Chapter 15: The Ghost Killing
"And when did this man die?" I grabbed the previous photo, the same position, the same smashed mess, this is clearly a certain connection.
"It was also the night of three days ago, but the body was found by the walkers in the early morning of the next day!"
The middle-aged policeman lit a cigarette and took a deep breath, and the car was full of choking smoke.
"I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Zhou Feng, I remember your name is Song Xiaobao?"
"You doubt, this is on the picture...... Something, ran out and killed someone three days ago? "I don't know how to describe that horrible back.
"It's a coincidence that the guy was photographed near the place where the body was found, but it's interesting to ......," the middle-aged policeman rolled down the window and continued.
"The person who took the photograph and found the body is the same person."
It was only then that I figured out that the kind of black box that emits flashes of light is called a camera.
"Could it be that someone is playing tricks? Take advantage of this incident to cover people's eyes. ”
My eyes were once again on the blurred back, after all, there were a lot of onlookers that night, and when the bodies were carried out of the pit, maybe someone peeked at them.
"It's not that simple!" The middle-aged policeman sighed and handed me two more photos.
There is also a man in the photo, a man whose half of his face was smashed by something, and he can't die anymore, but this time the framing seems to be a small courtyard with overgrown weeds.
"That thing did it?"
I've seen this kind of picture a lot, and I'm almost used to it, and the stomach discomfort is not so bad.
Zhou Feng told me that there were no eyewitnesses this time, but judging from the condition of the deceased's wounds, it should have been caused by a relatively sharp stone, and judging from the technique, it was about the same as in another case.
"Even if that's the case, doesn't it mean that it's a ghost killing people?" When I said this, I didn't believe it in my own heart, because the wound was so similar.
"I forgot to tell you that the two people who were killed knew each other, and you should know them too!"
After listening to Zhou Feng's words, I swallowed my saliva, picked up the photo and carefully identified it, the clothes of those two people were indeed local residents, even if there was still a complete half of the face, but I really didn't have any impression.
I said, can we just stop selling it, what can't we say in one go?
Zhou Feng said that these two people were one of those thugs who were instructed by Li Shan to get rid of me more than ten days ago.
I knew there was no need for the man in front of me to lie to me on such a question, but I really lost my impression, and that night, my mind was always groggy and my eyes were not good, and I still remember clearly.
"When we interrogated Li Ergou, this kid couldn't bear the pressure and gave it all away, including the matter of pretending to ask you to exorcise evil spirits, and after the matter was revealed, he wanted to kill you, and the names of these two people were in the list of accomplices!"
This is called Skynet's magnificence, and retribution is unpleasant!
That night, the thugs fled in disarray, and when they were arrested, a few of them ran away, but a few days later, one died on the street and the other died in his old house.
I suddenly understood what Zhou Feng meant, he should have thought that it was the miner with a rotten face who turned into a ghost in order to take revenge, so he killed people in the town one after another, no wonder he said before that no one could help except me.
Except for the yellow-skinned boy in the mine, most of the rest of the people were dying of thirst, and the tunnel was filled with water, causing it to collapse, but not a drop was saved, which is really providential.
If the Li family's father and son had been able to report it as soon as possible, or if they had organized people to dig up the mine, the vast majority of the people inside would not have died.
So I think that if it is really the revenge of the ghost of the dead miner, it should be Li Shan and his son who suffer first, after all, they are the culprits.
According to Zhou Feng, because the two people committed a big crime and had an extremely bad impact, they had already been brought to the province and were now in a state of detention.
The only reason that can be explained is that for some reason, the miner's ghost has no way to get out of here, so he can only attack other people.
I can also understand why a police officer would suddenly believe these ghosts, because it's a bit strange, and the country is already full of ghosts, and when you encounter something incomprehensible, you usually blame it.
I remember that I once asked Zhou Feng if he believed that there were ghosts in this world, and the other party was always secretive and unwilling to answer positively.
I know that as a public official, I can't spread these ghosts and gods at all, but I can't say exactly what I think in my heart.
"Then what plan do you have for me to come?" I finally got to the point.
This police uncle, isn't it because I saved his life by mistake last time, and I really think of me as a master?
Zhou Feng lowered his voice and said mysteriously.
"We recently found out that a guy named Lao Wu is going to quietly return to the town these days to visit his wife, and it is very likely that it will be tonight!"
The person named Lao Wu was naturally one of the fugitives who were not caught that day.
I completely understood what Zhou Feng meant, the fifth child is going to appear, if there is really a ghost, of course, he has to ask for his life directly, this police uncle clearly wants to use my ability to distinguish whether the murderer is a human or a demon.
"No matter what the killer is, it must not continue to go unpunished!"
The tone of the middle-aged policeman was as sharp as a burst of gaze in his deep eyes.
"That'...... Am I assisting the government in handling the case, is there anything like that......" I made a gesture of rubbing my fingers.
"What do you want? Now the country is vigorously rectifying feudal superstition, you actually claim to be a Taoist priest, and you catch ghosts and demons everywhere, and the last time it was in front of your master, I didn't stab you! ”
The righteousness of the middle-aged policeman's words was awe-inspiring, and I was speechless.
When I was eating in the town, I learned that my old Taoist master had helped Zhou Feng once, and it seemed that there was also a bizarre murder, so this time when something happened, this guy found me.
For the first time in his life, he participated in the arrest of government personnel, and he was proud in his heart, and he would have to blow it when he returned to the village in the future.
But at night, squatting outside the courtyard wall of the old five houses was bitten by mosquitoes, and I couldn't smoke, I realized that I regretted it.
Zhou Feng said that the police force in the town is limited, so counting me tonight, there are only four people in total, including the female policeman I met that day, and a young man who claims to be Zhou Feng's apprentice.
For my arrival, these two people showed incomprehension and disdain, and Zhou Feng didn't say anything, just told me to do my part, if there is really any situation in a while, everything is under his command, don't act arbitrarily.
In fact, I'd rather believe that it's not ghosts that kill people, just my few brushes, in case I see the real chapter, it's not enough to read.
When it was almost midnight, sleepiness hit, and he couldn't hold it anymore, and he was just about to lean on the pile of bricks next to him to take a nap, when Zhou Feng next to him sat up coldly.
I was shocked, and I also learned from Zhou Feng's example, and came to his side, and there were a few crickets not far away, and I vaguely remembered that it was Zhou Feng's apprentice and the policewoman who were guarded there.
"Don't make a sound...... Zhou Feng lowered his voice and whispered into my ear.
My heart was already beating together, and it felt like the first time I peeked at my neighbor's aunt taking a shower.
Sure enough, there was a situation in front of him, a sturdy man sneakily walked over the wall, in the middle of the night, and he didn't take the right path, of course, he had a ghost in his heart.
The man was bareheaded, in the cold moonlight, bright and clear as if he had been smeared with oil, first guarded the courtyard wall and looked east and west like a mouse, and waited for about a few minutes, then he directly picked up the wall and climbed over the wall.
"Don't you go up?" I was a little nervous, knowing that this must be the old five.
"What's the hurry? The Lord hasn't appeared yet! ”
As soon as Zhou Feng said this, I remembered that the target for tonight was not the fifth child, but after waiting for nearly 20 minutes, I couldn't freeze, and there was no movement inside and outside the house.
Even Zhou Feng next to him was a little breathless, and couldn't stop looking around.
"Isn't that thing coming?" I couldn't help it anymore and asked in a low voice.
"Don't make a sound!"
At this time, on the courtyard wall of the old five families, a slippery head poked out, and the thief head and thief brain looked around for a while, and slid down from the wall very lightly, it is hard to imagine that the five big and three thick men are so agile.
Seeing that this guy was about to run away, Zhou Feng still looked around tightly, even I was anxious for him, and there were people who were more anxious than me at this time.
"Old Five, you stop for me!"
With a broken drink, two figures jumped out from behind the haystack on the opposite side, one after the other, and chased after the bald head directly.
"These two things!"
Zhou Feng scolded and jumped out directly, as if to tell me to stay where I am and not run around.
How could I be so obedient, I stood up and planned to move my sore muscles and bones, but unexpectedly, my eyes were dark, and I almost didn't fall to the ground, and I squatted for too long, and I was a little hypoxic.
Just as I was hesitating to chase after me, I suddenly noticed a black shadow standing in the open space not far from me.
The moonlight was faint and unreal, but the general outline could still be distinguished, and my heart tightened, and the thing slowly turned around, and its half-broken face seemed to smile at me strangely.
"That thing has appeared!"
