Chapter 42 Thinking of the Turtles in the Urn

Another night passed, and Bai Shier's face was a little worse than yesterday.

Because he had just received a news from Tianji Pavilion that made him very dissatisfied and somewhat helpless.

On the night just past, another corpse similar to the death of last night was found, and the number surged three times compared to last night.

Although it is not clear how many people there are in this group of Japanese teams this time, four people were killed in just two nights, and the second night was three times higher than the first night. If they continue to develop at this speed, they are afraid that these Japanese people will be destroyed in groups of only five days.

This is undoubtedly a bad news for Bai Shier, who is eager to find the Japanese and try to get into their organization Gao Tianyuan.

But there are still people in Ningbo Prefecture who have a headache than Bai Shier, and there are not only one or two.

Needless to say, the Jinyiwei, who was touched into the stronghold by the killer and assassinated an important witness, was a little crazy. They had already regarded this group of Japanese people as the last straw for the Jinyiwei of Ningbo Prefecture. Now these Japanese people who were regarded as life-saving straws by them were broken and chopped up one by one by one by the killers hidden in the dark. How could they not have a headache or even go crazy?

The other two people who were deeply troubled by this matter were naturally the prefect of Ningbo Prefecture and the magistrate of Yin County, who was also an official in Ningbo Prefecture City.

Especially Chu Yinliang, the magistrate of Yin County, was so worried that his hair was about to fall out after four murders that occurred one after another at two nights.

Three lives of misfortune, the county magistrate was affiliated with Guo.

Compared with other county magistrates who were "high in the sky and far away from the emperor", it has never been a good job to be in the same place as the prefect's office or even on the same street.

After all, there is a serious and honest boss above. He cannot be as powerful as other magistrates in a county like he does. He must be trembling in his work and be extremely careful to serve him. Whenever a major murder case like this happens like now, it is even more miserable.

Such a major case that killed people, and was a continuous and without any clues, would not be less pressure even if the prefect was encountered by the governor.

But the one who is really under the pressure is a county magistrate like Chu Yinliang.

After all, although this Ningbo Prefecture is also located in Ningbo Prefecture, it is also the Yin County Prefecture. Unless you encounter a prefect who likes to face difficulties, you will definitely push the matter directly to your subordinates.

And in this world, no matter how you look at it, you only account for a small number of people.

Therefore, when the yamen runners reported the news, this case occurred one after another, with four victims already happening, and it was naturally pushed to the subordinate Chu Yinliang by the prefect of Ningbo Prefecture.

Are you subordinates? They are just for taking the blame.

So Chu Yinliang was so tragic.

Fortunately, because the Jinyiwei had notified him before and asked him to help the people who found the city, Chu Yinliang knew that this serial murder case that had caused panic in Ningbo City was not able to investigate alone by relying on his own strength. The Jinyiwei would definitely provide him with a lot of help.

Of course, if the Jinyiwei can take over the main tasks and responsibilities of investigating the case, he only needs to help on the side, it will undoubtedly be the best.

...

The three Mato Hirota who were still hiding in the Pan family's home also knew about the bad news.

This time, they didn't even need Pan to inquire for them, because as long as they lay beside the door or under the window and pricked up their ears, they could hear a lot of information mixed with their speculations and various rumors from the women outside who like gossip.

Even if ninety percent of the news is fake, the three murders that caused all this will not be fake, because there are three corpses to prove it. Moreover, even if the officials and officials have all their brains broken, they dare not make up the news that would inevitably cause commotion and worry if they spread.

After all, from ancient times to the present, maintaining social stability has always been one of the most important roles of the government. As one of them, they dare not make such jokes about their jobs or even their lives.

However, at this moment, Hirota and the other two did not hide under the window and eavesdrop on the door. Instead, they all looked serious, with a pale face sitting around the table, with a blank look on their faces, looking ahead with a hollow look, like three soulless walking corpses.

Bai Shier and others were tracking their hunters and didn't know how many people they came this time, but it was obvious that the three of them could not have known.

Especially as the captain, he personally selected his subordinate Hirota.

Nine people.

It is everyone who sneaked into Ningbo Prefecture this time.

In order to act flexibly, after entering Ningbo City, they were divided into three teams, each with three people.

Mado Hirota and the other three were the first team.

Judging from the news obtained in the past two days, one of the other two teams except the three of them had collapsed, one of them died on the first night, and the remaining two were unknown.

Another team was obviously destroyed last night.

This means that they are already the last complete team.

But this completeness does not bring too much security to the three of them. On the contrary, after hearing the news of three people being killed last night from the long-tongued women this morning, the first emotion that emerged in their hearts was fear.

Even if it is the irritable and conceited Matoyo.

Because he knew very well that although they were the first team, their strength was not much stronger than the other two teams.

If an enemy with unknown situation can easily destroy other teams, then when they meet the other party, perhaps at most they can only last a few more breaths.

Considering that there are many Jinyiwei outside tracking them in the city day and night, the opponent's strength is undoubtedly even more terrifying.

Even if the three of them acted together, they would not dare to say that one of them could escape alive. If they were as planned before, at night, one of them would stay to monitor the Pan family and the other two would go to the city to search for other companions, they would undoubtedly be giving heads to the enemy.

But would they hide in the home of a few girls like frightened mice, hiding in a fearless house?

Moreover, they were very suspicious in their hearts, could they really hide like this? Will those people find them? At that time, wouldn’t they become the “turtle in the jar” described in the Chinese idioms?
