"Huang, you're being too unfair." I was speechless.
"This matter is indeed very urgent, if it's going through normal procedures to bring you out would be too troublesome." Huang explained.
"I curiously asked: 'Is it very urgent? Has a ghost appeared again?'"
"No." Huang shook his head: "To be honest, I don't know what's going on either. Actually, several days ago, Chengdu had many murder cases, we didn't dare to announce it and have been secretly investigating, unfortunately, there has been no result so far."
"What are you doing here about this murder case? Isn't it a matter for the police?" I asked.
"This case is not ordinary, within seven days, a total of ten young women died, the ages of these ten women were between 18 and 22, and they were all relatively beautiful before their deaths. Moreover, they were all killed at midnight." Huang frowned and said: "The strangest thing is that we haven't found out how these ten young women actually died."
"It's hard to explain right now, just follow me to the police station and you'll understand." Huang also didn't want to say more, guessing that he couldn't explain it clearly either.
I followed Huang to the city police station, where he led me directly to the morgue inside. Normally, bodies from homicide cases are kept in hospital morgues, but for cases like this that require a news blackout, the body has to be stored at the police station.
The yellow team opened the door of the morgue and I walked in. Inside, ten corpses were laid out horizontally, each covered with a white cloth.
I crouched down and lifted a white cloth, furrowing my brow.
The corpse was extremely desiccated, as if it were only skin and bones, with no flesh or blood inside, just like a mummy.
"How could this be?" I asked: "Did you find these bodies like this when you discovered them dead?"
"En." Huang nodded and said: "The cause of death has not been detected, and it is also unknown where the flesh and blood in their bodies went. If it were a normal situation, it would be understandable to think that some perverted murderer did it, but there are no wounds on their bodies, so it's impossible to remove these flesh and blood."
As I looked at this corpse, I thought of what was written in "Shan Shu": When a person dies without blood or flesh, they must have been eaten by a monster.
I opened up the other nine corpses, and they were all the same, shriveled up, without any flesh or blood. Could it be that a monster has appeared in Chengdu, specializing in hunting down these young girls?
I shook my head, this isn't Northeast China, the Northeast is more suitable for monsters to survive, and a big city like Chengdu is not suitable for monsters to exist.
Could it be that the Miao Shaman clan has come to deal with me? This possibility is quite large, after all a city can't possibly have an extra monster for no reason, and at that time I and Xingfeng forced away that person from the Miao Shaman clan, calculating the time, it should also be time for them to take revenge.
"What are you going to do with these bodies?" I asked, turning back.
"I don't know, this method of death has already become a paranormal event, beyond the scope of our police jurisdiction. We can only ask for your help, gentlemen." said Huang.
"Where did these women generally die?"
Huang's team thought for a moment and said: "It was in Qingyang District that these women were attacked when they returned home at night."
I said: "Then let a female police officer from your police station lure out this murderer and see if it's human or demon."
"We've thought of this method too, but it's too dangerous, we've always been afraid to use it." Huang team hadn't finished speaking, I thought for a moment, and indeed, my skills are not enough. If it were a serial killer, the police could subdue him, but what if it's a monster? I don't have any way to deal with it at all.
"Otherwise, little brother, you come and protect her, it will be much safer." Huang team requested.
"This." I hesitated.
"Little brother, this matter can't be delayed any longer. If we continue to drag it out, more people will die." Huang Du said with a frown.
If I had the ability, I would have agreed at once. After all, ten lives have been lost, and this is about human life, not something else. Perhaps many people don't feel much when talking about death, but when they are faced with ten corpses, even if these people have no relation to them, their hearts will ache.
"Alright." I gritted my teeth and agreed: "But I don't dare guarantee that I can handle that monster, and it's not ruled out that it was done by a serial killer. Your detectives will have to protect that female police officer with me."
"No problem." Huang's team saw that I had agreed, and he also smiled and patted my shoulder: "As long as this matter is handled, I can apply for a reward for you from above."
"Whatever." I waved my hand and walked out of the morgue, feeling annoyed. I took out my phone and gave Jingfeng a call.
"Hey? Little guy, did you get your hands on that little girl?" Xing Feng asked with a smile from the other side.
Whenever I mention this matter, I want to scold that kid, but now I have something to ask him, so I endured.
"Brother Jingfeng, something's happened again in Chengdu." I briefly told him what had happened, and Jingfeng cursed, "What? Killed ten people in Chengdu? Isn't this demon afraid of the people from Dragon Tiger Mountain?"
Although Xingfeng is usually sloppy, he is also a disciple of the Daoist school of Longhushan, and if not for his desire to save the world, he would at least be resentful towards these monsters.
"Xiao Zhang, I'm running out of time to get there now. Let me teach you a way to deal with this monster," Jingfeng said on the phone: "Although the monster has achieved spiritual growth and can transform into human form, it's also afraid of things with extremely strong yang energy. Prepare black dog blood, splash it on its body to break its spell, and for a short time, it won't be able to use any magic. At that time, even an ordinary person can kill it."
"Is that all?" I asked in surprise.
"Otherwise? This demon is obviously cultivating by absorbing human yang energy, and its Taoist practice can't be too high. If it's really a kind of demon that even black dog blood can't deal with, you'd better run as far as you can, I'm in trouble if I encounter it." Xingfeng explained.
This kid, Jing Feng, loves to drop the chain. When I asked him about the method, I was too lazy to chat with him because he taught me that Youlemei method before, and now when I hear his voice, I feel nauseous, so I just hung up on him directly.
"Huang, go prepare the black dog blood, and also help me find a wooden sword at the back of the police school mountain." I said to Huang who was inside the morgue. Huang walked out, didn't ask much, nodded his head and said: "We can't delay, tonight I'll arrange for our police to lure that monster, then it's up to you, little brother."
After finishing speaking, Huang took me out of the police station. I didn't want to go back to school after leaving the police station, so I walked to the coffee shop opposite the police station and sat down to rest.
