Chapter 47: The Coffin

"Knock-knock...... While! ”

"It's eleven o'clock." This is the bell of the newly completed Mendong City Clock Tower - of course, this bell is not heard in the suburbs of Mendong City, let alone the port area. It's nothing more than a radio bell that plays simultaneously.

Although the people who can't sleep don't like the bell, for the night workers, most of them don't have the money to buy a portable clock for the time being, and the radio station chimes and the bells ringing near the outdoor factory area become tools to remind them to speed up.

"I'm about to get off work~!" Ye Liquan, the on-duty dispatcher of the Mendong City Port Authority, got up and stretched. The person on duty in the second half of the night should be there within half an hour, otherwise he will be deducted from his salary.

If it was Ye Liquan who came to work in the second half of the night, he wouldn't dare to be late. After graduating from a maritime university, he came from a humble background, coinciding with the shrinking scale of international shipping, and he wanted to settle in a second-tier port city, and he needed a sum of money to buy a house and marry a wife - the port position in Mendong City, which had very low living expenses and a considerable salary, naturally became his goal.

Of course, this position is not something that can be reached out. The strict background review is a big mountain that stands in the way before the written test and interview, and it has brushed down many of Ye Liquan's competitors. Needless to say, the written test and interview are rigorous, and only a few people can walk with him in the dispatch position......

Ye Liquan recalled the time a few months ago, and he couldn't help but wander into the world. However, there are still a few cargo ships in front of him that have not yet left the port, and he can't afford to sigh with emotion, Feng Feng and Yi Lao-hurry up and take care of your spirit and sit down.

It stands to reason that the average cargo ship would not sail at this point, unless it is a river full of thieves on the water, in which case the ship would usually anchor on the shore - and the industry on the shore is often intended for these sailors.

However, today's eviction order issued by Mendong City is even more terrifying than the most terrifying water thief. No matter how powerful the water thieves are, are they bigger than the merchant group under Vergery, who are all magicians? However, the merchant group of dozens of people is a weak person who can be solved without much effort in front of Mendong City......

The weak must have the consciousness of the weak. For Yusmanshah, the first priority now is undoubtedly to take advantage of the fact that Mendong City and even Sierta have not yet had murderous intentions, and hurry back to the control area of the Double Moon Church as quickly as possible.

He was now standing in the compartment on the shore side of the cabin, which had been Veggery's room. There was an iron box on the ground, where there were ice cubes and the remains of Vejeri. On the floor of the chamber is a magic circle that is constantly supplied with magic power to prevent the ice from melting - if the ice melts, it won't be long before the body will swell and stink in the water......

Yusmansha watched as the first cable tied to the big black iron bollard on the side of the ship was lifted, and then the Elta workers pushed the delicate gangplank back, and the boat on the opposite side was probably about the same, right? If only I could have hurried.

Heaven does not follow people's wishes, this is the best psychological portrayal of Yusmansha in the next moment.

The first change was a call into the dispatch room. From the glass outside the window, you can see that Ye Liquan's expression changed from puzzled to vigilant and nervous.

"All workers immediately stop what they are doing and exit the berth area-" As soon as the phone hung up, a loud voice resounded in all corners of the port area. At the same time, there were many police cars driving in the lights of the port area, almost stepping on the accelerator all the way to the side of the trestle.

"Do you want to cut the cable?" The panicked crew ignored the knock on the door and crashed into the room where Yusmansha and Vejerry's bodies were.

"Wow! Be careful! Don't destroy the magic circle! "Yusmansha is also anxious, and he can't make up his mind for a while." Let me think about it, but don't act rashly...... No, I'd better go up to the deck with you. ”

The wind blowing on the water brought a little coolness at this time, and Yusmansha looked at the hearts of the people under the boat even colder. The men were armed, and the hostility in their postures was palpable on the ship—and the cables that had not yet had time to be put away were now tied tighter.

There was also a strange thud in the distance. Yusmansha took a closer look, and it was a water-piloting tugboat from somewhere else - the intention of these guys, who possessed great power and could drag the cargo ship under his feet against the water, appeared needless to know.

"Don't think about cutting the cable anymore." Yusmansha thought of something, and shook his head at his subordinates. "Where can we go with the devil's boats that move freely against the water? And that's just the beginning, there's still to come. ”

The crew's eyes gradually turned terrified. That's right, they remembered that checkpoint.

"Leave it to fate." Yusmansha also stopped irritating these companions. The black-clad people below just stood in place, occasionally raising the machines in their hands and speaking strange languages from the other world, but did not communicate with the people on the ship.

Fortunately, this awkward silence did not last long. After a while, a white car painted with red stripes and another military vehicle stopped beside the pier, and people in white coats and military uniforms stepped out of the car together—and the soldier took the microphone.

"Don't get me wrong, members of the Twin Moon Church, we have no interest in your lives."

Although Elta's lingua franca with a strange accent doesn't sound very comfortable, the straight to the point makes Yusmansha and his party feel a lot more at ease.

"Well, but we still have something to ask for. I ask you to hand over the body of the head of your regiment at once, and we will return it by noon tomorrow after taking the necessary notes. Prior to that, the order that you must leave Mendong City within three hours was revoked. ”

The latter sentence made the people on the boat scared. For a while, even Yusmansha couldn't make up his mind, and the boats exploded.

"We guarantee the intact return of Vejerry's body, and on this basis, we will protect the personal safety of the members of your regiment - if you do not do so, it is not impossible, please pay attention to your safety on the way east."

"People and things are lost, or people and places ......are lost," Ye Liquan, who was watching the situation in the dispatch room, muttered.

Such a decision is not difficult for a normal person to make. What's more, the microphones of the soldiers here in Mendong City poured out a naked threat - if they are not willing to simply hand it over, then we will use force to seize it.

The people on the ships were indignant at this ultimatum, but there was nothing they could do. Even if he wanted to take away Vejerry's body and not return a single hair to the Two Moons Church, what would he do? Well, people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, and everyone thinks that it is not appropriate to hand over the corpse of the regimental commander, so it is not uncomfortable to leave the small life and the corpse together or destroy the corpse - the small life must also be given away?

Vejery now has a terrifying secret hidden in him - after his death, of course. Neither the living Wejerry nor the skull that had been rotted on the sidewalk were of interest to the Mendong side. After the brain-splashed head has been restored to its intact state, at least the outside, has the internal structure also been restored to its original state? This is a problem that the top management of Mendong City, and even the country, are paying more attention to. The answer to this question is now hundreds of times more important than anything to the Bimonthly Church trade.

It's not difficult to "return the whole thing". MRI and X-rays of the skull do not require macroscopic damage to the remains, and surgeons can cut the scalp and examine the skull back – a craniotomy is not out of the question if there is enough time.

After a while, Yusmansha nodded heavily to the subordinate next to him. It didn't take long for an army-green box to be lifted out of the cabin and strapped to a crane by the crew.

"Rocket boxes?" The first person who saw the box immediately smiled at the white paint on it. "Don't laugh, quickly carry it to the ambulance, put the sample in a different box, and send it back for them to sign for. By the way, don't forget to ask the doctor to wipe it and absorb the water, so the traditional preservation method of Elta and Lancas's corpses is to use ice cubes, so should they really be frozen fish? Toss people. ”

"And they just left?"

The port area was quiet again, and police cars, military vehicles, and ambulances drove away as soon as they got what they wanted—leaving only a few heavily armed sentinels to watch over the ships.

"No, they're not leaving." Yusmansha's face turned pale and he made a pun. "Lord Vergery is relieved, and the next thing to be deflated is we- no, it should be the entire Bi-Moon Church."

After saying this, he began to realize his stupidity. Vejerry may not have been killed for some secret at all. The reason why he voluntarily fell headfirst from the upper floor, Yusmansha should soon be fully understood by the catalysis of power.

After the autopsy of Vejerry's body, the brain surgeon in charge of the surgeon almost trembled and stitched the skull and even the scalp back together.

On the surface, this is the corpse of a very ordinary person whose heart has stopped beating for some reason. However, the Mendong City police have countless photos of the scene that can prove the tragic situation at the scene as if they had overturned the spice shop - this has to make the hearts of all who have read the report palpitate.

Regardless of the means of detection, Vejerry's brain and even his skull are "intact". Brain surgeons were even instructed to cut out a piece of tissue in the half of the brain that was originally broken and sent back to China overnight in a liquid nitrogen tank for further testing.

However, as a result, those in the know already know seven or eight points. The more important function of that piece of tissue should be to be sliced and preserved. The elves have used some means, and it is a sure fact that they have the ability to manipulate at the molecular level.

Those who are soothed by the elven images and the fantasies in their minds have long since fallen asleep, and many of them are still snoring. Ordinary citizens of Mendong City, Erta, only regard this incident as a night talk between husband and wife, or an after-dinner conversation the next day.

And for those in the know, almost no one slept tonight.
