I understand Hao Minyuan's words: "Brother Minyuan, is it ...... Do you think the same thing is happening again today? ”

Hao Minyuan nodded without hesitation: "There are too many strange things happening on the side of the Yellow River this year, and it is very likely that this thing will happen again!" ”

I suddenly thought of the "living corpse" murder case that happened in Jinan before, and hurriedly asked Hao Minyuan: "You said it was a case that happened a hundred years ago...... Why hasn't it happened in the past 100 years, and only now does it happen again? ”

Hao Minyuan shook his head: "It should be an evil art." It's been too long! There was no information to check at all, but Healy had gone to visit an expert on folklore to see if he could ask something! ”

"Do you think it's possible that most of the people who knew this kind of evil art back then were not in the country for a hundred years, and now they are back?"

Hao Minyuan pondered for a moment and nodded: "This is a reasonable explanation, but ...... But what caused them to leave the country suddenly? ”

Hao Minyuan asked me rhetorically.

"I think this has to be analyzed from the domestic situation a hundred years ago! At that time, it was the end of the Qing Dynasty, the warlords were divided, the country was in turmoil, and it was very important that the dynasty that had lasted for 2,000 years was overthrown at once, and people's emotions and thoughts at that time were extremely high, even extreme, and it was difficult for these superstitious things to exist in this land. ”

Hao Minyuan nodded again: "Yes!" Coupled with the fact that after 1949, the practice of defeating all bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods came and went, and it was even more difficult for these people to survive.

"Brother Minyuan, have you heard that there was a group of Yellow River credit knife people living on the edge of the Yellow River before?"

Hao Minyuan nodded: "This name...... I've heard this name - what, do you think this case is related to the Yellow River Knife Man? ”

I shook my head: "Just feel!" In the past few days, there has also been a bizarre case in Jinan......"

I mysteriously disappeared the body of Qilu Funeral Home, and then there was a murder, and then with the assistance of me, Daoji, and Miaozhen, I briefly told me about catching the murderer.

"What!! The murderer turned out to be a Western warlock? Hao Minyuan jumped up directly from the stone steps.

"Actually, I'm also sure - at that time, Dao Ji said that he was clearly from Shandong, and it seems that he was forced to flee to a certain country in the West during the turmoil of ten years, but the person is dead, and I am afraid that many things will never be understood."

Hao Minyuan nodded again: "That's how you thought that people who might understand this kind of life-sustaining evil art have not been in the country for more than 100 years?" ”

"That's right! I always felt like there was a connection between these two things! ”

Hao Minyuan patted the soil on his body: "Don't bother thinking! Wait and see what Healy turns out of! ”

It was such a coincidence, as soon as Liu Xili was mentioned, Hao Minyuan received a call from him.

Hao Minyuan picked it up, said twice, and hung up.

"Brother, Healy said to let me go over, there are some things, I'm afraid he can't convey clearly."

"Where are you going?"

"The family of the folklore expert I mentioned earlier, he retired and moved back to the village."

"Oh! What village? ”

"It seems to be called Yangmiao Village-Healy has a location, anyway, you're fine, just follow and take a look!"

When I arrived at Yangmiao Village, it was already an hour later.

Liu Xili led us to a campus.

An old man in a coarse cloth coat feeds chickens.

"This is Uncle Wang! Before his retirement, Uncle Wang was the deputy director of the Cultural Center and an expert in folklore, and was often invited to give lectures in various places. ”

The old man smiled and waved his hand: "What do you say!" Don't beat around the bush. ”

When I observed the old man's appearance, I really felt a little bit like a fairy bone.

Hao Minyuan hurriedly took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it over with a smile, but the old man waved his hand and refused.

"The case you are talking about actually happened thirty years ago, and it is in our district!"

I didn't expect the old man to suddenly come up with such a sentence.

"Ahh Thirty years ago? Hao Minyuan exclaimed.

"That's right! Because of some historical reasons, this case was not made public, and not many people knew the truth at that time......"

The old man said that 30 years ago, the police force and criminal investigation level at that time were still very poor, and there were successive deaths in the local area, and the deceased were all young boys in their early tens, and the death and cause of death were extremely strange.

The first deceased was found dead in his own home, his family was in the countryside, he was a left-behind child, his parents worked in a factory 20 miles away all the year round, and usually returned home every two weeks and half a month.

Children in rural areas are in charge of their families early, and they are usually at home by themselves, and in a blink of an eye, they are in the second year of junior high school.

One day the child didn't go to school – not to mention a mobile phone in those days, it was a landline, and there wasn't one in the whole village, so the teacher had to ride a bicycle and let another child in the village take him to his home to see how the child was doing.

The boy's family lived on the edge of the village, and when the teacher arrived, he first pushed it and found that the courtyard gate was covered with a stone—which meant that there was someone in the house! The teacher was a little angry and speculated that the boy might have been lazy and didn't go to school.

Pushing hard, the door opened, and the teacher saw that the door was open through the crack, and then he became even more angry, first calling out the boy's name, and only after finding that no one answered, did he push the door and enter.

I found a very terrifying scene.

The little boy was hanged from a wooden beam in the living room in a red dress.

Man is cold and stiff.

He immediately called the police, and after the final investigation of the scene, he came to the following conclusion: the boy was wearing a red dress, looking at the model, it was an adult, and he was wearing lipstick, and he had a large scale around his neck, and the person was suffocated to death, and no other external injuries were found on his body.

At the second autopsy, it was discovered that there was a pinhole in the center of his eyebrows, which could not be seen at all if he did not look carefully.

When interrogating neighbors and the boy's parents, they all said that the boy had no other shortcomings except for being introverted, and he was usually enthusiastic and never quarreled with his classmates.

His parents are also good people, and they have a good relationship with the neighbors in the village, and there is absolutely no enemy.

The point is that the little boy's hands and feet were not tied at that time, and no other suspicious traces were found, which did not look like he had killed.

The second autopsy also revealed something strange - a milky white spot was found on the boy's thigh, which was determined to be human semen, and finally proved to be the child's own.

This makes it even more difficult to figure out.

There was no way to continue investigating the boy's situation, but his classmates reported that the boy had a crush on a girl who was one level higher than them, and that girl developed earlier and usually liked to wear red skirts.

After investigating for half a year, I really couldn't find any other clues, so I came to the conclusion that the boy encountered adolescent confusion, and because he stayed alone all the year round, which led to psychological distortion, coupled with his own personality problems, he had a special habit. 101 Chinese Net

So this death was an accident - overplayed.

Who knew that as soon as the conclusion was made, there was another murder nearby, the deceased was also a fourteen-year-old boy, and the death of the two boys was almost exactly the same as the cause of death, the same hanging on the roof beam, the same red dress, the same lipstick, and there was a pinhole in the center of the eyebrows that was not easy to find.

I can't explain it this time, it can't all be the same fetish, right? It also disproves the hypothesis of the cause of the death of the first boy.

The matter was not over yet, a few days later a third appeared, followed by a fourth, a fifth......

Within a year and three months, within a radius of one hundred and fifty miles, seven boys had died, and the circumstances of death were almost identical.

Fortunately, the communication equipment was not developed at that time, there was no network, and there were no mobile phone WeChat, Douyin and other things, otherwise there might be a lot of news.

Unable to solve the case, the professional found a friend of the old man, who was an expert in occultism and also studied theology and witchcraft.

After listening to the introduction of the case, the old man's friend looked at a large number of photos of the deceased at the scene, and finally came to the conclusion that this is a kind of soul renewal, that is, extracting the soul from the eyebrows of these children and using it to renew the life of other people.

In the social context at that time, this statement did not dare to be said openly at all, so naturally it was impossible to continue to investigate.

Almost immediately, a strange thing happened a hundred miles away.

At that time, there was an old chief who was retired at home, and it was said that his military rank was not low, and he seemed to be a major general.

After retiring, people's health has also deteriorated significantly, and even half a year ago, when they wanted to stand up and walk a few steps, they felt struggling - waiting for death.

The strange thing is that the old chief turned out to be miraculously better, and his health is getting better day by day, and he can even play horizontal bars and parallel bars.

It was another twenty years, ten years ago, before the old chief died.

The old man's narration made my scalp tingle when I heard it, which was almost the same as the case of a hundred years ago that Hao Minyuan told outside the funeral home, which echoed that word - no coincidence.

"Uncle, you told this story because you wanted to tell us something, right?"

The old man smiled slightly: "Actually, I was also very interested in this case back then, and I have been investigating it behind my back for several years, and it turned out that this kind of soul retinning technique originated from ancient times, a mysterious organization called the Sword Man on Credit." ”

"Knife man?"

Hao Minyuan and I exclaimed almost at the same time.

"What? Have you two ever heard of that name? ”

I glanced at Hao Minyuan, and he nodded at me.

"That's it, there was a strange murder in Jinan two days ago...... "I told the whole process of the disappearance of the body in the funeral home, and this time the old man who was originally smiling was not calm.

"What? And this kind of thing......"

"The two masters invited at that time mentioned the Yellow River Sword Man on credit, and the two of them guessed that the Western Warlock had something to do with the Yellow River Sword Man on Credit."

The old man sighed: "There has been no news of the Yellow River credit knife man for many years!" ”

I haven't heard anything about this, but Hao Minyuan on the side was thoughtful, and hurriedly asked the old man: "Uncle, what do you mean by this, have you known about the Yellow River credit knife man before?" ”

I never expected the old man to reply lightly: "I once saw a young Yellow River credit knife man back then!" ”

"Oh?" Hao Minyuan was even more energetic, and subconsciously took a few steps towards the old man.

"Thirty years ago, when I was secretly investigating the case, I asked a fisherman a hundred miles away who had fished a moving coffin in the Yellow River, and a living person crawled out of it."

"A living person? Corpse fraud! I asked casually.

I couldn't help but chime.

"It's not!" The old man waved his hand and motioned for me not to interrupt, "At that time, a friend and I rushed to his house, first found the coffin in the yard, and when we entered the house, we saw the so-called person crawling out of the coffin. ”

It was a swarthy young man.

The young man was expressionless, as if he had been seriously injured, and had been in the fisherman's house for more than half a month.

The fisherman was an old widower, very lazy, very greedy, and addicted to gambling, and the old man and his friends first wanted to ask this swarthy man how he was in the coffin, but the other party just looked at him coldly and did not say a word.

The old man's friend was more lively, and he saw that the man did not want to talk to them, so he secretly threw a hundred dollars at the fisherman, who had to bow his head.

At this time, the old man's friend asked him to tell him what had happened at that time.

The fisherman did not hesitate at all, saying that when he picked up the net to catch fish, the net hung on something heavy, and he was afraid of breaking the fishing net, so he took off his clothes and jumped into the water, and along the fishing net, he touched a rectangular object, which he thought was a big stone, and inadvertently broke it, who would have thought that the "big stone" actually floated.

He also hurried out of the water, only to see a large coffin floating on the water.

Wherever the fishermen had encountered such a thing, they thought that they would not need the nets, so they quickly climbed into the boat and left here.

He desperately climbed onto the boat and was about to leave, but still under the influence of curiosity, he couldn't help but turn around and glance.

At this glance, he saw the most terrifying scene in his life: the coffin floating on the surface of the water slowly opened, and a pair of hands stretched out from inside, followed by a dark human face......

It was the most dishonorable thing a fisherman had ever done in his life, and when he saw that there was a man in the coffin, and that man was still moving, he had the courage to row over the boat and pull the man out of the coffin.

After thinking about it, he hooked the coffin with a cable and pulled the coffin home.

This incident spread among the local people, but most of them did not believe it, because the fisherman's reputation was not very good, and they all said that he was drunk and nonsense.

Although the fisherman has many shortcomings, he is more righteous, and he has been raising the people in the coffin for half a month, although he has not eaten anything good, but he has not starved others.

Besides, 30 years ago, there were quite a lot of fish in the Yellow River, especially barracuda, which had extremely high nutritional value.

Hearing this, the old man and his friend basically understood what they meant, and without thinking much about it at the time, they went home.

Later, I heard that the fishermen had made a fortune, and as for the reason for the fortune, the old man and his friends thought it was unbelievable when they heard about it—they actually relied on buying lottery tickets.

In those two years, the lottery had just come from abroad, and there were not many people who recognized it, and he actually made tens of thousands of dollars from this.

A few years later, they heard the news of the fisherman again, and he actually became a small rich man within a radius of several hundred miles by gambling, with assets of more than one million, and was known as the God of Gambling in Hekou District. It seems that every gamble must win, and never misses.

It's been about ten years!

When the old man heard the fisherman's news again, he was destitute, and his legs had been broken from his knees.

The old man is also curious! Then he came to the fisherman's house again, and the fisherman at this time was unkempt, and when he saw the old man, he only said one sentence: people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, this is retribution, it is punishment!
