Chapter 400: Turbulence
In the capital of the Empire of the Rising Sun, it can be said that people have been in panic for the past half month, because a skinning maniac has appeared here, and dozens of people have been killed.
The identities of these victims are diverse, but they all have one thing in common, that is, they are not weak in strength, and they can all be regarded as characters.
It would be fine if the victims were civilians, but when these people were killed, the empire would naturally come under some pressure. Just this fear caused them to lose a lot every day.
Cheng Zhiming, the leader of the Empire of the Rising Sun department, is sitting in his office. In front of him is a middle-aged man, who is his right-hand deputy Wang Bingzhi.
Wang Bingzhi said with a sad look on his face: "We have been under a lot of pressure recently. All the aristocratic families are in panic. Now at night, everyone is in a state of panic. It's like the grass and trees are all at war."
Cheng Zhiming said calmly: "What do you think about this matter? Do you have any preliminary candidates?"
Wang Bingzhi nodded and said: "I think the biggest suspects here are probably the people who caused a riot in Cuihong Tower half a month ago. It was only after these people were injured that the skin-flipping demon appeared.
Although I don’t know what their purpose of skinning is, I think it must be a very evil technique and should be related to healing. "
Cheng Zhiming nodded and said, "What I think is basically the same as yours, except that they are the guests of the fifth prince. Don't say that we don't have real evidence. Even if we have evidence in hand, how can we defeat them?"
Wang Bingzhi said hesitantly: "Then we just watch and let them continue to do evil. If the trouble becomes bigger, we won't be able to live with it."
Cheng Zhiming said with a sneer on his face: "They are in the fifth prince's house. Of course we can't do anything to them, but if we kill them when they commit crimes, it is expected that the fifth prince will be unable to do anything."
Wang Bingzhi said with some hesitation: "But it seems that the background of these people is not simple. Will this cause unnecessary trouble? How about we go talk to the fifth prince."
Cheng Zhiming coughed and said, "Even if we want to talk to the fifth prince, we must first teach these guys a lesson, otherwise there will be no results at all."
Wang Bingzhi nodded in agreement and immediately went down to send people to arrange the arrangements. He must teach those guys a lesson.
Soon it was night. Wang Bingzhi changed into a pair of coarse linen clothes, hid the sharp knife on his body, and walked slowly on the street, patrolling around secretly with his two eyes.
He yawned, turned around and walked into a street. He saw the night wind blowing the leaves, and the street looked very cold.
He quickly stopped and saw a tall figure standing there at the end of the street. This man had a grimace on his face and his eyes were full of cold light.
A look of panic immediately appeared on his face, and he turned around quickly to run back. Unexpectedly, a fat man with the same grimace appeared behind him.
He swallowed and asked very nervously: "Who are you and what do you want to do?"
The fat man chuckled and said, "We don't want to do anything, we just want to borrow something from you."
Wang Bingzhi took out a short knife from his waist and said with trembling hands: "If you want to borrow anything, as long as I can give it, you can take it."
The big man walked up to him in a few steps and said in a sharp voice: "We want to borrow your skin for use. What do you think?"
A smile suddenly appeared on Wang Bingzhi's face. He waved the short knife in his hand and pulled out a knife flower out of thin air.
He smiled and said: "Take what you like. I have been waiting for you for a long time. Skynet will not miss anything. Let's see where you two bastards run today."
There was light all around, and many policemen showed their figures. All of these policemen held crossbow arrows in their hands, and the arrows were glowing with cold light, pointing directly at the two people.
Wang Bingzhi laughed and said: "You two will be captured immediately. I may consider letting you live. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."
The big man looked around disdainfully and said, "Do you think that a little thing like that can hurt me? I'm going to skin you today to see what you can do?"
Wang Bingzhi shouted loudly and said: "You two are really toasting me instead of eating and being fined with wine. Shoot arrows for me."
After he finished speaking, he leaned back, and an iron shield actually appeared on his body. The crossbow arrows were immediately shot over, densely covering the two of them.
The short fat man moved and hid directly behind the big man. Those crossbow arrows pierced the big man's body, turning him into a hedgehog.
Hearing his loud shout, the crossbow arrows on his body shot back immediately. The policemen were in a panic because they were unprepared. More than a dozen people were hit by arrows and fell from the roof. They didn't know whether they were alive or dead!
The remaining detectives also shouted, took out their weapons, jumped down from the roof, and rushed towards the two men.
Wang Bingzhi also reappeared, waving the short knife in his hand, and attacked the short fat man, while the big man was handed over to the remaining agents.
The fat man's body swayed, rolling to the side like a meat ball, and then he moved his hands and a person appeared directly in front of him.
Wang Bingzhi was surprised when he saw this man. This was exactly one of the victims. He was a swordsman master, but he had already seen his body, so why did it appear here again.
Seeing this man holding a long sword in his hand, he stabbed him directly with the sword. Wang Bingzhi dodged to the side and shouted sternly: "What's going on, Master Zhang?"
The man ignored him at all. Instead, he raised his sword and swept towards him. He blocked it with a single sword and observed it carefully again.
He found that this man's eyes were dull, and there was no life in his eyes at all. From this, he could conclude that this man was clearly a puppet.
As for the other detectives, there was nothing they could do against the big man. The guy was like a layer of cowhide, and every blow was like a defeat.
A head catcher screamed loudly, and then several more catchers rushed out, shaking their hands to break out the chains. The chains immediately had three layers inside and three outside, tightly wrapping the big man.
The detectives pulled on the chain one after another. The chain was made of black iron and was impossible to break free from. However, these detectives exerted their strength at the same time and immediately pulled the big man down.
The big man kept struggling on the ground, and the short fat man was also very anxious. Wang Bingzhi seized the opportunity and chopped off the puppet's head with a knife.
