Chapter 239 It’s done
At night, everything is silent.
There is no moon tonight, so the stars seem especially numerous, twinkling in the sky.
A deliberately low male voice broke the silence, "Madam Shang, will the murderer really come?"
Shen Qi hunched his back and lay by the window, squinting his eyes and looking out through the open gap.
Except for a candlelight in the house opposite, everywhere else was pitch black, with only vague outlines visible.
"If you were the murderer and knew someone had seen your face, would you come and kill to silence them?"
"If I'm the murderer," Shen Qi thought seriously for a moment and shook his head, "No, this is clearly a trap."
He has seen his face but instead of reporting to the authorities and asking for asylum, he stays in the house and waits for people to kill him. How stupid is that?
"So you are not the murderer." Shang Wan stretched out his hand to completely close the crack in the window, turned around and said, "This murderer killed six people in a row, and dared to do it under the noses of the officers and soldiers. He is braver than you."
Maybe the murderer enjoyed the thrill of challenging the authority of the government.
Shen Qi was about to retort that he was quite courageous, but Shang Wan suddenly raised his hand and made a gesture to silence him, "Shh~"
somebody is coming.
Shen Qi subconsciously covered his mouth, blinked his eyes, and silently asked what to do next.
Shang Wan didn't have time to pay attention to him. He gently opened the door and slipped out through the crack.
Shen Qi hesitated for a moment, then lowered his footsteps and walked out quietly.
In the room opposite, on the desk by the window, a white candle had burned halfway.
The young man who was looking at the account book by candlelight glanced at the candle on the table and his heart was beating fast.
It’s been two hours, the murderer shouldn’t be here, right?
He wanted to go to the house opposite to seek shelter from Shang Wan, but he was afraid that if he didn't follow the plan, Shang Wan would attack him directly.
He is just a small accountant, why would he be involved in such a thing?
Wow, he has it so hard!
The young man was still thinking with his head down, and he didn't notice that the candlelight on the desk suddenly flickered, and even the shadow on the wall behind him began to shake and gradually became hideous.
Silently, a shadow appeared on the wall and slowly approached the young man.
"Why is the light so dim?" The young man rubbed his sore eyes and looked in the direction of the candle.
The young man's heart skipped a beat when he suddenly caught sight of something out of the corner of his eye.
There is someone else in the room besides him!
This realization almost made the young man's entire body freeze in place, and he even forgot to put down his hands that were rubbing his eyes.
It’s over, it’s over, my life is going to end here!
Mother, I am so unfilial!
Almost at the same time, a very light laugh came from behind, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman.
The young man got goosebumps when he heard this, but he also broke free from his inexplicable stiffness.
He bit his tongue hard, pushed the table and tried to run out.
But it was too late, the cold wind brought by the blunt weapon had already reached the back of his head.
Finished!
Just as the thought crossed his mind, the window in front of the young man was suddenly broken, and a plain figure broke in through the window and kicked the axe-wielding man behind the young man away.
There was a loud "bang" and the candle flame began to shake again.
Shang Wan kicked the axe into the corner, and kicked the man in black lying on the ground again.
"It's solved, come in." She shouted outside, squatted down, and reached out to turn over the man in black who was face down on the ground.
woman!
A woman with a large scar on the left side of her face!
Under the flickering candlelight, the thorn-like scar that occupied half of his face looked particularly hideous.
Judging from the experience of two lifetimes combined, the woman had burns on her face.
"Is this the murderer?" Shen Qi rushed in with his men and squatted next to Shang Wan.
Shang Wan reached out and pushed aside the woman's scattered black hair to reveal her left ear. There was indeed a gap on the earlobe.
This person should be the figure that the young man saw.
"Come here and introduce myself." Shang Wanchao waved to the young man.
The young man didn't dare to raise any objection, so he had to walk over and look carefully.
At first glance, he was startled by the scar on the woman's face.
"Heh." The woman sneered, looking at the young man with a sinister and poisonous gaze, like a poisonous snake.
"Come here." Shang Wan covered the woman's eyes and turned to look at the young man, "If you take another step back, I'll beat you up."
youth:"……"
He came over with a wronged look, trying to ignore the scars that were not covered, and looked carefully at the woman's left ear.
After a while, he confirmed: "The person I saw was her."
Yes, that’s easy.
Shang Wan let go of the woman's eyes and pulled back the hair that he had just pushed aside to cover the woman's mutilated ear.
She looked directly into the woman's eyes full of hatred and asked, "Did you kill all the people in the caravan?"
……
……
"Boss Zhan, please sign quickly." Madam Lou pressed the brush into Boss Zhan's hand and said kindly, "The caravan has lost its morale and people are dying one after another. It's already good to sell it for 10,000 taels. If you delay any longer, the murderer will kill a few more people, and you won't even have 10,000 taels left."
Boss Zhan hesitated while holding the brush. He was unwilling to accept the fact that such a good caravan was only sold for 10,000 taels.
"Boss Zhan, don't hesitate. What if the murderer feels that killing the caravan members is not enough and turns to you..." Madam Shu covered her mouth. "Look at my mouth. How could the murderer turn to Boss Zhan?"
"Sister Shu, I heard rumors that the murderer was a ghost who came to seek revenge." Madam Hua looked at Boss Zhan with a smile, "Boss Zhan, how true do you think this is?"
Boss Zhan's face was grim, and he tightened his grip on the brush. "Don't take ghosts and gods seriously."
"Really? I think it's quite interesting." Shang Wan put down the teacup and continued, "It is said that the more miserable a person's death is, the more powerful the ghost he turns into. He can drag people down to the eighteen levels of hell and never be able to reincarnate."
Boss Zhan felt that there was something else behind the words, but after looking at Shang Wan's expression, he thought he was overthinking.
After hesitating for a while, he signed the contract after being persuaded by the girls.
The money and goods are both settled.
Boss Zhan ordered his men to hand over all the indentures, accounts, documents, etc. of the caravan owners to Shang Wan and his party.
Shang Wan and Madam Shu took the contract and looked at it carefully, and there was a hint of joy in their glances at each other.
Shang Wan cleared his throat and shouted, "It's done, everyone come in."
Boss Zhan was just about to ask Shang Wan who he was calling in when he suddenly saw a team of police officers coming out from behind the screen wall and striding towards him.
He suddenly had a bad premonition, especially when he noticed that there was a woman in blue following the officer. The bad premonition continued to grow stronger and stronger, almost bursting through his heart.
He asked almost subconsciously: "Who are you?"
The woman in blue raised her head, her burned face exposed to the sun, "Childhood sweethearts, young couple, but after only five years of not seeing each other, have you forgotten me?"
“You, you are…” After seeing the face clearly, Boss Zhan stepped back in horror, his lips opening and closing constantly, but he was too shocked to utter a word.
"What? You even forgot my name?" The woman in blue stepped closer, her resentful eyes seemed to want to eat the man alive. "You killed your wife and children, you are so cruel, Zhan Liang, have you slept well all these years?"
