There was a clear mark of ligature on the girl's wrists and ankles. It looked like she had been wearing something like handcuffs before, and for quite some time.
Qin Yuesheng suddenly had an idea in his mind: this is the stolen child!
"The mastermind behind this incident turned out to be a human." Qin Yuesheng used a knife to cut off the black scarf on the man's face, and suddenly a rough man's face was exposed in his eyes.
"This person..." Qin Yuesheng frowned. Although this was the first time he saw this person, he didn't know why he felt vaguely familiar with him.
In an instant, Qin Yuesheng thought of the inn he had visited today, and suddenly he understood.
This person was standing in the crowd at that time. He was in the same group as Su Hang.
"So it's you." Qin Yuesheng said secretly.
Zhu Wu stared at Qin Yuesheng in pain and hatred. He wanted to resist, but the force with which the other party stepped on his mouth was too great. He was completely unable to resist. Zhu Wu had no doubt that as long as Qin Yuesheng put more force on his foot, both rows of his teeth would fall out in an instant, and even the bones on his face would be shattered to pieces.
Although his lower body was in great pain, Zhu Wu endured it and did not dare to struggle in order to survive.
But he was obviously overthinking it. How could Qin Yuesheng show mercy to someone like him?
"Why did you capture the child in Jixiang Town? Answer me honestly, or I will kill you with one knife." Qin Yuesheng put the iron knife against the other's neck and threatened.
As Qin Yuesheng loosened his grip slightly, Zhu Wu immediately had the opportunity to speak. He quickly answered honestly, "Someone, someone paid us to steal children under the age of twelve in Jiangnan. Ten taels of gold per person."
"Who is that person?"
"I don't know either. Our boss has always been the one to liaise with the customers. People like me are always just responsible for doing the work."
"Your boss is Su Hang?"
"No, he is also the boss's subordinate, but his status is higher than ours. We respectfully call him Second Brother."
"I understand." Qin Yuesheng had just finished speaking when he swung his knife in front of Zhu Wu's incredulous gaze. The head fell to the ground, leaving a bloodstain more than half a meter long on the ground.
"You're a scum who can't even kill a child. I'm already being merciful by killing you with a single blow." Qin Yuesheng spat at Zhu Wu's body with disdain. "Adults should play with adults. You're crossing the line by attacking the weak."
After dismembering Zhu Wu, Qin Yuesheng picked up the little girl's body and disappeared on the spot.
Now that we know who is behind the disappearance of children in Jixiang Town, there is no need to delay any further. We should just go straight to the other party's lair and attack them directly.
Qin Yuesheng hid the little girl high up in a house, and immediately set off to the inn he had visited during the day.
…
Su Hang jumped into the backyard carrying the two children. Like everyone else, he was wearing a nightgown and had his face covered tightly.
At this moment, in the backyard of the inn, a bald man in tight clothes was already waiting for him.
The moment he saw this person, Su Hang immediately put the child on the ground, walked over respectfully, clasped his fists and said, "Brother, you are back from Yangzhou Prefecture."
"Well, how's the situation over there? Haven't we been discovered?" the bald man asked in a muffled voice.
"Everything is normal, but this morning an official came and said he wanted to investigate, which made me a little worried."
"Official? Is there only one?"
"Yes."
The bald man stroked his chin and thought for a moment, "We're still seven children short of what they want. If we try to catch them somewhere else, it'll inevitably take time. Anyway, let's get on with our business. If that officer is a threat to us, take him and kill him immediately. Don't leave any traces."
"I understand." Su Hang nodded.
They were a group of desperate criminals, and killing people was as easy as drinking water with food. There was no difference between killing a government official and killing an ordinary person, except for the impact on the government afterwards.
While the two were talking, men in black carrying children came in from outside the yard, and soon there were twelve more children in the yard.
"Let's get started and get started." Following the order from the bald man, Su Hang and others immediately began to act on their own.
Su Hang walked to a sleeping calf, grabbed its back skin, and pulled it hard.
In an instant, Su Hang pulled off the entire hide of the calf, leaving only a complete cow skeleton in its place.
The calf, which was originally alive and moving, turned into this appearance in the blink of an eye. The scene was really scary to watch.
Su Hang dragged a child he had captured and placed him in the center of the skeleton. As he put the cowhide in his hand back on the skeleton, pieces of flesh and tendons suddenly grew out of the child's body, tearing his clothes, covering his body, and finally covering the entire skeleton.
As the cowhide was put together completely and seamlessly, the calf opened its eyes, shook its head and tail, and stood up from the ground, crying.
The child is gone, and he has completely merged with the calf.
Accustomed to this kind of scene, Su Hang calmly carried another child and walked towards a goat nearby.
Not only him, at this moment, other people in the backyard were also doing similar things, combining the captured children with the beasts in the yard.
The bald man put his hands behind his back and watched the whole process with a calm expression.
