Lonely Immortal

Zhang Zhiwen had no sleep all night. He just meditated and rested his mind. He locked himself in a room and cut off all contact with the outside world.

Now, the Zhang family was in chaos, and he couldn't find the source. Therefore, he simply didn't go out, and he didn't want to care about what happened outside.

In this way, he locked himself up like this, and as time passed day by day, his end came. He clearly felt that his body had rotted, and he could no longer cling to this rotten body.

At this level, he seemed to have failed. He didn't know what the consequences would be, but what was supposed to come would always come, so he gradually lost consciousness.

He didn't know how much time had passed. When he woke up again, he found that he was lying on the bed, but Zhang Zhiwen was not very conscious at the moment. He opened his mouth and shouted that it hurt.

He screamed and started to move around, but when he moved around, the pain became more and more severe. He picked up the things on the bed and threw them everywhere. Such a big movement attracted the servants. .

"Young Master! Young Master!..."

The servants came in and saw Zhang Zhiwen throwing things randomly and yelling. The servants immediately came up to stop him, but they were no match for Zhang Zhiwen. Zhang Zhiwen pushed him down after a few seconds, and the servants could only call the master and his wife. .

Not long after, Zhang's parents and Zhang's mother came. When they saw Zhang Zhiwen screaming and crying out in pain, they quickly came over to dissuade him from throwing things, but Zhang Zhiwen still refused to let him go, throwing things around, and even kept slapping the bed board and hitting him. There was a loud banging noise, and it was making a lot of noise.

"Zhiwen, Zhiwen... Mom will ask the doctor to come over and treat you right away. The pain will be gone in a while. You should be good and stop making trouble..."

Zhang's mother tried her best to calm Zhang Zhiwen's emotions, while Zhang's father stood aside helplessly and stared. Anyway, he had no choice when meeting such a silly son. Zhang Zhiwen had indeed turned back into a silly son, but this time he was again Lost consciousness.

Not long after, the doctor hurried over, and then asked his servants to hold Zhang Zhiwen down, and then gave Zhang Zhiwen acupuncture. Once the acupuncture was done, Zhang Zhiwen immediately became more honest, and gradually he fell asleep again.

"well……"

Father Zhang sighed, it was quiet now, otherwise Zhang Zhiwen would have demolished the house. The most important thing was that Zhang Zhiwen had broken his leg now, so he couldn't move around. If he moved around, he would be a cripple for life.

"Doctor, my son..." Father Zhang looked back at the doctor and asked.

The doctor also wiped his sweat. He had managed to hold down Zhang Zhiwen just now, but he was very tired. However, he soon smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang, please be fine. You will recover in a while." Yes, but you have to be careful, he has such a bad temper, if he starts running around, something might happen soon!"

"Oh, okay." Father Zhang breathed a sigh of relief knowing that Zhang Zhiwen was fine. Then he looked at his servant and ordered, "Tie him up and don't let him move."

"Yes." The servants quickly brought the rope, but when they were about to take action, Zhang's mother stopped them. The servants were a little stunned and looked at Zhang's father at a loss, while Zhang's mother also looked at Zhang's father, He said rather distressedly: "How can you bear to tie up your son? Just talk to him. Why do you need to do this?"

Zhang Zhiwen's mother obviously doted on Zhang Zhiwen. She objected to tying up Zhang Zhiwen, but Zhang's father said firmly: "That won't work, it doesn't make sense for him to be like this. It's better to tie him up, Ah Fu, tie him up for the young master!" "

"Oh, yes..." The servants had no choice but to tie up Zhang Zhiwen. Zhang's mother had no choice now. Zhang's father was the head of the family, so she couldn't stop him even if she felt very distressed.

At this time, another person came outside. This person was Zhang Zhiwu. As soon as he entered the door, he walked towards the bedside. When he saw Zhang Zhiwen asleep, he breathed a sigh of relief. Then he looked at his father and said, "Dad, The county government has something to do with you, so I came here to tell you."

"Oh? What happened?" Father Zhang was a little surprised and couldn't help but ask.

"Then I don't know, Capt. Lin said he wanted you to come over." Zhang Zhiwu answered truthfully.

Father Zhang was surprised again, but he looked at Zhang Zhiwen on the bed, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go over there, and by the way, you and your mother will keep a good eye on him!"

"Oh, okay." Zhang Zhiwu responded quickly, and Zhang's father left.

After Zhang's father came out, he asked his servants to prepare a carriage, and then rushed towards the county government office. He didn't know what Lin Captou wanted to see him for. Although he didn't want to go to the county government office to do anything now, after all, Zhang Zhiwen was out of town. Something happened and his leg was broken, so he was a little worried, but since it was the county government who asked Zhang Zhiwu to send him a message to let him go, it must be an emergency.

In this way, half a day later, Zhang's father came to the county government office and met Lin Capt. Lin, who took Zhang's father into the backyard of the yamen. The backyard was actually filled with corpses, but these corpses were extremely shocking. , all the corpses were in tatters, as if they had been eaten by something.

Next to the corpse, a gangster was checking the condition of the corpse, and several detectives were standing guard. When Father Zhang came in, he was also shocked. The smell of decay here was so serious that he couldn't help but cover it up. nose.

"Captain Lin, this is..." Father Zhang was quite shocked. Looking at the shocking corpses, he didn't know what happened.

"Master Zhang, I asked you to come here this time because I want you to help me see what is going on. After all, you are the master of our county government. Maybe you can see some clues." Lin Captou said, and then When he came to a corpse, he squatted down, pointed at the wounds on the corpse, and continued, "Mr. Zhang, look here..."

Father Zhang looked along the spot pointed out by Captain Lin, and saw that all the internal organs of the corpse were missing. He was even more surprised.

"And here..."

Captain Lin changed another corpse, another one without internal organs. Then he looked at the corpses one by one. They were all corpses without internal organs. At this time, Zuo Zuo also came over. His expression was gloomy, even With a hint of worry, he said to Lin Captou: "After checking, these corpses have all had their internal organs removed and the blood drained out. This does not look like the work of wild animals, but more like man-made things." ”

"Man-made?" Lin Captou was shocked. He couldn't help but look at Zhang's father, as if he wanted Zhang's father to give him some advice, because if this matter was man-made, it would be a big deal. Who is this person so crazy? Eviscerate a person's internal organs and drain all the blood?

When Zhang's father saw Mr. Lin looking at him, he couldn't help but ask: "When did you discover these corpses? Where did you find them?"

"I found it this morning. A villager saw it by the river." Lin Captou said.

"By the river?" Father Zhang was lost in thought. Is it so blatant that so many corpses suddenly appeared this early in the morning?

Normally, shouldn't the murderer bury the body secretly? By throwing these corpses into the river, wouldn't it be obvious to everyone that someone died here?

"Have you ever seen anyone dump a body?" Father Zhang asked. Although there was basically no answer to this question, he still had to ask as usual.

Capt. Lin shook his head and said nothing. He glanced at the corpses with a troubled and gloomy look on his face. It was obvious that he had no clue as to who brought these corpses to the river.

There were cases of murder and arson in this county, but this was the first time he had seen such a weird and terrifying thing.

"Then can you send someone to look for these internal organs and so on?" Father Zhang asked.

"I've looked for him. I've interrogated all the butchers in the city, but there's been no results." Mr. Lin said.

At this time, Zhang's father also felt that the matter was extremely strange. He had no clue at all, and Zuo Zuo said goodbye to the two of them. Anyway, nothing would happen next without him, and he had already investigated everything he should.

"Do you know who these people are who died?" Father Zhang asked.

Capt. Lin shook his head and said, "It's just because I can't find out my identity that this is troublesome. He doesn't look like he's from here."

Hearing this, Zhang's father was stumped for a moment, but when Lin Captou saw this, he didn't seem to be very anxious. He quickly invited Zhang's father to come into the room and sit down.

In this way, the two entered the house and sat down.

"Master Zhang, come and drink tea." Captain Lin poured tea for Zhang's father, and he also poured a cup. Then he took a sip and then continued, "This matter is now spreading like wildfire. The people in the city We are all extremely panicked, and the county boss asked us to come up with an effective solution within three days, otherwise we will have to walk around without food. "

When Lin Baotou said these words, Zhang's father was a little surprised. Lin Baotou was a government servant and a serious errand, but Zhang's father was not. He was just a master of the county government. Why should his Zhang's father be allowed to do this? Take responsibility?

But Zhang's father quickly came back to his senses. He understood that Captain Lin asked him to come over. He also came over and saw the situation here. He was pulled into this muddy water in disguise. This Lin It's not kind to arrest the head!

But Zhang's father didn't say much. He just asked: "Now let's check if any suspicious people have sneaked into the county in the past few days!"

"Well, I have sent people to investigate, and there will be news later. By the way, if there are no suspicious people sneaking into the city, then how should we conduct the next step of the investigation?" Mr. Lin saw that Zhang's father did not blame him. He, he continued to ask.

He is just the head catcher. He is not a scholar and does not know how to solve crimes. He can only rely on Zhang's father. In fact, Zhang's father is not a great scholar, he is just a scholar. Now that he has been dragged into the trap by the head catcher Lin, he can only rely on him. Helpless to deal with.

As for the county master who wants to pursue the case, let him pursue it. He is not an errand anyway. At most, it will be regarded as his incompetence and he will not work in the county government in the future.

"Let's see the situation first."

Father Zhang knew that there were too few clues at the moment, so it was hard to say anything else, lest Capt. Lin would catch him again and take the blame.

So far, so many people have died. The first thing they think about is not solving the case, but how to shirk responsibility. This is the serious situation and process of handling affairs in the county government.

Zhang's father still has some experience in dealing with this kind of thing. Anyway, he can say what he should say, but he can't say a word about what he shouldn't say.

But at this moment, a cry of surprise suddenly came from outside.

Capt. Lin was shocked and hurried out, and Zhang's father followed him out. Then they saw a few more corpses being brought in. However, after Capt. Lin saw these corpses, his whole body felt like he was getting an electric shock. Stunned on the spot.

It turns out that these corpses are his family members, his wife and children are all dead!

The corpse was still bloody, so it must have happened not long after the incident. Seeing this, Father Zhang's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly walked outside without looking back.

He didn't dare to get involved in this matter, otherwise wouldn't the Zhang family be the next unlucky one? The murderer clearly demonstrated this meaning.

But when he reached the door before he could get out, he was stopped by several policemen.

"Mr. Zhang, what are you doing? Are you going to walk away now? Are you ignoring what's going on here?"

Captain Lin stopped Zhang's father. He came with a livid face. All his family members had been killed. The first thing he did not look at the bodies was to stop Zhang's father.

Father Zhang's heart skipped a beat, but he quickly pretended to be calm. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, then showed an awkward smile and said, "What are you talking about, Captain Lin? I'm just a little anxious and want to go out for convenience." Just a moment.”

"So that's it... Okay, Xiaoyao, you accompany Mr. Zhang to the latrine!" Capt. Lin's face was ashen, but he spoke calmly. He asked his men to accompany Mr. Zhang to the latrine.

After he said this, he turned back to look at the condition of the corpse. He squatted down and looked at his wife and child who died tragically in front of him. He didn't shed a single tear. He just held the handle of the scimitar at his waist tightly and held it between his teeth. Bite tightly.

"Brother Lin, please forgive me and accept the change!"

Several of his men hurriedly comforted him, but Capt. Lin didn't say a word and just stared at the corpses of his wife, son and family.

There was dead silence in the courtyard.

After a long while, Captain Lin finally stood up and asked, "How many people died in total?"

"Sir, there are seventeen dead people in total!" the subordinate replied truthfully.

Lin looked outside the courtyard. It turned out that Zhang's father was back. When Zhang's father came back, his face was not very good, but he seemed much calmer than before. He probably thought of some ways to deal with it after going to the toilet.

"Mr. Zhang, come with me. I'll go back and see what's going on at my house!" Captain Lin said.

After saying this, he took the lead and walked out of the yard, and several of his men stared at Zhang's father, who had to follow him out.

In this way, the group of people quickly arrived at Capt. Lin's home.

Lin Captou's home is a small courtyard. The gate is fine and there is nothing unusual about it. When you get inside the courtyard, there is nothing unusual either.

"How did you find out?" Captain Lin looked at the agent beside him and asked.

It was the policeman who asked people to carry the body just now. The policeman looked confused and subconsciously replied: "Sir, my sister-in-law and the child were all found outside..."

As soon as he heard this, Capt. Lin blushed on the spot. Yes, he didn't ask anything. He thought his wife and children were killed at home, but it turned out that the bodies were found outside. He was really confused.
