Chapter 67 Jiang Can carefully put Xie Yu's mouth...
Jiang Can carefully peeled off the tape from Xie Yu's mouth and then used a kitchen knife to cut the rope binding her.
Xie Yu's wrists were chafed raw and bleeding, a testament to how fiercely she was struggling.
Xie Yu burst into tears and threw herself into Jiang Can's arms: "Brother Shen Lang, Sister Can Can, you've come to save me."
She recognized the two of them at a glance.
Last time, in that dilapidated mine, Shen Lang rushed in and kicked the human trafficker to the ground.
This time, in this blood-soaked room, Shen Lang and Jiang Can rushed in together, and Shen Lang kicked the murderer to the ground again.
Jiang Can patted her back to comfort her, "Don't be afraid, you're safe now."
Fortunately, we arrived in time.
Shen Lang pressed Huang Mao into the bathtub, made him drink his fill of water, and before he drowned, he pulled him out and threw him on the ground.
Yellow Hair collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath; he had almost drowned.
Xie Yu wiped away her tears, rushed to Huang Mao's side, and slapped Huang Mao across the face repeatedly. Huang Mao raised his hand to fight back, but Shen Lang stepped on his hand and crushed it with force, and his hand bones shattered with a 'crack'.
The blond-haired man screamed in agony.
After slapping him enough, Xie Yu raised his foot and stomped hard on the blond-haired man's crotch.
The blond-haired guy screamed in agony.
Jiang Can came out carrying a kitchen knife and stood in front of another victim. "Don't be afraid. We've already called the police. They'll be here soon. I'll untie you now."
This girl was in a much worse state than Xie Yu. She was wearing an elegant cheongsam, but it was now covered in blood. Her exposed skin was also badly bruised, with burns, pinch marks, and her face was terribly swollen, as if she had been brutally beaten.
I don't know how much torment they suffered.
Tears streamed down her face, her eyes still filled with terror, and her whole body trembled.
Jiang Can sighed, used a kitchen knife to cut the ropes binding her, and then cut the ropes binding her hands.
She was free, huddled in a corner, trembling all over.
Jiang Can tried to peel the tape off her mouth, but as soon as he got close, she trembled even more, so Jiang Can stopped. "I've already called the police, they'll be here soon. The bad guys have already been beaten to a pulp, no one can hurt you anymore."
Shen Lang tied Huang Mao's hands and feet and left the bathroom.
Xie Yu stomped on Huang Mao's legs again, and after confirming that they were completely shattered, he quickly followed him out.
Huang Mao let out another shrill scream. Shen Lang turned around and glanced at her, his lips twitching. No wonder she's called the "Exploding Egg Girl".
Xie Yu pointed to the kitchen, "That's where they dismembered the bodies!"
Shen Lang walked over and stood at the doorway, looking inside. The room was completely covered in a thick layer of plastic. On the table was a large, one-meter-long cutting board with an axe and a sharp blade. Next to it were a hand grinder and a meat grinder. Further inside was a large sink...
Shen Lang did not go in and disturb the scene.
Xie Yu glanced over and immediately saw the half-disposed corpse in the pool. She couldn't help but gag and dared not look any longer, reaching out to hug Jiang Can's arm.
These people are real killers; they take money and then kill the people they've tortured.
She couldn't help but tremble; she had almost lost her life. Her eyes were brimming with tears. Why was she so unlucky?
Jiang Can comforted her, "It's alright now. Go to a temple that's supposed to be efficacious and burn some incense for peace. Also, donate some money to get rid of the bad luck."
Otherwise, how could I be so unlucky?
Xie Yu: ? ? ?
Jiang Can walked up to another girl and said, "Do you want to see the miserable state those female bosses are in? The police have already been called, and they'll be here soon."
I'll settle this score before the police arrive.
Xie Yu squatted down and took the girl's hand, saying, "Let's go get revenge."
The girl immediately withdrew her hand and remained huddled in the corner, trembling violently.
Jiang Can sighed and stopped talking.
The girl took Jiang Can's hand.
Jiang Can ripped the tape off her mouth and, together with Xie Yu, helped her up. She was covered in injuries and had great difficulty walking. She moved forward step by step. Her injuries were severe, and blood flowed down her legs to her ankles, a shocking sight. Jiang Can's heart trembled, and her eyes reddened. "I'm carrying you on my back. We're on the second floor."
Jiang Can carried her on his back and went up to the second floor with Xie Yu.
Shen Lang opened the door to the second floor.
Inside the room, three people lay unconscious on the floor. Lying by the door was the proprietress, who was wearing a cheongsam. Blood was still flowing from the gash on her head, and there was already a pool of blood on the floor.
Jiang Can put the girl down, and the girl moved in front of the proprietress, took the hairpin off the proprietress's head. The hairpin was exceptionally sharp, like a thick needle. She raised the hairpin and stabbed it fiercely into the proprietress's chest.
The proprietress was jolted awake by the stab, screaming in pain, "Fuck you, you little bitch, I'll kill you!" and kicked him.
Jiang Can: "You still want to harm people!" He reached out and pressed down on the landlady, and Xie Yu also came over to help.
The girl trembled under the proprietress's glare, her fear preventing her from moving an inch, and she stood rooted to the spot, hairpin in hand.
Jiang Can: "What are you afraid of! No one can hurt you! The police will be here soon! Hurry up and do what you want, or you won't be able to do it when the police arrive."
I've offended so many people and left too many shadows.
The quickest way to get rid of the shadow is to fight back!
The girl mustered her courage and raised the hairpin to stab the proprietress again.
Xie Yu slapped the landlady's face hard.
Jiang Can: "Idiot, how much strength does your hand have!" He winked at Xie Yu.
Next to it is a copper ladle, used to serve roast goose.
Xie Yu slapped the proprietress across the face with a copper spoon, yelling, "I'll teach you to lie to me! I'll beat you to death!"
She was tricked into coming here by the landlady.
The girl poked the proprietress in the chest with a hairpin, and then poked her in other places.
The landlady's face hurt, her chest hurt, and her lower body hurt, as if she had been crushed. She rolled around in pain, but Jiang Can held her down and she couldn't resist. She cursed, "Bitch, bitch, I'll kill you all."
Outside, police cars arrived with sirens blaring and stopped downstairs.
Jiang Can: "The police are here!!! Hurry, hurry, we're saved!"
Hurry up and move on to the next one.
The girl rushed up to the short, fat man again, and poked his testicles with her hairpin. The short, fat man had broken one arm and was now bleeding to death, his face contorted in pain.
Jiang Can and Xie Yu helped the girl vent her anger.
I don't know what material that hairpin is made of, but it hasn't bent even after being used for so long; it's very sturdy.
Xie Yu kicked it twice more, afraid the hairpin wouldn't break it.
It's Manager Wang's turn.
After being drugged, Manager Wang woke up in a daze, followed by a sharp pain that shot straight to the top of his head. It was that same bitch he had trampled underfoot who had done it.
He opened his mouth to speak, but the copper spoon slapped at his face again and again, knocking out his teeth along with blood. He couldn't let these people beat him, so he endured the excruciating pain and fought back, but Jiang Can held him down and he couldn't move.
He, a grown man, was unable to move.
The girl poked him like a madwoman. Manager Wang not only lost his eggs, but his inner thigh was also pierced and he screamed in pain. Before he could even scream, two more spoons hit his face, and he lost two more teeth.
Footsteps sounded on the stairs, and several policemen pointed their pistols at Shen Lang. "Police, put down your weapons."
Shen Lang tossed aside the machete and kitchen knife, raised his hands, and said, "We called the police. The murderer is inside, and the crime scene is upstairs."
The police continued to watch Shen Lang warily. He was covered in blood and holding a blood-stained kitchen knife, making him look like a murderer.
One of the policemen said, "Shen Lang?"
Shen Lang nodded. The world is really small sometimes. One of the policemen was the one who raided the hotel for prostitution the day before yesterday.
The policeman said, "He is a student at the police academy."
Several policemen walked to the door with their pistols in hand. Inside, it was a scene of extreme bloodshed. Three girls covered in blood were beating a man, while two other girls lay on the ground, groaning in agony.
The woman in the cheongsam was wailing on the ground. Her clothes were covered in blood, and her chest and lower body looked as if they had been pierced by needles, with blood seeping out in patches. The ground was covered in blood.
The short, fat man was in an even worse state; one of his arms had been cut in half, leaving a bloody mess with visible bone fragments. His pants were also covered in blood, especially the area where he had taken them out, where the blood had soaked through his pants.
The pitiful woman in the cheongsam was stabbing a man in a shirt with a hairpin, again and again, as if she had gone mad.
The girl finally stopped; she seemed to have lost all her strength and collapsed to the ground.
Jiang Can quickly hugged her, "The ambulance will be here soon, you're safe now."
The girl sobbed and wept, her blood-soaked hands trembling. She had taken her revenge.
Xie Yu: "Officer, you've finally arrived! Arrest them!" He then kicked Manager Wang's arm again.
Manager Wang screamed in agony.
For a moment, the police couldn't tell who the victim was, but only for a second. Shen Lang and Jiang Can were covered in blood but were indeed unharmed. However, the other two girls were in a terrible state, soaking wet as if they had just been pulled out of the water, with swollen and red cheeks. The woman in the cheongsam, in particular, was severely injured.
One of the policemen looked at Xie Yu and asked, "Are you Miss Xie Yu from the Xie family?"
The police station has seen Xie Yu's photo.
Xie Yu: "It's me! Are my family looking for me?"
The police officer nodded. "Ms. Xie, the entire city's police force is looking for you."
The Xie family searched for Xie Yu all over the capital, blocking airports and train stations and using all their connections, only to find that the girl who had disappeared for a whole morning was in this remote restaurant.
Shen Lang: "There are still undisassembled corpses in the innermost room on the third floor. These people are repeat offenders who rob and extort money, then kill and dispose of the bodies. No one in the restaurant has left."
Two policemen went in and subdued the three women, including the proprietress. The short, fat man had to be rushed to the hospital immediately; he had lost consciousness due to excessive blood loss.
The guests in the next few private rooms were shouting for the police, saying that someone had locked them inside.
One of the policemen said, "We'll release you once we find the key, don't worry."
There aren't enough people right now, and it would be difficult to control them if they were released, for fear that criminals might hide among them, so we simply don't release them at all.
The ambulance has arrived.
Jiang Can led the girl downstairs first. The moment they stepped outside, the scorching sun shone on them, dispelling the darkness.
The girl's eyes were full of tears. She had escaped from this awful place. It was so good to be alive.
Jiang Can carried her to the ambulance, where two doctors took her, placed her on a stretcher, and pushed her into the ambulance.
The girl turned to look at Jiang Can and said, "Thank you."
Jiang Can: "Live well."
Jiang Can and Shen Lang will stay here for now and go to the police station later to cooperate with the follow-up investigation.
The owner and three others were also temporarily taken to the hospital.
Xie Yu didn't want to go to the hospital; she wanted to go to the police station with Jiang Can. Holding Jiang Can's hand tightly, she said, "I'm going to the police station too. I don't need to go to the hospital. I'm fine; my face just hurts a little!"
She was slapped several times; the man's slaps were very forceful, and her face swelled up.
Jiang Can: "I need to get the medicine. It's already swollen, and the corner of my lip is also broken."
Xie Yu reached up and touched his mouth, hissing in pain, "It's nothing."
Shen Lang bought a new towel from the side and handed it to Jiang Can. Jiang Can put the towel on Xie Yu's head and dried her hair. After wiping it a couple of times, he stopped and said, "Dry your hair yourself."
Xie Yu: "Waaaaah, my hand hurts, my hand hurts so much."
She was only 16 years old, still a young girl. She held up her hands, and there was a red mark around her fair wrists, with blood seeping out. She looked miserable. She looked at Jiang Can with her beautiful peach blossom eyes.
Those eyes are so similar to Shen Lang's, and he's acting all cute and affectionate towards her like this...
Jiang Can picked up the towel again and continued to wipe her hair. She noticed some scabs on her head and that she had been injured, so she moved even more gently.
She was very patient with Xie Yu, and it certainly wasn't because of his charming eyes, but because of the 50,000 yuan Xie Yu had given her before.
A house in Liaoxian County.
Shen Lang brought over another bag of medicine: iodine, cotton swabs, wound medicine, and gauze.
Xie Yu: "Brother-in-law, you and my sister are so good to me. You saved me twice. You are my dearest sister and brother-in-law."
She doesn't have an older sister; she's an only child and has always wanted one more than anything in her life.
If Shen Lang weren't married, it's not that she couldn't offer herself to him, but stop! Absolutely not, he's too much like her older brother, she wouldn't offer herself to him even a little bit.
Xie Yu nuzzled against Jiang Can, "Dear sister."
Jiang Canbai got a younger sister.
Shen Lang lifted his eyelids slightly. "How did you get arrested? Did you go out alone?"
She was abducted just six months ago, and her family is very wealthy and powerful. How could they possibly let a young girl go out alone again?
Xie Yu hung her head, "We went to the botanical garden this morning. After I argued with my friends, they left. I didn't wander off; I called home and sat in a crowded part of the botanical garden waiting for my dad to pick me up. Then I ran into that landlady. She talked to me, but I ignored her. I don't remember anything after that. When I woke up again, I was here. They told me to call home for money, but I was too scared to call. The girl who called last got her throat slit." Thinking about all this, she felt a chill run down her spine and threw herself into Jiang Can's arms, feeling both sad and frightened.
Jiang Can let her fall into his arms, took out iodine, and first disinfected the scabs in her hair. The wound was small and the bleeding had already stopped. He then applied another layer of wound medicine.
Shen Lang frowned as he watched, and tried to pull Xie Yu aside, saying, "Sit down properly."
Xie Yu ignored him and hugged Jiang Can's waist, sobbing.
Jiang Can patted her back and said to Shen Lang, "Don't scare Xiao Yu."
Shen Lang: ...
Jiang Can cleaned the scabs off Xie Yu's head, then took her hands and helped her disinfect and apply medicine. Her most serious injury was the scar on her wrist.
These marks were caused by the ropes rubbing against Xie Yu's skin as he struggled.
Xie Yu hissed occasionally, and Jiang Can said, "Bear with it, I'll be gentle."
Shen Lang was annoyed. This girl was deliberately trying to get into his wife's arms. A girl who could slap someone's balls must have a strong mentality. She slapped someone with great force just now, but now she's afraid of pain.
He entered the restaurant and followed the police to screen suspicious individuals.
After Jiang Can treated Xie Yu's wounds, the two went outside to sunbathe. It was around two or three in the afternoon, when the sun was at its strongest, and Xie Yu's clothes and hair dried in no time.
The wet patches and bloodstains on Jiang Can's body had dried in the sun.
After a while, two military jeeps arrived in the distance and stopped in front of the restaurant. The doors opened, and a woman wearing a puff-sleeved blouse and a black pencil skirt rushed over. "Xiao Yu."
She reached out and hugged Xie Yu, saying, "You scared your mother to death."
If other people's children go missing for half a day, the adults won't be worried at all; they'll just think she went out to play. But Xie Yu is different; she has had a lot of misfortunes.
I've been hit by a car, fallen into a river, and tumbled down stairs.
She was abducted by human traffickers six months ago, and now she's been kidnapped by a murderer.
Five more people got out of the car and surrounded Xie Yu, checking her injuries.
Xie Yu's injuries were not serious; what was serious was what would happen if he hadn't been rescued.
Xie Yu broke free from the crowd and reached out to take Jiang Can's hand: "Thanks to Sister Jiang Can for saving me, otherwise I might not have survived."
Jiang Can looked at this family; they were all very good-looking, several of them with captivating eyes, all staring at him. Jiang Can felt inexplicably dazed.
Oh, so Xie Xun with a flat nose has appeared.
His nose is noticeably flat.
Xie Yu's father looked at Jiang Can and recognized him at a glance; they had rescued Xie Yu in Liao County.
This is the second time.
He expressed his sincere gratitude and bowed deeply to Jiang Can, saying, "Miss Jiang, thank you for saving Xiao Yu again."
Jiang Can quickly helped him up, saying, "It was just a coincidence."
Xie Yu: "Mom, the last time I was abducted to Liaoxian, it was Sister Cancan's husband who rescued me. My brother-in-law is amazing. When he deals with bad guys, he's just like my older brother!"
Xie Yu's mother held Jiang Can's hand, her voice choked with emotion, "Can Can, thank you."
Xie Xun thanked Jiang Can, saying, "Miss Jiang, thank you for saving Xiao Yu twice!"
Jiang Can remembered him; she had met him once before at Director Peng's dinner party. She said again, "No need to thank me. My husband and I encountered this situation, and no matter who was in the restaurant, we would help them."
Xie Yu's father and uncles entered the restaurant. They had rushed over after hearing the news, but they didn't know what was going on inside.
Seeing that Xie Yu was in good condition, with minor injuries and a good overall situation, they assumed it was just an ordinary kidnapping and extortion case. Little did they know that this place was a ruthless den of killers.
The restaurant that serves stewed goose in a hot pot doesn't extort money; instead, they extort money, torture people until they are maimed, and then kill and dismember them.
There was one body left that had not yet been dissected in the area where corpses were processed on the third floor.
Xie Yu's father broke out in a cold sweat, his head spinning, and he could barely stand. He had to hold onto the table to steady himself. The man in military uniform next to him went up to the third floor; he was Xie Yu's uncle.
Xie Yu's father followed closely behind and ran upstairs.
On the third floor, the doors to all four rooms had been opened. The first three rooms were ordinary but luxuriously furnished, and a lot of gold and silver was found inside. The fourth room was cordoned off, and forensic doctors were collecting evidence and taking photos for archiving inside.
The body had been covered with a white sheet and placed in the center of the room.
He closed his eyes. Xie Yu was the only girl in the family, and she was pampered and spoiled growing up. But she had a lot of misfortunes and almost died several times.
A commotion broke out on the second floor. People in one room started making a scene, demanding that the police release them immediately, saying they would report the police if they were delayed in getting to work.
The police unlocked the door, and Shen Lang asked, "Is the food here good?"
There were six middle-aged men in the room, all of whom had drunk quite a bit and were now completely drunk. They were all shouting that the food was delicious and making a fuss about leaving.
One of the men with a crew cut didn't speak, so Shen Lang asked again, "Is the food here good?"
The crew-cut man said, "It's delicious."
Shen Lang: "Wrong. How could human flesh taste good? This pig's head is made from a human face, and I don't even know which part of a human this goose is made from. This piece looks like rump meat. How could it taste good?"
The others, of course, didn't believe him. Shen Lang picked up a piece of pig's head with his chopsticks and said, "This is real pork." He then picked up another piece and said, "This piece is human flesh."
The two pieces of meat are not the same.
The men were terrified and started vomiting violently, even bringing up bile.
The crew-cut man was also slumped over the table, vomiting violently, but nothing came out.
Shen Lang laughed heartily: "You believe even this? You idiot."
Like a villain in a movie.
The group of people who were vomiting were furious and cursed at Shen Lang: "You!"
The crew-cut man's expression kept changing.
Shen Lang grabbed the crew-cut man and said, "This guy knows some information. Take him back and question him in detail."
The other two policemen exchanged a glance and handcuffed the crew-cut man.
The crew-cut man yelled, "I don't know anything! I have nothing to do with this restaurant, let me go! I just came here to eat."
Police officer: "Take your words to the police station."
The others chased after Shen Lang, cursing, "Fuck your mother, what kind of meat is this?"
Shen Lang turned around: "Pork, goose meat. What else?"
His eyes were cold, and the men felt a chill run down their spines, so they all shut up and dared not curse anymore.
Shen Lang walked towards the stairwell and ran into a middle-aged man in military uniform. The man was walking quickly, but stopped in front of Shen Lang. He looked at Shen Lang and asked, "Are you Shen Lang?"
Shen Lang also looked at the other person and saw the shoulder insignia on the other person's uniform, a gold star, indicating that he was a lieutenant general.
A lieutenant general in his forties.
The Xie family is really powerful.
He nodded. "Hello, I'm Shen Lang."
Xie Yu's father also came down from the third floor, his legs trembling and his forehead covered in sweat. His daughter had been saved from the brink of death by Shen Lang and Jiang Can. He held onto the handrail, his voice trembling: "You saved Xiao Yu's life again."
His Xiaoyu almost died.
If something happens to Xiaoyu, Xi Ling won't be able to go on living. He's lost his wife and daughter, and he can see the end of his life in the blink of an eye.
He bowed deeply to Shen Lang, saying, "You saved Xiao Yu twice; I will never forget your great kindness."
Shen Lang didn't let him bow down, and helped him up: "It's all a coincidence. No matter who it is, Can Can and I will save them."
The group went downstairs together.
Xie Yu's father pulled Xie Yu aside and said seriously, "Xiao Yu, kneel down to Mr. Shen and Miss Jiang. They are your second parents and will be your godparents from now on."
Xie Yu: ? ? ?
Xie Yu's uncle: "Xiao Yu, kneel down."
Her father and uncle forced her to kneel down and kowtow to Shen Lang and Jiang Can.
Jiang Can quickly helped Xie Yu up; she didn't want a sixteen-year-old goddaughter at all.
Thinking of the scene where Xie Yu called her godmother...
Shen Lang was speechless.
Unfortunately, they couldn't hold her up. Xie Yu's mother held Jiang Can's hand and said, "Can Can, you deserve her kneeling."
Xie Yu knelt down and kowtowed to Shen Lang and Jiang Can, respectfully calling out, "Sister, brother-in-law. From now on, you are my own sister and brother-in-law."
She absolutely refuses to call them godfather and godmother!
Jiang Can helped her up, and Xie Yu reached out and hugged Jiang Can, saying, "Dear sister."
Mother Xie said, "Can Can, A Lang, from now on we are family." She looked at Shen Lang and said, "I think A Lang and Xiao Yu look somewhat alike, both of them have very distinctive peach blossom eyes."
Xie Xun stepped forward and said, “I think Can Can and Xiao Yu look more alike. They are both very beautiful, just like members of the Xie family. Beautiful people are beautiful in different ways, but when they stand together, they are equally pleasing to the eye.”
When everyone looked, it was indeed true.
Xie Xun then said to his mother, "Auntie, doesn't your company have a big-budget movie? Give Can Can a role. Can Can is an actress; she's acted in a movie before."
Xie's mother asked in detail, "Are you an actor?"
Jiang Can: "I am a freshman at Huaqiao University. I have acted in two TV series before."
Xie's mother praised Jiang Can's abilities and told her to come to the company for auditions whenever she had time, and to play whichever role she was most suitable for.
Jiang Can readily agreed.
Shen Lang, Jiang Can, and Xie Yu all had to go to the police station to give statements; all three were victims.
A black sedan pulled up, and a young-looking woman got out. She was wearing a light pink dress, and her waist-length curly hair was tied back with a matching ribbon.
She rushed over and grabbed Xie Yu's arm. "Xiao Yu, what happened?"
Xie Yu turned around and said, "Auntie, I'm perfectly fine, nothing's wrong with me."
Xie Xun: "Mom, Xiaoyu almost got into an accident. Weren't you performing in Haicheng? Why are you back?"
The woman said, "Xiao Yu had an accident and didn't even tell me. How could she be so careless? What would we all do if something serious happened to her?" She looked at the bandage wrapped around Xie Yu's hand and asked, "Is it serious? Does it hurt?"
Xie Yu: "It doesn't hurt! I didn't suffer this time. I taught the bad guys a lesson!" She pulled her second aunt, "Aunt, this is Jiang Can, my newly recognized older sister. This is Can Can's husband, my brother-in-law."
The woman's gaze fell on Shen Lang's face. For some reason, her heart skipped a beat, her eyes stung, and she felt a strange, indescribable sensation.
Jiang Can thought the woman was very beautiful, especially her temperament, which had a kind of aloof and fragile quality.
Xie Xun stepped forward, blocking Shen Lang's way: "Mom, quickly buy two sets of clothes for Xiaoyu and Cancan, they can't wear their clothes anymore."
The woman told her assistant to go buy clothes.
Shen Lang and Jiang Can also got into the police car, while Xie Yu rode in another car with her parents. When they arrived at the police station, the two gave separate statements, detailing how they had been deceived by Wang Aiguo. Shen Lang said, "When I got into the car, I saw a clump of curly hair and thought it was suspicious. What happened next made it even more suspicious. I wanted to see what he was up to, and it turned out to be a big case."
It is indeed a big case. They all know that there must be quite a few people who died in the restaurant, but the exact number needs to be investigated and they need to get the four women, including the proprietress, to talk.
The man that Shen Lang had exposed was indeed suspicious. He was a regular customer at the restaurant and often took leftover food back to feed the dozen or so old sows he kept at home.
More specifically, we'll have to wait for someone to speak up.
