Chapter 15: Ghost Baby
I shook my head with a wry smile and put the mud balls in my homework book and put them in my crossbody bag.
As soon as I walked out of the cremation room, I saw the division captain answering a phone call, her brows became tighter and tighter, and after hanging up the phone, she looked at me with a low face and said: "There is also a bizarre murder case in the town next door, and Caixia and Heizi and I rushed over immediately; Xiao Shao stays, and the two of you will lead the police in the town to catch the ghost baby before dawn tomorrow. ā
"Before dawn tomorrow, this is too much of a hurry, right?"
"Do you want to see the tragedy of a pregnant woman's belly being dissected and a baby being devoured?"
I was stunned for a moment, and then sighed softly: "IāI'll try my best." ā
"Not as much as possible, but as sure!"
As he was talking, two cars drove in from outside, one was a police car from our police station, and the other was a Jinling license plate, and it was a very tall off-road vehicle.
When he saw the car, the division captain turned his head to look at Zeng Caixia: "You told her that I was here?" ā
"How dare I say it, it must have been said by Director Qi, after all, only Director Qi and the people in our team know about your travels, and the people in the team are all your own people, and only Director Qi dares to tell your whereabouts."
As he spoke, two people got out of the off-road vehicle, and on the other side of the cab was a handsome guy in a suit and leather shoes, with cool and flowing hair, white skin, and a boy's and girl's appearance, which is the most popular and popular style for girls today.
Compared with Senior Sister Zeng, who had straight eyes when she saw a handsome guy, the division captain didn't seem to be interested in that product at all, but saw a middle-aged man in the passenger seat's eyes glow.
It turns out that the man's wife likes this kind of middle-aged man who wears a Tang costume, wears glasses, and holds a black umbrella, and looks very knowledgeable.
I was thinking about it, and the division captain greeted me: "Lao Chen, why are you here?" ā
The middle-aged man glanced at the handsome white guy next to him, and said with a smile: "Hua Shao heard that you went down to the grassroots level, and bizarre cases frequently happened here, so he pulled my sleeve." ā
When he approached, he deliberately glanced at me, his eyes drifted up and down, and then he said to the division leader: "Division, look at your appearance, are you in trouble?" ā
The division captain told the middle-aged man about Li Meimei's case for the first time, and while he listened, his fingers tapped rhythmically on the handle of the umbrella.
After the division captain finished speaking, the middle-aged man took out a yellow talisman paper from his arms and handed it to me: "Brother Wu, you can take this Zhenling talisman first, and then I will teach you how to lure out the ghost baby." Once the thing appears, you just have to put a charm on its forehead and wrap it in the big pants that the woman wore but didn't wash. ā
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, I thanked him, and the division captain took the middle-aged man into the car.
As soon as I turned around to enter the room to see Qin Niang, I heard the impatient voice of the division captain behind me: "What are you doing with you?" Which side is cool, where to stay! ā
The white and tender handsome guy was as well-behaved as a teddy dog when he saw his master in front of the division captain, and he said with a smiling face: "I know that my ability is weak, but one more person always has a little more strength, besides, I also brought Master Chen down for you, there is no credit and hard work." Besides, I'm also a police officer, so I can't always hide behind you, right? ā
"Looks like you're determined to help?" The division captain raised his eyebrows, and his little eyes slanted towards me.
"Yes, yes, I want to help." The handsome white guy nodded busily.
"That's okay, you just stay and help Wu Xie and Xiao Shao catch the ghost baby. You're also a top student at the Police Academy, so catching a ghost baby shouldn't be a problem, right? ā
"IāI actually want to talk to ......"
"Bump!"
The division captain slammed the door, and the car sped away immediately, not even giving the white and tender handsome guy a chance to say a word.
As soon as the goddess of love left, the handsome white and tender guy immediately changed from a teddy dog to a Doberman dog, changed his original humility, and walked towards me and Xiao Shao proudly.
He walked, with his hands in his pockets, his head slightly raised, his eyes tilted downward, and he looked like no one was in sight.
"Hey, where's the ghost baby? We're going to catch it now, and then we're going to eat hot pot in the evening, and I'm in for a treat. ā
I couldn't deal with this rich boy, so I turned to look at Xiao Shao beside me.
Xiao Shao knew him well, so let me deal with the matter at hand first, and they went to the town police station to understand the situation, and gathered at the gate of the police station after dark.
According to Master Chen, unformed ghost babies are easy to deal with, they are like wild beasts, they go out day and night, and once they find their prey, they will take the initiative to attack.
In order to lure the ghost baby out, Xiao Shao and the rich boy named Hua Zhe drove to the county hospital to get the baby's umbilical cord blood.
Umbilical cord blood is the most delicious food and tonic for ghost babies, and we put a blood bag of umbilical cord blood into the stomach of a costume dummy and placed it in a small alley near the location where Li Meili was killed.
The third uncle and I hid on the left side of the alley with two policemen, and Xiao Shao and Hua Zhe also led people to guard on the right side.
The night is getting thicker and thicker, and after the hustle and bustle has fallen silent, the silence is terrible.
After waiting for a long time, Hua Zhe on the other side was a little impatient, yawning and saying, "Is that thing coming or not?" I didn't come, I went back to the hotel to sleep. ā
As soon as Hua Zhe's words fell, he noticed that a black thing fell above his head.
"Let's go!"
At first glance, it looked like a lump of flesh, its limbs weren't very obvious, and even its head was flattened.
I had smeared a little bit of umbilical cord blood on the outside of the costume dummy's clothes, and the ghost baby had apparently sniffed the cord blood before crawling out of some dark corner.
The ghost baby slowly crawled towards the dummy, and from my point of view, it was more "squirming" than crawling.
As it crawls, it makes a strange cry: "Quack, quack......"
It sounded terrible, and I had goosebumps on the back of my hand.
As the ghost baby approached the dummy, all of our hearts rose to the throat, and we all stared at it intensely.
When the ghost baby crawled to the feet of the dummy, he heard the third uncle let out a low shout: "Pull! ā
A colleague tugged on the rope hard, and a small net suddenly tightened, putting the ghost baby net into it and half-hanging it.
I hurried over and took out the yellow rune paper from my bosom and wanted to stick it on the ghost baby's head.
"Hey, wait."
Hua Zhe suddenly stretched out his hand to stop me, yawning while staring at the ghost baby in the net with a smile: "Isn't this just a meat ball, it doesn't look so scary." Besides, now that it's caught in the net, what kind of wind and waves can it turn over. You get out of the way first, let me take a closer look at this ghost baby, and when I see my sister tomorrow, you all have to say that I caught this ghost baby. ā
I glanced at Xiao Shao, who smiled wryly and shrugged.
Seeing that the ghost baby was not struggling too hard in the net, I also relaxed a little. Although Hua Zhe has not graduated from the police academy, his current police rank is higher than that of all of us here, he is a leader, how can anyone dare to speak up when the leader speaks.
It's just that I just breathed a sigh of relief, and I heard Hua Zhe exclaim: "Shao Shuaibo, hurry!" Fast! This thing is leaking! ā
Missing?
When I turned my head, I jumped in horror!
Because the ghost baby's soft-looking body was like a sticky meat sauce, which penetrated through the gaps in the net little by little, and then fell to the ground one by one, "ba-da, ba-da".
We were so surprised that we didn't even react when the ghost baby's body was reassembled.
"Gah!"
It let out a strange scream and pounced on Hua Zhe next to it!
Although Hua Zhe shouted while being frightened, he did not retreat, but reflexively stretched out his hand and grabbed the ghost baby who pounced.
The ghost baby's hands quickly turned into sharp claws, scratching and scratching at Hua Zhe's white and tender face.
While he hid, he screamed again and again: "Don't be stunned, come and take this thing away!" ā
I hurriedly ran up, and with a "snap", I pasted the yellow rune paper on the forehead of the ghost baby, and the ghost baby was frozen at once.
The third uncle also took the opportunity to hand me the third aunt's big pants, and after I put the ghost baby in, everyone let out a long breath.
Shao Shuaibo walked over, patted Hua Zhe on the shoulder and said, "Hua Shao, are you okay?" ā
"No, it's okay, how can I be okay? I'm a provincial martial arts champion, and I don't have to deal with gadgets by hand. If I hadn't restrained its movements just now, then, who would have sealed this little monster? Oh, by the way, I remember there was a super good TV show that I didn't watch in the evening, you go ahead, I'll go back to the hotel to watch TV first. ā
Hua Zhe said as he walked, and when he turned around and walked towards the mouth of the alley, we found that his back was already soaked with sweat......
At six o'clock in the morning, I had not slept for more than an hour when I was woken up by a call from my third uncle.
Said that the division captain had returned from the next town, and asked me to go to the police station immediately.
When I rode to the police station with Qinniang, I found that many people were watching me.
"What are you looking at me for?"
