Zhou Yiming looked at Yan Shikuan who was chopped to pieces on the ground, thinking that this kid deserved it.
He turned around and smiled at everyone: "Okay, everyone is in the same boat. If you want to survive, you have to listen to me."
Except for Xia Dezhang, everyone finally understood that the boy Yi Ming had just asked everyone to chop down the dead Yan Shikuan just so that they would have no way out.
This kid is too damaged.
Everyone had a lot of complaints about Yi Ming in their hearts, but since they were on the pirate ship, they could only listen to him.
"Zhou Zhizhu, the lives of my family of thirteen are all in your hands. If you have any good ideas, just tell me." Xia Dezhang was the first to express his stance.
Others also followed suit.
"Yes, we are not seeking meritorious service now, but we are seeking to be able to save our lives without making any mistakes."
Zhou Yiming nodded confidently: "In that case, tell me first, who is this thief? Who is the culprit behind him?"
Xia Dezhang did not dare to hide anything, and told Yi Ming everything about Yan Shikuan's life experience and Yan Qiu's power in the court.
"Hiss..." Zhou Ming pondered for a moment.
He had guessed just now that Yan Shikuan's origins were not simple, but he didn't expect that the backstage behind him was so hard, it was like heaven.
Now they have only three options if they want to save their lives.
The first way is to destroy the bodies of Yan Shikuan and his entourage before the old thief Yan Qiu notices them, then send the girl they kidnapped home, and then destroy all evidence.
Let these people evaporate.
But this method is useful against people with ordinary backgrounds. For a powerful old thief like Yan Qiu, you can hide it from him for a while, but you can never hide it from him forever. What's more, those little girls are sent home. It is inevitable that they will not tell what happened tonight. Things leaked out.
When the time comes, the fire will not be contained, and everyone will still be dead.
So this first path doesn't work.
The second way is slightly simpler, that is, before dawn, everyone goes home, picks up their wives and children, and flees through the night, escaping to a place where Yan Qiu's forces can't reach, and there is a glimmer of hope.
Zhou Yiming thought about it and rejected the second option, because the whole world is not the king's land. As long as it is within the scope of Da Chu's influence, you can't escape from the palm of Yan Qiu.
Even if they want to escape beyond the northern border and to the countries in the Western Region, it will take time. Even if they are one person and one horse, they will not be able to escape in a few months, not to mention that they have to take care of their families.
If the first two paths fail, then the only option is to take the third path.
Zhou Yiming's eyes lit up and he looked at everyone: "Now we are all in the same boat. The only chance to survive is to make the matter bigger and make it known to everyone."
Xia Dezhang and his brothers thought that Yi Ming would come up with some good ideas, but when they heard what he said, they were all dumbfounded.
"Making it known to everyone? Isn't it too slow to die?"
"Zhou Zizhu, shouldn't we run away now? If we make things worse, we won't even be able to escape."
Xia Dezhang wiped his cold sweat and said nervously: "Brother Zhou, doesn't the method you mentioned let us die? Even if we don't escape, we can secretly bury the bodies of Yan Shikuan and the others and burn the carriage. All the little girls in the car were silenced.
Yan Qiu couldn't find a single hair. "
Everyone felt that Xia Dezhang's method was good.
Zhou Yiming sneered and pointed at the corpse on the ground: "Kill all the little girls in the car? Then what's the difference between you and these beasts?
Even if you do this, there is no airtight wall in the world. As long as a little bit of wind is exposed, everyone will still die.
And I tell you, if you want to silence me, I will kill you like an animal and leave no one behind. "
Everyone was shocked. They had seen Zhou Yiming's strength and methods just now, and they knew that Zhou Yiming would definitely be able to do this cruel thing, so they all kept silent and just waited for Zhou Ming's orders.
Zhou Yiming looked at Xia Dezhang and asked, "Captain Xia, did we solve a major case tonight?"
Xia Dezhang nodded and said with a grimace: "Of course. The successive disappearances of women have already made people in Huijing panic. The higher authorities have set a deadline to solve the case, forcing us, the inspectors, to almost commit suicide."
"Then by solving this big case, is it a great achievement for us?" Zhou Ming continued to ask.
Xia Dezhang nodded.
No one knew what Zhou Ming wanted to say.
Zhou Yiming sneered and looked around at the crowd: "Okay, since it is a great achievement, let's accept it openly and openly."
Everyone looked at each other in confusion.
Zhou Yiming ignored these and immediately began to give instructions: "You, go back to the Yamen to get some big ropes, and also bring the gongs from the Yamen. And you, hurry to the medical clinic and find a doctor to treat you." The injured little girl.
Others gathered the dead bodies together and put them on strict guard. "
After listening to Zhou Ming's instructions, everyone did not act immediately, but all looked at Xia Dezhang.
Xia Dezhang was so anxious that he stamped his feet: "What are you still doing? Why don't you do what Brother Zhou told you to do? The situation is urgent!"
Only then did everyone start to take action.
Zhou Yiming walked to the carriage and checked Chuni's injuries.
Fortunately, she was young and light, her injuries were not life-threatening, and she had already woken up.
"Brother, I'm so scared."
Zhou Yiming held her little hand: "Don't be afraid, as long as I'm here, no one can hurt you anymore."
Soon, what Zhou Ming needed was brought back, and the doctor was also invited.
Zhou Yiming immediately asked the doctor to check Chun Nier's injury. The doctor said it was nothing serious, and he felt relieved.
This doctor had been traveling around the world for many years, and when he saw the scene was so bloody and several people died, no matter how curious he was, he didn't ask a single question.
This disappointed Zhou Yiming, and he could only introduce him to him abruptly: "Doctor, can you see if these people can be saved?"
"It has expired and cannot be saved by gods."
Seeing that the body was hardened, it was ridiculous to ask me if he could save it, the doctor thought to himself.
Zhou Yiming ignored these and pretended to be very indignant and said: "These people are the criminals who kidnapped countless women and caused countless human tragedies. They died so simply, which is an advantage for them."
When the doctor heard this, he fell to his knees and banged his head.
"Master Qingtian, you have really eliminated harm for the people!"
The doctor cried bitterly as he spoke.
A few months ago, the doctor's youngest daughter was also brutally murdered and disappeared until now. Her whereabouts remain unknown.
Zhou Yiming slowly helped the doctor up and pointed at Yan Shikuan on the ground: "Doctor, do you know who he is?"
The doctor shook his head.
"He is Yan Shikuan, the principal criminal in this case." After saying this, Yi Ming pretended to be mysterious and whispered in the doctor's ear, "His grandfather is Yan Qiu."
After hearing this, the doctor was very excited and said loudly: "It turned out that the grandson of this old thief did this kind of outrageous thing."
Xia Dezhang and everyone else were stunned.
No way? How could such a big secret be easily told to an unrelated doctor?
After knowing that the doctor was also one of the victims, Yi Ming quickly comforted him and then assured him that he would try his best to help him find his daughter before sending him away.
Xia Dezhang immediately came over and asked, "Brother Zhou, why did you tell that doctor about such an important matter?"
"Do you know why I'm looking for him?" Zhou Ming asked.
Xia Dezhang hesitated: "Aren't you going to help that little girl look at her injuries?"
"You only know one, but not the other." Zhou Yiming explained his thoughts, "As a doctor, you have to contact many people every day. If the subsequent plan does not go smoothly and we are killed, then this doctor will , you can also spread the word about today’s events for us.
As long as public opinion comes together, we will have a glimmer of hope. "
Xia Dezhang suddenly realized, and had to admit in his heart that Yi Ming's move was very clever.
"What should we do next?" Xia Dezhang asked.
Zhou Yiming looked back and forth and found that everything he needed was ready, so he said calmly: "For killing such a heinous criminal, of course I will go back to inspect the Yamen and take credit for the reward."
Everyone was dumbfounded, watching Zhou Ming's performance.
Zhou Yiming sent someone to tie the feet of the dead body with a rope, and the other end of the rope was fixed on the carriage. He drove the car himself, pulled the victim, dragged the dead body, and drove to the inspection office.
In addition, Zhou Yiming also asked others to follow him by beating gongs, and while beating them, he asked them to shout: "The murderer Yan Shikuan who kidnapped the woman has been beheaded."
The group of people beat the gongs and shouted loudly, the sound was loud.
The night was already quiet, but their voices were still clearly audible more than ten miles away.
People on the street in Chengnan District were awakened from their dreams and thought there was a fire. Many people ran into the yard. After careful listening, it turned out that the main culprit in the disappearance case was beheaded.
When the people heard this great news, they all rushed to tell each other. Some of the victims' families even cried with joy, ignoring the curfew, rushing into the streets, following Zhou Ming's team, and thanking them profusely.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Ming and Xia Dezhang were all moved.
At night, there were only a few people on duty in the inspection yamen. After hearing the shouts outside, these policemen hurried out to greet them.
Zhou Yiming jumped off the carriage and asked one of the policemen: "Is Inspector Deng here?"
The messenger said: "Inspector Deng has returned home a long time ago, and he will not come to the Yamen until noon tomorrow at the earliest."
Zhou Yiming showed a wicked smile: "I can't wait any longer. Go to Inspector Deng's house and report it to him. Our night patrol team has solved the case of a missing woman. The murderer was killed on the spot. Please invite him to come to the Yamen to take charge of the overall situation."
The policeman hesitated for a moment, thinking that this Zhou Ming was just a copy, so why did he call me here?
"Hurry up and go, it will delay the inspection. Sir, you are the only one asking for credit." Zhou Yiming scolded loudly.
The messenger didn't dare to be negligent and obediently went to Deng's inspection house to report the matter.
Xia Dezhang, who was guarding the dead body, felt very sad when he saw this scene.
This guy was eager to drag Deng's inspection into trouble. He tricked one person after another. It was really bad.
At this time, the gate of the inspection yamen was already surrounded by excited people.
