Chapter 180: Killing by Date

"This is the scene of the crime. 35xs" Liang Chen led them to a farmhouse, pushed the door in, and explained as he walked, "When I received the news, the official in charge of security had already moved the body, and the original scene had been damaged a lot, you see, can you find some more clues?" ”

The area is overgrown with weeds, and you can't see anything at all.

complained about the immortal Yuexiao and went online again, and said unceremoniously: "Are all your officials here pig brains?" The scene of the crime cannot be destroyed, don't understand this common sense? Is it here to handle the case or to cover for the murderer? ”

Liangchen was a little embarrassed and said, "I have already trained them, but the matter has come to this point, and it seems that I can't find any clues." ”

Yan Ruo was pulling in the grass nest, and when she saw the things left in the grass nest, her expression immediately became serious, and she called Ruobai and them over: "Come and see." ”

Pick out the handkerchief with a branch and spread it on the ground, and the blood on the handkerchief will be revealed.

"Look, doesn't that look like a word?" Yan Ruo gestured, "The blood stains are a little blurred, it should be those who were secretly left by the victims before they died, this word, like... ”

Yue Xiao took a closer look and said, "Isn't it a 'ghost'?" ”

"Don't say it, it's true." Yan Ruo nodded in agreement.

Suzaku got up and looked around the farmhouse, and guessed: "Those twenty people should not have been killed at the same time, maybe after the first person or the first few people were killed, the others heard the movement, and the killer simply killed them together in order not to expose himself, and one of them knew that he couldn't escape, so he left this word with blood, so as to give us a clue." It's just that what does the word 'ghost' mean? It can't really be sneaky and kill people, right? ”

If you say it, you can't help but look at Ruobai.

Ruobai said: "When ordinary people see terrible things that take people's lives, they can't say that they are made by gods, they can only be collectively called ghosts." ”

"So... Yan Ruo pondered, and said to Liang Chen, "You have already searched here, haven't you found this handkerchief?" ”

"This,,This is the official mission below to search.,I didn't supervise.。。。。 Liangchen is embarrassed, the people under his hands are becoming more and more unreliable!

"You send someone to search carefully, don't let go of any corner, maybe there will be any missing clues." Yan Ruo said, "Take us to see those corpses, I want to see if they were really sucked out of their souls and died." ”

Twenty corpses were neatly arranged in the morgue, and he led Yan Ruo and the others in, lifted the white cloth on one of the corpses, and said: "Look, there is not even a single wound on the corpse, let alone being poisoned and dying, and even the traces of struggle can't be seen. ”

Liang Chen waved him to stand down, then covered his mouth and nose and asked, "Do you want to invite the national teacher over?" ”

"No, Yuexiao come here, your spiritism comes in handy." Words shouted.

"Me?" Yue Xiao pointed at herself, rubbing over reluctantly, seeing that Yan Ruo's expression was serious, she had to wave her hands indiscriminately, making the appearance of a magic stick, and then quietly twisted a trick and used her spiritual power to probe these corpses.

As Liang Chen said, these people were all sucked away from their souls, three souls and seven souls, without exception.

"Sure enough, three souls and seven spirits, all of them." Yuexiao also became serious, and it was either the demon clan or the demon clan who could do this kind of thing madly.

"What do these people do? But what's the connection? "If you ask Liangchen.

The smell in the morgue was definitely not good, Liangchen pulled them out, and took a breath before saying: "These twenty people are all in a dart game, and they make a living by escorting carriages and materials on weekdays, and their personalities are all honest and duty-bound, according to the information from the investigation, they have not had any bad relations with outsiders, let alone any enemies, so there is no vendetta." ”

That's a bit tricky.

Yan Ruo is very distressed, now it's okay, the clue of the Soul Eater Cup has been lost, and now there is another murder in front of him, alas.

Ruobai saw her thoughts, leaned over and whispered in her ear: "Maybe this murder has something to do with the Soul Eater Cup, don't forget, the Soul Eater Cup can also absorb soul resentment." ”

That's right! If Yan Ruo's eyes lit up, maybe she could follow this murder case and investigate, even if the mastermind behind this scene was not the one who had the control of the Soul Eater Cup, it must have something to do with the Soul Eater Cup!

"Do you have any information about them?" Ruobai straightened up and asked.

"Yes, some are in my house, and we will go over now?" Liang Chen looked at Yan Ruo and asked.

So the group came from the morgue to the prince's mansion, and before they entered the door, a person who looked like a housekeeper rushed out of it and stopped Liangchen and Yanruo.

Behind the housekeeper were a dozen little maids, some holding braziers, some holding basins, and others holding clothes in their hands.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, you have just returned from a place like the morgue, and according to the rules, you have to cross the brazier to go to the bad luck. The clothes have been prepared for you, and the clothes of these young ladies and sons are also ready, so hurry up and change them. The housekeeper waved his hand, and the little maid holding the clothes immediately stepped forward, not only Liangchen wanted to take off his coat to put on a new coat, but even Yanruo and Ruobai had to change out.

After all, it is the rule of the people here, Yan Ruo and Ruobai glanced at each other, and changed their clothes very cooperatively, Yuexiao and Suzaku were very novel, they changed their clothes neatly, and waited for the housekeeper to call them across the brazier.

"Cross the brazier, go to bad luck, the demon is sneaky, and you can't get up!" The housekeeper sang as if he were a play, and while singing, he told them to cross the burning brazier one by one, and then threw their changed coats into the brazier, and came over with the basin, and sprinkled them with mugwort leaf water, and sang while sprinkling: "Artemisia leaf water, drive away ghosts, drive away evil spirits, and be healthy every year!" ”

Finally, he said: "Okay, okay, His Royal Highness the Prince, a few young ladies and young ladies, please come in." ”

Liang Chen led them into the gate and explained: "I, the old housekeeper, believe in this set the most, every time I come back from the morgue in the cell, I have to go through such a process, otherwise I am afraid that I will not even be allowed to enter the door." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, this rule is very novel and interesting." Yue Xiaoxing rushed to the road.

"If you don't have to bother." Liang Chen smiled slightly, led them into the study, pointed to the desk and said, "I have read all of them on the table, and I haven't found any connection." ”

Yan Ruo walked over, sat down on the chair unceremoniously, picked up a case file and read it.

Liangchen looked at the sky outside and said, "Why don't you have dinner here with me, you can't finish reading these cases for a while, and this case can't be solved in a day or two, so it's better for you to stay here, save trouble, and be safe." ”

Yuexiao is a wall grass, and when she heard this, she put her hand on Liangchen's shoulder and said with a smile: "You prince, you don't have a shelf." Since you sincerely invited, then we are welcome? ”

Liangchen couldn't ask for it, so that he could have more contact with Yan Ruo, seeing that Yuexiao agreed, Yan Ruo and the others had no opinion, and immediately went down to order the preparation of wine and food to prepare the room.

didn't forget to send someone to invite Liang Yan to bring Tianyou over, thinking that his Fourth Emperor Sister and Tianyou would be very happy to see Yanruo again.

Yan Ruo read three volumes in a row, and then picked up the fourth volume to read it, and couldn't help frowning. Ruobai, who was sitting next to her, was also holding the case file in his hand and frowning.

Yan Ruo said: "Ruobai, have you noticed that these people are all very close in birth." As he spoke, he picked up the first volume of the case, pointed to the eight characters of his birthday on it, and said, "Look, this person's birthday is on the first day of February," and changed to the second volume, which also pointed to the eight characters of the birth date on it, "This person's birthday is on the second of February, the third person is on the third of February, the fourth is the fourth, and others, all in order." ”

Ruobai also spread out the case file in his hand and said, "Indeed, the last person is the twentieth of February. ”

Suzaku and Yue Xiao both listened with their ears on the side, and Yue Xiao was surprised: "Killing people has to be sorted by date, this killer is really exquisite." ”

Yan Ruo glanced at him and continued: "And these twenty people, impartially, happen to be people in the dart game, is this a coincidence or the killer did it on purpose?" ”

"I guess it was on purpose." Yuexiao interjected, "Where can coincidences be so coincidental, besides, all coincidences are artificial, and the killer must have done it on purpose." ”

Yan Ruo agreed: "And the most coincidental thing is that these twenty people are the same age, and they were all born in the same year and month, but the days are before and after, and they are each one day apart. ”

Suzaku counted the days and said in surprise: "In February of the year they were born, but it was only twenty-eight days, and now the killer has killed the person born on the twentieth, will the remaining eight people also be poisoned?" ”

"It's quite possible." Yan Ruo nodded, "Maybe we can find out those eight people, clearly protecting them in the dark, if the killer appears again, we can wipe them all out." ”

If it was really a ghost who committed the crime, she really wouldn't believe it. Because except for those lonely souls and wild ghosts who can't enter reincarnation, the others are under the jurisdiction of the prefecture, and the prefecture is strictly regulated and guarded, and there is definitely no little ghost who dares to escape without permission. Even those lonely souls and wild ghosts should always leave some traces after killing so many people in one go, and the three souls and seven spirits of the living are not so easy to suck.

The six worlds of gods, immortals, demons, demons, humans, and ghosts, the human world and the ghost world have always liked to be alone, and never took the initiative to participate in any battles. And the two worlds of demons and demons are the same raccoon dog, and the two worlds of gods and immortals are opposed.

If there are some kind-hearted immortal cultivators, they will definitely not do such a crazy thing, then the only ones who can be called ghosts by humans are demons. Of course, it is not excluded that there are immortals who have fallen into the devil's path, or mortals who use artifacts to do evil.

After all, one of the functions of the Soul Eater is to be able to absorb the power of resentful ghosts or living people or even immortals, and make those who possess it more powerful...
