"Hey, Mr. Zhang, don't worry. I have friends in the shipping company. I will send someone to get the tickets tomorrow morning." Smith is the owner of this hotel. Last night, he received this group of somewhat mysterious people.
The Chinese, with his decades of experience in China, understand that this is a group of old haters who have money to take advantage of. Therefore, the relationship between the two parties has developed very quickly. In fact, from last night to tonight, in just 24 hours
, he has earned more than 300 pounds from these old haters, which is equivalent to a week's profit of his small hotel!
At this moment, a few people suddenly and silently floated up on the open-air balcony. These people were holding daggers, wearing black clothes, black pants, and black scarves, but they moved like the wind. Before most people could react, they either
Killed by a dagger, or knocked unconscious by a palm! He didn't even have time to grunt, let alone scream and call the police.
"Search and hit again!" The leader of the man in black swept his eyes and walked towards the main target. Naturally, this main target was Zhang Liansan.
"Destroy all traces!" Finally, the leader of the men in black looked at the 11 people who emerged from various places and ordered.
I saw two of them pulling out two iron buckets from the bushes, starting from the open balcony, going to every room upstairs, and then downstairs, pouring a transparent liquid all the way.
"Go home, you go first!" the leader of the Night Man gave the final order.
"Yes." One of the people in the group made a gesture, and everyone followed the shadow of the trees and quickly disappeared into the distance.
"Pfft--" The man in black at the head lit a match, and then gently threw it into the flowing liquid not far away. "Boom--" The match fell to the ground, and a large ball of blazing flame suddenly burst into flames.
It turned out that the liquid poured on the ground was actually gasoline!
Just when the flames suddenly rose into the sky, the man in black had already stepped aside as fast as lightning, and then disappeared into the depths of the night at an incredible speed.
“Fire——” In less than half a minute, a miserable cry finally came out of the night sky in Gulangyu Island.
Five minutes later, the fire brigade finally arrived belatedly. However, the fire brigade facilities and technologies of this era were very backward. Looking at the hotel that quickly collapsed in the raging flames, they were helpless.
"Superintendent, it smells like gasoline." A fire police officer shrugged his nose and said.
"I have a nose," the superintendent said angrily. The smell of gasoline in the flames was so strong that even a pig could smell the choking smell.
"Hey, Superintendent, what should we do?" the fireman said, pointing to the collapsing hotel.
"A hotel with a wooden structure like this does not meet the fire protection requirements. If our rescue is unsuccessful, no one can say anything." The superintendent was not worried about the consequences.
"Superintendent, it smells like burnt corpses." The policeman's nose was really good, and he was the first to smell the difference.
"Everyone, please stand far away. Go and call the Ministry of Industry Bureau alone and report the situation here." At this time, the fire police cannot withdraw. When the fire goes out, they have to go deep into the scene to investigate.
The fire broke out at 1 o'clock in the night. At 3 o'clock in the night, the small hotel called "British House" was finally reduced to ashes. At 5 o'clock in the morning, under the command of the Police Department of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau, the fire police and security police started
Carefully inspect the situation in the hotel. At 9 a.m., all inspections were completed. There were: 27 burnt corpses, 754 deformed silver coins, as well as some iron supplies, porcelain, kitchen utensils, etc. In addition, there were
12 burnt-out Mauser pistols, and no other suspicious items.
At 11 o'clock in the morning, the forensic doctor completed the examination of 27 corpses and made a preliminary conclusion: 15 of the 27 corpses were of Easterners, especially Chinese, 12 of them were Westerners, and 2 of the Eastern corpses were
A female corpse. These corpses did not die from fire, but from murder! Fire is a typical man-made arson, intended to destroy the corpses and eliminate traces.
"Check! Check for me! What's going on, you must find out for me!" George Link, the director in charge of public security of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau, pointed at the police chief and became angry.
"Yes. Mr. George, I think this is most likely a vendetta by the Chinese! Because our people have already made a preliminary investigation. Mr. Smith received 12 mysterious Chinese people the night before and died.
Among the Orientals, this number is basically consistent with it!"
"Well, you go ahead. Try your best to collect strong evidence, and I'm going to find the Chinese to explain it clearly!" George Link immediately understood the meaning of the police chief's words, and could only blame the Chinese for all this.
, only then can we bear less responsibility, and the Ministry of Industry and Commerce can also withdraw from it. Otherwise, we can drown ourselves in just the saliva of the residents of various countries who have settled in Gulangyu Island.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the Police Commissioner came to the door again and submitted a formal investigation report:
Among the 27 dead, 15 were Chinese. Two female corpses were employees of the "British House" and one male corpse was a restaurant chef. Among the 12 Westerners, one was British nationality, Smith, and the rest were British nationals.
The 11 people are French, Americans, British, etc. who have been stationed in the "British House" for a long time. They are all employees of various companies in Gulangyu, and one of them is also an employee of the Ministry of Industry.
Cause of death: 19 of them were stabbed to death with sharp objects, and 8 died after their necks were cut. Judging from the scars on the neck, it is estimated that they were injured by blunt objects. Judging from the death and injury situation, especially the fact that the deceased had weapons.
, it is estimated that there should be more than 5 murderers.
Cause of the fire: The murderer deliberately set the fire. The murderer poured a large amount of gasoline before setting the fire, causing serious damage to the scene!
Conclusion: The murderer killed first, then set fire, destroyed the bodies and destroyed traces later. His methods were extremely cruel and cruel, and there was no humanity at all.
"Are there any clues?" George Link understood. This was a fucking headless case, troublesome.
"We checked the list of people who stayed at various hotels in the past three days and found no suspicious persons related to this case. At the same time, the police also sent officers to question the ferry personnel on duty at the pier yesterday. They said that the people who came to the island yesterday
There are very few Chinese people, and there are no cases of more than five young and strong male citizens of Oriental origin appearing at the same time. There are a few cases where there are five or more people. We have found out that most of them are bringing their families with them, and all
The owner and clerk who stayed at the hotel all testified that they did not walk out of the hotel door last night."
"So, there really is no clue? For example, the identity of the Chinese with the gun?" George Link asked.
"Mr. George, this takes time!" The police commissioner also understood at this time that the 12 Chinese people who came to the "British House" together were the crux of the case.
Obviously, the murderer was targeting them, the police chief guessed.
The Commissioner of Police's guess was very correct. A shipping company employee came to the police station in the afternoon and said that Mr. Smith had someone say hello to him yesterday evening and told him to leave 12 second-class tickets for him to Hong Kong.
Thinking of hearing this morning that his hotel was on fire and people died, he came to the police station to report the situation.
At ten o'clock in the evening, a Frenchman came to the police station to report the case. He said that the situation was quite special. He said that when he was shopping in the market yesterday afternoon, Smith happily greeted him. He asked Smith if he was happy.
Smith quietly told him that a group of fat sheep had come to the hotel and he wanted to make a fortune.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, George Link, who was annoyed by reporters from all walks of life, had to hold a press conference to announce the so-called "Inside Story of the British House Murder Case" to the outside world:
"The murder at the British House was an accidental incident. It does not represent the deterioration of the public security situation in the Gulangyu Public Concession." George first set a tone for this "murderous case" and then said, "As for the specific facts of the case, Police Department Jack
The director is in charge of the investigation, and it is said that he already has a lot of strong evidence. Now, we invite Director Jack——" George's move was very beautiful, and he successfully diverted the reporter's attention.
"Jack, Jack..." Seeing that the protagonist did not appear, some reporters began to boo.
"Ladies and gentlemen, hey, I just got some new evidence, and I'm here to tell you the inside story of the British House murder case..." As he said that, Jack raised something wrapped in a packaging bag.
, "Ladies and gentlemen, guess what's in this bag?"
"Ah..." A lady didn't expect Director Jack to play such a trick.
"Gold!" A male reporter has a very rich imagination.
"Antique!" someone started, and naturally there were others who followed the idea and guessed it.
"Crown!" a female reporter suddenly thought.
"The bones of the dead!" Some reporters said the opposite.
"The murder weapon!" Someone finally thought that this was a case, in which the murder weapon was the most important evidence.
"Okay... In the end, this gentleman's guess was very correct. It was a murder weapon because it was a Mauser pistol. However, it was not the murder weapon in this case because the deceased in this case was shot with sharp and blunt weapons.
But this case is closely related to this Mauser pistol. Let me tell you a story, and you will soon understand the truth of this case."
"Somewhere in the deep mountains and old forests of mainland China, there is a group of thieves who fly into the sky. They are highly skilled, outstanding in martial arts, and possess modern firearms. There are 12 of their brothers in total. Over the years, they have traveled north and south, robbing wealthy households and killing business travelers.
, and accumulated a considerable fortune.
One day, the boss said, brothers, the money we have saved is enough for us to spend a lifetime. Moreover, I recently heard the news that a certain official has secretly issued a reward order, offering a reward of 100,000 oceans for the lives of my brothers.
, so let’s stop. Let’s go to Hong Kong, and then go to France to live in seclusion and be a rich man, how happy it is!
Some brothers had different opinions, and the boss said, "Well, go and kill that official. If you kill the official together, the reward order will be invalidated, and we will be safe. When the brother saw the boss's attitude, he
He immediately said, Boss, I'd better listen to you. We are kings in the mountains and forests, but as long as we get to that official's city, we are no more than a dog and a cat. Have you ever seen a dog and a cat kill one?
