Chapter Ninety-Eight: A Trick in the City

While talking, several passengers sitting next to them seemed to be attracted by their remarks, and they all stared at them.

Perhaps sensing the anomaly around him, the man who spoke earlier coughed lightly and immediately changed the subject, chatting about the trivial matters of the parents, and the passengers around him turned their heads aside when they heard that they felt bored.

"Miss Ning, do you think what the two of them said is true or false, and this big case in the city is really done by dirty things?" I looked at Ning Nanxi beside me and asked in a low voice.

"It's hard to say, the serial killer who killed seven or eight people in a row is not non-existent, but since the Taoist priest was invited, it means that there must be a hidden truth in this matter, the police are atheists, and they are even more scornful of traditional religion, since they can ask the Taoist priest to help, it means that they have found clues that make them unbelievable, so they will decide that they can't control this matter, in my opinion, nine times out of ten this matter is related to dirty things." Ning Nanxi calmly analyzed.

As the saying goes, it doesn't matter to oneself, it stands to reason that this matter has nothing to do with us, and we don't need to get involved, but Ning Nanxi was moved after listening to the two of them.

According to her words, as a Taoist, it should be his duty to save the common people, and now the murderer has killed seven or eight people in a row and is still on the run, as long as the murderer cannot be caught for a day, the people in the city will not be able to guarantee safety.

Moreover, she came out this time to experience in the rivers and lakes, and now it is a great opportunity, how could she miss it.

After listening to Ning Nanxi, I feel that there is some truth, and the Buddhists also say that saving people's lives is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, if we can help the police catch the real murderer this time, it is also for us to accumulate yin virtue, which is not a good thing for others and ourselves.

It's just that before that, we must first find Qin Wenhua to help me borrow life, because according to the previous time, today is already the time limit, and if we want to continue to survive, we must first borrow Yangshou.

Three hours later, the bus arrived in the city, and it was already about two o'clock in the afternoon.

Originally, there should have been a lot of pedestrians and vehicles on the streets during this time period, but today I don't know what happened, and there were very few pedestrians on the streets.

There is not a single car on the street for half a day, and there are not as many vehicles as in the county.

I turned my head to see that most of the shops on the street were closed, and this is very rare in the city, and after thinking about it, it is probably related to a series of murders.

It's just that I can't understand why a homicide case has such an impact, and the streets are so few pedestrians and vehicles, not to mention that most of the shops are closed, which is really incomprehensible.

We walked along the street for seven or eight minutes before we found a noodle restaurant, and we ate some dry food brought by the family for breakfast, and now we have been hungry for several hours, so we plan to go to the hat brim alley to find Qin Wenhua after eating.

The noodle shop was deserted, except for a middle-aged man sitting at the counter and sighing.

Seeing the three of us coming in, the middle-aged man immediately stood up, first startled, and then said with a smile on his face: "What are you going to eat?" ”

"Three bowls of beef noodles and three bottles of mineral water." I looked at the middle-aged man and said.

The middle-aged man turned around and entered the back kitchen, and soon came to us with a tray.

After putting down the beef noodles and mineral water, he just wanted to turn around and leave, but I said directly: "The boss asked you about something, why is the city so deserted today, it is overcrowded on weekdays, but what's wrong today?" ”

The middle-aged man glanced outside and asked in a low voice: "You three are not locals, there has been a big incident in the city recently, I heard that it seems that there is a serial murderer who escaped to the city, and seven or eight lives have been killed in a few days, and now the police patrol the city all day long, but there is no clue, so it makes the people panic, and they basically stay at home for nothing, for fear of letting the murderer target them." ”

"Although I am not local, I have lived in this city for several years, and there was a big case in the city three years ago, and the murderer committed three crimes in a row and killed six people. I looked at the middle-aged man and asked.

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly after hearing this, saying that he knew that the case that happened in the city three years ago was not a serial killer at all, but a madman with mental illness.

He killed people indiscriminately, and they were all stabbed with knives, and the police solved the case within a few days, but this time the murder was different, otherwise the people in the city would not be so afraid.

The middle-aged man's words aroused the curiosity of the three of us, and I pulled out the wooden stool next to me and asked him to sit down, so that he could tell us what had happened.

The middle-aged man was also a warm-hearted man, and when he saw that we were so curious about this matter, he told us about what had happened in the past few days.

Initially, a few days ago, a sanitation worker who was cleaning found a naked man in a garbage can.

The man, who was in his twenties, had his chest and abdomen dissected with a blunt object, and all the organs inside were missing.

As soon as this incident came out, the police attached great importance to it and began to investigate clues everywhere.

However, before the news of the second homicide came again, this time the body was found by an old man fishing in the Mingquan River.

At that time, the old man was fishing, and suddenly he felt as if something had bitten the hook, so he began to pull desperately, thinking that it was a big fish, but he did not expect to find that it was a human head after catching it.

After calling the police, the body was recovered ashore and found that it was also a naked body, and the internal organs in the chest cavity were also removed.

Since then, the police have learned of the seriousness of the case, so they set up a special team to start an investigation, but the investigation has been inconclusive for several days, but the cases have become more and more frequent.

To date, seven bodies have been found, all of them naked men, and their entrails have been hollowed out.

Originally, the police wanted to suppress this matter and not let the people know, for fear of causing panic, but this matter had fermented on the first day, and more people cared about the follow-up content of this matter, so they continued to dig deeper, and soon learned about the next few murders.

Since then, someone has leaked the news, and finally the people in the city know that there is such a cruel and unscrupulous serial killer hiding in the city, so it makes people uneasy.

Most of the commuters took leave from the company, and the retired ones hid at home and did not dare to come out, so the number of pedestrians and vehicles on the streets decreased sharply.

"Boss, I see that few shops on this street are open, why are you still open to do business on this cusp, aren't you afraid?" Li Hai looked at the middle-aged man and asked.

The middle-aged man sighed after hearing this, and said with a helpless expression: "This murderer's modus operandi is really miserable, how can it be said that I am not afraid, but I still have three children at home, and they and my daughter-in-law are all supported by this noodle restaurant, if I don't open the door, there will be no income, and then our family of five will not go to drink the northwest wind, so I can only continue to open the shop, at least one day can earn a rent, by the way, let me remind you, it is not safe in the city now, if you stay here, try to hide at home." , Don't come out to hang out if you don't have anything to do, especially at night, this street used to be bustling at night, and there were lights and green cars everywhere, but now it's deserted at night, where there is still an urban area. ”

"What if the murderer is never caught or let him escape from the city?" I pressed on.

"I'm worried about this now, you said that if you can't catch the murderer for a day, then the people in this city will be unstable for a day, in that case, there will definitely be no customers in this store, and even if you don't get killed by the murderer, I'm afraid you will starve to death." The middle-aged man said helplessly.

"Uncle, have you heard that the police asked a Taoist priest for assistance?" Ning Nanxi suddenly changed her words and asked.

The middle-aged man was stunned when he heard this, and said in surprise: "Taoist priest? What did the police ask the Taoist priest to do, isn't this a serial murder case, is it difficult to ask the Taoist priest to help figure out the murderer's hiding location? ”

From the middle-aged man's response, it can be seen that he did not know that the Taoist was also involved in the murder case, so although the police did not curb the leakage of the case, they finally concealed the matter of asking the Taoist for assistance.

If the local people knew that this incident might not be done by a living person, it would definitely cause even greater riots, and it is estimated that they will not even be able to stay at home at that time.

"It's nothing, it's just a question later, boss, you go get busy, let's eat first."

Ning Nanxi then perfunctory, and the middle-aged man didn't pay attention to it, nodded and walked into the back kitchen with a tray.

Seeing the middle-aged man leave, Ning Nanxi glanced in the direction of the back kitchen, then turned his head and whispered: "It seems that this matter is really not simple, I have heard a lot of homicides, but it is the first time I have heard of the matter of taking human organs, and there must be a big problem during the killing of seven people in a row, as far as I know, the five internal organs of people are extremely useful, in ancient times, there were people who used this material to refine the elixir of immortality, and in modern times, it was also rumored that someone used the five internal organs to feed Gu worms, so I think this matter is definitely not done by a normal murderer, It is very likely to be related to the Evil Demon Dao, I plan to stay and investigate this matter clearly, and then return to Xuanqingmen after dealing with this matter, Chen Mo, what do you think? ”

Although I am now burdened with a sea of blood and hatred, I know that revenge is far from an overnight thing.

In this case, it is better to help the people in the city survive this catastrophe first, and then go to Xuanqingmen to learn art after catching the real culprit.

"Okay, then act according to your plan, now let's hurry up and eat, and when we have eaten, we will go to the hat brim alley, since Uncle Qin is also a member of the Taoist family, I think he should know more about the inside story, and we should be able to know more clues from him." I looked at Ning Nanxi and said in a deep voice.

After eating, the three of us went to the side of the road to take a taxi and waited for more than ten minutes before getting into a taxi.

In the taxi, the driver kept observing the three of us through the rearview mirror, and he was probably terrified of the homicide.

The car traveled all the way, and by the time we arrived at the hat brim alley, it was already about half past three in the afternoon.

At this time, the taxi that Qin Wenhua drove on weekdays was parked at the entrance of the alley, and it seemed that Qin Wenhua should not have gotten out of the car.

I was just about to enter the alley, but Li Hai stood aside and stopped, with a frightened look on his face and a palpitating look.

"What's the matter, Lao Li, why don't you leave?" I looked at Li Hai and asked.

"You two go by yourself, the surname Qin is too weird, now I can't even tell if he is a human or a ghost, and the old lady who lives in the innermost part of the alley is not a good person, I don't want to follow his way anymore."

Li Hai's words trembled, his face showed a look of horror, if he wanted to say that he was afraid of Qin Wenhua or second, he was mainly afraid of that strange old lady.

The old lady first made Li Hai's eyes blood-red through the crack in the door, and then cast a spell to set up a ghost wall in the hat brim alley, and now it is reasonable for Li Hai to be afraid.

However, his words reminded me that although Qin Wenhua was a disciple of Xuanqing Sect and a senior brother of Ning Nanxi, his behavior was too weird.

What is this living person doing in a coffin, and the old lady who lives in the innermost part of the alley also said that he is half human and half ghost, and now that Ning Nanxi is also there, he can ask clearly.

"Miss Ning, there is something I want to ask you, have you ever seen a living person living in a coffin filled with green water, the green water is like sewage in the sewer, full of fishy smell!"
