Chapter 10: The Mysterious Woman
A bug that can manipulate corpses? It's also so weird!
Lian Mingche and I glanced at each other, with an unbelievable look on their faces, and the black sunglasses shrugged their shoulders, and said: "I'm just speculating, I've heard some archaeological experts say that during the war years, there was this kind of insect in Xiangxi that could be cultivated with secret techniques to manipulate corpses to drive corpses, but I haven't seen the actual thing." ”
After saying that, he ignored us, lowered his head and dissected the body of another river drifter, and looked up to see that it was exactly the same as that one, and his body was full of such strange insects.
"What do you think?" Lian Mingche stared at the corpse insects with his hands behind his back and asked me.
I don't know what to say for a while, my family has been doing this for several lifetimes, and there are a lot of famous water ghosts, but I have never heard of anyone who has encountered this strange thing when they are digging up corpses.
"Interesting." Black Sunglasses muttered to himself, but his subordinates kept moving, clearing out all the strange insects, sewing the corpses together, and turning back to me: "I'll take a few of this thing, and you can deal with the rest, remember, you can only use fire, the fluid in the body of this insect must be extremely poisonous, and it's not a joke to get on your body." Then, just like last time, he changed his clothes and left without looking back.
Even Ming Che ordered a few little policemen to take all the bugs outside and burn them, and I followed them, and I saw those strange insects constantly twisting and struggling in the flames, crackling and crackling, and the air was filled with a scorching smell.
I looked at the insect corpses all over the ground and was stunned, since just now I always vaguely felt as if I had seen these insects somewhere, I thought hard for a long time, and finally remembered after a pat on my head.
It was not long after I went to Tibet to serve as a soldier, I remember once a small soldier fell into the valley to catch up with an avalanche of supplies, and the search and rescue team went down several times but did not find his body, and then the leader of the unit invited a local Tibetan, who did not speak after coming, and shook a black clay pot on the clothes of the sacrificed soldier, and then went to the valley against the snowstorm.
Later, two days later, just when we all thought that this thing must be no fun, the Tibetan uncle came back unconsciously, and what was even more incredible was that the missing soldier actually walked back behind him, and everyone was very happy, thinking that the little soldier was not dead.
But when he got closer, he found that the soldier's skin was blue and purple that only the dead people had, and his whole body was covered with frost cracks and fall wounds, so he didn't look like a living person.
At that time, everyone was stunned, after all, no one had ever seen a dead person walk, the Tibetan uncle put down a Tibetan blanket on the ground, and then made a mark with one hand and put it on the head of the little soldier, and the little soldier fell down, and then, the Tibetan uncle took out a piece of air-dried yak meat from his arms and put it on the mouth and nose of the little soldier.
At first, we didn't know what he was going to do, but it didn't take long for us to see a big bag bulging out of the soldier's throat, and the big bag kept wriggling and getting longer, and after a few minutes, a long fiery red worm crawled out of his mouth!
Later, we learned that it was a corpse insect raised by the locals in an ancient way, which was specially used to bring back the corpses buried in the snowy peak, and the piece of meat was also soaked in herbs, only in this way could the corpse worm be drawn out of the corpse again, otherwise it would gnaw on the corpse and reproduce wildly.
Now that I think about it, although the appearance of these two insects is very different, the functions are so similar, can they be said to be the same species? But why do corpse insects in Tibetan areas appear thousands of kilometers away in Tianjin?
There are too many strange facts that have happened recently, and it seems that although everything is not connected with each other, it is a link on top of each other, which really makes people think about it and don't understand.
At this time, even Ming Che came out, he saw that my face was full of sadness, handed me a cigarette and said: "What are the plans for the future, there is only so much time, and it will definitely not work if it continues like this." ”
"I know, by the way, did you send someone to fish for that octagonal bronze coffin, that's the only clue now." I took my cigarette and took a deep breath.
Lian Mingche shook his head: "I called someone over in the morning, and I searched around there for a long time, but I didn't find anything." ”
It's really a bad luck to drink cold water and stuff your teeth, originally thinking to bring the octagonal copper coffin back to see if you can find any clues, but now it's good, not to mention that the things are gone, and there are two more such strange river drifters.
With a sigh, I threw away the cigarette butt and told Lian Mingche to notify me as soon as there was any news here, and then went back to the Heshang Public Security Department.
The next few days were still as usual, and there was no progress on the female corpse, during which Lian Mingche called me, saying that the two small river drifters had been claimed by the family, and some family members saw that the child's corpse had become that ghost and made a fuss.
Just when I was about to give up, thinking that the days ahead were bleak, I didn't expect a turning point to appear.
That day, because I was on the night shift, I arrived at the bureau after eating at home, and a few hairy boys just went in and smiled at me, I glared at them and said angrily: "There is something to say, there is a fart, what should you do if you have nothing to do, and you have fun with me." ”
Those boys also knew that I had been unhappy about the case recently, so they didn't dare to play anymore, but one of them who had a good relationship with me came up and whispered: "Third brother, have you provoked someone outside recently?" ”
"Mess with anyone, the people I usually deal with are river drifters, how can there be living people." I gave him a blank look.
After hearing this, the little policeman touched his chin and said suspiciously: "That can't be, everyone and girls have been waiting on it for a day." ”
Girl? Waited for me for a day?
I hurriedly asked him to explain what was going on, and the little policeman spread his hands and said, "I don't know very well, people were here when I came in the morning, and said that I had to wait for you." At the end, he added: "You look really beautiful, and you drive a luxury car, we started to think that you got a peach blossom debt somewhere." ”
After saying that, he pointed out the door, I looked over, and then I found that there was a red Cayenne parked at the door, sandwiched next to a pile of police cars that looked out of place, and I was thinking about things just now, and I didn't care when I came in.
I searched carefully in my mind, and the girls I knew were except for the little policewomen in the bureau, that is, the few hygienists in the army, after all, the social circle of our work was very small, and it was said that I would definitely not be able to contact girls of this class.
Forget it, it's useless to think about it, it's still the same sentence, whether it's a blessing or a curse or a curse that can't be avoided.
I went upstairs and opened the door, but I was stunned all of a sudden, the person in the room was a girl in her twenties, wearing a tight-fitting suit, and wearing an oversized sunglasses, with beautiful facial features, fair skin, sitting there without saying a word, particularly cold, I was fascinated, and I forgot to go in when I stood at the door.
"Have you seen enough?" After a while, the girl said lightly.
Only then did I realize that I had lost my temper and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, are you?" ”
I was now completely sure that I didn't know this girl, and just when I thought he was looking for the wrong person, she opened her mouth again.
"Do you know Qin Shoudao?"
Qin Shoudao is my grandfather's name, although the old lady was also a big man back then, but the girl in front of me is not a few years worse than me, young people of this age have rarely heard of grandpa's name, so I was very strange, so I asked her who you are.
But the girl didn't answer me directly, but asked again, "Is your name Qin Mosan?" ”
I was confused by her, so I had to nod and say, "I'm Qin Mosan, what are you looking for me?" ”
I didn't think that the girl didn't even say anything this time, just bowed her head slightly, picked up the bag on the sofa and walked out, when she came to me, she pulled the black super down a little, and I saw that her eyes were very special, with two colors.
"Here's my number, you'll come to me." The girl handed me a note and turned away.
It took me a few minutes to react, and I chased her downstairs to find that she was already in the car, and before I could speak, Cayenne had already slipped away.
When I returned to my office, I was even more depressed, where did this girl come from, why did she know both her grandfather's name and my name, but she didn't say anything when she asked her, she just left me a phone number and left for some reason, what is this called.
This reminds me of the gloomy man who has come to me twice, could it be that both of them are subordinates of the boss of the same party? Seeing that the gloomy man didn't bring me over several times, he changed to a beautiful girl to confuse me and let me go with her obediently?
It shouldn't be, the girl didn't say a few words since she saw me, let alone a word about the female corpse and that incident, and after thinking about it, she really didn't understand what the situation was, so she casually put the note with the phone number in the book and threw it aside and ignored it.
At night, I lay on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, and pondered all the information I knew from beginning to end, and now all kinds of signs indicated that whether it was the matter of the female corpse and the black shadow, or the two small river drifters manipulated by strange corpse insects, they were inseparable from the bottom of the water of Kakejia Temple, and if my guess was correct, the secret might be hidden under the water.
It's just like that, and before I knew it, it was the middle of the night, and I was just about to fall asleep, when the phone next to the pillow suddenly rang, and I picked it up and looked, it was a short message, and I was wondering who didn't sleep in the middle of the night to send me a text message, and after clicking on it, the whole person was stunned.
