C19 A Human Life Was Lost

That's the good thing about bitter wells. A group of people appeared out of nowhere and surrounded them. Zhang Shuai'er could not help but move closer. When he saw them, the faint fear in his heart merged with reality.

The person lying on the ground was a person who was used to stealing small bones. Half of his face fell into the mud, and half of his face was still clean. His mouth was twisted and half open, as if he was trying his best to catch his last breath. Perhaps he wanted to tell someone something, but now, no matter which one of these two was... He was unable to complete it. Because his neck had already been twisted into an angle beyond the reach of a living person.

The surrounding crowd only pointed and pointed, but no one came forward to help. They were all saying that such a person who walked on the roof all day long would also fall down and die. It was karma. There were also those who were silent and felt that it was inconceivable.

Zhang Shuai'er felt a chill all over his body. The cold sweat that he had just let out made his clothes stick to his body. He was so cold that he trembled and almost could not move. The jade pendant that was hidden in his chest... It weighed more than a thousand kilograms at this moment. It was so heavy that he could not breathe.

After staggering away from that place, Zhang Shuai'er composed himself. He hurriedly used the secret code he had agreed upon to contact Pann Jiaolv and told him everything. He also gave him that hot potato like jade coin. He took some silver taels. Perhaps he wanted to go out and avoid the limelight for the time being.

After listening to Pann Jiaolv's vivid and vivid explanation, Zhang Jingxuan still had one thing that he did not understand. "Brother Pan, you said that the Lei family's influence in the city is frightening enough. Why did the Li sisters of the Red Sales Building not buy it at all? What kind of background do they have to speak in such a manner?"

Pann Jiaolv smiled evilly, "On what basis? Just with them, they are the capital. Furthermore, their surname is Tanuki. Listen up, Tanuki and Lei. Don't you feel that it's rather ambiguous? The Lei family is originally half the ruler of this city. Do you think that they only do business in restaurants and tea houses? Those are just a pretense on the surface. In fact, the water is really deep."

Pann Jiaolv once again wore a self-deprecating smile on his face," That lass, Li Hong, I heard that there is someone who is unable to do anything. It was something that people would never forget. What was even more amazing was that each room in the Red Sales Building had its own unique features, and they were all refurbished. Of course, when people came, they wanted to come, but when they came, they didn't want to go. Sigh, I'm telling you, you don't understand even a little kid like me. In short, Li Hong is a madman. She can make others die for her. She doesn't mind dying at any time. So, who would bother with what she said? "

Zhang Jingxuan did not really understand what she said, so he decided not to care about it. As he spoke, he walked back to the yamen unconsciously. Although it was already night time, it was a very serious matter. Everyone still had to rush back to report the situation of the investigation.

When they entered the yamen, they saw that Zhan Kuiyuan's group had already returned. It seemed like there was nothing much to be gained. Pann Jiaolv boldly reported those brief reports to County Magistrate Zhao and the Cold Chief. He also handed over the jade pendant.

County Magistrate Zhao and the Chief of Cold Guards pondered for a while. They felt that this matter didn't seem to have much to do with the current situation. They ordered Pann Jiaolv and Zhang Jingxuan to put this matter aside for now and keep it a secret until the crisis was over.

They had also been tired for a day. County Magistrate Zhao ordered them to go back to rest and continue the investigation the next day.

While the people of the yamen were resting, the people of Lei family were still searching around the city day and night, causing chaos.

The next day, Zhang Jingxuan followed Pann Jiaolv around for an entire day, but he still found nothing. Along the way, he saw several groups of servants and guards of Lei family looking around for information. It was obvious that Lei family was still unwilling to give up any hope.

That night, no one expected that things would develop in a new direction.

The number of victims had increased again.

The one who found out was the Zhao family's Fourth Master. That night, he decided to "pay a visit" to the Red Sales Building in Sweet Sweat Lane to have fun with Li Hongliu. He wanted to experience that energetic feeling again.

In the end, after knocking on the door for a long time, no one answered. It was not that the Li sisters had never gone out before, but if both of them really went out, their business place would definitely leave messages and customers.

Master Zhao could not open the door, so he could only curse and leave. At this critical moment, someone else told this unusual matter to the constables. Zhan Kuiyuan led Pann Jiaolv and the other police officers to open the door of the Red Sales Building and found that the room was in a mess. The two sisters had disappeared without a trace.

Although there were no victims who came to report to the officials, the bad things in this world were like dandelion leaves blown away by the wind, flying all over the city. These few days, the city had already been bustling with noise and panic. People in the yamen had been checking day and night. The people of Lei family did not sleep or rest, but in the end, such a thing had actually happened. Some people couldn't help but feel threatened. Fortunately, it seemed like they were only targeting women. It didn't cause any greater panic.

Lei Benlei came to the yamen again and it was said that he had lost his temper. He pointed out that County Magistrate Zhao was not capable enough and asked him to send more people to ask for help from the higher ups as soon as possible. He wanted to solve the case as soon as possible. If he still didn't do anything, the Lei family would have to go around the government. He would do it himself.

County Magistrate Zhao could only smile bitterly. The matter had escalated to this point. It was indeed out of his control. It seemed like it was imperative to report to the Prefecture. However, whether the Li sisters had really gone missing or not had yet to be decided. The eldest daughter of Lei family had also gone missing for less than three days. Before things got out of hand, he still had a little hope to salvage the situation. He still wanted to give himself and his subordinates a little more time.

Unfortunately, on the third day, a matter had completely dispelled all of County Magistrate Zhao's fantasies.

As the saying goes, good fortune never comes alone.

County Magistrate Zhao waited bitterly, and without waiting for anything else, the third group of people he had sent had finally returned.

The two people from the third group, Zhang Juanqiu and Feng Lianzhong, rushed back in unison. Unfortunately, when they went out, they were two living people. When they came back, one was dead and the other was alive.

The one who came back was Zhang Juanqiu, and the one lying on the ground was Feng Lianzhong.

Zhang Juanqiu was about 35 years old. He had a long and thin body, and he didn't have much flesh on his body. Someone was calling him bamboo pole behind his back, and basically no one dared to call him that in front of him. Only he had the courage to call him 'bamboo pole'. Because just by looking at his appearance, one could feel that this person was not that easy to get along with. His face always carried a bit of melancholy, perhaps because he was born with a natural appearance with eight eyebrows.

Actually, he had never seen anyone who had a grudge with him before, so of course, it was not that he was popular. He always kept a distance from others, except for his work. He was always alone. He had never seen anyone close to him.
