Next, Shen Yan followed Zhao Kuo's instructions and wandered around on the street.
And spread the news at the noodle stall that Shen Yan had experienced a mental infection but was still alive.
The noodle stall is full of people coming and going, which is a good place to spread the news.
From time to time, someone would look at Shen Yan in surprise: "I heard that the infection in the city was caused by an aberration from the ruins."
"He was infected by such a powerful source of pollution and didn't even die. This guy is really lucky."
"No, look at how skinny and delicate he is."
Suddenly someone changed the subject: "But I heard that it seems that is not the case. The source of infection is not an aberration. It seems to involve old documents."
"Huh? How could it be? The results announced by the security booth have already explained the matter clearly."
The man laughed out loud: "Those white-bellied chickens in the Sheriff's Department don't even have all their hair. How can they do anything decent?"
"Ha, that's right. Those little bastards are still good at finding cats and dogs for the adults in the upper city."
News that seemed both true and false began to spread.
Don't think it's just hearsay, anyone who really pays attention to the incident will never miss such news.
In particular, the news also revealed some factors that made some people uneasy.
If uneasiness and uncontrollable factors arise, then the real murderer will at least be careful to confirm the situation.
Shen Yan was also carefully observing the diners who came to the stall these days.
The murderer was very careful and had not taken the initiative to contact Shen Yan so far.
However, even if the other party doesn't take the initiative to contact them, Shen Yan and the others have a way to make them have to contact them.
On this day, in the evening, Shen Yan was going to find a house in Xiacheng District.
That is, the family of the murderer Zhang Geng announced by the Security Bureau.
Zhang Geng had evil thoughts because of poverty, and his mind was corrupted and he committed crimes. In the final analysis, he just wanted to survive.
A man who would do whatever it takes to survive, but is willing to take the blame for the murderer? You must know that such a crime will lead to being hanged in public, and it will lead to death.
Then there is only one reason why Zhang Geng is willing to take the blame. The real murderer promised Zhang Geng benefits that he could not refuse.
This benefit will definitely not go to the dying man Zhang Geng, so the only place where the benefit will go is to Zhang Geng's family.
Shen Yan now takes the initiative to find Zhang Geng's family. In fact, he is telling the murderer that he has discovered something and is putting it into practice and starting an investigation.
The real murderer, in order to calm down the incident, took such a long detour and achieved such a result that fooled everyone, and he would never allow Shen Yan to continue investigating.
On the street, for Shen Yan's safety, Jiang Yu and Uncle Guo followed him, forming a trio of sequelae.
Compared to Jiang Yu's carefree personality, Uncle Guo was unusually silent and quiet.
Jiang Yu held up his chest: "Do you think that person will show up this time?"
"The glow in the evening, and the sky is not so dark that you can't see anything, is the best time to kill people and steal goods. You can twist people's necks and throw them into the sewer. No one knows what happened."
Before anyone could answer, Shen Yan suddenly stopped.
Jiang Yu and Uncle Guo clenched the daggers in their hands at the same time.
Shen Yan just walked around the empty spot in front of him and continued walking.
People around: "..."
I don't know why, but I suddenly feel chilly.
Jiang Yu couldn't help but swallowed, and then said to the people around him: "It's okay, it's okay, everyone just pretend you didn't see anything."
Hiss, Shen Yan is so scary right now.
After looking at the position Shen Yan walked around, Jiang Yu raised his feet and finally turned around.
People around: "..."
I am sick, I am seriously ill!
But for some reason, I subconsciously avoided it.
It's like coming to a strange room, everyone is sitting in the same place, and although I don't know why, latecomers will also choose to find a place to sit quietly.
Jiang Yu looked at the sky, and then said to Shen Yan, "They came out so early?"
Shen Yan nodded: "As a family, we are having a good time, probably going shopping."
Then he said: "Have you found out the location of Zhang Geng's family?"
Jiang Yuzheng looked back at the "family". Hearing this, he replied: "Zhang Geng's family originally lived in the poorest place in Xiacheng District, and the environment was very bad."
"But our people secretly inquired and found that their family had moved away. I don't know where the money came from, and they moved to a pretty good location."
After speaking, he also mentioned: “This is something they could never afford before.”
Shen Yan nodded knowingly.
When Shen Yan and the others arrived near Zhang Gengxin's house, they pretended to ask passers-by where the family lived.
Their purpose is not to find someone, but to attract someone to take action, so there is no need to be sneaky, but they can let the other party discover their purpose without leaving any trace.
A passerby said impatiently: "Which house are you looking for to move to?"
"Go forward, it's at the end of the road."
After finishing speaking, he muttered: "It's been several days since I moved here, but I haven't seen him go out. He's so sneaky and shady."
Shen Yan and the others continued to walk forward. The environment here was a bit remote, and there were only a few people walking on the road. When they arrived at Zhang Gengxin's home, it seemed a lot quieter.
Is it because it's at the end of the road?
The door of the house has a new coat of paint, as if to celebrate the joy of moving.
It was just a little quieter and there was no joyful atmosphere.
Shen Yan suddenly said: "Did you hear any strange sounds? They came from inside the house."
"It's like...a kind of painful wailing. Several wailing sounds are grouped together. I can't hear it clearly. If I didn't pay attention, I would think it was an auditory hallucination. It's eerie."
Jiang Yu stepped forward, leaned his ear against the door, and said after a while: "There was no sound, but it was unusually quiet."
Then he and Uncle Guo looked at each other. Shen Yan was not as strong as them. If there was any sound, they should hear it first.
Uncle Guo also approached the door and listened, then frowned.
Shen Yan asked, "What's wrong?"
Uncle Guo said: "There is not even the sound of breathing."
However, the passerby just now said that this family has never been out since they moved here, and they should all be at home.
Shen Yan and the other three looked at each other in confusion.
Jiang Yu took out the dagger in his hand: "You'll know if you go in and take a look. It's so mysterious."
He raised his foot and kicked the door open with a few "clang" sounds.
The room is a bit dark. It is a small room, and you can basically see everything at a glance after kicking the door open.
There was a strange smell in the house, like...the smell of dead mice.
Those strange sounds became more obvious in Shen Yan's ears.
But now, he couldn't care about these sounds at all, because in front of him, the rays of light shone into the room from the broken door, shining on several rotting corpses.
Flies fluttered and flesh worms squirmed.
The sounds in Shen Yan's ears came from these corpses.
Shen Yan couldn't help but think of the two professions of the Spirit Clan that Zhao Kuo once mentioned, the psychic and the corpse whisperer. It is said that the corpse whisperer can hear the sounds made by corpses.
The language of the dead is different from that of the living, whether it is a ghost or a corpse. I heard that the corpse whisperer is a profession that specializes in studying the language of corpses and obtains the desired information from corpses. Don’t underestimate this profession. When excavating ruins, Can play an unimaginable role.
Although Shen Yan could hear the corpse's voice, he couldn't read it and didn't have time to understand it.
He had participated in the maintenance and excavation of some tombs before, but the corpses excavated were mummies or white bones that had already been dehydrated. He had never seen such corpses with carrion.
His face turned pale.
Jiang Yu covered his nose and observed: "Looking like this, they have been dead for some time, at least about ten days. In other words, this family was already dead before we went to the security booth to understand the situation."
Why were they all murdered silently in this remote house? The cause of death may not be difficult to guess, and they may not know anything, but they were indirectly involved in the old document infection incident, and some people did not want them to have the opportunity to speak.
Poor Zhang Geng still wanted to take the blame for the murderer, thinking that his death had brought a better life to his family, but he did not know that he had killed his whole family. The cruelty of the murderer exceeded his expectations. Zhang Geng was now hanged for pleading guilty. There is really no evidence to prove it.
Even the indirect participants were brutally killed in a room where no one cared. So what about Shen Yan, the person who knew some of the inside story?
Judging from the murderer's performance, it is absolutely impossible to let him go.
At this time, the voices coming from the corpses suddenly became manic, fearful and timid, but mixed with roars.
Although Shen Yan couldn't understand the corpse language, he could feel the emotion in the voice.
Shen Yan raised his disgusted head and said, "There's something wrong, the voice is starting to feel wrong."
Jiang Yu and Uncle Guo were slightly startled. From beginning to end, they did not hear any sound.
Also at this moment, in the shadow, a tall shadow slashed directly at Shen Yan's neck.
In such a small house, there are people hiding in the shadows.
A... knight?
The armor is made of iron and the sword is very blunt and very big.
Shen Yan was a little confused, foreign heroic spirit?
He also has some knowledge of foreign cultural relics and history, but not in depth.
Judging from the knight's armor and the blunt sword he uses, he looks a bit like a medieval Western witch-hunting knight.
There is a cross pattern on the knight's armor.
Medieval Crusades?
Although Jiang Yu and Uncle Guo were checking the situation in the house just now, they knew very well what the purpose of their operation was to attract the murderer to show up, which meant that the murderer could take action at any time.
Therefore, always stay alert to your surroundings.
When the knight from the shadow of the room came out, a figure pierced out of Jiang Yu's shadow.
Wearing a helmet with a bunch of red tassels, bright yellow soft armor with metal spikes all over it, a shiny steel knife on his waist, and long cotton shoes.
The most elite disciple of the Eight Banners in the Qing Dynasty, Zhenghuang Banner, one of the Three Banners.
With just one glance, Shen Yan could even tell which branch of the Eight Banners this heroic spirit belonged to, and even included the possible surname of this heroic spirit.
Either Nalan or Borzigit.
Very agile and extremely fast.
The taciturn Uncle Guo next to Shen Yan directly pulled Shen Yan out of the room and stood in front of Shen Yan. In Uncle Guo's shadow, like a wild wave, people and horses surged out.
Heavy armor, astonishingly long spears, and even the horses were covered in iron armor.
Shen Yan couldn't help but show a surprised expression: "This is..."
The six horses of Zhaoling came to court from all the barbarians, the strongest heavy cavalry recorded in the history books!
It is a blessing to be able to come to this world, because the unknown or famous human heroes all fought side by side on the same stage and died in blood.
