Chapter Ninety-Three: The Puppet Talisman

This is a middle-aged man, obviously looking old, his cheeks are sunken, his eye sockets are deep, and his eyes are not shining, but there is a frustration coming from the inside out, which makes people frown.

I looked at it over and over again, reached out and shook it in front of him.

"Boss, how much is the mineral water?" I opened my mouth to ask the price, but the boss still didn't say anything, just stood in place, as if he didn't hear what I said.

It wasn't until I repeated my question again that I slowly raised my head, tilted my head, stared at me with those empty eyes for a long time, and stretched out two fingers.

"Two pieces, huh?" I unconsciously took a step back and rummaged through my wallet in a bit of a panic.

Strange, I clearly remember that after eating hot pot yesterday, the store found me two pieces of steel jump, where was I thrown?

Just as I was looking for a coin, I heard a clear "click" sound, and when I looked up, my whole frightened heart almost didn't reach my throat.

The boss looked like he had no bones, his head tilted to the side, next to his left shoulder, his eyes still staring at me.

It's just that the current situation looks a little scary, and it also makes me realize that something is wrong in an instant.

Without hesitation, he pulled the boss's shoulder, and didn't care about another sound: "Click", only to see a yellowed piece of straw paper pasted behind the boss.

There is a talisman scribbled on the papyrus, a puppet talisman!

My body stiffened, and I instantly realized something that might have exceeded Xu Youqiang's expectations.

Not to mention the culprit of the murder case, this talisman alone is not something that anyone can draw.

We all know that Taoist priests need to use cinnabar and yellow talismans to draw, if you want to pursue good efficiency, the rune paper also needs to carry out a series of cumbersome operations such as opening the light, in order to achieve the best effect.

However, the person who drew this puppet suit just grabbed a piece of straw paper casually, and there were traces of children's arithmetic on the back, which was very sloppy, and it was obvious that it was a casual hook, but the efficiency could be maintained for so long.

Based on the shriveled body of the shopkeeper, I am afraid that the boss has been dead for a long time.

I ripped off the talisman paper, and the shopkeeper threw himself directly to the ground, probably dead for too long, the water in his body evaporated, and the bones became very light, and when he fell, he didn't make any sound, and even the dust on the floor didn't splash much.

I stared at the boss's corpse for a long time, put the water back on the counter, and even stumbled a little, and when I walked to the curtain, I repeatedly did psychological construction for myself before I opened the door curtain.

The moment the curtain was opened, a heavy dust instantly hit my face, and I couldn't hold back, coughing several times before waving my hand to disperse the dust.

Of course, I certainly can't expect the dead man to remember to open the window to ventilate, so I can only cover my mouth and nose and step into the small room where the shopkeeper is resting in the back.

As soon as I entered, I saw two people lying on a clay kang, tightly wrapped in a quilt, and the shape should be one big and one small.

"Are you two still awake?" As soon as I asked, I laughed self-deprecatingly, the shopkeepers were all dead, and it might not be a living person lying here.

I kept reciting the mantra in my heart, holding a piece of talisman paper in my hand, pinching the corner of the quilt, and lifting it with a sigh of anger.

As I thought, lying on the kang is indeed a big and a small, depending on the age, it should be a pair of grandchildren.

It's just that the faces of the two grandparents are seriously aged, they are all staring, their mouths are slightly open, their dry skin is tightly attached to the bones, and they are similar to the shopkeepers.

The only difference is that they don't have puppet suits attached to them.

This is strange, I looked at the two corpses, and I was a little puzzled.

Why are these three people, only the shopkeeper is put on a puppet suit, which has nothing for the grandchildren, but is placed here?

Also, who are the people who do these things? Is it related to the murderer of the murder case?

I put my hand on the old lady's heavenly spirit cover, stretched out my hand to feel it for a while, and then I was sure of one thing.

The cause of their death is because the vitality in their bodies is absorbed, and their souls should be dispersed for the first two times, but I don't know if any ghosts are willing to take them.

This realization makes me feel a little uncomfortable in my heart, the murder case has not been solved yet, and I met this again, I'm afraid we will be busy next.

I found three corpses at once, of course I couldn't hide it, so I turned my head and called Xu Youqiang and asked him to tell Jiao Yanyan.

Soon, Jiao Yanyan brought people to rush over, when I saw Jiao Yanyan, I didn't have time to drink a sip of mineral water in my hand, and as soon as the bottle cap was unscrewed, I saw Jiao Yanyan with a cold face and strode in front of me.

With a "click", I had another pair of silver bracelets on my wrists.

"Jiao Yanyan, is there something wrong with you?"

Xu Youqiang suddenly became angry, and when he came up, he grabbed Jiao Yanyan and didn't let go.

I don't know if the two of them are born incompatible, and they can't get used to each other, but whenever they meet, they will pinch each other.

"My brother reported the crime, why are you detaining him? It's unreasonable! ”

"I think the murderer is him!" Jiao Yanyan held her head high, refusing to admit defeat, "It's really interesting to say, I met a few of you at the scene of the last homicide last night, and now he appears at the scene of the crime again, you dare to say that this matter has nothing to do with you at all?" ”

I was a little tired from listening, and I could only look at the sky speechlessly, not knowing how to explain.

I don't even believe it myself, the first time it was a coincidence, and the second time was too, and I'm really afraid that because of my curiosity, I will discover something.

Xu Youqiang and Jiao Yanyan were arguing here, the two of them rolled up their sleeves and stared, and the patrols and Yuzhen around were persuading, one by one.

Who knew that the two of them turned their heads and roared sharply: "Who is his or her own person?" ”

As they spoke, the two of them gave each other a blank look.

Seeing that the stop was ineffective, Yuzhen could only look at me for help, and I shook the handcuffs on my hand at him to prove that I couldn't help.

Yuzhen is really a little pitiful, originally wanted to come out to meet the two of us in the world, but since last night, he has been in an embarrassing situation.

Fortunately, Yuzhen is not a complete stupid Bai Tian, seeing that both sides can't make sense, and he doesn't waste time, he turned his head to look at the corpse, and after a while, he ran over again.

"Then, there are no maggots and corpse stench on that corpse, it shouldn't be my Brother Li's doing."

I looked at this stupid boy, and suddenly I was a little speechless, what should I be? It's not like I'm doing a good job or not!

Jiao Yanyan seemed to have caught some evidence, and sneered: "Did you hear that?" Your people have said that there is no corpse smell and maggots, so it must have been committed in a short period of time! ”

"Then tell me what my brother used to commit the crime?" Xu Youqiang was sharp-tongued and didn't back down at all, "If you can't say it, don't do your patrol, where did you come from?" ”

"Tell me again!"

"Okay, you two stop arguing, I know why!" I took a deep breath, getting tired.
