Di Renjie narrowed his eyes: "I see, I've been taught." Who made these puppets? ”

The head of the class smiled carefully: "If you go back to the adult, only the villain in the entire capital will make puppets with mortise and tenon structure, and sometimes the troupe is not busy, and will make one or two for others." ”

In the end, Di Renjie took the troupe master back to Dali Temple, pointed to the Hua Dan puppet and asked, "Do you know it?" ”

The dagger of the Hua Dan puppet has been taken away, the blood on the face is still there, and the class leader saw that he knelt on the ground with soft legs and a pale face: "My lord, the grass people have never made puppets of human height, please Mingjian!" ”

A guard walked in from the side door and whispered in Di Renjie's ear: "My lord, the head of Chunyi Building likes to make money, and others jokingly call him an iron rooster." Usually either guarding the restaurant or going to the puppet house to listen to the play, rarely go to other places, and there has been no conflict with people recently. ”

Di Renjie looked at the trembling troupe master below, and said in a deep voice: "Xu Si, this official orders you to present the puppets you made and the list of their buyers, and do it quickly." ”

In order to prevent Xu Si from running away, Di Renjie also sent two subordinates to guard him, and as for the people in the theater, they can't go out for the time being until all suspicions are cleared.

……

Seeing this, the audience is already confused.

Puppet kills, shouldn't the camera shoot puppets?

What are you always doing around Di Renjie, could it be that the puppet's next target is him?

Sudden panic.

The little brother with the blindfold tugged at the corners of his mouth and comforted the temporary companion next to him: "No, even if it is a fantasy Tang Dynasty, Di Renjie is also an official of the imperial court, and he will not be easily led." ”

The woman moved the corners of her mouth, and her voice was a little weak: "Why don't I think it's like a supernatural movie, but like a ......"

Solve the case.

The little brother with the blindfold was still there and guessed with great interest: "Do you want to be like that Bao Zheng, judging the yang day and the yin at night?" Only by avenging the grievances of the wronged soul can its anger be appeased? ”

It is worthy of being a guide, and another shortcut is this.

Hearing the little brother with the blindfold say this, many people showed a sudden realization expression, and only a few people felt weird, but the movie, it is impossible to reveal the mystery as soon as it comes up, so wait patiently and wait to watch.

……

Just when Di Renjie led his subordinates to track down the traces of those puppets, something happened in the bustling West Market again, and this time the disturbance was not small.

In another spring drunken restaurant, the first floor of the lobby was full of guests, and the storyteller slapped the wood on the stage and told the story of a soul who asked for his life.

It was obviously the time when the sun was shining, but the guests listened to it with a chill all over their bodies, and were frightened by the subtle plot in the story.

Squeak –

The sound of wood grinding against each other was heard from nowhere, and it was very noticeable in the quiet lobby.

The strong man who was drinking looked over dissatisfied, and at the corner of the stairs, a puppet of human height stood there quietly, smiling and looking down at everyone.

"Shopkeeper, in addition to storytelling, you also arranged a puppet show today?"

The strong man's face was flushed with drinking, his body swayed like a tumbler, and he shouted with his tongue open. Everyone turned their heads and was very excited to find a puppet.

As the name suggests, as long as you have a cup of belly, you can fascinate the drunkard.

Their brains turned into mush, and naturally they forgot that there had been a murder just two days ago.

"The shopkeeper is interesting enough, wait for the gentleman to finish the book and perform on stage, and then bring me a pot of wine."

"Yes, yes, here's a pot too."

One of the drunkards pointed to the puppet's eyes and said vaguely, "It moves." ”

The shopkeeper who heard the movement rushed to hear the news, saw the puppet's face change, and turned around to run to the backyard.

The puppet, which was still stiff just now, turned its head instantly, twisted the joints of its limbs, made a creaking sound, and chased after it like lightning.

It pressed the shopkeeper's neck, and the chubby man slammed to the ground, struggling face down.

The puppet sat on his waist and stomped on the fat man's limbs with a creaking sound.

In close contact, the shopkeeper could even feel the other party's cold body as stiff as a stone.

I saw the puppet take out a dagger, aim it at the back of the shopkeeper's heart, and stab it fiercely.

"Ahhhh

The terrible scream woke everyone up, and the laughing man's body went limp, and he slipped off the chair, seeing that the shopkeeper was out of breath, and blood rushed out of the wound, forming a pool of blood.

"Dead people, puppets killed!" Someone screamed, softening into a puddle of mud and desperately crawling out.

The strong man who was the first to speak shouted: "Lao Tzu has been traveling south and north for many years, what kind of puppet killing, it's just a little trick of the play, I want to lie to your grandfather and me when I put on makeup!" ”

He sneered and stood up and threw the jug at it with all his might. The gray flask smashed into the back of the puppet's head, and there was a sonorous sound of weapons intersecting.

The puppet's movements paused, and he slowly turned back.

Its body was still sitting on the shopkeeper's body, its neck turned one hundred and eighty degrees, and it looked at the strong man with a strange smile.

How is it possible for a person's head to turn behind him!

"Ahhh

A group of guests screamed heartbreakingly, scrambling to crawl out, not daring to stay longer for a moment. The strong man trembled like chaff, and the whites of his eyes rolled and fainted.

When Di Renjie heard the news, the scene was already a mess. Cups, saucers, and wine cups shattered to the floor, and broken food was everywhere, slipping on them if you weren't careful.

The puppet sat on the top of the shopkeeper with its head turned, and there were many curious passers-by at the door.

Di Renjie motioned to his subordinates to move the puppet down, and accidentally opened his sleeves when he moved, and there was indeed gray wood underneath.

There was a loud inhalation at the door, and everyone was terrified.

It's really a puppet! It's not people pretending!

"My lord, the puppet in the evidence room is gone." Chen Yu's expression was very solemn, "It 'ran' out." ”

In broad daylight, there were hundreds of guests in the entire lobby, and everyone witnessed the puppets running out to kill people.

Their vows are true:

"Really! Its limbs can be twisted to the point that no human can reach, even its neck! ”

"I smashed it with a flask, but it sounded like a stone."

"It walks in an uncoordinated manner, like a puppet singing and being manipulated by silk threads!"

Master Wei Song looked at everyone's testimony and frowned: "My lord, do you say they are lying, or is there really a puppet asking for his life?" ”

Di Renjie touched his beard: "Sometimes, the eyes of drunkards are not credible. ”

"But there were people who weren't drunk, and so were their testimonies."

"So, the key is still on the puppet."

The two of them turned their eyes to the puppet in the corner, their expressions thoughtful.

When he went to court the next day, Wu Zetian reprimanded Di Renjie, this time the noise was too big, and the rumors of puppets asking for their lives were everywhere, and many shops were afraid of closing their doors, and people were panicked, which was naturally very unfavorable to the ruler.

In the movie theater, seeing the puppet's head turned 180 degrees, many viewers clapped their hands proudly.

"Steady! This is definitely a puppet, it can't be a real person, the ancients couldn't do it! ”

Many people still remember the ghost bride with two faces, one in front and one in the back, and she was able to turn her head by using high-tech instruments to cause visual differences, which was not the case in ancient times.

"I don't know why, I always feel hairy when I look at those puppets, is it the uncanny valley effect?"

"Wu Zetian is Tang Hanyu again, is she going to become Wu Zetian's professional household?"

"Damn, this wave is a combination of supernatural and case-solving! Director Jing's creativity is also too talented! You'd better burn the puppets first, and what if you run out again! ”

"Datang's crime-solving theme, there is no movie of this type in the interstellar, it's really interesting!"

In the court, some people also proposed to burn the puppets, and the case could be investigated slowly, but burning the puppets first could prevent more people from dying.

This proposal was stopped by Di Renjie, and the man who did not change his face before Taishan collapsed bowed to Wu Zetian: "For the two murders, the minister already has an eyebrow, and it will be solved in less than three days, the puppet is the key to the case, and it must not be burned." ”

Back at Dali Temple, Wei Song shook his head: "There are so many fools in the world. ”

Di Renjie smiled lightly, his eyes locked into the distance like an eagle falcon, which was the puppet troupe in Dongshi.

"Sir, do you think this case is right for people or for things?"

Wei Song didn't speak, picked up the brush and gently drew a circle on the three words of Chunyi Building.

Di Renjie stroked his palm and smiled: "Mr. knows me." Chen Yu, you go to investigate if there are people in the troupe who have any holidays with Chunyi Building. ”

The next day, a statement of the case was placed on Di Renjie's desk.

"My lord, five years ago, the wine brewed by Chunyi Lou was slightly astringent and sour, and business was sluggish, but it was only after the study that the situation of spring drunkenness improved. But there are rumors in the market that the spring drunk is not brewed in a restaurant, but a recipe that robbed someone else, and killed a family of four to get to where it is today. At that time, there was indeed a case in which a family of four died, and the case was finally closed as a fire. ”

Di Renjie's expression sank, his personality was upright, and there was no room for any sand in his eyes, if it was really as Chen Yu said, Chunyi Building was not a clean place.

"Show me the case."

Chen Yu had already prepared and took out the old case from his arms.

Mrs. Song was sixty-eight when she died.

The Song couple died in thirty and six.

Song Hu is only 14 years old.

The corpse was charred like black carbon, and it shattered at the slightest touch......

In just a few lines, they summed up their entire life, and when they died, they could not even find a complete body.

Di Renjie closed his eyes and threw his thoughts aside.

"His heart knot is the spring building, and he is drunk in spring, so we will make a bureau and invite him out."

The owner of the Spring House is going back to the countryside! Before returning to his hometown, in order to repay the kindness of the guests, he was going to give the only remaining wine in the restaurant to everyone.

This news was like a hurricane, blowing throughout Chang'an City overnight. The murder of the past few days is still vivid, and many people are so frightened that they hide in their homes and shiver.

But there is always a group of people who are not afraid of death and have no resistance to Chang'an's No. 1 wine.

Chunyi Lou is in Chang'an City, there are two in the southeast, northwest and northwest, and they don't dare to go to the West Market, so they go to the lively East Market.

A group of alcoholic guys crowded at the door of the Spring Building, lining up to drink.

"Boss, why don't you do it, even if you have ...... But we have Master Di, he will definitely catch the evil soul! ”

"It's a pity that I haven't had the usual wine again."

"The owner is benevolent, and he can study the famous wine of Chang'an, what a pity to return to his hometown."
