"My lord, can this case really be closed?"

On the way back from the barren temple to the inn, Monk Ma couldn't hold back and asked in a low voice.

Qin Shaoyou didn't rush to answer. He glanced around to make sure there were no outsiders nearby, and then said, "Closed the case? It's early. The victim is fake, and the criminal is also fake. Do you think this case can be closed?"

"Are both victims and criminals fake?"

Everyone was stunned.

They clearly saw a rain of bones and saw the thief being beaten to death by the angry people, how could they all be fake?

It can't be that what they saw, heard, and felt before were all hallucinations, right?

Qin Shaoyou didn't sell anything, and directly stated his findings: "Those bones are not human bones, but dog bones. Several thieves are also living corpses that have been dead for several days and have been manipulated by magic refining."

The wrestlers became more and more shocked, but the faces of Zhu Xiucai and Monk Ma showed the expressions of sudden realization.

Qin Shaoyou noticed it and asked them both, "Did you find anything?"

Zhu Xiucai nodded and took out a few sharp dog teeth from his sleeve.

"I found this in the mouth of a skull. I have been wondering why there are dog teeth in human skulls? Now I know, those human bones are all fakes made of dog bone fragments!"

Monk Ma said, "I found corpse qi on the bodies of those thieves. I thought it was caused by their cultivation of evil and sorcery, but only after listening to the adults did I realize that they had long since died and were practiced by others. become a corpse."

The words of Zhu Xiucai and Monk Ma are equivalent to corroborating Qin Shaoyou's discovery.

In addition to being surprised, the wrestlers breathed a sigh of relief.

Because these discoveries at least prove one thing - the missing children are very likely still alive.

The Luxians soon had new questions.

"Why do real thieves play such a show? What is their purpose?"

Zhu Xiucai analyzed: "They should want to cover up certain things, such as the real whereabouts of the missing children, etc., but also want the government and the public to think that the case is over, so as to cover up what they will do next. "

Everyone thought it was reasonable.

Monk Ma even boasted: "Xiusai, when you don't want to think about vulgar things, you are still very powerful, and your mind turns fast."

Zhu Xiucai was humble.

"It's not me, it's the adults. What I said, the adults have long thought of it.

The adults told Sun Zhixian that the case could be closed because he didn't want to startle the snake.

At the same time, I also want to paralyze the real thieves, let them think that their plan is successful, induce them to make the next move, and expose the clues, so that we can find them and lock them! "

"It turns out that the adults have thought so much and made so many arrangements. It's really amazing."

The eyes of Monk Ma and all the wrestlers looking at Qin Shaoyou were filled with admiration from the bottom of their hearts.

Immediately afterwards, Monk Ma looked down at the dog in his arms and asked a new question.

"If the missing children were really turned into dogs by animal creation, why did the thieves let them run around? Also, what is the purpose of the thieves to turn people into dogs?"

While thinking about it, Zhu Xiucai said: "The thieves turned children into dogs, mostly because they wanted to let them die at the hands of their relatives.

Although I don't know what the thief's specific purpose is, this way of dying will definitely cause great resentment, and even give birth to a ghost!

So I guess that the thieves are either raising ghosts, or planning some kind of terrible curse or cult ritual! "

Everyone nodded in unison, and they all felt that this analysis made sense.

They also remembered the news they heard from the city gate guards when they entered Mianyuan County, that wild dogs like to sneak into the houses.

In fact, these dogs are not running around.

They linger near houses and walk in front of people because they want to go home and let their parents and relatives recognize them.

It's a pity that their parents and relatives don't even know that the dog wandering around them is their child.

While speaking, the group returned to the outside of the inn.

A wrestler who was supposed to be looking at his luggage in the inn was looking out the door.

Seeing them from a distance, this wrestler hurried up to meet them.

"My lord, Zhang Shilang's mansion has sent someone to look for you."

Qin Shaoyou was a little surprised: "Did you say you were looking for us to do something?"

Li Shi said: "I said that I want to find you to redeem the dog."

Qin Shaoyou immediately turned around and instructed Monk Ma, "Monk, give this dog to Xiucai."

Then he said to Zhu Xiucai, "Find a place to hide."

"it is good."

After Zhu Xiucai took the dog, he quickly disappeared on the street corner.

Qin Shaoyou led the crowd into the inn, and as expected, he saw the two servants of Zhang's house who had sold dogs to them before.

When the two saw their return, they hurriedly stood up to greet them, and took out a piece of broken silver.

"Several adults, this is the money you bought the dog. We want to redeem the dog you bought before."

Qin Shaoyou pretended to be surprised: "Why is this? Didn't we say before that your little son is too frightened to eat dog-hearted dog meat? Why do you still want to feed him?"

"It's not to eat." The two quickly explained, "My little master said that the dog helped him find it from the deserted temple, and he wanted to take good care of it in return."

"It's not easy for your little son to understand the truth of repaying gratitude at a young age."

After Qin Shaoyou praised a few words, he asked again: "But how did he know that the dog we bought was the one that helped him find it home?"

One person said: "My little master has talked about a lot of characteristics, which are exactly in line with the dog you bought."

Another person said: "When we were looking for a dog, we met a butcher who sold it to us. He said that the dog he sold to us was caught at the back door of our house, which is the difference between the little owner and the dog. place."

Qin Shaoyou nodded and said again: "Then why didn't he bring the dog into the house when he went home?"

"Probably because he was so excited at the time, he forgot?"

The two servants don't know the specific reason, it's pure guesswork.

Qin Shaoyou saw that they really did not know, so he stopped interrogating them and pretended to be very sorry.

"We also want to return the dog to your little son. It's a good story. Unfortunately, we went to a deserted temple before and encountered a ghost. In the chaos, the dog ran away. Why don't you go near the deserted temple? Go around, maybe you can find the dog."

The two Zhang Family servants looked at each other.

Because Qin Shaoyou and the others really didn't have the dog around, they could only say goodbye and try their luck near the deserted temple.

After sending them out of the inn, Qin Shaoyou returned to the Datongpu room and found that Zhu Xiucai had come back with the dog at some point.

"Change places to sleep tonight."

After Qin Shaoyou closed the door, there was no smile on his face, and he ordered coldly.

"The thieves will not be reconciled. They must have acted in the middle of the night, either stealing the dog or killing us... When it gets dark, we will sneak out quietly, keep an eye on them, and follow them."
