Chapter 219 The common points of the victims (two-in-one chapter)
“When we first conducted the investigation, we thought it was an evil spirit.
So we excluded members of the local defense team. A large-scale search was launched.
The strange thing is that we did find traces of the strange power, but there was no trace of the evil spirit.
So, we reported this matter. The danger level is increased
because it is suspected that high-level evil spirits that have developed intelligence are at work.
Otherwise, those low-level evil spirits without intelligence will just act irregularly. Killing people on a large scale,
rather than leaving only traces of weird power, and seeming to avoid human detection."
While Chu He was looking through these photos, Liu. Yuzhu said from the side.
Chu He nodded, because his analysis made sense.
Low-level evil spirits are like mindless butchers, they can only massacre on a large scale without sleep.
As long as the local defense team members arrive in time, they can find traces of this evil spirit.
"What's the situation now?" Chu He asked.
“Today, the risk coefficient of that city has been raised to the highest level.
But it still cannot prevent people from being killed.
None of the installed surveillance cameras caught the evil There are no traces of spiritual killings.
The most important thing is that there is no connection between these killed people.
Wangcheng has sent some personnel from the headquarters to reinforce, but it is still like finding a needle in a haystack. I have no clue."
Liu Yuzhu said helplessly: "So I kept these photos in my bag, thinking that if I could wait until you came back, I could ask you for advice."
" Tell me the address and I’ll go there myself.”
Chu He put down the photo in his hand. It's hard to tell much from these photos, after all, they all belong to the victims.
"If Mr. Chu is willing to take this trip, that would be great. I will contact the person in charge of the local defense team immediately."
Liu Yuzhu said in surprise.
"Okay." Chuhe responded.
"Then let me accompany Mr. Chu there."
Tamazamae blinked and said with a smile.
"Okay."
Chu He is not at ease with Tamamo Mae, after all, this guy came to surrender on his own.
It would be more appropriate to keep her with you, not to mention that Tamamo Mae is cunning and cunning by nature.
"Then what should I do?" Xu Pingan asked.
"I wonder if you intend to work as a teacher at the National Highway College?"
Chu He asked.
As for Xu Pingan's arrangement, he had already thought about it when he invited Xu Pingan to leave the Demon Cave.
With Xu Ping'an's strength, it is more than enough to serve as a teacher at the National Highway Academy.
"No problem, I will follow your arrangements."
Xu Ping'an has been homeless for a long time, and he has no idea about his future whereabouts.
"I'll leave this matter to you to arrange." Chuhe looked at Liu Yuzhu and said.
As for Xu Ping'an's identity, he did not explain too much in front of Liu Yuzhu.
Liu Yuzhu had full trust in Chuhe, and after contacting the city's defense where the paper man was causing trouble, After the team leader.
Liu Yuzhu put down her phone and nodded in agreement.
On the same day, Chu He and Tamamo Mae set off on a special plane.
The place where the incident occurred was a city called Humen.
Humen City can only be regarded as a third-tier city at best in the entire Daxia Empire.
So when an appalling incident involving paper figures occurred in this city, it did not cause much of a sensation.
In addition, the local defense team deliberately kept a low profile and did not create much of an atmosphere of panic within the city.
When the plane landed, someone was already at the airport to pick it up.
"Mr. Chu, I have long admired my name. My name is Bi Hongda, and this is Qi Chaoyu.
I am the head of the local defense team in Humen City."
Two people wearing The man in uniform came towards him and looked quite reserved when standing in front of Chu He.
Although they are all powerful figures and are in charge of many combat personnel,
But in front of people like Chu He, he was still a little nervous.
"Hello, Mr. Chu. I am Qi Chaoyu, sent for reinforcements from the royal city. Unfortunately, my ability is limited and I did not help much."
Qi Chaoyu said with shame. .
“Still have no clues yet?”
Chu He waved his hand and said as he walked.
“No, the main reason is that there is no social relationship between these victims.
It can even be said to be chaotic, and the victims have never even met each other.
We wonder if there are high-level evil spirits, or people who have integrated the power of evil spirits, killing people at will. "
Qi Chaoyu expressed his speculation.
“I prefer the latter.” Chu He said.
"Why?" Bi Hongda asked puzzledly.
“Because if it is a high-level evil spirit, there are only two possibilities.
One is born after devouring an extremely terrifying number of humans,
the other One is that the evil spirit itself is a high-level evil spirit, but it has been sleeping for a long time,
However, when such an evil spirit just wakes up from its sleep, it is also in a relatively weak state,
At this time, a large amount of food is often required to complete the recovery of strength.
Evil spirits can only eat in one way, either by cannibalism or by cannibalism.
In either case. , before the paper man's trouble occurs, it should cause great harm to the local area."
Chu He explained.
“Could it be that high-level evil spirits from other empires or other regions came in?”
Bi Hongda asked.
“This is even more impossible.” Chu He shook his head.
"Why?" Bi Hongda asked. He suddenly realized that he really couldn't keep up with Mr. Chu's thinking.
“Because I am here in the Daxia Empire, high-level evil spirits from other empires or other regions will never dare to set foot in, and there should be only one of them, so they would not dare.”
< br>Chu He said confidently.
"It makes sense." Bi Hongda and Qi Chaoyu agreed with deep understanding.
If others say such words, it will definitely make people laugh.
But these words coming out of Chuhe’s mouth couldn’t be more normal.
“Go and investigate the things that happened to all the victims, such as whether they have done anything in common,
such as hurting others, such as doing something illegal and criminal, Or maybe it’s a matter of bullying others.”
As Chu He walked, he suddenly seemed to think of something.
“Okay, I’ll go investigate right away.”
Bi Hongda immediately faced the followers around him,
and handed down the task, requiring that it must be done within the shortest possible time. Find out.
After leaving the airport, the group got into the car and originally planned to take Chu He to have a meal and rest first,
but Chu He asked to go directly to the place where the victim was.
Soon, they arrived at the office of the local defense team in Humen City.
In a large morgue, there are all kinds of paper figures.
The morgue is located at the bottom of the building, on the first floor, and is a place eternally shrouded in pale light.
This light does not have the warmth of daylight, but instead carries a kind of downright coldness and loneliness,
It seems to be able to penetrate the deepest fears of people's hearts. In the space, the solemnity and chill of the past have been replaced by a strange atmosphere.
The freezers and beds that were once used to house the deceased and give them peace have now disappeared. It disappeared without a trace,
In its place was a carefully planned boundary, with rows of paper figures standing quietly on it.
These paper figures are extraordinary.
They are by no means just a simple pile of paper and ink, but more like a concrete presentation of some kind of supernatural power.
Each paper figurine exudes a faint scent of paper, but in the interplay of light and shadow,
it reveals an indescribable vividness and strangeness.
It is as if they were once real lives, but now they are imprisoned in this fragile form by some indescribable force.
Their eyes are hollow yet profound, as if they can penetrate into the darkest corners of the human heart.
It seems to be telling an unfinished story silently, which makes people feel creepy.
When Chu He, Bi Hongda, Qi Chaoyu and the members of the defense team stepped into this forgotten realm,
the air seemed to freeze instantly.
The paper people seemed to be given life at the same moment. Those eyes that were originally still seemed to have souls at this moment, and they all turned towards them.
It was a gaze that transcended physical boundaries and sent chills down one's spine. He was being held tightly by countless pairs of invisible hands.
What is even more frightening is that the pale faces of the paper people are smeared with dazzling blood-red blush, like dried blood, which is both abrupt and creepy.
This color, illuminated by the pale light, adds a bit of eerieness and ominousness.
If you look carefully, you will find that the eyes of the paper people do not fall directly on everyone,
but look at different places in the void according to where they stand.< br>
But it is this indirect gaze that creates a sense of terror of being surrounded from all directions and having nowhere to escape,
One can't help but wonder whether every subtle movement is witnessed by these paper figures.
The low temperature in the morgue seemed to intensify the depression and uneasiness invisibly.
Everyone's breathing became heavy and rapid, and the air was filled with an indescribable tension and fear.
If it weren’t for Chu He’s persistence, they might never have stepped into this forbidden land,
But at this moment, they had no choice but to bite the bullet,
Step into this paper man world full of unknowns and horrors.
"Mr. Chu, the investigation report is here."
Bi Hongda's voice suddenly broke the silence of the morgue. He held a computer in his hand and walked over quickly.
This was just handed over by my subordinates. It contains the latest intelligence information investigated in accordance with Chu He's request.
Bi Hongda said solemnly: "Mr. Chu, your guess is correct. These people have more or less problems."
"This paper man is called Zhang Jiancheng, and he is a martial arts teacher in the college.
Because the student did not pay the bribe as requested, he arranged for other students in the school to isolate the student.
This student's family situation is not good. Although he has never used good martial arts training resources,
his grades in the academy are extremely good.
Even so, he is still treated extremely unfairly. The treatment,
ultimately forced the student to hang himself in the mountains and forests, ending his young life.
Zhang Jiancheng was not affected in any way by the incident and still worked as a teacher at that martial arts academy. position.
The reason is that the dean of this martial arts academy is Zhang Jiancheng's father-in-law.
Zhang Jiancheng's father-in-law has connections and arranges for reporters to influence the direction of public opinion. >
In the end, it turned out to be that student. Because of his poor family conditions, he had low self-esteem and was sensitive in the college.
Zhang Jiancheng provided many counseling sessions to the student and even funded the student out of his own pocket.
However, I did not expect that this student gradually developed a hypocritical desire to compare.
I packaged myself as a rich second generation in school, but was ruthlessly exposed by other students, which also led to a situation of being isolated and disgusted.
Many people who did not know the truth criticized the student.
There were also people who pointed fingers at the student’s family members in real life.
< br>In the end, the student’s family members also chose to end their lives. ”
When telling this incident, Bi Hongda’s face was full of anger.
The paper man was wearing a well-dressed suit, and there was a pen in the chest pocket of the suit.< br>
The hair is combed into a bun, and it is meticulous. Even if it becomes a paper man,
you can still see the shiny black hair.
It's just that this face has always been fixed in the shape of a paper man, but it looks like he should be less than forty years old.
Just looking at the appearance, you can never tell that this is a sanctimonious beast.
“This woman’s name is Xu Lanping. She is a villager in a village in Humen City. She gave birth to eight sons and five daughters.
If there are many sons in the village, they can walk sideways. This family is famous in the local area. The village is also known as a bully.
Xu Lanping has taken a fancy to a piece of land owned by someone else. The owner of this land is an old man in his seventies.
His fate is extremely unfortunate. br>
My wife died of illness early, one son drowned while swimming in the river, and my daughter died in a car accident when she went to work in the city.
In the end, only this poor old man was left, relying on the three acres of land.
Xu Lanping proposed that the old man sell the land to her, and she was willing to give him 10,000 yuan.
The old man firmly disagreed.
Xu Lanping asked her son and daughter to take turns bullying the old man.
For example, the crops that the old man just planted were all plucked up the next day.
The dog kept by the old man was poisoned to death with rat poison.
While the old man was sleeping at night, the window glass was smashed.
Later, when Xu Lanping saw that the old man was in such a predicament, he still refused to sell the land to her.
She even made up rumors that the old man was an old bachelor with evil intentions and wanted to take a fancy to her daughter. Forcibly defiled.
The old man had been doing his duty all his life, but he couldn't bear the humiliation, so he drowned himself in the village's reservoir.
The land was also taken by Xu Lanping as his own. "
Bi Hongda took another step forward and stood in front of a paper figure of a middle-aged woman.
This middle-aged woman had an extremely mean face, and her mouth protruded forward like a rooster.
Even though he turned into a paper man, his eyes were still staring forward.
It is not difficult for the defense team with extremely high authority to investigate such information.
"This is too much. Isn't there anyone who cares about it?" Qi Chaoyu was furious.
"Our defense team is only responsible for dealing with incidents involving evil spirits. We have no right to interfere with matters that have nothing to do with evil spirits."
Bi Hongda said helplessly.
Then he took another step forward and stood in front of a paper man: "This person's name is..."
Chu He waved his hand: "No need to say any more, if not Wrong guess, all the paper figures in this morgue should deserve it."
"That's it." Bi Hongda handed the computer in his hand to the attendant next to him.
"Who is the first victim?" Chu He asked.
"That's Zhang Jiancheng, the teacher from the martial arts academy." Bi Hongda replied.
"Then the murderer is most likely doing these things with the idea of chivalry. Since no one is taking care of it, he will take care of it.
And such people are often powerless. Ordinary people, so their sources of information are extremely scarce."
Chu He said.
"Mr. Chu means that the circle of the first victim Zhang Jiancheng is very likely to have something in common with the murderer."
Bi Hongda's eyes lit up.
