Merchant of the Underworld

Officer Liang took us into the office, then made us each a cup of tea and said, "Let me introduce myself again. My surname is Liang, Liang Xiaoyue, and I am the captain of the Municipal Criminal Police Brigade."

Li Mazi immediately complimented with a smile on his face: "I have admired you for a long time. Officer Liang is the captain at such a young age, and he is so talented. He is really a young talent. My surname is Li, and this is my business card. Please take good care of me in the future. Thank you very much. care."

After speaking, Li Mazi took out a business card and presented it with both hands.

I took a peek and saw a bunch of titles like 'Feng Shui Consultant', 'Conquering Demons and Eliminating Demons', 'Antique Master', and 'Folklore Research'. You really package yourself well!

Officer Liang did not put on any official airs. He took the business card, glanced at it and said with a smile, "So you are in this business."

"It's just a joke, it's just a living thing." Li Mazi patted me on the shoulder with a smile: "But my brother has been a trader in negative things for generations. Even though he is young, he has real skills. , if anything strange happens, it’s more reliable to ask him to come forward than to pray to God or Buddha.”

What Li Mazi praised was so disgusting, it made my skin crawl all over the place.

Officer Liang smiled: "To be honest, after so many years as a police officer, I have also come across some things that science cannot explain. I am not as pedantic as you think. If this matter needs your help, I also hope that both of you can help me." Someone can help.”

"It's easy to say, but according to the rules of our industry, the things belong to us." I said.

"Thing, what thing?" Officer Liang asked in surprise.

I briefly explained to him what a fetus is. After listening, Officer Liang nodded and said, "As long as it complies with legal procedures, it should be no problem to hand it over to you. Let's go and see the body first."

I asked Yin Xinyue to stay and talk to Fengshen Nana, but she was not happy and said that she hadn't encountered such an exciting thing in a long time.

On the way, Li Mazi asked me in a low voice what it means to comply with legal procedures. I shook my head at him and told him to stop talking. After all, he had not dealt with the police once or twice, and it was not clear whether it was caused by evil spirits.

We came to the morgue. There were several beds side by side in the morgue. The bodies of several robbers were covered with white sheets. The pale lights cast down the atmosphere. The atmosphere was very gloomy. Two forensic doctors were chatting and laughing there. , immediately became respectful when he saw Officer Liang coming in.

"Have the autopsy results come out?" Officer Liang asked.

"Still waiting for the laboratory, but the preliminary results have come out..." the forensic doctor said and handed over a list. Officer Liang read it and handed it to me.

After forensic identification, these corpses had been dead for more than 48 hours, with large areas of corpse spots appearing on the body surface, and the liver and pancreas were also necrotic. It was initially determined that the cause of death was poisoning.

Subsequently, the forensic doctor lifted the white cloth covering a corpse. The body had been disemboweled. The forensic doctor said that something was found in the stomach of the deceased.

His expression seemed a little ugly, and he was silent for a long time before placing a plate in front of us.

What was on the plate was a gray mouse covered in mucus, with its eyes and ears sewn shut, just as I suspected.

"Mr. Zhang is indeed an expert!" Officer Liang gave me a thumbs up: "But how did you know there was a mouse in the deceased's belly?"

"Because the only thing in the world that can do this kind of thing is the 'soul urn technique' of shamanism." I said.

Officer Liang asked me what the Soul Urn Technique was, and I explained that it had to start with the history of shamanism.

The oldest religion in China is Taoism, but that is only within the scope of the Han people. Strictly speaking, the oldest religion should be shamanism.

Shamanism believes that there is a spiritual vein stretching thousands of miles under the earth. After the death of all things in the world, the souls will merge into this spiritual vein, and the various spells cast by shamans also draw power from the spiritual vein!

The so-called soul urn technique is to place a small animal in the body of the dead body, preferably a snake or rat, because snakes and rats make nests in the soil and are closely related to the earth.

Once these small animals enter the stomach of the corpse, they will turn the corpse into a soul urn, absorbing the power from the spiritual veins to 'resurrect' the corpse. In this way, the caster can indirectly control the living corpse by controlling small animals.

These are what I read from a book left by my grandfather.

After listening, Officer Liang said with great admiration: "I used to think that these feudal superstitions were used to deceive old men and women. I didn't expect that there is so much knowledge in them. Today is really an eye-opener."

Speaking of this, Officer Liang said: "So Boss Zhang, can you find out the murderer behind the body?"

"I'm afraid this is a bit difficult. The murderer was a very cautious person at first glance and left almost no clues on the corpses. Officer Liang, can you help me check the identities of these corpses first?" I asked.

"These deceased people must have been in contact with the murderer before they were alive. Being able to trick them into taking poison shows that they have a close relationship. In addition, can we investigate the children under the age of five who have disappeared in the city in recent years?"

Officer Liang completely believed me at this time. He nodded and said, "I'll send someone to investigate right away!"

"Then let's take our leave first."

I left my contact information and asked him to notify me as soon as possible after checking it. Officer Liang agreed wholeheartedly.

After leaving the police station, we got into Li Mazi's car. Yin Xinyue said to me quietly: "Nana seems to like that Officer Liang."

"Why didn't I see it?" I didn't expect Yin Xinyue to be so gossipy.

"A woman's intuition, the way she looks at Officer Liang is definitely different from the way she looks at other people." Yin Xinyue smiled so hard that her branches trembled.

To be honest, my first impression of Officer Liang was pretty good. He spoke eloquently and was not sloppy in his work. He became the captain at such a young age, so he must be the number one figure in the criminal police team.

Li Mazi is more concerned about what the vagina is this time and how much is it worth? I replied that I don’t know yet, but I have experienced so many big and small incidents since I joined the industry, and my feeling should not be wrong.

Back in the store, Li Mazi bought two bottles of Chinese blue, and Yin Xinyue cooked some dishes.

After dinner, Li Mazi went back first, and Yin Xinyue was watching Korean dramas on my computer. I took down the book about shamanism left by my grandfather from the bookshelf and flipped through it. Unexpectedly, there was a corpse-suppressing talisman inside.

I immediately became interested and followed the method my grandpa marked in the corner of the book, mixing rooster blood, lead powder and ink, and copied it on a piece of yellow paper cut into three inches long and one inch wide.

Talisman is not like calligraphy and painting. The more similar it is, the better. Whether a magic talisman can work depends on the skill of the person who draws the talisman. If you don't know how to draw it, even if you draw it like a dragon and a dragon, it will still be a piece of waste paper.

The method of testing the talisman is also very simple. Silently recite the formula for drawing the talisman, then clamp the talisman paper between the middle finger and the index finger and flick it. The effective talisman will be as hard as a sword, while the useless talisman will be as hard as ordinary white paper. almost.

I used up several bundles of yellow paper in total and only produced about ten usable corpse-suppressing charms, which is pretty good.

Writing and drawing made my shoulders stiff and my neck sore. When I looked up at my watch, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening. Yin Xinyue was also a little sleepy and yawned constantly. I said I would take her home, and she stretched out her two white arms and put them around my neck, and said charmingly: "No, I want to spend the night at your place tonight. "

"Obey, I only have a steel wire bed here. Go back and sleep on your Simmons bed."

"I'm going to sleep on your little wire bed!"

After saying that, Yin Xinyue buried her head in my arms. I told her with fear that this store was passed down from my grandfather, and messing around in the store would anger him.

Yin Xinyue said coquettishly: "Then you still hold me and won't let me go?"

I was running around here and there a while ago and didn't spend much time with Yin Xinyue. I thought about it and forget it. My grandpa is anxious to have his great-grandson anyway. He has a lot of people, so he won't blame me.

Just as we were making firewood, the phone suddenly rang.

I pressed the answer button, and Officer Liang's urgent voice came from the other end: "Boss Zhang, something bad has happened. The corpses of those robbers have come back to life again!"
