152, the strange bride (above) two-in-one
"Yes, yes, yes!"
In advance of his son Niu Li, the face of the peasant couple who had experienced the vicissitudes of life suddenly appeared sad, and the peasant woman said with red eyes:
"My son Niu Li is twenty-three this year, and he does small work on the street on weekdays, he is honest and diligent, and he is a good guy praised by all the neighbors. But just half a month ago, late one night, my son disappeared at home for no apparent reason, and I don't know where he went.
When we found out in the morning, we were so anxious that we mobilized all the neighbors to help us find him, but my son seemed to have evaporated from the world, and no one in the vicinity had ever seen him. Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and the lord of the yamen has investigated many times, but my son has not come back yet, I'm afraid it's ......."
As the peasant woman spoke, sorrow came from it, tears fell from the corners of her eyes, and her husband on the side also had red eyes.
In this grotesque world, an inexplicable disappearance is equivalent to death, and they also know that they have not heard from their children for such a long time, and they are afraid that they are no longer in the world.
"Inexplicably missing ...... at home"
Lu Zheng's mind is telephonic:
"Didn't you hear anything that night?"
"Movement ......"
The couple looked at each other and hesitated:
"My husband and wife slept very hard during the day, and vaguely we heard something coming from a distant place, and I remember that we were scared, but we couldn't wake up as if we were in a nightmare, and then I heard from other neighbors, and I realized that it was a woman's cry......"
Ghost press?
Lu Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and his face remained unchanged:
"Where is your son Niu Li's room, take us to see. ”
The farmer couple nodded hurriedly, took Lu Zheng and the others into the small courtyard, and then pushed away the side house next to the main house.
The room is not big, although the doors and windows are broken and leaky, there is no sign of damage, and there are no other furnishings except for a table and a bed.
Entering this extremely simple room, the demon slayers under him immediately scattered and came to inspect everywhere, until they arrived under the bed, Kong Wei, who was in charge of the inspection, stared slightly, and outlined something with a scabbard:
"Deputy Lieutenant Lu, look!"
Lu Zheng looked at it and found that it was a pair of tattered ordinary straw sandals.
stepped forward and squinted his eyes to take a closer look, Lu Zheng asked without looking back:
"Have you ever had a room in this room?"
The peasant woman hurriedly said:
"No, no, as soon as we found out that my son was missing, we couldn't find it, so we immediately reported the case, and then the master of the yamen came to check first? And bless us not to spoil the scene? So we haven't touched this room much. ”
The man said with fear and horror:
"These straw sandals were left by my son? All he has is this pair of shoes? On the day he disappeared, we saw that the shoes were not there, so we immediately went to report the crime. ”
The shoes are still there, but the man is missing......
This information is undoubtedly not mentioned in the dossier, inside and outside the house? Kong Wei, Yang Zilin and the other demon slayers glanced at each other? Solemn face:
"And when you found out in the morning? Is there a courtyard gate in this house? Is it on or off?"
The two couples said in fear: "Yes, yes, yes? Did you forget to tell the adults? When we find out, whether it is the door of the house or the door of the courtyard? It's all open. But the courtyard gate was obviously fastened from the inside at night, which ......"
A few demon slayers look at each other? In his heart, he was awe-inspiring: "Could it be that the missing person walked out on his own?"
There was no breach of the portal? This seems like the only plausible explanation? The couple shuddered and couldn't help asking, "Ladies and gentlemen?" This, what the hell is going on??"
Lu Zheng twisted his brows and didn't answer? Instead, he stood up thoughtfully and walked out, waving his hand at the same time:
"Let's go, move on to the next one. ”
"Your Excellency, your Excellency, please wait a minute!"
The peasant couple hurriedly spoke up behind Lu Zheng and asked with a look of earnestness and expectation:
"Your well-informed adults, do you know what this is all about, is it possible that my son Niu Li is still alive?"
"We'll have to continue to check what is going on. ”
Such an incident is obviously related to evil, and the chances of the victim surviving are equal to none, Lu Zheng stopped and sighed lightly:
"As for your sons...... Let's mourn and change. ”
With that, he walked out of the courtyard with eight of his men, leaving only the couple whose only unrealistic expectations had been completely shattered, with a face full of disgrace, as if they were a few years old out of thin air.
......
After coming out, Lu Zheng didn't say much, and led the horse to continue to the residence of the next missing person for questioning.
The second missing person is also in this neighborhood, only a few hundred meters away from Niu Li's home, and he is also a young man who is not yet married, and after some inquiries and inspections of his parents and residence, the results are almost the same as Niu Li's condition, and after the cry of a strange woman is heard, this person disappeared from his room silently in the middle of the night.
And it is worth mentioning that the second missing person is also the same as Niu Li, although the person disappeared inexplicably, but the shoes were left in front of the bed! And his parents or neighbors heard the woman's crying as if nothing was there that night!
Then came the third, the fourth, the fifth......
It took nearly two hours for a total of seven or eight missing people's homes to be visited by Lu Zheng, and the results of the investigation were exactly the same.
"Strange ......"
The investigation of the home of the eighth missing person has been completed, and he walked out of the dilapidated farmhouse courtyard in the red sunlight of dusk, Lu Zheng's brows were tightly locked, and his eyes were full of doubts:
"What do you guys think?"
After this investigation, it is almost certain that these missing persons must have been committed by evil spirits. But there were a few things he hadn't thought clearly.
First of all, it is the so-called crying of women, which is obviously the direct cause of these people's disappearance. The question is that the missing person is not alone, there are other people in the family, why are they all safe and sound?
After all, according to Lu Zheng's current knowledge, evil is synonymous with madness and evil, and once it appears, it will inevitably cause death and killing, why is there such a strange situation?
Secondly, all the missing people seem to be unmarried young men, what is the reason for this? And some of these people even write superficial formulas, it stands to reason that a cat will struggle to resist when it is in danger, why are a few big living people with strong blood and blood silent, and disappear without even wearing shoes?
After all, he hadn't experienced many special evil events, and many doubts were emerging, and he didn't have a clue for a while.
"Lieutenant, the peculiar event is already strange and unpredictable, and we have not experienced this situation either. ”
The people behind him were also puzzled, and Yang Zilin replied with a frown:
"But as far as the current situation is concerned, no matter what it is, it is much more tricky than the evil spirits formed by ordinary evil possession. ”
The rest of them nodded approvingly, their hearts awe-inspiring.
In fact, there are not many special evil incidents, and each one of them is very strange and full of all kinds of unexpected risks, even if they are members of the special monitoring team, they are not often encountered.
"Is that ......?"
A few of his subordinates couldn't provide any useful experience, so Lu Zheng glanced at the sky and muttered:
"In that case, let's visit the homes of the remaining missing people again, and if there are still no clues, we will check again tomorrow!"
"Yes!"
Without saying a word, everyone agreed and followed Lu Zheng to the address of the next missing person.
The next missing person is named Leizi, who has just come of age, works as a small worker on the street, his parents died early, and he has been living with his brother and sister-in-law, and he has been missing for two days.
When I came to Ah Liang's house, the door was opened by a woman with simple makeup, who was Leizi's eldest sister-in-law.
Leizi's eldest brother works as a cook in a restaurant, and he has not yet finished work, and there is only one child of six or seven years old in the family except for this woman.
Seeing the visit of Lu Zheng and others, the woman took the child, welcomed Lu Zheng and the others in awe and fear, and brought them into the room where Leizi lived, and then began to answer questions one by one during the inspection of Kong Wei and others.
In this process, the child opened his eyes wide and hid timidly behind the woman, as if he was afraid and curious about the arrival of Lu Zheng and the others.
Soon, the inspection and questioning were completed, and the results obtained were the same as those of the previous ones, and the half-grown young man named Leizi also disappeared silently in his room at night, leaving his own shoes in front of the bed.
"So, your family didn't hear anything that night?"
The repetitive clue information was worthless, Kong Wei, Yang Zilin and others could not hide their disappointment, and looked at Lu Zheng:
"Deputy Lieutenant Lu, it looks like we have to go to the next one. ”
"Wait!"
However, in this process, Lu Zheng seemed to have discovered something, squinted his eyes and carefully looked at Leizi's eldest sister-in-law:
"Are you sure that Leizi is the only one living in this room, and your family didn't know about the night he disappeared?"
Unexpectedly, Lu Zheng would ask this question, the woman was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said in a panic:
"Yes, that's true, why do you ask?"
"Lie!"
Lu Zheng sneered:
"There are three rooms in your house, a large room, a side room, and a side room, if only the missing person lives in this side room, where will your children sleep?"
The woman was even more flustered, and stammered:
"Child, the child naturally slept with us as a couple......"
"With such a big child sleeping in the same room as your husband and wife, don't you husband and wife have to have the same room?"
Lu Zheng sneered and pointed to the wall on the other side that was obviously empty:
"Also, this place is obviously empty, since this house is only inhabited by the missing person, who drew the graffiti with a coal pen on this wall, and why is it seven feet above the ground?"
The rest of the demon slayers turned their eyes and saw that on the opposite side of the wooden bed, there was a faint trace of graffiti on the side of the wall, which was not cleaned, and it was seven feet above the ground.
The ghostly graffiti was obviously drawn by the child behind the woman, and the height and distance of the thin child were obviously out of reach, but if he was standing on the bed, it was just right, and this side of the room was inexplicably empty......
In an instant, all the demon slayers present suddenly became suspicious in their hearts, and Kong Wei's face turned even colder, and Sen Ran shouted:
"Bold fool, dare to hide from me! Do you know that not reporting to the Demon Exterminator is a felony enough to exile your family?"
"Ladies spare your lives, spare your lives!"
Kong Wei shouted and asked, and the cold was piercing, so frightened that the woman's face was as pale as earth, and her body was like chaff, and she fell to her knees with a pop, and the child behind her was so young that she didn't know what was going on, and she was also frightened and cried.
"That's it!"
Facing this orphan and widow, Lu Zheng didn't bother to pursue it, just frowned and said:
"I ask you, did your child live in the same room with the missing person before, why did you deceive so much, do you know something?"
The woman seemed to be terrified, and trembled, "We, we really, really dare not say it, dare not say it! Otherwise, my baby will be taken away by her......!"
Well?
An important clue was captured at once, and all the demon slayers' eyes suddenly lit up, and Lu Zheng said coldly:
"What the hell is it? Who took the missing person away? If you don't say it, I'll take your mother and son away today!"
"Wow-"
Lu Zheng is now also a great master of breaking the power barrier, his eyes are solemn, and he is full of oppression, and the child behind the woman cried louder, hugged the woman and said loudly:
"Don't bully my mother, uncle, he was taken away by the bride, it's none of my mother's business!"
The bride?
"What bride?"
An important clue was in front of him, Lu Zheng's eyebrows suddenly raised, and he looked at the woman:
"What the hell is the situation, from the truth, I can call the shots, and I won't blame you for what I have hidden from your family, otherwise I will ......"
"Yes, yes!"
Apparently unable to hide it anymore, the woman hugged her child tightly, wiped her tears, gritted her teeth, and said:
"My iron egg, before did live in the same room with Leizi, that night our husband and wife were too tired, and fell asleep soon after nightfall, and then, and then about the third watch, we suddenly faintly heard a crying sound like a woman, but at that time we were half asleep and half awake, like a ghost pressing the bed to wake up and not wake up.
Later, I don't know how long it took, Tie Dan suddenly ran from the side room next door to our house in a frightened way, shook us and my wife awake, and said, "......"
At this point, the woman's face was bloodless, and she was terrified:
"Tie Dan said that he got up to pee, but his uncle was not in the house, but stood at the gate of the courtyard, and was taken away by a woman wearing a red veil and covering her head......
What the?
Hearing the woman's story, Lu Zheng frowned slightly, and the rest of the demon slayer Rao had experienced several special evil events, and he couldn't help but feel a creepy feeling in his heart.
