Qin Shaoyou kicked away a piece of pelvic bone that was attacking him, leaned over to pick up the skull that was split in half, and looked at it carefully.
Under the influence of the [Bright Eyesight] talent, he could clearly see many of the information and details on the skull.
He really made a discovery.
This skull is actually spliced together.
It is made of pieces of broken dog bones to form the skull of a human child.
Because the splicing is very detailed and the evil spirit and magic are used, it is difficult to see the flaws.
But why did the thieves use dog bones to pass off as human bones?
Is it to cover up the true whereabouts of the missing children?
Or do you have other intentions?
Qin Shaoyou had new questions in his mind.
But the most urgent task is to destroy these ghost bones and monster bones first.
So Qin Shaoyou temporarily suppressed his doubts and ran around inside and outside the deserted temple with a knife, chasing after skulls and slashing them wildly.
The reason why he is so active is not only to kill monsters and save people, but also to snatch heads and food.
He was looking forward to the effect of the demon bone soup. He wanted to get more bones and boil more soup so that he could drink it hard.
But in the eyes of others, these bones are those of missing children.
Even if he had the gift of [Smart Tongue], it would be difficult for people to believe that these were dog bones and not human bones.
Therefore, Qin Shaoyou had no way to take away the bones here and make soup after the battle.
He can only let the recipe in his mind extract the ingredients by smashing the skull.
This requires him to enter the battle with a more positive attitude and grab more 'heads'.
After several chops, Qin Shaoyou discovered that sword-like weapons were not very effective against bone ghosts and bone demons.
Zhu Xiucai and others also noticed this situation.
They immediately abandoned their swords and replaced them with more practical weapons.
"My lord, continue."
Zhu Xiucai shouted and threw a new weapon to Qin Shaoyou.
It's a pumpkin hammer.
This kind of blunt weapon is not very effective against bone ghosts and bone demons.
Fortunately, Qin Shaoyou asked his men to get a variety of weapons from the arsenal of Luocheng Yaosi, otherwise it would be impossible to replace the hammer now.
It is indeed right to be prepared and to be prepared rather than in vain.
After replacing the hammers, Qin Shaoyou and the others were able to fight the Bone Demon more smoothly.
Once you knock it, it will be accurate, and if you smash it, it will break.
Compared with Qin Shaoyou and others, the night watchmen and policemen in Mianyuan County have no blunt weapons to replace them.
They could only continue to fight the bone ghost and bone demon with the swords in their hands.
Fortunately, although these bone ghosts and bone demons are weird, they are not very strong.
There is no comparison with the five demons Qin Shaoyou and the others encountered in Wujiabao.
Moreover, these bone ghosts and bone demons also have an obvious weakness like the skull.
Just crushing a skull can cause a piece of bone to lose control and turn back into a normal bone.
Therefore, although this battle started suddenly, it also ended quickly.
After the battle, an inventory was taken and it was found that except for the few people who were attacked initially, no one else was killed.
However, many people were injured.
The most seriously injured person was an archer in the county.
Unfortunately, he shot several arrows, but they all missed the bones and failed to injure the bone demon at all.
But his leg was grabbed by a bone hand, and a large piece of flesh and blood was torn off, and the bones could be seen through the wound.
Compared with the group of 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 pumpkin hammers that could be replaced, but they were also all wearing armor.
Bones can't even break armor, so how can they be hurt?
"Thank you for your help."
The night watchmen and head catchers in Mianyuan County thanked Qin Shaoyou and others, but their eyes flickered.
They saw the iron armor exposed under the scratched and torn robes of Qin Shaoyou and others.
Carrying armor privately is a serious crime of treason.
If it weren't for the fear of being defeated, the night watchmen and policemen from Mianyuan County would have surrounded Qin Shaoyou and the others.
"We are detectives from Luocheng, here to assist you in investigating the case of missing children."
Qin Shaoyou took out the police badge 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 badge, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Next to them, the night watchmen and police officers in Mianyuan County had similar reactions.
From the battle that just ended, they saw that Qin Shaoyou and others were very powerful and well equipped.
If they were really bandits or bandits, they would not dare to arrest them, they could only pretend they had not seen the armor, and even leave with gifts.
Fortunately, Qin Shaoyou and the others are friends rather than enemies.
After the people in Mianyuan County breathed a sigh of relief, they were a little curious and envious, and said to themselves: "Do the police officers in Fucheng now wear armor when they go on a mission? Big cities are different."
Others cast their eyes on Sun Boyuan, the county magistrate.
Sun Boyuan just pretended not to see it.
I also want to get some armor to save my life, but I don’t dare. I want to live for a few more years and don’t want the three tribes to be annihilated!
Sun Boyuan returned the badge and official documents to Qin Shaoyou. Just as he was about to say a few words of thanks, the people who had just been scared by the bone ghost and fled in all directions came back.
The parents and relatives of the missing children mustered up the courage to re-enter the courtyard of the deserted temple.
Looking at the broken and motionless bones on the ground, they cried even more sadly than before.
And this time, they not only cried for their children, but also vented their anger on the thieves.
"It's all these demons who killed our children and turned their bones into demons, so that the children can't rest in peace even after they die..."
"Kill them and avenge the children!"
"Yes, beat them to death! Don't let any of them go!"
Before Qin Shaoyou and Sun Boyuan could react, the angry people had already surrounded the thieves and started fighting with fists and kicks.
The thieves were all tied up. Facing the angry crowd, they could only be beaten and unable to escape.
And everyone hated them so much that they not only used great force with their fists and kicks, but many people also picked up stones from the ground and threw them at them.
By the time the Mianyuan County police officers and government officials managed to stop the angry crowd, the thieves had already been beaten to death.
Seeing that all the thieves were killed, the night watchmen and police officers in Mianyuan County all breathed a sigh of relief.
Even the county magistrate Sun Boyuan was like this.
For them, the death of the thief is the best outcome.
If the thief survives, they will first imprison him and then escort him to a prefecture or prefecture.
This process is not only full of variables, but also full of dangers.
If the thieves have any evil skills and carry out a sneak attack while they are not paying attention, or if the thieves' companions come to rob the prison, etc... it may 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, they also eagerly hope that the case will be over.
In the past two months, they have been under tremendous pressure due to the disappearance of a large number of children.
Although they also knew that there were still several doubts in this case, they did not want to continue the troublesome investigation and just wanted to close the case as soon as possible.
Therefore, after Sun Boyuan glanced at the corpses of several thieves and covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves, he said to Mr. Qin:
"The thief has been beaten to death by the angry people, and the bones of the missing child have been recovered. This case is considered closed. You guys have made great contributions at the critical moment of solving the case. I will take credit for you in the official document.
"
Qin Shaoyou was also looking at the thief's body.
He found that these thieves were also strange.
The time of their death was wrong. They did not die today, but several days ago.
But it was obvious that these thieves were still alive and kicking not long ago.
Qin Shaoyou originally wanted to express this doubt, but after hearing Sun Zhixian's words, he gave up the idea, nodded and changed his words: "Yes, this case can be closed."
