Chapter 42: Three Preparations
Listening to Tang Jiang's words, almost everyone was stunned.
Tang Jiang continued: "Thirteen is a pure yin number. Therefore, the little boy must be thirteen years old this year, and on the day he died, he was exactly thirteen years and thirteen days old, and the number of people must also be thirteen, not one. The date of birth of these thirteen little boys must not be wrong, as long as one of them has one more day, or one less day, the Taiyin Formation Refining Technique will fail, and the person who casts the spell will really die. Therefore, the person who casts the spell will definitely verify it many times before to ensure that there will be no mistakes. ”
"Thirteen...... The lives of thirteen little children! Gundam said through gritted teeth, his fists clenched tightly and trembling uncontrollably.
Tang Jiang continued: "Yes, it is thirteen children, and the spell caster is to exchange thirteen human lives for him a chance to be reborn, and his methods are so cruel. ”
Zhang Zhengyi suddenly jumped up and shouted, "Then what are we waiting for?" Does it really have to wait for him to kill thirteen people? He must be arrested and shot immediately to prevent the same crime from happening again! Ahh ”
As he spoke, he slammed two punches in the air, as if the evil-doered spellcaster was right in front of him.
Li Changdeng also stood up, slapped Zhang Zhengyi on the back of the head, and said angrily: "Who doesn't know to arrest him?" Who doesn't know to stop the same crime from happening again? But do you know who the caster is? Do you know where to catch him? ”
"I ......" Zhang Zhengyi was dumbfounded, speechless, and said for a long time: "How do I know who he is?" How do you know where to catch him? ”
Li Changdeng said: "Isn't this the end? So we'll have to discuss it. Do you think you're the only one in a hurry? Who here is not in a hurry? ”
Zhang Zhengyi thought for a long time, and finally said: "In this way, let's let the brothers immediately check tomorrow and find out all the thirteen-year-old boys in the vicinity, especially the kind that has turned thirteen days today." Let's gather all these little boys together, no matter who that guy is, let him rob him if he has the ability! Lao Tzu doesn't believe it, there are so many of us, so many guns, he can still run away when he comes, unless he really becomes a fairy and can fly! ”
This time, even Gundam raised his hand, making a gesture to give Zhang Zhengyi a slap.
Zhang Zhengyi slid to the side and said aggrievedly: "What's wrong?" Am I wrong? ”
Gouda said angrily, "You're right, but do you know how many thirteen-year-old boys there are in the whole city?" There are not a thousand but eight hundred, how can we find them all together in such a short period of time? Even if it is ten days and half a month, it may not be possible! Do you think it's still like the town you used to be in? I said you're a pig's brain! ”
Zhang Zhengyi was stunned for a moment, and said in a snort: "That...... Then we'll go to these little boys' houses and set up an ambush......"
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Zhengyi also knew that his method would not work, so he had to interrupt and stop talking.
I thought about it for a while and said, "Zhang Zhengyi said that it is also a way, otherwise, we have no clue at all, where to find that spellcaster?" That's the only way to do it. Merely...... Or find a way to narrow it down......"
"Jurisdiction......" Gundam muttered to himself.
I nodded and said, "The spell caster is just one person, so there shouldn't be any helpers." On his own, it should not be possible to investigate the birthday of the little boy in the entire city on a large scale, but only within this small area. So I guess that the three little boys who died during the day today shouldn't be too far away, right? ”
"Yes," Gundam said, "two or three miles away from each other at most." ”
"That's it." I nodded, "So, we just need to deploy around here." With your manpower and conditions, it shouldn't be very difficult, right? ”
Gundam immediately said excitedly: "This is definitely no problem, I will arrange it as soon as it is dawn." ”
I said, "You should have information about every household there, right?" It should be clear which family has children and how long their birthdays are. It's not too late to check the information before deploying. ”
Gundam said excitedly, "Of course I know this. However, it seems that some brothers from other districts will have to be transferred to help, and the more people there are, the better. ”
I groaned and said: "Also, saying that this murder was committed by a Taoist priest of Maoshan is just a conjecture on our part, although this possibility is greater, but other possibilities cannot be completely ruled out." Ma Hongxiang said that the murderer was a person from the school, which is possible; As Gundam said before, the murderer may be a zombie, and this possibility cannot be completely ruled out......"
Gundam's face suddenly sank again, and he said with a sad cry, "So, every possibility has to be investigated?" ”
I nodded and said, "Exactly, the murderer is from the school, this possibility is relatively small, but send fewer people; As for the zombie matter, we have also decided to create a spirit pistol to deal with it, and you can't delay this matter, you still have to apply for it. Even if you don't need it this time, you may still be able to use it in the future. Then, in view of the possibility of Maoshan Taoist, it is necessary to make key deployments. ”
When I said that, Gundam nodded in agreement, "Yes." He listened to me as if it were a matter of course, and he didn't feel unnatural at all, and I didn't seem to think anything was wrong.
After a long time, Li Changdeng reacted, looked at Gundam stupidly and asked, "When did he become your superior?" ”
Gundam was stunned for a moment and said, "No." When did he become my superior? ”
Li Changdeng said: "Then why are you so submissive to him?" ”
Gundam was stunned again, but still said stubbornly: "He has a point, then of course you have to listen to him." ”
"Okay." Li Changdeng smiled and said.
Gundam ignored Li Changdeng and took out a small notebook from his pocket, and a pen came out, and wrote on it.
When he was done, he whispered it again. It turned out that he recorded everything he was going to do tomorrow, reported the case to his superiors, applied for help from colleagues in other districts, investigated those with children in nearby families, and applied for a pistol to make a spiritual pistol...... One by one, it is very well arranged and well organized.
I didn't expect this Gundam to be so cautious and careful in doing things like a seemingly rough line.
Seeing that everything was almost arranged, and everyone had a bottom in their hearts, they began to yawn.
Indeed, it was almost three o'clock now, and of course I was a little sleepy.
Li Xiaogang first arranged for Zhu'er to go to the guest room to sleep.
The rest of the people didn't go to the room to sleep, they just lay down on the sofa and the floor and got ready to sleep. Li Xiaogang took out all the quilts and halls in the house.
I was lying on the concubine seat, covered with a blanket, and said to Ma Hongxiang, who was sleeping at my feet: "I think that you, Li Xiaogang, and Tang Guoqing should not be involved in this matter." Let's do your job well. ”
Before Ma Hongxiang could speak, Li Xiaogang was anxious and said, "Why don't you want us to participate?" We didn't help much last time, and we should help this time. ”
I said seriously, "Anyway, I don't want to involve you in this kind of thing. I can't help it myself, you have your own family, you have your own life, it's better not to mess with this kind of thing. ”
Li Xiaogang said: "Then why can Gundam them? ”
"That's our duty, do you understand?" Gundam said, "Knife is right, this kind of thing is really no joke. You are all old and young, and you have to think about your family. ”
Ma Hongxiang wanted to say something, I rushed in front of him and said: "Don't say more, this kind of thing is not a matter of righteousness or responsibility." You just have to do your job, and Gundam and I will do our own work, and that's it. ”
After a long time, Ma Hongxiang finally said: "Okay, we don't care about your business." In the future, if you need it, you can call us at any time. When I have time, I come to drink with my brother and play mahjong. ”
"Definitely." I said with a smile.
Everyone was tired and soon fell asleep.
