Huang Mao and I both became serious, looked at Lao Qi and asked:
"Why do you say that?"
Lao Qi was serious:
“Our station changes every three days, and we take a three-day break after the change.
In the past, Jiang Guofu spent three days fishing and two days drying nets.
Many times, when I go to work, I quietly run down the mountain to play mahjong.
But in the past month, Jiang Guofu has been clamoring to take over for me.
And he ran into the mountains while working. This guy must have been fascinated by the spirits in the mountains, and that’s why he died.”
If it's just these few sentences, it can't prove anything.
So I asked further:
"Lao Qi, apart from these, does Jiang Guofu have any unusual behavior?"
Lao Qi was stunned for a moment, and then said:
"It seems not, but he has lost a lot of weight in the past month.
This guy used to be very fat, but the last time I worked with him, he became very thin.
I asked him to go to the hospital for a checkup, but he didn't take it seriously.
He said he was fine, he just lost weight because he recently had a young and beautiful girlfriend and was addicted to women."
Speaking of this, Lao Qi's face became very excited:
"You may not know that someone like Jiang Guofu is ugly, lazy, cross-eyed, and has skin diseases.
Let alone having a girlfriend, even if I work with him, I don’t want to get too close.
Therefore, I suspected that he was haunted by the spirits in the mountains.
He was drained of essence and died at the ranger station."
I didn't make my own judgment, I just nodded and wrote down these contents.
Take the body bag, body stretcher, etc. and walk up the mountain.
Wait until you see the body later, and then analyze it carefully.
Next, we asked Lao Qi some questions.
But there is no useful information.
After walking up the mountain for about ten minutes, we arrived at the forest ranger station.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I smelled a strong smell of corpse.
There was also Chang Laosan's subordinate guarding the door.
Seeing us coming, he hurried forward to greet us:
"Brother! You are here."
Chang Laosan waved his hand:
"Xiao Zhang, nothing happened, right?"
The young man named Xiao Zhang smiled and said:
"No, I can see it fine."
"That's good! Brother Li, Mr. Huang, please come over here!"
Chang Laosan made a gesture of invitation.
Huang Mao and I did not approach immediately, but at this time, we put on masks and gloves.
Since it is a hairy corpse, it is natural to protect it to prevent the corpse from being blown away.
"I have a few more masks here, so wear them too. This kind of hairy corpse cannot be contaminated with life."
After saying that, I took out a few masks and handed them to the others.
The others did not hesitate and put them on one after another.
After getting ready, Huang Mao and I walked forward directly.
Turning on the flashlight, he gently opened the door.
The rest of the people were standing outside waiting for us.
As soon as the door of this room was opened, a strong smell of corpses hit my face.
The strong smell is nauseating.
"It really stinks!"
Huang Mao complained.
I also fanned myself with my hands.
I shined a flashlight and found a mummy covered in white down lying on the bed in the wooden house.
The pungent corpse smell emanates from his body.
I frowned and took a closer look.
The face and eye sockets of the corpse were sunken, and the mouth was slightly open, but no teeth were visible.
It's just that white hair ranging from one millimeter to one centimeter has grown all over the body.
It looks like mold hyphae.
But these are indeed human hairs.
Only those special corpses will grow these fuzz after death.
Also known as "zombie hair".
It is a sign before the corpse becomes a corpse.
As long as this kind of thing is handled properly, there will be no danger even if it is burned by fire.
I pinched it with my hands and found that the corpse's body had become hard, harder than bacon, and its nails had also grown much longer.
I looked at my whole body from top to bottom.
Finally, I found several scratches on the corpse's chest.
Although there are a lot of white hairs growing on it, the scratches are very obvious, as if it was scratched by some wild beast, but it is not a fatal injury...
The reason why the inspection was so detailed was that the body was not directly collected in a body bag.
This is because the cause of death has not been determined for this body.
There are differences from the previous two corpse collections.
Before collecting the body, the cause of death needs to be determined.
Only then can corpses be collected better and troubles less likely to occur.
Therefore, the two of us did not rush to collect the body before the cause of death was completely determined.
But at this time, Huang Mao suddenly said:
"Brother Xu, look at the feet of this corpse."
"Look at the feet?"
I was stunned for a moment, but I turned around and looked over.
I saw that the corpse had a bare left foot, but there was a red thread on the big toe of the left foot.
"Red line?"
I was stunned for a moment, showing a hint of suspicion.
Who the hell has a red thread wrapped around their big toe? This is obviously not normal.
I looked carefully and found that the red line was more than three meters long and broke when it reached the door.
Huang Mao saw me observing and asked:
"Brother Xu, a normal person would tie a red thread around his big toe for no reason. Do you think there is anything behind this? How should we collect this hairy corpse?"
Although Huang Mao's basic skills are not as good as mine, he also knows that if something goes wrong, there will be a monster.
This abnormal behavior is obviously problematic.
I nodded slightly, but did not answer directly:
"Xiaolong, search in the house first to see if you can find incense candles, especially red wedding candles and other wedding invitations."
"Wedding invitation?"
Huang Mao was puzzled.
But I didn’t explain it to him, I just nodded:
"Yes, wedding invitation. Let's look for it first."
After that, I started looking for it myself.
This forest ranger station is just a wooden house, just that big.
There are only a few kinds of furniture.
The two of us rummaged through the boxes and cabinets, and finally Huang Mao found a cardboard box under the bed in the wooden house.
As soon as he opened it, Huang Mao said excitedly:
"Brother Xu, look at this, a red candle wedding invitation."
After saying that, he handed me the box in his hand.
I looked inside with my flashlight and saw the wedding invitation with red candles and a few shriveled flower buds.
At this moment, I only felt my heart tightening, and I muttered to myself;
"Damn, I really guessed it right."
"Brother Xu, what did you guess right?"
Huang Mao was puzzled.
I squinted my eyes, took out the red candle wedding invitation from the box, and said to Huang Mao:
"This guy had an abnormal cause of death."
"Ah? You guessed it? What is it? How to collect the body? Do you want to chop off the head?"
Huang Mao asked questions continuously.
I waved my hand:
"It's not necessary to cut off the head, but this guy deserves to die."
"How to say?"
Huang Mao's eyes widened.
I looked at the hairy corpse and said:
"This guy died unjustly.
During his lifetime, he used red candle wedding invitations to attract banana fairies in the mountains.
Look at this shriveled flower bud, is it a banana flower?"
After saying that, I took out the few shriveled flower buds of the plant.
These plants were all threaded with red needles and thread, and the other end was wrapped around the bottom of the red candle.
Huang Mao took it and looked at it carefully, and he was stunned:
"Really, it's really the banana flower? Brother Xu, are you saying that this guy was harmed by the banana spirit?"
I nodded seriously:
"Yes, the scene, the banana flower pierced by needle and thread, and what Lao Qi said prove it.
I can basically tell that this guy died after being sucked dry by plantain essence.
Because he died at the hands of monsters, he has the spirit of monsters in his body.
In addition to the corpse itself, there was also a feeling of resentment stuck in the throat.
This resulted in his body not decomposing. In just a few days, white hair began to grow, and the process of ossification began.
So in addition to using coffin nails and ink-tow thread, you also have to use a demon-suppressing ruler..."
