Chapter 1124: Bone-picking and cannibalism case closed
Jin An's words made several people present gasp in surprise.
Indeed, it is natural for dogs to pick up bones.
There is also a saying in folklore that old dogs become spirits and learn to walk upright on two legs. For this reason, folk have also found a quick identification method, which is to throw a bone on the ground and see if the dog will lie on the ground.
Grab the bone.
People will definitely not lie down on the ground when they see bones, only dogs will.
The old Taoist priest's words made Commander Zhang and Fatty Li stunned for a moment, while they lamented that the world is full of wonders.
Jin An kicked out a stone. The stone made a loud sound, cut through the night sky at high speed, and disappeared under the night.
Not long after, they heard the dog's feet being pinched by the door and howling in pain. When they caught up with the old dog digging the grave, they saw an old dog lying motionless on the ground with an extra lump on its forehead.
There was a lot of blood from the newly injured wound.
"Will you die like this?" Fatty Li and the old Taoist priest found a tree branch and poked the old dog on the ground.
The old dog was motionless.
Fatty Li was a little suspicious and found a human leg bone stick and threw it at the old dog's mouth, but there was no reaction.
The largest number of mass graves are all kinds of human bones.
Fatty Li was shocked: "Is he really dead? If he is pretending to be dead and doesn't react when he sees the bones, isn't this a real dog but a real person?"
Then he looked at the old Taoist priest doubtfully, wondering whether what the old Taoist priest said before was true or false.
The old Taoist priest rolled his eyes and said: "Although it is a dog, it can't chew all bones. People are divided into three, six, nine, and dogs are also divided into three, six, and nine. You see that its fur is shiny and it can wear clothes. It means it has a master."
My dog, the bones you throw are not good, they are smelly, rancid and don’t even have any minced meat. You throw fresh braised rabbit legs or beef leg bones hot pot to it and see if it wakes up.”
Fatty Li blinked: "In this wilderness, where can I find fresh braised rabbit legs, beef leg bone hot pot for it, Fatty..."
The old Taoist priest rolled his eyes, sneaked around behind the butt of the old gravedigger, and then used the branch in his hand to poke hard between the two wrinkled bells, oooh!
With a scream, the old dog clamped its tail, jumped up as high as a person, and then barked at the old Taoist priest with his teeth bared.
Fatty Li's eyes gleamed: "It turns out he was really pretending to be dead."
Seeing the old dog resisting violently being pinned down by Fatty Li, the old dog kicked his legs wildly on Fatty Li, making Fatty Li scream in pain. The old Taoist priest rolled up his sleeves and rushed to help, holding down the old dog's hind legs in excitement.
.
"Daozhang Chen, do you think this old dog's eyes are glowing green? Could it be that he is the same thing as the dead monkey we encountered when we went down to the Yinyi River in Wuzhou Prefecture, and that it is a thing refined by corpse exterminators?" Fatty Li said
Still holding the old dog firmly down.
The old Taoist priest frowned and said, "No, it's not normal for these cats and dogs to have green eyes at night."
Fatty Li asked Jin An again, could this dog-like old dog be a man who knows how to build animals and wear dog skin to dig graves?
Jin An, who was inspecting the grave dug out by the old dog, shook his head and said no.
After the old dog was tied up, Fatty Li, who was covered in dirt, came over and said, "Taoist Master Jin'an, what did you find?"
Then I heard Fatty Li exclaiming: "The coffin and grave soil here are full of blood! Why did the bottom of this blood coffin collapse!"
Jin An thought for a while and then said: "That night, the bone collectors, Master Sun and Liu Yun, probably came here to collect bones. Fatty Li, can you check the information about the owner of the tomb here?"
Fatty Li said with a troubled face: "I'm afraid there's nothing we can do. This place itself is a mass grave, and the government can't control it."
Just at this time, the Criminal Investigation Department found several tomb robbing tools nearby. Well, now that we have the tools and the personnel, let's start digging.
The criminal inspectors present are all martial arts practitioners. They are already very strong. Now that they have tools in their hands, they can dig up the soil at a speed that is called wind and fire.
The first thing to be excavated was the blood coffin. After a simple cleaning, it was found that the inside of the blood coffin was filled with scriptures, but these scriptures were not modern writing, but seemed to be written thousands of years ago.
"It's strange. Although there are many ancient tombs stacked on top of each other in Daheishan, how come the coffins from thousands of years ago ended up on the top floor closest to the ground?" Fatty Li was surprised.
"Could it be that they are descendants who have moved the graves of their ancestors?"
"I see!"
Fatty Li suddenly yelled, and then he became more and more excited as he talked: "You need to pick up bones to move the tomb. Could these bone pickers be invited by the descendants of the people in the coffins to pick up and identify the bones for them, and then move the tomb to
In the new cemetery!”
Jin An took a look: "Does it take killing so many people to move a grave?"
Fatty Li languished. Indeed, if so many people had to be killed every time they moved graves and picked up bones, wouldn't it have been chaos long ago?
But Fatty Li quickly regained his energy, and he had a new idea: "Could it be because it was too old to confirm whether it was the corpse the employer was looking for, so the bone picker secretly refined a ghoul?"
, to increase the success rate of bone picking. For example, the employer's status is not low, and the offer offered is so tempting that even the bone picking master and his grandson cannot refuse, so they are so dedicated to the job... In fact, even the employer does not know
The three bone collectors have done so many evil things."
It's not like the collision of two civilizations like the Central Plains Civilization and the Western Region Civilization, so no matter how the writing evolves over the millennium, there will always be similarities. The old Taoist priest took some leaves from the locust tree, swept them around inside the blood coffin, and recognized them.
After a few characters, he was surprised and shouted: "What is written here seems to be "The Book of Savior"?"
The old Taoist priest wrote the few characters he recognized on the ground. After Jin An read them, they were indeed scriptures from the "Book of Saviors".
"It seems that the bone collectors and grandson are very unlucky. When they encounter a dead person who pretended to be a corpse from a thousand years ago, the coffin can be used to save people. It is also a blood coffin and blood and soil. The person being buried has been buried a thousand years ago.
There are signs of corpse fraud, but it has been suppressed by the "Book of Saviors" and lived peacefully underground for these years. All these changes happened a few months ago. The coffin gained popularity, causing the sleeping ancient corpse inside to be raised, and then the bones were picked up.
Both the master and the grandson ate it, and only Liu Yun escaped."
Fatty Li curiously asked: "Why didn't the blood coffin pretend to kill Liu Yun?"
The old Taoist priest thought about it and said: "This may be related to Liu Yun being a ghoul. Just like Fatty Li, you threw dead bones on the roadside to the old dog and it didn't eat it. Try throwing braised rabbit legs or beef leg bones in hot pot to see if it would eat it."
"
Gululu——
Fatty Li's stomach was pounding like thunder. He covered his stomach with a frown on his face: "Master Chen, please stop talking about braised rabbit legs and beef leg bone hot pot. You have mentioned it several times in a row. I am tired and hungry after working on it for so long in the middle of the night. I am now
All I can think about is braised rabbit legs and beef leg bone hot pot.”
As expected, there are many people and broad thinking. Fatty Li and the old Taoist priest analyzed the situation almost completely with just a few words.
The only thing left now is to find the remains of the bone picker and then follow the clues to find out the real employer behind it.
Jin An and Commander Zhang discussed it and decided to continue digging to see if they could find other clues.
But after digging for a while, I didn't find any valuable clues. I just dug out some rotten bones, including those of adults and children.
During this period, Jin'an tried several times to explore the spiritual consciousness, but the burial aura here was too thick, and the spiritual consciousness was like a stone cow entering the sea, making it difficult to move even an inch.
After digging for a while, Jin An asked everyone to stop and then jumped into the cave to personally investigate the situation below.
Boom!
roar!
A creepy corpse roar came from the bottom of the cave, and everyone felt a shock from the earth and rocks under their feet. The next moment, the cave collapsed several feet deep, and was buried by countless earth, rocks and dead bones.
"Little brother!"
"Taoist Priest Jin'an!"
The few people had just dug for a while when the earth and rocks beneath their feet shook again. Jin An returned to the ground carrying a bloody corpse and two mutilated corpses.
The two mutilated corpses, one old and one young, made everyone have vague suspicions in their minds.
As expected, Jin An said: "When I found this bloody corpse, two highly decomposed corpses that had just been dead for a few months fell at its feet. They should be the two bone collectors we were looking for."
"This bloody corpse should be the dead person buried in the blood coffin. After it ran out of the blood coffin, it has been hiding in the underground palace master's tomb that has not been discovered by the tomb robbers."
This thousand-year-old blood corpse is not a disaster in the third realm, but it is not far away from the disaster, so it has been dormant in the underground palace, waiting for the opportunity to break through. Unfortunately, it met Jin'an, a martial arts immortal, and it was destroyed once he saw it.
Sacrificed to heaven.
Just when Jin An finished speaking, he looked up at the sky and snorted coldly: "No wandering spirit dares to peek at me!"
The martial artist's immortal energy and blood exploded, like a sea of red fire rising into the sky, frightening several out-of-body souls to leave in a hurry. These souls could not be seen by ordinary people, only Jin An could see them, and they all fell towards the Great Black Mountain on the ground.
"What's wrong with Taoist Priest Jin'an?" Commander Zhang and Fatty Li looked concerned.
Jin An said it was okay. He saw that it was getting late and it would be dawn in less than half an hour, so he asked everyone to stop working and go back first.
"What should we do with the exhumed bones and blood coffin of Taoist Master Jin'an?" someone asked.
Jin An thought for a while and then said: "Take them all back first."
After saying that, Jin An pointed to the old dog on the ground: "Take this back too. Since it belongs to an owner, someone will come to claim it sooner or later."
Jin An took one last look at the Daheishan Mountain opposite, and finally did not go there, but took his people directly back home.
There are masters from Yujing Golden Tower in Daheishan. He has already understood the situation in the underworld, so there is no need to join in the fun.
…
…
As soon as we returned to the watchtower of the Criminal Investigation Department, someone immediately came to inform us that Yujing Golden Tower, Zhenguo Temple, and Tianshi Mansion were visiting one after another, and they all came to visit Jin'an, but Jin'an was not there. He sat there for a while and couldn't wait.
Jin An went back first, leaving a visiting gift before leaving.
After finishing speaking, the people in the Criminal Investigation Department all looked at the dog leash in Fatty Li's hand with strange expressions. At one end of the dog leash was an old dog with a white beard who dressed like a scholar and dressed like a dog.
Someone joked that Li Tou wanted to treat everyone to eat fragrant meat to ward off the cold and strengthen yang, which attracted more people to watch.
Old dogs understand human nature and sit on the ground and won't move away.
No matter how hard Fatty Li pulls him, he just won't leave.
It wasn't until Jin An said he wouldn't eat you that the old dog stood up again like a human spirit and took the initiative to enter the Criminal Investigation Department.
Fatty Li was stunned on the spot. He didn't even react when the dog leash slipped from his hand. The old dog actually took the dog leash and put it in Fatty Li's hand. Then he turned around and raised his head towards Fatty Li, meaning "Let's go."
Chasi.
This scene made Fatty Li even more depressed. Did he lead the dog into the Criminal Investigation Department, or did the dog lead him into the Criminal Investigation Department?
On the other hand, the people from the Criminal Investigation Department were surprised. Didn't they go out to investigate the bones of cannibal eucalyptus? Why did they bring back an old dog that looked like a human? The key is that this old dog is too humane and can lead the dog by himself.
Rope bending.
After returning to the Criminal Investigation Department, Jin An asked Fatty Li to bring him paper and pen, then drew a portrait and handed it to Fatty Li.
"This is the employer who hired three generations of bone collectors to pick up bones. If you find this employer, you can find out whose bones they want to pick up."
"Although the real culprit of cannibalism and bone-picking has been found, and the body of the real culprit has been found, this eucalyptus can be used for death. But I have always been curious about whose bones the employer behind the scenes wanted to pick up. Maybe this is the person who was targeted.
The real reason why Dali Temple is regarded as a hot potato.”
The portrait shows an ordinary middle-aged man, slightly overweight and with a black mole at the corner of his eye.
Jin An reminded: "This person may be able to disguise himself and not walk around the world with his true face. He may not be easy to find. But don't worry, you can send it to all the yamen in the capital. Pay more attention to whether there are people with similar looks."
"As for cannibalism and bone-picking, the corpse of the real murderer has been found, and the motive for the crime has been investigated clearly. It can be settled first. The case can be restarted after the employer behind it is found."
Fatty Li looked at the portrait in surprise: "Is Taoist Jin'an a ghost again? Is the employer's face seen through the dead man's obsession?"
"When did Taoist Master Jin'an become evil? I didn't even notice it."
Jin An smiled and said, "Just now you handed me the banknotes and I went into the room to draw portraits."
While Fatty Li happily took the scroll and left, the old Taoist priest who took the dog leash quietly asked Jin An: "Little brother, are you really married?"
Jin An nodded: "I'm really married."
In fact, eucalyptus itself is not complicated. Some people paid a bone collector to pick up the bones. The bone collector was not sure, so he killed people and dumped the corpses, and refined the living people into ghouls. As a result, a thousand-year-old bloody corpse was dug up in Daheishan, which caused
The whole army was wiped out, and only Liu Yun escaped because of the relationship between ghouls. Liu Yun, who escaped because he was no longer under the control of the bone picker, frequently cooked and ate others and dumped their corpses. Later, because he ate too many people, the evil spirit attacked his brain.
He had hallucinations, reported himself to the police, and was implicated in this series of bone-picking and cannibalistic eucalyptus.
The employer behind the scenes is not a bone picker, he doesn't know about the ghouls, and it is impossible for him to actively participate in killing people and cooking corpses, otherwise the obsession on the iron pot for cooking corpses will be reflected when he goes to the underworld.
Although the real murderer has been found, a suspense remains: Whose body is the employer looking for so that Dali Temple can survive?
"It's already knotted. What should I do with this old dog?" The old Taoist priest pointed to his feet.
Jin An: "Tie it at the door, waiting for the owner to come and claim it."
Soon, the details about Jin'an's exorcism, walking underworld, and compass bone search were spread in the Criminal Investigation Department. Those who did not follow felt regretful and hated themselves for their lack of vision; those who went out with Jin'an walked with their toes.
He is high-spirited and popular wherever he goes. I hope to tell you more about the details of the evening...
