Gu Mingtai glanced at her and nodded.
Tang Gu, who was standing in the pool of blood, heard the conversation between the young couple and immediately came over. He asked anxiously, "What were you two talking about just now? What formation did you see?"
Zhang Meng looked at the two of them and asked, "Didn't you see that?"
Tang Gu and another male comrade frowned at the same time. After looking at each other, they shook their heads at the same time and said in unison, "What did you see? We didn't see anything!"
Zhang Meng immediately walked to one of the corners and said, "Look at this symbol. Is there one around?"
After her instruction, Tang Gu and his comrades finally realized that there were indeed these strange symbols around this place! After Tang Gu saw it, he immediately frowned and looked over. "How can you be so sure that this is a symbol? Could it be that the mentally ill person who used to be here drew it themselves?"
Zhang Meng smiled and shook his head, "Impossible! This symbol is only found in the Yin Gathering Soul Collection Formation. Besides, I've seen this formation before. There's no way I'm mistaken."
After hearing what Zhang Meng said, Tang Gu and his colleague's expressions changed.
Tang Gu looked at Zhang Meng with a somewhat grim expression, "Comrade Zhang Meng, can I ask what exactly this Yin-gathering and Soul-collecting Formation is used for? What do you think of this symbol? Can you share it with us? We urgently need clues to solve this case. Time is running out!"
Zhang Meng immediately turned to look at Gu Mingtai. Hearing her gaze, he walked over with measured steps and continued, "This Yin-gathering and Soul-collecting Formation is a very ancient formation. It's believed that there are no more than five people in the world who can use it. As the name suggests, it collects souls. If I'm not mistaken, none of the four families you just mentioned have any ghosts left here!"
Tang Gu and his colleague exchanged a glance, surprise flashing in both of their eyes. Tang Gu immediately grew respectful and said to Gu Mingtai, "Comrade Gu, you're absolutely right. We haven't found the souls of these four families here. It's as if those people don't have souls to begin with."
Zhang Meng immediately retorted, "Impossible! As long as they're human, their soul will definitely remain after they die, unless their soul has been taken away by something!"
Gu Mingtai frowned and immediately looked at Tang Gudao, "Comrade Tang, could you please tell me the surnames of those four families?"
Tang Gu was stunned. "Does this have anything to do with us solving the case?"
"Maybe, maybe not!" Gu Mingtai replied indifferently.
Seeing this, Tang Gu had no choice but to continue, "I remember one family's surname was Jin, one was Lin, one was Wang, and the one who died the day before yesterday was named Huo. This family's surname is a bit special."
Zhang Meng's expression changed, and he immediately looked at Gu Mingtai, "Gu Mingtai, it's gold, wood, water, and fire, and the missing one is earth."
Gu Mingtai glanced at her and nodded slightly, "Yes, they kill people according to the five elements. So that's how it is!"
Tang Gu discovered this clue after listening to the couple's conversation. He immediately raised his hand and knocked his forehead hard, saying with a look of self-blame, "So that's how it is. Such an obvious clue, and we actually never thought of it. How could we be so stupid?"
Seeing this, his colleague next to him quickly stepped forward and grabbed his arm, "Captain Tang, don't blame yourself. This matter has nothing to do with you. It's us who are useless."
Tang Gu shook off his hand and immediately looked towards Gu Mingtai and Zhang Meng. "You two, do you know anything else? Please give me some clues, please."
Gu Mingtai glanced at him, walked to the edge of the pool of blood, looked at the large amount of blood and continued to ask, "Let me ask you, how did those four families die?"
Tang Gu gnashed his teeth. "All four families were three people. The parents bled to death, and the children's tendons were cut and their heads were cut. We still haven't found the heads of those four children."
At this point, Tang Gu kicked the ground hard and said angrily, "It's better not to let me find the murderer. If I do find him, I will beat him so hard that he can't even crawl up."
Zhang Meng frowned, feeling that the deaths of the four families Comrade Tang had just mentioned were a bit strange.
