"This is what the murderer left behind when he took away the skull?" Sun Xiaoman said in surprise, pointing to the skull inside the pit.

Ying Wuxin nodded, "Definitely, it's so obvious, how can it be that so many skulls and skulls have disappeared at the same time, and they have disappeared so completely, they must have been taken away intentionally." ”

Li Zhengdao frowned slightly: "Even if we are sure that the murderer did it here, it will not help us in our next search for the murderer." ”

"There should be, the murderer first stole the skull here, then in the grave, and then began to attack the living, this is obviously a gradual process, have you ever wondered, why did the murderer change the goal of obtaining the skull?" Ying Wuxin groped his chin and asked.

Several people shook their heads, the three Daomen disciples, as Dao Heroes, didn't know much about things in the world, Wang Banxian was an ordinary person, how could he know about the skull.

Ying Wuxin said: "Before, we guessed that the skull might be some kind of magic weapon, but now this conclusion can be overturned, because the mode of practicing the law is fixed, what kind of skull is needed, how many years, it will definitely not change, even if it is a monster." ”

"If it is not used as a cooking utensils, then it is naturally not used as a raw material to make anything, because even if the skull is used to make drinking utensils, the raw materials used are also fixed, generally fresh skulls, it is impossible to use dead people, and the murderer began to use dead people, and later used living people, which obviously has a gradual process, and this gradual process will inevitably lead to a change in something he is engaged in, otherwise he has no need to replace the skull all the time, and it is very purposeful. ”

"From a hundred years ago, to a few decades ago, to a few years ago, to the recent, to the living, there is obviously a strong gradual process, and I don't know if you have noticed, the age of the missing people has also changed, at first they were older, then they were middle-aged, and now they have become young people, if there is a next target, I suspect that the murderer may attack the young people. ”

Sun Xiaoman said: "In this way, the murderer is methodically carrying out something similar to experimental improvement, and will constantly adjust the raw materials according to the results." ”

Bai Miaozhen said: "If this is really the case, then it is not good, the murderer may be trying some kind of practice, once it succeeds in the end, we can't predict the result." ”

"He must be stopped. Li Zhengdao said resolutely.

Ying Wuxin nodded, "Naturally, we want to stop him, but at present, we still have too little key information to lock the identity of the murderer, and the clues are all trivial things, if we want to verify them one by one, it is estimated that it will take a lot of time." ”

Li Zhengdao said solemnly: "No matter how much time it takes, we can't let go of the murderer, Brother Wuxin, at this time, we must rely on your reasoning method to point out the direction of our investigation as soon as possible, otherwise if we just wait for the rabbit, it is difficult to guarantee that the murderer will not transfer the target and attack the people in other villages, our manpower is limited, and it is impossible to protect all the villages." ”

"Let me think about it. Ying Wuxin stood in the scorching sun, his hair was already hot, but he didn't care, paced, walked around, and fell into thought.

Wang Banxian diligently held up the umbrella and followed behind.

Li Zhengdao and the three of them looked at the skeletons in the deep pit, and they also fell silent.

After a while, Ying had no intention of turning back and said, "I thought about it for a while, maybe we can probe from multiple directions, maybe one of them has a result, and it will give us a lot of help to lock up the murderer." ”

"First, what's so special about the skull, what can it be used for, and the demand is still relatively large?"

"Second, what's going on in the neighborhood that is gradually changing, and it's going to be good or bad?"

"Thirdly, whether the fresh skull is to be preserved or used, it has to go through a certain amount of treatment, and there will definitely be a peculiar smell in this process, and we can ask if there is an abnormal smell in the village. ”

"Fourth, who in the village lives alone and can move freely without being noticed by outsiders?"

Sun Xiaoman said: "The first one I said before, the skull is considered to be the place where the yang energy on the human body is the most abundant, and it may be used to make some kind of magic weapon to suppress yin and evil. However, such a magic weapon is generally not in great demand, unless a large number of people want to enter a certain yin and evil area, so much will be needed. ”

Ying Wuxin thought about it and said: "I don't rule out this possibility, but I think Senior Sister Sun can talk to the old people in the village, ask what other role the skull has, and change the attitude, some places have some methods of curing diseases that are more yin and evil, and generally will not tell outsiders, for example, I know a method of using steamed buns to dipped in blood and treating tuberculosis after baking, I don't know if it has any effect, this method is obviously informal, and the villagers generally do not talk to outsiders." ”

Sun Xiaoman said: "I have also heard some methods similar to yin and evil treatments, but most of these methods are ineffective, but the villagers are just ignorant." Besides, how can I change my attitude?"

Bai Miaozhen said: "This senior sister can use your identity to say that you can collect home remedies and give more silver, I believe that those who know will definitely say it." ”

"Okay, I'll try. Sun Xiaoman nodded.

"The first clue will be handed over to Senior Sister Sun for investigation, and the second clue will be handed over to Senior Sister Bai, you are a woman looking for some women to question, it must be more casual. "There should be no heart.

Bai Miaozhen nodded in acceptance.

"The third, I don't think it's very feasible, because this village has always smelled of dried fish and fishy, and recently the corpses have to be exhumed, and the smell of the whole village is definitely not good, but we can still ask if there are any other smells before, and this task will be handed over to the half-immortals. ”

"Howler. Wang Banxian excitedly agreed.

"The fourth trouble Brother Dao went to the village chief to ask, I was secretly using the wind listening technique to investigate, maybe the murderer would have some abnormal actions during the day. ”

Li Zhengdao nodded, "Okay, in that case, while there is still time, everyone go back and start quickly, it is best to have a result before dark." ”

The group of five returned to the village, and each of them dispersed to carry out the task for which he was responsible, and should sit in the courtyard of Guo Min in Langzhong without intention, pretending to rest, leaning against the big tree, listening to the wind unfolding, listening to the surrounding movements, talking, crying, and noisy, which came into the ears one after another.

"Brother Wuxin, come quickly, something happened to Shi Lao. Suddenly, Li Zhengdao's eager voice came into his ears.

Ying Wuxin was excited, flew up, and went straight to the source of the sound, that is, Shi Weng's house, there were a few people standing in the courtyard, and the door had been blocked, and when they saw Ying Wuxin flying over, they hurriedly made a way.

Walking into the spacious room, Li Zhengdao's voice came from the side, "Brother Wuxin, here." ”

Ying unintentionally bypassed the screen, entered the side room inside, and couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the situation inside.

On a recliner, Shi Weng's body was lying, but his head was gone, and the blood was flowing on the ground, staining a large area of red.

There were several men standing next to them, their faces full of grief, some wiping tears from their eyes.

"I came to visit, and Shi Lao's eldest son brought me in, and I saw this scene. Li Zhengdao introduced.

Ying Wuxin clenched his fists all of a sudden, gritted his teeth, and his eyes were spewing fire, and at the same time as they launched their investigation, the old village chief was actually killed and his head was cut off.

"Is the head still there?" Ying Wuxin asked.

"I looked for it, but I didn't. ”

"How did the murderer get in?"

Li Zhengdao pointed to the door next to him and said: "Shi Lao thought that there were many people in his family, so he didn't close the door immediately, and the result became what it is now." ”

"It's all my fault, I should have sealed the door sooner so my dad wouldn't have had an accident. A middle-aged man knelt down, hugged Shi Weng's leg in pain and cried, and the other people standing on the side also cried.

Ying Wuxin didn't stop it, stepped forward and smelled it, Shi Weng's body also had a peculiar fragrance, and he didn't have to think about it to know that it was the kind of incense that Sun Xiaoman confirmed.

I touched the temperature of the corpse, and it was already cold, which means that the corpse has been dead for a while, and the approximate time should be after they left the village.

Li Zhengdao motioned to leave first, and the two of them left the room together and stopped at the corner of the courtyard.

"Brother Wuxin, according to your speculation, the murderer's target at this stage should be a teenager, how did he become Shi Lao killed. ”

Ying Wuxin shook his head slightly, "I don't know very well, according to the reasoning, it shouldn't be like this, but it's not absolute, the murderer is hiding in the village, maybe he knows that we are investigating, and the old village chief happens to know something, then he will naturally attack the old village chief, this is killing people." ”

This speculation is reasonable, but there is no evidence to support it at present, and Li Zhengdao has not refuted it, "If this is the case, will other people who know some secrets also be killed?"

"It's very likely, so then we have to speed up the action, you speed up the investigation, and I listen to the whole village, I don't believe that the murderer can continue to commit murder. "You should grit your teeth without intention.

Not much, a young man walked over, weeping and wiping his tears, and said angrily: "It's all you, it's all you who killed grandpa, you all get out, get out of our village." ”

A middle-aged man walked out of the room and scolded the young man angrily: "Wen Luo, how can you talk, how can you talk to all the Daoists like this, quickly apologize." ”

As he spoke, the middle-aged man smiled and bent down and said, "The child is too sad, don't mind, don't mind, don't mind." ”

"What do I apologize for, that is, they killed Grandpa, Brother Shi Kang, and Uncle Big Eyes, without them coming to our village, how could so many people die in our village in such a short time, and it was not they who harmed them. The young man wept and said with grief.

"Bastard, how can we speak, without Daoxia to help us catch monsters, what will become of our village in the end, have you thought about it? How many people have disappeared in the village, and we can't even find the corpses, if it weren't for a few Daoists, how could we find the corpses. The middle-aged man stared, his face was full of iron, and reprimanded the young man.
