"My brother was in a good mood that afternoon. He also gave me 300 yuan of pocket money. ”

The girl lowered her head, her hands clutched tightly at the hem of her clothes, and her face turned pale. She was so frightened by her brother's tragedy that she almost lost her soul, and it was cruel to let her remember it now, but she had to do it for the sake of such a pitiful clue.

"Is three hundred a lot?"

"Hmm...... A lot. Because my brother is only an apprentice, his living expenses are only 500 a month. I was in junior high school in the city, and he gave me up to 200 yuan a month. Or did he squeeze it out between his teeth. The girl's voice was very small, and tears were dripping on her pants: "He took me to eat hot pot once that night, saying that I had been hungry for a long time......"

"Do you know where he got the money?"

"He seems to have picked it up." The girl struggled to recall: "I also showed me the red envelope with money." ”

"Where's that red envelope?"

"In my brother's cupboard, I'll get it for you."

The girl slowly stood up, staggered and lost her soul into the room, and after a while came out of it, holding a red envelope the size of an adult man's palm.

Siyuan took the red envelope, he felt weird as soon as he got started, and after touching it for a while, he handed it to Chen Ming next to him, and Chen Ming also touched it for a while and then handed it to Bray with his backhand.

"It's still skinny, huh?" Bray opened the red envelope and found seven or eight brand new bills inside: "There is still money in here that has not been used up." ”

"It's not the money." Chen Ming took the red envelope, put it in his hand and swayed for a while: "Human skin." ”

Human skin! Bray was so frightened that he rubbed his hand his pants, while Siyuan narrowed his eyes and said, "What is the date on the top?" ”

"It was yesterday."

"Hmm."

After Siyuan finished asking, he didn't speak again, but just thought quietly, although this matter seemed to have progressed. But in reality, it still didn't make any achievements, because this thing didn't say anything at all, the only thing that could explain it was that it was actually made of human skin. It felt weird and disgusting.

"The woman surnamed Zhou was also killed on the same day, right?"

"Yes." Ji Yanran opened her record book and flipped through a few sheets: "They were all killed that night after picking up a red envelope similar to a date with a date." ”

"I think it's more of a ritual."

"Ritual?" Chen Ming frowned and looked at Siyuan: "What do you say?" No matter how I look at it, I think it's for fun. ”

"Come out and say."

When Siyuan brought Chen Ming outside the door, he saw that there was no one around, and whispered, "I concluded that it was the reason for the ceremony." If it's fun, it's definitely not so planned, it seems random but very well prepared. Look at this bag, such a delicate human leather product is definitely not a day or two can be made in batches, and this is the * skin, if it is a dead person's skin, it will definitely not be so elastic. Also, these skins are all female skins around twenty-five years old. Compact, detailed and thin. ”

"Hey, wait, how do you know?"

"I'm Qianruo."

"Okay...... You continue. But next time you say who you are, before you speak. ”

"Okay, now it's Siyuan." Siyuan coughed: "If you guessed correctly, this is a voluntarily contributed skin." This may be an emerging cult. ”

"Cult?"

"Yes, and a foreign cult. Or ......" Siyuan lit a cigarette and looked at the wish with a deep look in his eyes: "It's time for us to start another battle with the Upper Three Realms." ”

"You mean...... This is what those people in the Upper Three Realms did? ”

"There's a good chance they're going from light to dark. In fact, when I first saw human skin, my first thought was Zuo Mingxuan, but with my understanding of him. It is unlikely that he would use something so ritualistic. Siyuan lay down with one hand under the camphor tree in the courtyard: "And most of this technique is inherited from some torture allusions in ancient Egypt, when I was in Yangcheng, I handled a case of Gu worm, which is the god of the Sumerians." Let's assume this. If Atun, Atum, Anubis, Abis, or any of Isis used their divine power to create a group of believers in the human world, wouldn't it be difficult? Of course, this is just a conjecture on my part, we have seen too many gods, and these so-called gods are no longer mysterious to me. ”

"So it looks like we're going to have to start here?"

Siyuan was noncommittal, turned around and walked into the house, standing in front of the little girl: "Where does your brother usually like to play?" ”

"My brother is very provincial, he is not only commuting. Every day, I will play in the Internet café at the entrance of the village after work. ”

"Understood." Siyuan put his hands on her shoulders: "Don't worry, wait for the day when your brother will be wronged." I'll come and tell you personally. ”

"Hmm...... Thank you, sister. The little girl threw herself into Siyuan's arms and cried: "I must help my brother avenge ......"

"Yes." After speaking, Siyuan waved his head: "Go." Go to that internet café. ”

As the biggest boss of the castle tower at this stage, his words were basically like orders, so Chen Ming and the others didn't say much, followed Siyuan out of the fish, and went straight to the Internet café.

This is probably the only Internet café in this village, the machine is tattered, obviously it is winter, but once you enter, you can still feel a hot warm current mixed with the smell of second-hand smoke, the greasy and dirty feeling makes people feel very uncomfortable.

The owner of the Internet café was a generous farmer, swarthy, and after seeing Chen Ming and a few guys who came over in police uniforms, he was frightened at that time, and almost trotted from the bar to the door.

"Hello." Chen Mingchao, the owner of the Internet café, saluted: "Do you know a person named Cao Qian?" ”

"Recognize...... Didn't you say he was dead? ”

"Yes, dead." Chen Ming continued: "So let's come over to find out the situation, may I ask if he often surfs the Internet here?" ”

"Yes...... Yes, he comes every day. The owner of the Internet café had never seen this battle, and he spoke with a trill: "I came yesterday, and I came the day before yesterday." ”

"Well, do you know about the money he picked up?"

"Money?" The boss was stunned, turned around and took out a red envelope from the drawer, and quickly handed it to Siyuan: "He also picked it up?" ”

Siyuan opened the wallet and found that it was empty, he turned his head to look at the boss: "You picked it up?" ”

"yes, several people picked it up yesterday. Why did I pay me back yesterday...... Hey, alas, it's a good boy. ”

"How many people have picked it up?" Chen Ming asked, "Do you know who it is?" Call us all, one counts as one. ”

The tone of this order was very tough, and the owner of the Internet café had no ability to resist at all, and walked out tremblingly. In a short time he was followed by seven or eight young men, the oldest probably around twenty-one twelve, and the youngest probably less than thirteen years old.

"How many of you are the ones who picked up the red envelopes?" Chen Ming sat on the chair and looked at the boys who looked very restrained: "How much did you get?" ”

“150”

“90”

“600”

“100”

“480”

“290”

“400”

A string of numbers came down, and Chen Ming turned his head to look at the owner of the Internet café again: "How much did you get?" ”

"Hey...... Hey, a little more than them, one thousand two. ”

After hearing this, Chen Ming smiled coldly and patted him on the shoulder: "You are so lucky, a little bit." ”

Almost? The owner of the Internet café looked a little surprised, he didn't know what this almost meant. But Siyuan knew that the amount of money that this boss picked up was probably less than a hundred yuan less than the money picked up by the deceased, and if it was a little more, I am afraid that the person lying on the dissection table now should be this swarthy and stocky Internet café owner.

"Has anyone else picked it up?"

"No, it seems like ten. They went on the computer and played for a while, and when they came back, they could see that the red envelope was on their table, and they didn't know who did it, and no one came last night. ”

Siyuan nodded: "Mo Ran, take a walk around the village and let Long Yuan identify the breath." ”

"Okay." Mo Ran also changed into a police uniform, looking heroic and beautiful: "I'll go back when I go." ”

After Mo Ran went out, Siyuan took the boss's red envelope and weighed it, and then frowned: "Paper? ”

"Yes, aren't red envelopes all paper?"

That's right! Red envelopes should be paper! That is, the red envelope is special, and it is estimated that the criminal tracked the victim by relying on the breath on that piece of human skin!

That is to say, what this red envelope contains is not life money, but a kind of equivalent exchange similar to rituals, or a kind of lottery nature, and the person who draws the red head mark will die tonight!

"Chen Ming, let's go back, now!" Siyuan looked down at his watch: "The third victim is about to appear!" ”

Siyuan's superpower suddenly made his heart shrink at this moment, and the hideous appearance of the third victim appeared in his mind, which made him unable to think, and immediately ordered Chen Ming to rush back to the Hongdu City, and called Mo Ran who was investigating back in the middle of the road.

"What's wrong, so in such a hurry." When he was in the car, Bray was still a little confused: "Didn't you just have a clue?" ”

Siyuan frowned: "The third victim is about to appear." "The third?" Bray's expression changed several times, and his face was cloudy: "Will there really be?" ”

"Others say yes, and it's worth considering. But he said something......" Chen Ming frowned: "We have no one now...... Mo Ran, Luo Fu, you go to Nancheng first! If there is any trouble, you can just intercept it, no matter what kind of thing it is, you can kill it. ”――

Jio was injured today, and I was in no mood to code words because of the pain...... I'll make it up tomorrow. Ay......
