Chapter 859 The Secret of the Feathered People

The progress of the investigation mentioned by the police certainly means that Xing Wei has been arrested. Faced with a Yumin who is deliberately hiding, even a practitioner has no good solution, let alone an ordinary person.

In fact, they only found the surveillance video that captured the appearance of the murderer. In a small place like Mingshui, which does not have much police force, it is reasonable for it to take so long. After all, this is not the only case they have on hand.

A few of us chose a time after get off work to go to the bureau accompanied by Mrs. Hu. Although it was already seven or eight o'clock in the evening, the bureau was extremely lively. We could smell the smell of instant noodles in the corridor. It seems that these police officers are indeed doing "psychological counseling" recently.

There is still only one rule - try to keep a low profile.

Under this premise, we only came into contact with the old police officer named Lao Zhou. After he met us at the door, he led us directly to the place where we usually take notes.

At this time, there was no one in the room, except for a computer that was turned on.

On the computer are several edited surveillance videos, put together for comparison.

Lao Zhou said: "It was late at night when the murderer committed the crime. Due to the light and angle, many cameras around him did not capture the picture, or it was very unclear, almost just a black shadow. We adjusted almost all the surveillance cameras around us.

, I finally found a few relatively clear ones with different angles.

By the way, the autopsy report has also come out. The time between the deceased's autopsy and the murderer's escape in the surveillance is very close, maybe only a few minutes. The other party did not have time to deal with the traces left at the scene. This is also quite consistent with what we found at the scene.

To match."

Of course he didn't have time to deal with it. In fact, he was so panicked at that time. The moment the floor boy returned, I hit him immediately and followed him like a shadow. Who else would not be heartbroken and panicked in that situation?

All you want to do is run for your life? There is no way to calm down and analyze carefully.

I sneered secretly in my heart.

Lao Zhou pointed to the computer and asked, "Is there any problem with the operation?"

Zhang Xinya said no problem.

Lao Zhou nodded: "Then you see, if nothing happens, I will go to eat first."

After saying that, he turned around and left, but when he reached the door, he turned back and asked me: "By the way, how much longer do we need to train?"

I smiled, pointed at the computer and said, "It depends on how many clues these things can provide."

Lao Zhou nodded slightly, opened the door and left.

After the door closed, Zhang Xinya couldn't wait to sit in front of the computer and started playing with the interface.

I sat down next to her and stared closely at the surveillance video in the middle, because this one was the clearest. Judging from the angle, it should have been taken from top to bottom, and it was facing the main entrance of the hotel.

If I remember correctly, there seems to be a residential building opposite the hotel?

It seems that this should have been captured by a camera of a resident in a residential building. It seems that for some reason, the camera of this resident happened to be turned in this direction. It was indeed an unexpected thing. It was a matter of luck.

It's very big, and the police really spent a lot of time collecting these surveillance videos.

When the time point on the surveillance video jumped to less than ten minutes after I had just driven away the floor boy, there was finally movement at the main door of the hotel. The door was almost knocked open in an almost violent way. Then,

A man wearing a peaked cap stumbled out of the hotel.

He seemed to have difficulty breathing. He covered his neck with both hands. When he crossed the green belt on the side of the road, he fell to the ground with a "pop"!

Immediately afterwards, his whole body began to twitch violently, especially his two legs, which were kicked straight...

"Ha, I really beat her until she became paralyzed. It's like having epilepsy!"

Lao Bai laughed loudly, and immediately realized that he was in a bureau, and quickly lowered his voice, but his gloating look never stopped.

I remained silent. The person in the surveillance video was undoubtedly Xing Wei. When he fell on the green belt, the peaked cap on his head also fell off.

The camera facing the hotel's front entrance was too far away to capture Xing Wei at this time.

My eyes turned to the surveillance video in the lower right corner. It should have been a roadside camera that captured this video. Because of the angle, the location of the hotel could not be seen in the video. Instead, it was the green belt where Xing Wei fell.

The situation is clearer.

I stared at the picture for a moment and said, "That's it, zoom in!!"

Zhang Xinya immediately did as he was told, then looked at me and saw my brows were frowning more and more, so she asked in a low voice: "Did you find anything?"

I hesitated for a moment and said, "Hair, his hair is different!"

"Are you talking about the hairstyle?"

Lao Bai came up and took a closer look, and then said: "It's true that his hairstyle has changed. He has a short haircut. When I saw him last time in the 17th District, his hair was really long and reached his waist. But this time

Birdman is not as good-looking as Mr. Zhang and Wushuang. He has such long hair and looks indescribably greasy..."

Although this camera is closer to where Xing Wei fell to the ground, it is still far away. The street lights next to it are not that bright. Even if Zhang Xinya zooms in, the view is not very clear. It is normal for Lao Bai not to notice anything strange.

I stared at it for a while, and then said after confirmation: "It's not the hairstyle, but the color of the hair. When I saw him last time in District 17, his appearance was completely different from when he was in school.

, the hair was very long, half black and half white. At that time, I was a little confused. Later, I felt that this was probably the original appearance of the feather people. He was returning to his ancestors step by step. After all, many ancient books described the appearance of the feather people.

The records are surprisingly consistent. They all say that this kind of thing has white hair and red eyes.

But if you look at his hair in the surveillance video, his hair is all black. I don’t think he dyed it deliberately for disguise..."

Before he finished speaking, Xing Wei in the surveillance video seemed to finally be unable to endure the pain after struggling fiercely for a long time. He put one hand into his trouser pocket and pulled out a bloody object, which looked like a downward thrust.

Like a sword, he held the thing, and after a brief hesitation, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it briefly and swallowed it!

As if what I just said came true, the color of his hair changed again at this moment. Starting from the temples, it was covered with a thin layer of white frost at a speed visible to the naked eye...

His hair turned white again!!

After doing all this, Xing Wei gradually calmed down and seemed to be less painful. After a short rest, he struggled to get up and staggered into the dark night.

However, during this process, his hair color continued to change, sometimes turning completely black, sometimes turning half of it white...

"Xiphoid..."

Brother Yaozi said: "The bone he swallowed was the xiphoid process in the human body. To be more precise, it was the xiphoid process that was snatched away from the innkeeper. It seemed that only ten minutes had passed since the innkeeper's murder.

, the innkeeper’s soul is still on the sword protrusion, he is... just swallowing the innkeeper’s soul, he is not a ghost mother, nor a Nuo beast, why would he dare to do this? "

"The forbidden artifact of the Feather People, that thing that once needed to be suppressed by the Heavenly Official Blade, was also the thing that I wanted to obtain when Xing Wei was sacrificed alive..."

This idea came to my mind for the first time, and then I pointed to the green belt where Xing Wei just fell to the ground in the video, and said with a smile: "According to the records in ancient books, the Yumen do not have the ability to swallow ghosts alive. Unless there is an accident, they should

It was that artifact that helped him refine the souls of living people. Rather than saying that he swallowed a person's soul, it is better to say that he swallowed the Yin Qi after the soul was broken up. If you don't believe me, take a closer look.

Those plants in the green belt where he fell to the ground..."

"It turned white..."

Zhang Xinya murmured to herself, and then realized: "It's not that they turned white, but under the influence of the strong Yin Qi, those plants were covered with frost. Fortunately it's not winter, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to tell the difference!"

"That's the truth!"

I rubbed my chin, and combined with Xing Wei's changes, a bold idea gradually came into my mind, and I said to Zhang Xinya: "Xinya, do you remember what we saw when we first rushed into Xing Wei's house?

Xing Wei's father attacked me in the form of a feathered man and was killed in the end. I knew almost nothing at that time, but he still couldn't kill me all at once, giving Zhi Niang a chance to save me.

It shows that his father, as a Yumin, is not very powerful. From the perspective of a cultivator, he is at most stronger than a little devil. Well... He has not even reached the level of fetal breath. Later, we continued

Some subsequent discoveries also prove one point - the feathered people are degenerating!

At least, the feather people we have seen so far are not as powerful as the comings and goings recorded in the ancient books!

It may be that they have been among the crowd for a long time and intermarried with others, or it may be due to some other reasons. In short, the Feather People are indeed degenerating. Even their appearance, including their wings... have completely degenerated!

But the state shown by Xing Wei in District 17 last time told me that he is recovering and moving closer to his ancestors step by step. It can be called an atavism!

I think there is a high probability that these changes were not brought about by Lord Water. Although Lord Water was an evil creature from ancient times, he was suppressed by the last Heavenly Official for more than a thousand years. Now he is at the level of a Heavenly Master at most, and he is still there.

While he was recovering, he had no power to help a race as ancient as himself, the Yu People, return to their ancestors. In other words, this atavism was also caused by the forbidden artifact of the Yu People.

Judging from Xing Wei's current state, he may not have completely completed his return to his ancestors. This process is much more difficult than imagined. And after my five-star divine curse hit him, he was severely injured and his condition became worse.

Stability, atavism was also interrupted, and it even tried to bite him back, almost adding insult to injury, and finally achieved the effect in the video.

I said that my five-star divine spell was just hit to him from a distance, and the blow was not fatal. Why was it so effective? It turned out that he himself had a problem!

Referring to his appearance when I saw him in District 17, I feel that his atavism may be a transformation between yin and yang. His hair color is half black and half white. I have to think about this, is he going to

Completely separated from the human category, that's why I have to shed my yang energy and become the real feathered people recorded in ancient books...

Similarly, the color of his hair changed for the same reason after he was seriously injured. Afterwards, he swallowed the soul of the hotel owner and absorbed a large amount of Yin Qi in order to stabilize his condition...

However, this kind of Yin Qi is obviously not enough."

Zhang Xinya said tentatively: "That is to say..."

"In other words, he won't be able to escape until his condition stabilizes!"

I stood up: "Let's go, I probably know how to find him!!"
Chapter completed!
