Build a gaming empire from scratch

Chapter 822 Who Says The Thread Is Broken? !
Superfluous and Turner came to the same place one after another in different ways——

Xuanyangfang, Wannian County.

However, superficially, he was escorted to a prison, while Turner was taken by his uncle to visit the county lieutenant to find more clues to the case.

But things are not that simple.

As a huge city with millions of soldiers and civilians living in Chang'an, even if there are layers of security agencies, they can only reduce crimes as much as possible, but cannot completely eliminate them.

As the head of public security in Wannian County, the county captain, it is unrealistic to remember all these cases.

In particular, what Turner wanted to find was not a vicious crime, but a disappearance case.

When will these things be remembered by the county lieutenant every day?If it weren't for the fact that the missing person and the place were special, the county captain wouldn't have asked at all.

So the county lieutenant gave a proof again and asked them to check the file library by themselves.

Then Turner followed the four Marquis Wu to the Wannian County Document Library.

Seeing the stacks of files on the stacks of bookshelves, he immediately felt his scalp tingling——

This is to find the year of the monkey and the month of the horse?

Fortunately, the scribes from the file library showed up in time, saving them the time of searching for files.

All the cases that happened in Wannian County, whether they happened to princes or nobles or beggars on the street, whether they happened 10 years ago or yesterday, the scribes kept them in their minds.

As soon as Turner mentioned the "disappearance case without any clues", this ordinary-looking clerk, without hesitation for a second, immediately led them to a bookshelf, picked up a stack of files, and quickly He found the one he was looking for and handed it to Turner.

Then move to another bookshelf and repeat the previous action again.

After taking out the second file, he stopped moving and said confidently, "The only missing cases that have been resolved are these two within this year."

Turner picked up the file and read it quickly.

These two disappearances, probably because the missing people were ordinary people, obviously did not pay much attention to them. Only the reporter, the time when the family reported the case, and the approximate time of disappearance were recorded. Zhengfang, one is in Dunhuafang.

For Turner, this information is basically enough.

He didn't expect to get more specific information from the dossier, after all, there is a high probability that he must use [Spiritual Vision] to see the information.

Then he rushed to Daozhengfang non-stop, found the missing person's home, turned on his spiritual vision and quickly scanned around. When he found no clues, he immediately unfolded the map and looked along the missing person's way to work outside the city.

And things progressed more smoothly than he expected - he didn't go far, and he saw a faint black line in the air, which made him immediately think of the black shadow he saw in the Jiaofang Division, so he decisively followed to find past.

After searching, I found an alley less than 100 steps away from the east wall of Daozhengfang.

This alley, which seemed ordinary to several Marquis Wu, in the eyes of Turner, was staged a brutal "hunting".

The victim was instantly thrown down by the black shadow, but he clearly bit his throat, but he was not killed immediately. Instead, he cut open his abdomen cruelly, dug out two kidneys, and carefully placed them under the east wall again.

After completing these tasks, the black shadow returned the same way, and fell on the victim's body and began to devour it.

Turner couldn't bear to look directly, turned off his spirit vision, and walked all the way to the east wall of Daozhengfang, but there was nothing there, and he didn't see the kidney that the shadow had put down.

He rested for a while, then turned on his spirit vision again, and sure enough, he saw the two kidneys that didn't exist again.

"Have you found any clues?" Uncle followed up and asked.

Turner nodded, "I'll talk about it later, let's go to the next place first."

This time it is the Fangshi in the southeast corner of Chang'an City: Dunhuafang, which is next to Furong Garden and Qujiang Pond.

The investigation experience of Dunhuafang is exactly the same as that of Daozhengfang: following the looming black lines in the air, Turner found the southeast corner of Dunhuafang all the way, and once again witnessed a cruel "predation".

This time, the black shadow also cut out part of the internal organs before beginning to devour the victim.

As for this part of the internal organs, Turner used the panel to jump the external link to search before he was sure what it was—it was a liver.

Turner did not hide anything, and told his uncle and several other Marquis Wu about the clues he found.

But after that, things stalled.

He did get a very important clue: Within a month, three serial murders with highly consistent characteristics occurred consecutively, and the murderer took out part of the victim's internal organs each time.

But who is the murderer?Why did he do this?How did he do it?
Turner couldn't answer any of these questions.

So the task got stuck.

When his uncle asked him what he wanted to check next, he thought for a while but couldn't think of anything.

But the uncle didn't complain, but took him to the county lieutenant to report the information, and then took him home to rest first.

After arriving home, he not only provided his sister Xinxin's information, but also gave him a jade pendant, saying that it was left by his sister.

In the mouth of the uncle, the younger sister is also a magical girl.

Miraculously ran all over Chang'an before he was 10 years old, and he couldn't be closed, but he never encountered any bad things.

The most is that sometimes I don't know where I went, and when I come back, my face and body are covered with dust and I look dirty.

But after taking a bath and changing clothes, he is a cute little girl who everyone loves.

They tried to teach her not to run around, and she promised to be very obedient every time, but they disappeared when they turned around.

Let's fight, it's not my own, and the little girl is so cute, I can't fight at all.

As a result, after learning how to make wine at the age of 10, it was completely out of control. At first, the family would visit the place where she was an apprentice from time to time, fearing that she would be bullied.

Later, I gradually got used to her running around outside, and even went home less and less.

——For women in the Tang Dynasty, it was common for women to marry and have children at the age of 14. It was not unusual for younger sisters to return home less and less, and only occasionally sent letters back.

"This jade pendant was left when she came back when she was 14 years old, and I will give it to you now." The uncle looked at Turner and said: "After you find your heart, you must bring her back to have a look, we miss her very much. "

Turner nodded, not going to see the guest room his uncle had vacated for him, but going directly to the next stop - [Orchid Restaurant].

But my uncle saw that he was about to leave, so he stopped him, handed him another book, and said, "There are criminals making trouble in the city, so you must be more careful."

"I wanted to teach you by myself, but since you are eager to find your heart, then try to learn it yourself."

Turner looked at the book in his hand, and found that it was a cheat book for getting started with the stick technique——[Vajra Demon Demon Stick].

So I thanked it and accepted it decisively.

The question of whether to learn or not will be discussed later, and the saying that there is no reward and no need is at hand, which is more or less a plus.

What is really important is the jade pendant carved in the shape of a brave——

[Wearing Victory Wear]: Wear it with you, to ward off evil spirits.

Effect [-]: Slightly increase the probability of players seeing through illusions.

Effect two: a small amount of evil spirit effect.

Effect [-]: Slightly increase the player's luck.

Effect [-]: When the player is lucky within [-] steps, the jade pendant will emit a faint light.

Effect [-]: When the player is in danger within [-] steps, the jade pendant will vibrate by itself.

(Note 1: This jade pendant can be upgraded, please explore the upgrade method by yourself.)
(Note 2: This effect can be masked by more advanced effects.)
(Note 3: This effect is invalid for other players.)
(Note 4: With the power of the brave, it is the art of conquering boredom.)
Turner is still unclear about the effect of this jade pendant, but——

This is a total of five entries!
As we all know: the more entries, the stronger the equipment!

Turner put the jade on happily, and set off to the Orchid Restaurant for the next step.

As for the case... Anyway, he has nothing to do, so he can only hope that the game developer will be moral and give further clues later.

*
Unlike Turner, who had no clue about the case, the Great Xia players quickly discovered the clues.

"The lungs of Guangzhaifang, the kidneys of Daozhengfang, the liver of Dunhuafang..." Xia Yi sorted out the clues she got, and soon came up with several ideas——

"I remember the internal organs of the human body, which are closely related to the five elements theory in Chinese medicine. Could it have anything to do with the case?"

"If it matters, where is the [spleen]? Where is the [heart]?"

"[Heart] should be very special, will it be in a special place?"

"What is the murderer's purpose? Curse? Alchemy? Practice evil?"

"The victims shouldn't be random, their birth dates may also be very special!"

……

As a pure Daxia person, Xia Yi instantly had a series of associations with the case.

In her opinion, the clues are not broken at all, and there are so many things that need to be investigated!
