After listening to Wang Long's words, Chen Kan's face suddenly turned cold.

Cannibalism is not uncommon in any era.

During the Wuhu Rebellion, human flesh once became the main ration of warlords in the melee.

However, this time is different from the cannibals recorded in history.

The cannibalism in history, that is, there is really no food to eat, even the grass roots, bark, Guanyin soil have been eaten up, it is really a time of despair, there will be so many tragedies of eating different children.

Of course, there are also some fierce and cruel people who will eat human flesh, such as Zhu Ji and the Yellow Nest.

And this time, the killer only picks the internal organs and eats them, which is not something that people can do.

Even, this is not something that beasts can do, and most beasts do not eat their own kind.

It's the devil.

Chen Kan closed his eyes and waved away Wang Lung and other subordinates in the room.

He almost gritted his teeth.

A moment later, Wang Lung and the others outside the door heard all kinds of smashing sounds coming from the room.

Half an hour later, Chen Kan opened the door and walked out expressionlessly.

Wang Lung greeted him and asked with some concern, "Your Excellency, ......?"

Chen Kan raised his hand to interrupt him: "Take me to the scene of the crime." ”

Wang Lung had some doubts, but he still took Chen Kan out of the city and headed towards Nanpo Village.

Nanpo Village is just a small village.

The last time Chen Kan was assassinated, the entire village had already been screened by Shi Wen and others.

Now that such a big murder has happened, Shi Wen led people to seal off the entire village early.

When Chen Kan came to the scene of the crime, Shi Wen greeted him and said in a deep voice: "My lord, no clues have been found within a radius of one mile. ”

Chen Kan didn't say anything, and walked straight to the forest where the body was found.

The vegetation on the ground was covered in dark red blood, and the soil was stained dark red.

Other than that, there is nothing else.

Chen Kan asked: "How many roads are there from Nanpo Village to Jingshi?" ”

"Three, but the subordinates have sent people to search carefully along the three roads, but they have not found any clues."

What Chen Kan could think of, Shi Wen, as a veteran criminal investigator who came out of Jinyiwei, naturally thought of it a long time ago.

Chen Kan frowned and said, "Don't you even have blood?" ”

Shi Wen said: "No"

"My lord, the difficulty now is that we can't determine the source of these six corpses, there are eight counties under the jurisdiction of Yingtianfu, and no one knows where the corpses are, and we have not heard of any missing people in any county."

Shi Wen had a certain amount of truth in what he said, but Chen Kan still affirmed: "The corpse must be someone from the Jingshi, the White Lotus Sect's move is intended to provoke the officials, they will not kill people from other places, there is no point in doing so." ”

Shi Wen frowned and was about to refute, Chen Kan suddenly asked, "What about the waterway, has the waterway ever been salvaged?" ”

Shi Wen said: "Back to my lord, there are two irrigation waterways in Nanpo Village that are connected to the Qinhuai River, and both waterways have been salvaged by people, but nothing has been found. In addition, the waterway in Nanpo Village is very narrow, so you can only drive bamboo rafts, and it is impossible to use bamboo rafts to transport six corpses here. ”

Chen Kan nodded, transporting six corpses, it was almost impossible not to be found.

"It doesn't have to be six bodies at the same time."

Xu Yuan arrived, and when such a big thing happened, he rushed to the scene of the crime as soon as he got on a bad trip.

And after hearing the conversation between Shi Wen and Chen Kan, he interrupted the two of them with something for the first time.

A lieutenant pushed Xu Yuan's wheelchair to Chen Kan, and he said loudly: "My lord, do you believe that the White Lotus Sect has the ability to transport six corpses out of the city and dump them under the dual surveillance of the Jinyi Guard and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses. ”

Chen Kan has now been carried away by anger and has lost the ability to think, while Shi Wen, as we all know, has always had a low IQ.

Hearing this, Chen Kan couldn't help frowning and said, "What do you mean?" ”

"Check the gates of the city, and look at the past three days, if someone has gone out of the city with six women, or with two women."

Xu Yuan is worthy of being a person who once relied on his personal ability to mix with Wei Zhenfu in Jinyiwei, and he realized the problem in an instant.

Chen Kan suddenly asked, "Do you suspect that the murderer committed the crime outside the city?" ”

Xu Yuan replied confidently: "Yes, and the place where the crime was committed will not be too far from the scene of the crime." ”

As soon as these words came out, Chen Kan instantly fell into deep thought.

After a while, he called over to Wang Lung and asked, "You said that the murderer took the internal organs of the deceased for alchemy?" ”

Wang Lung said: "Lord Hui, it's not that my subordinates say it, it's that I say so." ”

"Tell him to come over!"

"The villain is here."

A somewhat clumsy rat-bearded man slipped through the crowd and came to Chen Kan.

Chen Kan and Xu Yuan glanced at each other and asked, "You said that the murderer took the internal organs of the deceased for alchemy, what evidence do you have?" ”

The rat-bearded man shrank his head, and said in anticipation: "Villain, villain has only heard." ”

Xu Yuan asked, "Who did you listen to?" ”

"Villain, villain is to listen to what my father said, my father was also a puppet when he was young, he used to say to the villain, someone will take people's hearts, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys, collect the five elements of alchemy the day after tomorrow, and eat it to live forever."

The rat-bearded man answered, and his forehead was already covered with sweat.

Chen Kan and Xu Yuan gave him too much oppression.

Hearing this, Chen Kan was thoughtful, and it involved the five elements and immortality.

This really seems like something that a cult can do.

He continued to ask, "Is there a suitable place for alchemy nearby?" ”

"Alchemy needs fire, the direction of the five elements, it belongs to the south, the south, but where it is, the villain is not clear."

Chen Kan looked at Shi Wen: "What is there in the south?" ”

Shi Wen's face showed a thoughtful expression, and after a while, he nodded: "Three miles to the south, there is an abandoned land temple. ”

After speaking, he frowned again and said, "But my subordinates have already led people to search inside and out, and it is a land temple." ”

Xu Yuan looked at Chen Kan thoughtfully, and Chen Kan immediately understood what he meant.

"Back to the city!"

Chen Kan gave an order, and a group of people who had found nothing poured back to Jingshi again.

Back at the Yamen of the Soldiers and Horses Division in Nancheng, Chen Kanping withdrew everyone, except for Xu Yuan and Shi Wen.

The three of them conspired in the yamen for a long time, and then they left the yamen with a tired face.

After wasting a day, Chen Kan decided to go to Guozijian.

He's going to take leave.

This kind of behavior of the White Lotus Sect has seriously provoked his bottom line.

If he doesn't find out the tumor of the White Lotus Sect, he won't be able to sleep well.

This time, he did not choose to climb over the wall, but walked into the gate of Guozijian in a bright way.

The main thing is that he can go out of the house at any time is already well known in the country's prison.

Liu Xiong seemed to have known his intentions for a long time, and happily granted him half a month's vacation.
