Chapter 320: Cutting the flesh and removing the bones
Life is still tepid, Ye Xun is either busy with business every day, or takes Tang Jia to visit his daughter.
After being so calm for more than half a month, they seem to have forgotten about the existence of potential dangers.
But will life really be so smooth?
The answer is no.
I don't know when it began, a very strange "infectious disease" began to circulate in Nanluo City.
Anyone who is infected with this virus will not show any abnormalities at first, and only after a period of incubation will the body gradually develop abnormalities.
First of all, I had a headache, a high fever that did not go away, and I had no strength in my body, so I could only stay in bed for a long time.
Persistent high fever will cause these people to talk nonsense, and their behavior will become more and more abnormal.
In the end, these people infected with the epidemic will either be rigid in their thinking, slow to react, and become a vegetative existence, or more seriously, their bodies will be severely dehydrated and become a shriveled "humanoid zombie", and the sense of aggression will become stronger and stronger over time.
Officials imposed a tight lockdown on the matter, claiming that the city was only a special outbreak of "influenza type B".
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that an ominous cloud has long been shrouded over the city, and if this kind of thing is allowed to continue to ferment, I am afraid that the once lively and prosperous Nanluo City will eventually become a purgatory occupied by ghouls.
Public opinion and the direction of the wind in society have gradually changed, and people have begun to be restless, anxious, and selectively flee the city.
However, the higher-level officials in charge of handling the incident issued a death order, strictly ordering the residents to leave the jurisdiction of the city without permission, and in serious cases, they may even be imprisoned.
The development of the situation began to gradually get out of control, and at the same time as the panic came, the Civil Security Bureau led by Falcon also began to mobilize all staff to search for and arrest people with signs of infection everywhere, and carry out separate quarantine control.
Ye Xun runs a bar all day long, and naturally sees this phenomenon very thoroughly.
That night, the city had been in a state of panic for a long time, which also led to a bleak business at the bar, with few customers.
In order to have fun, Ye Xun had to accompany a few waitresses to play poker, but at this time, Huang Xing, who was in charge, hurriedly ran over and said in Ye Xun's ear,
"Brother Ye, there's an accident in the back, do you want to go and take a look?"
Ye Xun didn't say a word, put on his clothes and followed Huang Xing away, feeling the backyard of the bar, he saw Chen Ying standing at the end of the alley with a serious face, holding her hands on her chest, her face was particularly serious.
"What's wrong?"
Ye Xun didn't understand what was going on, so he hurriedly frowned and stepped forward to ask.
Chen Ying glanced at him ambiguously, "Boss Ye, I'm really sorry, I suddenly handed you over to this kind of place, and I didn't delay you to play poker with the waiter, right?" ”
Ye Xun coughed awkwardly and asked her to hurry up and get down to business.
Chen Ying stopped smiling at this time, and pointed to a place deep in the alley, "For three days in a row, there has been a very strong smell of blood, and each time it erupts after the early hours of the morning, I suspect that something is taking advantage of this time to forage for food......"
Foraging?
Hearing this, Ye Xun was stunned for a moment, and instantly touched the taste, and lowered his face and said, "Are you sure?" ”
"Don't underestimate my nose, although I have never opened meat, I am still very sensitive to the smell of human blood."
Chen Ying frowned, as if she was dissatisfied with Ye Xun's disapproval of her "professionalism".
"Uh, okay, then I'll go over and take a look, I'll ask you and Huang Xing to continue to guard the bar."
Ye Xun smiled bitterly, shook his head, and passed by Chen Ying.
Seriously, he hasn't been able to adapt to Chen Ying's identity as a heavy blood clan until now, who would have thought that a beautiful woman with beautiful and beautiful appearance, long legs against the sky and about to open to the navel, actually lives by sucking the blood of chickens and ducks every day?
Of course, although his heart was not particularly adaptable, Ye Xun never doubted Chen Ying's sense of smell.
As a Bloodliner, her perception ability is much stronger than that of other mutants, especially her sense of the smell of blood, which is by no means comparable to ordinary mutants.
Since Chen Ying said that something happened in the depths of the alley, there must be something.
Sure enough, when Ye Xun turned on his flashlight and entered the dim alley alone to inspect, it was only a dozen seconds before he stopped and fixed his eyes on a pile of garbage.
The garbage was stacked very high, and in addition to the black plastic bag on the surface, there were also a lot of miscellaneous rotten vegetable leaves, which smelled of smoke everywhere.
If you are an ordinary person, after being exposed to these smells, even if you don't get smoked and vomit on the spot, I'm afraid you will quickly leave here.
But Ye Xun didn't, but endured the nauseous smell that came from his nose, and walked step by step towards the pile of plastic bags that had been stacked.
It's just that under these plastic bags, there is still a smell of blood.
Soon, Ye Xun lifted the garbage bag on the surface and endured the stench to look at it.
A piece of human bone that was cut white soon broke into his sight, and Ye Xun, who saw it, was shocked, and his heart trembled as if he was beating a drum.
After experiencing so many things, Ye Xun has seen a lot of corpses, but he has never encountered such a strange scene.
He lifted all the garbage bags and spent a few minutes eventually finding more than a hundred pieces of skeleton that had been cut into unusually fragmented pieces from underneath.
These skeletons, which can be roughly pieced together into a human form, are almost exactly the same number of bones as a human being, except for some missing pelvic bones.
It took Ye Xun a lot of time to put all the broken bones together, looking at the humanoid bones piled up in front of him, his face full of confusion.
He had seen many homicides, and he had come into contact with many corpses, but it was really the first time he had seen the scene of a large living person being cut into small pieces in its entirety, cut off the flesh with a boning knife, and then neatly stacked the bones.
"Which pervert did it?"
Ye Xun observed the skeleton for a long time, and finally came to a conclusion.
The person who goes under the knife must be very professional and extremely familiar with the structure of the human body, and the force and angle of each knife are just right to ensure that a person is broken into such pieces, and the bone structure is not damaged at all.
Excluding the severity of the homicide, these patchwork bones are more like a work of art.
And just as Ye Xun was staring at these bones carefully, there was a very shallow footstep behind him, he was stunned for a moment, and when he turned around, he saw Chen Ying, who was covering her mouth with a tissue, and was cautiously following this side.
Chen Ying also found the bones that were stacked on the ground, and suddenly her pretty face turned slightly pale, and she looked very nervous and scared, "Oh my God, what are these, how can there be so many bones that have been cleaned?" ”
Obviously, although she has become a blood clan, her thinking is still stuck in the perspective of a normal person, and she can't accept such a bloody picture at all.
Ye Xun frowned and got up and said, "This shouldn't be the first scene of the murder, someone killed someone in other places, and brutally dismembered the corpse, separated the flesh and blood of the corpse, and then used the rotten smell of the garbage station to hide the bones that were removed by themselves." ”
"Who could have done such a perverted thing?" Chen Ying was dumbfounded, covered the corners of her mouth, and stepped back quickly.
Ye Xun didn't speak, but shook his head and turned his gaze to the deeper part of the lane.
If memory serves, after passing through this alleyway, there is a vegetable market, and the meat stall owners in the vegetable market are first-class in terms of knife skills and meat removal skills.
Ye Xun has been there many times because he likes to eat raw meat.
The murderer's method of cutting meat and removing bones was so professional, it couldn't help but make Ye Xun suspicious.
