dead for days

Qin Shaoyou kicked a piece of the pelvis that was attacking him, leaned over and picked up the skull that he had split in half, and looked at it carefully.

Under the influence of the talent of [Bright Eyes], many of the information and details on this skull were clearly seen by him.

He really did find out.

This skull is actually spliced ​​together.

It is a human child's skull made of pieces and pieces of broken dog bones.

Because the splicing is very meticulous, and it has the effect of evil spirits, it is difficult to see the flaws.

But why did the thief use dog bones to pretend to be human bones?

Is it to cover up the true whereabouts of the missing child?

Or are there other plans?

Qin Shaoyou had a new question in his heart.

But the most urgent task is to destroy these ghost bones first.

So Qin Shaoyou temporarily suppressed his doubts and ran inside and outside the deserted temple with a knife, chasing after the skulls and slashing wildly.

After several slashes, Qin Shaoyou found that the effects of dealing with bone ghosts, bone demons and swords were not very effective.

Zhu Xiucai and others also noticed this situation.

They immediately ditched their knives and replaced them with more usable weapons.

"Go on, my lord."

Zhu Xiucai shouted and threw a new weapon to Qin Shaoyou.

It's a gourd hammer.

This kind of blunt weapon is not very effective against bone ghosts and bone demons.

Fortunately, Qin Shaoyou let his men take a variety of weapons in Luocheng Yaosi's arsenal, otherwise it would be impossible to replace the hammer now.

Putting on the hammer, Qin Shaoyou and the others fought the Bone Ghost Bone Demon, which was indeed easier.

One hit, one hit, one smashed.

Compared with Qin Shaoyou and others, the night watchman and catcher in Mianyuan County have no blunt weapons to replace.

They can only continue to fight with the bone ghosts and bone demons with the swords in their hands.

Fortunately, although these bone ghosts and bone monsters are strange, their strength is not strong.

Compared with the five monsters Qin Shaoyou and the others encountered in Wujiabao, they were incomparable.

Moreover, these bone ghosts and bone demons also have an obvious weakness such as their skulls.

Just hammering a skull can turn a piece of bone out of control and turn it back into a normal bone.

So this battle, although it came suddenly, ended quickly.

After the battle was over, no one was killed except for the few people who were initially attacked.

Many people were injured.

The most seriously injured was an archer in the county.

It's a pity that he shot several arrows, but they all brushed past the bones, and failed to hurt the bone ghost and bone demon in the slightest.

However, he was grabbed by a bony hand on the leg, tore off a large piece of flesh and blood, and the bones could be seen through the wound.

Compared with the people in Mianyuan County, Qin Shaoyou and the others were not injured at all.

After all, they were well prepared, not only did they have the gourd hammer to replace, but they also wore armor.

The bones can't even break the armor, how can they hurt them?

"Thank you for your help."

The night watchman and catcher in Mianyuan County bowed their hands to Qin Shaoyou and the others, but their eyes flickered.

They saw the iron armor exposed under the torn and torn robes of Qin Shaoyou and others.

Personal wearing armor, but a felony of treason.

If it weren't for the fear of being beaten, the night watchman and the arrester in Mianyuan County would have surrounded Qin Shaoyou and the others long ago.

"We are arresting fast from Luocheng to assist you in your investigation into the disappearance of a child."

Qin Shaoyou took out the catching fast waist card and official documents, and asked Zhu Xiucai to hand them over to Sun Boyuan, the magistrate of Mianyuan County.

Sun Boyuan read the official document and carefully verified the waist card, and heaved a long sigh of relief.

Next to it, the night watchman and the catcher in Mianyuan County also reacted similarly.

From the battle just ended, they could see that Qin Shaoyou and others were very powerful and well equipped.

If it was really a bandit or something like that, they wouldn't dare to arrest them, they could only pretend they didn't see the armor, and even leave as a gift.

Fortunately, Qin Shaoyou and the others are friends rather than enemies.

Sun Boyuan returned the badge and official document to Qin Shaoyou, and was about to say a few words of thanks when the people who had just been frightened by the bone ghost and bone demon came back.

The parents and relatives of the missing children gathered courage and entered the courtyard of the deserted temple again.

Looking at the broken bones on the ground, they cried even more sadly than before.

And this time, they not only cried and hanged their own children, but also threw their rage on the thief.

"It's all these demons who killed our children and turned their bones into demons, so that the children can't rest in peace..."

"Kill them and avenge the children!"

"Yes, kill them! Not one of them can be spared!"

Before Qin Shaoyou and Sun Boyuan could react, the indignant crowd had already surrounded the thieves with fists and kicks.

The thieves were all tied up by the five flowers. Facing the angry crowd, they could only be beaten and could not escape.

And everyone hated them, not only did they use a lot of strength in their fists and feet, but many people picked up stones from the ground and smashed them at them.

When Mianyuan County's arrest and yamen finally stopped the angry crowd, the thieves had already been beaten to death.

Seeing that all the thieves were killed, the night watchman and the arrester in Mianyuan County breathed a sigh of relief.

Even Sun Boyuan, the magistrate.

For them, the death of the thief is the best outcome.

If the thief did not die, they would have to put the person in prison first, and then escort them to the Fucheng or the prefecture.

In this process, it is not only full of variables, but also full of dangers.

In case the thieves have any sorcery, they could carry out a sneak attack while they were not paying attention, or if the thief's companions came to rob the prison, etc... It might hurt their lives.

Now that the thief is dead, these dangers are naturally gone, can they not breathe a sigh of relief?

Not only that, but they desperately want the case to end there.

In the past two months, they have been under tremendous pressure due to the disappearance of a large number of children.

Although they also know that there are still several doubts in this case, they don't want to investigate further, they just want to close the case as soon as possible.

Therefore, Sun Boyuan glanced at the corpses of several thieves and covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves, and then lobbied to Qin Shao:

"The thief has been beaten to death by the angry people, and the bones of the missing children have been recovered, so this case is closed. You have made a lot of efforts in solving the case at a critical juncture, and I will give you credit in the official document. "

Qin Shaoyou was also looking at the thief's body.

He found that these thieves were also strange.

They didn't die at the wrong time.

They did not die today, but for several days.

But obviously these thieves were still alive and kicking not long ago.

Qin Shaoyou wanted to speak out about this doubt, but after hearing what Sun Zhixian said, he dismissed the idea.

This Sun Zhixian County is weird!

Glancing at Sun Zhixian, Qin Shaoyou nodded, followed his words and said, "Yes, this case can be closed."
