In the nick of time, a bang sounded in my ear and a bullet struck the guard's head.
In an instant, my brain splattered everywhere, and when it reached my side, the red light in my eyes dimmed.
I let out a long breath and crawled up from the ground. Turning around, I saw Cai Wenlong holding onto his handgun with both of his hands, half-crouching a few meters away from me.
I forced myself up from the ground, nodded my head, and thanked Cai Wenlong for saving my life.
Cai Wenlong scratched his head in embarrassment, saying that he had let me down.
In front of the grace of saving my life, other grudges were nothing to worry about. I didn't care about anything else as I looked at the corpse before me.
Very soon, two members of the Identification Department came over and used a black drawstring bag to put the guard's body inside.
Zhang Tiangang quickly took the bronze bell from the chandelier and returned to the station with Cai Wenlong and the others.
When we reached the police station, the people from the appraisal department raised the bell and seemed to have discovered that it was missing. I immediately turned to look at Zhang Tiangang.
Who would have thought that this brat would blink at me and hold his chest.
"Take it out. This is material evidence. If we lose it, then we'll be carefully detained."
After Zhang Tiangang heard what I had to say, he let out a long sigh and took out the bronze bell from his bosom.
I looked at the bell and saw that it was different from what I normally saw.
Normally, a bell's size would be around the size of a cylinder, but this copper bell was actually square and the gaps were about the same size.
On each of the four bronze scrolls, there were a long line of characters carved on them. Each of them was a grass puppet that seemed to be flowing with the wind and the clouds, and no one could tell what these characters were.
However, Zhang Tiangang seemed to be very interested in this item. I asked Zhang Tiangang, "Isn't it just a lousy bell, a bell that doesn't even need to be eaten nor pierced? What do you want this thing for?"
Zhang Tiangang frowned, and said: "I know Xiangxi is trying to rush the corpses, this thing is the Soul Absorbing Bell used by Xiangxi to chase the corpses, as long as the incantation is correct, once the bell rings, all the corpses will submit."
I saw it clearly just now. Those youngsters who ate the Recovering Spirit Powder also went crazy when they heard the sound of the bell.
The rhythm of the bells gradually progressed, and the youngsters were practically following the rhythm of the bells.
In other words, the one who was controlling the young man was not their will, but this bell.
No wonder Zhang Tiangang would place so much importance on this, but unfortunately, this thing had long been seen by the people from the Appraisal Department, so he would take it with him.
By then, even Cai Wenlong would not be able to help him with the crime of finding a secret evidence.
But after a while of pity, Zhang Tiangang laughed and said: "Actually it's not really that big of a deal, I just looked at that bell, it's copper quality is still very new, it should be a copy that was just made. I think that Hu Zhongtian still has a lot of these bells in his hands, but if there's one in his hands, I can study it and maybe make some progress towards the future."
While we were feeling regretful about this, two members of the Appraisal Department glanced at that bell, but were unable to figure out what was going on. They casually put it in a sealed bag and threw it into the evidence cabinet.
When Zhang Tiangang saw this, he clenched his teeth and felt a bit of pain.
The six corpses were removed from the black bag and placed on the autopsy table.
Without exception, the six corpses' top had all been knocked out, leaving only a bald skull dangling outside. It looked somewhat strange.
The comrade from the Appraisal Department moved very quickly, and took off the Clothes s from their bodies, exposing them in front of us.
Six corpses, five men and one woman, all around the age of 25.
Apart from the guard, all five of them had traces of soul recovery energy in their blood.
Cai Wenlong took a copy of the appraisal report and gave it to me.
I glanced at it and tossed it aside.
Cai Wenlong was getting more and more anxious. He slapped the Table and shouted at the people from the Appraisal Department:
"Are you all just freeloaders? Everyone says that the corpse is the best witness. It's been so long, yet you guys still haven't gotten a single sentence out of the witness' mouth."
Xiao Xu, from the Assessment Branch pouted and said a little helplessly:
"It's not that we don't want to check, it's just that the current level of technology is very hard to find. We've already looked at their blood a few times, except for the mysterious substance in their blood, the formula and elements are all new, and no other object can be compared to the one in our blood."
Cai Wenlong didn't quite understand what Xiao Xu was saying, but he was very unhappy about the Appraisal Department trying to shirk their responsibilities.
In the end, it was me who acted as the mediator in the middle, smiling as he said to Cai Wenlong: "There are so many uses to this world's matters, science has no way to explain them, weren't you the one who said this? Why are you blaming Xiao Xu now?"
"But, this." Cai Wenlong was so anxious that he stomped his feet. I can understand her feelings, six people had consecutively died in the clubhouse, no matter where they were, it could be said to be a major murder case.
Besides, there was a blowtorch.
If there was any mistake, Cai Wenlong would be the first one to get into trouble.
Right now, he was walking on a steel wire, not a single mistake could be made.
I can understand his feelings.
I thought for a moment. Regarding this kind of Xiangxi, maybe I can only invite the locals over. It's the best thing to do.
Chou Yulong and Bai Yulang, were undoubtedly the best two.
I told Cai Wenlong not to worry and to give them both a call.
I, Eldest Brother Chou Yulong said that I made a call. I am currently on a business trip in Jiangxi and can't get in from my side for a while.
But Bai Yulang readily agreed, and after letting us wait for half an hour, he immediately came over.
After the call, Xiao Xu came over excitedly with two Photos in his hands, wanting to show us.
I took a look at the two Photos s. Both of them had the tattoo of a crow Tengu.
There was one that I felt was familiar, I knew it was the one that Tang Tao had tattooed on her body.
Xiao Xu said complacently:
"Look, what's this called? The heavens will never starve the blind sparrow, I just found this on the dead woman, it's the same tattoo on the female cadaver, it looks like it came from the same person."
The Crow Celestial Dog was a demon in the legends of the Pirate. It was said that this type of demon arrow technique was extremely proficient, able to travel through time and space at will.
