The next day, before dawn, Chen Kan was preparing to go to the Imperial College as usual.
As soon as they left the house, they saw Wang Long and Li Hu, who had been promoted to 100 households, hurriedly leading people towards the door of the mansion.
Seeing the anxious look on their faces, Chen Kan raised his eyebrows and asked, "You two are not on duty at the Yamen. Why are you here?"
Seeing that Chen Kan hadn't left yet, the two of them hurriedly cupped their hands and said, "Sir."
"What's wrong?"
Seeing the two of them like this, Chen Kan knew that something must have happened in the Yamen. It seemed that God had destined him to skip class today.
Wang Long said solemnly: "My lord, our brothers who inspected the capital found six more corpses in Nancheng. The location is still Nanpo Village."
"What?"
Chen Kan's face suddenly became serious.
"Go to the Yamen."
Chen Kan decisively changed his itinerary.
He had only called everyone's attention to the man behind it yesterday, but he never expected that he would be warned today.
Yes, in Chen Kan's view, this is a naked warning.
They quickly arrived at the Yamen. As soon as they entered, a strong smell of blood entered Chen Kan's nose.
In the open space at the entrance of the Yamen, six naked female corpses lay quietly on a curtain made of bamboo mats.
At just the first glance, Chen Kan's eyes were about to burst, and his eyes almost wanted to burst into flames.
"White Lotus Sect, I will fucking kill your whole family."
Chen Kan gritted his teeth. After squeezing out a sentence from between his teeth, he turned his head to the side.
He really couldn't bear to take another look.
He was afraid that if he looked at it one more time, this picture would become a lifelong nightmare.
The six female corpses lying on the mat were all young girls, and the oldest one looked no more than twenty years old.
The youngest looks to be only fourteen or fifteen years old.
He should have been as young as a flower, but at this moment, his internal organs were ripped out, and he was lying in the open space at the entrance of the Bingma Si Yamen in Nancheng with his eyes open.
Their eyes were wide open, their faces were twisted in pain, and their expressions were ferocious, as if they had experienced some great pain before they died.
A smooth opening on the belly was cut straight from the breasts to the private parts. The skin and flesh were peeled off, and the belly was empty, and all the organs disappeared. The top half of both breasts were missing, leaving only the dead white fat exposed.
What's even more hateful is that from the private parts to the uterus, it is filled with filthy fluids.
As if to prevent others from seeing it, the horrible opening was cleaned up, allowing people to see clearly the liquid that exuded a disgusting fishy smell at a glance.
The limbs are twisted like twists and turns, in a posture that is impossible for a living person to achieve, forming a swastika-shaped symbol that is close to Sanskrit.
If the bones of the limbs had not been broken, it would never have been possible to achieve this posture.
In his two lifetimes, Chen Kan has heard or watched TV and seen countless scenes of torture and murder. However, before he saw the tragic situation of the six girls in front of him, Chen Kan could not imagine that there were still such things in the world. There are such cruel methods of killing.
Chen Kan's heart was filled with anger, and his expression was as ferocious as a demon crawling out of hell. His rationality became blinded in an instant. He only had one idea now.
"kill!"
Kill all the people of the White Lotus Sect, inflict the most cruel punishment on them, let them suffer the most cruel suffering in the world, and avenge the six girls who died tragically.
Wang Long and Li Hu, who were used to seeing dead people, looked at the corpse in front of them with sadness.
When they were in Jinyiwei, they often raped prisoners and even attacked women.
Before this, they thought Jin Yiwei's method was already the most terrifying and frightening punishment in the world.
But the death of these six girls taught them a harsh lesson.
It turns out that the human body can be dissected.
Seeing that Chen Kan had seen the miserable state of the corpses, the two of them covered several corpses with white cloths.
Chen Kan suppressed his anger and walked into the Yamen and sat down. Fang Xu served him tea. Chen Kan's hands were shaking and he could hardly hold the teacup.
A mouthful of scalding hot tea made Chen Kan's mouth and stomach hurt.
But compared to the first time he saw the six corpses outside the door, Chen Kan felt that he could barely bear the pain.
After sitting for half a stick of incense, Chen Kan's trembling body gradually calmed down.
After regaining some sense, he asked expressionlessly: "Have the identities of these victims been found out?"
Wang Long shook his head and said: "The body was discovered by the brothers on night watch and is still being investigated. The capital has too many people and it may take some time to find out the identity of the victim."
Chen Kan nodded. This was what he expected. With the methods of the White Lotus Sect, it would not be easy for the Wucheng Bingma Division to find out the identity of the deceased.
"Have you notified the county or government offices?"
Chen Kan's voice gradually changed from normal to hoarse, and the fire stagnating in his heart burned him all the time.
When he thought that these six girls were probably the victims of the struggle between the White Lotus Sect and him, he almost couldn't control the evil fire in his heart.
Wang Long said: "The body has just been brought back to the Yamen for a while, and I haven't had time to inform you yet."
Chen Kan took a deep breath and said calmly: "Since there is no such thing, there is no need to inform it. Just report it directly to the Ministry of Punishment."
"yes!"
Wang Long took the order and left. Chen Kan waved to Li Hu who was not far away: "Recite to me the appearance of the crime scene and the specific circumstances of the deceased."
Li Hu trotted forward and whispered: "Sir, the body was discovered around Yinshi. When the brothers on night watch found the body, it was neatly placed in the place where Wu Lun's body was last found in Nanpo Village.
After a brief inspection of the corpse, the night watchman found that all the limbs and bones of the corpse had been smashed into pieces, and iron nails were driven into the flesh and formed into strange shapes. They then returned to the Yamen to find someone to carry the corpse back.
The clerk in the yamen said that the six corpses died on different days. Two of them died three days ago, two more died the day before yesterday, and the remaining two died yesterday... ..."
After listening to Li Hu's retelling, Chen Kan asked: "Apart from the corpse, were there no other clues found at the scene?"
"No."
Li Hu shook his head and said: "There were only six corpses at the scene, and not even the corpse's underwear was found."
"However, according to what Zuzuo said, he had seen this method of killing before. The internal organs of the deceased were most likely..."
Chen Kan frowned and said, "By what?"
There was a trace of panic on Li Hu's face, and he said in a trembling voice: "It is most likely that someone used it to make elixirs."
"Alchemy?"
Wang Long said tremblingly: "Yes...yes."
Chen Kan knew the implication of Wang Long's words. To put it nicely, it was refining an elixir; to put it worse, it was to be eaten by others.
