Money was still very useful. With the sound of money, dozens of bare-chested men jumped off the dock like carps who were good at water.
Hui Mo looked at his empty purse and thought about the promise that he would be rewarded if he found the children. He felt sorry for himself. It was too miserable. The money he had saved for ten years was all gone. He also owed a lot of money. If Shizi didn't reimburse him, he would be a bachelor for the rest of his life.
He wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes and said, "How do you explain those pieces of wood?"
Ning Shu stood at the dock and tried her best to look down with the light, but the sky was completely dark. The weak light could not illuminate the deep river below. After such a long time, it was very likely that it would be a waste of effort. She rubbed her aching temples and said, "Have you seen puppet shows?"
Hui Mo nodded, "Of course."
"That's it. In order to escape, the three children made several life-sized wooden puppets out of wood and acted in the fire for them. When we saw the puppets being burned in the fire through the thick smoke and fire, we were extremely worried. No one noticed that they had already quietly left the scene. Maybe the three children were too smart, or maybe the murderer was more cunning than I thought. He fooled all of us. "
Ning Shu sighed, "I was careless. I knew that the murderer had brainwashed the children and led them to take the initiative to fall into the devil's hands one by one. But I was easily fooled and was disrupted by the sudden fire."
Under the illumination of the lights on both sides of the river at night, the river sparkled. Dozens of men who were good at swimming searched the river for hours, but they couldn't find any trace of the children until a witness provided a clue. He said that not long ago, he saw with his own eyes a few children riding a small boat downstream. There was a tall and thin adult man on the boat, wearing black clothes and a bamboo hat. It was too dark to see the man's face clearly. After that, no one caught any trace of them.
Hui Mo was so angry that he vomited blood, "Damn it! I almost caught that bastard, but he still ran away! I'm so angry! I'm so angry! " However, even if he was really angry, it was useless. He sighed and patted his butt as he got up from the ground. He couldn't help but say dejectedly, "What should I do next? How are we going to investigate this case? "
They had encountered so many major cases before, and every case had a troublesome murderer behind it. However, this was the first time they had encountered someone who could play with people's hearts to such an extent. From the beginning to the end, he was like a puppet master hiding behind the scenes. He didn't need to show his face even once. He turned the victims into puppets under his control one by one. He pulled the strings and led the ropes, controlling the children to fight with them, making them hesitate and unable to do anything. Such intelligence, such scheming, simply made one's hair stand on end.
Ning Shu raised her head to look at the night sky. People say that the morning glow does not go out and the sunset glow travels thousands of miles. But the strange thing was, even though such a beautiful sunset glow appeared in the west of the capital in the evening, the bright moon above her head was completely covered by a sudden thick cloud. There was not a trace of light.
She twisted her sore neck and forced herself to be alert. "So far, five cases have been completed. The murderer probably won't commit any more cases. What can we do? Let's investigate slowly. By the way, according to the murderer's pattern, there should be a place near here where he has placed the fifth charm. Maybe we can find the last token there. Let's go and find it. "
"We've been running for a whole day without rest. We've eaten three simple meals. It's so late now. Why are we still looking for it? Why don't we go back and sleep first, and then … "
Ning Shu sneered and showed her teeth to him. "Sleep? If we can't solve the case, the Empress will punish us. After we die, we have thousands of opportunities to sleep well!"
"Ah, ah, ah, I'd rather be a lazy pig in my next life than be a human!"
