Chapter 37 Puppet Town (20)
"Why don't you speak?" Lin Meiren didn't notice her unhappiness and continued to ask.

"What I just wanted to say is that these people are indeed puppets with skeletons. There are no clues."

"Look, the townspeople don't look right."

Shu Li kept staring, but the people below had begun to commotion, and the noisy discussion could not stop.

The mayor frowned and suddenly looked up and looked around.

Shu Li and the others quickly took a few steps back, but fortunately the mayor seemed to just look up casually and had no other intention.

"Mayor, don't you want to explain to everyone?" A person with the right to speak stood up from the crowd, and many people had gathered behind him.

"Explain what?" the mayor asked, "What do you want to know?"

"Hasn't the forbidden technique of making people into puppets been burned long ago? Mayor, why do you..." The man looked at the bottom of the well mid-sentence, and his meaning was very clear.

The mayor nodded his head and suddenly smiled: "What is recorded in the mind, what impact will it have if the record is burned?"

The faces of the townspeople turned even darker, and their eyes looking at the mayor were full of fear.

Seeing this, Shu Li frowned: "Something's wrong, look at the mayor."

It was obviously a one-man battle, but the mayor was particularly calm.

"Now that we've broken up, there's no need to keep you here." The mayor suddenly spoke and took out a piccolo from his sleeve.

When the townspeople saw his actions, the older ones turned pale, and some even turned around and ran away.

But it's still too late.

The mayor played the flute in his hand and said that the music was a bit flattering to him, but it was just a dozen irregular tones.

But as the notes were played one by one, the townspeople gradually lost control of their bodies until they completely collapsed to the ground.

The mayor put down the flute in his hand and shouted. He saw that all the townspeople in front of him were under his control regardless of their age.

The mayor looked around and above with deep eyes. Although he didn't know the specific location of Shuli and the others, he obviously knew that someone was peeking.

But he didn't care and led the people outside the town.

On the roof, several people looked at each other. Is this the end?

The half-dug wellhead was wide open, only a few meters down.

If it weren't for the burned clothing, it would be as if nothing had happened.

"There is something." Hua Rong's sharp eyes saw where the mayor was standing just now. It seemed that it was something that fell on the ground when he took out the piccolo.

They got off the roof, walked over, and picked up the thing.

It was a piece of plain white cloth of rough workmanship, with instructions on how to make and manipulate puppets recorded on it.

"Only the last 20.00% exploration degree is left, which should be related to this."

The thing was turned around in the hands of several people. The words used in the record and some of the things mentioned were almost the same as those in Cuoyue.

Things here came to an end. They were divided into three groups and looked for clues about the abandoned yard as mentioned just now.

Hua Rong made up her mind to stay with Shu Li, so Lin Meiren had no choice but to find He Jian, who was considered a teammate.

After separating from them, Hua Rong saw that Shu Li was not moving and looked at her with some doubts: "Aren't you leaving?"

"You want to stare at me?"

"No, I plan to help you." Huarong shrugged.

"But you still owe points, wouldn't it be better to vote me out?"

"Please, I only get 100 points for voting you out, so I don't like it." Hua Rong rolled her eyes: "Why don't you treat it as something you owe me? Next time we meet again by chance and I am the murderer, you can let me go. ?" Shu Li looked at her, thought for a moment and then chose to believe her.

"I'm not going to search the abandoned yard. I have a suspicion I need to confirm."

"What guess?" Huarong asked.

Shu Li looked around and said while walking: "I still don't have a complete crime process here. I think the remaining clues should be to find this."

"Originally, I thought Shu Shan'er was very strong, but after seeing the mayor, I had a new guess."

Hua Rong frowned and understood what she meant: "With what happened just now, do you suspect that Shu Shan'er also used this method to control Zuo Si?"

Shu Li nodded.

"But we checked Zuo Si and his bones are normal."

Shu Li corrected: "It's just the throat."

Huarong's eyes widened.

The two of them had already reached the well and stood in front of the dug wellhead with a diameter of two to three meters. The people below showed no sign of struggling.

Because the expiration date of the props had not expired, although those people were in the water, their bodies were still burning.

Shu Li curled her lips and said, "Fifty points is not a loss."

The skin of those below has basically fallen off, and wooden bones are faintly visible among the burned rotten flesh.

But their eyes fell directly on the necks of those people, and it was exactly as Shu Li guessed.

Not only their necks, but also their skulls and chests were still human bones, but their limbs had turned into wooden bones.

"Based on the forbidden techniques recorded on the cloth, these should be puppets that failed to be made. They can only obey orders but cannot live independently."

"So, among the crowd that gathered by the river yesterday, there were no such people." Hua Rong rubbed her chin and thought: "Then Shu Shan'er has been on guard against Zuo Si for a long time..."

Shu Li pursed her lips and said in a semi-tangled voice: "I think it's not just him."

In Hua Rong's surprised eyes, Shu Li said bravely: "Frankly speaking, I think the existence of the townspeople should not just provide some unimportant information."

"I think the relationship between the mayor and the townspeople is insinuating the relationship between Shu Shan'er and other people."

"The mayor knows these forbidden spells, Shu Shan'er knows the spells, and he also knows the forbidden spells of the Puppet Town that he found later."

"The mayor won the trust of the townspeople by making wishes, and Shu Shaner won the trust of others by giving money."

"There is also a white cloth left by the mayor. The forbidden technique recorded on it should be a key part of Shu Shan'er's killing method."

"However, this evidence could also point to the wrong month."

Huarong listened and understood easily: "Because he is from the Fengyue tribe and knows how to make jewelry and puppets with the power to make wishes. Controlling Zuo Si briefly is nothing."

"Yes, his identity is his biggest suspicion." Shu Li added, "If we go to the river and have a look, we should be able to smear him."

"Oh? Why?" Huarong didn't understand.

Shu Li looked at her speechlessly, but Huarong said confidently: "I told you to help you play, why don't you trust people."

"If I don't trust you, I won't even say what I just said..."

Shu Li sighed and said, "Zuo Si has been buried by us. There will be no possibility of a second search for evidence, but there may be evidence left by the river."

"Although there were many townspeople watching yesterday, they were not very close, so it shouldn't be difficult to find."
