Chapter 286: Consecutive Deaths
readx;
"Please, he is only twelve years old and cannot dissect. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info just let him go. The father said bitterly.
I sighed, I could have used a charm to get him into line and let me find out the cause of death, but I had some soft-heartedness.
It was his father's only wish.
He's really just anemic.
"I'll take a look around and maybe find out." Qin Yi said on the side.
"Nope. You can't go. I said to him, "Let's go up to the mountains and see what those guys have come across." ā
I left the rest to Zhou Tianyou and Liu Bo. I don't want someone I don't trust around, for me, he has an umbrella that can haunt me, maybe something else.
He can catch Qin Yi once, and there may be a second time. I don't know anything about the media organization behind him. As for Zhou Tianyou, he has a problem with self-preservation, and I don't know anything until I see the problem.
It's just me and Qin Yi.
Before I stepped out of the boy's house, Qin Yi stopped me. "Slow, there's a dog out there, you're not an opponent."
I glared at him with slanted eyes.
"How?" He didn't react, "It's not your opponent, okay?" I glanced at the doorway, and it was a skinny Chihuahua, glaring at me. Still whining.
"Let me take care of it, okay?" Qin Yi said.
Seriously floated to the dog's side, and the dog looked at him and lay down obediently.
"You stay, too." I said coldly.
"Yichen," he laughed, "I'm just kidding. ā
"Obviously you're overdoing it." I walked straight out the door.
Qin Yi smiled at the corners of his mouth and said to the Chihuahua, "She's not your opponent, is she?" ā
The Chihuahua barked.
A few minutes later, he was still behind me, and I glanced at him, still with that damn evil smile on his face.
"Yichen, in fact, I have a new understanding of my death, you see, you met the gods of hell, but they have not accepted me. Maybe I'm just a demigod or something, let me stay with you to protect you. Qin Yi said.
Qin Yi's spirit body has been wandering, and he has not encountered any so-called ghosts. It probably makes sense. But why protect me?
"They found me, I can be a ghost, you didn't get accepted, it's because of me." I quipped.
"Oh, so that's the case, then I'm your retinue. How can a man like me not be the protagonist? Qin Yi said, "Maybe it's more interesting for me to be the protagonist than you." ā
"It's not that designed, you're just an accessory." I smiled and replied, "You're in charge of the gags." ā
"Tell me, Yichen, what do you want in your life?"
"When I was a kid, it was like being a doctor, not an IRS clerk, because one day I could help people and be respected. For example, when I tell you to shut up and follow me. ā
"Huh. You're not a Jedi or something, are you? I know how to read minds or something, how do you know I want to talk to you. ā
"You've got a sick head."
"We're up the hill and it's boring all the way, you know? I think I can induce people to be the most taboo*, the simple-minded, the easier it is, the more complex it is, the more challenging and exciting. ā
"Shut up."
"No, no, no, I know what you don't know, I've saved you so many times, I should know why I like you."
I let out a long sigh, "You can say it, but if you still want to talk nonsense, I'll block you and you won't be able to go anywhere." ā
"It's true that I can't tell you about the process, but in short, the first time I met you, I think you are very real. There's something special about you that I don't have at all. I think it's true. I like Cao Xiaoyun, one is a habit, because I have known her since I was a child, but she doesn't have it. She's a ...... It's a perfect look, so perfect that it's unreal. ā
"Do you praise me or hurt me?" I asked.
"That's the strange thing, even human beings can feel for me, like you don't look at me with sensual eyes."
"Why should I look at you sensually?" I replied inexplicably.
"Don't you think I'm handsome?"
"You're very attractive, but it doesn't make me have to look like that. You're still a dead man, no, soul! ā
"No, even if there was resistance at first, like Cao Xiaoyun, but most women will look at me like that, I am very knowledgeable, quick to do things, and have a pleasant personality, but you seem to be blind to all my charms."
"You're too reluctant to call those charms, aren't you? You're always so self-righteous. Not everyone eats your own. ā
"In fact, it's only me who wants to." Qin Yi said.
Forget it, I don't have a common language with this shameless one.
"Actually, last night I found out that you were still in good shape after giving birth, you used the talisman water you made yourself, right?"
"Shut up, I want to slap you to death."
"Are you molesting me? Let's do it, see if my immobilization is strong or your spell is powerful. Qin Yi looked at me and said.
Don't quarrel with him, lest I spoil the good in my heart. Who told me to follow such a shameless one?
The air on the top of the mountain is relatively fresh, and the Haojia Village at the foot can be seen at a glance.
This village is not large, with more than 100 households, up and down, and there are only more than 500 people. There are two abandoned houses on the top of the hill, but there are obvious traces of life.
It may be that shortly after the person's death, the house exudes a gloomy coldness.
What caused the three young men to return to the village at the same time? I threw a spell first. Watching the Dao Fu spontaneously combust and fall in the house, there was nothing abnormal.
In front of it are two tiled houses, irregular stone slabs and small stone paved paths, and it is not difficult to see the leisure and leisure of the people who lived here before they were born.
Although the house is built in a remote area, it has sunlight on three sides, which has absolutely nothing to do with feng shui yin house.
This is even more puzzling, if all three of them are because they are fascinated by ghosts. Then the ghost also chooses a netherworld to start an act of revenge. That is to say, the three people were not attracted back by ghosts.
I can't think of a reason for that. casually entered an abandoned house.
The sun was shining and there were hardly any dead spots in the room. The bodies had already been removed, and the walls of the houses were marked with large red letters.
The ground is not decorated, just a normal ground surface.
There are many color photographs in framed photographs on the walls, occasionally a few in black and white.
I looked over one by one and saw their smiles and the lives in the photos, although they were ordinary, but I could see satisfaction and happiness.
There is a picture of three people, in which is a little girl and a boy holding hands, and behind them, a relatively large boy.
These are supposed to be the three young men who died. The photos can only show that they have a good relationship.
All the clues are left like this, and as for the body in the room, it has already been disposed of. I don't know what they looked like or what they were in when they died. Naturally, it is impossible to speculate.
turned back to Qin Yi and said, "Let's go." Nothing. ā
Qin Yi said, "Something is wrong here. ā
He floated around and stood in front of me, "The sun can shine in." ā
"Prove that there's nothing wrong here." I replied.
"No, all the sunlight can get into the house, and so can the moonlight." Qin Yi said, "I don't understand the feng shui you are talking about, but the whole room extends in all directions, which is also detrimental to the breath." In the daytime, it is certainly a yang house, but at night, it will immediately become a yin house? ā
You mean, this room......
"If it's a ghost or a spirit, this place is just right for qi training." Qin Yi said, "Absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, this room is just right!" ā
I really didn't think about the identity of these three people. They can work here and there, doing different professions, but what if all three of them are sorcerers or fellow practitioners of some faith?
There was a sudden sound of footsteps at the door, and Zhou Tianyou ran in with a panicked face, "Yichen, Qin Yi, go back to the village and take a look, someone is dead again!" ā
I furrowed my brow.
As I hurried down the mountain, I saw another corpse in the evening, but it was an old man over half a hundred years old. After a period of examination, I found that his kidneys had failed and he had died a normal death. There is no doubt about it.
Probably a coincidence. This is a lonely old man, his children are working outside, only the old man died here, the body has *, but there is no half of the wound, he should have been dead for more than a week. If it weren't for the smell of the corpse, it is estimated that no one would know that he was dead.
"How's that, what's the problem?" Liu Bo asked on the side.
"No, he's having kidney failure." I'm conclusive. Unless an autopsy can be performed, the body is so badly decomposed that the true cause may not be found.
"Doctor Meng, you're here." The policeman who brought us to Haojia Village walked in the door again, "Hao Lei's family called just now and said that the grandmother at home had died!" ā
I slammed into it. "Check it out!"
The policeman coughed twice, as if there was a problem with his trachea.
"You have a cold?" I asked him, and the policeman froze, "yes, a lot of people have colds." It is estimated that it is an infection, and a while ago I saw that Dou Heqia also caught a cold. Unexpectedly, he died in the house. ā
Cold?
I recall the child's state at the time, and he seemed very sleepy. The only thing he said to me at the time that he didn't need a doctor seemed to be suffering from severe nasal congestion.
"Isn't there a health clinic in the village?" I asked.
"Yes, his name is Hao Zhiqiang, and he is now at Hao Lei's house."
I rushed to Hao Lei's house with everyone and saw a sloppy doctor with a stubble on his face. Talking to the family.
"A week ago, my mother-in-law was sleepy, as if she had a fever or cold. I took some cold capsules. I haven't used anything else, by the way, I've taken blood pressure medication, it's too hot. Hao Lei's daughter-in-law said to Hao Zhiqiang.
"Didn't you say anything painful or uncomfortable?" Hao Zhiqiang asked in a hoarse voice.
"If she had said that, even if she didn't want to see a doctor again, I'd call you."
I followed Hao Zhiqiang's eyes and glanced at the old man who had just died on the bed. "What was the cause of her death?"
Hao Zhiqiang saw that Zhang Xiaogang, the policeman in the village, also followed. He replied to me, "It seems to be heart failure." ā
He felt the same way as I did, but he used the word "like".
"Xiao Zhang, Liu Bo, can you go back and check how many people have died in this village since the beginning of summer?" I asked.
"Do you think it's a contagion?" Hao Zhiqiang asked. "I remember last summer, there were also six old people who died."
He packed his bag and walked up to me.
"This summer is really a coincidence, first three young people died, then Hao Gang's child Hao Xiaohu disappeared, then died, and then Dou Heqia and Hao Wenping were found dead. It's only been two months, and six people have already died in a row. ā
"The three young people are no longer than three years old, and Xiaohu is only twelve...... By the way, the cause of Granny Hao's death was ......" Hao Zhiqiang took out a cigarette from his bag and lit it with a match.
"Acute kidney failure." I replied.
His brow furrowed deeply. The cigarette holder in his mouth took a hard breath, and then asked in a low voice, "What is the real cause of death?" ā
I looked at him and replied, "I don't know." The three young people, Xiaohu, Uncle Dou, and Granny Hao, these six people, all of whom died of unknown causes. ā
"Is it a contagion? Pestilence? He said confusedly.
"None of them showed any strange symptoms, and everyone was different on the surface. If you want to say it's an infectious disease...... "I thought about this, and my mind flashed.
"Are there many people with colds in the village?"
"Well, there are three more people who have gone to the county hospital for treatment because they have a cold too badly." Hao Zhiqiang replied.
Three again?
Is it possible to speculate that three people are a unit, first with a cold, then sleepy and tired, and they don't want to find a doctor, and their body temperature is different. The same starts as a small symptom and worsens dramatically in a short period of time.
That's the common denominator.
If there were no exceptions, those three should have deteriorated as well. Oh, there's still time!
"When did the three men on the mountain first die?"
"About a week ago." Hao Zhiqiang said.
That's not a unit of three people, it's four, because there's still the old man who died. Four deaths in a week!
"Recently, there is a person who has a serious cold, and it is the daughter-in-law of Hao Xiong, the head of the village. It seems that she is also quite sleepy, and I have prescribed her medicine. ā
Or four!
"Let's take a look!" If these people died at the same time in succession, there must be some kind of connection.
When I went out, I saw a well-made mahogany coffin in the courtyard.
"Is this ......," I asked, confused.
"There is a rule in the village that people must be buried after death, and no cremation is taken, so that it is convenient for people to worship. Haojia Village is far from the county's funeral parlor, and every time a dead person has to climb two hills, and every family is not very wealthy, so it is difficult to rent a car...... Hao Zhiqiang said.
Qin Yi looked at the coffin, his eyes lit up, "Then what does Haojia Village live on?" ā
Hao Zhiqiang pointed to the coffin in front of him, "That's what I did." Haojia Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and now the coffin is not selling well, so it is changed to make furniture, but making coffins is something that every household will do. ā
"Let's go see the patient first." I said to Hao Zhiqiang.
This time it was a brick house at the head of the village, and it could be seen that the conditions of this house were better, and there were several motorcycles at the door. I glanced at the daughter-in-law, there was no trace of blood on her pale face, her mouth trembled incessantly, as if she was saying something, but there was no sound at all, and she looked extremely tired.
Qin Yi leaned over and said, "She's saying that she's very sleepy and doesn't want to see anyone." ā
I'm going to have to give her a full body check-up right away.
Hao Zhiqiang and I worked together, and the speed was much faster. But the result was unexpected, and after a check-up, she just had a cold. The organs of the body are completely normal.
I put my hand on her forehead, it was also hot, but when I touched my arm, it was very cold.
After observing overnight, except for a few cases with a rapid heartbeat, the body temperature was normal. Nothing out of the ordinary was observed.
Early the next morning, I was dragged up by Zhou Tianyou in the bed. "You know what? Three patients with a severe cold who went to the county hospital passed away last night! ā
Really.
I'm going to check on that daughter-in-law right now!
As soon as I arrived at the room, I saw Hao Zhiqiang doing a heartbeat for the woman. "Quick! Just lost a heartbeat! ā
The husband on the side was a little dumbfounded, "Last night, he kept shouting to find his mother......" His eyes were dull, and he seemed to be a little sleepy!
On the kang on the other side of the room, a corpse was covered with a white cloth, and it looked like it was not large, probably a child.
Is it really a strange contagion? There should be a common symptom, but it's not obvious at all. Qin Yi heard the dog barking at the door and floated out. It didn't take long for the dog to stop squeaking.
Hao Xiong was standing behind us at this time, feeling a dark shadow blocking the light of the light bulb, and when he slowly looked back, he didn't find anything. The door was still his own, and he looked at the large dressing mirror on the left side of the black wooden door and saw his bloodless face.
"Smack!" With a bang, the middle of the dressing mirror shattered. but it was not broken.
Boom. Hao Xiong's body went limp, and he collapsed behind me.
I turned sharply, and a dark wind came from the doorway, cold and deep into the marrow, but I saw nothing.
touched Hao Xiong's body, and he had no life characteristics.
I didn't think about it, and I threw it out with a spell. But there was no movement. It's all so weird!
"Another one died, huh?" Hao Zhiqiang said flatly.
I widened my eyes and saw that his face was just as pale and his eyes were just as dull. Right in front of me, it turned into a demented look!
This is impossible, I was still alive in front of me just now, how did I become this ghost in an instant!
There must be something hiding in this village, not some infectious disease.
I decided to keep Hao Zhiqiang under surveillance and not leave his sight for 24 hours. But there's a problem, I'm not a ghost anymore, my body gets tired, and I always have a nap.
Qin Yi doesn't know Taoism, so he can't help me, and Zhou Tianyou, Taoism can't.
If only Rui'er were here. Or Wang Xuan is here. But they were all arranged by me for other things.
"Perhaps, we can look for other clues." Qin Yi floated into the room, looked at the situation in front of him and said.
Zhou Tianyou said on the side, "What other clues?" Right in front of us, the non-stop dead people, Yichen didn't find it, I think it's better to leave quickly, go to Yunbai Temple to find Taoist priests to help. Maybe you can see the clues. ā
"We've been led by the nose. We have no control over this streak of deaths. Qin Yi said, "Actually, there are other clues." ā
I looked up at him, and he had a good brain, maybe he could find something.
"Yichen and I went to the abandoned house on the top of the mountain yesterday, that house is quite strange, it can't store the yin and yang harmony of a house at all, it should be a place of cultivation, not like a human habit. But since it was once inhabited, we should find out who built the house, and know that it is from where death began. ā
Right! Death began with three young men. We should find the original owner of the house!
"Let Liu Bo inquire and see where the original occupants of the house are." I said.
Liu Bo went to inquire. The result was very easy, and the family lived right in the middle of the village. It's a young couple with a five- or six-year-old daughter.
"Go ahead and ask." Qin Yi said to me, "I'll go with you." ā
"No, you stay and watch Hao Zhiqiang with Zhou Tianyou."
"That's not going to work." Qin Yi shook his head and said, "I can't let you get into danger. ā
I knew that even if I forced him to stay, he would still come along. It's better to ask as soon as possible and rush back immediately.
Qin Yi and I rushed to the center of the village and found the family. The young father opened the door for me, and he looked very thin and bland, and when he learned of our intentions, he smiled wryly, "We didn't live in that house for long, we moved down a year ago." My daughter has a strange disease that can't be cured, and now she's in a vegetative state. ā
Vegetable?
Qin Yi and I glanced at each other, and his expression was complicated.
"Uh, I'm a doctor, can you show me?" I said to him.
"Of course, you can come with me."
Qin Yi approached me a little closer, and whispered in my ear, "This family is a bit weird, and the woman doesn't talk much." ā
I glanced at the young mother, who was beautiful and delicious, and looked relatively cold, probably with a weak character, you scourge, I was investigating the supernatural incident, and you were staring at other people's wives. I really want to kneel on the washboard again.
Uh, when the matter is over, my sister will find you two remote controls for you to kneel.
The couple led me up the stairs and opened the door to the second floor. There was a strong smell of medicine on the pavement, and in the empty room, only in the center of the room, against the wall, there was a bed, on which lay a child of five or six years old.
There seemed to be a deep breathing in my ears.
I walked into the room. The couple followed. I went to the bedside and looked at it, and the girl's face was pale, as if she was sleeping. The face plate is very clean, and it can be seen that her parents take good care of her.
"She's been asleep? Have you seen a doctor? How so? ā
"From the moment she was in a coma two years ago, the doctor said there was no cure." Father said.
At that time, I also found a respected monk to show it, but ...... "The mother wanted to speak and stopped."
"He said something was attached to her." Father continued.
"Got it." I said calmly. "I'll use my method to solve it and try it. May I? ā
I pulled out a yellow talisman from my bosom.
