Scarlet Falls

"What are you talking about, Uncle Yuan, what is torture?"

Confirming that the information in Yuan Guaizi's mouth had been exhausted this time, the smile on Wei Wei's face suddenly became relaxed.

However, he still had no intention of letting go. Instead, he pondered for a moment and continued to smile: "However, I still have a question to ask. Three years ago, there was a family here in Scrap Iron City that worshiped the Demon of Life. , once abducted many children from the suburbs of Nancheng District to make sacrifices to please the devil, and then the commotion became quite big. How much do you know about this case? "

"A case of murder in the 15th block?"

Yuan Guaizi's expression was stunned for a moment, and he said blankly: "I really don't know this. I didn't do this business at that time..."

"Oh well!"

Wei Wei saw at a glance that he was not lying. He smiled and retracted the gun, then pulled the blanket on the sofa next to him.

First, he wiped the blood on his muzzle, and then wiped the cold sweat on Yuan Guaizi's head.

He smiled as if the inquiry and shooting just now were just an illusion, and the two of them had just had a very happy chat over tea and bragging. He said to Yuan Guaizi: "I will check the clues in this place first. If there is anything I don't understand later, I still want to ask Uncle Yuan for advice."

Yuan Guaizi gritted his teeth and remained silent.

Wei Wei asked for the address, straightened up with a smile, stuffed the bullet casing into his pocket, and then took out his wallet.

"I understand the rules."

He picked out a colorful ten-yuan note from it, stuffed it into Yuan Guaizi's hand, and said, "Reward."

Yuan Guaizi looked at this almost humiliating note, his chest heaving.

Seeing that Wei Wei actually turned around and seemed to be leaving, he suddenly said: "Wait a minute..."

"How are you sure we will have relevant clues here?"

"..."

"?"

Wei Wei turned to look at him curiously and said with a smile, "I'm not sure."

As he spoke, he looked sincerely, looked at Yuan Guaizi's wound that had stopped bleeding, and said, "I just don't care about killing you."

At this moment, the blood surged.

Yuan Guaizi saw that Wei Wei actually walked towards the metal gate, leaving his back completely to him.

The humiliation of being played, the anger of being slighted, and some kind of fear of being targeted by demons all surged into my heart at the same time.

He stretched his arms, trembling, and took the metal crutch in his hand.

Then, he stared at Wei Wei's back, the muscles on his face twisting and undulating like earthworms.

In the factory, the workers who had been busy just now had all stood up.

They carried various knives and rusty iron hooks in their hands.

Some were carrying a chicken with its head chopped off and still struggling. Their eyes were indifferent and dull as they looked at Wei Wei who came out of the metal gate. Some even had blood-red eyes and had already lifted the chicken in their hands. A chainsaw with ferocious gears.

Behind them, Ye Feifei also looked pale...

At the same time, he stepped on a fierce man under his feet, pulled his arm hard, and pointed the gun around him vigilantly.

Yuan Guaizi's office has good sound insulation.

But Wei Wei's undisguised gunshot was still enough for them to hear.

Wei Wei walked out as if there was no one around, with a smile on his face, nodding and smiling at the workers in the factory.

By the time Wei Wei was about to collide with the first person who blocked him, the air in the factory had become extremely solid.

Ye Feifei's face turned pale from nervousness, and the knuckles holding the gun were slightly stiff.

But at this moment, Yuan Guaizi's weak voice sounded from behind the metal door:

"Let them go."

"..."

The workers blocking Wei Wei looked at each other, then silently stepped aside one shoulder.

Wei Wei passed by the worker, smiled, looked back at the office, and said, "Uncle Yuan, goodbye."

…

…

"terrible."

It wasn't until he got into Wei Wei's jeep and was far away from the factory area that Ye Feifei finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Those people, those people seem to really dare to kill people. I...I'm going to report them to the security hall. They … They’re horrible.”

"What?"

Wei Wei looked surprised and turned to Ye Feifei: "Why did you report him?"

Ye Feifei looked at Wei Wei's surprised expression and blinked, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

“Snakes have their own ways, rats have their own ways.”

"The market left behind by the Church of the Twelve Gods is too big. Excluding those recruited by the Foundation and the wandering religious groups who fled the wilderness to continue preaching, the remaining clergy and believers are still a huge number. They are scattered. , Just stay in this city and don't cause trouble. It's unrealistic to ask them to be completely like ordinary people. It is inevitable to create such a chaotic situation."

"Actually, I can understand Captain Ouyang's approach. They are the ones who have been working hard to fight against the mainstream of chaos and demons in the past few decades. If they want to ensure the stability of Scrap Iron City, they must work with such people to some extent. People compromise and even cooperate.”

"..."

"you……"

Ye Feifei looked at Wei Wei with some confusion: "Did you ask what you wanted to ask?"

"Yes."

Wei Weidao: "Uncle Yuan is a very good person. He told me all the clues he knew when I asked."

"Ah this..."

Ye Feifei couldn't help but think of the dull expressions of the workers in the factory and Yuan Guaizi's sinister face.

There are some signs of collapse in all three outlooks.

Did I really blame people wrongly just now, and they are actually evil-faced?

Thinking of just now, when the dull gunshot sounded suddenly inside, I became nervous, and even knocked down a person who tried to catch me, and almost broke his arm. I felt guilty and thought about whether to go back. Apologize...

While he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw Wei Wei turning the car around and driving towards the east of the city, and he suddenly became curious:

"Where are you going?"

"..."

"Chengdong Farm Area."

Wei Wei smiled and replied: "Uncle Yuan just gave us a very important clue."

As he spoke, he recounted everything about the "Black Goat Family" and the body theft case that Yuan Guaizi just mentioned.

"I know about the corpse robbery case..."

After hearing this, Ye Feifei hurriedly said: "I saw it in the newspaper. Everyone said that the girl was very pitiful. She died at the best age and could not rest in peace after death. Her parents were also in pain. They said their wishes in the newspaper We offered a high price to redeem our daughter’s body, but I didn’t know that we were also involved in the investigation of this matter, but...does this have anything to do with the person we are looking for?”

"I don't know either."

Wei Wei shook his head and said: "However, our industry is different from other industries. People infected by demons have twisted desires and thoughts that are difficult for ordinary people to fathom. All we can do is not let go of any clues." , get to the bottom of it.”

"Taking a step back, Scrap Iron City is not big in the first place, so the connection between the three religions and nine streams must be deeper."

"If the mine worker is also related to the Death Demon, then finding this group of worshipers may lead to new clues."

"..."

"Well."

After hearing Wei Wei's words, Ye Feifei was immediately excited and fastened his seat belt immediately.

She sat obediently in the passenger seat, even looking a little reserved, as if she was afraid that she would be kicked out of the car if she didn't perform well.

Wei Wei looked at her with a smile.

While starting the car, he gave her the phone she had thrown on the dashboard and said:

"Tell the captain and the others."

"But just say the address, and then turn off the phone."

"..."

"Why?"

Ye Feifei obviously understood everyone, but he didn't understand it at all.

"Individual heroism is unacceptable."

Wei Wei smiled and said: "We just got a key clue, of course we have to inform the captain and them."

"Then why shut down?"

"What if they don't let us go if we don't turn off the phone?"

"..."

Ye Feifei still felt that she didn't understand, but she once again showed an advantage that Wei Wei admired.

I sent the message immediately and then turned off the phone.

…

…

"gone."

Wei Wei smiled with satisfaction, turned off his phone, then stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the west of the city.

Scrap Iron City is not big in size, and the roads are dilapidated, but there are not many vehicles. In addition, Wei Wei’s driving style is barely enough to get into the air when he sees it, and to overtake the car when he sees it, although he has not yet reached the level of "seeing the light". The highest level of "just break through", but the speed is not too slow.

It only took less than twenty minutes to reach the area on the eastern edge of the city.

Looking forward, a large farm and a huge windmill on the plain appeared in the field of vision.

Like rows of giants, waving broad swords in their hands.

Wei Wei slowed down his speed, searched slowly among the surrounding large farms, and found his target.

It looked like a medium-sized compound farm, with a rusty iron plate with the words "Sunshine Farm" hanging on the gate.

It was noon, but the sky was already cloudy.

The cold wind blew from far away from the sky, as if mixed with some kind of shrill roar.

Inside the farm, you can see large areas of farmland filled with dark green seedlings.

Each piece seems to have a forbearing vitality.

Going further inside, you can see rows of greenhouses covered with plastic sheets. The white plastic sheets above are covered with white mist. A few cows were tied up in an open space in the middle. A few dirty wild dogs were eating something in the greenhouse.

Wei Wei rolled down the car window, took a deep breath, and slowly swept his eyes over the farm.

Then, he came back with a smile on his face and extended his palm to Ye Feifei.

"Come on, give me a high five."

"..."

"ah?"

Ye Feifei raised his palm blankly: "What's wrong?"

Wei Wei raised his hand to hit her and said with a smile: "You must have very good luck, so I also got good luck with you."

"Look, we don't have much time now, we have already found a place."

"..."

"ah?"

Ye Feifei opened his mouth in surprise: "Me? Good luck?"

She felt a sense of surprise that she was not confident about, and subconsciously she was about to stick her head out to take a look, but was pulled back by Wei Wei.

"Don't alert the enemy."

Wei Wei warned: "I don't know how many things that were close to success fell short because of carelessness at the end."

Ye Feifei suddenly looked nervous: "That's right, what should we do?"

Wei Wei looked through the car window and glanced inside, then took out his gun and whispered:

"Let's go right in!"
