"Sir, there are a total of twenty-three human skins on the deck, all of them are crew members of this ship." After checking, the guard came back and reported.
Qin Feng: "What about the cabin? Have you checked the inside of the ship?"
"not yet."
"Go check it out right away."
"yes."
Looking at the human skins on this deck, Qin Feng's face became solemn.
After being the head of the Qin family for so many years, this was the first time he encountered such a thing.
Who on earth could be so cruel to do such a vicious thing?
Pirates? Or bandits?
Not long after, the guards who had entered the cabin came out.
"Master, there are dozens of human skins inside, besides that..." The guard paused, hesitant about whether to say it.
"Go on." Qin Feng said.
"There's a room filled with the skinless bodies of crew members. Strangely enough, their bodies are glued to the wall like glue, impossible to pry off. Also..." The guard touched his nose and said with some reluctance, "All the jade stored in the cabin has turned to powder."
This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, and Qin Feng's face turned pale in an instant.
The reason why he came to the dock in person was because this batch of goods transported by water was so valuable.
Unexpectedly, despite all my worries, the worst situation still happened.
"Report to the police, go and report to the police."
…
As the saying goes, there is no wind without waves, and when there are waves, the lakes and seas are shaken.
The news of the Qin family's incident quickly spread throughout Qingyang City.
You can control your own mouth, but you can't control other people's.
I don't know who was the first to leak the news, but many people knew what happened on the Qin family's cargo ship.
Human skin, skinless bloody corpse, jade material turned into powder.
These three things spread more and more widely, becoming more and more outrageous, and soon many different versions of the story appeared in the community.
The most accepted theory among them was that the Qin family's cargo ship had offended the Dragon King of the Sea, so the Dragon King's subordinates, the Sea Yakshas, came to punish the crew.
It just so happens that skinning people is the way that the sea yakshas punish fishermen according to legend.
Within a day, the incident had become increasingly mysterious and caused a huge uproar. Many old men and women came to the banks of the Gusu River with various tributes, threw them into the river, and prayed for forgiveness from the Dragon King.
As for the Qin family cargo ship, the government's constables had already taken control of it. No outsiders were allowed to approach within a radius of 500 steps. Many curious people stood outside the restricted area and watched, but they could only see a few constables wandering back and forth on the deck.
"Captain Xing, this doesn't look like something a human would do."
"Xiao Liu, tell me your understanding of this matter."
"I think there must be something fishy about this matter."
Xing Biao: “…”
Liu Xiaoliu: “…”
In a room covered with skinless, bloody corpses, several detectives with white cloths tied around their faces were searching for clues.
They were all senior detectives who had worked in the Qingyang City government office for many years and had seen many tragic and bloody incidents. In the past, the young detectives could not stay in the room for long and had to run out to vomit.
The frequent occurrences really affected the efficiency of handling the case, so Xing Biao, the team leader, asked all the veteran detectives to come in and investigate the case, while the new detectives stood guard outside and did not allow the people to approach the ship.
"grown ups."
"grown ups."
Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside the house. Xing Biao turned around and saw Xun Sheng appear outside the door. He was holding a handkerchief to his nose and mouth and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xing Biao said, "Sir, these bloody corpses were all slashed off with sharp weapons. It looks very similar to the method used by the famous Jiangnan villain 'Bloody Hand Butcher'. However, we cannot confirm that it was him who did it."
Xun Sheng asked, "How long have these people been dead?"
"The coroner is still making his assessment, and I don't know for now."
Looking at the blood-stained room in front of him, with corpses clinging to the wall like spiders, Xun Sheng couldn't help but shudder and subconsciously touched the jade ring on his thumb.
You really can't look at this scene for too long. If you look at it too much, you might have nightmares at night.
Just as Xun Sheng was about to return to the deck, he suddenly heard a wooden board under his feet seem to loosen slightly. Without any reaction from him, a bloody arm suddenly broke out from under the board and grabbed Xun Sheng's ankle.
boom!
With the appearance of a hole on the ground, Xun Sheng himself disappeared from everyone's sight.
"grown ups!"
"grown ups!"
