"This is the murderer."

Ren Yi and fax took out a hemp rope from the messy home and tied the unconscious old man's hands behind his back.

As soon as it was dawn, Captain He brought a patrol team over, and the people of Nangu Town heard that the murderer had been arrested, so they all rushed to watch.

The two pushed the immobile old man into front of everyone.

The people who were cowering all over the street finally saw the real murderer who had been raging for more than two months, and at that moment they couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat behind their backs, and they all flinched back.

After the old man was imprisoned in the illusion, the young man with empty eyes immediately returned to normal, and looked around the unfamiliar living room blankly.

Then he looked down and saw that he was covered in blood, and he was still holding a kitchen knife with a curled blade in his hand, and he fainted in fright, and he had been carried away on a stretcher by Captain He.

He is also a victim, and he has not really hurt anyone, so he will not be held accountable. I heard that he woke up and ran away without looking back.

Seeing that the murderer was motionless, his eyes were dull and he looked at the air like a wax figure, and the crowd who had retreated a circle had the courage to come up and take a look.

"It's scary!"

"I really know people and faces, I don't know my heart, I look like an ordinary old man, how can I be so cruel."

The curious gaze fell on the figure on the ground shrouded in the night, and the muttering around him gradually became louder.

"This person is so familiar......"

In the crowd, a bald man suddenly walked out with a thermos cup, staring at the people on the ground thoughtfully.

"Hey, isn't this Lao Chen, who often goes to the temple to volunteer?"

An old lady next to her let out an exclamation after thinking for a long time, and the crowd was immediately in an uproar.

"How could it be him? He is a well-known kind-hearted person in the neighborhood and has helped many people! ”

"I know this man, and he lives on our street." The voice of a middle-aged woman rang out in the crowd.

As soon as these words came out, the woman who was a little blessed immediately became the focus:

"He is very warm-hearted to people, and he never refuses when someone asks him for help. His neighbors have been taken care of by him. Even the last time my TV broke, I asked him to fix it. I haven't heard of any bad intentions in him......"

"Could it be a mistake?" Immediately after hearing this, someone began to mutter, "How can a person who eats fasting and recites Buddha do such a thing?" ”

Puzzled expressions gradually appeared on everyone's faces, and the sound of chattering immediately became noisy.

"It seems that everyone is confused." Ren Yi looked around and said, "Actually, I'm also puzzled. ”

"Okay, then I'll ask why he did this."

Ren Yi stepped forward, the silk fan in his hand shook, and there was a soft crackling sound.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Lao Chen, who fell to the ground like a wax figure, suddenly coughed violently, his eyes quickly focused, and the red illusion that trapped his consciousness suddenly disappeared.

"Let go of me!" His face immediately turned red, his eyes flashed fiercely, and he struggled desperately under the hemp rope.

The onlookers nearby were caught off guard and were taken aback, they didn't expect that the gentle old Chen on weekdays was so fierce when he revealed his true nature, and immediately gasped and retreated, and the encirclement in the alley unconsciously expanded for a week.

"Say, why kill so many innocent people."

Ren Yi separated the people in front of him, walked to Lao Chen's side step by step, and looked down at him calmly.

"Innocent?" Lao Chen was tied to the ground and couldn't move, so he could only grit his teeth and stare at Ren Yi, his eyes blood-red like a trapped beast in a cage, "Are they innocent?" Am I not innocent? ”

"I have no children or daughters, and I want to accumulate more good fortune by doing good deeds all my life, so that God can see my kind face and bless me to live a good life when I am old!"

"But God not only blessed me, but also made me get cancer, and I didn't even have the money for treatment......"

"Why! I'm not reconciled! ”

"Since all the good things in my life have been done in vain, then in the rest of my days, I will take back all the charity I have given!"

Lao Chen's forehead was bruised, and he roared wildly like a beast with an arrow.

"When she used to go to school, I sponsored her a lot of money! She always said that she would study hard and pay back the money in the future......"

But she didn't appreciate this hard-won opportunity at all! Dropped out of school early to go into that kind of business! ”

"The more you live, the more unproductive you become, and at the age of thirty, you're still looking for someone to borrow money everywhere......"

"Since she lives so painfully, it's better not to live!"

Lao Chen's face was hideous, and his expression completely turned into a demon in hell.

"There is also the daughter of Xiao Li's family, I persuade her every day to want to open something, but does she listen? Turn your head and ignore the wind! Kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs! ”

"She was dumped by her fiancé and jumped over the river, I rescued her!"

"I saved her life, and I want to come back when I want to!"

"And the cheating woman, who is impatient to live a good life. What else do you say it's better to die...... Then I will fulfill her! ”

So that's it......

Ren Yi looked around, "Do you understand?" ”

Everyone was already stunned by Lao Chen's series of words, and it was hard to imagine that Lao Chen, who was dedicated to goodness, would reveal such a sinister heart, and they were all frightened for a while, shrinking under the wall and motionless.

"Why are you so ruthless!"

"I really know people and faces, but I don't know my heart!"

"Confused......"

Everyone sighed.

Nangu Town is a small place, and distant relatives are not as close as neighbors, and many people are close to more than a dozen victims. Hearing Lao Chen say such words himself, a painful sobbing immediately sounded in the crowd.

Fax shook his head and sighed: "Alas, a person is driven to a dead end by illness, who knows what a ridiculous thing he can do. ”

Ren Yi looked at Lao Chen, who was lying on the ground, and he suddenly remembered the "nautilus" of heaven and earth.

Didn't the "Nautilus" also have a terminal illness, taking the unconfirmed conjecture of the Biyi cicada as the only hope, and finally died tragically in Chikou Town?

These people who have no way back really can't be inferred by common sense, and sometimes, a thought can become the last straw that breaks the camel's back, and they embark on the road of no return like Lao Chen; Or maybe an illusory hope can make people take risks, plan like a "nautilus", and end up burying themselves.

"The matter is settled, there is no Advent, just a false alarm." Ren Yi turned to Captain He and said.

"Thank you so much...... Captain He touched the tears in the corners of his eyes, "You sent my daughter back, and solved a big problem in our town, I don't know how to thank you." ”

"This is the commission given to you by the people of the town," Captain He pulled Ren Yi and the fax to the backman, and felt out two heavy small money bags.

"There is also a little bit of personal care from me and the victim's family, you two must accept ......it," Captain He grabbed Ren Yi's hand and thanked him.

"The murderer is left to you to dispose of yourself," Ren Yi put away the money bag, turned around and walked towards the alley, "The dart game has just opened, and I can't do without it." I took my leave. ”

The poor monk also took his leave. I didn't eat the legendary tofu brain......" Fax smacked his lips regretfully, "The poor monk went elsewhere to make a fortune." ”

"Slow down, two."

Captain He respectfully sent the two out of the alley, and kept bowing to their backs.

……

"What is he going to do?"

"Shoot!"

Ren Yi had just walked out not far away, and the passionate voices of the people at the entrance of the alley came vaguely from behind.

"You give my daughter back!"

Suddenly, a terrible scream drowned out all the chattering discussions, and the proprietress of the breakfast shop rushed over in spite of the crowd.

She had described her as insane, and no one knew where she had been these days. I don't know where she heard the news of the murderer's arrest, and she had been quietly hiding in the crowd just now without saying a word.

At this moment, she was holding a boning knife in her hand, glowing in the moonlight!

The crowd shouted, terror spreading through the alley.

"Hahahaha!"

Suddenly, another weird and crazy laugh rang out, directly overshadowing everyone's screams!

Ren Yi listened to him, this voice was actually Lao Chen who was tied up!

"It's not good, there is another change!" Ren Yi shouted with Fax, and immediately turned around and ran towards the alley.

"It's done! It's done! ”

"No less than one!"

It was late, and the crowd in the alley had already dispersed in fright. The proprietress was held down, and the knife fell to the side.

But Lao Chen still spat blood from his mouth.

His eyes were red, and his eyes were scattered on the sky above him, as if the world around him was gone.

"This ......" Ren Yi looked at him completely crazy, and there was an inexplicable chill behind him.

"What does he mean by that?" Fax confusing.

"What do you mean by 'got it together'? What is he making up? ”

Poof-

Suddenly, Lao Chen's sinister face twitched, and another mouthful of blood gushed out of his throat!

"He's poisoned! He committed suicide in fear of sin! Captain He stumbled up against the crowd and pried his mouth open.

"Another death!" The crowd of onlookers saw such a tragic and terrifying scene for the first time, and the streets were immediately chaotic.

The blood kept gushing up, Lao Chen's face turned purple, his muscles bulged, his body twitched like a fish out of water, and finally collapsed to the ground.

"It's over, it's already swallowed." Captain He sighed and let go of his bloodstained hands in exhaustion.

"Why? Isn't it more painful to take poison? The fax was puzzled.

"It's all there...... Not a lot of ......" Ren Yi frowned, kept repeating Lao Chen's words before he died, and his thoughts quickly switched.

"Wait a minute." Ren Yi had a flash of inspiration, and immediately squatted next to the corpse, grabbed his still twitching wrist, and pressed his two fingers on it.

"Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescription" is still useful after watching it, and Ren Yi has now preliminarily mastered the pulse control technique.

"This ......" After a moment, Ren Yi slowly stood up, cold sweat on his forehead.

"How?" Seeing that his face was not good, Fax also frowned.

"His internal organs were all corroded by poison."

Ren Yi said: "This is the reason why he chose poison, he wants to destroy his internal organs." ”

"If he is killed by the proprietress , there is a high probability that he will be stabbed through the heart. Then he won't be able to make it up. ”

Captain He was stunned for a moment, and his face was uncertain.

"The victims," the fax paused, "they've been entrailed too!" ”

"One less, all together, refers to the internal organs."

"Huh?" Captain He's face changed drastically, "Could it be that this is some kind of sacrificial ritual?" ”

Ren Yi thought of the disembowelment blood sacrifice of the believers of the "swollen saint" and the bones stacked under the bronze tree, it was very likely.

But who is Lao Chen offering sacrifices to?

He remembered Buddha beads and small gilded bronze statues...... His eyes caught eye on Fax.

No, no, no, it can't be!
