After returning to Chengdu, we went our separate ways with Baizhou, but I felt a little powerless alone, so I pulled Liu Ran along.

She used to help Archives No. 6 collect information, so it was difficult for her to investigate such a thing.

But when we came to the police station, we asked the police there for the report of the deceased, and they looked us up and down a few times, and finally asked us for documents.

But our identity is not in the police circle, so it doesn't help us, and in the end we can only call Chen Haidong and ask him to help.

Over the course of a day, Chen Haidong helped us ask a few acquaintances, and then I was asked to participate in the investigation of this case.

But when the policeman asked us why we were investigating, I didn't know how to answer them.

Looking at the pictures of the corpses, I suddenly felt as if I was doing something useless, and I was not here for this purpose at all.

What the Fire Daoist and I said, as well as the rat demon and the black cat, it seems that it was because of them that I came to find out the report of the deceased.

Seeing that I didn't answer, Liu Ran glanced at me and asked, "What do you want?" ”

I shook my head in confusion, took the file bag handed over by the other party, and walked in with Liu Ran casually.

But I looked at the information on it, but I felt that I had lost something, and when I threw the question to Liu Ran, the other party also shook his head, but took the file and said, "I'm just curious, I think you're like this!" ”

When I heard her answer, I burst out loud because I felt like I was thinking too much.

In the archives, we sifted through the useless stuff and left a few clues that we needed most at the moment, some of which came from the forensic lab.

In the lower right corner of the report, there is a signature,—— Wu Zhong.

It was the name of the medical examiner, and after I wrote it down, I began to open the records inside.

After preliminary information about the deceased was discarded, the report stated that the deceased's blood contained a large number of bacteria, and that an unknown hormone was found after testing of these bacteria.

This hormone can improve the body's various skills in a short period of time, among which the highest improvement is brain power, followed by physical fitness, and appetite.

Flipping through the test of the hormone, there were many words on it that I couldn't read, and I took it and asked Liu Ran about it.

After she looked at it a few times, she also said that she didn't know, because it was all medical professional terms, although I had little knowledge of medicine, but I was not a professional after all.

Liu Ran is also similar to me, what he knows, that is, the common sense knowledge that may be used in front of his eyes.

Since we didn't understand what it was, we had to hold back for a while, and when I flipped back again, I found an enlarged photo of the body.

There were several small red dots on the corpse's neck, which looked like blood stains instead of skin diseases.

Under the diagram, there is also a note on the area, which says that in the area of the carotid artery, there are obvious traces of blood, which should have been injected into the body of the deceased with some liquid.

I've heard the story that injecting air into a blood vessel kills you, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so that's how the dead were killed.

But on second thought, I smiled and shook my head because of the blood stains on my skin. If it is injected with air, the blood stains and wounds will definitely not be so small, and even along the blood vessels, there will be symptoms of cracking on the surface of the skin.

But this does not rule out another possibility, that is, after that, the murderer treated the wounds of the corpse, or did some remedy.

None of these speculations were mentioned in the report, so there was no way to know for sure, but as the suspicion faded, I turned the report back.

"This fungus in the blood of a corpse ......" I thought, and a flash of inspiration flashed through my mind.

I thought of a possibility, and asked Liu Ran to ask for the contact information of this forensic doctor Wu, and if possible, we would go see him tomorrow.

Liu Ran understood what I meant, I wanted to check the content of this inspection report, but it was only three o'clock in the afternoon, and it was not too late.

I waved my hand to indicate that we had anything else to do. If we use these, we can find a way to change the rat demon from another channel - to explain it in the most scientific way.

Although Liu Ran was puzzled, he was not verbose, and turned around to ask for the contact information of Forensic Doctor Wu.

I sat alone at the table, looking at the picture, and if the bacteria were digging something out of the dead man's head, what was the murderer trying to find out from the elder's memory?

Maybe all this has something to do with Li Sansi and the clan tomb, and maybe even their killers.

But there is no way to think about it this way, whether they committed the murder for the time being, what we have to determine now is whether there is still this kind of bacteria left on the corpse that has not been completely dissipated, or when those rats eat the corpses, these bacteria will flow down the bloodstream to the bodies of those rats, causing them to mutate.

If it can be determined that this bacterium can mutate in other creatures, then the origin of the rat demon can be explained.

A few minutes later, Liu Ran got the phone number of Forensic Doctor Wu, we packed our things, stopped the car, went to the nearby hospital first, and bought some medical syringes and a few empty infusion bottles, as well as other application items

When I was buying these things, Liu Ran finally asked me, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Go back, take blood samples from all the creatures that have been in contact with the corpse, and ask Forensic Wu to identify them, if they all contain the same element, the rat demon is likely to be infected with this virus because of eating the corpse."

After I got that, I called Baizhou again and asked him how the situation was going.

The other party said that he had found someone to investigate Li Sansi, but so far he had not received any useful clues, and if there was a result, he would notify me as soon as possible.

I groaned, told him what I had found here, and asked him if he had time to come over and send us back.

After listening to my speculation, Baizhou may have injected some kind of bacteria into the deceased's body, and immediately asked me to carefully find out the identity of the murderer.

But he can't go back now, because he needs to visit many seniors here, and he is preparing to open various matters of the clan tomb, I'm afraid he won't be able to get over it today.

However, it can be determined that the deceased is related to Li Sansi, which is also a big clue, and maybe Li Sansi's whereabouts can be found by following the deceased's family or the deceased's recent contact.

I was a little embarrassed to see him believe my words so much, because it was just my guess, and there was no conclusive evidence, but one more direction, there was one more possibility of catching the murderer, so I didn't stop it, but just asked him to be careful, because I suspected that the murderer's purpose was not just to kill people, but more like to find something from the memory of the deceased.

Baizhou agreed a few times, although he couldn't come over, but he asked Jiang Yuchen to take us there, this little brother is nothing else, but he has an amazing memory, and he can record it without any difference if he has been to a place he has been to once.

After hanging up the phone, we gave the driver an address, and when we arrived at the destination, we found that Jiang Yuchen had actually come out of the Internet café.

After picking him up, we followed Jiang Yuchen's guidance all the way back to the village.

At this time, it was almost dark, and we didn't have time to stay longer, so we rushed directly to the ancestral hall.

But in half a day, the ancestral hall seemed to have been renovated, and everything was cleaned up, only the coffin was still lying quietly on the ground.

When the villagers guarding the ancestral hall found out that it was us, they immediately asked, "Why did you come back again, is there anything else?" ”

"Yes, I want to see the corpses, all of them!"

When the other party saw me say this, he was a little puzzled, but he knew that Elder Li had an explanation and gave me three days to investigate the case, so he didn't say anything.

I opened the coffin again, although it was covered with a corpse cloth made of ice silk, but the smell of corpses still made me frown, it was hard to imagine, this was a corpse that had been dead for less than a week.

I put on a medical mask and rubber gloves and was about to go to my bag to get the syringe, when I heard the villager laugh.

"Did you go to medical school? Why do you still have these things with you? ”

I gave him a blank look, but I heard Jiang Yuchen jokingly say, "What is a medical university, do you think my eldest brother looks like a student at this age?" In my opinion, this is obviously a forensic doctor! ”

I turned back to them and made a silent gesture, and when they finally shut up, I skillfully prepared the needle, and finally endured the smell of the corpse, found a clean place on the corpse, and drew out 10 ml of liquid.

After getting up, I shone the tube of blood with a flashlight, and found that the blood lipids were very thick, and there were some granular things in them, which were a bit like crystals in the blood.

After a few glances, I still couldn't figure out what it was, but it looked like blood couldn't crystallize.

After taking a small glass bottle out of my bag, I poured the blood into it before carefully putting it away.

"Alright, let's close the coffin!" With that, I walked out with everyone.

After leaving the ancestral hall, I went to the house of the person who had cleaned up the dead rats during the day, and asked about the corpses, and the other party frowned.

"What are you looking for?"

"I'd like to draw some rat blood back for testing!"

He looked a little reluctant, but he still put on his clothes and led me to an improvised burial pit.

"I'll just leave them here!" As he spoke, he was about to leave, but I grabbed him.

Pulled by me like this, the other party shuddered, and asked hesitantly, "Brother, you won't let me go down to find the corpses of those rats!" ”

I hurriedly waved my hand and handed him the flashlight, "It's getting dark, you can always help take a picture, and you should know the approximate location of what you lost!" ”

The other party smiled bitterly, took the flashlight, and shone into the pit that was not too deep.

However, I looked back, and Liu Ran planned to go down with me to find the body, but I shook my head and pulled Jiang Yuchen over.

"Hey, hey, big brother, I'm just recognizing the way, I'm in charge of bringing you here, I'm really scared of this kind of place!"

"Less nonsense, a big man, how can he not be as bold as a woman!"

The other party looked back at Liu Ran, and finally shook his head helplessly, but only followed me with a cower.

Although the soil pit is not deep, the area is not small, I followed the flashlight and walked over, and I felt that the soil here was very soft, and it seemed to collapse at any time when I stepped on it.
