"But until now, no one in the Red House has mentioned that they have lost so many women."
"So, do you know the secret? I'll tell you secretly."
"The big boss behind the red house is the real investor in charge of the small foremen. Every once in a while, he will bring in a batch of fresh women from other places."
"These women are all away from home. Incognito. After all, you know what a good reputation a woman who works in a red roof can have."
"The only reason they choose to leave their hometown and come to York City is because the price of doing that kind of work here is 30% higher than in other cities."
"But as a porter, you also know that lower-class people like us cannot offer higher prices than other towns. Then who is subsidizing the extra money you mentioned to these female prostitutes? What about?"
"In order to make people less suspicious, our great city lord really does everything possible."
As more information was revealed, Mai Fan became more shocked inside, but his face was as calm as the river outside.
After Jack finished speaking, Mai Fan asked weakly: "Aren't you afraid that I will hand these words over to the police chief? Let them convict you of more crimes?"
Jack didn't care much: "After this incident, I won't be able to survive."
"Then if I say more, wouldn't it be more fun to drag more people into the water?"
Mai Fan added: "What if you don't inform the police, but go directly to the city lord?"
"Or maybe it was revealed by people here and the city lord came directly to find you?"
"It must be uncomfortable to be silenced in advance, right?"
Jack was proud again: "You can't, you are a smart man."
"Just because you've been hiding among the porters for so long and haven't revealed anything about me... you will never be stupid enough to go to the city lord's mansion to report the news."
"After all, you have to report the letter, and the reward promised to you by the city lord will also be a life flower."
The same is true. How can private matters be known to outsiders? They must all be silenced. I just don’t know if the police station has anything to do with the City Lord’s Mansion?
You can't dwell on this matter.
In a messy place like the Red Rooftop, more people go missing every year, and injury cases are frequent, but the police station doesn't take it seriously.
I just hope that this case will have a good outcome and that the grievances of the women who disappeared and died inexplicably can be brought to justice.
Later, it wasn't until dawn that a police sergeant came over and asked Mai Fan to go back to his handyman compound first.
But these days, he can't. If you leave York City at will, you need to let the Sheriff know where he is and be on call.
I thought that for such a big case, ordinary citizens would not know the reasons quickly.
But what Mai Fan didn't expect was that the day after the case was handled, it would be the headline on all the newspapers in York City.
There are overwhelming reports related to this case.
How detailed is the content? The photos, place of origin and corresponding identity descriptions of the missing women were all published in newspapers in great detail.
If anyone can provide more clues, you are welcome to report the crime to the police station.
Mai Fan was so surprised that he spent five copper coins to buy a newspaper and read the ins and outs of the case carefully.
The context of the case was described quite clearly by tabloid reporters.
This is a top-down gang crime.
The criminal syndicate actually cooperated with a perverted serial killer.
This is truly an unprecedented case.
Its curiosity is comparable to the case of the real and fake princess a few years ago, as well as the case of the previous emperor. It was a case of father-murder and brother-murder.
The incident originated from an ancient sacrificial ritual. It is said that after this kind of sacrificial ceremony is held, people can regain their youth, make the elderly have the same vitality as young people, increase people's life span and delay people's aging.
It's just that this sacrificial process requires a lot of blood. The blood of fresh women, the younger the better.
Those participating in the sacrifice and those praying for vitality should lie in a bathtub full of blood, soak their whole bodies in it, and accept the infusion of the mysterious power in the entire sacrifice.
The process of this ritual may be once or several times, depending on the overall physical fitness of the person praying and the state of body absorption.
With such harsh conditions, no one thought that this kind of sacrifice could be realized.
Unexpectedly, the extremely vicious person turned his attention to the most mobile group of women.
With the help of money, power and perverts, they really allowed them to achieve this kind of sacrifice.
This achievement lasted for three full years.
Such a curious and effective sacrificial ritual spread among the aristocratic circles.
You must know that nobles are much better maintained than ordinary civilians, and their natural life span is much longer than those people. However, the longer people live, the more greedy they are. Who doesn't want to live a few more years?
So those rich and powerful old nobles contacted the old man in York City through various channels.
Come to this castle in the name of being invited to a dance, to verify and see for yourself how this mysterious sacrificial ceremony is performed?
Of course, they also have to try this method of sacrifice to know whether it is true or false.
Most people definitely couldn't stand the bloodshed, and after seeing it, they would automatically shrink back.
But human desires are infinite, and there are indeed many perverts among the aristocracy.
There are still a small number of regular customers who remain. The formation of a small closed circle also makes the industry chain safer and more stable.
The person who provided protection for this small circle was the Lord of York City.
Unexpectedly, this young man from an aristocratic family who had a very good reputation and made York City prosperous in just a few years... turned out to be the real behind-the-scenes controller of this perverted ritual.
If this matter hadn't been written in the newspaper and all the clues in the case had been identified, few people in the entire city of York would have believed it.
The picture of the Lord of York is posted on the far right side of the front page.
After everyone read this news, they all went to take a look at their beloved city lord. Judging from his appearance, this man with a bright smile and a very thick face does not look like the leader of a perverted murderous gang at all.
And the reason why the city lord's affairs were revealed so quickly and made visible to ordinary people in this way.
This is also due to the internal fighting within the city lord's family.
