Chapter 853

When a person loses his heart, he dies naturally.

But there are exceptions, such as Shen Hao. Back then when he was an ordinary soldier of Xuan Qingwei, he encountered a powerful evil spirit, and all the people in the Xiaoqi camp were killed, and he himself was dug out of his heart by the evil spirit and died miserably. But later he came back from the dead with a black beast tattoo, and became the only one who "survived".

So when Wang Yiming said about the tragedy of Hegeng Zhuangzi's death, he immediately felt a sudden shock, not because he was afraid, but because he recalled his own experience in the past.

Wang Yiming hurried to inquire about the news, Shen Hao couldn't sit still in the office after returning to the commanding yamen all the way, frowning and walking back and forth in the room.

The scene of surviving near death and the weird experience of being alive after being ripped out of the heart are always recurring in my mind.

Shen Hao has personally experienced the horror of evil spirits several times, and has also investigated many cases of evil spirits harming others. The degree of cruelty was much more cruel than the time when Shen Hao's heart was taken out. But Shen Hao discovered some patterns from it.

That is, there are many ways for evil spirits to harm people, some of them are torn apart, some parts are devoured, and there are also some eccentrics who like to arrange the corpses in some weird ways, but one thing is that Shen Hao found that apart from the time he was heartbroken There are very few cases of evil spirits in the world that specifically dig out the way of death.

That is to say, when evil spirits harm people, they don't mention their cruelty, and it is very rare for them to take out people's hearts.

This matter has always been in the bottom of Shen Hao's heart. He has never mentioned it to anyone. Firstly, he does not want others to find out that he is chasing some kind of evil spirit. The black beast tattoo, so it cannot be known by outsiders.

But over the years, Shen Hao has already made a judgment: Maybe the evil spirit that stole his heart at the beginning belonged to the maverick kind?

Don't say anything, I always think about it in my heart, and even hold a grudge. The narrow-minded Shen Hao always seeks revenge, even if it is an evil spirit, he still has the idea of ​​turning the opponent into ashes.

So Shen Hao has always been paying attention to every case about Xie Chong, but until now he has not found any more about the case of Xie Chong who took out his heart alone.

Now unexpectedly, it reappeared in the outskirts of Fengri City. To be honest, Shen Hao couldn't calm down.

Shen Hao has always been careful about his resurrection from the dead. He knows that this is not normal. The main reason is that the black beast tattoo on his chest is helping him. As for why helping him and not helping other people who died tragically at the scene , Shen Hao is completely unaware of this, and at the same time is full of desire to find out about the black beast tattoo on his chest.

Now the evil spirit that almost killed him may come again, and will it bring some new discoveries about the black beast tattoo?

These thoughts kept churning in Shen Hao's mind, making him a little restless. But he can't forcefully intervene in the past, this would be too disrespectful to Kuang Shengyuan and would destroy the current tacit understanding between the two sides.

"We can only wait a little longer."

Heartbroken, Shen Hao stayed in the office until it was close to the hour of the day before going home to rest.

For three consecutive days after that, Wang Yiming reported the progress of each case after being detected, and there was also a report from Heishui at the same time.

What Heishui handed over were the confessions of those who had narrowly escaped death in Hegeng Zhuangzi, and they obtained them in a roundabout way, bypassing the local yamen and the Xuanqingwei Thousand Household Office, and their credibility was very high.

What Wang Yiming handed over was the current investigation progress of the Xuanqingwei Thousand Households Office. Because of the same affiliation, Kuang Shengyuan has always maintained a certain degree of goodwill towards Shen Hao, so he did not refuse Wang Yiming's inquiry. .

So although Shen Hao didn't participate in the case, he also has more detailed information about the case.

According to the confessions of several surviving parties obtained by Heishui, after synthesis, we can know: on the fifth day of February, the small flowers and leaves on the side of the river are ready to be picked, and the people who planted these things in Zhuangzi are very busy these days , basically go to the field to pick when the time is ugly, and when it is Yinshi, the ox cart will be driven to Fengri City. If you have to enter the city before the right time, the freshest vegetables can be sold at the best price.

There are no greenhouse vegetables here, they are all seasonal vegetables, inns and restaurants have opened, and the vegetable vendors in the market have gradually returned to the size before the money and food crunch. East Market will be sold out.

Although selling to vegetable dealers will make less money, but the quantity is large, and it saves time. After the sale is finished in the morning, you can eat something and drive back in the car. It would be safest to take back a large amount of scattered silver coins and bury them at the foot of the bed, but I always feel uneasy in my heart.

Just after noon, when the group of people who sold vegetables in Hegeng Zhuangzi returned to Zhuangzi, they found that what was waiting for them was an empty house. Where are the people?

After searching around, everyone panicked, some continued to search, and a few ran back to Fengri City to report the case to the yamen.

Waiting for the yamen servant to come over, it was already afternoon when he went and came. Under the leadership of several village households, the yamen servant searched for traces all the way to a mountain forest behind Zhuangzi. When he entered the forest, he could smell a bloody smell, which became stronger the deeper he went.

The last piece of corpses hung like bacon hanging on the kitchen stove, shaking slightly in the wind, drops of blood dripped from the big hole in the chest, dripping on the ground, every one was like this, so that the dripping blood It dyed a large area of ​​the forest dark red.

Not to mention the frightened or distraught farmers, even the yamen servants who are used to seeing murders turned pale quickly. After persuading the farmer who was going to move the corpse, the servants rushed back on horseback to report immediately, and at the same time began to carefully explore the nearby corpses.

There is only one fatal wound on the body surface of the corpse, which is the big hole in the chest. The rest of the skin is intact, and the expressions on the faces are different but there is no pain or panic. It is more like that at a certain moment, these people were killed and dug up before they realized out of their hearts.

At the right time, more than a dozen yamen servants came to support from the yamen, and they went in and out of Zhuangzi's every household in the forest with the Dharma plate. They quickly agreed on the conclusion: it was a special case, and the preliminary judgment was the result of evil spirits entering Zhuangzi to cause harm.

So this case fell into the hands of Xuanqingwei Qianhu Office.

However, the news from Wang Yiming's side is that the Qianhu Institute has taken a general banner to be in charge of the investigation, but they have not found any traces of evil spirits. Even after three days, someone has already prepared to close the case temporarily. The evil spirit of the Gengzhuangzi tragedy escaped.

"Run away? It is indeed possible. But what about the characteristics? Can't the characteristics and whereabouts of the evil spirit be pursued?" Shen Hao frowned and put down the briefing in his hand, not agreeing with Qianhusuo's hasty approach in his heart.
