"Yes, I thought she was very familiar, but I just couldn't remember it, and when you said that, I remembered it, and she was that movie star."

"This is called puppetry, Mr. Yang, you should be familiar with this kind of Xuanmen spell." Lao Tao said.

"That's right, I've seen several kinds of puppetry, there are wooden figures, there are muddy ones, this is a puppet made of paper figures, right?" I said.

"That's right, the Bliss Paper Tie Shop is doing white things on the surface, and secretly selling puppets, and I've been staring at them for many years."

"Why don't you arrest them?" Wu Biao said.

"Don't get excited, you can't play cards with common sense when dealing with people from the Xuanmen, for example, these puppet people, is this a crime? Not necessarily, right? ”

"But this old man ......"

"People have seven emotions and six desires, although some physiological functions will degenerate when people are older, but the desires in their hearts still exist, even if they can't do anything substantive, but things like this kind of fake phoenix are actually harmless, what you do behind closed doors, as long as it doesn't endanger the interests of others, we can't talk about him."

"The question is, if this woman is made of paper paste, how does she look like a real person?" I wondered.

"Except for the limbs and head, which are sewn with human skin, the rest of the body is brushed with phosphowax."

"Phosphowax? What is it. ”

"There are some tombs, the curtain wall is hollow, and used to fill the gap is the figurines, the so-called figurines are to break his body limbs when the person is alive, the joints are turned over, and then the undead are sealed alive in the oil wax containing arsenic mixed with a large amount of arsenic wax, when the oil wax is completely solidified, people will die because of poisoning and lack of oxygen, when people are made into figurines, they will not rot, unless the wax layer on the body surface cracks and falls off, and the soul of the dead is all sealed in the oil wax for thousands of years and will be integrated into the wax layer, if the method of lowering the head, The oil wax will fall off the corpse with the soul, which is called phosphorus wax, and after being made into a paper man, the phosphorus wax will be melted and brushed on the surface of the paper figure, and the paper man will become a puppet, and it will have the behavior and even thoughts of the soul of the deceased, so this is a very terrible puppetry. ”

"As for the dough you mentioned, it only takes a layer of pigskin to put on the facial contours made to become a human face, but the most important thing is the eyeball, which is not fake, but a real person's eyeball, which is buckled down and put on, only with the eyeball, the puppet will become a dummy who moves freely."

Then Lao Dao said something that made me feel terrible, he said: "Both, do you think that the people you see walking around are all people? Most likely, it's a puppet man. ”

"Lao Liao, you are really lacking in virtue, I haven't known you for a day or two, why did you only say such an important thing now?"

"Does it matter? If it weren't for such a case, would it be illegal for this old man to buy a puppet to do this? Lao Dao said.

Wu Biao thought for a while and said, "It doesn't seem to be illegal." ”

I said, "Sensei said that it is not illegal to do this, he is not illegal to scrape this female puppet alive." ”

"yes, in that case, what do you mean by following these people?" Wu Biao said.

"It doesn't seem to make much sense, but aren't you dead there, that's interesting." Lao Tao said.

"What's the point?"

"Mr. Yang said that this puppet once gave him a number, and he also got through, right?"

"yes, I just can't figure out who's on the other end of the line?"

"I can tell you for sure, the person on the other end of the phone is a Yanshi Sect, any paper puppet as long as it is out of the Bliss Paper Tie Shop, it will correspond to a Yanshi Sect person, that is, the phone number you said, once this number is dialed, it means that the identity of the puppet is suspected, and the person who buys the puppet will definitely die, as far as I know over the years, there are no less than dozens of people who have died at the hands of the Yanshi Sect, but none of the cases can be solved, and they have all committed suicide and hastily closed the case."

"You're right, today seventy or eighty percent of the people in our bureau are inclined to close the suicide case, because there is no clue at the scene to show that this person died of homicide."

"What do you say?" Lao Dao asked.

"If people all over the world say that Ding Chengjie died by suicide, then he died by suicide." Wu Biao said.

Lao Dao laughed dryly and sat silently in his chair, a pair of eyes shining in the dark.

Wu Biao sat opposite him and said, "Old Liao, you were played mysteriously with me, just tell me what to do, right?" ”

Lao Dao sighed and said, "Did I say it was useful?" ”

Wu Biao also sighed and said, "Yes, the key is that there are no clues left." ”

"The people of the Yanshi Sect will kill people for money in this way, and no one will care?" I said.

"There is no breakthrough, if you want to cut into a case, you need to cut in, but what Ding Chengjie lacks in this case is this, and the most important thing is that Ding Chengjie himself is not a complete piece, and the role he plays in this matter is not glorious."

Lao Dao said: "This is also a very important point for Yanshimen to make a living, because I guess that it will only be men who buy this paper man, and they all have ulterior and dirty intentions, such as this old man, such as Ding Chengjie, these people will not even arouse anyone's sympathy after death, and the people of Yanshimen know how to use people's hearts to exonerate themselves from crime." At this he coughed twice and said, "Before this I almost caught their horses, just a little, one step, a thousand miles away."

I thought to myself and said, "You put the paper figure in the fire truck?" ”

"Not only the fire truck, but also the fire on Shirashi Street, I also set it, but I didn't expect that in an area without access, the fire was extinguished so quickly, and the fire was extinguished as soon as it was lit." Lao Dao shook his head helplessly.

"You're doing this to ruin those paper figures? But with so many people, if someone dies, it will be a crime. Wu Biao said with some annoyance.

"That's right, so I ordered the Bliss Paper Shop, of course I wanted to minimize the danger, but they reacted too quickly, and they extinguished the fire in the blink of an eye, and then ......" Speaking of this, the old Taoist laughed before continuing: "I watched these people run to the Baicheng Road Paper Shop to set a fire, and they thought that the person who prevented the fire was the Baicheng Road Paper Shop." Speaking of which, Lao Dao seemed to have seen the funniest thing in the world, and laughed out loud.

Wu Biao and I looked at each other, I couldn't understand why he was so happy, and after the laughter stopped, Lao Dao continued: "I am an immoral behavior, but I inadvertently dug up the second Yanshi disciple who sells puppets in Lingquan City, which is Baicheng Dao, and it seems that the relationship between the two families is not very good, and the real fire was actually put by the people of the Bliss Paper Shop, because only they know where it will cause the fire to break out instantly." ”

"So the people of the Yanshi Sect are not monolithic?" I said.

"As long as interests are involved, brothers will turn their faces, not to mention people in the same family, if this matter is purely from a legal point of view, it is impossible to convict the two parties, but it is not impossible to deal with them, if you can take advantage of the misunderstanding between the two families, they will inevitably have a dispute, and it will be easy to deal with if they really fight."

Lao Dao's provocative plan against the two families was really good, but I felt strange again and asked, "Why are you targeting the Yanshi Sect so much?" ”

"You just think of me as a good person who is brave and brave." Lao Dao sneered.

"If you don't use Uncle Liao's name, I may be able to ignore it, but you are now working outside under Uncle Liao's name, so I have the right to question you."

Hearing me say this, Wu Biao also said: "That's right, when you appeared, the villagers of Qinglong Mountain vouched for you, saying that you opened this Hall of Blessing for their interests, but what you did didn't seem to have too direct to do with creating wealth, Lao Dao, who are you?" Why are you here? It's time to tell me today. ”

Lao Dao raised his left hand and two fingers with a bang, the fire fluttered from his fingertips, and the originally dark room was instantly illuminated by the firelight, Lao Dao smiled: "I said that I can make the people of Qinglong Mountain rich, then they will definitely be able to make it, I can't help but you don't believe it." With that, he pointed to the lampshade, and there was a soft sound, and each lampshade in the chandelier in the room lit up a little candle, although there was an open flame, but the atmosphere under the candle always made people feel a little ghostly.
