Chapter 161: Shanghai Vampires
Captain Chi Han let out an angry and low roar when he saw the corpse stumps of the little dragon scattered around the roots of the bushes, and I also felt a nameless fire in my heart.
This is just brutal!
It is hard to imagine that in the bustling city of Shanghai, in the urban area, such an appalling thing could happen. The schoolboy disappeared inexplicably, and then was found in the middle of nowhere, broken into several pieces. If this is known to the news media and reported...... I'm afraid it's going to be a storm.
"Don't worry about being angry yet, Captain Chi, we should examine the stump of this poor child's corpse first." I said with a serious expression, and with a twelve-point vigilance in my heart, I slowly squatted down, and carefully shone the flashlight in my hand to observe the scattered stumps.
As I observed the mutilated bodies of these children, I gradually discovered something that was somewhat shocking.
Even in the mutilated body of the poor child named Xiaolong, who died, there was not a single drop of blood, not even a drop!!
It was as if all the blood in his body had disappeared. All the fragments of corpses found in this bush were clean, and the muscles and bones were all white, without a trace of blood, which was extremely weird.
This situation is very similar to the death of Uncle Zhao, who was sucked to death by a locust essence when he was in Pingtian Village before.
"This ...... What's going on?! There was not a trace of blood in the corpse of this little dragon, as if it had been sucked dry. Could it be ...... Is it related to the affairs of Hirata Village? Chi Han, it seems that we may have found some clues. I said solemnly.
Chi Han looked at the mutilated corpse of the little dragon that had been collected by us at his feet with a compassionate look and said, "That's right, this situation is very similar to that in Hirata Village, the deceased were all sucked of blood from their bodies by something. But it's clear. This time it's definitely not a locust. After the locust sucks blood, it will definitely make his body shriveled and withered, and the muscles will not remain in their original state, but the blood will disappear. Moreover, I don't think that the monster will do more to break the body of the little dragon into pieces after sucking blood. ”
His brow furrowed tightly, and there was some inexplicable glint in his eyes. It seems to be thinking about something important.
I looked at him like this, and I knew that maybe the mutilated corpse of the little dragon in front of me might have triggered some important thoughts in him. At the moment, he just looked at the dark park around him vigilantly, and stopped talking to him, for fear of interrupting Chi Han's train of thought.
Hongkou Park at night is really very quiet, so quiet that it is a little abnormal, it can be said that it is a dead silence. Because in this somewhat hot season, it stands to reason that there should be a lot of insect chirping at night. But in this Hongkou Park, there is no sound, as if it is a graveyard in the middle of the night!
Before, Chi Han and I were busy looking for the trace of Xiaolong. So I didn't pay much attention and take it to heart. When I think about it now, I feel a little chilled. But it's okay for Xuanmen spell cultivators like us, anyway, before coming in, we basically have a mental preparation, there must be something weird in this Hongkou Park. And Xiaolong's strange way of dying and mutilated corpse confirmed this idea.
Now what I need to wait for is whether Chi Han has any clues.
He didn't really think about it for long, and the environment here didn't make it possible to think about it for too long. After about three or four breaths. Chi Han said slowly in a low voice, "Brother Jiang, you go and check the top of Xiaolong's neck." Is there a shape for a tiny hole? ”
I nodded, and was ready to crouch down to check. I don't think this is Chi Han instructing me to do things, after all, he is a little chubby, and the action of squatting down is still a little troublesome for him.
The dragon's head is relatively complete, but the eyes were wide open when we found them just now. There is horror in his eyes, and he is very hideous in the night environment. And there is a bit of a feeling of death. But it's been closed by us, and it's closed normally now.
I flicked his head to the side and carefully shone a flashlight on his neck, trying to see if there would be some traces of small holes in his neck, as Chi Han suspected.
I was blown away by the results. Because I really found a couple of tiny little holes in his neck!!
And the arrangement of these small holes is very regular, and they all correspond to yes. There are four in total, two on top and two on the bottom. It's neat and tidy, as if it's ...... It's like something has bitten it out.
But what is it that bites people's necks specifically? And do you bite out such a shape?
Puzzled, I quickly recalled in my head what I knew about the monsters, but I didn't think that any monster could bite out such a shape and arrangement of small holes. The holes were distinctly in the shape of teeth, and it was almost certain that some kind of monster had bitten down on the dragon's neck and sucked up his blood.
Fiddling with Xiaolong's head, I stood up and nodded at Chi Han: "Chi Han, you guessed right." The little dragon does have four small holes on the top of its neck, two on the top and two on the bottom. It looks like a tooth bite mark of something, could it be that there is some kind of monster in this Hongkou Park that likes to suck human blood? ”
As I spoke, I shone the flashlight in my hand at the dragon's head. Under the light of the bright flashlight, the marks of the bite on the teeth on the neck of the little dragon were very clear and obvious, and they were visible at a glance.
After listening to my words and seeing the wound on Xiaolong's neck with his own eyes, Chi Han's face suddenly changed greatly, becoming very serious and dignified: "Sure enough, it's the same as I guessed!" This is exactly the same as a few cases that happened more than a year ago. The blood of the deceased is sucked dry, and then the body is shredded. The cut of the corpse seemed to have been cut open by a sharp weapon, but no murder weapon could be found. ”
Something like this happened a year ago?!
Originally, I was surprised by Chi Han's attitude, but when I heard him say this, I immediately understood. No wonder! No wonder when he saw Xiaolong's corpse, he looked a little wrong, and his brows were furrowed. And let me check the dragon's neck, it seems that he must have thought of something.
"Chi Han. Listening to what you say, I'm afraid things are really in trouble. What the hell was going on a year ago? Tell me more about it. ”
He looked around, "Let's go, let's go back to the police station first." Inform the people in the bureau and Lao Xing, and ask them to hurry up and bring more people to collect the body of this poor child. As for the strange case a year ago, it made people panic in the vicinity. Let's talk about it later. ”
I didn't think it was a good place to talk, so I nodded. With some reluctance, he glanced at the fragments of the poor child's corpse that had piled up on the ground again, turned around and left with Chi Han.
The two of us rushed back to the police station as fast as we could, told the officer on the night shift about the incident, and then asked him to rush there as fast as he could. And Chi Han and I walked step by step towards the depths of the police station, and it seemed that he was going to take me somewhere.
"Where are you taking me?" As I walked through the long, dark hallway, I asked him a little strangely.
"Take you to the archives, that incident a year ago. There are more detailed dossier records. It's all in the highly classified area of the archives, but I can see it. Moreover, I was in charge of the case at that time. Chi Han's tone seemed a little dignified and serious, without the usual soft feeling of a spring breeze, I could still sense that there was a feeling of helplessness and unwillingness in his words.
Obviously, this supernatural case a year ago was also in charge of Chi Han, and. He didn't solve that case. So now, more than a year later, there is a time when similar paranormal cases have reappeared. He's going to be a little depressed, isn't he?
After walking for a while, we arrived at the door of the archives. Chi Han took out a key, opened the door of this archive room and let me in, and then led me to a wall on the right side of this room. There is a tin cabinet here, which looks different from other places where archives are stored.
"This is ......"
"This cabinet is full of unsolved cases. Of course, not all of them are paranormal cases. All unsolved civil and criminal cases are in it. Chi Han said. I opened the tin cabinet with the key, and then searched inside for a while, and then took out a paper bag for me.
The thickness of this paper bag is very thick, and there are a lot of contents in it at first glance.
Chi Han turned on a table lamp: "Look for yourself, I believe in your speed." It should be enough to watch in fifteen minutes. ”
I nodded, then took the file bag handed over by Chi Han, said no more, and began to check the file under the light of the lamp.
The name of the file reads: 1995, Hongkou District, Shanghai, vampire supernatural case!!
What the? Bloodsucker?!
When I saw these words, my mind finally reacted. I finally remembered what that weird tooth bite was left by.
It's a vampire!!
No wonder I couldn't remember it after thinking about it for so long, no wonder I didn't think there was such a monster. It turns out that this thing is not a monster at all, or to be precise, it can't be regarded as a Chinese monster.
That's right, the vampires here are similar to the vampires in Western religious legends. Since we all have Taoism, Buddhism, and other traditional supernatural forces in China, then in Western countries, there are all kinds of supernatural forces that belong to them, and strange and terrifying spiritual creatures.
And the biggest supernatural force in the West is Christianity. Don't think that Christianity is a lie, because if you don't have a little real ability, it will never be possible to spread all over the world for so long and have so many believers.
It's just that it seems that our Chinese supernatural forces have relatively little contact with the supernatural forces in the West. I also asked Brother Long this question before, but it seems that this involves something that can't be said, and he was casually prevaricated by that guy.
Therefore, in the past ten years, there has been almost no news of Western supernatural warlocks in China, and when I encounter this situation, I have no way to connect Xiaolong's death with the terrifying spirit creatures in Western legends.
Perhaps seeing my shocked and puzzled eyes, Chi Han pursed his mouth at me: "Look on." ”
So I continued to look at this dusty secret file, and only then did I know that in 1995 in Hongkou District, Shanghai, there was such a supernatural case!
That was last year, and I don't know when it began, and there were cases of elementary school students going missing from school. And I couldn't find it. At the beginning, it didn't attract much attention from the relevant departments, and the police department in Hongkou District didn't think much about it.
It wasn't until later that some people reported that they saw a woman in red clothes pick up a child who was determined to be missing at that time, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. The relevant departments have only begun to pay attention to it.
At that time, Chi Han was already keenly aware that this was probably not an ordinary case. Behind this strange case, there must be some supernatural forces hidden. However, he thought that his adventures in Putuo Mountain had made him have some ability in this regard, so he was not afraid of anything, and immediately launched a variety of comprehensive investigations.
However, the results of the investigation were somewhat disheartening, and all the suspects were ruled out. But the disappearance of elementary school children is still happening, and it has even spread to adults.
Finally, by chance. was hit by Chi Han, and he happened to see what an eyewitness described, a woman dressed in red, walking towards a secluded street with a child.
He was overjoyed and immediately followed the past. But when he turned a corner, he lost his sight. He was not reconciled, so he unfolded his Buddhist supernatural powers and used spells to track the past as much as possible. When I finally arrived near Hongkou Park, I saw the woman in red meeting with a man in a suit and a leather shoes and a mask.
But at this very moment. The man in the suit and mask spotted him!
At that time, it was already six or seven o'clock in the evening, and there were few pedestrians. Before Chi Han could react, the man in the mask suit was extremely fast, and he crossed a distance of more than ten meters in one fell swoop, and when he reached in front of him, he stretched out his hand and grabbed him.
Chi Han's panicked gaze saw it. The fingernails of this masked man in a suit are long and narrow, sharp, and his hands are covered with green tendons, which don't look like normal human hands at all!
What kind of monster is this?!
At that time, he was in a daze in his head, and he didn't have time to resist at all. was knocked away at once. The whole body actually jumped directly over the fence of Hongkou Park and fell into the grass inside. Fortunately, what he learned was the Vajra lineage of Buddhism, and his body was extremely strong and strong, even sharp weapons such as daggers could hardly really hurt him.
He thought he would be able to escape, but the man in the mask and suit jumped over the park wall several meters high and reached his side, and then the woman in red also grabbed the child and jumped in. At this moment, the child was already trembling with fear.
At that time, in front of Chi Han, this man and woman actually directly sucked the poor child's blood, and then used their hands as sharp as daggers to cut him into pieces!!
This made Chi Han stunned, but there was no way. Under the crushing of completely unequal strength, he had no power to fight back. After the man and woman sucked the child's blood dry, they originally wanted to suck him, but at the critical moment, the Buddha beads that Chi Han had been carrying on his wrist played a role.
Radiating golden light, the treasure was solemn, forcing back the two men and women who were sucking human blood, and Chi Han was able to leave his life.
But it was really because of this that Chi Han knew that the Buddha beads that the old monk in Putuo Mountain forcibly wore on his wrist were actually such a powerful treasure! It was at that time that Chi Han began to like his identity as a wild man in the Xuanmen supernatural circle, and began to study this string of Buddhist beads.
After escaping the catastrophe, such a situation will naturally attract the attention of religious offices. As a result, the East China Branch of the Religious Office inevitably had to come into contact with him. I can imagine Guo Hu's character, he hates the children of the family, and hates everything that depends on luck or he thinks that he doesn't work for nothing. So Chi Han will definitely not please him, and a lot of unpleasant things have happened when I think about it.
Of course, this dossier doesn't say that.
And there is also a strange thing that seems to be that the East China Branch of the Religious Office was also performing some more important tasks at the same time, and there was no one to help. However, due to the partial involvement of the East China Branch of the Religious Affairs Office, I finally had a clearer understanding of the case.
At that time, the East China Branch came to the conclusion that this was a vampire, just like a zombie in China. As for why there are only Western vampires in Shanghai, it is somewhat unknown.
The Hongkou District Police Department is fully staffed, all wearing a large number of weapons, and they also step up patrols at night, vowing to catch those two guys. And Chi Han is even more full of horsepower, wanting to wash away the shame of innocent people being killed in front of him.
The emperor lived up to his wishes, and finally let Chi Han and the people from the police station block the masked man and the woman in red in Hongkou Park!
After a fierce shootout, two police officers died heroically and were drained of blood on the spot. And the man and the woman calmly left and disappeared under the attack of the rain of bullets and Chi Han's Buddhist beads.
That was the last time they were seen. Since then, the two vampires, a man and a woman, seem to have disappeared and never reappeared. This case can only be closed like this. Gradually, everyone forgot about it......
It's just that what I didn't expect is that now, more than a year later, the same situation has happened again!!
There are children missing, their bodies drained of blood, and their bodies have been cut into large numbers of stumps, also near Hongkou Park......
All signs are that this must be the two vampires, one man and one woman, who are back!
After reading the dossier in my hand, I slowly put it down and looked at Chi Han's round face frowning under the lamp.
I sighed and reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "Actually, you can't be entirely blamed for this. The East China Branch of the Religious Office is the main responsibility in the first place, this is a supernatural case, and they should have been the main force, but they actually did not send someone over, which is their dereliction of duty. Secondly, it's normal that you didn't even know how to use magic weapons at that time, and you were caught off guard......"
Before I finished speaking, Chi Han shook his head: "But the second time, so many people still failed to catch those two vampires." And two brothers died! I'm useless! ”
I didn't know how to comfort him.
He stood up and swung his fist in the air: "However, this time, I will definitely not let these two guys escape again!" I'm going to have to catch them. If I can catch these two damn vampires this time, I will go to Putuo Mountain and agree to the old monk's request to convert to Buddhism and learn more powerful Buddhist powers! ”
It can be seen that the failed supernatural case more than a year ago has come out again, and the blow to this guy is really a bit big.
"Then do we need to notify the religious office again this time? They can't have an important task every time, right? I thought about it, and finally asked boldly.
Chi Han glanced at me and said meaningfully, "Brother Jiang, what do you think?" You...... You don't want us to contact the people in the East China Branch, do you? ”
My heart suddenly moved, and I secretly scolded this old fox, I had too many eyes, I must have guessed a lot of things a long time ago, but I deliberately didn't mention it.
Seeing my embarrassed face, he gently patted me on the shoulder: "Don't worry, you can rest assured that this mask made by Lao Xing will definitely not reveal your identity." As for whether the spells will be detected or not, you need to be careful. Or otherwise, Brother Jiang, you can also withdraw from this operation, it won't be difficult to do. (To be continued.) )
