This is the first time since Long Xingtu entered the work industry that he has a terrifying feeling of chilling in the back when facing a corpse!
Her feet were pinned to the spot, her body tensed and straight, and out of instinctive reaction to unknown dangers, she gathered internal forces in her palms, ready to defend at any time!"
Master Long, is this person dead?
It's all red, like a monster!
”"Master Long, hurry up, what if it's a ghost?""
For the sake of safety, my subordinates should go and get some black donkey hooves and dog blood from the nearby people!"
Catching anxious and worried words, Long Xingtu gradually calmed down, she can't panic, she is the backbone of everyone, once she shows the slightest fear, then the others will follow."
Calm down!"
She shouted: "With me here, don't be afraid!"
No need for black donkey hooves and dog blood, find a few thick ropes!
”"Yes!"
Catch quickly agreed, and rushed away.Zhu Chengzuo probed in from the mouth of the cellar and asked curiously: "Master Long, how can the corpse be red?"
Is it wearing a bright red dress, which has not yet rotted and weathered?
”"It's not."
Long Xingtu pursed his dry lips, and said with palpitations: "Although it is the first time I have encountered it, it should not be wrong, this is a red dry corpse, that is, a zombie." ”Zhu Cheng made a stirring spirit and was dumbfounded: "Stiff......
Corpse!
”"Yes, zombies are scarce, and red zombies are extremely rare, and I have only heard one Xiangxi old-timer mention it before."
Long Xingtu briefly introduced a few sentences and advised: "Don't tell the catchers for the time being, it's getting dark, so as not to aggravate everyone's fear." ”Zhu Cheng nodded hurriedly: "Okay."
Do you want to send the little young master back to the mansion as well?
”"Although the little ghost is bold, but after all, he is a child, so let's find someone to send him away."
While Long Xingtu spoke, his eyes were always fixed on the zombies, for fear that the legendary "corpse mutiny" would suddenly occur.Zhu Yanzuo hurriedly got up, ran back to the cowshed, and informed Zhang Shuban to take Du Yuxuan away, his panicked look made Zhang Shuban's face turn white with fright, he didn't know martial arts, and staying was a drag, ensuring the safety of the county commander Xiaogongzi was a great help to the Dragon Star Map!
So, without saying a word, he took Du Yuxuan's hand and ran out.After a while, the catcher quickly found a thick rope, and the rest of the searchers all gathered around to help after the catch, and Long Xingtu ordered everyone to tie a few more torches, illuminating this piece as bright as day."
Doctor Zhu, don't come down if you stay on it, I will relay the scene to you, you make a simple record first, and hand it over to Zhang Shu's office to sort out after you go back.""
Yes, Master Long!""
Catch quickly and listen to the order, the three people with good skills jump down, and the others are ready to answer on it!""
Yes!"
There is a dragon star map town, and the catchers are much more at ease, and they immediately divided into two groups and acted separately.The three people who jumped into the cellar, although their first reaction was terrifying, they were also in danger, obeyed the command of Long Xingtu, and tied up the red corpse solidly."
Watch it!"
Long Xingtu gave a word, and then began the on-site investigation.The cellar is quite large, covering an area of half a room.A large number of stored vegetables have long since dried up and blackened, but they have not completely rotted, and the grain is still intact after many years, and there is no even breeding for ants, insects and bacteria!
In addition to these, there are two other large jars of wine in the corner, Long Xingtu opened the lid of the dusty wine, both jars are full, but one of the wine covers broke a corner, the smell of wine faintly emitted in the air, she reached out and touched the stone wall and the green brick floor, and found that it was completely dry, not half damp!
Judging from the neatness and orderliness of the scene, there were no signs of fighting, and nothing superfluous, except for the unusual red dry corpse.This is a male corpse, about forty years old, lying on his back at the entrance of the cellar, his skin is red, his eyes are deep-set, his clothes are not gorgeous, but the workmanship is fine, the fabric is of high quality, and the moire boots on his feet are not worn by ordinary people, so it is not difficult to determine that the deceased was a person of status before his death.Strangely, there were no maggots or blood stains on the deceased's body, and there were no abnormalities in the entire cellar that were suspected to be bloodstains!
Long Xingtu couldn't help but gasp, no wonder it turned into a zombie, this is really a place to raise corpses!
After Zhu Cheng recorded the initial inspection of the scene, Long Xingtu said: "It's late today, we will transport the dried corpse back to the yamen for the time being, and then come back tomorrow to carefully re-examine and search." ”"Yes, follow Master Long's arrangement!""
Find a few pieces of white cloth from the upstairs guest room, the dry corpse can't see the wind, otherwise the clothes will be weathered into shreds and no clues will be lost.""
Subordinates go now!"
After waiting for a while, the catcher quickly took a white cloth, wrapped the dried corpse tightly from head to toe, and then everyone worked together to haul it out of the cellar.The unwitting official only sent a stretcher, and Long Xingtu picked up the white bones of the cowshed one by one, put them on the stretcher, and then fixed them with ropes.The corpse was fine, and the four catchers each pulled a rope to tie their limbs, and they could walk.Before leaving, Long Xingtu asked, "Are there any major discoveries in this whole area?"
”Catch quickly said: "There are no dead people, there are some fragments of rice paper, silk books, furniture and the like, and the subordinates dare not move to prevent the destruction of the scene, and they need to be checked by Master Long himself." ”Long Xingtu thought for a moment and said, "I don't have time now, Bai Gu is not worried, but the red dry corpse needs to be disposed of earlier."
After all, this place has been abandoned for a long time, so I will not delay this night.In this way, leave two people to guard, and the other catch will come over every two hours to change the guard, and I will be on duty myself at night. ”"Master Long, do you need to take the Tongfu Inn as the center and completely block it within a radius of one mile?""
Not necessarily.In the absence of any clues, we need an insider to take the initiative to send it to the door. ”"Yes!"
After settling down, Long Xingtu led the crowd to set off back to the county office.Mrs.
Du waited at the entrance of the yamen in anticipation, but Long Xingtu and his party did not enter from the main gate of the yamen, and they walked through the small north gate leading to the morgue.In the past, there were their own tricks and catching the dead quickly, but today's red dry corpse is too weird, the dragon star map is not at ease, and he stares at it inch by inch, for fear that it is really like the legend of the countryside that zombies will suck blood and hurt people, although she doesn't believe it, but after all, it is the first experience, so it is better to be cautious.After carrying the two corpses into the morgue, Long Xingtu ordered two more locks to the door, and brought in a catcher with outstanding martial arts skills and a servant to guard it with a knife."
Listen, once something abnormal happens, if you don't have time to look for me in the inner house, you will release a signal flare notification!""
Yes, Master Long!"
After the Long Xingtu finished explaining, he walked towards the backyard of the government with heavy steps.She needed to bathe and change her clothes and wash away the smell of corpses on her body.
