Chapter I: The Mystery of the Case
On our trip to the Holy Land, the walkie-talkie rang bizarrely, and there was a strange person who secretly helped us.
I never wondered who this weirdo could be, but looking at the old cat, I had this guess that the weirdo was him.
I watched him silently, and after a while, he looked out the window, and in his excitement he whistled, and there was a boo in the whistle.
I couldn't help it, so I leaned over to him, pulled him, and thought about talking to him.
The old cat turned his head, as I said before, he was very cold, and looked at me with a gloomy gaze, which made me suddenly a little uncomfortable again.
He didn't like to talk, and he couldn't speak well, so he just asked me in one word, "What?" ”
I worded it, trying to alleviate his cold and arrogant personality through polite questions, I said to him, "Brother Mao, thank you for helping so much, and I don't understand something, where were you hiding when we were caught by Lei Tao?" Can you still eavesdrop on Lei Tao's words without revealing a trace? ”
The old cat frowned at me, then suddenly snorted again, and grimaced in front of my eyes.
His grimace was terrifying, his facial features twisted together in an instant, and even his expression was unusually hideous. I didn't expect him to answer me in such an ambiguous way.
I was so frightened that I jumped out of my chair as if I had been electrified.
Everyone else looked at me inexplicably, they didn't know what had just happened, and the old cat, shushing, ignored me and continued to look out the window.
I don't think I can talk to the old cat anymore, and this time he grimaces, and the next time I ask him, he may not know how to torture me.
I said forget it, and I won't get into the horns anymore. I moved away from him and sat quietly in my chair.
We flew for a night and finally landed on the outskirts of Xiaguang Town, where we were picked up by a large jeep.
The old cat did not get into the car, and walked alone in the woods in the suburbs, and it seemed that he did not like life in the town or in the city, but he did not leave the group without permission, and took a small device with a green light on it.
I guess it's a communicator, and if something happens, just use it to contact the old cat.
The rest of us ignored the old cat and went straight to the police station in Xiaguang Town by car. I, Tie Donkey, and Yin Yin all got out of the car and entered the police station, but Jiang Shaoyan and Lei Tao, who were still asleep, didn't get out of the car at all, and the big jeep didn't stop, and turned around and left with these two people.
I guess I must have found a place to heal. I don't worry too much about Jiang Shaoyan, no matter how I say that he is also a member of the special case team, there will definitely be high-end medical technology waiting for him. Waking up and recovering, it's a matter of time or later, and for Lei Tao, I don't have any thoughts, my heart says that such a heinous person, can he die? It's none of my business.
After we entered the police station, Tie Donkey and Yin Yin made some reports and explanations to the police at the police station, and then we went out of the police station again and came to the hotel to rest.
I was tired and tired, but I felt that it was not time to rest, so I mentioned it to Tie Donkey and Yin Yin, and then returned to work, but they both spoke the same tone and said that they wanted to rest.
I found out that their statement was a white "lie", I was really resting, they must have something to hide from me, and they always sneaked out.
I couldn't help but ask them, they just walked around and didn't tell the truth.
After two days in this way, when it was almost evening, I couldn't help it, and while the iron donkey and Yin Yin were out, I also quietly slipped out and returned to the police station.
At this time, the police station was off duty, and only a few police officers had not left, so I found one at random and asked about the case of the Demon Heart Arhat, what the latest progress was.
This police officer must have received some letter, and he was at a loss for me.
Don't look at me as good-tempered with Iron Donkey and Yinyin, but I'm really not kind to him.
I said in my heart that no matter how I say that I am also from the special case team, although I am the fourth-in-command in the four-person team, I am also an external commissioner.
I pressed him with words. I'll admit it's a bit of a snail, but it works. The officer couldn't bear it anymore and told me everything he knew.
The first is the matter of the two murdered travelers, according to the police investigation, these two travelers went to the ghost lake to explore after coming to Xiaguang Town. The two of them must have bumped into the secret of the Demon Heart Arhat, that is, Lei Tao, and then they were killed.
In addition, the Demon Heart Arhat really has a lot of crimes, according to the report from the second batch of soldiers who went to the Holy Land to carry out missions, a total of forty-two child corpses were found there, all of which were lost children in Xiaguang Town and surrounding towns. Moreover, the Demon Heart Arhat has also developed a small team, and there is one of his most powerful assistants in the Holy Land, who is responsible for alchemy.
I guess this assistant is the skinny monk I met with Iron Donkey.
To be honest, I'm not very interested in these situations. After the police officer finished reporting, I directly asked him three key questions: first, the dead children in the holy place all had small wooden signs on them, and they said that they were like ghosts, what did they mean? The second is that the Demon Heart Arhat mentioned Danding, but does the police know what it does without it? Third, what is the connection between the Demon Heart Arhat and the Wuzhou Living Corpse Case?
I felt that I was asking very clearly and clearly, but who knew that the police officer was a little confused after listening to it, saying that he didn't understand my three questions at all.
I wanted to press him again, but this kid was very smart, and he secretly ran away by covering his crotch and urinating.
This makes me angry, but I add it up again, forget it, they are all police officers after all, and I always force words, and I don't mean that.
I was a little tired, so I found a random table to sit next to.
I tried to smooth out the Demon Heart Arhat case through the information I have so far, but the news is still too little, and I really accidentally remembered another thing.
Jiang Shaoyan said that there is a flea market in the north of the town, and there are people selling Danding in it.
I don't know if the person who sold the Danding is still alive and will be arrested because of the case of the Demon Heart Arhat, but I don't want to give up this opportunity, and I don't care if the sky is dark now.
I quickly got up and headed north of the town.
The police station was quite close to the north of the town, and I arrived in a short time. It's just that there are no more people in the flea market, and the rest of the scattered stall owners also have the intention of closing the stalls.
I pressed my temper and walked around the stalls, and the stall owners didn't know what I was looking for, and when I came to the stall, they enthusiastically opened the stalls.
I found that there are a lot of miscellaneous things sold here, most of which are hardware and equipment. But when I got to the very bottom of the market, my eyes lit up.
There was a stall full of small cages, which contained rats and rabbits, and the stall was not in a hurry to close the stall, sitting on a small pony, smoking dry tobacco.
I went straight to him and crouched down to look at the little animals.
The stall owner ignored me, thinking about things, but I couldn't ignore him, so I simply lowered my voice and asked first, "Brother, are you selling Danding?" ”
Actually, I'm not sure, this kind of question is purely deceptive. But he shook and looked up at me.
I don't know why he wasn't arrested by the police, but he was a little sensitive, so he leaned forward and replied quietly, "You know Danding?" ”
I laughed, and made up my mind to recite everything I knew about Danding, so that he would think I was an expert.
I deliberately kept a calm face, pointed to the mice and rabbits, and said, "Danding is raising poisonous insects on dead corpses, you Danding is not authentic, how can you sell all living things?" ”
I thought he would change my mind even more about this and tell me some secrets, but who knew that he shook his head and laughed, saying that I was a half-ass.
I'm definitely not convinced, and it's half-hearted to refute him.
The stall owner was very interesting, he directly opened a cage and took out a mouse. This rat is alive, not in a good state, and a little stunned.
He said to me, "Brother, Danding is this thing, it is fed to live creatures, you must have seen a dead corpse with poisonous insects, in fact, it is a finished product in the later stage, once it is refined, the dead body can be eaten after a period of time, so that people's physique can be greatly changed, and it can also prolong life, and if the refining fails, the dead body will be wasted, just throw it away." I don't sell finished products here, only semi-finished products in the early stage, if you think it's okay, just buy one and go back to raise it yourself, if you don't think it's okay, let's say goodbye. ”
I understand, to put it bluntly, it is risky to "raise" Danding, this stall owner is very slippery, and he doesn't want to make more trouble.
I really don't have much interest in the so-called raising Danding to change my physique, but I vaguely feel that this kind of thing like Danding seems to have something to do with the Demon Ding I brought, and it is also very involved in the Demon Heart Arhat case.
I started from these two levels and paid attention to Danding.
I didn't want to pick and I wouldn't pick, so I simply pointed to the little mouse in the stall owner's hand and said, "How do you sell this?" ”
The stall owner said that the price was ten yuan. In total, it's not very expensive, and I can afford it.
I happily took the money and wanted to take the little mouse away, but the frustration came, the stall owner didn't know the money in my hand, and said that it was fake money.
I know that Xiaguang Town still uses the old version of the yuan, and my new yuan, which has nothing to do with spending elsewhere, is almost no different from a blank sheet of paper here.
I had no choice but to argue with the stall owner, but he didn't listen.
I finally pinched a hundred-dollar bill, but I couldn't afford to spend it. I thought of another stupid trick, and said that it would be okay to ask the police officer at the police station for some money, or to ask them directly for ten yuan, and it would not be impossible to talk about it.
I made up my mind to ask the stall owner to wait for me for a while. I turned around and went back to the police station.
I was in a hurry, and I walked into a small alley, and when I went around a small alley, I unexpectedly appeared.
It was so dark that I didn't dare to go too fast, and all of a sudden, two figures appeared on the wall in front of me and behind me, and they both turned over from the wall.
Well, they blocked me one after the other.
I could vaguely see that they were all wearing trench coats, which was not the dress of the townspeople of Xiaguang Town, they must also be outsiders.
What's wrong with my heart? Isn't the case of the Demon Heart Arhat not over yet?
