One hundred and seventy-fifth chapter inexplicable riot
"There may be more than one corpse." Gao Chongjiu said, "Damn it, I felt like this place smelled bad when I came in! There is a faint smell! No wonder the smelly fish and rotten shrimps are drying outside!"
When Li Ziyu heard that there were still corpses, he was about to speak when suddenly there was a commotion outside. The vague noise came towards here, and a "brother" ran over and said nervously: "Master Jiu, there is a commotion outside!
It is said that there are people harvesting and cutting animals here, and everyone is going to come in and beat the prisoners to death..."
This kind of thing is not uncommon in this time and space. Some criminals with obvious crimes and great public anger are often "beaten to death" by the people during interrogation or on the way to the Yamen because of "public anger".
But Gao Chongjiu knew that it was not a matter of seconds. It had only been half an hour since they came in to handle the case - according to Australian calculations, it was less than an hour. The Ba Dao team could not understand the language and could not leak the case. As for the brothers he brought
We all know the rules. We will never speak nonsense to outsiders at will.
The only possibility is that Gao Tianshi's people instigated it - only he knows what is hidden in this Maojia Inn.
He is eager to silence him! Gao Zhongjiuxin said. It seems that these "brothers" are not only involved, but also deeply involved.
Thinking of this, he quickly said: "Everyone, please take the prisoner to the locker room first!"
The cabinet house is not only larger, but also of better quality. If you can delay it for a little longer, the National Army at Zhenhai Gate will inevitably come out to suppress the riot - Gao Chongjiu knows that this is not an ordinary "public outrage", but a violent attack.
Instigated by people, there must be some dangerous elements among them, and they cannot be stopped with just a few scoldings. Maybe they have all kinds of hidden weapons prepared, ready to take advantage of the chaos.
He called two brothers: "You guys, keep an eye on the rich man inside, don't let him run away, or let him die or commit suicide!"
Although the captain of the Ba Dao Team could not understand the Cantonese spoken outside, the noise coming from outside and the changes in the faces of Gao Chongjiu and others also knew that something was wrong outside. Without waiting for Li Ziyu's order, he immediately shouted in Japanese.
, the soldiers pulled out their bayonets and loaded them together, forming a half-moon formation between the gate and the cabinet. The bayonets faced outward and the flash caps were loaded.
Li Ziyu could speak poor Mandarin, so he hurried over to talk to him. There were mobs outside who wanted to rush in to kill people and silence them. He was asked to lead people to ensure the safety of the prisoners and the scene.
Li Ziyu's Mandarin skills were on par with those of the Japanese soldiers from the Ba Dao Squadron, and it took a while for the two of them to understand clearly.
"...Do you understand?"
"I understand!" The team leader nodded.
"Don't kill too many people..." Li Ziyu was sweating on his forehead, "They... are all people who don't know the truth... they just... don't understand what's going on..."
Gao Chongjiu said: "Ayu, stop making blind gestures. If we really fight, there will be corpses everywhere. Tell him to follow your command and hit whoever you tell him to hit. Don't shoot randomly!"
Before he finished speaking, dozens of people were seen pouring in at the gate. They all seemed to be local people. They were all dressed in shabby clothes and holding "weapons" ranging from firewood sticks and poles to paddles and pennies.
Rushing in with a menacing roar.
Gao Chongjiu saw that most of the people were ordinary people who had been incited, and he couldn't help but secretly complain. The people were extremely angry about the harvest and harvest. It was normal for the people to have such a violent reaction. In the past, the government did not prevent such things. So the people
They think that they are "removing harm for the people" and have no fear. But the situation is different now - he is not trying to "make meritorious service" after solving a major case. The key is that Australians are not easy-going people and talk about everything.
You need to understand clearly. If you really let them beat the main culprit to death, you will never get any good results.
With the ten Japanese pirates in front of me, plus a few brothers who came with me, it is absolutely impossible to stop these many people. Although the ten Japanese pirates they brought are not afraid of killing, killing innocent people is not only unreasonable and unjustifiable, Australians
His face was also dull.
While I was thinking about countermeasures, suddenly the other wall shook, and I heard someone shouting wildly outside: "There are people taking pictures of flowers inside!", "Come in and kill them!", "Beat the people taking pictures of flowers to death!"...
The wall surrounding the inn was nothing more than a bamboo fence made of yellow mud. How could it withstand the collision? In just a moment, a wall collapsed and many people rushed in.
Seeing the sword-drawing team waiting inside, the crowd hesitated for a moment. Just at this moment, someone shouted again: "This is the official duty of the Australians, and they are all for killing bad guys! Don't be afraid!"
Gao Chongjiu shouted loudly: "Dear elders! The flower-shooter has been captured! Please don't abuse lynching. We will take him to the Yamen, where he will be interrogated and then executed..."
"The government officer wants to release the person privately!", "Beat him to death and pull him down!", "The officer has eaten the thief's dirty things!", "They are in the same group!"...
Faint voices came from the crowd, boiling away the already rolling public anger. Seeing more and more people pouring in. The momentum was so fierce that Li Ziyu could only feel his body shaking uncontrollably.
Seeing that the momentum was not right, the squad leader gave an order, and the soldiers opened their hammers, put their guns on their shoulders one by one, and were ready to shoot.
Li Ziyu knew that when this row of guns was fired, seven or eight people would be killed or injured. He could not move forward or retreat, and could not help but sweat profusely. Seeing the people rushing up, the squad leader kept looking at him from the corner of his eyes. He was in a dilemma. Gao Chongjiu
Said: "Tell them to shoot a row of empty guns. After the shooting, we will retreat to the house and die - this is close to Zhenhai Gate, and a large group of people will definitely come when the guns are fired!"
Li Ziyu nodded repeatedly and quickly gesticulated with the squad leader. The squad leader muttered a few words to the soldiers. The soldiers raised their guns together and fired a volley at the heads of the mob.
The dull sound of gunshots echoed in the air, and the bullets passed over people's heads with a sharp whistle. The courtyard was filled with smoke for an instant. The people who poured in screamed in terror, stumbling and pushing each other towards what they thought was the place.
Rushing to the door. The originally surging and unstoppable crowd instantly disintegrated into countless panicked individuals, rushing into each other, screaming and running away.
Although Gao Chongjiu remained calm, the effect of the volley of guns still shocked him. Not only was it the sound and light effect that almost destroyed everything, but it also had a deterrent effect on the will of the crowd. In the past, once a civil uprising was triggered, the government officials would
You will never dare to confront the mob head-on. No matter it is a whip or a waist knife, it is useless in front of the red-eyed and rioting people.
Even in the chaotic noise, he could still hear the Japanese pirate leader's calm and awkward Chinese: "Clear the chamber!", "Load the bullet!"...
The smoke gradually dissipated, and I saw that the crowd that had almost filled half of the yard had disappeared, leaving only a dozen unlucky guys who had been crushed, trampled and injured in the chaos, moaning. There were discarded items all over the floor.
"Weapons" such as carrying poles, firewood sticks, and wooden sticks, as well as many tattered straw sandals.
Li Ziyu was in shock, her legs were trembling, and her hands were so weak that she couldn't even hold the baton. If it hadn't been for the rope hanging on her arm, she probably would have fallen after looking for it. Looking at Gao Chongjiu, his face was also ugly. He was still the same ten.
Although the Japanese pirate looked solemn, he was calm and composed. He held his shotgun at an angle, already loaded with ammunition, and looked like he was ready to attack.
The originally noisy sounds on the street outside the hospital suddenly disappeared, and the sound of the river waves washing against the river bank instantly became clear and audible. Li Ziyu's mood was extremely nervous. Suddenly, the sharp sound of a police siren came from the street. He couldn't help but feel relaxed all over.
He almost collapsed to the ground.
Wu Xiang looked at Li Ziyu with mixed emotions, and couldn't help but wonder if there was a kind of person in the world who was born to be a policeman? He remembered that when he was studying case handling with Mu Min, his master once told some interesting detective detective stories.
Among them, the one who left the deepest impression on him was a detective named Ke. Murder cases were committed wherever he went, and he brought the murderers to justice time and time again.
This inconspicuous patrol officer had been promoted from patrol officer to the Public Security Section of the city bureau within a few months of joining the job. Now, in order to track down a human trafficking case, he had solved another major case - this was amazing luck.
Even in the Ming Dynasty, the case of harvesting and mutilating was a serious crime, and some people incited the people to attack the prisoners with the obvious intention of killing them, which shows that the water behind this case is very deep. Let’s think of the case of Li Ziyu’s headless corpse.
, the case has not yet been solved, and there are many shadows behind it.
Judging from the clues that have been discovered, this group of people is not as simple as cutting flowers and cutting flowers. Wu Xiang learned it when he was studying, and also heard from Wang Zhaomin and some old servants that witchcraft and evil spirits are often involved in childbirth cases.
components of the technique.
He looked at the criminal police who were searching in this dilapidated and messy riverside inn, and an unfounded thought suddenly broke into his mind: Could there be some connection here?
The scene has been cordoned off by the Nationalist Army who came after hearing the gunshots. After hearing the news, policemen temporarily dispatched from the city are searching the scene. Because Gao Chongjiu said that the prisoner created such a big scene by the river, it is impossible for him to find the scene at the moment.
Several victims were recovered, and it is possible that the remains of more victims have not been found.
"There are no less than twenty gourds with raw materials in them. There are seven gourds with amber inside and one soul. At least seven or eight people died on this land. There are still more than a dozen empty. They are still preparing
Let’s keep going…” Gao Chongjiu said based on his experience.
Wu Xiang felt cold all over his body, an indescribable coldness of death. It was even more frightening than when he saw bandits killing dozens of villagers in public in Shiba Village when he was a child.
"Report to the section chief!" A policeman panted and came over to report, "Something suspected to be a human body was found." He spoke with a look of disgust. Obviously, the scene would never be pleasant.
Wu Xiang nodded: "Let's go and have a look." (To be continued.) 8
