Chapter 408: Supernatural Events in Shanghai
The detective was furious. What did he mean by "I want to meet them"?
Do you think you're so great just because you killed a few people?
There are so many little lives to live, can you kill them all?
If you're so capable, why don't you go and kill the Emperor?
What are you pretending for in front of me?
You guys caused trouble and just walked away, but we still have to survive here!
But with these few days dying in such bizarre ways, the detective really didn't dare to mess with Li Ping.
He dared not refuse Li Ping's request, and stood there frozen in place...
Huang Rong sighed, recalling the stories Huang Yaoshi had told her about how servile and subservient Southern Song officials were when facing the Jin envoys…
I remembered what I had found out about how Duan Tiande had helped the Jin king persecute Guo Jing and Yang Kang's parents...
It seems that these officials of the Republic of China had a similar attitude towards their daily lives as the officials of the Song Dynasty had towards the Jin Dynasty!
Huang Rong seemed a little disheartened: "How about we leave..."
Anyway, this river of time has already collapsed; this is just a fragment of time.
Li Ping nodded silently.
Yes, this is just a fragment of time; nothing can be changed...
The four of them then left.
These police officers just stood there dumbfounded, not moving an inch.
Some time later, when the consulate police arrived and saw the body of their compatriot, they were furious: "Who did this?"
The police officers then came to their senses, their bodies trembling and their eyes filled with confusion.
Upon realizing where he was, the detective was utterly panicked: "What happened? Why are we here?"
The police officer, enraged, shouted, "Are you pretending you didn't see anything? Someone killed one of our citizens, and you think you can just get away with it like this...?"
The detective then noticed the body on the ground, but he couldn't remember what had just happened.
He broke out in a cold sweat: "I don't know! I don't know..."
"I was just drinking over there a moment ago, how did I suddenly end up here?"
"What happened? Why can't I remember anything?"
Not only him, but all the police officers were terrified, their faces pale with fear.
Xiao Rizi initially didn't believe what the police officers and detectives said.
Then they asked the surrounding merchants and thugs, but no one in the area knew what had happened before.
No one even remembered that someone had fired a shot, and the people who died on the ground were ignored...
Now the police finally believed what the patrol officers had said, and they all broke out in a cold sweat.
This is one of the most bustling areas in Shanghai, and it's packed with people even at night.
So many people, yet they didn't see what actually happened?
That's absolutely impossible!
This is practically a paranormal event...
They had no choice but to collect the bodies from a few days ago and return to report.
The autopsy reports for the individuals came out quickly—their heads had been blown off by bullets.
The bullets were fired from their own guns, but pistol bullets could never have that kind of power.
The forensic experts couldn't understand it and also thought it was a paranormal event.
For a while, life got a little chaotic!
However, they couldn't just give up like that, nor did they accept this outcome, so they put pressure on the Nationalist government...
……
Brother Chen is dead.
The Axe Gang immediately fell apart, with several leaders vying for the position of gang leader.
Just then, several other gangs wanted to take over, and the entire Shanghai underworld suddenly fell into chaos.
At this point, the detective sought help from Fatty Xue of the Axe Gang, because the Axe Gang had much better information than they did!
In the past, Fei Xue would never have taken these police officers seriously, but now that the powerful figure is about to fall, Fei Xue wants to seek outside help and find connections...
After the detective finished explaining what had happened, Fei Xue exclaimed, "It was Gui who did it!"
The detective was furious. "Your Axe Gang used to be so powerful that I had to give you some face. Now that your leader is dead, you still want to mess with me?"
Fei Xue quickly waved her hand: "It really is a ghost! A haunted house suddenly appeared in Pig Cage Alley yesterday."
"At first, none of us believed it, but when Brother Chen went to investigate, the person was dead."
"Even the experts we brought back were terrified."
"It must have been done by a ghost..."
"Shanghai is haunted!"
"You were clearly blinded by evil spirits before!"
The detective was now on edge.
What happened last night was so terrifying that it would be quite plausible to say it was the work of a ghost...
But how could the higher-ups possibly believe something like that?
Besides, if it really is a vengeful ghost, how am I supposed to deal with it?
Should we hire a Taoist priest to exorcise the ghost?
At this moment, the detective suddenly noticed the key point: "Why did you hire a martial arts master?"
Fei Xue then told the detective everything about Pig Cage Alley.
The detective muttered, "So there really are martial arts masters? Could a martial arts master really smash a person's head like that?"
But if you say that it was martial arts masters who killed these petty scoundrels, then the matter can be explained away...
These experts are just too terrifying; he dares not provoke them.
If Brother Chen hadn't died, he wouldn't have dared to mess with the Axe Gang.
Finally, the detective said, "By the way, since you were able to hire the second-best assassin in the world before, now go and invite the best assassin in the world."
"Let him go and take care of those experts from Pig Cage Stronghold."
"If you can do it, I'll help you become the leader of the Axe Gang..."
Upon hearing this, Fei Xue became excited. If the police supported her, she would definitely become the gang leader!
It's done!
When Fei Xue was looking for experts to deal with the people in Pig Cage Alley, she had already inquired about which experts were the most powerful.
They knew where the world's number one assassin was, so they found Sing and Fat Boy and asked them to summon the world's number one assassin—Fire Cloud Evil God…
Then, Fei Xue said, "That haunted house..."
The detective angrily retorted, "What haunted house?!"
Don't get involved in this kind of thing at all, and don't even bother with it.
Even if it really is a haunted house, so what? What's it to me?
……
Consulate General of China in Shanghai.
The Axe Gang's advisor, Four-Eyes, had already found the Japanese: "Sirs, I know who killed your men!"
Great joy on this little day!
They weren't concerned about a few civilians or their lives; rather, they were just looking for another excuse to cause trouble for the Nationalist government.
"It's a ghost! Last night, a haunted house appeared outside Pig Cage Alley. It was definitely them!"
Brother Chen is dead, and Four-Eyes wants to be the leader of the Axe Gang too!
His biggest rival is Fei Xue, and since Fei Xue has the support of the detective, he has no choice but to seek support from Xiao Ri Zi!
He truly believed that the deaths of those young people were related to that "haunted house"!
This mysterious "haunted house" has just appeared in the world, and people have died so mysteriously in just a few days. There can't possibly be no connection between them!
But no matter how powerful the "haunted house" is, it can't withstand Xiao Rizi's guns and cannons. As long as Xiao Rizi takes action, he's not afraid of the "haunted house" at all...
……
"Young man, I see you have extraordinary talent; you are a martial arts prodigy, one in a million. The fate of world peace rests on your shoulders..."
"I have a secret manual here. I think you're destined to have it, so I'll sell it to you for ten dollars."
A little boy holding a lollipop looked at the strange beggar in front of him and turned to leave.
The beggar shook his head and didn't say anything more.
Just then, he heard a voice say, "Oh, ten dollars? I'll pay a hundred dollars, give me a hundred books!"
"The four of us will each receive one hundred books."
"Otherwise, the foreigners next door will think I can't afford it."
The old beggar paused for a moment, then turned to look at Li Ping and his companions. After a long silence, he said, "You...aren't from this world?"
