Two severed arms.

Two deceased.

If there is no correlation at all, then it is just that, as two separate cases, it is always easy to explain how difficult the patrol house is.

The reason why Inspector Huang is so anxious must also be because the two severed arms are obviously related, and it can be determined that they are serial killings, which makes people's heads big.

Zhou Erya asked absentmindedly: "Then what is so special about these two arms?" Inspector Huang, you'd better be concise. ”

He likes funny things.

The dismemberment is indeed terrifying, but it is not necessarily interesting.

Inspector Huang is very wordy, and Zhou Erya has never been too lazy to talk to him.

Han Yu saw that Inspector Huang was embarrassed, and reminded him: "The main thing is the connection between these two arms and two cases." ”

That's definitely the point.

Inspector Huang nodded again and again: "This is indeed strange, because both arms are cut off from the elbow, and then all the way to the wrist are wrapped in oiled paper, and the ends are tied tightly with fine hemp rope, revealing only the pale palms spread out......"

When I saw it live, the weird feeling was indescribable.

"Isn't it like wrapping ham?"

Zhou Erya blurted out, but the attitude of asking was very serious.

Inspector Huang was disgusted for a while, but he couldn't bear to show a look of disgust, and said with a smile: "Zhou Gongzi said this, it makes sense...... Maybe it's time to look up the store that makes pickles......"

Of course, the patrol room actually thought of this possibility a long time ago, and ordinary murderers would not have such a strange idea.

Han Yu couldn't cry or laugh, sometimes Zhou Erya always had strange questions. But what is the reason why the prisoner would do this, it is not just to abandon the convenience of the broken arm, right?

He thought for a moment and asked, "The rest of the body, have you found anything?" ”

Inspector Huang shook his head gloomily: "I didn't find anything at all." ”

It's not that there are no corpses without broken arms on the beach, but they can't connect with these two severed hands.

This is also where the patrol house is puzzled.

- What was the purpose of the murderer's dismemberment? If it was to hide the corpse, then why were these two severed hands so conspicuous? The rest of the body, where did it go?

"Interesting."

Zhou Erya suddenly became interested.

He ignored Inspector Huang, got up and walked straight into the study, picked out a few local chronicles, and rummaged through them carefully.

Han Yu was a little embarrassed and explained to Inspector Huang: "He is this temper, he may have thought of something, don't be surprised." ”

"No wonder, no wonder." Inspector Huang smiled dryly: "If Gongzi Zhou can think of any clues, it will save our lives." ”

He probed his brain and looked into the study, wanting to ask, but he didn't dare to make a mistake.

After a while, Zhou Erya walked out with a black ancient book, spread it out on the coffee table in the living room, pointed to the place circled with a red pen, and motioned for Han Yu to come and see.

Han Yu leaned over and read a few lines of text, his face was strange.

"Soul Seeker?"

This is an introduction to a spell in Xiangxi.

In the area of Xiangxi, the art of witchcraft is very widespread, and it is also full of mystery and danger.

The Legend of the Soul Reaper is a method of black sorcery used to curse and kill some high-ranking dignitaries - these people are usually very protective and cannot be attacked, so they can only take a detour.

As long as you kill seven people related to this person, and then place the left arms of these people in a special way to form a formation of soul reapers, you can take the life of the target in the air.

"This ...... It's nonsense, right? ”

Han Yu still believes in science, this kind of thing is impossible to achieve, who will take it seriously?

Inspector Huang could only smile bitterly, he came here to hope that the Eryu Detective Agency could provide him with some ideas, it was definitely not such a mysterious thing.

"That's hard to say."

Zhou Erya seemed to be very concerned, and he showed Han Yu the details: "The effect of the binding is very similar to what the detective said, you can take a look at the evidence later, and you will know if this is the case......

- The Inspector?

Inspector Huang had a sad face, and after a long time, Zhou Gongzi didn't remember his surname at all.

Han Yu also frowned, isn't the so-called evidence those two broken arms?

Zhou Erya herself will not go to see it, this kind of drudgery can only be handed over to herself.

He pondered, "If that's the case, do you mean to say that after these two cases of severed arms, there are five more?" ”

To make up the Seven Hands Soul Quest, there must be seven victims.

How much of a storm does this have to cause?

Anyway, Inspector Huang definitely couldn't stand it, and he saw a cold sweat on his head: "It shouldn't be, right?" If this kind of strange case really happens, then the patrol room really can't explain it......"

Not to mention the seven broken arms, even these two now, if you can't come up with a conclusion in a short time, after the news in the newspaper breaks out, the patrol house will not have a good life.

"I didn't know until I went to see the evidence."

Zhou Erya's attitude was very calm.

For him, if it was really Xiangxi Suo's soul hand, without Inspector Huang's pleading, his own interest would make him sure to find out.

"Then I'll go back with Inspector Huang."

Han Yu knew that he couldn't avoid this, and he felt that no matter what was going on, this evidence with a broken arm would always have to be taken a hard look at. After becoming a detective, he has seen a lot of corpses, and the stump is not so terrible.

Inspector Huang knew that Zhou Erya was not moved, but Han Yu was willing to go, which represented the intervention of the Eryu Detective Agency in the case, and sent a sigh: "Then thank you Mr. Han, we will go over now." ”

The patrol room sent a car over, but Zhou Erya still instructed Adjutant Cai to drive the two of them back. But he sat in the study with peace of mind and continued to look for the information of the Seven Hands Soul Quest.

This kind of folklore is mysterious and unverifiable, and it is recorded that the earliest record was the assassination of a local official by a Miao man. At that time, the county town was the same as the current Shanghai Tang, and an arm severed from the elbow was found every few days, but the rest of the body could not be found.

Seven days later, the target official fell ill and died, and it was only then that the identity of the owner of the seven severed arms was roughly identified.

Sure enough, as in the record of the soul reaper, these seven people are inextricably linked to the dead official, and it is precisely because of this combination of relationships that it is possible for the soul retainer to kill people.

Of course...... There is no empirical evidence, nor is there any scientific basis.

Xiangxi County is full of miasma, and there are many officials who have gone to the post who have contracted the disease and died violently, and there is no way to refer to and confirm it.

In addition, there are many cases that are even more absurd, but there is only one core content, which is to gather the grievances of the seven deceased, and the seven left hands will take the life of which person.

Zhou Erya frowned.

He didn't like the anger that this legend was full of, because killing a person would cost seven innocent lives, wouldn't the price be too great?

Zhou Erya closed the relevant information, pressed her temples hard, and felt a burst of migraine.
