Chapter 44: Finding the Roots
Shen Changshan saw the old man's extraordinary, and secretly reminded Dongfang Xiaobai to be careful. But he also knew that the hints given by the cursed world could not be wrong, and this old man could only be a low-level executor. Even if a cursed thing can be rented, I'm afraid you can't borrow a high-level cursed thing. If this old man has bad intentions, then with the strength of him and Dongfang Xiaobai, the old man is definitely not an opponent! As for Gong Xinxiang, a low-level executor, the cursed thing is also the lowest level, and Shen Changshan didn't pay attention to it at all.
However, Shen Changshan also considered the worst-case scenario, because now that the two of them have signed an agreement, there is a boundary marker, and there will be no accidents.
In this way, not long after, Director Li ran back sweaty. Originally, there were a few police officers who saw that the director was working so hard and wanted to help, but how could Director Li give up this opportunity? So he personally sent it to Shen Changshan.
Turning over the hard disk containing the archives, Zhou Wansheng patted Director Li on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, nothing will go wrong." When I went back, I told my dad that it was too troublesome to always call you Acting Director Li, and I would like to find a way to remove the pronouns. ”
As soon as he heard Zhou Wansheng's words, Director Li was happy on the spot, if it weren't for the fact that he was too carried away and offended the person in front of him, Director Li would probably look up to the sky and roar! But despite this, Director Li also waved his fist twice as he returned to his car to show his excitement.
At this time, Dongfang Xiaobai had already rushed from his ward to Shen Changshan's ward. The old man and Gong Xinxiang also came over, ready to see if they could find the information they wanted.
The information given to him by Director Li is not particularly complete. It's just that at his request, there is information from four months ago, all the way up to three years ago. But despite that. The number of homicides is also very high. After all, Zhouhai City is a big city and a coastal city, and I am afraid that many drug dealers have smuggled into the country from here and then carried out drug trafficking activities.
And when the city is bigger, there are more people. When there are more people, law and order will decline correspondingly, and people will die almost every day. So there are a lot of files from three years ago to four months ago.
Fortunately, they don't need too much information. Just look for those three places. This task was too onerous, so Shen Changshan separated it into two groups. He and Dongfang Xiaobai were responsible for checking the two places in Dongcheng District, and the remaining one in Xicheng District was handed over to the old man and Gong Xinxiang.
This makes it much quicker to look up. They immediately identified a number of cases that had occurred in these three locations. There are even a few cases that are headless, which means that the Zhouhai City Public Security Bureau has not solved the case. Most of these cases are the work of drug dealers.
But soon, a case caught Shen Changshan's attention.
This is a case that happened in the garden community of Dongcheng District, and the case happened a year ago. The deceased in this case is named Zhao Xiang. Die in your own home. The cause of death was hanging. Let's be honest. Seeing the word hanging, Shen Changshan thought that he had read it wrong, but he looked at it again and found that it was undoubtedly these two words.
Shen Changshan knew about hanging, but he only knew that it only existed in feudal society, and it was a rather cruel punishment. It is to first tie the victim to something like a cross. Of course, there were no crosses in ancient China. A noose is then placed around the victim's neck, and a winch, which is attached to a winch, is shaken. The noose over there will move backwards. But because it is put around a person's neck, it will break the person's neck. And the cruelest thing is not here. Rather, this kind of punishment requires that a person cannot be hanged at once, but that he will be hanged only after he has been tortured enough several times!
According to police speculation, Zhao Xiang should have died in a vendetta. Because Zhao Xiang is not a good person himself, he once went to prison for drug abuse. Later, I heard that he was in the business of drug trafficking again. In the end, the daughter-in-law led her son away, and he was left alone at home.
Later, I heard that he had not shown up for a whole week, and his neighbor smelled a foul stench coming from his house, so he called the police. When the police came, they found that Zhao Xiang had been dead for a long time.
However, there were two other men who died here with him, and after police identification, it was found that both of them were well-known drug trafficking bosses in Zhouhai City. And looking at the death of these two people, they were scared to death by life!
At that time, after collecting evidence, the police found that these two people should have killed Zhao Xiang. And these two guys seem to have used Zhao Xiang's home as their temporary stronghold. As for why they died in the end and why they were scared to death, the police also gave a reasonable guess.
That's a drug overdose! In the drug trafficking industry, except for some bigwigs who don't take drugs, I'm afraid that the horses under my command will be more or less involved in drugs. Or simply like Zhao Xiang started sucking first, and then switched to selling and sucking. After an overdose of drugs, it will cause people to hallucinate, and the two of them just killed Zhao Xiang, Zhao Xiang's body was still by their side, and they even looked at them with wide eyes, I am afraid that they were scared to death in this way.
However, Shen Changshan didn't care about the police's analysis, because there are always ghosts in this world! Of course, the police can't give such an explanation as ghost killing, but it doesn't have to be like that! Especially the way this man died, hanging! How similar this is to having your neck strangled. It's just that the ghost's methods are more intense, not to stop by strangling the trachea, but directly strangling the bones.
Thinking of this, Shen Changshan immediately called Dongfang Xiaobai. At this time, Dongfang Xiaobai was looking at the archives of another place, and when she heard Shen Changshan calling her, she walked over. After reading this file, she also felt that eight or nine were inseparable, so she called the old man and Gong Xinxiang on the other side and decided that the three of them would go to see it together.
The old man and Gong Xinxiang both nodded in agreement, but the old man said, "Is it safe to leave Zhou Shao here alone?" What if the ghost returns? As he spoke, he glanced at Shen Changshan.
"Don't worry, we're all ready, brother-in-law he's still safe." Dongfang Xiaobai replied instead of Shen Changshan. She gave Shen Changshan all the five blood charms she drew today, and Shen Changshan still had two intermediate curses in his hands. If he dies like this, then he is destined for this fate. It is commonly known as bad luck.
It didn't take long for Dongfang Xiaobai, the old man, and Gong Xinxiang to drive to the garden community. The garden complex is not large, with only six buildings. Zhao Xiang's home is Room 601, Unit 3, Building 2. However, when they came to the second building, they found that the neighborhood was full of notices saying "This house is for sale"! There are not only two buildings, but also one and four adjacent buildings.
Dongfang Xiaobai paid attention to it, basically every unit in this garden community has such a notice! This would have been almost impossible before, because the property prices in this area are skyrocketing, how could anyone be willing to sell? But now it seems that everyone is selling, but no one is buying!
After inquiring around, I found out that this community was haunted! And the haunted place is Room 601, Unit 3 of Building 2, which is Zhao Xiang's home! Hearing that there were really ghosts, the three of them were not only not afraid, but quite happy, because this showed that they had come to the right place!
But I heard that the past few months have been much better, and I can't hear ghosts screaming in the middle of the night, so many people have removed the notices. After all, it's a good house, and the people who live here are not all rich, so if you sell the house, I'm afraid you won't be able to find such a good house. If you come here a few months in advance, it's not even a common sight!
Dongfang Xiaobai was puzzled and continued to ask. However, most of the residents were afraid to say more. An eighty-year-old man said slowly: "In the past few months, every night in that house, someone would shout, saying, 'Be a good baby and be a good person in the next life.'" After half a year like this, not many people dare to live here. However, a few months ago, the shouting was gone, so a few people moved back one after another. I'm also a person who is about to enter the earth, and I don't want to toss more, so I have been living here, and I can hear that voice every night. ”
Dongfang Xiaobai and the others glanced at each other, and immediately understood what the other party meant, that is, this is it!
However, Chen Dashao's "child" gesture and Shen Changshan's guessed "mother" can't be explained. But there are so many unexplained things in the cursed world. If you want to know the truth, you can only ask the dead people below. It's just that they don't understand the language of the dead, and even if they channel Zhang Xiaomin over, they can only hear an ambiguity, and some words can't be heard.
Now that you've determined the location of the ghost's main body, the next step is to find the curse! It's just that this is often the most dangerous time, because as soon as a human gets close to the cursed thing, then the ghost will immediately sense it! Because in the quest world, ghosts must depend on cursed things in order to exist. You want to take away someone's home in this world, can they not come to you?
But even if it's dangerous, they have to go! Because in the cursed world, you must face it bravely, if you can't face your fear, then you will only die faster.
So after the four of them glanced at each other, they saw the determination in each other's eyes, that is, to go up and find the cursed thing and end the mission! There are three of them now, and among them there are two medium-level cursed things, three low-level cursed things, and even a spirit medium, with such a combination of strength, they can definitely break into the haunted house! (To be continued......)
