"So that's what happened?"
Shen Xing reacted, put down the arc knife in his hand, and stood up.
Zhang Shu's case was originally very bizarre. Not only was this guy affected by the possession of his face, but his limbs were also tied to the four corners of the bed.
It is no longer as simple as making an abnormality. There is definitely a human factor in tying up a person.
Zheng Ruijun said that the case would be transferred to the jurisdiction of Heshan City, and as expected, members of the city's special investigation team arrived.
Just looking at Zhou Dao's appearance, he looks more like a city hall official than a member of the special task force.
The most important thing is that he also carries a small leather bag under his arm, which is full of style. If during the investigation of the case, there is a conflict after an abnormal encounter, will he just smash it with the leather bag? Or kick the abnormal head with those shiny leather shoes?
However, Shen Xing knows that sometimes the more contrasting a person is, the more he should not underestimate him, because usually the person who looks like a plainclothes peace officer at first glance, and the person who doesn't look like a peace officer no matter how you look at him, are often the latter. The strength is stronger.
After pouring a cup of hot water for Zhou Dao and placing it next to the chair where he was sitting, Shen Xing said: "The Zhang Shu case was the first crime scene I went to. After I found something wrong, I reported it to the city's special case Investigation team.”
Before arriving, Zhou Dao had obviously learned some information about Shen Xing and knew that he was a temporary case handler of the Yungu City Special Case Investigation Team.
He put the leather bag under his arm aside, took a sip of hot water, and said: "I have seen all the photos of the scene, and I also went to Jujiayuan for an on-site inspection yesterday. I want to find out more from you, Were you sure Zhang Shu was dead when you went?"
"Yes, he's dead." Shen Xing nodded, "When I entered the house, I found his body lying on the bed, not breathing."
"But you told the investigation team afterwards that you called Zhang Shu before entering the house, and he answered the call." Zhou Dao asked.
"He didn't answer the call because I also found an ink stain about the size of two palms in the house, and this thing tried to attack me." Shen Xing told the truth.
Zhou Dao opened the small leather bag placed aside, took out his mobile phone from it, opened a picture, handed it to Shen Xing and said, "Look, does it look like this?"
Shen Xing took a look and saw that the picture on his phone showed an unfamiliar scene in another room, but at this moment there was also a mass of ink stains in the middle of the picture. This ink stain clung to the surface of a cloth sofa, and it looked bigger than what he saw. That one is much bigger.
He asked in surprise: "Have you encountered other ink stains?"
Zhou Dao nodded: "We encountered it twice. The first time we tried to control it with an electrostatic field, but it ran away. The second time the density of the electrostatic field was too strong, which directly caused this ink stain, which is where you are in the photo. This one I saw exploded."
"Could they have any connection with facial abnormalities?" Shen Xing guessed.
Zhou Dao shook his head: "It's not a connection. We speculate that Mozhi is also collecting it. According to the report provided by the Yungu City investigation team, 'face' is an extremely reproductive anomaly, but if the upper mother body dies, this The branches of the veins will all perish. This ink stain is trying to find the uppermost matrix of the 'face' as much as possible, and then collect something."
Shen Xing was shocked when he heard this: "In other words, what we have discovered so far, including the 'faces' tracked and collected by this ink stain, are not the uppermost matrix?"
"No." Zhou Dao put away his mobile phone. "Our Heshan City Special Investigation Team had a case last year. A middle-aged woman had a skin disease and ulcers all over her body. No matter how she treated it, it was useless. Later, her After all the skin rotted away, new skin grew, and we found that this new layer of skin was extremely flexible and tolerant. At night, the entire skin completely peeled off, leaving only the woman's bloody body... "
After a pause, Zhou Dao took a sip of water and continued: "When we found this woman, she was already dead, but the entire skin was missing. Later, surveillance cameras found a woman without clothes going down the stairs and disappeared. The woman under surveillance has thick and lush hair, but the head of the woman who lost her skin is a mess of blood and flesh, and not a single hair is left."
"That is, the skin left on his own, and was he caught later?" Shen Xing asked.
Zhou Dao shook his head: "Later, three adults died in Xiangyang District of the big city within a month. The symptoms were skin ulcers all over the body, but no new skin grew. But when we conducted surveillance, we found that one of the deceased walked very slowly. It’s strange, but after several analyses, it was confirmed that this man was covered entirely by the woman’s skin, and his skin was slowly eaten away.”
"Tsk tsk..." Shen Xing shook his head.
"According to our speculation, this whole skin is the upper matrix of the 'face' layer, or the matrix of several layers above. As for whether it is the uppermost layer, we don't know." Because many people died but no arrests were made. Looking at the whole piece of skin, Zhou Dao's expression was also a little gloomy at this moment.
"Did no one die later?" Shen Xing asked curiously.
"No more, that thing just disappeared suddenly and never appeared again. We can only announce that these people died of an unknown skin disease." Zhou Dao shook his head.
"So the ink stain may also be collecting relevant information." Shen Xing guessed, "And it also involves people who have been in contact with the anomaly."
"It's better that you don't know this." Zhou Dao obviously didn't want to reveal any more relevant information.
He then asked Shen Xing what happened at the scene, and Shen Xing did not hide anything, including the fact that he tried to make a phone call in another room, and Zhang Shu answered it, and told him everything.
Zhou Dao believes that this is a very important clue. At least Mo Shi behaves exactly like a human being. He can make calls, communicate with others, and even sneak attack humans.
The two chatted for a while, and Zhou Dao left a business card of his before leaving, claiming that Shen Xing could contact him at any time whenever he had the opportunity to go to Heshan City.
After sending him outside the store, a black car parked on the roadside opened the back seat door. It seemed that someone was sitting in the car and had been waiting for Zhou Dao.
Zhou Dao said: "I have been in Yungu City for the past few days. If you think of anything you haven't told me, no matter what is suspicious, remember to contact me at any time."
"Okay, no problem." Shen Xing nodded.
"Whether it's an abnormality, a person, or even a police officer." Zhou Dao said again, lowered his head, got into the car, closed the door, and left.
"Sheriff?" Shen Xing was stunned for a moment and looked at the black car going away.
It seems that these license plates are not local to Yungu City, but from Heshan City.
"Something suspicious? Is it an abnormality, a person, or a police officer?" Shen Xing slowly repeated Zhou Dao's words.
