Chapter 243: One Track and the Same Wind
When I came to the place of the incident, there was a middle-aged man lying at the foot of the bald head, perming the curly hair that was popular in the nineties, with a painful expression on his face.
Lao Jia took out the compass, looked at it carefully, and said very suspiciously: "This guy is a person, is he a vampire?"
Not far from the middle-aged man, there was a twenty-five or sixteen-year-old woman who had her artery cut by a sharp object, and blood was flowing all over the ground, and she was hopeless. Beside the woman lay a hammer, a dagger, and a wooden stick, and at the top of the stick, there were six extremely long iron nails, and the iron nails were pierced around the neck, much like the marks of a zombie bite.
Cheng Hao's anger was ignited, and he kicked the man's cheek fiercely, and shouted: "I've killed a few people!"
Although the middle-aged man was subdued, the expression on his face was still very arrogant, lying on the ground and laughing arrogantly.
"I'll make you laugh!" While speaking, Cheng Hao kicked the middle-aged man's lips hard. The middle-aged man vomited blood from his mouth and spit out a few teeth at the same time, but he still had an arrogant smile on his face, and there was no fear in it.
Leng Ai sighed lightly and said coldly: "Call the police!"
Wang Sheng asked, "Is he a vampire?"
Leng Ai replied coldly: "He's not, although he's not a vampire, but he's even more terrifying than a vampire, he's killed more than forty people, he's simply a demon." ”
The word surprise was written on everyone's faces, and the middle-aged man looked so ordinary that he would do such an hateful thing. Although this has nothing to do with their task, Wang Sheng is eager to break the middle-aged man's body into thousands of pieces, so he calls the police, which seems to be a bit cheap for him.
Cheng Hao picked up the wooden stick next to the female corpse, unloaded the iron nail on the wooden stick, the middle-aged man's hands and feet were nailed to the ground by Cheng Hao with iron nails, he still didn't feel relieved in his heart, and kicked the middle-aged man's head fiercely, after a few kicks, the middle-aged man's nose and mouth were bleeding, lying on the ground and dying, if it wasn't for Wang Sheng to stop him, Cheng Hao could have kicked the middle-aged man to death on the spot.
The sound of the siren pierced the night sky, Wang Sheng stood on the roof of the building, looking at the flashing police lights, his heart was full of flavors, living in a harmonious society, not cherishing a good life, but doing a lot of evil, is it a lack of faith in his heart, or the law is not sound enough?
The second type of rumor can be ruled out, and there is no point in continuing to stay here, there are still rumors about the woman in red and the chemist, and the night is the time for the vampire to act, Leng Ai decided to go to Nanhui District to wait for a while.
Nanhui District is located at the southeast end of Shanghai, bordering Hangzhou Bay in the south, East China Sea in the east, Pudong New Area in the north, Fengxian District and Minhang District in the west, covering an area of about 810 square kilometers and having a coastline of nearly 60 kilometers. Rumor has it that the vampire incident occurred in the coastal area, but the coastline is too long and there are no tall buildings, so they can only check along the coastline little by little.
The night passed quickly, Wang Sheng and the four of them did not sleep, but Lao Jia was different, he was hired, and before he arrived in Nanhui District, he sat in the motorcycle and fell asleep. After dawn, Wang Sheng and the four of them were sleepy and tired, and they walked all morning without any valuable clues.
At noon, Wang Sheng gave Lao Jia 10,000 yuan and asked him to inquire about the rumors about vampires, and the four of them stayed at the beach for a short rest, the sky slowly darkened, Lao Jia came back drunk, Leng Ai glared at Lao Jia in disgust, and didn't ask him what happened.
Riding a motorcycle, wandering aimlessly along the coastline, at about ten o'clock in the evening, Leng Ai suddenly shouted: "Wait." ”
Wang Sheng asked, "What's wrong?"
Leng Ai frowned and said, "There is a coffin in the sea. ”
"You're wrong!" Cheng Hao said, putting on sunglasses that were expected to function as a telescope, and a wooden box resembling a coffin floated on the sea, and he couldn't be sure if it was a coffin due to the dark sky.
Cheng Hao said suspiciously: "There seems to be a coffin floating in the sea." ”
Wang Sheng said: "Let's go over and have a look!"
Lao Jia didn't know that their motorcycle had amphibious functions, and he didn't know how to play yet, seeing that Cheng Hao was going to ride a motorcycle to the sea, Lao Jia hurriedly jumped off the motorcycle: "You're crazy, this is the sea, you want to die, I don't want to die!"
No one paid attention to him, drove the motorcycle straight to the sea, and on the coastline, Lao Jia looked at the four people in the distance in surprise.
There was indeed a coffin floating on the surface of the sea, and it was dilapidated on all sides, and the place where it met the surface of the water was completely decomposed, the bottom of the coffin was gone, and the corpses inside did not know where to go.
The bald head touched his shiny head and asked, "Why is this thing here?"
Leng Ai shook her head: "I don't know either." ”
After returning to the coast, Lao Jia asked, "Do you see it? What is that?"
Wang Sheng replied: "It's really a coffin, but I don't know why it floats on the sea!"
Lao Jia smiled lightly: "What's so strange about this! The customs are different in different places, and there are many kinds of burial methods for the dead, such as cremation, tree burial, earth burial, sea burial, etc., this is not surprising." ”
Cheng Hao asked curiously: "Is the sea burial pushing the coffin into the sea?"
Lao Jia thought for a while and replied: "Almost, some places put the corpse in the coffin and push it directly into the sea, and some places scatter people's ashes into the sea, maybe this is the custom of this place." ”
The bald head touched the oily head and asked, "What if the coffin floats back?"
"Isn't it over when you push it back?"
Wang Sheng smiled bitterly: "This is a little too terrifying!"
Lao Jia replied disapprovingly: "What's this, it's good to get used to it, I feel that we should go to the neighborhood to inquire if there is a custom of sea burial here." ”
Lao Jia's suggestion is very good, but it is already late at night, and if you want to find out the news, you can only wait until the next day, at midnight, everyone found a sheltered place and set up a tent, Lao Jia saw that Wang Sheng actually had arms in their trunk, and he was inevitably a little uneasy in his heart.
Sleep peacefully, the sun rises more than one person high, the four of them wake up from the dream, simply eat breakfast, the four of them take the current location as the center, expand outward in a fan shape, under the temptation of money, the villagers reveal a new clue to them.
There is indeed a custom of burial at sea, but the state clearly stipulates that the deceased must be cremated, and this custom has long since ceased to exist, and burial at sea has disappeared since. One day a few months ago, two identical coffins suddenly floated on the shore, and the coffins were very new, depending on the degree of immersion of the coffins, it would not take more than three days at most.
The locals were very curious, but at the same time very confused, they had not been buried at sea for at least five years, so where did these brand-new coffins come from? A few curious villagers pried the coffins open, and terrible things happened, many people saw dead people crawling out of the coffins, and when they met people, they would bite and bite them, and they would not let go of their mouths, and they sucked blood fiercely. The young and strong people immediately united, and while confronting the dead bodies, two villagers died, and the biting corpses were also killed. Fearing that the dead would be resurrected, and that the two villagers who had been sacrificed would also become blood-sucking monsters, the villagers burned them along with the coffins.
After this incident, the village chief ordered everyone not to tell about it, but too many people knew about it, and this matter still spread far and wide, and many curious people came here to inquire, and the villagers unanimously said that a few psychopaths ran out and pretended to be vampires. Over time, vampires have been rumored to be patients in mental hospitals. But where did these two coffins come from, and what were the dead bodies that bit people, and since then it has become a mystery for the ages.
Wang Sheng and the others never expected that the first kind of rumor of mental illness would spread like this, and there is nowhere to know where the two coffins came from, but last night, whether the coffins they saw were related to this matter still need further certification.
Tempted by heavy money, a bold villager ran to the sea on Wang Sheng's motorcycle, and it took two hours to find the rotting coffin he saw yesterday. The villagers saw at a glance that the coffin was exactly the same as the one that had drifted to the seashore, and Wang Sheng pulled the coffin back to the beach with a rope while giving the villagers an extra 1,000 yuan.
Wang Sheng asked Xiang Lao Jia: "You are a Taoist priest, can you see any difference in the coffin?"
Lao Jia took the compass very seriously and looked at it for a long time, and then dismantled all the coffins, carefully looked at every detail, and after more than half an hour, Lao Jia said plainly: "The coffin is water nanmu, not worth a few dollars, the coffin is rough in workmanship, there is no carving decoration, and there is no trace of refinement, it should be made by ordinary people themselves." The whole coffin was originally soaked in water, and because the bottom was rotten, it floated up. There is a saying in Taoism that water belongs to yin, and the soul also belongs to yin, if a person puts the body on the water after death, then the deceased will easily reach Elysium, but if the deceased is soaked in water, the soul of the deceased will not find the way to reincarnate, if the deceased is not fished out of the water within seven or four hundred and forty-nine days, the deceased will become a water ghost, and need to find a substitute to be liberated, if it is after ninety-nine eighty-one days, then the deceased will never be reborn. ”
Wang Sheng held his chin and asked, "Did the sea burial press the coffin to the bottom of the sea?"
Lao Jia replied: "No! Sea burial is to let the deceased float to the water, and the residents near the sea are generally buried at sea, and the custom that has been passed down for so long, will they not know?"
Leng Ai said: "I feel that things are not so simple, I feel that we have to dive into the water to have a look!"
Cheng Hao looked crying: "Still diving, have you forgotten about Poyang Lake?"
Wang Sheng took out the diving equipment, threw it to Cheng Hao, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, there are no poor beasts here, we have to go down to have a look, I suspect that there is more than this coffin on the bottom of the sea." ”
Five people came to the sea where the coffin was found, Wang Sheng and the four of them jumped into the water, Lao Jia saw that Wang Sheng and the four of them were gone, he wanted to drive the motorcycle majestic, but no matter how hard he tried, the motorcycle was always motionless, and finally he had to give up this idea, sitting in the pocket of the motorcycle, honestly with Wang Sheng and the four of them.
Wang Sheng and the four of them dived to the bottom of the water, and did not find the same coffin, the four of them took the dive site as the center, and slowly looked around, and the four of them were dumbfounded when they found the coffin more than a mile away. Under the calm water, there are dense coffins, and they are all the same. Since the villagers had said that the biting corpses had crawled out of the coffins, the four did not dare to open them.
After returning to the water, Lao Jia asked curiously, "Is there anything you found below?"
Wang Sheng shook the water on his head and said, "There are at least more than 200 coffins underwater!"
"What?" Lao Jia exclaimed, "More than two hundred, what are you going to do?
