Chapter 309: Chapter 309: God of Death Sorcerer_1
One of the team members subconsciously reached for his issued gun. But as soon as he took it out, his hands were shaking so badly that the gun slipped with a clatter and fell to the ground.
He tried to pick it up, but the seated headless female corpse suddenly stood up and walked towards him. The terrified team member quickly backed away and dared not retrieve his gun.
"Useless!"
Jiang Yan cursed loudly, then drew his pistol and fired three shots at the headless female corpse, bang, bang, bang.
After being hit by three bullets, the headless female corpse toppled to the ground with a thud and did not get up again, nor did it cause any more trouble.
Pointing at the female corpse, Jiang Yan asked the medical examiner, "What just happened? She doesn’t even have a head. How could she stand up? And even walk?"
"This..." The medical examiner showed a puzzled expression. After sorting through the medical knowledge in his mind, he finally concluded, "It might be that before death, the criminal injected her with some specific solution. That solution could affect the corpse’s nerves, so she was able to stand up and even walk a few steps."
"Solution? So you’re saying the criminal is deliberately trying to trick us, to create confusion? Are you suggesting he wants to make this murder case and decapitation look like feudal superstition, like that witchcraft stuff the kid was talking about just now? It seems, that kid is very suspicious!"
"Captain Jiang, I’m just speculating. I’ve only heard of such a solution but never seen it. To know exactly what happened, we need to take this body back for a detailed autopsy to reach a scientific and objective conclusion."
Downstairs, Qin Feng had his hands in his pockets, waiting for Song Sisi’s barbecue.
Even though the commotion upstairs was from as far as eighteen floors away, he heard and saw everything. After all, he possesses Heaven’s Gaze!
During the wait for the barbecue, he wasn’t idle; he used Heaven’s Gaze to scan the entire building. Eventually, he located the wizard and confirmed his identity.
Just as he expected, the troublemaker was indeed Yoshida Takumura.
Severely injured by Qin Feng earlier in the night, Yoshida Takumura had come here to kill and heal himself.
The witchcraft of Sakura Country might share an ancestor with that of Dragon Country, but they belong to different sects.
One sect in Sakura Country is called the God of Death Sorcerer, who improve their sorcery by taking human lives. Hence, the wizards of Sakura Country are all butcher-like murderers!
Yoshida Takumura had already captured the woman’s soul and was in the process of consuming it. It would take him at least two hours to completely devour the soul. During these two hours, he wouldn’t be able to leave and kill anyone else.
Moreover, for a God of Death Sorcerer of Yoshida Takumura’s level, his cultivation technique only allowed him to take one life and absorb one soul per day!
So, as long as Jiang Yan didn’t find him and didn’t push him into a corner, the Patrol Team members would be safe.
At that moment, Song Sisi came back with the barbecue.
"What about the beer?" Qin Feng asked.
Song Sisi had bought two bottles of milk tea from a 24-hour convenience store and handed one to Qin Feng, saying, "Why drink beer? We have a case to handle later! Drink milk tea!"
Qin Feng found a stone bench, opened the barbecue, and realized none of the dishes he ordered were there, replaced entirely by vegetarian options.
"Why is it all vegetarian? What, are you feeding rabbits?"
"Eat it or not, it’s diet food!"
"I’m not on a diet!"
"Are you going to eat? If not, I will!"
Hungry herself, Song Sisi was not about to show courtesy to Qin Feng and began to eat right away.
Her order was not entirely vegetarian; it also included some lamb skewers and such, but she did not grill the lamb kidneys that Qin Feng had requested. After all, she ordered everything she liked.
"The young talk foolishly, the young do foolishly," Qin Feng said about her, then began to eat heartily from both hands.
After eating a few skewers to mildly satisfy his hunger, Song Sisi asked, "Nothing happened while I was away, right?"
"Shouldn’t have," Qin Feng replied.
"What do you mean it ’shouldn’t have’?"
"I wasn’t at the scene; how would I know what happened there? But, I guess that headless female corpse probably stood up and took a couple of steps."
His words frightened Song Sisi.
"You mean the headless female corpse played dead? Could she kill someone?" she asked anxiously.
"That headless female corpse is just a corpse, not a zombie; how can she kill anyone? But in the dead of night, when a headless female corpse suddenly stands up from the ground, that’s quite frightening. Just don’t know if your Patrol Team members can withstand the scare?"
Taking no chances, Song Sisi hurriedly phoned Qi Hong.
The phone rang for quite a while before Qi Hong answered. Instead of answering in front of Jiang Yan, he ran out to the corridor and tucked himself into an empty corner to respond quietly.
"Captain Song, that female corpse sprang back to life just now," he blurted out as his first sentence.
"Came back to life? Everyone’s okay, right?"
"After reviving, the headless female corpse was shot down by Captain Jiang. Everyone was just startled, but no one was harmed."
"Quickly tell Jiang Yan that the situation is very dangerous right now. Only Qin Feng coming up here will be able to handle it."
