Chapter 41: Three Heads and Eight Arms
"Yes, my name is Shi Yuan. Grandma, www.biquge.info the pen "Fun", I took the liberty to disturb today, mainly to ask about your grandson's situation. ”
"What do you say? Grandson? The old lady's eyes widened.
Seeing her expression, Shi Yuan had already guessed a few points. He took out his mobile phone and wanted to show the old man the photo he had taken of Liu Shengtong. However, when he opened the photo album on his mobile phone, Shi Yuan was stunned.
There are only mountain and forest dirt roads in the photo, and there is no half of a figure in sight.
"Luo Yasen, look at the photos on your phone."
Luo Yasen didn't wait for him to finish before opening the album. Like the photo taken by Shi Yuan, it was empty.
"Grandma, I'm sorry, I want to ask, do you have any impression of the name Liu Shengtong?" Liu Tong asked.
"Liu Shengtong? That's the name my daughter used to give to the child in her womb, how do you know? ”
"Ever?" Liu Tong repeated the word.
"Alas...... the old man sighed, his eyes welling with tears, "It's been so long since this matter, I didn't expect someone to mention ...... today"
"What happened back then?" Shi Yuan's face turned a little pale.
"Four years ago, my daughter fell on a dirt road and hit her head on a rock, and when we heard the news and arrived, she was no longer dead, and neither she nor the child in her belly could save ......"
"Grandma...... I'm sorry, we didn't mean to make you sad......" Liu Tong felt sad for a while and quickly apologized.
"I'm sorry, but just now we saw a kid running around in the mountains, and he said he lives here, so we came and asked, it seems that there is a mistake. I'm really sorry. Shi Yuan also quickly apologized.
On the way back, Shi Yuan couldn't help but think of his parents again. He would often try to call his parents, and his parents would occasionally call to talk. But in addition to being easier to get through at the beginning, the later you go, the fewer times you get through. Shi Yuan suspected that one day, he would completely lose contact with the outside world. In order not to make his parents suspicious, he lied that the signal in the small mountain village was not good, and simply did not let his parents call.
How long will you stay in this village?
Shi Yuan didn't know how many times he had asked himself this question.
He only hoped that his parents would never come here.
"This task should be considered complete, right?" On the way back, Royasen said.
"For us, it should be done. However, for Haiyuan......"
"Haiyuan?"
"Yes, what will happen to them, Captain Wen? This serial murder case is definitely a rare big case, not to mention the fact that a police officer died in the mission, do you think they will just give up? Shi Yuan said.
"But that's not something we can control. Isn't that ghost all gone? ”
"It disappeared before my eyes, but we don't know what it actually is."
"Forget it, Shi Yuan, don't think about it so much. Instead of worrying about others, think about what's in front of you. Royasen stretched as he walked.
"The page?" Shi Yuan looked at him.
"yes, you've finally remembered. Isn't this what we're fighting for? Well, take a look. Luo Yasen handed the latest page to Shi Yuan.
At this time, several people had already walked to the door of Luo Yasen's house. Luo Yasen opened the door, and four people walked in one after another.
"Three heads and eight arms?" Shi Yuan carefully studied the few big words on the paper.
"Do you have any ideas?" Luo Yasen asked as he sat down on the couch.
"Tell me first, haven't you already read the content?"
"That's right," Royasen leaned back, "but I don't think much of it. ”
"Say as much as you want." Shi Yuan said.
At this time, the page was being held by Fang Yisheng in his hand, he frowned and studied for a while, and suddenly blurted out: "Nezha!" ”
"What?"
"What?" Royasen, who was drinking water, almost squirted out a mouthful of water. He wiped the water from his chin and looked at Fang Yisheng fixedly.
"Three heads and eight arms, isn't that Nezha?" Fang Yisheng looked up at the two people who were surprised and inexplicable.
"Nezha, that's three heads and six arms, not eight arms." Royasen said.
"Oh, that's right...... How do I remember that it was the Eight Arms......" Fang Yisheng put on a puzzled look.
"Actually, this can't be said to be unreasonable," Shi Yuan said, "When I saw these four words, the first word that popped up in my mind was also Nezha, but I felt a little unreasonable, so I didn't say it." ”
"Could it be that the next mission is really related to Nezha?" Royasen pulled out a tissue to wipe the table.
"Then how to understand the word 'Fu'? In such a place, where you live in fear of the future every day, how can there be any 'blessing'......," Liu said.
"Blessing...... It's probably still a person's name, but it's not uncommon. Shi Yuan said.
"Names? It's easier to understand. Liu Tong focused his attention on the page and looked at it carefully.
"That's what I think," said Royassin, "and the familiar word is 'three heads and six arms,' and this one is 'three heads and eight arms,' and the implication is that there are two more arms." As for where and whose arms are added, I think we won't know until we receive new mission instructions. ”
"As it should be, we can't be in too much of a hurry. If you get into a dead end when you don't have enough information, it will be difficult to get out, so it's better to wait and see. Shi Yuan said.
"However, can we investigate the word 'Fu' first?" Liu Tong said.
"Actually, I think that the case of the Haiyuan police is not over, and it may not have nothing to do with us." Shi Yuan suddenly changed the subject.
"Why do you say that?" Royassin asked.
"It's hard to say, it's kind of intuition."
"Is it really intuition?" Luo Yasen asked again.
"Hmm...... Actually, you should be aware of it, right? Shi Yuan straightened up, "Why did the mission of this serial death case clearly point out the connection with the police in the mission instructions?" The goal of a mission like 'hand over the murderer to the police' is too strange to look at, isn't it? The murderer is a ghost after all, how can it be solved by ordinary means? So I think that the goal of this mission is not so much a goal as a clue. ”
"Hey, let me make sure first, the mission of the serial murder case is indeed over, right?" Luo Yasen couldn't help but say.
"That shouldn't be a problem, after all, the pages are already there."
"Then what other clues ......?"
"So, it's a clue to the next mission." Shi Yuan said slowly.
"Do you want to contact Captain Wen and see if there is any progress on their side? While I was waiting there, I heard that several people were spreading the word that the director's nephew was out of the house, and the case would be solved immediately. And what about you? I ran back, and now I think this case is going to be unsolved for thousands of years. (To be continued.) )
