On the way to the funeral home, I called Hu Conglin again.

On the phone, I learned that a total of four bodies had now been recovered. One body was still not found.

I asked Hu Conglin to look at the forearms of the other two bodies that we had recovered after we left. As I expected, the two newly recovered corpses also had bulging flesh on their forearms. The pattern of the flesh and skin also looks like a doll.

I had expected this to be the case, but when it was confirmed, I was shocked.

The bodies of the five people who threw themselves into the river together have now been recovered. Above the forearms of these four people. All have doll motifs. The fifth person basically didn't need to look at it, and he should have the same pattern on his forearm.

I told Zhong Linlin what I learned on the phone.

She just nodded and didn't say anything. Presumably, this situation was also expected by her.

When she and I rushed to the funeral home. Because it is Captain Liu who is on duty here. I've met him at Daddy Wang's house before, so he knows me and knows what I do.

Under the leadership of Captain Liu, we met the relatives of the three elderly people who died.

I have seen the relatives of Daddy Wang's family, so I directly took out the pair of porcelain dolls and asked the people of the other two families, "Have you ever had such a thing in your family?" ”

The two families looked at the porcelain doll in my hand. They all shook their heads.

But when Daddy Wang's son saw it, he immediately said, "I've seen it!" I have exactly the same one in my house! ”

I glanced at him and said, "This is from your house!" I asked the two of them if they had ever seen anything like this. ”

"Oh!" Daddy Wang's son replied with a sneer.

At this time, a woman of thirty-seven or eighteen pointed to the porcelain doll in my hand and said, "That...... I don't have anything like this in my house, but I've seen this doll look like before! ”

Hearing her words, I hurriedly walked over and asked her, "Are you sure you've ever seen a doll like this?" Where did you see it, and what kind of material did you make it? ”

"I ......" the woman looked a little nervous in the face of my questioning.

"It's okay, think about it!" Seeing that she was so nervous, I quickly controlled my emotions and asked her.

When the woman heard this, she hesitated for a moment and then said to me, "We have a painting at home, and it seems to be such a doll!" ”

"Paintings?" My heart sank.

"That's right! That painting was picked up by our old man from the antique street, and he seems to like it! When he brought it back, I saw it. The woman said.

"Where's the painting?" I hurriedly asked.

"At home! The old man put it in his study! The woman said.

As soon as he finished speaking, another man came over: "When you say that, I seem to have seen something like this. ”

Hear him. I quickly turned to him and asked, "What's your family?" Is it also a painting? ”

"No, it's not a painting, it's a pair of pillows. In my daughter's room, it looks like she bought it back! The man said.

"Are you sure it's like this?" I asked.

"I ...... It seems like yes! I didn't pay much attention to it, but it looks like it! The man said.

Porcelain dolls, dolls on paintings, dolls on pillows, dolls on corpse arms......

It's all dolls!

As long as there is a problem, everyone seems to have seen such a doll.

"Let's go! Take one of you and follow us back. Take us to pick up something that you have this doll in your house. I said.

They discussed it for a while, and then sent someone to take us home.

Tossing and turning, we quickly got a picture of a doll, a pair of pillows with a doll pattern. Plus the porcelain doll we took from Daddy Wang. We already have three of them.

In contrast, we found that the appearance of the doll is the same whether it is painted or on the pillow.

This situation has sent chills through my heart. Zhong Linlin and I contacted Uncle Zhang's family again, and then we went to Uncle Zhang's house.

I rummaged through their house for a long time, but they couldn't find the doll's pattern. Just when we were about to give up looking. I inadvertently flipped through the desk calendar on Uncle Zhang's desk. Then I was shocked to find that on the first page of this desk calendar, the printed doll was actually the same as everything else.

Coming out of Uncle Zhang's house, Zhong Linlin and I sat in the car, and for a while, we didn't know what to do.

Looking at this pile of dolls in our hands. I'm really at a loss. I've never been in a situation like this.

So far, we have found no other clues related to this incident other than this pile of dolls.

The key is that this pile of dolls, whether it is me or Zhong Linlin, has not found any problems in it.

We now have a problem finding these dolls, but we can't find the problem. It made both of us a little emotionally depressed.

"What now? If we don't find the right person behind this, I'm afraid that people will continue to die because of it! Zhong Linlin asked me.

I let out a long sigh and could only smile wryly.

To tell you the truth, I've been starting the hexagram ever since. There were a lot of tricky problems before and after, but they were all dealt with.

And this time, we couldn't even find out who our opponent was. I felt very incompetent, and I even felt frustrated.

"Why don't we go to the riverside again?" Zhong Linlin seemed to see that my mood was not right. She said to me.

"It's useless to go! There are only a few lonely ghosts by the river. There should be a monster behind this incident. I said.

"That'...... Let's go to the funeral home again!? Zhong Linlin was also helpless about this matter, and she didn't know where to start now.

"Hey...... I have examined the bodies of Daddy Wang, and I have found nothing at all except that their souls have been taken away. I let out a long sigh.

"So what do you say?" Zhong Linlin's face sank.

Actually, I'd love to say that I don't know.

But I can't say that! Before we arrived, things weren't that bad here. But when we arrived, the situation became serious.

"Wait until I think about it!" I leaned back in the saddle and closed my eyes.

Zhong Linlin didn't bother me either, waiting for me to close my eyes and think.

The weirdest thing about this incident is that I don't know what is behind it. What can now be confirmed is that that thing can drive the evil energy.

Moreover, the souls of all those who are harmed by its evil aura are taken away.

What does it want so many souls for?

Practice?

Engulf?

Or is there another use?

Why did we meet a couple of old people for the first time last night. Killed this morning?

The people who died before were all young and strong men, and they all died by throwing themselves into the river. There has never been a case of being directly killed by the Yin Qi. Moreover, this is the first time that an elderly person has been killed.

If we start from this clue, then the old man we haven't looked for until now is a major suspicion.

If that mysterious old man is really the one behind this incident, then why did he pay Uncle Zhang back to them? Is it because he is afraid that Uncle Zhang will expose his identity?

But now Uncle Zhang, the only one who was rescued by me, also lost his soul and was in a coma in the hospital.

What to do?

What should I do now?

Where to start? What about finding that damn bastard?

Hospital!

By the way, more than a dozen people who went over to the river last night are still in the hospital.

These people are different from the previous ones, they were stopped by me and Zhong Linlin, and they dissolved the evil aura on their bodies at that time.

Perhaps we can learn some information from the mouths of these people.

Thinking of this, I immediately sat up from my seat.

"Have you figured it out?" Zhong Linlin hurriedly asked me.

"Let's go to the hospital now, go talk to the people we saved last night! Let's see if we can get some clues from them! I said to Zhong Linlin.

When Zhong Linlin heard this, she only frowned slightly.

Seeing it, she didn't think my method was of any use. But she didn't object, nodded to me and said, "Okay!" Let's go! ”

I let out a long breath and prayed to myself that I would find some direct clues that would be useful.
