Chapter 217: Finding a Den
The mobile phone message rang, I opened it and looked, it turned out that Jiang Yuanyuan was asking me about the situation.
I quickly followed the message and replied to her that she hadn't found anything yet, that she was still searching, but that everything was fine, and that she was "more careful".
"We're almost at the end of the search, and I suspect he's fled to the outside - do you want some support from there?" She replied.
"Don't use it for the time being, I'm still sweeping the building here, you can rule out that side first."
- When I sent this message, I was actually sitting on a stack of plasterboard, facing a visitor from hell and listening to him talk about how to snatch corpses.
It turned out that after realizing that the "devil" might be going to complete the ritual through the "corpse", the visitors from hell first targeted the Weiyang City Funeral Home.
The reason why he moved his "home" to Shangfengshui was also because from here, he could walk to the back door of the funeral home along the berm road, which was often uninhabited by the river.
After monitoring the funeral home for a while, he found that there was no "devil" smell here at all.
"My sense of smell is very sensitive to those guys, and I can detect them as long as they're around." He pointed to the nostrils of the two black holes covered by the black cloth and explained this to me.
The visitors to hell began to readjust their thinking - the funeral parlor is the place with the most "corpses" in Weiyang City, but why are the faceless men never interested here?
He felt that he might be going in the wrong direction.
Since the "devils" came to Weiyang last year, they often go out day and night in various places in the urban area, quietly moving.
Visitors from Hell patrol the city, and they often smell their comings and goings. But the funeral parlor was such a strange place that he couldn't even detect the slightest breath.
So, it should be more than just the corpse.
He began to collect information about the first two corpses, and found that both Du Wanqian and Xu Chuyue were actually related to the intricate case.
The two deceased, who were inscribed and carved out of the shape of corpses, were implicated in the crime, and both bore sins worthy of their lives.
Could it be that the devils also have strict criteria for screening corpses?
They don't just want the corpse, they value the events behind the corpse even more?
If so, it will be more difficult for him to catch the target.
Because people's hearts are difficult to analyze and unpredictable, before the crime happens, and even before the real culprit and the truth are exposed, he can't judge which person's psychology hides which malicious thoughts, and even has begun to secretly plan crimes.
But the devils must know, because they must have been observing and tracking for a long time, and then they have chosen their targets, and after the targets have committed the heinous felonies, they will start to intervene, either by killing people with knives, or by using their hands, turning criminals into corpses, and finally using corpses to complete their evil "rituals".
But how can you tell what the devil is aiming for?
An idea popped into the mind of the visitor from hell.
Since they have to observe, track, and intervene in the target, they will definitely appear frequently around the target, and as long as the "devils" appear, they will definitely leave a breath that the visitors from hell can perceive.
If that's the case, just find the spot where those guys have a strong smell.
This method sounds simple, but it's not that easy to do.
First of all, Weiyang City has a huge area and a large population, and there are no cars for visitors from hell, so if you want to drive all over the city with just one powered tricycle, it will definitely be too late for ten days and twenty days.
According to his usual experience, although he himself could smell the breath of the "devils", it was difficult to catch those breaths after a long time, especially after twenty-four hours.
What's more, he has not yet found the den of the "devils".
It is said that there are quite a few of these guys, and they must have a place to hibernate and gather when they come to Weiyang, but strangely, the visitors from hell cannot find the existence of such places at all—they seem to be colorless, odorless, formless, and shadowless, and they can't even smell their proudest noses—and he has always suspected that the "devils" must have some means of hiding their aura in order to cover up the aura that has accumulated in the gathering place for a long time.
Rao is like this, the visitors from hell still have the attitude of Yugong moving mountains - no matter how big Wei Yang is, as long as the "devils" do not stop, then one day he will be able to find the traces of this group of guys.
So in the dead of night, he would drive around the city on a tricycle, catching all kinds of smells in the air.
Of course, he also needs to eat and drink to survive, but fortunately he secretly developed a gangster named Zhang Dalong. This guy is stunned and lacks a string in his brain, but he is still righteous and obedient, at least he takes money to do things.
As for the way the money came from, he didn't say much, but looking at his appearance, it didn't look like something was obtained through a way that hurt heaven and reason.
The hard work paid off, and he finally found a place where the smell of the "devils" had been particularly strong in recent days.
This place is in the east of Sanyang District and is called "Prime Minister's Tomb". It is said that this is the burial place of Kui Lin, the right prime minister of Qin Shi Huang, and his family.
Kui Lin is a mystery in history, he was the first of the courtiers before and after Qin Shi Huang's unification of the Six Kingdoms, and had the status of one person under ten thousand people, and later the famous Li Si was only a court lieutenant at that time.
But the strange thing is that as time passed, a few years later, Kui Lin suddenly and inexplicably disappeared in the historical records.
Not only has his name disappeared, but even the records of his previous participation in decision-making have been erased from the official records for unknown reasons.
Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng often sounds like the first impression of being a brutal man and a man who will be revenged, but if you look through history, you will find that he is actually a sensitive and delicate person, and he has always been more tolerant and generous to ministers.
Therefore, for a man who assisted himself in sweeping Liuhe and establishing the rules and regulations of the Great Unification Dynasty, it stands to reason that he will give more preferential treatment, even if Kui Lin has done something rebellious, he should be killed and crusaded, and the world should be sued.
But an old minister who had been in power for many years and had made great contributions disappeared silently, and even the official records were erased, and God knows what happened at that time.
The few records about Kui Lin are all sketched out in some of the utensils cast, engraved inscriptions, and missing historical records. A place like the Prime Minister's Tomb, which is openly claimed to be the place where Kui Lin was buried, is really the only place in the country.
However, after more than 2,000 years, the prime minister's tomb has long been gone, and even the remnants of the monument can not be found.
After the liberation, an electron tube factory was established here, and later the factory closed down, and the land was sold one after another, and large and small residences were built, including a place called "Youcheng Community".
