Siheyuan: Hang Jia Dongxu, smash Banggeng to death!

"Lin Tian, ​​stop now, there are police everywhere outside."

"Stop?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Tian scoffed, "Try shouting and see if the police outside will answer you."

The deaf old lady frowned.

I didn't understand what that sentence meant.

There were more than 30 police officers from the special task force outside, guards at the gate of the compound, and public security officers everywhere inside and outside the compound.

She only needs to shout once, and within three seconds someone will rush in.

Is this kid stupid or just incredibly arrogant?

The deaf old woman took a deep breath, glared at Lin Tian with hostility, and shouted at the top of her lungs.

"Help! Officer! Help! Murder!"

however……

quiet!

Three seconds!

Ten seconds!

One minute!

Two and a half minutes!

no respond.

"Help! Help! Someone's killing someone! Come quick!"

The deaf old woman called out again, her voice rising even higher, and the veins on her neck bulged.

There was still no movement in the courtyard.

There were no footsteps, no questions, and no one broke down the door.

You can even see the back of a policeman outside the window, leaning against a pillar smoking without moving an inch.

"Help... Someone help... Help me..."

The deaf old woman began to shout incessantly, one shout after another, her voice changing from loud to hoarse, and from hoarse to cracked.

The sound grew fainter and fainter, more and more fragmented, until it finally became a breathy sound.

Lin Tian leaned against the wall the whole time, arms crossed, watching a boring show.

He only spoke when the deaf old woman finally stopped, clutching her throat and gasping for breath.

"Go ahead and shout, why have you stopped?"

The deaf old woman opened her mouth, but her throat felt like it was blocked by something, and it burned with pain.

She was silent.

She doesn't understand.

She shouted so loudly that the whole courtyard should have heard her.

The police officers were right outside, separated only by a door and a window; there was no way they couldn't hear them.

Why pretend to be deaf and dumb?

Is it really that dark?

Lin Tian joked, "You fall silent again when you encounter a difficult question. Honestly."

"Old lady, how do you want to die?"

The deaf old woman's throat bobbed twice with difficulty, squeezing out a few broken syllables: "Lin Tian... I don't have many years left to live... Can you please let me go...?"

"cannot."

The deaf old woman let out a long sigh: "Then I want to die with some dignity."

Lin Tian smiled.

The people in this courtyard are all very concerned about their image; even when they're about to die, they're still thinking about maintaining their dignity.

"OK."

Before the deaf old lady could even catch her breath, Lin Tian had already grabbed her by the back of her collar.

The surrounding air seemed to freeze, and my vision blurred.

When my feet touched solid ground again, a stench hit me.

The deaf old woman opened her eyes. Above her was a wooden ceiling, and all around were mud walls, the plaster of which was peeling off in large patches due to dampness.

This is where?

Underfoot was a platform made of two wooden planks, and through the gaps between the planks, one could see the churning sewage below.

Maggots, white and fluffy, wriggled on the surface of the excrement. Several of them crawled onto the wooden board and were inching forward near her shoes.

Several greenbottle flies buzzed around, bumping into her face and her ears.

This is the public toilet outside the courtyard house.

Am I not inside the house?

How did I end up in a public restroom the moment I opened my eyes?

The deaf old woman, who had lived for eighty-two years, revealed her true fear for the first time.

It's not the fear of death.

It is not fear of the unknown.

Why did Lin Tian bring me here? No way, no way...

It can't be what I'm thinking, can it?

The deaf old woman was terrified.

It's the fear of this way of dying.

"Lin Tian...you said you'd let me die with dignity..."

"I've been thinking about it. You're an old man, and I can't let you suffer before you die. If you're going to die, at least die well."

Lin Tian suddenly had an axe in his hand. He walked over to the deaf old woman and kicked her in the chest.

"Ahhh!! Help!!!"

The deaf old woman fell backward, her hands reaching out to grab something in the air but failing to grasp it, her body crashing into the sewage, splashing up a large spray of filthy water.

"I don't want to die! Help! Lin Tian, ​​please spare my life! Guh... I... save me! I don't want to die..."

The foul-smelling liquid poured into her mouth, nose, and ears.

The deaf old woman tried to shout, but as soon as she opened her mouth, fecal water poured into her throat.

Maggots crawled onto her face, into her hair, and into her collar.

The deaf old woman thrashed and struggled in the sewage, her hands flailing wildly, only managing to grab handfuls of sticky filth.

"Someone save me! Help! I don't want to die, sob... gurgle..."

Lin Tian's voice came from the entrance of the public restroom, "I forgot to tell you, I did it on purpose."

The deaf old woman: "...⌒꩜ᯅ꩜⌒"

"Hiccup~~"

The deaf old lady has eaten her fill.

Her struggles grew weaker and weaker, from thrashing to convulsions, and from convulsions to stillness.

Finally, he sank into the sewage.

Lin Tian shook his head expressionlessly. "That seems a bit too easy on her."

"What's that noise over there?"

Why did I hear someone shouting for help?

"Quick, someone must have fallen into the latrine."

Several voices came from the courtyard, heading towards the public toilet.

Xiao Wang was the first to rush into the public restroom, then staggered out, his face deathly pale.

With one hand supporting himself on the old locust tree at the entrance of the public toilet and the other hand on his knee, he bent over and dry heaved twice.

"Oh no! Someone's dead! Someone fell into the latrine!"

In less than two minutes, the public toilet was completely surrounded.

More than twenty police officers blocked both ends of the alley, set up a cordon, and nearby residents peeked out to take a look.

They were waved away by the police and sent back.

Qin Ming strode over from the direction of the courtyard house, buttoning his collar as he went, his face ashen.

Director Li jogged after him, his forehead covered in sweat; he didn't want to come over.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

Qin Ming pushed aside the police officers surrounding the entrance to the public restroom and stepped inside.

A stench hit me, so strong it could almost knock me over.

Qin Ming's brows furrowed, but he did not back down, his gaze sweeping across the dimly lit interior of the public restroom.

The mud-brick wall was splattered with filthy excrement, and several white maggots crawled on the footboard. My gaze fell on the cesspool.

A person was floating in the sewage.

White hair was scattered on the murky water, his cotton-padded coat was soaked with sewage, and his belly was swollen and round.

His face was tilted back, his mouth was wide open and filled with excrement, his eyes were half open and his cloudy eyeballs were covered with a layer of excrement.

"It's a deaf old lady, how could it be her?"

Qin Ming puffed out his cheeks, swallowed back the stomach acid that was rising in his throat, and ordered, "Get the person out of there first."

He waved behind him.

Two police officers came over with hooks and ropes, and it took them a lot of effort to drag the body out of the cesspool.

The old woman's body was swollen from being soaked in fecal water, so heavy that it took two people to lift her.

"vomit……"

The body was placed on the open ground outside the public toilet, and a sound of retching came from the crowd of onlookers.
