Chapter 144 The Southern Region Project: Altar Sacrifice
The folk customs of this world are really strong.
It's a pity that Jiang Erlang is not interested in this kind of thing. He just wants to capture Wang Youcai now.
Just as he was thinking... Wu Dashu suddenly pulled Jiang Erlang and ran to the back of the house. As he ran, he said, "Here you go, Wang Youcai is here."
When Su Qing heard this, he naturally followed him.
The three of them hid behind Widow Zhang's house, and soon saw a man walking over with a piece of fat in his hand.
This Wang Youcai is about thirty-five years old. He has been doing rough work for many years and has a very strong body. However, he is not very good-looking, dark and rough.
"Catch him?" Su Qing asked carefully.
"It's too noisy to catch him outside, wait for him to enter the house first." Jiang Erlang replied softly.
"Okay." Su Qing nodded.
After Wu Dashu thought for a while, he gave a suggestion: "I personally suggest that we wait until he enters the house and has about a stick of incense before we take action."
"Oh? Why?" Su Qing didn't seem to understand.
"Because, at that time... he couldn't escape." Wu Dashu said solemnly.
When Jiang Erlang heard this, he looked at Wu Dashu with a somewhat 'appreciative' look. This little old man... knew it very well, no wonder he could be the village chief.
Su Qing was about to ask again, but Wang Youcai had already approached.
Then she closed her mouth.
…
When Wang Youcai arrived at Widow Zhang's door, the first thing he looked at was the corn hanging on the door. After seeing only a bunch of corn hanging, his eyes became a little anxious.
However, before entering the house, he still looked around. After seeing that there was nothing unusual, he hung another bunch of corn on the door.
Then, he immediately pushed open the ajar wooden door.
Soon there was a movement inside.
A woman said softly: "You damn thing, what are you doing here in broad daylight?"
"Didn't the Chen family just kill a pig? I cut up half a catty of meat... and brought it here specially for you."
"Just giving away meat? I don't know what you are thinking, you damn thing."
"What if?"
"Oh...you damn thing, didn't you say you only give me meat? What are you doing..." The woman seemed to be struggling, but her tone soon softened: "Don't be so impatient..."
"Hurry...I can't help it anymore!"
"..."
Su Qing was listening outside the door, her face looking a little red.
Wu Dashu's face was also a little rosy, but it was a little different from Su Qing's.
Ejiro continued to listen and counted the time silently.
After about a stick of incense...
The sounds in the room became much quieter, but the movements became louder.
Wu Dashu took a deep breath and said, "It's almost done. Jiang Yinqi can take action. Do you want the little old man to help?"
"No, just stay outside." After Jiang Erlang said, he glanced at Su Qing again: "Su Yinqi is also waiting outside to prevent him from jumping out of the window and escaping."
"Shall I go in with you?" Su Qing clenched her fists.
"The scene inside... I guess it's not pretty." Jiang Erlang raised his lips and said, "It's better for Su Yinqi to stay outside. I'll let you in after I take the person."
"Okay." Su Qing finally didn't insist anymore.
Jiang Erlang walked to the door lightly, then jumped directly over the wall and entered.
…
Widow Zhang's house has three rooms in total.
After Jiang Erlang heard the voice, he walked straight to the middle room.
The door has been closed from the inside. It can be seen that Wang Youcai is still very careful.
So, what to do?
Jiang Erlang didn't hesitate and kicked him away.
"Peng!"
There was a loud noise.
Inside, they were doing some kind of exercise on the couch. The two naked figures were obviously frightened.
Both eyes instinctively looked toward the door.
Then, there seemed to be sparks flickering in the air.
Wang Youcai, who was lying on Widow Zhang, looked a little angry and roared: "Damn it... why didn't you knock on the door when you came in?!"
"Because the door is locked." Jiang Erlang dodged into the house and closed the wooden door he kicked open: "You can continue, I don't mind waiting a little longer."
"oops!"
Widow Zhang woke up at this time.
He quickly pushed Wang Youcai away from him and hurriedly put on his clothes.
Unfortunately, those clothes fell to the ground, and she could only cover her body with the quilt first, but even so, her two long white legs were still exposed.
Wang Youcai was just about to speak again when suddenly he recognized the black night watch uniform on Jiang Erlang.
In an instant, his expression changed drastically.
Without any more nonsense, he didn't even have time to put on his clothes, so he ran towards the window, intending to jump out of the window and escape.
How could Jiang Erlang give him this opportunity?
When Wang Youcai took two steps, he drew his saber and slashed at him.
"ah!
!”
Wang Youcai was so frightened that he rolled over and hit the wooden table in the room.
Jiang Erlang stopped talking nonsense.
He walked up to Wang Youcai and stepped on the ground with one foot: "What? You ran away when you saw me? Is it because you killed the night watchman of my Night Detective Department?"
"No, no, no matter how brave you are, you wouldn't dare to kill the night watchman!" Wang Youcai turned pale with fright, and kept begging Jiang Erlang for mercy.
Jiang Erlang waved his hand and slapped him again: "You still don't admit it? Wang Youcai, I came here specifically to catch you today. You are the one responsible for Yan Jinqi's death!"
"No, no!
!" Wang Youcai was slapped, and his whole body trembled: "Yan Jinqi's death has nothing to do with me, he was..."
Having said this, Wang Youcai suddenly shut his mouth.
Jiang Erlang laughed.
This king is talented and he really knows something.
However, he has no plans to kill Wang Youcai for the time being. After all, he is not yet sure whether Wang Youcai was involved in Yan Yu's case.
Just in time, take this opportunity to see Su Qing's interrogation methods?
Jiang Erlang remembered that Su Qing mentioned it when Jun came to the inn. When it came to interrogation... in the Night Detective Department, she was the second best, but no one dared to be the first.
"Put on your pants, but only pants!"
"Okay, okay!"
Wang Youcai immediately got up and put on his pants.
When he was about to put on his clothes again, he suddenly saw the murderous look in Jiang Erlang's eyes, and immediately stopped and just threw his clothes aside.
Jiang Erlang said hello outside: "Su Yinqi, you can come in."
"Crunch!"
The wooden door made a soft sound.
Su Qing, dressed in black, walked in.
Her eyes immediately turned to Widow Zhang in the room, she let out a soft hum, and then she walked to Wang Youcai.
"Jiang Yinqi, are you going to interrogate now?" Su Qing asked.
"Well, I'll leave it to you to judge." Jiang Erlang took two steps and found a chair to sit down on.
"OK."
Su Qing nodded, but looked at Widow Zhang.
When Widow Zhang saw Su Qing's eyes, her expression suddenly changed. She no longer cared about the clothes that covered her body, and knelt on the bed: "Don't kill me, sir, don't kill me, a civilian woman doesn't know anything..."
"
Su Qing frowned, walked directly in front of Widow Zhang, and slapped her with her palm.
There was a snap.
Widow Zhang fainted on the bed.
Su Qing casually covered Widow Zhang's body with the quilt.
Then, she walked up to Wang Youcai again, with a cold smile on her face: "Don't scream, if you dare to scream, I will kill you."
"No……"
"Snapped!"
"I told you not to scream!"
"..."
Wang Youcai immediately shut his mouth.
Su Qing took out another thin rope from his body, quickly tied Wang Youcai tightly, and stuffed a piece of linen cloth into his mouth.
Jiang Erlang watched all this silently, he didn't quite understand... Isn't it an interrogation? Why stuffed with linen?
In this case, how should Wang Youcai explain it?
Haven't had time to think too much.
He then saw Su Qing take out a small cloth bag from her body.
And poured out a handful of 'tools' that smelled of blood, including finger-length knives, and sharp needles covered with blood scabs.
Is this Su Qing's torture device? Jiang Erlang's eyes lit up.
Su Qing placed all the torture instruments in front of Wang Youcai one by one, and muttered to himself: "It's been a long time since I used all the torture instruments, Wang Youcai, right? Don't rush to explain, I
Normally, if you haven’t played for two hours, you won’t be in a hurry to ask questions.”
“Uh-huh!
!”
Wang Youcai's body continued to struggle and tremble, and his eyes widened.
Jiang Erlang finally figured it out.
This method of psychological pressure...is truly terrifying!
He deserves to be the number one night detective in Xingxun!
…
Su Qing really had no intention of interrogating Xun.
After arranging all the torture instruments, she took out a sharp needle, and then, slowly... twisting... inch by inch, she inserted it into one of Wang Youcai's fingernails.
Wang Youcai kept screaming and screaming, his dark face completely distorted.
One needle is inserted.
Su Qing was about to insert the second one.
Wang Youcai couldn't bear it anymore. His body twisted like an earthworm, and his moans became more urgent, as if he wanted to tell something.
Su Qing inserted the second needle again.
At this time, Wang Youcai shed tears of pain, and the expression on his face was already one of desperate begging.
"It's so boring." Su Qing sighed and casually pulled off the linen covering Wang Youcai's mouth: "Give you a chance and tell me."
"What do you want to ask, sir? I'll tell you everything I know."
"It seems you still don't want to say it?" Su Qing frowned and prepared to stuff the linen cloth in again: "It's become interesting again, hehe."
"No... don't, I said I will tell you everything... Yan Jinqi was killed by those outsiders... It really has nothing to do with me..."
"That's not what I asked." Su Qing shook her head.
"Ah? Then you want to... Oh, I know!" Wang Youcai reacted suddenly: "What they dug is not a well at all... It looks like they are digging a well... But it is actually an altar... Yes
, it’s an altar. Although I haven’t seen an altar, I think it is!”
"Go on!" Su Qing looked at Wang Youcai.
"They slaughter livestock every day in the well... in the altar, including pigs and cows... The piece of fat I took today was stolen from the altar..."
"anything else?"
"That's all I know, by the way... I also overheard what they were saying... about Shou Xin... and some kind of witch god... yes, it's the witch god!"
"Witch God?"
"Yes, yes, I really don't know the rest! Grandma, please spare me...please!" Wang Youcai was about to collapse, and the ground was wet.
Su Qing nodded and asked: "How many people are there in Li Zhuang? Tell us everything about the situation inside, otherwise..."
"I said it, I said it all!"
…
In less than a moment.
Wang Youcai told everything about Li Zhuang.
According to Wang Youcai, there are a total of seventeen people living in Li Zhuang. In addition, there are four people living outside Li Zhuang, located around Li Zhuang.
Jiang Erlang guessed that it should be the spy of the wizard from the southern region.
In addition, Wang Youcai also mentioned that there seemed to be some movement among those people from the Southern Region this morning, as if they were setting up something in Lizhuang.
"Sure enough, did you receive the news in advance? If it was arranged this morning... it should have nothing to do with Li Fu." Jiang Erlang felt confirmed in his heart.
If it was Li Fu who spread the news, then the wizards of the Southern Region should have taken action last night.
…
After Su Qing finished interrogating Wang Youcai, she looked at Jiang Erlang again.
Jiang Erlang knew what Su Qing wanted to ask.
If Wang Youcai is knocked unconscious and imprisoned here, then the wizards of the Southern Territory will definitely become suspicious if he goes back without seeing Wang Youcai in the afternoon.
"Let him go." After thinking about it, Jiang Erlang decided to let Wang Youcai go back.
"Yes." Su Qing nodded, released Wang Youcai, and then said: "You have betrayed them, so if you want to survive, the best option is to not let them find out anything is wrong with you.
"
"God's Coming"
"Little one understands, little one understands!"
"What are you going to say when you get back?" Su Qing asked again.
"The younger ones said they accidentally hurt their fingers while digging the well. This is very common among us and will definitely not arouse their suspicion." Wang Youcai said immediately.
"Okay, remember, don't think about escaping. You can survive as long as you survive today." Su Qing was still satisfied with Wang Youcai's answer.
"Is it okay to just survive today?"
"right."
"Okay... okay, I will make sure not to make them suspicious!"
"Let's go."
"Yes Yes Yes."
Wang Youcai quickly put on his clothes and ran away without even looking at Widow Zhang.
Su Qing came over at this time: "What should we do about this?"
She refers to Widow Zhang.
"Just let Wu Dashu arrange for someone to keep an eye on her." Jiang Erlang replied: "The key question now is, what is the purpose of the southern region wizard digging an altar in Jiangxia Village?"
"He just mentioned the Witch God? Are the two related?" Su Qing thought for a moment and asked.
"Well, I have such an idea too." Jiang Erlang nodded, and a guess flashed through his mind. However, he could not confirm whether this guess was correct for the time being.
"What about tonight?"
"Let's carry out the plan first." Jiang Erlang thought for a while and said.
Although the Southern Territory wizard seems to be well prepared, there are currently two Taoist Yinshen and a deputy head of the Mo family on his side. There shouldn't be any surprises, right?
