My Endless Life

Chapter 199 It's over... huh?

There's no rush to check the scene.

Li Qiaoqiang dragged Li Qi to finish breakfast, and then everyone followed Jiang Ming to visit the Feisha Gang's territory again.

From yesterday to now, about seven or eight hours have passed.

Because there were constables going in and out of the Feisha Gang's station, there were also many curious passers-by outside the Feisha Gang.

They pointed at the Feisha Gang, and they were quite gloating in their conversations. Some people looked happy, as if the Feisha Gang had a great grudge against them.

Noticing the expressions of these people, after entering the Feisha Gang's base, Li Qiao couldn't help but ask Jiang Ming:

"Why do I feel that these people seem to hate the Feisha Gang?"

Jiang Ming explained:

"This area is under the jurisdiction of the Feisha Gang. On weekdays, the Feisha Gang will often ask these people to collect "stall fees", saying that they will protect them after collecting the stall fees."

"Did they protect them?"

"Hehe, Miss Li, if they protected them, these people would not be like this."

Jiang Ming smiled helplessly.

Li Qi explained on the side:

"Most of the underworld gangs are like this, extorting in the name of "protection", and few really protect the vendors."

"The government doesn't care?"

Li Qiao looked at Jiang Ming with a squint.

Jiang Ming whispered: "The Feisha Gang is a regular gang with records in the county government, so..."

Li Qi continued: "To put it simply, the Feisha Gang is the black glove of the county government."

Hearing what Li Qi said, Jiang Ming remained silent, which was considered as tacit agreement.

Li Qiao sneered: "So that's how it is. The officials and bandits are colluding and working together. I understand."

"..."

This time, Jiang Ming and Li Qi were both silent.

Li Qi looked at his sister in this life, wanting to speak but stopping, and finally shutting up and saying nothing.

Feisha Gang was like this, but Qiqiao Villa... was not as "simple" as Li Qiao imagined.

In addition to the six major sects, other sects, including those first-class sects, have more or less backers behind them.

Some are local government officials, and some are the six major sects themselves.

Qiqiao Villa and Xuanjianmen are the same.

While they are allied with each other, they also have relationships in the court, but they are not obvious.

Just like the people in the Jianghu don't like the court, the civil and military officials in the court don't like the people in the Jianghu.

But for the sake of interests, they have to contact each other.

So it became a situation where they dislike each other on the surface, but secretly communicate with each other.

Jianghu, it's a big interest field.

Li Qiao couldn't understand, but Li Qi, who had experienced four lives, could see it clearly.

Without further discussion, everyone came to the place where the bodies were placed yesterday.

As soon as they arrived here, Li Qi and Li Qiao frowned almost at the same time.

The expressions of the two were very obvious. Not only Bai Yuzhu, who was always paying attention to Li Qi, saw the changes in their expressions, but Jiang Ming also noticed this.

He immediately asked:

"Did the two young men find anything?"

"It smells a bit."

Li Qi frowned and said.

Li Qiao nodded: "It smells a bit... Although the smell is very light..."

"Is it the smell of corpses?"

Bai Yuzhu asked on the side.

A lot of people died here yesterday, and it's summer. It's normal for the smell of corpses to remain overnight.

Li Qiao shook her head: "Not really, it's hard to describe..."

"It's the smell of pigs."

Li Qi explained: "It's like the smell of pigs in the pigsty of a pig-raising family in the village, but it's very faint. If my sister and I weren't here, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to smell it."

Li Qiao is the eldest daughter. Although she and Li Qi are known as the "Li's Twin Heroes" in the world, they have never been to a place that is too dirty.

Li Qi has been to all places in his past lives and has some impression of this smell.

"Why is there a pig smell here?"

Jiang Ming was very confused.

Although pork is not a rare meat in this era, it is generally only found in rural areas or in the homes of butchers in the city.

Linbian City is not a big city. The meat supply in the city is generally from external transactions or from surrounding livestock farms.

There is basically no pig smell in the city. The meat in the few butchers' homes is also processed and does not have a strong smell.

So it is quite strange that there is a pig smell here.

Li Qi's nose tip moved slightly, looking for the source of the smell.

He and Li Qiao walked deep into the Feisha Gang, and finally stopped in front of the meeting hall that was bombed into ruins.

"The smell disappeared here."

Li Qi looked at the ruins in front of him and whispered.

The strong smell of pigs was covered by the smell of remaining wood chips here, and it was almost impossible to find the source.

Li Qi looked up and down, and after making sure that there were no other clues, he turned to Jiang Ming and asked:

"Captain Jiang, did the constables on duty last night hear any movement?"

"Their answer is indeed so. If you have any doubts, I will call them over now."

"Please trouble Captain Jiang."

Li Qi nodded to Jiang Ming.

He was very curious about this matter now. Judging from the remaining smell, there must have been a person with pig smell on his body last night.

And because there was a bat demon in front, the first thing Li Qi thought of was that a pig demon broke in last night and swept away all the corpses in the Feisha Gang's base!

If Li Qi's guess is correct, it means there is another monster hidden in the city.

This is a living 'demon' with considerable research value, and Li Qi will never let it go!

Seeing that Li Qi wanted to question the personnel on duty, Jiang Ming immediately sent someone to call the two head catchers on duty.

Li Qiao looked solemn and said to Li Qi:

"Archie, we shouldn't continue to get involved in this matter."

"I know, I was just asking."

"After asking, no matter what the result is, we must leave immediately!"

Li Qiao said seriously.

She didn't know what was happening in the city, and she didn't care if there were any monsters. She only cared about the safety of Li Qi and Bai Yuzhu.

Seeing that something big is about to happen in this city, there is no need for them to stay here if they have nothing to do with it.

Leaving early can save you a lot of trouble.

"I know, sister."

With a slight nod, Li Qi superficially agreed.

But in my heart, I was thinking about how to convince Li Qiao and the others to go back first.

Although Li Qi's suggestion magic can be used in this world in the form of 'talismans', it is not very useful to warriors.

When warriors reach the Xiantian realm, their own spiritual power will also increase simultaneously, and suggestion techniques will have little effect on them.

So if you want to persuade them to go back, you have to rely on Li Qi's eloquence.

While Li Qi was thinking, he heard Jiang Ming suddenly shout:

"What?! He's dead!!!? It's only been so long, why is he dead!?"

"?"

Hearing Jiang Ming's cry, Li Qi frowned again, approached Jiang Ming and asked:

"What happened? Who died?"

"The two detectives on duty yesterday were found dead on their way back to the county office just now... This..."

Jiang Ming looked solemn.

The agent on duty yesterday was just an ordinary agent from the county government. Although he had some martial arts skills, he was not of the upper class, not even the ninth grade.

Because they were not the agents responsible for Liumen, Jiang Ming asked them to go back and rest after they helped.

Who would have thought that less than half an hour had passed before the two detectives died violently.

This thief started too quickly!

"Where are the bodies of the two detectives?"

Li Qi asked again.

Jiang Ming seemed to suddenly remember, and immediately asked his subordinates: "Yes, corpse, bring the corpse here!"

"The body..." The six-door subordinate detective hesitated for a moment and said to Jiang Ming: "...Boss, the body was taken away by people from the county government, saying that it was for examination..."

"How could you let them take the body away!?"

Jiang Ming was furious and asked his subordinates.

The subordinate said with a grimace: "The person in charge said that the order was given by the county magistrate himself, but there is nothing we can do."

The county magistrate of Linjiang City is an official of the seventh rank according to the rank classification of Daqi officials.

As for Jiang Ming's official position, although theoretically speaking, all Tongqiu are in the seventh grade, but the Tongqiu located in Zhoucheng and Kyoto cannot be generalized from the local Tongqiu.

Nominally speaking, Jiang Ming is indeed at the same level as the local county magistrate, but in fact, Jiang Ming is under the jurisdiction of the local county magistrate and cannot interfere in what the county magistrate wants to do.

After all, Liumen is mainly responsible for Jianghu people, and the county magistrate is still responsible for ordinary affairs in the city.

Therefore, when his subordinates faced orders from the county magistrate, he could only choose to obey them.

Not to mention him, even Jiang Ming couldn't force the body to be left behind without a special formal reason.

The muscles on Jiang Ming's face were twitching, and his expression was extremely ugly.

Li Qi sighed when he saw this and glanced at Jiang Ming:

"You're a head catcher... but you're really confused."

The body was lost under the supervision of the county government agents. Regardless of whether they did it or not, before the results of the matter are revealed, the agents must be detained first, and even if it is not possible, they must be monitored to a certain extent.

In the end, Jiang Ming did nothing. Instead, he asked the county magistrate to intervene.

When Li Qi said this, Jiang Ming's face turned red and blue.

Li Qi was right, he was indeed a confused head catcher, more precisely a salary bastard.

Originally, he chose to work as a copper catcher in a place like Laijiang City because there was no political influence here, the functions of the six gates were not very useful, and he could collect his salary leisurely every day.

But who would have thought that if nothing happened, then such a big thing would happen!

He has no experience in dealing with these things, but to be able to do it to this level, he already feels very good about himself!

It's good now, the bodies of the Feisha Gang members are gone, and the agent on duty is also dead.

Their bodies were also taken away by the county magistrate's people, and the letter he sent to Zhoucheng would take two days to arrive in Zhoucheng, even if he worked hard.

Including Zhoucheng's processing time and the time spent traveling back and forth, it will take at least five days for Zhoucheng's assistance to arrive at Linbian City!

Five days! !

The damn policeman’s body is rotten! How can we investigate this! ?

Jiang Ming's expression was gloomy and uncertain. Upon seeing this, Li Qiao stood directly in front of Li Qi and said to Jiang Ming:

"Okay, since we can't see the body, this matter has nothing to do with us. Mr. Jiang, we have other things to do, so I won't interrupt you and take my leave!"

After saying that, Li Qiao pulled Li Qi out.

During this period, Jiang Ming did not stop him, and Li Qi did not struggle. He allowed Li Qiao to drag him away, and Li's group left the Feisha Gang's station smoothly.

At this point, this matter has come to an end for the time being.

At least that's the case for Li Qiao.
