Chapter 180 179 The ghost ship, all members died suddenly

Two or three days have passed since the death of Li Jianan and his son.

Almost all of the government's criminal department, military ginseng department, and supervisory department department were mobilized, just one word up and down.

--check!

But after two days and two nights of busy work, except for the "burn"-like damage on the wounds on both of their bodies, no other clues were found.

And based on the familiar "burn"-like damage, the supervisor judged that the two should have died from some kind of magical power or magic weapon with "sharp" and "scorching" attributes.

Knowing this, Yang Lei immediately slapped the table!

Damn!

Is this different from the person who was killed by the "judge" earlier?
The murderer... or the "judge"?
Come to a conclusion.

But the Third Division of the government, who had thought that the murderer was confirmed enough to close the case, was dumbfounded again at this moment.

Not for anything else.

It's just because the judge has long been on the government's arrest warrant, and he hasn't been caught all this time.

They had no idea who the other was!
Therefore, the case of Li Jianan and his son had to be temporarily shelved.

Only a bloody charge was added to the judge's arrest warrant.

——Murder the official of the imperial court, and serve as a soldier.

But this matter may be a big deal for others, but it is not so great for that "judge".

Because he has too many crimes.

No worries if there are too many lice.

On the contrary, many people in Jinling, after seeing this matter from the arrest warrant, they are called praises.

——Simple common people don't care what kind of court order you are, and the soldiers participate in the order.

They can only vote with their feet. Li Jianan and his son are usually domineering, which naturally arouses complaints. Now that someone killed them, in the eyes of the common people, they are killing harm for the people!
This incident not only did not make the reputation of the underworld judge worse, but it even set off an upsurge in the bottom of Jinling.

All kinds of operas with judges and actors, gadgets with glaring faces, emerge in endlessly.

In the evening of that day, Yu Chen returned to Wanjialing despite the wind and snow after listening to a judge's play from Jinling City.

Sit down cross-legged and breathe out.

After breaking through the spiritual form, forging the golden body, and having the top-grade Qi spiritual root again, he no longer needs to use the spiritual baht to practice breathing.

The efficiency of the gathering of the qi of the day and the earth is enough to support him all the way in the realm of spirituality.

Silent all night.

In the early morning of the next day, Yu Chen had just finished breathing, got up to heat the pot, boiled a bowl of porridge, added some minced meat and chopped green onion, after drinking it deliciously, he let out a long mouthful of hot air, and burped in comfort.

Just put the bowls and chopsticks, picked up the broom, ready to sweep the snow in front of the door.

But before dancing two broomsticks, a burst of noise came from the direction down the mountain.

Yu Chen put down the broom.

Got it!
The brothers are here again.

Not long after, several corpse collectors who were already quite familiar came up the mountain whining and noisy.

Each of them had hemp ropes tied to their backs, dragging a huge cart, and was exerting all their strength.

When I got to Wanjialing, I left it there and started digging.

Yu Chen brought out several bowls of hot soup from the house, and after drinking it for several collectors, he pointed to the cart and asked what was going on.

Several corpse collectors thanked him while talking to him.

——This matter is very strange!
In fact, they didn't need to say it, Yu Chen also knew about it.

Through his own eyes, through the body of the dilapidated truck, what he saw was mummified corpses inside.

It was as if all the flesh and blood had been sucked out of his whole body, leaving only skin and bones, in a miserable state of death.

And their bodies, hair, and clothes were covered with icicles, as if they had been fished out of the water before.

Anyway, to put it bluntly, it doesn't look like a normal death.

The leading corpse collector put down his hoe and shovel, rubbed his waist, and pulled away the white cloth on the cart, revealing a corpse that was too old to look human, with an ugly face, and said: "Look at Brother Grave, it was passed on not long ago. You know the ghost ship that is making a lot of noise, right?"

Immediately afterwards, he told all the things he had heard.

Besides, the dozens of mummified corpses inside the cart were originally crew members of a fishing boat "Xingsheng" of the Fuding Chamber of Commerce.

——Although Jinling is located in the northern border of Daxia, it is quite far away from the prosperous capital.

But as the saying goes, relying on mountains to eat mountains, and relying on water to eat water, although Jinling is not as prosperous as the capital city, it is located in one of the nine veins, where the Cang River flows into the sea, and the fishery industry is almost the most developed in the entire Great Xia.

One of the five cities, Baishi City, is in the south of Jinling, and four or five huge ports have been built, where countless fishing boats and merchant ships dock to rest every day.

Several large chambers of commerce in Jinling jointly controlled the fat meat of the fishery industry, and they all clung to it—they all had their own fishing boats, and they worked every day, catching fish from the sea and selling them to overseas markets. All over the summer.

This Xingsheng fishing boat belongs to the Fuding Chamber of Commerce and is one of hundreds of fishing boats under its banner.

Let's say that five nights ago, Lin Qi, the captain of the Xingsheng, led a team to go fishing for ten days.

The fishing and hunting area off the coast of Jinling, and the port of Baishi City radiating out for five hundred miles are bounded by the safe area opened by the Jinling government.

There are no hidden reefs, no underwater monsters, the only thing to pay attention to may be the big waves that may blow up due to the snowstorm at any time.

All in all, being a fisherman in Jinling is not a dangerous business.

The Fuding Chamber of Commerce also waited, and after ten days of waiting for the Xingsheng, it returned with a full load.

But it hasn't been ten days yet, last night, the night watchman of the lighthouse saw that the Xingsheng had returned!
Just when I was about to notify the port, I suddenly realized that something was wrong with the Xingsheng?

—It doesn't look like it came back by itself, but was brought back by the waves.

At that time, the night watchman was muttering that the crew of the Xingsheng were really crazy, and they were not afraid that the waves would take them to the Cangjiang River.

Before he finished muttering, the Xingsheng slammed into the rudder of the port in a daze. With a bang, the port shook, waking up the entire port.

Everyone was anxious and angry, and they came over one after another, rolled up their sleeves, and wanted to show the crew of the Xingsheng why the flowers were so red.

But when the Xingsheng hit the shore, they ran over angrily and looked at the ship.

Immediately, it was like pouring a pot of cold water to cool my heart!
Scared into a grandson!
The Xingsheng is indeed still the Xingsheng. Except for the damage caused by hitting the shore, the ship can be said to be intact all day long.

But the people inside have long since died!

In every corner of the fishing boat, corpses were lying here and there, as if they had decayed for dozens or hundreds of years.

And judging from their clothes and fish tags, they are the crew members of Xingsheng who went to sea five days ago!

But only five days!
These guys seem to have spent decades, living and dying of old age!
Where have you seen this battle?
Immediately reported to the officer.

As soon as the government came, they examined the body and dug out the sailing notes on the ship, which recorded some of the things they encountered.

Nine times out of ten, they are trivial matters.

But there is only one item, which refers to the "ghost ship" that was widely circulated in Jinling's fishing circles. It is said that it is a huge shadow that comes and goes without a trace. Every time it appears, it is far away in the thick fog, like a flash in the pan. , There have been several sightings and records.

But the previous few times were just witnesses.

Only this time, something unexpected happened.

All sixteen crew members of Xingsheng died suddenly!
Not one left!
In the end, the lifeless Xingsheng drifted with the surging tide and finally returned to Jinling port.

That's why this thing happened.

After the autopsy by the government, it is said that people were sent to the sea to investigate. As for the dry corpses, the movers carried them up and buried them.

"Look at Brother Tomb, do you think these things are scary?"

At the end, the leader of the corpse collector shook his head, "A living person! You've aged dozens of years in a few days—look at this hair, it shatters when you touch it!"

After all, they sighed, buried those corpses in Wanjialing, and went down the mountain.

And Yu Chen frowned, and brought the ghosts standing on the grave into the room guarding the mausoleum.

——To die without resting my eyes, an unfulfilled wish.

Sixteen dead crew members, a total of three ghosts, did not rest in peace and left their last wishes.

One old and two young, lingering on the bank of Huangquan River, unwilling to leave for a long time.

And their carousel also started running in front of Yu Chen.

The three ghosts, the older one named Wu Gang, the chief helmsman of the Xingsheng, has been sailing for more than 30 years and has never had any problems.

And the younger two ghosts, a strong man in his 30s, the captain of the Xingsheng, Lin Qi, has the final say on this ship.

A chunky young dunzi named Huang Feng was a fisherman on the boat and planned to marry his childhood sweetheart when he finished the trip and saved enough money.

On the day of sailing, everyone was very high-spirited, saying that this is the first shot of the new year, and it must be a boom!
In the first three days, there were no problems. The fish harvest was bumper, and everyone was smiling.

But on the fourth day, something went wrong.

The exclamation of a small crew member who had just boarded the ship woke up everyone who was sleeping.

Lin Qi took people out to have a look.

I saw endless fog filling the vast ocean, a fan-shaped shadow like a sail, passing by in the dense fog and disappearing without a trace.

Everyone was shocked!
Respond immediately!

——Ghost ship!
Lin Qi and Wu Gang had rich experience and knew that there were many unknown and terrifying things in this vast ocean, so they immediately prepared to return to the voyage.

But this boat was driving, and several crew members suddenly fell to the ground without warning.

The skin is shriveled, the hair is haggard and gray, the teeth are falling out, and the eyes are cloudy. It seems that a hundred years have passed in an instant, and he is dying of old age!

Then, it's everyone's turn.

My whole body was limp and weak, and I felt that my whole body's energy and blood were passing away at a rapid speed in an instant, and I fell down a large piece!

No sound!

The revolving door, stop here.

All images disappeared.

But Yu Chen frowned tightly.

Let's talk about the beginning, even though the body collector said it was mysterious, what was deprived of life and life in an instant, a few days passed as decades and so on.

But he didn't believe that there was such a bizarre thing.

It is guessed that it should be the work of some monsters and foreign objects that absorb life force.

As long as you watch the revolving lantern of these three ghosts, you will understand everything naturally.

But at this moment, he saw it clearly.

Except for the legendary ghost ship that flashed past, there were no ghosts!
——The sixteen living people of the Xingsheng were old and dead in an instant.
