old man feeding rules

In Jiang Xun's view, his father, Jiang Yu, has always deserved what he deserved. He didn't treat his wife and children kindly in his lifetime. In the end, he ended up dead without a place to bury him. Therefore, after the car accident, he rejected the request of Jiang Yu's cronies. , did not allow Jiang Yu to be buried with his mother, but only bought a cheap cemetery in the most remote corner of Quexi Mountain, with poor geomantic omen, hoping that this scumbag will have no children and grandchildren in his next life, and no one will take care of him in the wind and sun , After several years, the path was almost covered by wild grass.

He didn't let Lu Kuang accompany him, mainly because he felt that this matter was disgraceful. No one wanted to be seen digging their ancestral graves, and he was the same, shameless, and went up the mountain alone with a pickaxe.

He found the burial place of that person with the remaining memory. Although he had hatred and resentment in his heart, he felt endless embarrassment when facing the cold tombstone.

"So, people, really don't do bad things, you will be punished."

He knelt down and wiped the dust on the monument with his hands. Due to psychological resistance and physical disgust, he couldn't kiss Jiang Yu's tombstone like he did to "Jiang Juan", but just clicked on it. Just hugged.

"You are not a good father, and I am not a good son. We are each other. I think ten years is enough to eliminate some hatred. If I can prove that you are innocent this time, as an apology, I will take you away from this place." Damn place, I have repaid you for giving birth to me, and you have also repaid the grievances for treating our mother and child harshly, and then our debts will be written off."

After speaking, he stared at the tombstone for a while, remembering the last appearance of this solitary tomb, then raised his pickaxe, and pried open the stone slab that sealed the tomb.

When he came back, it was already dark. Seeing his gloomy expression as if he had bumped into a ghost, Lu Kuang guessed the result, "It seems that the little boy is right, your dead ghost father may still be alive, let him guess right ?”

Jiang Xun let out a "bah" and cursed harshly, "I was tricked by him, mother, it's a pity that I have a conscience and want to forgive him. I really shouldn't give this old man a chance to put his nose on the face." He took He took out a card and waved it in front of Lu Kuang, "The urn is empty, and there is only one of these things in it. I can't understand what these little girls are playing with. Do you know what it is?"

"Hiss... Do you have any misunderstanding about my gender? How can I know what little girls play. Hey, isn't this a Tarot card?" Lu Kuang took the card and looked at the front and back. "Hey! With gold edging, your father is indeed rich."

"Stop talking nonsense and drive."

On the way, Jiang Xun checked the explanation on Baidu several times, and he felt that the image on this card was most similar to the No. 12 "Hanged Man" in the major arcana of the Tarot card.

Different from the most common Waite Tarot cards, the protagonist of this card is crucified in a suffering posture, his hands and feet are bound, and even his collarbone is pierced by iron chains. In chivalrous novels, there are often plots where the victim is nailed through the lute bone to confine his divine power. Obviously, this person is suffering from a very humiliating torture. The neck of his neck made his complexion appear unnaturally flushed under the hypoxic state, and his blank eyes also showed a sense of confusion that he didn't know what day and night it was.

From the perspective of the police for many years, Jiang Xun is a typical murder scene with a sense of ritual.

Lu Kuang glanced a few more times while walking straight ahead, "Tsk, why does this picture look familiar? I seem to have seen it somewhere."

"If you have seen it, it must be in my office." Jiang Zheng said without raising his head, "This is the scene of Lan Shan's death, no, she was poisoned and killed by Yin Gu on the way to the hospital. Oscar's death scene is not quite accurate, it should be said that the scene of the crime scene is exactly the same. If I had no clue about these serial murders before I learned about Tarot, now I suddenly understand."

Jiang Xun took a deep breath, closed his eyes and leaned back on the chair, and put the "Hanged Man" upside down on his lap.

"If my thinking is correct, Lan Shan should have been one of the 'prey' too."

Lu Kuang was a little unexpectedly dazed, "Ah? Why do you say that?"

Jiang Xun narrowed his eyes and said, "Let's start with another death scene that is as weird as her crime scene. You have a certain understanding of Chen Dongsheng's case, so tell me what makes you feel weird."

The other party replied without thinking: "All."

"...Tell me the point that concerns you the most."

"Hmm... the way of his death, the state of his death, and the place where he died."

"This is just my guess, and there is no conclusive evidence yet. The number 0 in the Major Arcana, or 22, the protagonist in the 'Fool' card is innocent and innocent, and walks towards the unknown life without fear. Journey not only means eclecticism, longing for freedom and courage to take risks, but also represents stupid impulse and nothingness, to some extent, it is somewhat similar to his performance and experience."

"You don't think that each of their prey has a corresponding tarot symbol?"

"Just hypothetical."

"Okay, what about Lan Shan?"

"'demon'."

The corner of Lu Kuang's mouth twitched, and he opened his mouth, wanting to complain about his whimsical guess, but he didn't know where to start.

Jiang Xun took out a picture of the "Devil" card from his mobile phone, and showed him the face of the card. Directly above the picture was a primitive monster with a goat's head and an orangutan body, with bat wings and bird feathers. Under his control, a naked man and woman were entangled by chains around their necks.

"The upright meaning of this card is improper desire, temptation, mistake, secret, and the inversion means breaking free from shackles, escaping, cursing and spurning."

"Do you think this 'devil' represents Lan Shan? She may have participated in her mother Lan Zhenzhen's abduction, sexual assault and other crimes, but she does not seem to be in a dominant position. It is a bit far-fetched to say that she is a 'devil'."

"I didn't say she was a 'devil', she actually..." As he spoke, Jiang Xun pointed at the sexually obvious woman at the bottom of the screen, "She is a woman seduced by a 'devil'."

Hearing this, Lu Kuang felt a pain in his back molars, and couldn't help hissing, "Then, what about the other one? You don't want to say it's..."

"Cheng Yi." Jiang Xun replied indifferently, "Does that sound outrageous?"

"More than a few? I've never seen a Tarot card that can be divided like this!"

"I will verify all these speculations later. Do you want to hear what other people say?"

Lu Kuang nodded with the idea of ​​seeing what he could come up with, and Jiang Xun continued: "Jiang Zhu, which represents the 'high tower'. This card implies a warning sign, foretelling danger and crisis. , His death... is also in line with the card. In fact, his death did sound a wake-up call for us, and it directly led to Jiang Juan leaving Yanxi and Cao Ju being transferred to Changning. I find it hard to believe that these are all coincidences. "

Speaking of this, Lu Kuang was forced to believe it.

He asked again: "Is there anyone else besides them?"

"Yes," Jiang Xun sighed, stroked his forehead and said dully, "Thousands."

Lu Kuang suddenly became dumb.

"'Judgment', the reverse position represents disillusionment, depression, no progress, and alienation. Cheng Rang once called himself the 'executor', and also hinted that the crime he committed against Chitose was a kind of trial. If I could have found out earlier ,Maybe……"

"That's not your fault, don't blame yourself too much." Lu Kuang saw his dejected look, and really wished he could travel back a few minutes ago, slap him left and right, and subdue the self who insisted on getting to the bottom of it, "You, you Don't be sad, it's over, it's useless to regret it, all we can do is protect the people who are still alive from being hurt, of course, including you."

"That's right, lend me your phone."

Lu Kuang hesitated for a while, then took out the phone from his trouser pocket and handed it over, "What are you doing? Don't rummage through my chat records. If you find out that I have a good relationship with several younger sisters, it will affect my image as a good man."

"Okay, then let me ask my sister surnamed Gao to ask about your recent performance."

After saying this, Lu Kuang was still remembering where he had a younger sister surnamed Gao. He didn't expect that one word from that person could scare his life away after he got through the phone.

"Hey, Lao Gao, it's me, rest in peace by your side, if it's convenient, ask me something...don't let me talk to him, I beg you...help me ask him, what he concealed in the serial murder case What are the characteristics of the victim."

After a while, Jiang Xun took the initiative to hang up the phone.

"I guessed right. Sure enough, Lan Shan was also the prey of previous hunting games. Both her and Chen Dongsheng's inner thighs have the mark of '17'." He picked up the invitation letter, stroked the lines on the wax paint, and slightly touched it with his fingertips. Glowing bluish white, "... Brother Qian also has the same mark on his body, on the inside of his left ankle, there is a light red mark, whether it was left by Cheng Rang or Yin Gu, it is certain that he is also one of the prey this time. one……"

Lu Kuang was dumbfounded, and it took him a long time to recover from the shock: "I...I don't know...why the rules of the game this year are different from previous years. There has never been a precedent for hunting prey in advance!"

"Both Chen Dongsheng and Lan Shan were victims of hunting games. They were 'livestock' who could not choose their own fate, and they both had the experience of being controlled by criminal gangs. The marks on their bodies are likely to be when they participated in the game, or even when they were young. It was branded, and the marks on Brother Qian..."

Speaking of this, Jiang Xun suddenly had a premonition of crisis, picked up the phone and dialed a number according to the remaining impression, and asked impatiently after the other party answered: "Wen Zheng, I have something to ask you!"

Wen Zheng on the other end couldn't hide her anxiety, "Brother Jiang, I can't get in touch with you these days, which makes us anxious."

"Leave that aside, I asked you to contact Mrs. Qian, how is the matter of sending her family abroad?"

"Brother Jiang, I was just about to tell you about this. I persuaded their family to travel to Fiji for half a year, which would last until the wife gave birth to a child. She was scheduled to leave yesterday, but she suddenly disappeared when checking in. We have reported I called the police, but no one has been found so far, Brother Jiang, what should I do?"

Hearing this, Jiang Xun shook his hand, and the mobile phone that he was not holding firmly slipped on his lap, and Wen Zheng, who was opposite, was still calling anxiously.

"It's over, something happened..." Jiang Xun said in a daze.

At this moment, a new message notified Yingming his pale face.

[The hunting ground is ready, and the warm-up event will start in six hours. All participants are requested to enter the venue in an orderly manner with wax seals. Remember not to reveal their identities to others easily. The organizer will not be liable for any consequences caused by participants' mistakes Responsible.The final interpretation of this game belongs to the "rules". 】
