After nearly half an hour, I finally calmed down a little. I finally stopped vomiting, but my stomach was not feeling well. After all, I had only eaten some dry food in the car all day, and I had not eaten a proper meal. There was nothing in my stomach. I said I was vomiting, but in fact I was vomiting acid. Now there is no comfortable place from my throat to my stomach. I feel bad.
Zhang Jinya came over and patted my shoulder: "Are you feeling better?"
I nodded reluctantly and asked him: "Have you found any clues?"
Zhang Jinya nodded, and finally shook his head, which confused me and I didn't know what he meant.
After a long time, Zhang Jinya said faintly: "It's the same as when we first came here. After seeing the corpse, we can't tell whether it is a ghost or something else. It's hard to speculate, but what is certain is that it is definitely not done by humans!"
I couldn't help but widen my eyes: "How do you know?"
"Feeling!"
Zhang Jinya sighed and whispered: "Do you know how to peel off a complete human skin?"
I nodded. I once saw this content in a book in my home. It said that human skin is actually very difficult to peel because the human skin is too thin and is divided into three layers. The first layer is the epidermis, the second layer is the deep dermis, and the third layer is the subcutaneous tissue, which is some fat cells or something. However, the human skin in the usual sense only refers to the epidermis and the deep dermis. The combined thickness will not exceed 2.5mm at most, and it is extremely tightly bonded to the subcutaneous tissue. It is very, very difficult to peel it off completely. It is said that the two most common ways of skinning in ancient times were cutting with a knife and injecting mercury. Cutting with a knife means cutting on the spine, because the skin is almost connected to the bones there and the flesh will not be touched. Of course, the skin peeled off in this way is not particularly complete. Injecting mercury means cutting a cross on the scalp and injecting mercury from above. Mercury is heavy and will sink all the time, gradually separating the skin and flesh. In the process, the person will twist painfully, speeding up the peeling, and finally, like a silkworm shedding its skin, leaving a complete skin bag!
"Since you know, you should know the difficulty of skinning. It is definitely a technical job!"
Zhang Jinya said in a deep voice: "But did you look carefully at the victim's face just now? Her epidermis and dermis were completely removed, and no subcutaneous tissue was taken away. Do you think people can do this? Not to mention cutting accurately in the thick part of the face, even when pulling the skin down at the end, it will also damage the subcutaneous fat tissue and other things, but the victim has no such signs at all. This is not something that human power can do. But I can't tell what is causing the trouble, because I have never heard of that kind of thing. Dirt is harmful to people. "
Speaking of this, Zhang Jinya let out a long breath: "Xiaotian, we are in trouble this time, because the dirt we encountered is likely to be a very rare thing, or even something that has never appeared before!"
I smiled bitterly when I heard it. The unknown is often the most terrifying. Although Zhang Jinya's character is not very good, his methods are definitely beyond words. I saw the scene of him torturing the evil spirits in the mass grave that day. He is definitely a master, but now even his confidence has begun to waver. You can imagine how big the trouble we are in this time is.
At this time, the old village chief had already covered the coffin for Erniu with a few young men. He invited us to his home, which was not far from here. It took only more than ten minutes to walk there. He had already set up a table of food and wine and invited us to eat. Unfortunately, although Zhang Jinya and I were very hungry, we had no appetite at all. I believe that anyone who has seen the tragic scene after Erniu's death would definitely not be able to eat. However, Zhou Jing, who had never seen the corpse, ate very happily. He and Heizi and his dog almost swept the entire table.
After they had almost finished eating, the old village chief asked with some concern: "Master Zhang, can you tell what is harming people?"
"I can't tell for now."
Zhang Jinya sighed and said: "I have said it before, dirty things don't harm people for no reason. To put it bluntly, they have resentment in their hearts when they were alive, and they don't want to enter the reincarnation after death, so they do evil in the world to pay off their debts in their lifetime. Old sir, think carefully, before the first person was killed, has there been anyone who died unjustly in your village?"
"Definitely not!"
The old village chief said without thinking: Although Dingtao Village is poor, the villagers are quite simple. Except for the people in Erniu's family who are mean, the other villagers are good. There is no conflict between them on weekdays. How could there be any unjust death? In the past year before this incident, only two elderly people in our village died, but they were both dead. Their children were filial and their grandchildren were well-behaved. There was no reason for them to come to the village to cause trouble! "
Seeing that the old village chief was sure, Zhang Jinya frowned, and after a moment of silence, he asked: "Do you know the first victim? It was the female college student named Qin Hongmei. She was What kind of person is she during the day? Has she committed any sins? After all, if this dirty thing harms people, generally speaking, the first person it harms must be the person it hated the most in its life. Maybe this dirty thing is targeting Qin Hongmei! "
After hearing this, the old village chief was stunned and fell into deep thought. After a long time, he finally looked up and said, "Master, you really stumped me. I don't know much about Qin Hongmei. I only know that this girl lived with her uncle in the city when she was young. She stayed in the village with her parents for less than a year, and then... I heard that she went to college. I was very moved that Dingtao Village finally had a college student. She had no contact with the village during the years she was in college. When she came back, she was killed. The old man didn't have any dealings with this girl. After she came back, she basically stayed at home and rarely went out. The old man saw her a few times. The only thing this girl gave me was that she was beautiful and had a kind of arrogance that only cultural talents have. That's basically it. "
After hearing this, Zhang Jinya and I looked at each other and saw the doubts in each other's eyes.
"It seems that the source of this incident is probably Qin Hongmei!"
Zhang Jinya narrowed his eyes slightly: "The whole Dingtao Village has been peaceful for so many years. People know each other well and there is no big evil. There is no condition to attract dirty things to take lives! But Qin Hongmei is different. We know nothing about this girl. As soon as she came back, she got into trouble. I think she is the one who caused the trouble!"
Speaking of this, Zhang Jinya pulled me up and said, "Let's go! Let's visit Qin Hongmei's parents to see if we can find any clues. We can't wait any longer. If that dirty thing harms enough people, We two brothers must die here!"
"Hey, wait!"
The old village chief quickly stood up and held us two, smiling bitterly: "You'd better not go, there will be no result if you go!"
I asked the old village chief what he meant, and he said: "Qin Hongmei's parents are long gone. After the incident, her mother went crazy. Her father sold everything in the house and took her mother to see a doctor. No one in the village knows where she went. It seems that she will not come back, so it's useless for you to go!"
Zhang Jinya's face suddenly became ugly. The clue he just got was cut off in an instant. It would be strange if he was in a good mood!
The old village chief looked at the two of us cautiously, as if he was afraid that we would just turn around and leave: "Master, is there any other way now?"
"Yes!"
Zhang Jinya looked grim, slowly exhaled, and said word by word: "Ask! The! Victims!!"
I was stunned after hearing this, and then I reacted - is this guy going to summon the ghosts of those young girls who were killed, and then ask who killed them?
Just thinking about this made me feel cold on my back, and I subconsciously asked, "Are you going to get Qin Hongmei out?"
"Not her. She's been dead for three months. I guess her ghost has been locked away by the ghost messenger. Otherwise, if she died here, she would have been making trouble. If I want to find her, I have to go to the underworld. I don't have that ability. If I go there, I will probably never come back!"
Zhang Jinya said in a deep voice, "I'm going to ask Erniu. She just died. Tonight should be the time for her ghost to form. If we stay by her body, we will definitely find her!"
Speaking of this, Zhang Jinya patted me on the shoulder and sighed, "I don't know whether I should feel that you are unlucky or say that you are lucky. You ran into this kind of thing when you followed me to solve the first thing. You can also see the extremely rare whole process of the ghost formation. If you are luckier, you may even see the scene of the ghost locking the soul!"
I lowered my head and smiled bitterly. To be honest, I don't want to see it at all! ! !
However, there seemed to be no better way at the moment. Anyway, they had already fallen into the mud with Zhang Jinya, the scumbag, and could only bite the bullet and continue to walk...
Then Zhang Jinya began to ask the old village chief to prepare some things. He asked for a box of ink lines, requiring the old village chief to soak them in black dog blood, and also asked for nine big roosters, and these big roosters must be tied with red ropes. He also asked for cinnabar yellow paper brushes.
These things are common in the village, and the old village chief patted his chest and promised to get the best.
Finally, Zhang Jinya thought about it and asked the old village chief to ask which women in the village had their period and get some red sanitary napkins. The old village chief was so embarrassed that his wrinkled face turned black and red. However, for the safety of the villagers, the old village chief nodded and agreed, saying that he would try his best. I was speechless when I saw this - Zhang Jinya, this bitch, started collecting "big red dragons" again...
After giving these instructions, Zhang Jinya and I were arranged by the old village chief to rest at his home. In Zhang Jinya's words, we have to work at night, so we must get enough sleep, otherwise we will not have enough yang energy in our bodies, and meeting yin people at night is simply asking for trouble.
