Chapter 27 Corpses in the Cave (Please Recommend for Collection~)
"Stay here and don't move."
After giving instructions to his sister, Xifa walked over with a lantern and a pistol tightly.
Indeed, as Heri Belle said, there is an inconspicuous tree hole at the bottom of this huge oak tree with cats and dogs hanging on it. Its surroundings were buried by weeds, only a small hole was exposed.
Sifa put the lantern to the edge of the cave, and the light shone into the dark space in the cave. For a moment, Xifa seemed to see something flashing in the depths of the cave, and it seemed to be just an illusion.
But the next moment, he saw a person.
A man raised his head, his eyes were blank, and he stretched out an arm in the direction of the cave entrance, as if asking for help.
"There are people."
Xifa shouted: "I saw you, I will pull you up now."
He put down the lantern, lay down on the ground, and stretched out his arms towards the tree hole.
Quickly grabbing the man's hand, Xifa immediately lifted him up. As soon as he lifted it, Xifa felt strange that the man in the cave was very light, which made him easily pull him out.
But as soon as the man was pulled out of the tree hole, Xifa was startled, because this man not only had only one arm left. What's more, the part below the waist was gone, a gray spine protruded from the body cavity, and several intestines hung down.
Fuck!
Xifa quickly let go, no matter physically or psychologically, he didn't want to continue to hold the hand of a corpse.
"Did you find anything?" Harribell couldn't see the scene behind Xifa clearly, so she couldn't help but took two steps forward.
Xifa shouted, "Don't come here."
Then he shook his head helplessly: "It seems that we have to notify the police."
At noon, Mrs. Paris returned to her house, followed by a disheveled homeless man.
Not long after they entered the house, Mrs. Paris's hysterical screams and curses suddenly sounded in the house. At this time, a team of police officers who had already ambushed in the yard rushed in and quickly brought the old lady and the homeless man out.
Next, the policemen in uniforms with a black background and white grid dug up the hole in the oak tree behind the house, and dug out several mutilated corpses inside.
Among them was Arya's mother, a poor woman who had been bitten all over her body, with her belly bitten open and her guts gutted.
These corpses made the sound of vomiting keep coming from the yard, which made Chief Kaosi feel glad that he didn't go in. Then he smiled and looked at the noble young man with black shattered hair next to him, and praised him without hesitation.
"Nice job, Sifer."
"I heard your father say that you are looking for change. I thought he was joking, but now I think Enqi Town is about to add a righteous young gentleman who is full of action."
Xifa smiled and said modestly: "I'm just doing a normal thing, not as noble as you said, Director."
At this time Paris was taken away by the police, and the old lady cursed every policeman with the most vicious language.
When she saw Xifa, she stretched out her finger like a chicken paw, pointed at Xifa and shouted: "It's you, you devil. You are blaspheming the goddess, and the goddess will punish you!"
The old lady twisted her body and struggled fiercely: "Let go of me, I didn't do anything wrong, why did you catch me! I just let those poor people go to the Kingdom of the Night. They will get eternal peace there, no Sorrow, no pain, no hunger!"
"I am the favored person of the night, you cannot arrest me!"
The old lady's voice gradually faded away, Director Kaosi shook his head and sighed: "A lunatic."
Then he said: "I hope those bloody cases can be ended as soon as this one."
I thought so too. Looking at the out-of-shape police chief next to him, Xifa said sincerely in his heart.
The incident of Mrs. Paris quickly caused a sensation in the town. People sighed for the deceased who died tragically in the tree hole, and lamented how such a tragic thing happened in Enqi Town, which has always been peaceful.
The number of believers praying in St. Witt's Church that day was three times the usual number.
Due to the death of her mother, Arya took leave of absence to go home to attend the funeral. Holly Belle gave her a week, and Anilo asked her to go to the housekeeper, Kunna, to collect 5 pounds of funeral expenses.
This brought some solace to the heartbroken maid.
The daytime passed, and the night came as expected. When the full crimson moon was hanging high in the night sky, Xifa was wearing a dark brown high-necked long windbreaker, a black iron mask, a golden revolver hidden, and shadow gloves Came to the sea monster tavern.
The tavern was still bustling and noisy as usual, and there was a gamble here tonight.
The gambling project is "dog catches mice", guests can bet on which dog catches the most mice, and even bet on specific ones.
Xifa came to the bar and tapped on the table: "Have a glass of Southwell beer."
The bartender San Qi glanced at him, served the beer and said, "You came a little early, you have to wait."
"No problem, is Bridge here? I still owe him 200 pounds." Xifa took the beer, lifted his mask, exposed his chin, and took a sip.
Sanqi wiped his glass and said, "He went out at night, and I don't know where to go."
"In this case."
Xifa took out the wallet from his pocket, counted 200 pounds, and put it on the table: "You pay him back for me."
Sanqi skillfully took out the envelope from under the table, put the money in it, and put it away again.
"Tell me about the employer. I'm already here, so don't keep it a secret." Xifa said while drinking beer.
Sanchee shrugged: "Have you heard of Doug? If you haven't, you should know 'Black Tie'?"
"Doug? Black tie?" Sifer frowned slightly in the mask. The former had no impression, but the latter had heard of it somewhere.
I suddenly remembered that I heard about the black tie from Director Kaoshi.
This is a gang on Qingyu Road, the largest gang in Enqi Town. No matter what clothes the gang members wear, they must wear a black bow tie, hence the name.
"So, tonight's client is a member of a gangster?" Xifa was considering whether to reject it, because he didn't like gangsters, whether it was in the previous life or in the present life.
Sanqi put down his glass and corrected: "To be precise, the leader of the gang."
"Tell me about this Mr. Doug." Xifa did not forget the hunter's rules, and he did not forget that the hunter should actively collect information.
Sanchi glanced at him, cleared his throat and said, "Duke, you know the rules."
Xifa chuckled and took out a 10-pound note: "Go to hell with your rules."
The bartender gritted his teeth and said, "You can't insult my work ethic with money!"
Xifa chuckled and took out another one.
"Damn it, Duke, you weren't like this before!" The bartender covered the two bills with a cup, and moved them towards himself.
"Listen, this is the last time, you can't keep doing this." Sanchi quickly put the money away.
Then, he lowered his voice and said: "Doug used to be a low-level person in this town. He was born in poverty, and his mother was a street girl. God knows which man gave birth to him. When he was young, he was always called a 'little bastard. Little Bastard' barking."
