Chapter 32: Destruction of Corpses
Bai Ze raised his head calmly, the redness in his eyes due to excitement became more and more, looking like a pair of red ghost eyes, and there was terror in the calm.
The middle-aged man suddenly realized something, and his mouth full of foul language suddenly paused. The premonition that his life was about to pass made him feel a little scared, and he suddenly regretted a little, even if he had nothing in the future, but is it not good to live? Thinking of this, he pleaded with a smile on his face, and opened his mouth to say something to Bai Ze.
But it's too late!
I don't know how many years of dark brown sticks that have been stored for many years were raised, and a terrible stick wind smashed straight into the middle-aged man's head!
The veins of Bai Ze's whole body bulged as if they were about to break free from the skin, and he saw Bai Ze staring at his scarlet eyes, without blinking, holding a wooden stick in his hands and falling down mechanically.
The middle-aged man on the ground was twisting and struggling at first, then only twitching, and then only a flick as the stick fell, like dead pork under a butcher's knife on a cutting board.
Blood splattered and then trickled, staining a large area of the surrounding land red.
The riverside, the woods, the boulders, the birds singing and the flowers are fragrant, this should be a picture of beautiful scenery and calming and cool. But with two corpses, two large pools of blood, and a young butcher, the style of this picture suddenly changed, and it was not inconsistent at all when put into a spooky ghost movie.
For a long time, it was not until his arms no longer had the strength to raise that Bai Ze woke up from the morbid excitement of killing.
Looking at the blood gourd in the flesh and blood mold lake under him, Bai Ze took two steps back and collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath with his eyes blank.
The river flowed without stopping, and there was not a momentary pause for the death of two insignificant people on the shore. The birds, which had been frightened away by the shouts of killing, gradually flew back, chirping in the trees and combing their feathers, and as the bloody breath was blown away by the river breeze, except for two more corpses on the ground, there seemed to be no change on the riverbank.
If killing Niu Er can also be classified as an element of luck, manslaughter can make the murderer feel a little less guilty. Then the middle-aged man was smashed down by Bai Ze with a stick and deliberately beaten to death slowly.
I don't know how long it took, but with the worried cry of the wine worm, Bai Ze slowly came back to his senses.
Looking at the linen clothes covered with mud and sweat stains on his body, Bai Ze's eyes slowly became firm:
"Didn't I have been prepared a long time ago! Talk about fasting! How can there be no killing and blood, if I don't even dare to kill two ordinary people, then how should I face the demons and monsters in the future!"
Thinking of this, Bai Ze's limbs also regained some strength, and he slowly stood up, and began to think about what to do with the two corpses, as well as his next plans.
Bai Ze searched the bodies of the two people, but he gained very little. Only the middle-aged man had four copper coins on his body, and this copper coin was printed with the first year of the Great Sage, Bai Ze had never heard of this era name at all, and his idea of looking for clues from the copper coins also failed.
In addition, Niu Er also had two dry buns on his body, which were black and hard, and Bai Ze couldn't eat it at all, so he temporarily put it in his arms.
Other than these two, there was nothing left on the two corpses. Bai Ze sat on the ground and began to summarize useful information and plan for the way back.
From the calluses and tattered clothes on the hands of the two of them, Bai Ze could easily see that these two people lived at the bottom of society, so he didn't have to worry about retribution from the forces of the two of their families.
Then what Bai Ze wants to hide is the government. Whether in ancient or modern times, when arresting a suspect quickly or by the police, after searching for clues at the scene, the deceased's usual crowd is first considered to determine the motive for the killing.
Although the middle-aged man called out the name "Zheng Dagou", Bai Ze didn't think that his identity was very familiar with the two of them. The reason is very simple, if the people you know are not friends, they are not friends, or there are gaps.
If it is a friend, the two will not move to kill after Bai Ze wakes up, and they should think about reconciliation. If there is a gap, with the ferocity of the two of them, they should directly kill Bai Ze while he is asleep.
Since it is just an ordinary relationship that can be named, there is no closeness and hatred, and the two middle-aged brothers are poor, and it is estimated that the family members have no money to buy the government, so let the catchers make great efforts to arrest them.
Thinking about this, Bai Ze felt that as long as he destroyed the corpse and eliminated the evidence, people would not be able to find the corpse in the short term, and they would not be able to find the first scene. Then even if he returns to the city, there should be a high probability that he will be able to escape the investigation of the government.
Bai Ze made a plan in his heart, and while no one found out here, he began to get busy.
He took off their clothes, made a rope and tied a boulder to their bodies, sinking them to the bottom of the river.
Don't ask for the two corpses to be eaten by the fish, as long as Bai Ze is found in a few days after the homicide, when the bodies of the two corpses are swollen by blisters, they can't recognize their original faces at all, and the evidence of smell or anything is completely gone, Bai Ze doesn't believe that he can still be caught with ancient technology.
After covering the blood stains of the two with soil, Bai Ze washed a blood-stained linen dress by the river, fortunately this world is summer, the sun is shining, the breeze blows for a while, and the clothes are dry.
Bai Ze put on his clothes casually, and when he got up, Bai Ze happened to find that there was a gourd filled with water by the net. Bai Ze's mind turned and he understood that these two people should be thirsty at the road, so they came to the river and happened to find themselves, and they had the idea of greedy for money.
Bai Ze broke the gourd and threw it into the river. Put away the fishing net and the three small fish in the bamboo basket, and leave the river.
Walking out of this forest, I turned a small corner, and suddenly a wide official road appeared in front of me.
Bai Ze studied on the road for a while, but felt that it was still not very reliable to judge by relying on things such as footprints and wheels, and waited on the side of the road to see if there were any pedestrians passing by.
However, this road was uninhabited for a long time, and seeing that the sun was about to set, Bai Ze had to choose a random direction and walk towards the river.
In the summer, the sun sets later, but the sky gradually darkens.
After walking for more than 20 miles, Bai Ze saw the smoke rising from a distance, and after walking for a while, a small fishing village clinging to the gentle level of the river came into view.
At this time, a middle-aged man with a fishing net on his back and a fishing basket in his hand happened to be coming head-on, and by the afterglow of the sunset, the middle-aged man saw Bai Ze carefully identify it, and laughed and said:
"Zheng Dagou, why did you shave your hair? Didn't you say that you would catch a few hundred-year-old turtles to make a lot of money? Could it be that you didn't catch the old turtle and planned to become a monk?"
After that, this strong man didn't have Bai Ze's permission, he walked up and looked at Bai Ze's fish basket, and shouted with surprise on his face:
"No, Zheng Dagou! You caught three small fish in three days out! How can anyone be willing to spend money to buy this little miscellaneous fish, if you mess around like this, when will you be able to repay Feng Gongzi's five taels of silver!"
Bai Ze snorted, but his ears were ridged, listening carefully to any information that would help him understand the world.
