After Lao Qin and I finished eating, we went directly to his office, and he picked up the walkie-talkie and said a word.

Not long after, a young policeman appeared at his door.

"Xiao Li, you send these two migrant comrades to the airport, and then tell the airport to take the green channel." The officer smiled and instructed.

"Understood! I promise to complete the task. The young policeman named Xiao Li immediately saluted.

"Thank you, good brother! When we get back from there, I'll treat you to a drink. Lao Qin patted me on the shoulder and signaled that I was ready to go.

There was an old commercial car with closed windows parked in the courtyard of the criminal police team, and the little policeman ran to his dormitory as fast as he could, changed into a set of civilian clothes, and then let us get into the car.

The car drove slowly towards the airport, and on the way, I asked Lao Qin curiously: "Uncle Qin, that police officer just now seems to be very familiar with you!" ”

"Yes! In fact, logically speaking, we are all a family, they are public security, and we are national security. But I did know him for several years. Lao Qin leaned his head back on the seat and said to me.

"Actually, there are many things in this world that can't be explained by science. Sometimes their criminal police team handles some particularly difficult cases, and they will also ask us to come and help. The more times you go, the more familiar you will be. Lao Qin smiled.

"And how did you two meet? Anyway, the journey is boring, just tell me, there are no outsiders here. "Lao Qin's words aroused my curiosity.

"Alright! Then tell me about it, kid. When I met this officer, it was because of a homicide. Lao Qin glanced at me.

"Murder? Is there anything special about that murder? I looked at Lao Qin puzzled.

"Yes, because it is not an ordinary homicide, and the murderer is not an ordinary person. There was no way to solve the case with their methods, so they had to report to the provincial department, and the provincial department transferred me from Beijing. Lao Qin took out a cigarette and lit it and handed me another one.

"The murderer you are talking about is not an ordinary person, so is he a human being? Since he is human, how can he not solve the case? What's more, the police now have guns in their hands. I said with a frown.

"Do you know about puppetry?" Lao Qin suddenly looked at me seriously.

"Puppetry? When I was in Tainan before, I encountered a puppet walking corpse that was controlled by the Southern Xinjiang Needle Corpse Technique. Could it be that the murderer in this case is also a puppet walking corpse?" As soon as I heard Lao Qin talk about puppetry, I immediately thought of the group of walking corpses I encountered when I broke into the ghost village with Old Man Xiao and Jiang Yimeng.

"Those are just ordinary walking corpses, not real people, not to mention that they are still controlled by the Soul Vent Needle. If there were no soul draining needles, they would be ordinary corpses. "Old Qin gave me a blank look.

"And what ...... is this puppet technique you are talking about?" I was suddenly like a second monk who was confused.

"Yin and Yang puppetry, have you heard of it? Brat! The word Yin Yang Puppet Technique suddenly popped out of Lao Qin's mouth.

"It seems that I am unheard of, and I have really never heard of this evil art. However, it has the word yin and yang in it, could it be that it is related to the yin and yang family in the pre-Qin period? "I haven't heard of the Yin Yang Puppet Technique, but there are two words Yin and Yang in it, and I immediately associate him with a sect that specialized in Yin and Yang Evil Arts in the pre-Qin period.

"That's right, this Yin-Yang puppet technique is exactly the evil art practiced by the disciple of the Yin-Yang family you said, it can not only control humans, but also some insects and animals, and even flowers and trees. In other words, as long as it is under the control of the Yin and Yang Puppet Technique, anything can be turned into a sharp weapon for killing. Lao Qin threw the unfinished half of the cigarette butt out of the car window.

"I really don't understand this, you better tell me about the murder." I looked at Lao Qin with pleading eyes.

"The deceased in that murder was killed by a puppet controlled by the Yin Yang Puppet Technique, and even their bodies were dismantled into several pieces, and the scene was really miserable." Lao Qin took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and lit it, and then began to tell me the whole story of the murder.

"I remember one day a few years ago, I happened to be at home on vacation. Then I received a call from my superiors, then I will come to Hengyang, Hunan. I couldn't help it, so I hurried over non-stop.

I was picked up at the airport by the same officer you had met earlier, and I asked him what was going on. He said to me mysteriously. He didn't know much about it, so I went to the scene of the murder myself.

When I arrived at the scene, my stomach immediately turned upside down. To be honest, I've seen too many bloody and horrific images. But I've never seen such a bloody and horrific picture. ”

"What kind of picture can make an old man like you unbearable?" I looked at Lao Qin curiously, but I kept thinking about it in my heart.

Lao Qin frowned and said, "The deceased is a family of three, and their bodies were all chopped up to almost shreds, and blood was splashed all over the walls and ceilings. Because it had been several days since the crime, and the temperature outside was very high, there were already a lot of maggots on the corpses, and there were flies flying around the house. Don't talk about that smell, I don't want to smell it again in my life. I never forget the sour taste. Speaking of this, Lao Qin covered his mouth and wanted to vomit.

I hurriedly took out a bottle of water from my backpack and handed it to him: "Let's drink saliva first." ”

Lao Qin nodded, then took the water and took a big sip. I love

"Because after the case, their houses have been sealed off, and the forensic doctor has been searching inside for a long time, but he can't find any clues that will help solve the case. Later, after the fragments of the body were removed from the house, I went in to investigate slowly.

Strange to say, the house belonged to a family of three, but we couldn't find any trace of a fourth person in it.

However, there were two small scarecrows scattered on the balcony, and the scarecrows' hands were soaked in blood. Strangely, the two scarecrows still had traces painted with cinnabar. I knew right away that something was wrong with these two little scarecrows.

At the same time, the forensic doctor also sent a message that the deceased was torn apart alive by the giant beast, but they didn't even have cats and dogs at home, where did the giant beast come from? Besides, there was no trace of anything in the house, and if there were giant beasts, there would always be paw prints and hair, right? And they live in high-rise buildings in the city, how did the beasts enter their house and commit murder?

I suddenly remembered the marks on the two little scarecrows that had been painted with cinnabar, and brought them from the evidence room back to my makeshift office.

The cinnabar marks on them resemble an ancient and mysterious spell, but I have never been able to figure out what the scarecrow is.

Until one day, I saw a couple of little kids playing with a couple of puppets with a string. It immediately occurred to me that this was an evil art that originated from the Yin and Yang family in the pre-Qin period - Yin and Yang puppetry.

A person who uses the Yin-Yang Puppet Technique first uses cinnabar to draw a spell on the thing to be controlled, and then forcibly instills his consciousness into the thing being controlled.

In this way, he can easily control those things that are controlled, but the sect of the Yin-Yang Family has been annihilated for thousands of years, and the evil arts of the Yin-Yang Family have rarely been handed down to the present. Besides, the Yin-Yang Puppet Technique was originally a forbidden technique of the Yin-Yang Family, and ordinary disciples were strictly forbidden to practice.

Also, the puppeteer who controls the puppet must not be too far away from the puppet.

I immediately took a few detectives to a nearby house and began to search door to door, and later found clues in an empty house.

When we went to the empty house to investigate, we found two piles of unburned ashes on the ground, and several fast food boxes on the ground.

Later, according to the building's surveillance, a diminutive man had appeared at the scene of the crime and in the empty house the day before the crime, because he was wearing a black cloak when he appeared, and we could not see his face clearly.

But I know that he used the Yin-Yang Puppet Technique, and he must be seriously injured by his vitality now, and he won't run far. But where do we go to find him in the vast sea of people?

I suddenly remembered that the two scarecrows were still in my office, so I hurried back to the office. The two scarecrows were nailed with coffin nails dipped in black dog blood, and then burned them with willow branches.

As long as those two scarecrows are gone, it is equivalent to breaking his Yin-Yang Puppetry, and if he wants to use Yin-Yang Puppetry again, then he can only find other things that can be manipulated.

But if he breaks his Yin Yang Puppet Technique, the puppeteers who control the puppets will also be counterattacked, at least they will all be seriously injured.

I knew he was injured and couldn't run. So he led people and began to search around. He was eventually found in a hotel, but by the time he was found he had vomited blood and was unconscious.

Later, when interrogating him, he also confessed the grievances and grievances of the family of three with him.

I'm not interested in any of that, though, I'm interested in where did he learn his Yin Yang Puppetry? Has anyone else learned it too?

The old man finally confessed everything, and the yin-yang puppet technique he had learned from an ancient book that had been completely destroyed by a fire many years ago.

Later, the old man showed us how to control the puppet on the spot. I saw him use scissors to cut out two villains on a piece of paper, and after he quickly recited a spell in his mouth, the two paper figures instantly turned into a paper figure more than two meters high, but soon the two paper figures turned back into paper figures. According to the old man, it was just the most common manipulation. No cinnabar, no charms. You can control it as long as you have a spell, but it only lasts for a few minutes.

The cause of the fire was caused by the deceased's family, and the old man's wife was also killed in the fire.

I didn't expect that the old man would actually use the yin and yang puppet technique he learned in the ancient book to manipulate the scarecrow to harm people, but killing people still has to pay for his life.

The old man was executed a few days later, and his body was taken to the funeral home for cremation that same day.

Because no one knew exactly how many kinds of magic he had practiced in that ancient book, he had to do it just to be on the safe side.

However, compared to his use of the Yin-Yang Puppet Technique to manipulate the scarecrow to kill people, we haven't done too much. And that officer was running around with me a lot, so we knew each other from that time on, and every time they had something they couldn't handle, they would ask me to come over and help. ”

After saying this, Lao Qin looked out of the car window in a daze, smoking.

In fact, we are the same as the puppets controlled by the Yin and Yang puppetry, except that we are puppets manipulated by fate.
