Zhou Dong frowned deeply. He looked at each of the five thin coffins, and the miserable conditions inside were the same. Although he was not a professional clerk in the yamen, he could still tell that the reasons for the mutilation of these corpses were the same.
Anyone who has seen corpses devoured by wild beasts in the wild can intuitively transfer them to the five thin coffins in front of them. Exactly the same.
Of course, if it was eaten by wild beasts, things wouldn't be so difficult. After all, there is a context to be found. Just wonder how the beast got into the city. The problem now is that although these corpses are exactly the same as the remains devoured by wild beasts, the wounds are obviously different. Especially the teeth marks on some skins, which are not caused by the sharp teeth of wild beasts at all, but the marks of human teeth!
Cannibalism is the most horrifying thing. And compared to wild beasts, the same kind is naturally more difficult to guard against.
If one or two people died, the news could still be suppressed, but with five dead, the news could not be suppressed no matter what. Even if those sisters who are under the control of Ma Liu are forced again, they will still resist when faced with the fear of their lives. After all, death is inevitable, and it would be better to be killed by Ma Liu and the others than to be eaten by others, right?
And although the sisters are all dead now, who can guarantee that the guests will not die later? Even if not, would those guests risk their lives? As a result, the business in Ma Liu's hands will be over.
"Where are the leaders of these five people?" Zhou Dong himself often looks for his sister on Yuhua Street. Naturally, he knows a lot about the scattered businesses outside the flower building.
Ma Liu waved, and three dejected young men with bruises on their faces trotted over. Ma Liu, on the other hand, asked the people beside him to cover the five thin coffins. After looking at it, it wouldn't stink so bad if I closed the lid.
"Tell me one by one what happened to these ladies when they came into your hands, and what happened to their last business before they died."
To be honest, this is not the first time Bailang has followed Zhou Dong out to get news. But it has never been as complicated and weird as this time. He also looked at the corpse in the coffin, and his heart was still pounding and his stomach was churning. I also know that this matter may not be easy to investigate.
But street wanderers just collect news. If you really want to investigate this kind of thing, I'm afraid the knife shop will have to send someone else down. So Bailang quickly calmed down and carefully considered the information provided by the three supporters in front of him.
The so-called head supporter is actually the little leader of the pimp. Each of his subordinates is in charge of some sisters. When the sisters go out and do business, they have to be checked by these support people. It was them who even showed up. Sisters don't get involved in money. Therefore, the information from these leaders is the most direct first-hand information.
After finishing speaking one by one, Zhou Dong fell into deep thought. The same goes for the whitecaps on the side.
Obviously, the murderer who killed these five sisters did not seem to be directly related to the business they last took on. Because the guests before the death of these five sisters are still alive and have been found. The situation at the time of the incident was similar. They were all just about to start trading with the elder sister, but a burst of thick black smoke came out of nowhere. When the black smoke dissipated, the elder sister was nowhere to be seen?
Later, it was not the people from Ma Liu who went to find these customers, but these customers angrily approached the three pimps to demand explanations. They believed that the pimps took the money but deliberately tried every means to take away the girl. It's to cheat them out of money.
The customer's transaction was not completed and he ran away. Naturally, the person in charge immediately apologized and rescheduled the transaction, or directly refunded the money. Start looking for someone at the same time.
The first time I thought it was my sister who got too timid and dared to run away. By the second and third time, the horribly mutilated corpse completely complicated the matter. Not to mention others, the three leaders were also afraid, and they received a lot of beatings for this.
"Black smoke? What kind of black smoke?" Zhou Dong did not directly reject the possibility because of this incredible answer, but asked carefully.
"It's said to be the kind of thick smoke that has a bit of a fishy odor, but doesn't burn or incense you. I can't explain exactly how it appeared."
Zhou Dong was silent for a long time, then turned to Bai Lang and said, "Xiao Bai, do you have anything else to ask?"
Knowing that the other party was giving him a chance to become familiar with this kind of thing, Bailang was not polite, and he did have questions to ask. Taking away the scallion and ginger bun covering his mouth and nose, Bai Lang asked: "I just heard from Ma Liu that the five sisters who died are all newcomers. How old are they? Are there any similarities in body shape or appearance? A place where we are? Or are we familiar with each other personally?"
When asked about this, the three pimps got into their own profession and answered clearly and logically. But to sum it up in a few words: The five sisters are not familiar with each other, but they are similar in age, between fifteen and sixteen. The body shape is similar, Kuhaha and others were born thin, but their appearance is still pretty. And they are no longer Hina.
"In addition to the new girls who are fifteen or sixteen years old, are there any others of this age?"
It’s up to Ma Liu to answer this question.
Seeing Bailang looking at him, Ma Liu thought for a while and replied: "There are still more, but not much. And they were all sent in the past six months. If you are too naive, you will not be able to eat this bowl of rice, and it will be easy to get into trouble. Ten She is already the youngest sister at the age of five or six. Brother Dong knows this best, he..."
Zhou Dong coughed a few times, interrupted Ma Liu's words, looked at Bai Lang and said, "Xiao Bai, have you thought of something?"
"Yes, Brother Dong, I think it is very likely that the other party is targeting a girl who is fifteen or sixteen years old. To be on the safe side, it is better to protect a girl of this age."
Zhou Dong did not speak, but looked at Ma Liu beside him and said, "Have you heard everything? You can figure out what to do yourself. We have to go back and report the news first. If there is any news about what happens later, we will tell you you left."
"Okay, Brother Dong must say a few more words to my brother! Don't forget to tell your brother if you have any news later! Walk slowly!"
...
After coming out of Ma Liu's place, Bai Lang let out a long sigh of relief. Finally I can no longer smell the lingering corpse smell. But the cruel appearance of the broken corpse still lingered in his mind for a long time.
Who is so violent that he bites and cannibalizes people? And what are those black smokes? The whole thing put together made Bailang feel inexplicably bizarre, which was very different from his understanding. This feeling reminded Bai Lang of the same bizarre thing he had experienced not long ago and the key clay figurine.
With this thought, Bai Lang subconsciously said to Zhou Dong, who was muttering to him about the situation he had just learned: "Brother Dong, do you think the black smoke is related to the rumored Qi Refiners?"
Zhou Dong visibly trembled and quickly covered Bai Lang's mouth to prevent him from continuing to speak.
"Are you crazy? Are we allowed to talk about the Qi Master?" As he spoke, Bai Lang nodded before letting go. Then he added: "You kid has a lively mind. But the disadvantage is that you can't keep your mouth shut. How can you just bring this kind of thing to those people? How should you consider reporting it and let others make judgments?
Remember, think more, see more, talk less. Haven't you heard that trouble comes from the mouth? "
