My Wife Is A Ghost Exorciser

Chapter 744 Not More Than Twenty Four

When everyone heard what Song Yan said they were stupefied, they all turned to look at the old woman's corpse while turning to look at Song Yan who was still examining the body as Old Master Yan said, " Yan Yan, what are you talking about, this body certainly belongs to an old woman. Even though she is missing an eye and jaw, her hair is still grey."

Though he believed Song Yan's ability but what his eyes were seeing seemed to be different from what Song Yan just told them.

Before Song Yan could say anything, it was Fu Yu Sheng suddenly spoke up, " Even if the body looks like that of an old woman if we look around at everything that she is holding and wearing, I think that we had to admit that she is dressed like a young woman, when was the last time you saw an old woman wearing a dress that only reaches her thighs with a braided shopping bag, grandpa Yan?"

Old Master Yan: "….." he turned to look at the body of the old woman and had to admit that the woman was indeed dressed in a manner that was a bit too atrocious.

" Maybe she is one of those modernised old women?" Yan Bao suggested though he did admit that something was weird about this corpse they could not ignore the sagging skin and white hair that was sticking to the bones of the woman's body.

Song Yan opened her mouth at that very moment and then started to explain why she came to such a bizarre conclusion, " Grandpa Yan, Brother Bao, I said this after carefully examining the bones of this corpse," she pointed to the corpse while looking at Fang Yanli who was telling her that the Yin energy of the corpse was not more than that of twenty-five years which made her even more certain that her examination was not wrong.

" Even though the corpse looks old and battered if you carefully look at it… you will see that the bones are not brittle and lacking in calcium, if anything they look like they belong to someone young and someone who took good care of herself, what's more, is that the corpse is completely dried up and is not rotting which means that it was sucked dry completely with everything that was inside it including the internal organs as well."

She then stared at the unhinged jaw of the corpse and narrowed her eyes as she looked at the string of a white liquid that was completely dry and added,  " And from what I can see is that this case is fairly similar to that of the guards, the white liquid with which those two guards were covered with had been dried up which is why you cannot see that it is molten ...the skin which you believe is sagging, I am certain that its actually molten ....and  if you bring this body for the examination you will see that this woman is covered up in the same liquid as those guards."

With that, she pushed herself off the ground and then looked around the surrounding where she did not feel any grudge or yin energy which was supposed to be lingering here since a murder took place and that too of a young woman, her eyes flashed before she turned to look at Old Master Yan and said wisely, " This woman was not killed here and nor was she killed yesterday. Someone killed this woman days ago and stored her corpse until it was dried up and then threw it out in the open like this…is there a furnace around here or something?"

As soon as Song Yan finished explaining everything, one of the Yan Bao's soldiers nodded and then replied, "That's right there is indeed a big furnace at the back of the military district where we take care of the trash and everything else. It's environment friendly and the ashes that originate inside are taken care of properly as well."

" That solves the mystery then," Fu Yu Sheng chimed up as he was done listening to the soldier's words, he turned to look at Old Master Yan and went on speaking, " The culprit must have dried this corpse up and wanted to take care of it last night but were startled by something which was why they dropped it here in their hurry."

Once Old Master Yan was done listening to what Fu Yu Sheng was saying, his pupils contracted and he turned to look at the corpse that was lying on the side of the grassy pavement and rubbed his forehead, what the heck? He retired because he wanted to live a peaceful life with his family and no longer worry about such a thing.

But now because of these supernatural things and the parasitic demons, he was having a hard time getting proper sleep! These days he was physically and mentally exhausted as he thought about the parasitic demons and now there was something else lurking inside the military district as well.

The more he thought about it the more he broke out in cold sweat just how many demons were lurking in this place? Was this a military district or a monster-rearing yard for someone?

He then turned to look at Song Yan and asked in a worried voice, " Yan Yan, are you sure that this is a young woman? You did not see it wrong? But if this is not done by the parasitic demons then who else was involved? Are you really sure?"

" I am certain, parasitic demons can only slowly kill a person, they cannot exchange their life force and everything else" replied Song Yan as she shook her head. " This thing might be related to the parasitic demons where it is completely different from them and I am sure that it is more powerful than the parasitic demons that we have encountered. If you doubt my examination then you can call the experts and have them examine this corpse and tell you the age of this body by examining her bones."

Song Yan was certain that this matter was related to something similar to those things that she encountered in the company of her sister-in-law but she could not understand just what kind of things were those demons and how in the world they came into existence in the first place. She was equally puzzled when she looked at the corpse, she still could not understand what exactly was these monsters after. Was it the life force? Beauty or what?
