The main roads leading in and out of Linjiang Town are all guarded by young men. Guan Buping and Lin Yi are waiting on the north side.
The guesthouse where Chen Sheng stayed yesterday was in the north of the town.
The corpse transformation happened last night. After Chen Sheng went to the Jingyesi Station in the town to report the case, the station's patrol officers went over to investigate.
But the B&B was already empty, and only sporadic blood stains were seen. The doors of each guest room were open, and there were marks scratched by wild beasts' claws on the door. The patrol immediately sent the news back to Changsha County. After receiving the news
Guan Buping rushed over immediately.
Among the cases that Jingyesi encountered, corpse injuries were the most troublesome.
The cultivation level of the new zombies may not be very high, but those who are successful in martial arts can be at a disadvantage against them. If they are touched by a zombie, even a broken skin will be fatal.
Moreover, corpse poison is contagious. If a person who has been injured by a zombie cannot remove the corpse poison before death, he will transform into a zombie after death. If he injures another person, the corpse poison will spread again.
This kind of corpse poison spreads from ten to ten, and if the source cannot be eliminated, it only needs one to escape, and the possibility of corpse poisoning will recur.
The greater the impact of the zombie epidemic, the more powerful and terrifying the zombies responsible for the incident will be. Therefore, it is necessary to eliminate the roots as soon as possible. Guan Buping also rushed over as soon as he received the news.
At night, Lin Yi and Guan Buping stayed by the fire, roasted dry food, and drank water. This was their dinner.
Wang Jinxuan also ate this, maybe because she was tired of eating delicious food, and suddenly ate such a tasteless thing, she felt very unique and happily ate more than Ji Yi.
However, she was the eldest lady after all, so she didn't have the patience. After waiting for nearly an hour, she finally couldn't help complaining: "Zombies won't be afraid to come over, right? If there is a bigger conspiracy behind the zombie transformation, if they don't attack
What should we do if we attack nearby villages instead of towns?”
Wang Jinxuan made his guess based on his own experience of reading novels. After Lin Yi heard this, he put down the file he had read many times and said calmly: "It's not that if there is a conspiracy, there must be a conspiracy."
After hearing this, Guan Buping and Wang Jinxuan looked directly at Lin Yi, waiting for his answer.
Lin Yi shook the file in his hand and said: "From this file, I can see three problems.
First, what this dossier tells is a story told from Chen Sheng’s perspective. We have not verified the authenticity of what he said, so we just included it as a dossier. This is too careless.”
"Well……"
Guan Buping wanted to defend the patrol here. After all, there was a shortage of manpower. He had to investigate the situation, organize files, and report. It was understandable that he was negligent.
But seeing Lin Yi's serious expression, he had no choice but to shut up.
Lin Yi continued: "Second, there are obvious errors in the description of the scene in the dossier. Corpse poison cannot kill people immediately. No matter how deep a person sleeps, the severe pain of being bitten by a zombie will make people wake up. So, why not
Describe the screams? If one of the three fellow villagers screams, the other two should also wake up.
Chen Sheng's description is obviously inconsistent with reality and he lied."
"hiss……"
Guan Buping also read the file, but he didn't expect this. Ji Yi was indeed much more careful than him.
Before Ji Yi could ask the third question, he immediately said: "I'll send someone to bring Chen Sheng here!"
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
Wang Jinxuan looked at Ji Yi with admiration. She really likes such a wise, powerful and mysterious man. The most important thing is that he is good-looking and fits all her fantasies perfectly.
She looked at Ji Yi with eyes shining brightly, and asked impatiently: "What about the third point?"
"The third point is a coincidence. Why did the wind blow earlier and later, but it blew when the four of them arrived at the mourning hall? Why did the old man cover her face in a hurry? This suspicion may be the conspiracy behind it.
"
"It's amazing!"
Wang Jinxuan was so excited that his heartbeat began to accelerate, and he asked again: "What is the conspiracy?"
"I'm not a god, how can I tell that?"
Lin Yi spread his hands. This level of analysis was already the limit. After all, the content of the text only amounted to that much.
Wang Jinxuan is so greedy. He gave her so much and she still wants it.
"Then are we going to smash their conspiracy next?"
Wang Jinxuan was still very excited. Although Lin Yi did not directly tell what the conspiracy was, she did not pursue Lin Yi to get it right in one step and slowly gained insights, so that she would feel more involved!
"Let's take a step and see."
Lin Yi wanted stability in his heart, but as a member of Jingyesi, he shouldered the responsibility of guarding and could not retreat now.
While chatting, Guan Buping came back alone.
After asking him, he found out that Chen Sheng left early because he thought his grandfather was attending a funeral.
Good guy, we haven’t even figured out the case yet, but the only person who reported the case just left like this?
Wang Jinxuan complained mercilessly: "You guys in Jingyesi are too bad at getting things done. I know I can't let people leave like this."
"No wonder they are all involved in Chen Sheng's plan."
After thinking about it for a while, Lin Yi understood his routine.
When this person went to report the case to Yasushi, his thinking was very clear.
First, say that you are a scholar and you are on a study tour. A simple sentence can increase the pressure on the case handlers.
The social status of a scholar is very high, far above that of a petty official.
Later, he said that he was returning for a funeral, paving the way for him to say goodbye next.
Since the Han Dynasty, filial piety has been used to govern the world. The word filial piety is completely politically correct. Filial piety to relatives and loyalty to the emperor are both on the same level. Even the emperor cannot stop people from performing filial piety.
Therefore, when Chen Sheng wanted to go home to attend the funeral for his grandfather, how could a junior official from Jingyesi dare to stop him.
After hearing Lin Yi explain the reason, Wang Jinxuan immediately clapped his hands and said: "Then let's chase him now. I will ask my father to give an order so that he cannot leave Changsha County."
There are more than ten counties under the jurisdiction of Changsha County. A piece of official document from the county governor is enough to make it difficult for a person to move forward, and the official post station can definitely deliver the news much faster than Chen Sheng.
This is the power of the second generation of officials, it is indeed terrifying.
"There's no need to make such a big fuss, just issuing a wanted warrant is enough."
Guan Buping rejected Wang Jinxuan's proposal. If the county governor's office is asked to put too much effort into Jingyesi's affairs, the rights and responsibilities will not be so clear in the future.
This county guard is very resourceful. Guan Buping doesn't care about the power in his hands, he just doesn't want Jingyesi to become someone else's tool.
"There is no need to issue a wanted warrant. I think Chen Sheng may be dead."
"How do you know?"
Wang Jinxuan and Guan Buping were shocked again. They subconsciously believed what Lin Yi said without any doubt at all.
Lin Yi pointed to the depths of the night and said solemnly: "I should have seen him..."
Not only was the man wearing a scholar's long shirt, but there were many people in different clothes around him, including men, women, old and young.
They were walking slowly towards Linjiang Town with staggering steps.
This wave, this wave is a big wave of zombies approaching...
