Chapter 552 The Person Who Started the Formation
So Su Nanzhi could also see that these three people should also be considered as poor students in their sect.
After the Taoist priest in the dark yellow robe explained, he saw that the two policemen didn't say anything, so he snorted coldly, turned around, took a dark yellow cloth bag from his assistant, took out a stack of paper talismans from it, and burned them in the house.
In an instant, a large red rune appeared on the ground.
The disciples of the Mishan Sect who happened to be standing in the middle of the rune took two steps back as if frightened.
Feng Rui and Qin Luoshu stared at the runes on the ground with normal expressions on their faces.
They had used their Yin-Yang eyes to look at this rune before, and it was indeed drawn on the ground.
"Is this the sacrificial formation that the Taoist priest mentioned?" Feng Rui asked, "Then can you tell how the person died?"
The Taoist priest squinted his eyes and stared at the runes on the ground for a while, his expression gradually becoming strange. He didn't know why, but he took a step back and said, "This is a soul sacrifice, a sacrifice of the most sinister and evil kind."
What the Taoist priest said was correct. Generally speaking, even if someone sets up a sacrificial formation, it is at most a sacrifice of flesh and blood, which is similar to the sacrifice of pigs, sheep and cattle. Even if it involves the death of a person, it is still different.
When the soul is sacrificed, the sacrificer will never be reincarnated and will disappear from the world forever.
The Taoist priest didn't know what he saw. His lips moved and after a while he spoke, "This man's soul must have been eaten."
"Eat it?" Feng Rui frowned.
He turned to look at the little girl he brought with him. The little girl looked calm, neither surprised nor refutatative.
"This formation may seem simple, but it's definitely not something an ordinary person could create," the Taoist priest's voice echoed. "Runes and magic spells can be created by ordinary people, but activating the formation requires spiritual power. Not only ordinary people, but even those of us in this sect don't all have spiritual power."
As he said this, he glanced at the three nephews brought by the junior master from the Mishan Sect.
“…”
It just so happened that those three were just beginners. Not to mention spiritual power, they could only draw a few common and simple paper talismans. Moreover, it was still a question whether the things they drew could be used.
Three Mishan sect master nephews: "..."
I was offended.
Feng Rui didn't know whether what this person said was true or false. He said that this formation required the presence of other people to activate it.
In other words, before a person dies, there will definitely be a second person in the space where he or she lives.
So how did the second person get in and out?
Those who study criminal investigation all know that there is no such thing as an absolute closed-room murder in this world.
However, in the past few days, the fingerprints and other clues in the homes of the two deceased have been checked thoroughly. Those whose fingerprints can be found either have an alibi or do not have the ability and motive to commit the crime.
After checking again and again, they still haven't found a suspect who meets the criminal criteria. The whole case has come to a standstill, and they can't guarantee when the next victim will appear?
Feng Rui glanced at Su Nanzhi. This little girl didn’t mention this last time.
Did she not know or did she not tell him? Feng Rui lowered his eyes and thought for a few seconds, then looked up at the Taoist priest in the dark yellow robe, "Master, is there any way to find out who was there?"
"cannot."
