Chapter 822 Who said the clue was broken?!
Adding insult to injury and Turner arrived at the same place successively in different ways——
Xuanyangfang, Wannian County.
However, to add insult to injury, he was sent to jail, while Turner was taken by his uncle to visit the county captain to look for more clues to the case.
But things are not that simple.
Chang'an is a huge city with millions of soldiers and civilians living in it. Even if there are layers of security agencies, they can only reduce crime incidents as much as possible, but they cannot completely eliminate them.
As the chief security officer of Wannian County, it is unrealistic for the county lieutenant to remember all these cases.
In particular, what Turner is looking for is not a vicious crime, but a disappearance case.
How could the county captain keep these things in his mind every day? If it weren't for the special person and place that disappeared this time, the county captain wouldn't have asked about it at all.
So the county lieutenant once again gave them a voucher and asked them to check the records library on their own.
Then Turner followed the four Wuhou to the Wannian County Records Library.
Seeing the stacks of files on the stacked bookshelves, he immediately felt his scalp numb——
Do you need to find the year of the monkey and the month of the horse?
Fortunately, the scribes from the archives showed up in time and saved them the time of searching for the files.
All the cases that happened in Wannian County, whether they happened to princes and nobles or to beggars on the streets, whether they happened 10 years ago or yesterday, the scribe kept them all in his mind.
As soon as Turner mentioned the "disappearance case without any clues", the ordinary-looking clerk did not hesitate for a second and immediately led them to a bookshelf, picked up a stack of files, and opened the book in a few seconds.
He rummaged through it to find the one he was looking for and handed it to Turner.
Then move to another bookshelf and repeat the previous action again.
After taking down the second file, he stopped moving and said confidently: "These are the only two unsolved disappearance cases this year."
Turner picked up the file and read it quickly.
These two missing cases, probably because the missing people were ordinary people, obviously did not attach much importance to them. They only recorded the person who reported the case, the time when the family reported the case, and the approximate time of disappearance. In addition, they were the possible missing locations: one on the road.
Zhengfang, one is in Dunhuafang.
For Turner, this information is basically enough.
He didn't expect to get more specific information from the file. After all, that information would most likely have to be seen using [Spirit Vision].
Next, he rushed to Daozhengfang non-stop, found the missing person's home, turned on his spiritual vision and quickly scanned around. When no clues were found, he immediately unfolded the map and followed the missing person's way to work outside the city.
And things progressed more smoothly than he expected - before he had gone far, he saw vague black lines in the air, which immediately reminded him of the black shadow he had seen in the Jiaofang Department before, so he decisively followed and looked for it.
past.
After searching, I found an alley less than 100 steps away from the east wall of Daozhengfang.
In the eyes of several Wu Hous, this alley was unremarkable, but in Turner's eyes, a brutal and inhumane "hunt" was taking place.
The victim was instantly knocked down by the black shadow, but although his throat was clearly bitten, he was not killed immediately. Instead, he brutally cut open his abdomen, dug out two kidneys, and carefully placed them under the east wall again.
After completing these tasks, the black shadow returned to the original route, pounced on the victim's body and began to chew on it.
Turner couldn't bear to look directly, so he turned off his spiritual vision and walked all the way to the east wall of Daozhengfang, but there was nothing there, and he didn't see the kidney that the black shadow had put down.
He rested for a moment, turned on his spiritual vision again, and sure enough, he saw the two non-existent kidneys again.
"Did you find any clues?" Uncle followed up and asked.
Turner nodded, "We'll talk about it later, let's go to the next place first."
This time it is the city in the southeastern corner of Chang'an City: Dunhuafang, close to Furong Garden and Qujiang Pool.
The investigation experience of Dunhuafang was exactly the same as that of Daozhengfang: following the looming black lines in the air, Turner found his way to the southeast corner of Dunhuafang and once again witnessed a cruel "predation".
This time the black shadow also cut out part of the internal organs before beginning to devour the victim.
As for this part of the internal organs, Turner searched it using the external link on the panel before he was sure what it was - it was a liver.
Turner did not hide anything and told his uncle and several other Wuhou the clues he had discovered.
But after that, things reached a deadlock.
He did get a very key clue: within a month, three serial murders with highly consistent characteristics occurred in succession, and each time the murderer took out part of the victim's internal organs.
But who is the murderer? Why did he do it? How did he do it?
Turner could not answer any of these questions.
So the task got stuck.
When his uncle asked him what he wanted to check next, he thought about it for a while and came up with no idea.
But his uncle did not complain. Instead, he took him to the county captain to report the information, and then took him home to rest.
After arriving home, he not only provided him with information about his sister Xinxin, but also gave him a jade pendant, saying it was left by his sister.
According to my uncle, my sister is also a magical girl.
Miraculously, he ran around Chang'an before he was 10 years old and couldn't be locked up, but he never encountered anything bad.
At most, sometimes I ran away to nowhere, and when I came back, my face and body were covered in dust and looked dirty.
But after taking a shower and changing clothes, she is a cutie that everyone loves.
They tried to teach her not to run around, and she promised to be good every time, but when she turned around she disappeared.
Go ahead, it’s not your own, and the little girl is so cute that you can’t do it at all.
As a result, after learning winemaking at the age of 10, she got completely out of control. At first, her family even visited her apprenticeship from time to time, fearing that she would be bullied.
Later, I gradually got used to her running around outside, and even came home less and less.
——It was normal for a woman in the Tang Dynasty to get married and have children at the age of 14. After that, her younger sister came home less and less, and only occasionally sent letters back. It was not a very strange thing.
"This jade pendant was left behind when she came back when she was 14 years old. I'll give it to you now." The uncle looked at Turner and warned: "After you find Xinxin, you must bring her back to see her. We all miss her.
"
Turner nodded, not planning to see the guest room that his uncle had vacated for him, but planning to go directly to the next stop - [Orchid Wine Shop].
However, when his uncle saw that he was about to leave, he stopped him, handed him a book, and said, "There are thugs making trouble in the city, so you must be more careful."
"I originally wanted to teach you personally, but since you are eager to find your heart, let's try to learn it on your own."
Turner looked at the book in his hand and found that it was an introductory book on stick techniques - [Vajra Demon-Conquering Stick].
So I thanked him and accepted it decisively.
The question of whether to learn or not will be discussed later. There is no way of saying that the reward is given to you and you don’t need it. It can be regarded as a tack.
What is really important is the jade pendant carved in the shape of Pixiu——
[Weishengpei]: Wear it with you to ward off evil spirits.
Effect 1: A small increase in the player's probability of seeing through illusions.
Effect 2: A small amount of evil-repelling effect.
Effect 3: Slightly improve the player's luck.
Effect 4: When the player is lucky within fifty steps, the jade pendant will glow slightly.
Effect five: When the player is in danger within twenty steps, the jade pendant will vibrate on its own.
(Note 1: This jade pendant can be upgraded. Players are asked to explore the upgrade method by themselves.)
(Note 2: This effect can be masked by more advanced effects.)
(Note 3: This effect is invalid for other players.)
(Note 4: With the power of Pixiu, you can defeat the tiredness of victory.)
Turner still doesn’t know the specific effect of this jade pendant, but——
That’s five entries!
As we all know: the more entries, the stronger the equipment!
Turner happily put on the jade and set off to Orchid Wine Shop for the next step.
As for the case... he had no choice anyway, he could only hope that the game developers would be ethical and provide further clues later.
*
Unlike Turner who had no clue about the case, Daxia players quickly discovered the clues.
"The lungs of Guangzhaifang, the kidneys of Daozhengfang, the liver of Dunhuafang..." Xia Yi combed through the clues she obtained and quickly came up with several ideas -
"I remember that the human internal organs are closely related to the Five Elements theory in Chinese medicine. Will it have anything to do with the case?"
"If it matters, where is the [spleen]? Where is the [heart]?"
"[The heart] should be very special. Is it in a special place?"
"What is the murderer's purpose? To curse? To make elixirs? To practice evil methods?"
"Then the victims should not be random, their birthdays and horoscopes may also be very special!"
…
As a pure Daxia native, Xia Yi instantly had a series of associations with the case.
In her opinion, the clues are not broken at all, and there are so many things that need to be investigated!
