Chapter 26 Chapter Twenty-Five

Mayor Niu may not believe me, but he has to believe Director Chen who has worked with him for many years. After walking around the room a few times, he said, "But he has been dead for many years..." I opened my mouth to speak, but I held back after all. If he is not afraid of profanity, I can also let the corpse of his old man run around at midnight tonight, but I have always adhered to Confucianism-the dead are the greatest. !Although I can do this kind of sorcery that tosses corpses, I will never do it. Suddenly, I suddenly thought of a serious problem, and hurriedly said: "Not good!"

"What's wrong?" Mayor Niu hurriedly asked me. "Who was the first person who found the body yesterday?" I asked anxiously. "It's a student!" Director Chen said after a moment of silence. "Hurry up, let's go to school!" I hurriedly said, "Otherwise, I'm afraid that student is also very dangerous." When Mayor Niu heard this, although he was worried about his father's funeral, he still told Niu Zhenhua to be busy pedaling on his bicycle. He greeted me to get on the bike, and then he pedaled hard and ran towards the school. Director Chen naturally rode too followed.

I have to say that although I didn't have a good impression of Niu Zhenhua at first because of Brother Wang Lai, but now that I see Mayor Niu's work, I have to admit that he is considered a good cadre. Perhaps, Old Man Niu did do some unkind things when he was young, but the injustice has its head, and the debt has its owner. Now that Old Man Niu is dead, even if there is any festival, it should be resolved. Soon, Mayor Niu drove me to the school by bicycle, and asked the principal about yesterday's situation. The principal was very enthusiastic and hurriedly asked the teacher to find the first student who found the body yesterday.

In the end, the teacher said that the student was not feeling well today, so he asked for leave and did not come to school. Mayor Niu inquired, and the student who found the body was the monitor of the fifth grade, a girl named Zhao Meili.I frowned, sick?Didn't come to school?I'm afraid that what I'm most worried about happened.Immediately, I spoke to Mayor Niu, who, without further ado, asked how to get to Zhao Meili's house, and took me on a bicycle to Zhao Meili's house. Needless to say, Director Chen naturally followed, and this student is now considered a key figure, at least in his case.

Zhao Meili's home is in the town, so naturally it's not far away. Although it's a small town, it's a border mountainous area after all, and the families in the town might as well be like Mayor Niu's house, who can afford two-story buildings.Her house is a very ordinary tile-roofed house, and the wall next to it is even made of mud. The wooden door closed, Mayor Niu stepped forward, and slammed his fist on the door. After knocking on the door for a long time, Mayor Niu even twitched his neck and yelled twice before a middle-aged man came to open the door, but he probably didn't expect it to be Mayor Niu. His expression was a little strange: "Mayor Niu? Come on! Please sit inside!"

Although he said so in his mouth, he had no intention of giving way at all. Obviously, this middle-aged man did not welcome us at all. "Comrade Zhao, right?" Director Chen was not polite at all, he pushed the middle-aged man away and walked in, then asked carelessly, "Is your daughter at home?" I followed Mayor Niu and walked in with some embarrassment.The middle-aged man is naturally Zhao Meili's father, Zhao Dahai, who nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, what's the matter?" "I'm from the town police station, and my surname is Chen!" Director Chen took out his ID card and shook it as he spoke. I guarantee that Zhao Dahai will never be able to see clearly what is written on the ID card.

"So it's Director Chen!" Zhao Dahai put on a smiling face and was about to pour tea. Mayor Niu said: "Comrade Zhao, you don't need to be busy. We will ask your daughter a few questions. She was at school yesterday and was the first to find the male corpse. There is nothing else, so you don't have to be nervous." Zhao Dahai was very nervous. Not only I could see this, but Mayor Niu and Director Chen are both smart people, and it was obvious at a glance. "By the way, where's your daughter?" Director Chen asked again as he got to the point of being the head of the police station.

"My daughter has gone to school!" Zhao Dahai hurriedly said, "Why don't you come back after she comes back from school at night?" "We are from school!" Mayor Niu didn't show any sympathy, and directly exposed his lie. Zhao Dahai became even more nervous when he heard this, and cold sweat broke out on his head. Director Chen said coldly: "This is not an ordinary case, it is a serious case of human life. Are you going to hinder our police officers from handling the case?" "No, no, no!" Zhao Dahai panicked immediately, "I am absolutely willing to assist you in handling the case, but...just..." At this point, the cold sweat on his head became even worse, and his eyes were also evasive. end.

I was even more anxious, ignoring the presence of Director Chen and Mayor Niu, so I hurriedly stood up and asked, "Just what, did something happen to your daughter?" "Ah?" Zhao Dahai groaned in surprise, then glanced at me, and said hastily, "No, no, my daughter loves to play, and went to her grandma's house with her old mother today..." "Really?" I snorted and said angrily, "Let me tell you the truth, there was something wrong with the corpse yesterday, I'm afraid your daughter will also be infected with some evil disease, you'd better tell us as soon as possible The whereabouts of my daughter, otherwise, if it is too late, Immortal Da Luo may not be able to save her!"

"Is my daughter still saved?" Zhao Dahai asked na na upon hearing the words. "What's wrong with your daughter?" I was really anxious and asked again. "Speak quickly!" Director Chen patted the table and said, "Otherwise, I'll charge you with obstructing the investigation of the case by the police, hum!" Being frightened by him like this, Zhao Dahai was confused at the time, and the whole person fell limply on the chair, crying, "Director Chen, my daughter is suffering, we are just such a precious daughter, I have never disliked her, and I have never regretted not having a son. But... But... Last night, she made a fuss all night, and we didn't take it seriously at first, thinking it was a cold. But she looks like , It’s really scaring people! I almost strangled her mother to death, and then I saw that it was not a matter, so I tied her with a rope..."

Having said this, Zhao Dahai immediately covered his face and began to cry. "Don't worry, take me to see your daughter, maybe it can be saved!" I hurriedly comforted her. "Yes." Mayor Niu also nodded and said, "This is Dr. Xu, who is very capable and specializes in treating difficult and miscellaneous diseases. Don't be afraid, take us to have a look!" "You won't burn my daughter to death?" Zhao Dahai asked hurriedly. "Nonsense!" Director Chen said angrily, "Who dares to disregard human life when the sky is bright and bright?" When Zhao Dahai heard this, he immediately jumped up, fell to his knees with a plop, and cried, "A living Bodhisattva who saves the suffering! My daughter is finally saved!" I was very embarrassed, but the mayor of Niu looked so ordinary, he stretched out his hand to pull Zhao Haihai and said, "Comrade, what are you doing? Get up quickly! Take us to see if your daughter is serious, can't you?" The illness was delayed." "Yes yes yes!" Zhao Dahai agreed repeatedly, and led us to the back room. I was curious, so I casually asked, "Who said you were going to burn your daughter to death?" "My daughter is very sick. I hurried to call for a doctor early this morning. Unexpectedly, he took a look and said that my daughter had been poisoned by the corpse. He was afraid of infecting others. He said it was going to..." At this point, Zhao Dahai kept shaking his head, looked at Mayor Niu worriedly, and said, "It's because you guys came so fast, otherwise, I've already planned to let my woman take the child to hide at my grandma's house in the countryside for a few days..." "It's useless to hide, your daughter can't hide at all!" I smiled lightly, because Zhao Meili was not poisoned by corpse poison at all. Although corpse poison is ever-changing, it is definitely not like this. And I, the one who was really poisoned by the corpse, should be burned to death.Fortunately, only Master knows this secret. I'm glad again, if Master hadn't been there, I would have been poisoned by the corpse if I accidentally revealed it, I would have been burned to death by the ignorant villagers. In many remote mountain villages, people are more afraid of corpse poison than the plague. Once a person is found to be infected with corpse poison, most of them will be burned to death directly, regardless of whether you are dead or alive, and whether there is any medical treatment. In the back room, a woman was sitting on the edge of the bed, covering her mouth, holding back her mouth so hard that she could not cry out. She stood up when she saw us, but her eyes were already swollen like peaches. On the bed lay a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, her hands and feet were firmly tied to the railing of the bed, her eyes were closed tightly, her face was livid, and at first glance, she seemed lifeless at all. "Let her go, she won't make trouble during the day!" I said to Zhao Dahai. After all, it is his own child, so Zhao Dahai naturally didn't want to tie his daughter up like this. I didn't care about others when I heard that I let go of the rope. I sat on the edge of the bed, put my hand on the girl's pulse, diagnosed it for a while, and asked, "Is there any harm in the evening?" How long has it been going on?" "It was probably around one o'clock in the evening, and it has been noisy for more than two hours!" The woman who answered was Zhao Dahai's woman. Seeing me, she hurriedly asked, "Doctor, what can you do to treat me?" Obviously, we just now She heard everything she said outside. "I'll try!" I nodded. "Is my daughter poisoned by the corpse?" Zhao Dahai asked anxiously. "No!" I shook my head. "Then why is this happening?" Zhao Dahai's woman asked again. I was about to answer, but Director Chen said impatiently: "Why are you so wordy, listen to Dr. Xu!" "Ling Ai is just out of her mind!" I smiled lightly, fortunately it was noon at that time, if it was late at night, I'm afraid the girl's life would be in danger on the spot. "Ah?" Zhao Dahai's woman hurriedly said, "No wonder she grabbed my neck yesterday, pinched it hard, and shouted 'give me back my soul'..." "Has the first half of the night been good?" I asked again. Zhao Dahai nodded again and again, indicating that there was no abnormality in the first half of the night. I frowned, thinking about how to prescribe this prescription, but was stunned for a moment. The symptoms I have encountered recently are so strange that it can be said to be bizarre . Losing one's soul is a folk saying. Generally speaking, it is a person who is insane when he is extremely frightened.Usually there are two kinds of treatment methods, one is to cultivate slowly, with the accumulation of time, people gradually forget the original horror; the other is commonly called soul, the old man said, it can call back the soul of a person.Usually there are immediate family members of the patient, preferably his mother. In fact, most people have an innate sense of trust and security for their mothers. Even in deep sleep, if the mother is around, the child will sleep very soundly.Taking advantage of the child's twilight, calling the child's name to make her feel more safe, can also play a therapeutic effect. It's just that these two methods are probably useless now.Because this kid's fright is like no other! "Yesterday we were also worried that we were frightened, so we called at night!" Zhao Dahai's woman said. I nodded and said to Zhao Dahai: "Don't worry, your daughter's disease will not be transmitted to others, and no one will burn your daughter to death. I will prescribe a medicine. You go to the town to get the medicine and give it to your daughter. After pouring it down, she will sleep peacefully. Then wait around one o'clock in the evening, let your woman go out, hold the pine oil firecracker, and call your daughter's name around the house, and it will take effect naturally!" "Okay, okay..." Zhao Dahai didn't pay attention at all, probably because he was frightened by the doctor in the morning, he was sad and worried about his daughter, so he couldn't care less about other things, so he said hurriedly, "Thank you!" I took out a pen and paper, prescribed a prescription for Zhao Dahai, told him to take the medicine according to the order, and told him that I live behind the house of the mayor Niu, if there is anything unusual, let him come to me immediately. Zhao Dahai thanked him a thousand times, naturally it goes without saying.The three of us came out together, but Director Chen had a gloomy face and asked, "Forget about Zhao Meili, what about this thing?" What he said was obviously asking me.For such cases, he, the director of the police station, was helpless. "You send more people tonight. You have to ambush near Zhao Dahai's house before twelve o'clock in the evening. Then, wait for Zhao Dahai's woman to start calling her soul, and that thing will appear. Take the opportunity to catch it." I said . "That thing will come too?" Hearing this, Mayor Niu's head suddenly became as big as a bucket. This is not a living person, but a dead body! "I'm 90% sure, it should come!" I said, of course, if it doesn't come, unless the person who originally controlled it is also nearby - then it can be controlled so that it will not come out and run. And who is this person?Thinking of the style of the two silver needles on the back of Old Man Niu's head last night, I felt a tingle in my heart for no reason. Is it really that person? If the old man Niu was the one who did it, then the mummy should also be his masterpiece! Why did he do this?My heart was in so much pain, as if it was really him, what should I do? "But, how do we catch him?" Director Chen asked anxiously, "The two people last night, who were also our excellent police officers, were strangled to death by him..." "It is afraid of fire, wait until night, you tell your people to bring oil, and then wait for him to appear, pour oil on him collectively, then light it on fire, burn it directly, it will not appear in the future It hurts!" I said. "Really?" Director Chen was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly said. I nodded, of course it is true, but all such evil things are afraid of fire. It is said that a corpse like it is also afraid of fire even if it is a real thousand-year-old zombie. "Doctor Xu, I have an unfeeling request!" Director Chen said suddenly. "Well, just say, as long as I can help, I will never refuse!" I said. "Can I invite you to come over tonight?" Director Chen said, "We don't have any experience in dealing with this thing. With you here, at least we will give our comrades courage!" Use me to embolden their comrades?I really wanted to say, I'm more scared than you, but after thinking about it, I still said, "Yes, I'll come over at night!" "Doctor Xu, I'll come over at night. If this kind of evil can't be eliminated, I'm afraid he will still endanger the people. There will be no peace in my town from now on!" Mayor Niu said. As long as I thought about it, the three of them immediately agreed to see you in the evening.
