Chapter 90: The Net Corpse
"Second child, why is the first net so heavy this morning?" On the riverbank in the early morning, an old fisherman held the trawl net with both hands and asked his son suspiciously.
"Dad, this river has not been clean recently, and the seventh uncle next door only netted a corpse a few days ago."
"Bah, good luck. My house is blessed by the gods, how can I provoke these dirty things. The old fisherman hurriedly spat into the river.
"Divine Protection? My family is really blessed by the gods, and I still need to get up early in the morning to fish like this? His son muttered quietly.
"Muddy boy, what nonsense, don't come over to help!" The old fisherman kicked his son.
The man in his twenties touched his buttocks and helplessly reached out to help the old fisherman pull the net up.
"What is this? What a big black mess. Curious, they untied the net and turned the life-size mass upside down. After only one glance, they suddenly felt a wave of fear rise from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads, and the two of them were so frightened that they kept retreating, and finally couldn't help but vomit......
Early the next morning, I left the town of Montenegro with my cousin. I spent three days recuperating at home, but I didn't plan to let myself sit idle while I was recuperating. I tried my best, racked my brains, tried every trick, tried every trick, forced my cousin to go crazy, and finally got the data I wanted. So three days later, in the afternoon, I asked Shen Ke and Xu Lu to go to the café.
"The mystery is basically solved." I told them everything that happened when I went to Black Mountain. I said as I kept stirring the cream with a spoon.
"Do you know why Li Shuren lived to be over eighty years old, and his appearance is exactly the same as when he was twenty-four?" Xu Lu couldn't wait to ask.
I scoffed, "Are girls really so afraid of getting old?" But I'd advise you not to try it, and I don't know how, but I think I've guessed it. Sinking my voice, I said slowly word by word: "It's because of the black box." It is very likely that Li Shu people got some kind of mysterious power from the black box by accident more than sixty years ago. ”
"Black box? What is that? Shen Ke asked suspiciously, and suddenly realized: "I remember!" Did you find something from that damn ghost building more than half a year ago? ”
"Yes, it's the weird black iron box engraved with the words Showa 13. I found the exact same one in the dark passage in the basement of the hotel. Do you remember the last ghost building incident? The flower girl was raped by Lu Ping and dismembered, and the body was hidden in five buildings under construction, and that tragedy caused more tragedies, and for more than eight years, the flower girl's resentment was under the influence of the black box, killing more than 140 people.
"But the strange thing is that all the people who died have more or less direct or indirect connections with apples, and this incident is the same, thirty years ago, the optimistic village girl in Montenegro slept in the bedroom with the black box buried for several years, but she put the bed in front of the door, and after sleeping for seven days, she jumped into the river and committed suicide, and turned into a zombie, killing all the people she hated. Zhang Xueyun's situation was exactly the same as her, but before she had time to commit suicide, she was murdered by Qi Wei first. ”
Thinking of what happened in the dark cave on the hillside that day, I still feel palpitations in my heart, "So I judge that the mysterious power of the black box must meet certain conditions before it can be activated!" ”
"So, what happened to the eight lambs of Chiwe?" Most of the girls have a strong sense of justice, and when they think that the bad guy is still away with it, Xu Lu's teeth itch with hatred.
I leaned back vigorously and took a deep breath: "Little Sanzi called me last night to tell me. Yesterday morning two fishermen caught his body in the river, and the cunning fox died in a strange way. ”
Sitting up, I gazed into their eyes and said slowly, "He was pulled into the water by something and suffocated to death." Ha, it's a curse. Can you guess what it was that pulled him into the water? It was Zhang Xueyun's corpse, which had been burned by gasoline and was incomplete, and only charred bones remained in many places.
According to the third son, Zhang Xueyun's bones and limbs hugged Qi Wei's hands and feet tightly, and Zhang Xueyun's head had already penetrated into Qi Wei's stomach. The wound on the guy's stomach was very uneven, it was possible that Zhang Xueyun's mouth was bitten open, the flesh and blood of the bite were blurred, and when he touched the corpse, all the internal organs in his stomach flowed out. ”
"Ahh It's so scary, it seems that people should not do too many hurtful things. Shen Ke said to me earnestly like an old man.
I kicked him hard from under the table.
"Another question, at the beginning, weren't you investigating the murder case of Zhang Xiuwen and Li Shuren? Do you know who killed them? Xu Lu asked after thinking about it seriously.
"Although they did not die of natural causes, it was not a human who killed them, but a black box." I sorted out the clues in my mind and said, "In order to make you more clear, I'll start with Li Shuren."
"Yesterday at my cousin's place, I got a lot of information about him. Li Shuren returned to China from Japan more than 60 years ago, and his whereabouts have always been secretive, and he often does not know how to change his household registration data. He never stayed in the same place for too long, so no one could tell that he didn't age, but one thing I'm sure of is that while the black box brought him infinite youth, it also brought him a very serious side effect! ”
"Side effects?" Shen Ke repeated suspiciously.
"Yes, that side effect is a dream! Nightmare! Very terrible nightmares, no matter how strong a person's willpower is, he can't bear the trouble of nightmares every day. Li Shuren is just an ordinary person who has a longer youth and life span than anyone else, and of course he can't stand it, so he starts looking around for a solution.
Then he went to the town of Black Mountain, and stumbled upon the fact that if he slept with his feet facing the door, he would no longer have nightmares. For some reason, he put the black box he brought back from Japan into a deep natural dark hole, and then left, until twenty-five years ago, Li Shuren returned to Black Mountain Town, and then he was surprised to find that the secret passage where the black box was placed was directly under the basement of a newly built hostel.
For convenience, he spent money to rent the basement and the innermost room on the third floor for a hundred years, and tried to dig a secret passage into the basement that led to the natural cave. Then more than two years ago, he didn't know whether to pick up things or put things, and Li Shuren went back to Montenegro again. ”
