After listening to Wang Long's words, Chen Kan's face suddenly turned cold.
Cannibalism is not uncommon in any era.
During the Wuhu period of chaos in China, human flesh once became the main ration for the warlords in the melee.
However, this time was different from those cannibals recorded in history.
Cannibalism in history was when there was really no food to eat. Even the grass roots, bark, Guanyin soil, and Guanyin soil were all eaten. It was really in desperate times that so many tragedies of cannibalism occurred.
Of course, there are also some cruel and cruel people who cannibalize human flesh, such as Zhu Jie and Huang Chao.
But this time, the murderer only selected the internal organs and ate them. This is not something that humans can do.
Even this is not something that beasts can do. Most beasts do not eat their own kind.
This is evil.
Chen Kan closed his eyes and waved away Wang Long and other subordinates in the room.
He almost wanted to break his teeth.
After a while, Wang Long and others outside the door heard various smashing sounds coming from the room.
Half an hour later, Chen Kan opened the door and walked out expressionlessly.
Wang Long came up to him and asked worriedly: "Sir..."
Chen Kan raised his hand to interrupt him: "Take me to the crime scene."
Wang Long had some doubts, but he still took Chen Kan out of the city and headed towards Nanpo Village.
Nanpo Village is just a small village.
The last time Chen Kan was assassinated, the entire village had been screened by Shi Wen's people.
Now that such a big murder happened again, Shi Wen led people to cordon off the entire village early.
When Chen Kan arrived at the crime scene, Shi Wen came up to him and said solemnly: "Sir, there are no clues found within a mile."
Chen Kan didn't say anything and walked straight to the forest where the body was found.
The vegetation on the ground was covered with dark red blood, and the soil was also dyed dark red.
Nothing else.
Chen Kan asked: "How many ways are there from Nanpo Village to the capital?"
"Three, but my subordinates have sent people to search carefully along the three roads, but no clues were found."
What Chen Kan could think of, Shi Wen, as a criminal investigation veteran who came out of Jinyiwei, naturally had already thought of it.
Chen Kan frowned and said, "There's not even any blood stains?"
Shi Wen said: "No"
"Sir, the difficulty now is that we cannot determine the origin of these six corpses. Yingtian Mansion has eight counties under its jurisdiction. No one knows where the corpses belong. We have not heard of any missing persons in any county."
Shi Wen's words made sense, but Chen Kan was still certain: "The corpse must be someone from the capital. The White Lotus Sect's move is intended to provoke me. They will not kill people from other places. There is no point in doing so."
Shi Wen frowned and was about to retort when Chen Kan suddenly asked: "What about the waterway? Has the waterway ever been salvaged?"
Shi Wen said: "Back to your lord, there are two water channels used for irrigation in Nanpo Village that are connected to the Qinhuai River. Both water channels have been salvaged by people, and nothing has been found. In addition, the water channels in Nanpo Village are very narrow, so only It is impossible to transport six corpses here using a bamboo raft."
Chen Kan nodded and transported six corpses. It was almost impossible to transport six corpses without being discovered.
"It doesn't necessarily mean transporting six bodies at the same time."
When Xu Yuan arrived, such a big thing happened, so he rushed to the scene of the crime as soon as he was on duty.
After hearing the conversation between Shi Wen and Chen Kan, he immediately interrupted the two of them.
A school lieutenant pushed Xu Yuan's wheelchair to Chen Kan. He said loudly: "My lord, I don't believe that the White Lotus Sect has the ability to transport six corpses out of the city under the dual supervision of the Jinyi Guards and the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division." Dumping the body outside.”
Chen Kan has now been blinded by anger and has lost the ability to think, and Shi Wen, as everyone knows, his IQ has never been high.
Hearing this, Chen Kan couldn't help but frown and said, "What do you mean?"
"Check the city gate. In the past three days, have you seen someone taking six women out of the city? Or, taking two women out of the city."
Xu Yuan was worthy of being a person who had been able to get into Jinyiwei by relying on his own ability and get into Jinyiwei Zhenfu. He realized the problem in an instant.
Chen Kan suddenly asked: "Do you suspect that the murderer committed the crime outside the city?"
Xu Yuan responded confidently: "Yes, and the place where the crime was committed is not too far from the crime scene."
As soon as these words came out, Chen Kan instantly fell into deep thought.
After a while, he called Wang Long over and asked, "You said the murderer took the deceased's internal organs to make elixirs?"
Wang Long said: "Sir, it's not my subordinates who say this, it's my boss who says so."
"He Zuo, tell him to come over!"
"The villain is here."
A slightly stooped man with a rat's beard slipped through the crowd and came to Chen Kan.
Chen Kan and Xu Yuan looked at each other and asked, "You said that the murderer took the deceased's internal organs to make elixirs. What evidence is there?"
The rat-bearded man shrank his head and said in a sullen voice, "Young man, I only heard about it."
Xu Yuan asked: "Who did you listen to?"
"Little man, I heard what my father said. My father was also a liar when he was young. He once told the little man that some people would take the human heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys and combine the acquired five elements to make an elixir. If you eat it, you can live forever."
The rat-bearded man responded, his forehead already covered with sweat.
The pressure exerted on him by Chen Kan and Xu Yuan was too great.
Hearing this, Chen Kan was thoughtful, involving the five elements and immortality.
This does seem like something a cult could do.
He continued to ask: "Is there a place nearby suitable for alchemy?"
"Fire is needed to make elixirs. The direction of the five elements belongs to the south, but the specific location is not clear to me."
Chen Kan looked at Shi Wen: "Is there anything to the south?"
Shi Wen looked thoughtful. After a moment, he nodded and said, "There is an abandoned earth temple three miles south."
After saying that, he frowned and said: "But my subordinates have already led people to search it inside and out. It is an earth temple."
Xu Yuan looked at Chen Kan thoughtfully, and Chen Kan immediately understood what he meant.
"Back to the city!"
Chen Kan gave an order, and a group of people who had learned nothing rushed back to the capital.
Returning to Nancheng Bingma Si Yamen, Chen Kanping dismissed everyone except Xu Yuan and Shi Wen.
The three of them conspired in the yamen for a long time before leaving the yamen with tired faces.
After wasting a day, Chen Kan decided to go to the Imperial College.
He's going to take a leave of absence.
This behavior of the White Lotus Sect has seriously provoked him to his bottom line.
If the cancer of the White Lotus Sect is not uncovered, he will not be able to sleep peacefully.
This time, he did not choose to climb over the wall, but walked into the gate of the Imperial College openly.
The main thing is that it is well known in the Imperial College that he can climb over the wall and go out at any time.
Liu Xiong seemed to have known his intention for a long time, and he happily granted him half a month's leave.
