Chapter 404: Money is Enchanting 1
"What's the meaning?"
Upon hearing that another person had died, Qing Yanrou's smiling face suddenly turned cold.
"The Lunar New Year is coming soon, and it's the Spring Festival travel rush, so criminals are taking advantage of this opportunity to cause trouble.
Originally, the public security department should have been in charge, but they were short of manpower, so the higher-ups sent us out as well.
Then the team members discovered that these were not just ordinary criminals, but that metaphysical methods were involved.
The Spring Festival travel rush is really busy, so I'm asking you to come and help."
Ever since that incident, Lin Yaoyao has been completely convinced by Qing Yanrou.
Moreover, the two of them had dealt with each other so many times, so when something happened, the first person she thought of was her.
"You want me to work for nothing again?"
Qing Yanrou sat on the sofa beside her, picked up the hot water she had poured, took a sip and said lightly.
"How is that possible? There are salaries and subsidies."
"How many?"
Lin Yaoyao showed her the number of five fingers. Qing Yanrou didn't expect that their department was so profitable, and raised her eyebrows with satisfaction.
How could she know that this was not a salary plus subsidy that everyone could have.
It's just because of her status and her efficiency that this subsidy is specially given to her alone.
Only if things are resolved soon can everyone have an early holiday and have a peaceful New Year.
"Okay, sure."
Qing Yanrou agreed readily, and Lin Yaoyao took her directly to see the corpse.
"Initially, the deceased's girlfriend came to report her boyfriend missing, and later, with the efforts of the police, they finally found some clues.
But when they arrived, the man was already dead.”
Lin Yaoyao was talking about the case with Qing Yanrou all the way.
Ten minutes later, Special Department Morgue.
Qing Yanrou slowly lifted the white cloth covering the deceased. The deceased's face was very peaceful, and it was obvious that he had not suffered severe torture before death.
"Look at his heart."
Qing Yanrou pulled the white cloth further down, and sure enough, she saw a big hole on the left side of her heart.
"This is the talisman that was affixed to the deceased. I think this is why the expression on the deceased's face is so peaceful."
Lin Yaoyao took the talisman from the evidence bag and handed it to her.
"We have never seen this kind of talisman before, and we don't know what its specific function is."
Qing Yanrou took the evidence bag, carefully examined the talisman, and then frowned slightly.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing her frown, Lin Yaoyao felt a little uneasy.
"This is a magic talisman."
"Illusion Talisman?"
Lin Yaoyao had never heard of this kind of talisman.
“The magic talisman is a type of talisman that has been lost for a long time, not because it is difficult to draw.
However, these talismans are useless and a waste of time, and the requirements for the talisman drawer are very high, so gradually no one is willing to draw magic talismans, and thus they have been lost."
Qing Yanrou looked at it carefully over and over again for a long time, and was sure that it was the magic talisman recorded in the ancient book of Yantaiguan.
"The illusion talisman, after using it, can make people fall into a short-term illusion. This illusion can only be a good one, a bit like weaving a big pie.
The talisman's duration of effect is also very short, only half an hour, and after half an hour, you will wake up from the illusion."
"This sounds a bit like a daydream."
It was the first time that Lin Yaoyao heard of this kind of talisman, but it was indeed a bit useless.
Who wants to pay for half an hour of daydreaming?
"If you want to draw a magic talisman, you need to be quite talented in drawing talismans to be able to do so.
You can only draw three magic talismans a day at most, after that you will become exhausted and unable to draw any more talismans."
"No wonder it's lost. Who would be willing to draw this?"
Lin Yaoyao couldn't help but complain after listening to her introduction.
"So you're saying that talismans like this are only used to kill people?"
Qing Yanrou returned the evidence bag to her and went to uncover the white cloth covering the other four bodies.
Seeing that the left side of their hearts had neat holes confirmed by the incisions, she took a closer look and found that the hearts inside had been removed.
"We have verified the identities of these five people. They are just ordinary migrant workers in Beijing who have worked hard in Beijing for several years.
The five people had originally bought tickets to go back home for the New Year, but no one expected something like this to happen."
After hearing her words, Lin Yaoyao fell into a brief contemplation. Seeing Qing Yanrou's actions, she continued to talk to her.
"At first we thought it was just a psychopathic criminal who simply wanted to kill people, but after what you said just now, I feel like it's not that simple!"
Lin Yaoyao stared at the magic talisman in her hand, wondering what she was thinking.
"Whether this is simple or not, we'll know once we catch the person."
Qing Yanrou withdrew her gaze, stood up straight, took off the gloves on her hands, and went to the side to wash her hands.
"Do you have any clues?"
"Do you really think I'm a god? I can tell where the murderer is just by looking at the body? Take me to where the body was found."
Hearing her excited voice, Qing Yanrou said lightly, and just as she finished speaking, her cell phone rang.
"Hello, I'm in the special department. Um, I have to go out now. I'll send you a WeChat message. Okay."
"Where are we going?"
After she hung up the phone, she opened WeChat and asked the person next to her.
"No. 33 Changming Road."
That's where the first body was found.
Although the five bodies were not found in the same place, they were all in the same area and not far from each other.
But the police had already dug up the area thoroughly, but still found no clues.
The only thing that can be confirmed now is that the murderer cannot be a single person, but may be a gang.
Moreover, except for the first victim, the bodies of the other victims were found in their own homes.
Qing Yanrou had just arrived at Changming Road with Lin Yaoyao when she saw Chu Tingbai already waiting for her there.
"You two really are inseparable. We've only been apart for a few minutes, and you're already chasing me again."
Lin Yaoyao's tone was more or less sour. After all, she had just eaten and was very full, so she didn't want to eat dog food.
Qing Yanrou didn't respond to her, she walked straight towards Chu Tingbai.
"How long have you been here? Why aren't you staying in the car?"
"I just got here too. Are you cold?"
Chu Tingbai took her hand and found it was a little cold, so he wrapped her hand tightly and then put them both in his coat pocket.
"It's not cold."
"Let's go. It's so cold standing here."
Lin Yaoyao walked slowly to their side, and then led the way forward.
"Have you not discovered the spirit of the deceased?"
Qing Yanrou just felt that she seemed to have overlooked something, and only now did she finally remember it.
“We have tried to summon the spirits before, but the ghosts of the five deceased did not respond. I think they are controlled by the murderer.
What I fear most now is that the murderer will control the dead soul to carry out another round of killings."
