe the little boy's body.

"Today this body is only temporarily parked here," Gundam's flashlight shone on the little boy's face, slowly moving down, explaining as he said, "Tomorrow, we will send him to the hospital, where the forensic doctor will perform an autopsy on him and further analyze the true cause of his death." ”

The little boy had a beautiful face, but now it had turned lilac, but he did not have any expression of horror and fear, as if he had died very peacefully.

On the left side of his neck, as Gundam said, there was a row of tooth marks and two small holes. Apparently, those two small holes had pierced his carotid artery.

On the arms and feet of the little boy's body, there were deep strangulation marks, which were obviously left by rope binding.

The Nale marks are very obvious and neat, indicating that the person who tied him up was very professional and skillful.

That's pretty much it.

"What do you think?" I looked at Tang Jiang and asked.

Tang Jiang is very shrewd and meticulous, and he has a lot of experience, so it is definitely not wrong to ask his opinion more.

Tang Jiang didn't answer me immediately, but took the flashlight from Gundam and carefully looked at the little boy's body up and down many times.

Then, Tang Jiang finally raised his head, looked at Gundam and said, "Can you tell me about the general situation of the deceased before his death?" ”

"The deceased's name is Jiang Zhixin, who is still a middle school student studying at a school for migrant children near his home, and is in his second year of junior high school this year. According to people in the school, his academic performance is average, his personality is more introverted, and he doesn't play with people much, so he shouldn't make enemies with others. ”

"His parents both work in the high-tech zone, and because they are too far away from home, they usually live in the high-tech zone and do not live with their children. This afternoon, when his father came back to give him living expenses, he found that he had died at home, so he called the police. According to preliminary analysis, the time of death was probably between 9 and 10 a.m. The shape of death, I have already told you before. ”

Tang Jiang frowned tightly and was silent.

Gundam asked tentatively, "Do you have anything else to discover?" ”

Tang Jiang's flashlight shone on the face of the little boy's corpse, and he was silent.

After a long time, he finally asked, "You said that when he died, he was wearing a red shirt and a red skirt?" ”

"Yes." "I also think it's very strange that I don't understand why the murderer did this. ”

Tang Jiang nodded, pointed to the corpse's forehead, and said, "Have you noticed that there is a very small hole in the center of his eyebrows?" ”

Gundam immediately leaned closer and took a closer look for a while, then reached out and rubbed it twice, and said, "yes, I can't see it if I don't look closely, I thought it was a mole or something." Such a small hole shouldn't be the cause of death, right? ”

"This small hole should be pierced with a needle, not to kill people, but to vent the soul." Tang Jiang said.

"Soul drain?" Several voices said strangely, including me.

Li Xiaogang asked: "What is the soul discharge?" ”

Tang Jiang didn't answer, but looked at Gundam and asked, "When this little boy died, was he just thirteen years and thirteen days old?" ”

Gundam thought for a moment, and then said, "I have seen his ID card and know that he is indeed thirteen years old this year, as for whether it is thirteen days...... Then I don't remember. But listening to his mother, it seems that he has not long since his birthday. ”

Tang Jiang asked again: "Are the other two deceased also exactly thirteen years old this year?" ”

"Yes." This time Gundam answered quickly.

Tang Jiang nodded and said, "Then it shouldn't be wrong." ”

Li Xiaogang hurriedly asked, "What's going on then?" ”

Tang Jiang said: "If my guess is correct, this incident should not be done by zombies, nor will it be a love murder case, but there is an ordinary person who has learned some Maoshan Taoist techniques, and under the careful arrangement, he took away the souls of these little boys." ”

"Take his soul?" Several voices said in unison.

Tang Jiang nodded, pointed to the needle hole on the corpse's forehead, and said: "The soul splitting needle is inserted into the top of his head, this is the soul of the soul, it is estimated that the murderer should have a soul and other Taoist magic weapons, such as gourds, boxes and other soul-loading things." ”

Then Tang Jiang pointed to the corpse's body and feet again, and said, "Put on the red clothes of the soul lock for him and tie the soul falling stone, this is the soul retention." ”

Then Tang Jiang pointed to the corpse's hands and said: "Finally, hang it on the beam, because according to Taoism, it is impossible to completely purify the soul, so he must be allowed to leave the ground, and hang on the beam because wood represents life and has the effect of attracting souls, so that the child's soul can be purified!" It's soul attraction. ”

Tang Jiang continued: "This is clearly the trace left by someone in order to take away the soul of this little boy. ”

Gundam pointed to the tooth marks and small holes on the corpse's neck and said, "Then how do you explain this?" ”

Tang Jiang said: "That is the real cause of his death, but it is not the murderer's purpose." He made two small holes there in order to bleed the deceased, so that he would lose too much blood and die. In this way, it can also be mixed up and make us suspect that he was bitten to death by zombies and has nothing to do with ordinary people. If we look it up like this, we will focus on the zombies, and we may even be scared to continue the investigation. ”
