Chapter 402: Five Elements Open the Way, Seven Stars Extend Life

The crime scene.

"The surveillance cameras in the community and the Sky Eye within a week have all been checked..."

A day later, Wang Dong looked at Xiao Yu in front of him.

He found that the little brother was staring at the ceiling in the room in a daze.

Wang Dong's keen intuition made him almost instinctively feel something was wrong.

"Yeah."

Coming back to his senses, Xiao Yu looked at Wang Dong with a cold look, "Why did the two victims of the tragedy five years ago have to be hung up and disemboweled? The weirdest thing is that both victims were wearing red clothes?"

Seeing the little brother's eyes looking at him, Wang Dong felt a little scared, "How should I know this? You are a policeman. Aren't you the best at this kind of thing?"

"..."

The strongest king was criticized and educated by the strong-mouthed king. It always felt weird... Xiao Yu turned his head and looked at the second group member next to him, "Give me the files of the family-annihilation tragedy five years ago."

The team member handed over the tablet computer.

Xiao Yu began to flip through the files.

Ignoring the description of the investigation process on the file, Xiao Yu looked at several photos of the bodies of the deceased taken at the scene of the crime.

The focus is on two of the victims.

The hostess and a child.

They were wearing red clothes, their arms were hung up, their chests and abdomens were ripped open, their internal organs were spilling out, and large weights were tied to their feet...

Question marks popped up in Xiao Yu's head.

Why were the two victims wearing red clothes when they were killed?

Why were the knots of the hands and feet of the victims so professional?

Why were weights hung on their feet when they were killed?

There are too many doubts about this family-annihilation tragedy.

The file cannot give a clear answer, which is very strange.

After carefully looking at the photos several times, Xiao Yu became more and more confused.

It was not an execution, nor was it torture.

The way the victims died gave people a very strange feeling.

It was as if... Xiao Yu raised his head suddenly.

He knew what it was!

In the previous life, Xiao Yu once solved a strange sacrificial case.

The case happened on Qingming Festival.

Qingming Festival is also known as the Ancestor Worship Festival, which originated from the ancestral beliefs and spring sacrifice customs in ancient times.

What is "sacrifice"?

1. A ceremony to express mourning for the dead.

2. In ancient times, animals were killed to worship ghosts and gods.

What is "sacrifice"?

1. Domestic animals.

2. The name of the sacrifice in ancient sacrifices to gods.

Such as cattle, sheep, pigs, three animals.

Or... living people!

People, are sacrifices?

In the ancient feudal period, some sacrifices did use living people as sacrifices.

In the case that Xiao Yu encountered in the previous life, the murderer imitated some evil sacrifices.

Using living people as sacrifices, in order to ask ghosts and gods to satisfy some perverted wishes of the murderer.

Normal people know it.

Where are there ghosts and gods in this world?

If offering sacrifices to ghosts and gods is useful, there are many people who are more powerful than you.

Others have done it a long time ago, and it is still your turn to kill people and commit crimes and sacrifice?

But there are some people who believe in this kind of thing.

Some of them are even obsessed with it, believing in ghosts and worshipping gods, and are willing to kill people to pray.

Looking at the photos of the two victims being tortured on the tablet computer.

Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.

Human sacrifice? !

Then, Xiao Yu searched the Internet for similar sacrifices.

And some ancient sacrifices, as well as records of evil sacrifices.

As a result... he found it!

It was a book about ancient sacrifices.

It introduced some types of sacrifices of the ancients.

There were even some evil sacrifices...

This kind of sacrifice has a very strange name.

Five elements open the way, red clothes extend life... Extend life sacrifice!

Sacrifice methods... hanging beams, opening the belly of animals, locking souls, falling souls, and looking at the family.

Hanging beams represent wood.

Blood sacrifice of the five internal organs represents water.

Red clothes and red flames represent fire.

Weights represent gold.

Hanging in the air and leaning on the ground represents soil.

Through the sacrificial process, the murderer's purpose is very clear.

The two victims were hung on the beam, their stomachs cut open, and red clothes were used as a supplement. They were hung horizontally, overlooking the earth... to complete the sacrifice.

This sacrifice was imitating an ancient magic, the so-called Seven Star Lamp Life Extension Spell.

However, it was an evil method of exchanging lives for lives.

Use two lives to extend one life!

"The murderer... is extending his own life!"

Xiao Yu's eyes became cold and his voice was like a winter wind.

Hearing what the younger brother said and looking at his eyes, Wang Dong shuddered unconsciously, a little skeptical, "Using living people to sacrifice to extend life?!"

"Although I'm not sure, it's very likely."

Xiao Yu said coldly, "Assuming that the tragedy five years ago, the purpose of the male owner of this house was to use sacrifice to kill his wife and children. Then his purpose should have been to extend his life. Why did he mutilate himself to the point of chopping off his feet and left hand, and finally kill himself?"

"Extending life must be to live longer, right?"

Wang Dong frowned and shook his head, "If the assumption is true, how could he commit suicide. Unless..."

The two looked at each other.

They both saw an answer on each other's face.

The murderer is someone else!

And now, five years later.

This house has another murder.

There are six victims.

The way of death is also weird, it seems to be a game of Ouija.

But they were killed in a weird and cruel way.

The same house.

One case is weird.

Two cases are still weird.

You said it was a coincidence, how low is your IQ?

"No, it's not six victims, but... seven!"

Xiao Yu thought of a possibility, "The suspect Che Yu is also dead... Is there a possibility that seven people were supposed to die on the day of the crime? 980 sacrifice? Seven Stars to prolong life?"

"Did Che Yu discover something at the time and start to flee?"

"He was not hiding from us police officers and national security, but from the murderer?"

"As a result, Che Yu found that even if he hid, the murderer would find him?"

"Mingzhi must die, unable to escape, worried about being tortured and painful, so he chose to commit suicide?"

"No, that's not right. Is it possible that this kind of suicide is also a kind of revenge?"

"If Che Yu commits suicide, the murderer can't complete a certain sacrifice?"

"Since everyone is going to die anyway, how can the murderer be satisfied?"

A sudden realization gradually appeared on his face, and a cold light flashed in Xiao Yu's eyes.

"Is it so cruel?" Wang Dongting was a little frightened.

"What else?"

Xiao Yu sneered, "If you were to die, would you be able to satisfy the murderer?"

"Isn't it possible for me to kill him?" Wang Dong was disdainful.

"What if I can't do it?"

Xiao Yu's eyes flashed with a strange light again, "He accepts death and doesn't try to resist, which means the murderer is stronger than him. You know, Che Yu is very good at Muay Thai. He opened a Muay Thai club in his sophomore year and became the president. The murderer is stronger than him, and he dared not resist. He must have been familiar with the murderer after spending some time with him day and night? Or is it..."

The person who taught him Muay Thai? .
