Merchant of the Underworld

Chapter 31 Cut in half

Soon, Song Longji told me that he had found it, and took me to the place where k Zai lived.

Mr. K lived in a simple rental house. The police opened the door in a few seconds. The whole room was in a mess and smelled bad. There was only a bed, a cabinet, and a computer desk.

Kim himself is not at home.

We briefly searched around the room, and something caught my attention!

It was a metal object hanging under the electric fan. It looked very much like the guillotine used to cut grass in rural areas in the past. The guillotine was hung by two very thin ropes. I was really worried that if a breeze blew, the rope might break and the person would be cut in two.

On the guillotine, there is a big word injustice written in blood, and the blood on it has not even dried up.

When I saw this guillotine, I felt vaguely uneasy, because it reminded me of a kind of torture: cutting in half!

As the name suggests, beheading is to cut the prisoner in half from the waist. This kind of torture had already appeared in the distant Shang Dynasty and was not abolished until the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty.

Now that a guillotine used for cutting in half appeared in the home of the temporary owner of the human bone necklace, it made me think a lot. I suddenly felt like I had determined the origin of the human bone necklace!

During the reign of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, there was a think tank named Chao Cuo.

Chao Cuo was a famous loyal minister in the Western Han Dynasty. He devoted himself to the country and made many outstanding contributions. He was honored as the pillar of the country by the then emperor Liu Qi!

However, Chao Cuo did many things that harmed the interests of the princes.

As a result, these princes rebelled against the imperial court, causing the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms in history.

In order to appease the princes and consolidate his position, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty could only kill Chao Cuo to quell public anger!

So he sent a Zhonglang general to deceive Chao Cuo from his home on the pretext of going to court. As soon as Chao Cuo walked out of the house, the soldiers who had been ambushing him swarmed him. General Zhonglang also took out the emperor's edict and killed Chao Cuo in half on the spot.

A generation of loyal ministers died.

The people at that time missed Chao Cuo. After Chao Cuo's death, everyone cooked the intestines flowing out of Chao Cuo's body and ate them, hoping that Chao Cuo could live in the hearts of the people forever.

Then he enshrined the guillotine that killed Chao Cuo, and wrote the word injustice on it with Chao Cuo's blood to show his protest.

When Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty heard about this, he was furious!

Soldiers were immediately sent out to behead all the people, and their heads were strung together and hung on the city wall.

Later, it was said that their heads were dried, getting smaller and smaller, and finally turned into a necklace. This is the origin of the human bone necklace.

I told them my guess, and both of them couldn't help but frown. Maybe you didn’t expect that the human bone necklace was really made of human heads, right?

I told them that there are actually many types of human bone necklaces, and the one made of human heads is just derived from folklore. After all, no matter how dry a human head is, it cannot be turned into a necklace and hung around the neck.

In reality, human bone necklaces are mostly made of baby skulls, cat bones, tiger bones, or rhino horns.

Both of them nodded thoughtfully.

I think that if you want to conquer the human bone necklace, you must redress Chao Cuo, otherwise this thing will continue to kill people...

However, I'm curious, where will that guy go if he's not at home?

Could it be that he went to Du Juan Tower to take drugs again?

While thinking about it, Yin Xinyue suddenly said in a panic: No, my phone is missing.

Huh? My brain was spinning rapidly, and I immediately felt that something was fishy.

At the same time, I thought that when I first came up, someone wearing a mask touched Yin Xinyue's bag.

Could that guy be a thief? It definitely is.

And the look in that guy's eyes was very panicked, but I was in a hurry to find K, so I didn't pay attention.

Is it possible that he is k-boy himself?

But why did he steal Yin Xinyue's mobile phone? I immediately asked Yin Xinyue if her wallet was still there, and Yin Xinyue said it was still there.

Why only steal the phone but not the wallet?

I immediately realized the problem.

Li Mazi, yes, Li Mazi. I suddenly thought, would the other party use Yin Xinyue's mobile phone to send text messages to Li Mazi and ask Li Mazi out?

Li Mazi would definitely think it was Yin Xinyue who sent him the text message. With his self-control, Li Mazi would definitely not be able to resist the temptation.

He is the next owner of the human bone necklace, and the current owner will definitely try his best to deliver the human bone necklace to Li Mazi.

Without saying anything, I immediately called Li Mazi, but no one answered.

I was anxious at that time, always feeling that Li Mazi must have been asked out.

Song Longji told me not to worry. He would call the police station now and ask people from the police station to help locate Li Mazi's mobile phone.

Although I was sweating profusely with anxiety, I also knew in my heart that it was useless to worry and get angry. I had better wait for the police station’s reply!

Soon, the people from the police station sent the coordinates of the other party, saying that it might be located on the edge of Qinjiu River.

Song Longji didn't say anything, and immediately jumped into the police car and took us to the coordinates.

The Qinjiu River has pleasant scenery and cruise ships everywhere, making it a good place for a date.

But this is not a place for killing people!

In my mind, a word suddenly came to my mind: Tune the tiger away from the mountain.

Yes, to lure the tiger away from the mountain, did the other party lead us here on purpose?

My brain felt hot and I made another call. Soon, we found Li Mazi’s cell phone in a trash can.

All I see is the phone but no one.

I screamed secretly. It seemed that my guess was correct. This was indeed a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain. I immediately said to Song Longji: Go back to K's rental house quickly. That's the execution ground.

What execution ground? Song Longji looked at me in surprise.

I didn't have time to explain to him, so I just urged him to go back quickly.

Song Longji also realized the importance of the matter and immediately took us back. I was sweating profusely and praying in my heart that nothing would happen to Li Mazi.

Although this guy is full of shortcomings, in general, apart from being greedy for money and lust, his heart is not bad after all. Besides, I have been working with this guy for a while, and I feel more or less like a comrade-in-arms with him.

When we arrived at the rental house, we found that the door of the rental house had been locked. I knew that k boy must be inside.

So he winked at Song Longji, who took out his revolver and opened the door.

As soon as we entered the room, we were dizzy by the strong smell of blood. When I looked carefully, I discovered that the guillotine hanging on the electric fan had fallen down! Half of the body lay quietly on the bed, but the upper body was missing.

A trail of bloody intestines spread from the bed.

My eyes continued to search along the intestines, and finally I found the owner of the intestines in a corner.

At this moment, only the upper body of k boy was left, everything below the waist was cut off, and a large pool of intestines flowed out of his body, dripping with blood. He just lay on Li Mazi's body. Li Mazi was probably frightened and fainted, lying on the ground motionless.

And his mouth had been opened by K Zai, and K Zai's bloody hand was even placed in Li Mazi's mouth.

Seeing this scene, Yin Xinyue collapsed immediately. I had to ask Song Longji to help Yin Xinyue out, while I checked Li Mazi.

Fortunately, Li Mazi was just a little frightened. I poured a basin of cold water on his face and he soon woke up.

It seemed that this guy was really frightened out of his psychological shadow. After waking up, he screamed hysterically twice. I slapped him twice before he finally woke up.

I quickly asked Li Mazi what happened? How could he appear here.
