The two searched around, and the results they got were shocking.

In this small mountain pit, the two picked up thousands of scattered white bones. According to Tian Jue'er's judgment, at least a dozen corpses had been buried here.

What shocked the two even more was that most of these bones were from children, and only a few were from adults.

Zhuge Ji cleared a clearing, Lele helped, Tian Jueer slowly arranged the bones, and finally pieced together a total of twelve child skeletons and one adult skeleton.

Among them, judging from the skeletons of the children, most of them were still young children, the oldest was no more than eight years old, and the youngest was even only two years old.

But because too much time has passed, many bones have been taken away by wild beasts in the mountains. Almost all of them are missing arms and legs, and the skeletons are not complete, so Tian Jueer is temporarily unable to determine the cause of their death. .

The last adult skeleton left a clue. The skull dug out by Lele had obvious cracks from being hit by a blunt instrument. It must have been blunt force before death. Heavy blow.

Lele played a lot of roles in finding bones. Its sense of smell is much sharper than humans. It found many bones buried underground.

Tian Jueer rewarded it with a banana for this purpose. Lele smiled from ear to ear and worked even harder.

Looking at the thirteen skeletons in front of him, Tian Jueer asked blankly:

“Did you see anything?”

Tian Jueer often gives up thinking because she is not smart enough. For her, there are people smarter than herself around her anyway, so why should she waste energy thinking.

After all, thinking also requires energy. If Tian Jueer uses his brain too much, it will be like competing with the source of energy for energy. He may faint due to "hypoglycemia".

Zhuge Ji adjusted his glasses and said:

"Thirteen skeletons appeared in Mount Emei, but they have not been found for so many years. The only answer I can think of is The murderer directly erased their souls after killing them!"

Without souls, it is impossible to form lonely ghosts, let alone to accumulate grudges here, even if a Buddhist monk passes by. , and could only smell the smell of blood and putrid smell, but nothing else could be detected.

Even the animals in Mount Emei are still preying on the weak and the strong, so the smell of blood in the mountains is only normal.

"The people who killed them were not ordinary people, which also shows that this was not an ordinary murder."

Tian Jueer agreedNod.

Zhuge Ji then speculated:

"Only one of the thirteen skeletons is that of an adult, and the rest are children. This reminds me of a person - —Qi Dongqiang’s master.”

Qi Dongqiang’s master is organized by human traffickers. They specialize in kidnapping and selling children. How could there be so many children on Mount Emei besides them?

Moreover, it is inferred from the time of the skeletons that when they died, Qi Dongqiang’s master should have been active in the Mount Emei area.

Zhuge Ji squatted down, looked at the bones carefully, and suddenly said in a deep voice:

"All the skeletons have one thing in common: no matter how many bones they have lost, , none of the skeletons have complete hands and feet."

Tian Jue'er was puzzled: "What's the problem with this? Maybe it was taken away by an animal?"
< br />　“Most wild beasts do not like to eat corpses, and animals that like to eat corpses prefer to eat internal organs and have little interest in the hard-to-gnaw fleshless limbs. Therefore, even if the skeletons are incomplete, there is not a single one among more than a dozen skeletons. The probability of having complete hands and feet is not so high."

Zhuge Ji continued his analysis: "Do you think there is a possibility that they had no hands and feet before they were alive?"

Tian Jue'er's expression suddenly changed. As a poor canary who was once raised and tortured by Wu Tianfeng countless times, even though her brain was not flexible, she figured out what Zhuge Ji wanted to express in an instant.

Most of these children were kidnapped and taken to Mount Emei by the human trafficker organization that Master Qi Dongqiang belonged to. According to the rules of the human trafficker organization, they will select children who are healthy and good-looking and sell them to buyers.

Those children who are in poor health, too old, or have facial defects will have their hands and feet amputated by the organization and become poor disabled people, forcing them to beg on the streets.

These corpses, which had no limbs during their lifetime, belong to the latter category.

But for some unknown reason, the human traffickers organized to kill them and throw them into the wilderness.

Although they still couldn’t figure out the truth, the two people’s speculations were very close to the truth. Tian Jue’er couldn’t help but get red eyes when thinking about the hardships these children endured during their lifetimes, and felt the same.

Zhuge Ji was a little more rational. After analyzing the child's corpse, he finally looked at the adult's corpse.

“The child’s skeleton is understandable, but what about the adult’s skeleton?”

Because he was immersed in thinking, Zhuge Ji even forgot to be afraid. Crouching next to the adult corpse, he studied it carefully.

The corpse is that of a man, who was probably in his early twenties when he died. Was he killed by the murderer because he accidentally bumped into a crime scene organized by a human trafficker, or was he himself a member of the human trafficker organization and was just taken advantage of? ?

If the identity of this male skeleton could be known, many problems could be solved. Unfortunately, too much time has passed and no clothes or leftover items can be found.

Presumably the murderer will not let go of any property.

At this time, Lele, who was idle, sniffed his nose and seemed to find something. He dug under a big tree for a long time and finally dug out something, but only half of it was left. wooden fish.

This wooden fish has been buried underground for who knows how many years, but it is still smooth after wiping off the mud on it. Unfortunately, it is broken and cannot make any sound.

Lele held the wooden fish in his hand and played with it for a while, then suddenly, on a whim, he turned the wooden fish upside down on his head.

The broken wooden fish immediately transformed into a hat, which fit perfectly with Lele’s head and just covered its bald spot.

"Chi chi chi chi!"

Lele danced happily and swung back and forth on the tree.

Zhuge Ji’s thoughts were interrupted by Lele, and he raised his head and glared at it angrily.

After coming back to his senses, Zhuge Ji could no longer continue the reasoning clues. He could only say:

"Let's look around again. If there is nothing new, If you find out, go back and report the matter first, maybe you can get some clues."

Tian Jue'er nodded: "Okay."

Ten people appeared on Mount Emei The skeletons of two children, if this happened last month, would probably have shocked the entire Xuanmen.

That is to say, now that everyone has bigger troubles to deal with, this matter does not seem so urgent.

Therefore, Zhuge Ji decided to go back and report the matter first. As for the search for the Lotus Formation Eye, he could not wait for a day or two.
