MTL - Card Room-Chapter 480
Chapter 480
Shao Qingge and Ye Qi are hanging out on the street, and people from Qingfeng Town are busy during the day. Ye Qi noticed sharply that there were many children holding a red rattle in their hands, and they wobbled when they walked, with a clear and beautiful voice.
Ye Qi saw several children gather together to play, he walked to a little boy, leaned over and looked at him and asked, "You rattle is very fun, where did you buy it?"
The child pointed to the street in front of him, and said with a milky voice: "My mother bought it from Grandpa Zhang. Brother, do you want to play this?"
Ye Qi smiled and put a piece of candy in the child's hand and said, "Thank you, I will buy one too."
The two came to the end of the street in the direction of the children. Sure enough, they saw a shop specializing in children's toys, colorful faceted people, all kinds of beautiful marbles, and a lot of rattles hanging on the walls.
The old man who sells toys should be around fifty years old, with all white hair, long beard, wearing a blue cloth that fades to a faded face, smiling, looking very loving. Shao Qingge took Ye Qi to take a step forward, took out a piece of silver from his arms and handed him, whispering "Old man, buy me a rattle."
The old man put away the silver and found a large amount of silver for Shao Qingge. He said, "There are many patterns painted on the rattle. You can choose it yourself."
Shao Qingge took a closer look. Many patterns were indeed painted on the drum's drum surface. The most classic one is the zodiac.
Ye Qi's eyes lit up and asked curiously, "If the children in the family belong to tigers, do parents usually buy rattles painted with small tigers?"
The old man smiled and touched his beard. "Yes, what is the family status of your child, you can buy one for it."
Shao Qingge looked at Ye Qi and asked "what are you?"
Ye Qi coughed a little, "It's a monkey."
Shao Qingge picked up a rattle with a little monkey on it, smiled and handed it to Ye Qi, and then said to the old man, "Our old boy has a childlike innocence. The rattle was bought for him."
The old man was puzzled and seemed to be thinking, is it appropriate for you to play this kind of thing as an adult
Ye Qiqian took the rattle with a smile, and played with it in his hand. He asked curiously, "By old man, are there many shops selling rattles in the town?"
The old man shook his head. "As far as my family is concerned, I made these myself."
Shao Qingge followed up and asked, "Your rattle is really exquisite, is there a child in town?"
The old man looked proud. "That's natural. My craftsmanship is not something that ordinary people can learn. It can be said that most people in this town have bought gadgets I made."
Shao Qingge and Ye Qi looked at each other, and it seemed that this one was the key story nc.
Ye Qi asked softly, "Uncle, you have been in town for so many years, but you know what happened to the famine 20 years ago. My uncle Zhang, who lives in Qingfeng Town, heard that he was hungry 20 years ago. died."
The old man's face changed suddenly when he heard the word "famine". He sighed and said, "That year was really miserable. Not only our town, but the nearby Qingzhou and Yuezhou, are all in famine. If there is some food at home, I also Almost starved to death. A lot of people are eating bark and leaves, and some people who die at home, just eat the meat of the dead and boil it over. "
Ye Qi was frightened by this. He experienced the secret room of Spades 3 when he survived by eating leaves. The gatekeeper let him survive in the nightmare secret room for 15 days. He almost couldn't persevere. It is conceivable that if it was months of hunger, what would people become like? The thing about drinking human blood is not surprising.
Shao Qingge handed back the broken silver that the old man had found to him, and said to him, "Old man, there was famine that year. Have you heard of anyone who deliberately killed or ate human flesh"
The old man took the money, nodded solemnly, and mysteriously leaned into Shao Qingge's ear and said, "The pigs, sheep and cattle in the town were already robbed. When they couldn't find food, some people set up a gang. , Specifically looking for those who ca n’t resist, take them in a circle, and when the animals are raised, they cut meat from them when they are hungry. "
Ye Qi heard hair all over her body, and it was really hard to endure hunger, but let him eat human flesh instead of starving to death. What's more, it is to raise the same kind of animals directly as animals, and to cut some meat to eat when hungry is more cruel than murder.
Shao Qingge said in a deep voice, "What happened to those people?"
The old man shook his head with a bitter smile. "They probably knew that it was unreasonable to do so. When they came out to catch people, they were wearing black clothes and masks. No one had seen their true colors. At that time, everyone was insecure. People dare to do more business. After the famine passed, most of the people in the town died, and not many people knew about it. "
He looked around and lowered his voice cautiously. "If you inquire about what happened 20 years ago, I would advise the two of you not to be too curious. Looking at the age of the two, your cousin should be very young, and must have been starved to death." . "
Shao Qingge said, "Father asked us to listen to Uncle Cousin's news. If Uncle Cousin really passed away, we should go to the grave to worship and burn some paper money for him."
The old man shook his head quickly. "Don't go. The bodies of people who starved to death were thrown in the mass grave. I heard that it was not clean and there were ghosts in the middle of the night. People in our town never went to mass grave."
Shao Ye looked at each other, Ye Qi smiled and said, "I know, thank you uncle"
It was at this time that Xiao Lou's voice came from the headphones of the two of them, allowing them to return to the inn as soon as possible. Shao Qingge also felt that this matter was unusual and immediately returned with Ye Qi.
Xiao Lou pressed the headset and asked, "Everyone is here"
Shao Qingge said, "I and Ye Qi are back."
Chu Huaying said, "I forced several wandering beggars in an alley and got some clues."
Gui Yuanzhang said, "I went to the local academy to investigate. Rest assured, I am wearing an invisible cloak and can protect myself."
Yu Hanjiang very much appreciated the efficiency of his teammates. He simply said, "Okay, let's summarize the clues we know first, and we can go to the ghost town to investigate in the evening."
Ye Qi said positively, “Let ’s talk first. We found the boss who sold rattles in the town and got two clues. First, the zodiac was painted on the drum ’s drum surface, which usually corresponds to the children ’s zodiac; second, It was the famine twenty years ago that someone had set up a mysterious organization to catch those who had no resistance and put them in captivity for use as livestock. "
Xiao Lou was shocked by the famine in his heart when he heard this. It may be difficult for modern people to imagine the feeling of not having a meal for several months. Xiao Lou once heard people talk about the chaos of famine, and there are indeed "people eating people" This terrible thing happened. It ’s still good to eat the dead, and it ’s too cruel to set up a special organization to eat the living and raise them to be animals.
Chu Huaying added, "I found a lame tramp. This gang is called a hound. They have a very ferocious wild dog. They smell people and look for targets. They usually come and go at night. They only catch resistance. Weak old people, children, and women come to captivity. Those in captivity are called human animals. They are hungry to cut meat, and thirsty to drink blood. "
Human beings are those who treat humans as edible animals
Lu Jiuchuan couldn't help but scolded, "Fuck, circle the same class and eat, this **** is not as good as a beast."
Yu Hanjiang frowned and said, "Where is the old one?"
Gui Yuanzhang said, “I found the classmate of Zhao ’s eldest son, Zhao Zeping, at the college. I can be sure that Zhao Zeping was married eight years ago. He married a woman from Qingzhou, whose surname is Qin. It was very beautiful. The two gave birth to a son a year after their marriage. His mother also disappeared three years ago. Her family also came to the door. "
After synthesizing this information, Xiao Lou analyzed that "the great famine 20 years ago, the mysterious gang raised the rebellious elderly, children and women as human beings, eating their meat and drinking their blood, which was extremely cruel. Those The captives experienced terrible pain before Ling Chi ’s death. If someone happened to escape, or if some of their relatives knew these things, returning to Qingfeng Town to retaliate is the reasonable motive for committing the crime. "
Yu Hanjiang added, "The murderer is meticulous and possesses a magic technique. He can control living and dead bodies, and he can act according to his instructions. The specific control method is still unclear to us. But what is certain is that the Zhao family and Chen My family, all in the rainy night three years ago, was controlled by him to take the initiative to go to the mass grave. Xiao Lou was anxious to call everyone back just now, but also feared that the murderer would control one of our teammates, after all, the enemy was dark , I ’m thinking, I still have to be careful. "
Xiao Lou went on to say, "After leading those people to the mass grave, the murderers followed the famine of the year and starved everyone to death. During this period, they might also control the zombies to scare those people and keep them in a state of fear and hunger. Our autopsy found that the deceased's face was terrified, and there was no food left in the stomach and duodenum, which could justify this speculation. "
Yu Hanjiang said, "There are some people in the Zhao Family's Lingtang. From the name of the spirit position, the biggest possibility is that Zhao's wife and son Zhao Zeping's wife and children were not killed in the Zhao's door extinction. Perhaps she happened to escape the murderer's palm. And went back to decorate the hall, secretly incense the family. She must know something. "
He paused, and said, "In addition, the two missing people have rattles at the same time. It is not a coincidence. After all, all children in the town will buy a rattle. But if it is not a coincidence, then the rattle is a key prop clue. It may be related to the murderer. "
Xiao Lou took out the rattle touched by the Zhao family and said, "The pattern on the drum is a little tiger. The children of the Zhao family should belong to the tiger and Liu bridge. Which one did you find at the Chen family?"
Liu Qiaodao "also painted a little tiger."
Xiao Lou was stunned. "How come it can be seen from the news that the seniors found out that Zhao Zeping was married eight years ago and gave birth seven years ago; and Chen Yu of the Chen family, the scene of his wife's birth, we saw in the ghost town at night After that, it was exactly rainy night three years ago. The two children are four years old. The unreasonable zodiac pattern on the rattle is the same. "
Ye Qi looked at the rattle with a monkey pattern in his hand and said, "It's wrong. The old man who sells toys has the rattles of the Chinese zodiac, and the price is the same. As a parent, you must buy the corresponding one for the baby. Toys, no one would buy a tiger zodiac pattern for children who belong to monkeys. The two rattle patterns appear the same, do n’t they? "
Yu Hanjiang whispered, "It was left by the murderer."
As soon as the voice fell, a clear voice suddenly came out of the window. The sound was crisp and sweet, and the "dangdang" sound of the projectile hitting the drum surface seemed to penetrate all barriers and reach the hearts of the people.
As the sound rang, the surroundings suddenly became extremely quiet.
That was the sound of the rattle. ,, everyone remember to collect the URL or remember the URL, the URL, free and fastest update without anti-theft, no anti-theft error report, seeking a book and chatting with friends
