"Hey, Mr. Zhang, don't worry. The shipping company has my friends. I will send someone to get the tickets tomorrow morning." Smith is the owner of this hotel. Last night, he received this group of somewhat mysterious people. The Chinese, based on his decades of experience in China, he understands that this is a bunch of idiots who have money to slaughter.Therefore, the relationship between the two parties developed very rapidly.In fact, from last night to tonight, in just 24 hours, he has earned more than 300 pounds from these old hats, which is equivalent to the profit of his small hotel for a week!

At this moment, a few people suddenly floated silently from the open-air balcony. These people were holding daggers, wearing black clothes, black pants, and black scarves, but they moved like the wind. Before most people could react, they would either Killed by a dagger, or stunned by a palm!Didn't even have time to snort, let alone call the police.

"Search, make up the knife!" The leader of the man in black swept his eyes and walked towards the main target.The main target is naturally Zhang Liansan.

"Destroy traces!" Finally, the leader in black looked at the 11 people who came out from all over, and ordered.

I saw two of them bring out two iron buckets from the bushes, starting from the open-air balcony, going to every room upstairs, and then downstairs, pouring a transparent liquid all the way.

"Go home, you go first!" The leader of the night man finally ordered.

"Yes." Among the group of people, a person made a gesture, and they followed the shadow of the bushes and quickly disappeared into the distance.

"Pfft——" the man in black at the head struck a match, and then lightly threw it into the flowing liquid not far away, "Boom—" the match fell to the ground, and a large group of raging flames burst out immediately.

It turned out that the liquid that fell on the ground turned out to be gasoline!

Just when the flames suddenly rose into the sky, the man in black had already stepped aside like lightning, and then he disappeared into the depths of the night at an unimaginable speed.

"It's on fire—" In less than half a minute, a miserable cry finally came out in the night sky of Gulangyu Island.

Five minutes later, the fire brigade finally arrived late. However, the facilities and technology of the fire brigade in this era are very backward in all aspects. Seeing the hotel rapidly collapsed in the raging flames, they were helpless.

"Superintendent, there is a smell of gasoline." A fire police officer shrugged his nose and said.

"I have a nose," said the Superintendent grimly.The gasoline smell in this flame is so strong that even a pig can smell the choking smell.

"Hey, Superintendent, what should we do?" The fireman pointed to the collapsing hotel and said.

"This kind of wooden structure hotel does not meet the fire protection requirements. We failed to rescue, and no one can say anything." The superintendent is not worried about the consequences.

"Superintendent, it smells like a burnt corpse." The policeman's nose is really good, and he was the first to smell the difference.

"Everyone stand far away. Go and call the Ministry of Industry Bureau alone and report the situation here." At this time, the fire police cannot withdraw. After the fire is extinguished, they have to go deep into the scene to investigate.

The fire broke out at 1 o'clock in the middle of the night, and at 3 o'clock in the middle of the night, this small hotel called "House of England" was finally reduced to ashes.At 5 o'clock in the morning, under the command of the police department of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, the fire police and security police began to carefully investigate the situation in the hotel. At 9 o'clock in the morning, all investigations were completed, including: 27 charred bodies, 754 There are deformed silver dollars, some iron products, porcelain, kitchen utensils, etc. In addition, there are 12 burnt Mauser pistols. In addition, there are no other suspicious items.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, the forensic doctor completed the examination of the 27 corpses and preliminarily concluded that among the 27 corpses, 15 were oriental, especially Chinese, of which 12 were western, and among the oriental corpses, 2 A female corpse.These bodies did not die from fire, but from murder!Fire is a typical man-made arson, intended to destroy corpses and wipe out traces.

"Check it out! Check it out for me! You must find out what's going on!" George Link, director of the Ministry of Industry and Security, pointed at the police department and became furious.

"Yes. Mr. George, I think this is most likely a Chinese vendetta! Because our people have made a preliminary investigation, Mr. Smith received 12 Chinese who were said to be mysterious the night before, and died Among the orientals, it is basically consistent with this number!"

"Well, you go. Do your best to collect strong evidence, and I'm going to go to the Chinese to explain it!" George Link immediately understood the meaning of the Chief of Police's words, and he had no choice but to blame all of this on the Chinese. Only by themselves can they bear less responsibility, and the Ministry of Industry and Bureau can also get out of it, otherwise, just the saliva of the residents who settled in Gulangyu from various countries can drown themselves.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the chief of police came to the door again and submitted a formal investigation report:

Among the 27 dead, 15 were Chinese, of which 2 female corpses were employees of the "House of England" and 1 male corpse was a restaurant chef; among the 12 Westerners, 1 Smith was a British nationality, and the rest Eleven of them are French, Americans, British, etc. who are permanently stationed in the "House of England". They are all employees of various companies on Gulangyu Island, and one of them is also an employee of the Ministry of Industry.

Cause of death: Among them, 19 people were stabbed to death by sharp objects, and 8 people were killed by cutting off their necks. Judging from the scars on the necks, it is estimated that they were injured by blunt objects.Judging from the casualties, especially the weapons on the dead, it is estimated that there should be more than five murderers.

Cause of fire: Intentional arson for the murderer.The murderer dumped a large amount of gasoline before setting the fire, causing serious damage to the scene!

Conclusion: The murderer killed first, then set fire to destroy the corpse and wiped out all traces. The method was extremely cruel and inhumane.

"Is there any clue?" George Link understood, this is a fucking case without a head, troublesome bird.

"We checked the list of boarding and lodging personnel in various hotels in the past three days, and found no suspicious persons related to this case; at the same time, the police department also sent officers to question the personnel on duty at the ferry terminal yesterday. They said that the person who went to the island yesterday There are very few Chinese, and there is no situation where more than five young and strong male citizens of Oriental nationality appear at the same time. There are a few cases of five or more, we have found out that most of them are dragging their families, and Both the owner and the clerk staying at the hotel testified that they did not walk out of the hotel gate last night."

"So, there is really no clue? For example, the identity of the Chinese with the gun?" George Link asked.

"Mr. George, it will take time!" The police commissioner also understood at this time that the 12 Chinese who came to the "House of England" together were the main point of the case.

Apparently, the murderer was targeting them, guessed the Commissioner of Police.

The Chief of Police’s guess was very correct. An employee of the shipping company came to the police station in the afternoon and said that Mr. Smith had someone greet him yesterday evening, saying that he would leave 12 second-class tickets to Hong Kong for him. Thinking of hearing that his hotel was on fire this morning and people died, he came to the police station to report the situation.

At ten o'clock in the evening, a Frenchman came to the police station to report the case. He said that the situation was rather special.He said that when he was shopping in the market yesterday afternoon, Smith greeted him happily. He asked Smith what kind of happy event he had, and Smith told him quietly that a herd of fat sheep came to the hotel, and he wanted to make a fortune.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, George Link, who was annoyed by various reporters, had to hold a press conference to announce the so-called "British House Murder Inside Story" to the outside world:

"The England House murder was an accident, and it does not represent the deterioration of the public security situation in the Gulangyu International Settlement." George first set the tone for this "blood case", and then said, "As for the specific case, Jack of the Police Department The director is in charge of the investigation, and it is said that he already has a lot of strong evidence. Now, we have invited Director Jack—" George's hand was very beautiful, and he successfully diverted the reporter's attention.

"Jack, Jack..." Seeing that the main character was not on stage, some reporters began to boo.

"Ladies and gentlemen, hey, I just got some new evidence, and I'm here to tell you the insider truth of the England House murder..." As he said, Jack raised a bag wrapped in something on his hand , "Ladies and gentlemen, guess what is in this bag?"

"Ah..." Some women didn't expect Director Jack to play such a trick.

"Gold!" A male reporter had a very rich imagination.

"Antique!" Someone started, and then someone naturally guessed along a good line of thought.

"Crown!" A female reporter had a whim.

"The bones of the dead!" Some reporters said the opposite.

"The murder weapon!" Someone finally thought that this was a case, and the murder weapon was the most important evidence.

"Okay... In the end, this gentleman's guess was very correct. This is a murder weapon, because he is a Mauser pistol. However, he is not the murder weapon in this case, because the deceased in this case was killed by sharp and blunt weapons. Killed, but the case has a great deal to do with this Mauser. So, let me tell you a story, and you will soon find out the truth of the case."

"Somewhere in the deep mountains and old forests in mainland China, there is a group of thieves flying into the sky. They are highly skilled, outstanding in martial arts, and carry modern firearms. There are a total of 12 brothers in their hands. Over the years, they have traveled north and south, robbing wealthy households, killing business travelers , accumulated a considerable fortune.

One day, the boss said, brothers, the money we have accumulated is enough for us to consume for the rest of our lives. Moreover, I recently heard that a certain official has secretly issued a reward order, offering a reward of 10 oceans for the lives of my brothers. , so let's call it quits.We went to Hong Kong, and then went to France to live in seclusion, to be a rich man, how pleasant it is!

Some brothers disagreed, but the boss said, then, go and kill that official. If you kill that official, the reward order will naturally be invalidated, and we will be safe.When the brother saw the attitude of the boss, he immediately said, "Boss, I'll just listen to you. We are kings in the mountains and forests, but as soon as we get to the official city, we are nothing more than a dog and a cat. Have you ever seen?" Can a dog and a cat kill an elephant?That official is an elephant.

(The king is moved...)
