After a few screams, everything calmed down, but Lao Dan and Xiao He still didn't dare to move.
Sweat had soaked their clothes, and after the initial nervous sweating, both of them now felt very cold in the night wind.
Time passed very slowly. Because they didn't dare to look at their phones, they had no idea how much time had passed.
Fortunately, there were two of them. If there was only one person, who knows if he would be scared to death.
In short, the scene where you accidentally fall asleep until dawn no longer exists, and time passes in a tense manner.
Finally, Xiao He thought of an idea. He quietly took off his coat and covered his head with it. He carefully turned his phone to silent mode and sent a text message to his colleagues at the company, asking them to call the police.
It is only around nine o'clock in the evening, which is not yet the time for most people to go to bed. After the group message was sent, several colleagues received it.
The content is just one: "There are lives lost in the cemetery. Lao Dan and I are in danger now. Call the police for help!"
Maybe twenty minutes passed, or maybe it was as long as two years.
When the sirens sounded, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
I don’t feel it normally, but when I encounter danger, I feel that the sound of the sirens is the most beautiful music in the world.
…
Although Jin County is directly under the jurisdiction of Chengdu City, homicide cases are not common for the local police. Even if it is a false alarm, they have to take it seriously, not to mention that they received calls from several people at Xiaohuishan Cemetery at the same time.
In a place like a cemetery, which is also located in the mountains, all kinds of speculations such as murder and corpse dumping or kidnapping came up, and a large number of police forces were dispatched immediately after receiving the alarm.
A total of seven or eight police cars drove to the cemetery.
The cemetery management's small building was checked first, and it was found that none of the lights were on and there was no one inside.
The whole cemetery was silent.
Maybe it's because it's cold in the mountains or it's a psychological effect, but the cemetery feels particularly cold and gloomy.
However, when there are many people around, they don't have so many thoughts. Their minds are full of where the criminals are and where Lao Dan and Xiao He are.
He kept his body as low as possible and searched the cemetery with a high-powered flashlight.
"Comrade Police!! We are here!!"
As if they had met long-lost relatives, the two men climbed out of the ditch behind the slope and stumbled towards the police.
Because my body was stiff and cold, I almost fell down several times.
"Where are the criminals? Where is the murderer?"
When faced with police questioning, neither of them could speak clearly.
"Captain Cheng, there are two more people here!!"
The voices of other police officers coming from the other side also made Lao Dan and Xiao He jump in their hearts.
"Comrade police, there is a ghost! There is a ghost!!"
Xiao He's voice was already tearful and his words were a bit confusing.
…
The search of the cemetery lasted for more than two hours. Due to lack of manpower, it was impossible to search deeply inside the mountain, so all they could do was bring back all the witnesses and victims.
The witness returned to the police station to take a statement and the victim was sent for emergency treatment.
Xiaoliu and Huzi were both sent to the hospital. Huzi was still breathing, but Xiaoliu's neck felt like a knot, so it was probably that he could not be saved.
Lao Dan and Xiao He had already prepared themselves to not be trusted. After all, that's how it's played out in TV and movies: someone who sees a ghost tells the police and then gets scolded.
But they didn't expect that the first group of police officers really criticized them harshly, and a few minutes later, several more police officers came. They seriously asked them to confirm the information again and again, and even asked questions such as which grave it was, who was buried there, how long it had been buried, etc.
Not only was the cause of death of Xiaoliu's body strange, but the body was also very cold. The temperature of the body remained that cold after being kept in the hospital for a long time, and even the forensic doctor was frightened.
By the next day, someone had already visited the family of the owner of the grave.
In the small conference room of the Kyoto Special Security Group, some personnel were listening to the report sent back by Xiao Huishan.
"Sun Xiaoran, a 22-year-old female, committed suicide by jumping off a building half a month ago. According to her family, many people suspected that they saw the deceased's ghost during the funeral, and many distant relatives and friends were scared away. This incident is known to many people in the local village."
"The people who claimed to have witnessed the incident included the deceased's parents, the deceased's sister, the deceased's uncle, and the deceased's cousin..."
Tao Xingzhi exhaled the smoke from his lungs, did not express any opinions, and listened quietly to the report.
"During the funeral, the family of the deceased sought a Taoist priest to perform several rituals and bought a large number of 'underworld supplies' for him, including various paper products and ghost banknotes, scriptures, tin foil and silver ingots, etc."
"When the deceased was cremated and buried in Xiaohuishan Cemetery, a large amount of paper money was burned in front of the grave. The victims Ma Xiaoliu and Chen Hu were on their way to Xiaohuishan Cemetery that night to steal tinfoil ashes."
"Before the incident, the management of Little Gray Hill Cemetery had generally noticed something strange about the cemetery, but there had been no instances of ghost sightings until about 8-9pm last night."
Huang Jiutian tapped the edge of the table, and when the report reached this point, he raised his hand to interrupt the speech.
"Has the victim Chen Hu woken up? What are the testimonies of the two witnesses? Can they describe the appearance of the 'ghost' or provide other information?"
"Chen Hu has not yet regained consciousness. According to the local police records, witnesses reportedly heard a conversation between the ghost and the victim."
"The main content is to inquire about how to use ghost money. Here is the video recording."
Huang Jiutian nodded at him, and the latter immediately connected to the multimedia and played the transcripts of Lao Dan and Xiao He.
This lasted for about 5 minutes, during which time the two men looked nervous and the police officer kept asking them serious questions to confirm their identities.
After watching this video, everyone in the conference room was in a state of thought for a while.
"Comrades, there are two possibilities for the current situation. One is that Sun Xiaoran's ghost was affected by something from another world before or at the moment of his death, and is an alternative evolver;"
"Second, Sun Xiaoran's situation is part of the changes in our world, and the emergence of ghost-like things in the future may not be an isolated case!"
Tao Xingzhi paused here.
"Whether there is a hidden cause of Sun Xiaoran's death, it is difficult for the local police to come up with clues in a short period of time. This ghost has obviously lost a lot of memories when he was a human. He only has some basic logical ability and is easily emotional and paranoid. He is quite dangerous."
"Jiutian, go and investigate the cause of Sun Xiaoran's death. Also, if it is not necessary, do not choose to kill, just capture the ghost."
After giving orders to Huang Jiutian, he turned and faced the other doors.
"Then we will conduct a nationwide investigation. From now on, we will conduct a detailed investigation of all public and private cemeteries, various burial sites, and cremation units across the country to confirm whether there are similar cases."
After the meeting, everyone went their separate ways, and Huang Jiutian boarded a plane directly to Chengdu.
Nowadays, when I travel long distances, I take a private plane. I haven’t bought a plane ticket for a long time.
Naturally, the news quickly reached Shuguang.
It also made Qin Xiaoxia puzzled.
Sun Xiaoran's situation is closer to that of certain evil spirits, but also very different.
Yinling is just a translation that fits human language and characters. In fact, it is very different from people’s traditional understanding of ghosts.
They are not the product of the death of living things in the conventional sense, but an alternative life form that reproduces, lives in groups or disperses, communicates with the same kind, and even has customs and culture.
Sun Xiaoran was originally a human being, and it is true that people become "ghosts" after they die.
This is different from the birth of the Holy Spirit. Without the help of the magic potion and the association, Zhang Yi would have collapsed and died.
Due to the nature of the human soul, some exceptions will not dissipate immediately within a very short time after death, but they will only last for a moment, and most of them will dissipate along with the death of the body.
On the contrary, during some first aid procedures, it is easy for the soul to leave the body for a short period of time, but it will be absorbed back into the body.
Is it unique to Earth, or is it really the influence of something from another world, or is it both?
…
After Jiutian communicated with the association, he naturally understood this point, so Tao Xingzhi's order was to capture them alive as much as possible, while his personal understanding was that they must be captured alive.
We first went to the places where the deceased often went and the place where he jumped from the building to investigate, but found nothing, so we went directly to Xiaohui Mountain.
The army has temporarily taken over the area and people who came to visit the graves during the Qingming Festival have been temporarily persuaded to leave. It has been promised that the cemetery will be reopened within three days.
It is noon now, and three people in special uniforms, led by several soldiers, are heading to Sun Xiaoran's grave.
In addition to regular guns, some soldiers are also equipped with flamethrowers.
"Sir, that's it."
A soldier pointed toward the tombstone.
"Okay, go back and tell no one to get close."
"yes!"
Next to Jiutian was a sturdy middle-aged man with sharp features, and another girl with an elegant pigtail that hung close to her neck and on one side of her chest, stopping just where it was highest.
"Captain Huang, do you want me to go get it out?"
The sturdy middle-aged man opened the huge suitcase he had been carrying, and inside was a specially made metal sealed box.
"No need, let's just go over and talk to it."
Through previous investigations, Jiutian had a detailed understanding of the deceased's personality during his lifetime, and he wanted to see if this had any impact on his afterlife.
The three of them walked step by step to the grave. Huang Jiutian squatted directly in front of the tombstone and looked carefully at the photo embedded on it.
"Sun Xiaoran, you have committed murder, and we are here to arrest you."
They could feel that there was a cold and gloomy thing hiding in this small grave. It must be the ghost of Sun Xiaoran.
"It was them who stole from me first!!"
A sudden voice came from the tomb.
"Stealing is wrong, but this should be handled by the police or the cemetery management. You are breaking the law by killing someone privately. Come with us and try to get leniency."
"But, but I am a ghost..."
A faint voice of doubt came from within the tomb.
The girl next to her almost laughed out loud with a stern face, trying hard to remain serious.
"There is no underworld in this world. China's ghosts are also under the jurisdiction of China. If they break the law, they will be arrested. Since you are not aware of it, we will be lenient with you, but if you resist arrest, it will be a big problem!"
Huang Jiutian's voice was steady and serious, without any hint of joking, while the middle-aged man and the girl on the side stared at each other, not wanting to reveal any expression.
The chilly atmosphere in the tomb came in waves. After a moment of silence, the voice sounded again.
"Okay... I'll go with you..."
Holy shit! That’s it? ?
The two colleagues in the same group are now having very exciting inner thoughts, just like the rhythm of a galloping alpaca.
