The morning light falls on the earth, the sky is dark and the sun is rising, and the sky is bright again.
A warning cordon was set up along the Longchuan River.
Nearly a hundred human lives were lost here. No matter where they were placed, it was an earth-shattering event.
The good-hearted people came out of the town one after another and gathered at the pier where the corpses were wrapped in straw mats. They watched the excitement and the strange things, and were not afraid at all.
Xu Ping didn't show up at all last night, and no one saw him. Now he was among the crowd, eating the melons he planted.
Outside the police cordon, there were crowds of people, and everyone was busy talking about it.
Seeing the corpse fishermen pulling out corpses one after another from the river, a big brother next to him looked in disbelief: "What's going on?"
Someone next to me asked: "Could it be the work of a water ghost?"
Xu Ping ate his own melon and enjoyed it: "I don't think so. Look at the pier on the shore. There are many corpses, and they are all mutilated. How can a water ghost have that ability?"
"Hey, isn't this the shopkeeper Xu of the coffin shop? Are you joining in the fun?" The man recognized Xu Ping.
Xu Ping shook his head and said calmly: "I'm not joining in the fun. I'm here to count how many coffins we need to prepare in the shop."
When the people next to him heard what he said, they were full of envy: "Shopkeeper Xu, you have made a fortune."
"Why are you making a fortune? This is the Zhao family's wharf. Everyone knows that stingy guy named Zhao, how can he come up with this money?" Xu Ping stood in the crowd and pointed out the owner of the wharf.
Those who work here probably don't have the spare money to buy coffins. Xu Ping thought about it and decided to go back later and get a batch of thin-skinned coffins as soon as possible, which can be regarded as doing his part.
When people nearby heard that it was Boss Zhao's wharf, they started to scold him.
Regardless of whether this matter has anything to do with him or not, since he died in this place, it must be his responsibility, and the same principle applies wherever he is.
Not long after, the bodies were cleared out.
With such a cursory glance, he found that about twenty workers were dead, and about forty people from the White Lotus Sect were not dead on the shore. All of them had seen the Dragon Prince.
There is no need for those people from the White Lotus Sect to prepare.
If Xu Ping hadn't manipulated the paper figures back and forth and captured the king first, I don't know how many workers here would have died.
He was also far away at that time, and the workers who died were basically the first batch to be hacked to death.
At this moment, there was a commotion in the crowd, and two people walked out of the crowd.
The man in front of him, with a sturdy back and a uniform, was none other than Zhang Tiancheng, the director of the police station.
Captain Ah Wei, who was dripping with cold sweat, hurriedly came forward to greet him. He was neither smiling nor crying, and had a wretched look on his face.
Boss Zhao, who had a goatee and was dressed in brocade and satin, also accompanied Director Zhang. His expression was solemn and his face was ashen. He not only swept over the corpse, but seemed to be looking for something.
Xu Ping had good hearing and heard their conversation.
Ah Wei reported tremblingly: "Director, we have found out that twenty-two dock workers died, and forty-five people in white and red clothes died..."
As he spoke, he leaned close to the leader's ear and whispered: "It looks like he should be a demon from the White Lotus Sect."
"White Lotus Sect..." Zhang Tiancheng's fists clenched loudly, and a ball of fire in his heart was about to explode.
After being guarded last night, I also ran to Boss Zhao's ear and started chewing the root of the ear.
After hearing this, Boss Zhao's expression changed dramatically.
Zhang Tiancheng stood nearby and listened attentively. When he heard that the foreigner was dead, well, the fire in his heart completely exploded.
It's over, the mayor's position is gone.
No, I still have a chance. As long as this matter is not exposed, I still have a chance to make a comeback.
He sent Ah Wei to host the scene and asked in a voice that only two people could hear: "Has the news been blocked? No one will tell it, right?"
The guard replied: "Well, I have hidden the bodies of the foreigners and the mouths of the workers have been blocked, but... I have to give them some benefits."
The unscrupulous boss suddenly felt heartbroken: "Damn it, I gave them food and work, yet you dare to ask me for money, and you will find a way to get it back later."
The guard hid the contempt in his eyes and nodded.
Their conversation was clearly transmitted to Xu Ping's ears. His fists hidden in his sleeves were big and hard.
Suddenly, an old lady pushed away the policeman at the police station, threw herself on the ground and shouted: "My son, my son."
She struggled to crawl towards the body, but was stopped by the police and held up.
Zhang Tiancheng frowned and glanced at Boss Zhao: "You hired the worker here. You take her back first and you will handle the aftermath."
Boss Zhao had a bitter look on his face and had no choice but to agree. He didn't know how much it would cost. It was heartbreaking.
Not long after, some people began to disperse the melon-eating crowd. Gugui
Everyone refused to retreat. Upon seeing this, Director Zhang had an idea and shouted loudly: "Everyone, according to the preliminary judgment of our police station, an epidemic should have occurred in the workers' room of the dock. Our police station will seal off this place, and then..."
"Epidemic?"
"Run quickly!"
Before he could finish his words, the crowd of spectators screamed and fled in all directions.
An imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of Zhang Tiancheng's mouth. You see, these people are so easy to fool.
While he was thinking this, suddenly a corpse was thrown up from the river, rolled a few times on the ground, and appeared in front of everyone.
That corpse was that of a female vampire.
The onlookers were in an uproar again and stopped in their tracks. Some people recognized it at that time. It was the bat demon that was found outside the town before.
"who?"
Zhang Tiancheng roared angrily, ran to the shore and stared at the river, but found nothing.
Those who practice Neijiaquan have good eyesight. They can still see clearly within one meter under the river water, but there is not even a hair on it.
Boss Zhao had an idea and shouted loudly: "The epidemic is caused by this bat demon. Please don't get close to it."
When everyone heard this, they took a few steps back.
"Wow!"
There were two more sounds of water, and the bodies of two foreigners broke out of the water again, with sparkling water, and were thrown in front of everyone.
Now, no one can retreat anymore.
Some people think something is wrong inside. Why are there still corpses of foreigners at the dock, who came across the ocean to work and move bricks for a man named Zhao?
"Boss Zhao, why are there foreigners on your dock? You have to explain clearly, how did so many of our neighbors die?"
"Yes, Director Zhang, you can't engage in malpractice for personal gain. You must get to the bottom of it."
Someone spoke, and the crowd became agitated again, and they all criticized Mr. Zhao. Some said he was stingy, and some said he was doing evil things secretly.
No one believes in the epidemic now.
Boss Zhao was frightened by the emotional crowd and backed away repeatedly. He hurried to Zhang Tiancheng's side and felt a little relieved.
"shot!"
Zhang Tiancheng pulled out the Mauser from his waist and fired a shot into the air.
He was not so reckless as to order his men to shoot at the crowd. Instead, he ordered his men to shoot into the river.
Because, he saw several faces in the river.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"Wow!"
After several gunshots, a concave and convex figure rose into the sky, throwing out a curtain of sparkling water.
The bullets shot into her body were like mud cows thrown into the sea, without any effect.
Two tightly squeezed fists were struck at the two people standing on the shore.
As a warrior, Zhang Tiancheng subconsciously crossed his arms in front of him, and the whole set of movements was extremely fast.
He has been practicing Neijiaquan for more than twenty years. He thinks that this small fist can easily block it no matter how strong it is.
But the next second, he saw his arm approaching his face, and the pain spread throughout his body.
The arm was broken at 90 degrees, and the punch landed on his face...
Why, why, I have more than 20 years of skill, but I can't stop such a delicate fist.
Until his death, he could not figure out whether those who cultivated immortality and those who practiced martial arts could be the same.
As for Boss Zhao, he basically had no pain. He only had time to see a good-looking woman appear and then it was gone. It was quite sudden.
"boom!"
"boom!"
The two heads were suddenly blown to pieces, and the two headless corpses were thrown straight into the river.
In the river, fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs quickly swarmed up, and they were divided and eaten.
