Strange Tales [Fierce Beast]

It took Zhou Ling a long time to think about what happened that day.

After all, it was useless for him to think too much, Zixuan was gone.

……

A family in the middle of the night.

"Husband, husband!" A woman in her 30s whispered as she pushed the sleeping man beside her.

"En? What's the matter?" The man who was awakened was still a little confused.

"Husband, do you hear any noise outside?"

The man was concentrating, and there were rustling sounds coming from outside the house, the sound was continuous and there was movement, it couldn't be something like a mouse at all.

"Shh." The man signaled the woman to keep quiet, and carefully put on his clothes and picked up the baseball bat from the bed.

They live in the suburbs, and there are few people living nearby except for the factory. They put a baseball bat on the head of the bed for peace of mind, but they didn't expect to use it today.

The woman also put on her clothes and tiptoed behind the man.

The man opened the door carefully, looked out through the crack of the door, and vaguely saw a dark figure walking around the living room to look through it.

The man quickly rushed out of the room when the black shadow bent his back to him.

"I'll kill you!" The man yelled and hit the man on the back with a baseball bat.

He was also afraid of hitting someone good or bad, so he didn't aim at the head.

"Squeak—" the black shadow let out a sharp cry.

At this time, the light in the living room was turned on by the woman.

The room is bright.

"Ah!!!!" The woman yelled in fright when she saw the black figure clearly, rolled her eyes and passed out.

Hei Ying was startled by the woman's cry and yelled twice.

The man was also frightened by the monster in front of him.

With a height of about [-] meters and a monkey body with a human face, it is no wonder that the woman was caught off guard and fainted.

After all, the man is more courageous than his wife, he clenched the baseball bat in his hand and waved it, shouting "Get out, get out!"

The monster was hit on the arm by a baseball bat, clutching the place where it was hit, and ran away screaming through the broken window.

The man woke up his wife after the monster escaped. The two of them saw the broken windows and the messed up house, and they only had fear in their hearts. They lived in fear all night and went to the city to rent a rental house early the next morning.

A week later, my daughter, who was in boarding school, came home—because my daughter had a mobile phone, it was very convenient for her to communicate, and she also knew that her parents had moved, but she refused to tell her the specific reasons for the move, only saying that the suburbs were too dangerous. It is safer to go back to the city to live.

Their daughter is named Guo Fang, who is 15 years old and is in the third grade of junior high school. It is no wonder that they refused to explain the reason at the critical time.

"Mom, Mom? I'm back!" Because Guo Fang had just moved to a new house and didn't have the key to the new house, she called the door in the hallway with a travel guide.

After calling for a long time, but no one opened the door, Guo Fang kept ringing the doorbell anxiously, "Ding Ling, Ding Ling, Ding Ling..." The voice continued, and later developed into slapping on the door.

His movement finally disturbed the neighbors.

"Little girl, what are you doing!" The neighbor, a fat man of about 40 years old and not tall, scolded her when he saw Guo Fang disturbing the people.

"Uncle, I'm sorry!" Guo Fang, as a little girl, had a natural fear of this kind of unfriendly look. "I'm a little anxious when I go home today, but no one opens the door."

"Maybe your parents are not at home. Do you know how disturbing the people are when you jingle like this?"

"Uncle won't. No matter how busy my parents are, they will wait for me when I go home. Uncle, I'm worried that something will happen to them?" Guo Fang was frightened by her bad associations. I was about to cry.

"Don't worry, I'll find someone to help." I didn't expect the neighbor to be troublesome, but he was actually a very enthusiastic person.

"Thank you uncle." Guo Fang smiled through tears.

Ten minutes later, the man came with people from the lock company and the property management company. Zhang Fang hurriedly stepped aside to make way for the people from the lock company.

The young man from the lock-picking company took out a tool and flicked the keyhole once or twice, and the door was quickly opened.

"Dad, Mom? I'm back." Guo Fang entered the room while talking.

The house was quiet.

Guo Fang opened the bedroom door, and her parents were lying on the bed and fell asleep. Guo Fang was angry and funny, and she was worried for nothing.

He took out the money from his father's pocket and sent it to the person from the unlocking company, and thanked the neighbor's uncle before returning to his parents' bedroom.

"Dad, Mom, wake up, I'm back!" Guo Fang shook her parents' bodies, but the two were still asleep and motionless.

"Dad?...Mom?" Guo Fang realized something was wrong and said cautiously, putting her fingers under the noses of the two.

"Mom and Dad!!" Guo Fang didn't have time to fear that she was already filled with the fear of her parents leaving her.

After a while, she realized that her legs were weak and she got up and knocked on the door of the neighbor's house, crying, "Uncle, uncle, help me..." She was so choked up that she couldn't make a sound.

"What's wrong?" The neighbor was startled when he saw Guo Fang's appearance. Wasn't he still fine just now?

"My parents, my parents..." Guo Fang pressed her neck and wanted to say the rest, but she couldn't speak because she was too sad.

Even if the neighbor didn't hear Guo Fang's next words, he guessed badly based on the situation. He brought Guo Fang to her parents' bedroom and was shocked when he saw the two people on the bed.

Fortunately, as an adult, he knew that what he had to do now was to protect the scene and call the police.

Soon, the police came and cordoned off the house.

"Can you tell us what happened in detail?" A police officer was sitting in the living room taking notes.

"Okay." The neighbor nodded, "This little girl's parents are new here, so we're not very familiar with each other but have met a few times. Today I was disturbed by the little girl's knocking on the door. Let her be quiet so as not to disturb the people, and I learned that the little girl was worried about her parents, so she called the lock-picking company, because she was afraid that others would misunderstand me, and specially brought someone from the property."

"Afterwards, the little girl gave money to the unlocking company and we all went home. Who knew that after 2 minutes, the little girl knocked on my door, saying that her parents were dead, so I hurried to her house, and then called you."

"Thank you, you can go home, please cooperate with us if there is any situation."

"Okay, okay." The neighbor left.

The police asked Guo Fang to take notes again, and Guo Fang finished the notes crying and struggling, and the matter was no different from what the neighbors said.The scene is also not well preserved, but nothing of value has been found.

inside the police station

"The cause of poisoning was ruled out for the two deceased without external injuries. The cause of death was cold and fever. People get sick just after moving to a new house.”

"Captain, I think the neighbor is the number one suspect. Think about it. First, if he does something alone, he doesn't need to worry about the people around him. Second, why is he so enthusiastic and doesn't bother him? He's looking for a lock company and a property owner. , The third is the most suspicious point in my opinion, what kind of property is he looking for, does he know what will happen in the house, and find more witnesses to prove his innocence? To sum up the above three points, I think the neighbor is the first suspect people!"

"What you said is also reasonable. Xiao Huang, go find two people to keep an eye on the neighbors, and the others and I will investigate the incident a few days before the incident."

"Yes!"

Three days later, there was no progress in the case, and the team responsible for this case was very worried.By chance, the neighbor spotted two plainclothes police officers staring at him, and was very angry when he learned that he was a suspect.

Is this the fate of being kind for a while!Shut himself at home for several days without going out, Guo Fang came to him as if he didn't hear.

"You mean that the deceased died of chills and fever?"

"Yes, Director, but unfortunately we haven't found any other clues."

"I don't blame you. Several cases of death caused by cold and fever occurred in Lin City. Now the people above have paid attention to this kind of incident. You don't have to take responsibility for this case. I will report it to the above."

"Yes, Chief!"

That afternoon, Wu Yong and others who received the news came to the city.

"It's cold and fever again, and it's so strange, Captain, should we invite someone from the 'Exceeding Crime Team'?"

Because Wu Yong is upright and upright, he has been investigating the matter related to the beast. In the end, he really found out some clues. Later, the people of the 'Super Case Team' found out and told him the original story, and his position was also transferred upwards.

"Let's take a look first. If it's really the work of the beast, we'll call the 'Exceeding Crime Team' over."

"it is good."

Several people came to the morgue of the police station and checked the deceased. It was true that they died of cold and fever like the others. After detailed questioning of the accompanying police officers, they found something else in common. Each died of cold and fever. The dead people had been burglarized before they were alive.

That thief is the murderer!

Wu Yong can be sure of this.

The only difficulty was that the thief's crimes were irregular and difficult to arrest.

The next day, there was another death case caused by cold and fever. This was already the tenth case, and the death toll was as high as [-] people.It is inevitable that people will not pay attention to it. Fortunately, because of the wide distribution, this incident has not been noticed by the media, and the police officers have less pressure from public opinion.

Wu Yong was investigating the scene this time, and found that a young man onlookers looked familiar to him—because Zhou Ling had already walked on the bright side, the illusion cast on him was lifted, and people's memory of him was also restored.

Soon, he remembered who this young man was!Surprised in my heart.

"Xiao Liu, go and call that young man." Wu Yong pointed to the young man who was blocked outside the cordon and said to the people around him.

"Okay, Captain."

The young man was Zhou Ling who came to this city by following the red line because he felt something was wrong. He came here to take a look when he heard that someone had died of cold and fever. He did not expect that the police officer at the scene turned out to be an acquaintance.

Cold and fever diseases are divided into skin cold and heat, muscle cold and heat, and bone cold and heat. Those with cold and hot skin have cold and hot body surface, pain all over the body and cannot touch the bed mat, dry hair, dry nostrils, and can't sweat. Pain and finally muscle atrophy and death, patients with bone chills and fever were restless, sweating profusely, teeth withered, and finally died.

Knowing that Wu Yong wanted to go in by himself, Zhou Ling didn't refuse, and walked in across the cordon.

"What do you think?" Wu Yong asked Zhou Ling's opinion.

Zhou Ling already knew from Hu Fei that Wu Yong didn't hide anything after he knew about him, "It's a fierce beast, and according to the clue of cold and fever, it should be Shanxue."

"Mountain smell?"

"There is a man in the deep mountains of the west. He is more than ten feet long, has a human face and a monkey body, and is not afraid of people. He makes people feel cold and hot, and is afraid of firecrackers."

"It means that there is a beast in the deep mountains in the west, more than ten feet high, with a human face and a monkey's body. This animal is not afraid of people. If people provoke it, it can make people suffer from cold and fever, and they are afraid of the sound of firecrackers."

"And this thing likes stealing people's food the most."

Hearing the word "steal", Wu Yong's eyes lit up, it should be this thing called Shanxi.

"Then is there any way to catch it?"

"I have the medium in my hand to find it. It is not difficult to find it. Its weakness is obvious and it is easier to catch it. But have you thought about how to explain it to the family of the deceased?"

Wu Yong sighed, "The matter has gone beyond common sense, and it can only be called a disease to the outside world."

"Well, I will tell you after I catch it, and you will have to worry about the next thing."

"It's right to serve the people, but it's a pity that these people died unexpectedly."

Zhou Ling glanced at him, this man was kind-hearted, "I have nothing else to do and I will leave."

"OK, bye."

After the two said goodbye, Zhou Ling found Shan Xun hiding in the sewer along the red line in his hand.

Shan Xun is very strong, he can easily remove the manhole cover, and the sewer runs through the whole city in all directions and is hidden. No wonder Shan Xun hides here.

When Shan Xun saw Zhou Ling, he screamed in panic. It was surrounded by human food and snacks.

Shan Xun is very powerful and moves quickly. It should be a fierce beast that is difficult to deal with, but it is afraid of the sound of firecrackers. Zhou Ling didn't make any effort. He only said that the firecrackers he brought were ignited, and Shan Xun was so frightened that he fell to the ground.

Zhou Ling took out "Strange Tan Zhi" and included Shan Xun in it, only to see that there was a monkey with a human face and a monkey body on the top of the page in "Qi Tan Zhi" where Shan Xun was written.

After that, Zhou Ling called Wu Yong and told him that Shan Xun had been subdued, and then he went back to his small rental house.

Outside the rental house, Zhao Jin was waiting downstairs in his flamboyant red sports car.

The people who live here are all working class. When have you ever seen people in the community drive such a car, consciously or unconsciously looking at this car and talking about it.

When Zhou Ling returned to the rental house, he appeared on the balcony, saw the arrogant sports car at a glance, and recognized its owner.

Zhou Ling went downstairs and knocked on the car window, "What's wrong?"

"It's not been a long time, I'm here to pick you up and play!" Zhao Jin was very happy because he didn't know what happened to him.

"You must have something, tell me."

"Hey." Zhao Jin, who has always been shrewd, showed a smirk. "I have a girlfriend and I want you to help me see how it goes."

Looking at his clothes, Zhou Ling found that he was well-groomed, and he even wore perfume.
