Chapter 30: shredded cocoon
"Sir, can this case really be closed?"
On the way back from the barren temple to the inn, Monk Ma couldn't hold back and asked in a low voice.
Qin Shaoyou didn't rush to answer. He glanced around to make sure there were no outsiders nearby, and then said, "Closed the case? It's early. The victim is fake, and the criminal is fake. Do you think this case can be closed?"
"Are both victims and criminals fake?"
Everyone was stunned.
They clearly saw a rain of bones, and saw the thief being beaten to death by the angry people, how could they all be fake?
They couldn't have seen, heard, and felt before, they were all hallucinations, right?
Qin Shaoyou didn't give up, he directly stated his findings:
"Those bones are not human bones, but dog bones. Several thieves are also living corpses that have been dead for several days and are controlled by magic refining."
The wrestlers became more and more shocked, but the faces of Zhu Xiucai and Monk Ma showed the expressions of sudden realization.
Qin Shaoyou noticed it and asked them, "Did you find anything?"
Zhu Xiucai nodded and took out a few sharp dog teeth from his sleeve pocket.
"I found this in the mouth of a skull. I've been wondering why there are dog teeth in human skulls? Now I know, those human bones are all fakes pieced together with dog bone fragments!"
Monk Ma said: "I found corpse energy on the bodies of those thieves. I thought it was caused by their cultivation of evil and sorcery, but after listening to the adults, I realized that they had long since died and were practiced by others. become a corpse."
The words of Zhu Xiucai and Monk Ma are equivalent to corroborating Qin Shaoyou's discovery.
In addition to being surprised, the wrestlers also breathed a sigh of relief.
Because these discoveries at least prove one thing - the missing children are very likely still alive.
The Luxians soon had new questions.
"Why do real thieves play such a show? What is their purpose?"
Zhu Xiucai analyzed: "They should want to cover up certain things, such as the real whereabouts of the missing children, etc., but also want the government and the public to think that the case is over, so as to cover up what they will do next. "
Everyone thought it was reasonable when they heard it, and Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but nod his head.
Monk Ma even boasted: "Xiusai, when you don't want to think about vulgar things, you are still very powerful, and your brain turns fast."
Zhu Xiucai was humble.
"It's not me, but the adults. What I said, adults have long thought of it."
Qin Shaoyou looked bewildered: I thought of it long ago? What am I thinking?
Zhu Xiucai continued: "Your Excellency told Sun Zhixian that the case could be closed because he didn't want to startle the snake.
At the same time, I also want to paralyze the real thieves, make them think that their plan is successful, induce them to make the next move, and expose the clues, so that we can find them and lock them! "
"It turns out that the adults have thought so much and made so many arrangements. It's really amazing."
The eyes of Monk Ma and all the wrestlers looking at Qin Shaoyou were filled with admiration from the bottom of their hearts.
Qin Shaoyou became more and more confused.
Although he did suspect that the thief wanted to hide something, he didn't think so much or so far.
He didn't tell Sun Zhixian the truth because he saw that Sun Zhixian and others were in a hurry to close the case.
He didn't say anything at all, he secretly investigated.
He didn't think about taking the plan and conversely calculating the enemy...
However, it seems pretty good to just count it?
Qin Shaoyou was thinking when Monk Ma looked down at the dog in his arms and asked a new question.
"If the missing children were really turned into dogs by animal creation, why would the thieves let them run around? Also, what is the purpose of the thieves to turn people into dogs?"
These questions are also confusing to Qin Shaoyou.
Zhu Xiucai glanced at Qin Shaoyou and said with a smile, "Actually, the adults already knew the answers to these questions, and they also hinted to us."
come again?
Qin Shaoyou subconsciously said that I didn't.
But before he could speak, Zhu Xiucai continued:
"Remember what the adults said when they bought this dog? The adults were hinting at that time that the thieves turned children into dogs in order to let them die at the hands of their relatives.
Although I don't know what the thief's specific purpose is, this way of dying will definitely cause great resentment, and even give birth to a ghost!
So I guess that the thieves are either raising ghosts, or planning some kind of terrible curse or cult ritual! "
Everyone nodded in unison, and they all felt that this analysis was reasonable.
They also remembered the news they heard from the city gate guards when they entered Mianyuan County, that wild dogs like to sneak into the dwellings.
In fact, these dogs are not running around.
They wander around the houses and walk in front of people because they want to go home and let their parents and relatives recognize them.
Unfortunately, their parents didn't even know that the dog wandering around them was their child.
"My lord's analytic ability, which is like peeling a cocoon, really amazes us."
After everyone figured this out, they praised Qin Shaoyou again and again.
Qin Shaoyou, who they praised, even had self-doubt: So I have already analyzed so many situations? Also hinted at you guys? But why don't I know this myself?
While talking, the group returned to the outside of the inn.
A wrestler who was supposed to be looking at his luggage in the inn was looking out the door.
Seeing them from a distance, this wrestler quickly walked up to meet them.
"My lord, Zhang Shilang's mansion has sent someone to look for you."
Qin Shaoyou was a little surprised: "Did you say you were looking for us to do something?"
Lux said, "I said I want to find you to redeem the dog."
Qin Shaoyou immediately turned around and instructed Monk Ma, "Monk, give this dog to Xiucai."
Then he said to Zhu Xiucai, "Find a place to hide."
"Okay."
After Zhu Xiucai took the dog, he quickly disappeared on the street corner.
Qin Shaoyou led the crowd into the inn, and as expected, he saw the two servants of Zhang's house who had sold dogs to them before.
When the two saw their return, they hurriedly stood up to greet them, and took out a piece of silver.
"Several adults, this is the money you bought the dog. We want to redeem the dog you bought earlier."
Qin Shaoyou pretended to be surprised: "Why is this? Didn't we say before that your little son is too frightened to eat dog-hearted and dog-meat? Why do you still want him to eat?"
"It's not food." The two quickly explained, "My little master said that the dog helped him find it from the deserted temple, and he wanted to take good care of it in return."
"It's not easy for your little son to understand the truth of repaying gratitude at a young age~www.readwn.com~."
Qin Shaoyou praised a few words, and then asked, "But how does he know that the dog we bought was the one that helped him find it home?"
One person said: "My little master has talked about many characteristics, which are completely consistent with the dog you bought."
Another person said: "When we were looking for a dog, we met a butcher who sold it to us. He said that the dog he sold to us was caught at the back door of our house, which is the difference between the little owner and the dog. place."
Qin Shaoyou nodded and said again, "Then why didn't he bring the dog into the house when he returned home?"
"Probably because he was so excited at the time that he forgot?"
The two servants didn't know the exact reason either, it was pure guesswork.
Seeing that they really didn't know, Qin Shaoyou stopped interrogating them and pretended to be very sorry.
"We also want to give the dog back to your little son. It's a good story. Unfortunately, we went to the deserted temple before, and we encountered demons and ghosts, and the dog ran away in the chaos. Why don't you go near the deserted temple? Go around, maybe you can find the dog."
The two servants of Zhang residence looked at each other.
Because Qin Shaoyou and the others really didn't have that dog by their side, they had no choice but to leave and try their luck near the barren temple.
After sending them out of the inn, Qin Shaoyou returned to Datongpu's room and found that Zhu Xiucai had come back with the dog at some point.
"Sleep in another place tonight."
After Qin Shaoyou closed the door, there was no smile on his face, and he ordered coldly.
"The thieves will not be reconciled. They must have acted in the middle of the night, either stealing the dog or killing us... When it gets dark, we will sneak out quietly, keep an eye on them, and follow them."
