Siheyuan: Hang Jia Dongxu, smash Banggeng to death!

Chapter 25 Special Task Force Qin Ming

As Yan Bugui watched Jia Zhangshi being carried away, the grief of losing his son was suddenly replaced by fear.

My son is already dead; there's no use in being heartbroken.

Next, they might all die.

Third Master made it very clear: a terrible omen is coming, and no one in the courtyard will escape.

He lowered his voice and whispered in Yang Ruihua's ear, who was still immersed in the grief of losing her son:

"Ruihua, don't cry. Jiecheng is already dead. There's no use being sad now. As for whether we'll even survive, that's still an unknown."

Upon hearing this, Yang Ruihua stopped crying abruptly.

She looked up at her husband in terror: "Honey... what are we going to do... you have to save this family..."

She was also afraid of dying.

"I will."

Yan Bugui's eyes flickered. "Go and comfort Yu Li first. You two should stay together and look after each other. Don't get separated."

Then go to the school and tell Jiefang, Jiekuang, and Jiedi not to come back yet, and not to leave Beijing for the time being.

Third Master said that going out might lead to an even faster death.

First, go to the neighborhood office to get a letter of introduction, then stay in a hotel for three days... After three days, everything should be fine.

He paused, then lowered his voice even further: "Remember, whatever you do, don't go back to the courtyard house, understand?"

"But...but," Yang Ruihua looked at her husband with concern, "what about you, sir?"

Yan Bugui shook his head, his expression grave: "I need to stay here and work with everyone to find a way to suppress the great evil, otherwise... we'll all probably die."

He patted his wife on the shoulder: "Go quickly, take food and money, and leave now."

"Oh...okay..." Yang Ruihua wiped away her tears. Although reluctant, she turned around and went into the house to pack her things.

After his wife left, Yan Bugui looked around, then leaned close to Yi Zhonghai's ear and whispered in a barely audible voice:

"Old Yi, what should we do? Those three things Third Master mentioned... Blood from a close relative is hard to come by, and Lin Tangtang is right there beside Lin Tian..."

Yi Zhonghai gave a cold laugh, his eyes sinister: "Who said we were going to mess with Lin Tangtang?"

Yan Bugui was taken aback: "If we don't get involved with Lin Tangtang, where will we get the blood of a close relative? Lin's parents are both dead..."

"Have you forgotten?" Yi Zhonghai said slowly, "how did Lin's father die?"

Yan Bugui's pupils contracted, and he instantly understood.

Lin's father was scalded and crushed to death while overturning a boiler at the steel rolling mill; his death was extremely gruesome.

When he was taken to the crematorium, his work clothes were soaked with blood and charred flesh...

"That piece of clothing..." Yan Bugui murmured, "That piece of clothing is covered in blood... It should be okay if it dries?"

"Of course." Yi Zhonghai nodded. "Blood is blood, and dry blood is blood too."

Yan Bugui's eyes lit up, but he immediately frowned: "But...where is that dress now?"

He remembered clearly that when he took Lin's father to the crematorium, he noticed that the work clothes were made of good material.

Although it's stained with blood, it should still be wearable after washing.

We're poor, so every little bit we can save is a bonus.

You won't get poor from eating or dressing; it's not that you'll get poor from not planning ahead.

So, taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, he secretly stripped Lin's father of his clothes and stuffed them into his bag.

On the way back to the courtyard house, Lin's mother discovered them.

The woman pounced on him like a madwoman, snatched the clothes back from his bag, hugged them tightly to her chest, and cried her heart out.

Yan Bugui was embarrassed and shoved her in a fit of anger.

Lin's mother fell and hit her head on the ground, and afterwards fell seriously ill...

In the end, Lin's mother took that dress home.

"The clothes are definitely at the Lin family's house," Yi Zhonghai said confidently. "Before she died, she kept clutching that piece of clothing."

Yan Bugui nodded, but then another question popped into his head: "Then... what about the candidate for the human sacrifice?"

Yi Zhonghai didn't speak, but slowly turned his head and looked in the direction of the Jia family.

Yan Bugui followed his gaze and immediately understood.

Jia Zhangshi.

The son died, the grandson died, and the Jia family line ended.

Her resentment and hatred towards Lin Tian have probably reached their peak.

Such a person is perfectly suited to be a human sacrifice.

Moreover... Jia Zhangshi is currently hospitalized with serious injuries and is delirious, making it the perfect time to strike.

Even if she died, it could be said that she succumbed to her injuries.

"I understand..." Yan Bugui said in a low voice, "But... how do we do it? She's in the hospital now, and the police are watching her..."

"There's always a way." Yi Zhonghai's eyes were icy. "Let's wait until we have the other two things to suppress the great evil ready."

Just then, Director Li returned from outside the compound.

His expression was grave, clearly indicating that he had just finished reporting the situation to his superiors.

Seeing that everyone was still gathered in the courtyard, Director Li cleared his throat: "Everyone's here, I'll just say a few words."

Everyone immediately fell silent, watching him nervously.

"Don't be afraid, everyone."

Chief Li tried to sound calm, "In a little while, the task force will send one or two officers to each household to protect everyone's safety."

Until the case is fully investigated, we hope everyone will cooperate and refrain from leaving the courtyard without permission.

He paused, then added, "The city bureau's special task force is on its way regarding the investigation. Everyone be careful, and report any unusual situations to the police immediately."

After saying that, Director Li turned and left in a hurry.

He didn't want to stay in this courtyard house for even a second longer.

Too many people died, and the ways they died were all more bizarre than the last.

The stick flew out right in front of him and smashed him to death...

He believed it when they said it was a haunted house.

As soon as Director Li stepped out of the courtyard gate, he saw several police bicycles rushing towards him.

The lead vehicle was a black sedan. After the car came to a stop, a middle-aged man in his forties got out.

It was Qin Ming, the captain of the criminal investigation team.

"Chief Li," Qin Ming strode over, "I have a general understanding of the situation. How is the scene secured?"

"They're all secured," Director Li said hurriedly. "Captain Qin, this case... it's too bizarre."

Qin Ming frowned: "Let's not talk about that now, take me to see the scene."

The two entered the courtyard house.

Director Li didn't want to go in, but he had no choice.

Inside the courtyard, the crowd felt a little more at ease when they saw another group of police officers arrive, but their fear did not disappear.

They knew that the police could protect them for a while, but not forever.

That "thing"...cannot be seen, cannot be touched, and can take a person's life at any time.

A ghostly figure in the darkness watched all this through the window crack, a cold smile curving its lips.

Special task force?

good very good.

He wanted to see what tricks these people could pull.

Tangtang rubbed her eyes and looked at him: "Brother...it's so noisy outside..."

inside the house.

"It's okay," Lin Tian patted her head. "Tangtang, be good, your brother is here."

"Mmm..." Tangtang nodded obediently, squinting her eyes as she lay in Guoguo's arms.

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations, host, for helping Qin Huairu become the head of the family. Mission complete. You have received 1000 Black Tens, one Three Turns and One Sound ticket, and several meat tickets, industrial tickets, cloth tickets, sugar tickets, and wine tickets.]

[Host, please stop killing innocent people. You are here to heal them, fulfill their wishes, and reform them.]

"I understand, I understand. Just say that Jia Dongxu is dead, Jia Zhangshi is crippled, and Qin Huairu is no longer the head of the family?"

Lin Tian spoke impatiently, yet with an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

But host...

"Just tell me, did I complete the mission or not?"

system:【……】

"By the way, System, what about the reward for the 'stick thief' quest?"

[Host, you've ruined the juicy skewer, and you still have the nerve to ask for a reward? I haven't even started the punishment yet.]

Lin Tian was immediately displeased.

"System, that's not right of you. The mission for Bang Geng is to eat meat every day, right?"

That's right!

"Are those big-stemmed melons guaranteed to be ripe?"
