Chapter 32: Antique Tarot Cards

Until the next day, Sunday, Saturday's statistics came out, and the serial murderer had caused 19 deaths, and the police still hadn't been able to find the murderer.

Because they knew that the murderer went straight to Xiacheng, and all the intersections leading to Xiacheng would be checked by cards, so although the police said that the murderer was surrounded in the Changhu Provincial Park before, the entire Xiacheng urban area was still panicked.

Yi Annie had a good night's sleep, got up and took Lulu to the backyard for a spin, filled up a few bird feeders, and Wang Yuxin also got up when she returned to the room.

The glass sliding door of the balcony was wide open for ventilation, but the house cat didn't dare to take a single step.

Originally, Yi Annie and Wang Yuxin still had plans to go out of the city to bask in the sun and blow the sea breeze today, but they were disturbed by this murderer, and heard that all the roads out of the city were lined up, and the two felt that it was better to stay at home.

Wang Yuxin counted the supplies at home: "Actually, it's no problem for the two of us not to go out for a week. ”

Yi Annie was unhappy: "It's okay if you don't go out for a week, I still have to go to work tomorrow......"

Thinking about it, she hadn't started writing yet. It's completely impossible to work overtime on weekends, and the manuscript can only be written on Mondays.

Since it's okay on this day, let's go take care of the yard, Yi Annie stood on the balcony and made a decision with Wang Yuxin.

Pruning branches, pulling weeds, sprinkling grass seeds, and laying new soil, the yard is simply cruel in spring. Wang Yuxin is better at indoor work, such as sowing seeds and raising seedlings, so the outdoor ones are all handed over to Yi Annie.

In fact, when Wang Yuxin got up and finished cooking breakfast slowly, the two watched the variety show on the balcony and finished eating with birdsong, and then drank tea and chatted, and it was gone for most of the day.

Anne wore headphones to the yard to rake the fallen leaves left before the winter into a pile to reveal the soil underneath, and then sprinkled some grass seeds, which was about the rest of the day's work within her reach.

On the balcony, Wang Yuxin buried some of the flower seeds and rapeseed they had bought into a pot and a seedling tray respectively, and then it was time to start preparing dinner and making some videos of her food bloggers.

Under the sun, the small courtyard was full of life, and Anne glanced at the half-open window of the laundry room for no apparent reason, completely unable to understand where the creepy feeling of that day came from.

After putting away her tools, Anne went back to her room with a sore back and took a shower, only to find Lulu and Moon and a half on the balcony when she came out.

"Yo, Yue Ban is very bold today, and I dare to go to the balcony." Yi Annie sighed, usually if this house cat is forcibly dragged outside, usually squatting and not daring to move.

Wang Yuxin took the time to come out of her dough business and smiled: "That's because the temptation in the backyard is a bit big today." ”

Annenie's face darkened as she heard the birdsong in the backyard: "My grass seeds——! ”

Rushing to the balcony in pajamas to look down, and sure enough, the yard was full of birds pecking on the ground. In addition to the blue raven and robin families who live nearby, a flock of sparrows and a few pigeons also come.

The neighbor Mrs. Wendy also poked her head out from the balcony to look at the birds, and when she saw that Yi Annie looked angry, she shrugged: "I will help you pray that those birds will leave a little grass seed for your family." ”

Anne was in her pajamas, and she didn't bother to go out to chase the birds away, so she had to let the birds pull at the grass seeds on the ground.

The next day, it was another Monday that no one wanted to see.

Anne Yi got up to brush up on yesterday's nightly news, and the police still couldn't find the culprit, and the number of victims increased to 22. One of them is a victim within the Xia City area, the owner of a local tabloid "Xia Cheng Experience", who is considered a colleague of Yi Annie...... bar.

Sure enough, when I arrived at the office area of the editorial department, everyone was discussing the serial murderer, the identity of the murderer had been determined, but there was no news about the motive for the crime.

"Have you heard? That murderer is actually a rich man, millions of assets! ”

"Wow! So rich and killing, it's really suitable for a perverted setting! But think about it, how to buy police uniforms and fake police cars if you don't have money. ”

"Now it seems that this man killed people randomly."

"The police have not found any connection between the victims for the time being, but the specific ones still need to be investigated."

"The construction site over there in Changhu Provincial Park has also stopped, that person spent so much money to buy the land in Changhu and did so many advertisements, and now he is probably going to cry to death."

At this time, the staff of the editorial department already knew that the owner of the Friday dinner was the person who bought the land in Changhu Park, and thought that if that person went bankrupt, they would never have the opportunity to eat such a high-end meal again.

"yes, yes, that murderer has been hiding in the construction site for three days, can the house there still sell?"

"It's good that the murderer has found it, but if you can't find it, it's terrible!"

"The "Summer City Experience" is completely messed up, that tabloid is wholly owned by the boss, and now that the boss is dead, their tabloid company is probably going to hang up."

"Dead peers are relatively beneficial to our news center, but the boss is really miserable.

Yi Annie listened to the chat of her colleagues while rushing to the manuscript of the secret version, and could easily use the news she heard to do some searching.

"Huh? This car looks familiar. After a little search, Anne found information about the owner of the tabloid "Summer City Experience", and the photo showed him stepping out of a dark blue car.

"The owner of "Summer City Experience" looks very poor!" Victor judged by looking at the picture on Anne's computer screen.

"Uh......" As soon as Anne looked up, she saw Victor standing at his workstation looking at Anne's computer screen, too tall to see the partition of the workstation as if it were nothing.

Then Anne remembered where she had seen the car!

"Ah, I saw this car on my way back to town after the funeral on Saturday! My friend who was sitting in my car also said he saw a lot of blood on the car. ”

"Wow! Annie, did you witness the murder scene? ”

Yi Annie shook her head again and again: "I didn't see it from that angle, but my friend in the same car said it was terrible." ”

Victor sighed: "Annie, you, as a staff member of the press center, are also too insensitive. At that time, if it were me, I would have rushed up to take a few pictures first! And you're a mysterious version, you should be interested in this kind of murder. ”

Yi Annie waved her hand again and again: "I won't do it, this is too terrible!" And the homicide should be in the news section, right? ”

"No, no, no," Betty shook her head, "It's the news version after the case is solved, and before that, it should be considered a mysterious version of ......."

Yi Annie's face turned pale: ", don't disturb my manuscript of writing last week's incident, if I don't finish it today, Charlie will probably kill me first!" ”

Soon, Monday passed with such rumors, and Anne sent Catherine to check the manuscript of the reversal.

“…… For three months, Noah dreamed that his mother was calling him......"

“…… There were all sorts of hauntings going on in the house, and every morning when I woke up, I was splashed with a strong fishy red liquid all over the house......"

“…… Police investigation found that...... The medical staff involved in the matter confirmed ......"

“…… Noah's family loved canoeing, but on the day of the tide, they were washed into the cave by the tide without even noticing, as if it was fate......"

“…… The banshees in the cave have the appearance of Noah's mother, leading them to get lost in the depths of the cave......"

Catherine nodded: "It's pretty well written, it really captures the essence of weird stories, it seems that you still like ghost stories in the East." ”

"Wow! Can you see this? Yi Annie's eyes were shining, as if she had met a bosom friend.

Catherine continued to nod: "It's still quite obvious, because Western-style horror stories still prefer to tell logic, and this one you wrote basically has no logic in it." ”

Yi Annie's face suddenly fell: "It's too difficult to write the truth of the matter!" So I just wrote this thing as fantastical and let people read it as a story. ”

"So, do you want a tarot divination?" Catherine pulled out a stack of tarot cards from her desk, "I picked it up from the thrift market over the weekend, and I can see that there is a real spiritual brilliance on it." ”

Anne looked at the tarot cards in Catherine's hand, which were about the same width as her phone, but longer, and the paper looked much thicker than ordinary playing cards. The deck is obviously old, with some yellowish surfaces and some mold-like spots. The pattern on the tarot card is very retro, with small notches in the pattern, and the printing color is blue, blue, orange, and yellow, with obvious traces of engraving printing. Anne Yi had played in the printing club of the University of the Arts for a while, and looking at the paper and printing, she could conclude that this set of tarot cards could be regarded as an antique.

But ...... "What's going on?" Anne was alert.

Catherine said: "We can use the method of divination to see the effect of your article, if the effect is good, I will forget it on my side." If the divination doesn't work well, you may have to rewrite it. ”

Yi Annie vomited three liters of blood, is this considered workplace bullying?

"Heh, Catherine, are you going to divinate Anne again?" Betty stepped in.

Yi Annie thought that her savior was coming, but she didn't think about Betty and said, "Try divination, I also want to see the effect." By the way, you can see if the murderer will be caught! ”

Catherine smiled suspiciously: "These are two different things, I want to separate divination." ”

Betty thought for a moment: "Then it's better to do this, divination about whether the mysterious version of Wednesday's article will affect the arrest of the murderer." ”

Catherine nodded and began to shuffle the cards.

Yi Annie was stunned by this operation: "This is okay?" ”

Catherine said: "Since the problem is a little complicated, let's use a relatively comprehensive three-card divination." The three-card divination method is a general-purpose divination card array, which is suitable for comprehensive analysis and single analysis. It's a versatile card that can be used in all situations and can be very useful for beginners. ”
