One hundred and thirty seventh Jason the Ripper II
What the two detectives said were well-known things. At that time, the abolition movement was aroused. Not only newspapers in the three western states repeatedly analyzed it in depth, but also foreign newspapers often ridiculed the federal government as both a front and a memorial arch, covering up the situation.
Stupid thing to cover up.
The reason why many slaves in the White Eagle Federation flee from the east to the west every year is because the two northern states in the east that have nominally abolished slavery are extremely harsh on workers due to industrial needs, and their quality of life is far inferior to what they were when they were still slaves.
At that time, those slaves who were released from the farms and locked up in factories by the capitalists realized that they had been cheated.
As for the manor owners who were originally targeted by the eastern government, except for those who were bankrupt, most of them had transferred their assets to the three western states. No one would accept the idea of returning to the manor to continue working.
Having tasted the bitter pill, the slaves of the Black Continent chose to escape.
Unfortunately, many slaves died on the way to escape. Even when they reached the west, they would find that their former masters hated their betrayal and launched new immigration laws to restrict fugitive slaves from the Black Continent from settling in the three western states.
Without property or land, they could only work as temporary workers in hard labor places such as mines and docks, but they could barely survive.
So these former black continent slaves are now illegal migrant workers stranded in the three western states. Although life is not good, they can still have food to eat. Unlike in the factories in the east, if they don't work, they will be whipped.
and an exhausting ending.
Because the law does not allow black households without formal jobs and legal status to rent or buy houses in Jinsha Port, these black mainland slave workers can only hide in the slums of the factory area, which lowers the security level of the factory area and dock area.
Let the police easily distinguish cases involving them, because their skin color is the most striking feature.
The reason why this large-scale search was launched in the morning and the results were obtained so quickly in the evening was because the clues were too obvious.
Except for a few nobles and wealthy businessmen, few civilians will accept Black Continent slaves as their property, even the wealthy middle class. This is because most Black Continent slaves, even if they are well trained, are inevitably lazy and free.
Their behavior and lack of hygiene have made them the source of epidemics.
Therefore, outside of the factory area and dock area, there are basically few people with black mainland skin tones in Jinsha Port.
The people living in this residential house in front of them are just ordinary civilians. The main labor force of the Lawson family is Johnny Lawson, the son of a middle-level leader of a small gang in the docks. This allows them to settle their home in a middle-class city not far from Clinton.
Far away, although the security here is not very good, it is still a factory area, but it is much better than those slums with sewage flowing across it.
Such a family actually took in slaves from the Black Continent, and there were more than one. How could they not be suspected?
So just by asking the surrounding neighbors in secret, the police officers discovered that something was wrong with the Lawson family.
Because a neighbor occasionally saw the old men and children of the Lawson family working in the yard, while the black mainlanders who were nominally slaves were drinking tea and enjoying themselves. This was undoubtedly an extremely abnormal situation.
The middle and high-level police officers at the Jinsha Port Police Station are not all ordinary people without knowledge. There are still a few who have been exposed to the secrets of the extraordinary world. Naturally they understand that something is wrong here, so they carefully arrange the first batch of raiding personnel to be capable.
of his men, and all carried steam muskets.
However, before the police officers got within thirty feet of the Lawson family's house, they heard a sharp howl coming from inside.
"rush……"
The screams in unknown languages like wild animals made the police officers understand that they had been exposed. Although they did not know how they were exposed, the arrows had to be fired, and the police officers had no choice but to charge immediately and break down the door, aiming their muskets at the inside and shooting.
Bang bang bang...
Several gunshots were fired, but the result was almost nothing.
Only one Black Continental man sprained his foot while avoiding the shooting.
Then there was a burst of chirping.
The two old Lawsons, both in their fifties, stood up unsteadily and rushed toward the police officers who broke in.
"Stop, raise your hands..."
"Don't come any closer, we are going to shoot..."
The police officers shouted to stop, but the two old men who acted strangely turned a deaf ear, and their cloudy eyes had no focus at all.
The detectives watching from behind reacted immediately.
"Shoot, they are already dead, these are the soul-bound corpses of the Voodoo Sect..."
However, the detective's warning was already too late. The police officer in front was worried about the lives of the two old men and did not have time to shoot. He was already a few steps away from him.
Fortunately, they were surrounded by their own people in the front, back and left of the yard. When a police sergeant standing on the left wall saw this situation, he not only shot himself, but also ordered the men next to him to shoot together. The relatively accurate shooting skills of the two men
The "old man" of the Lawson family was beaten like a sieve, but he stood up unsteadily and attacked the police officers again.
The police officers present were frightened by this scene.
The demon hunter who came quickly from behind reminded loudly again:
"It's useless, they are just dead bodies, attacking those who manipulate the dead bodies..."
The police officers suddenly woke up and started shooting at the few black mainlanders who had hid in the house. The two police officers at the door had an idea, picked up the door panel from the ground and pressed it towards the two old people.
He suppressed the soul-bound corpse whose body had been severely damaged by bullets and temporarily controlled it.
"Shock!"
The demon hunter jumped over the wall first, followed closely by Detective James who walked through the main entrance and launched an attack on the Black Continental man who had a necklace of bones and teeth hanging around his neck and was standing at the window preparing to cast a spell for a sneak attack.
attack.
"Haha! The ability of a psychic is still very useful! Continue..."
John Salvatore raised his hand and fired a crossbow arrow to seal the throat of the shocked Black Continent wizard. Although grudges were inevitable when they met, the two of them cooperated with each other in a tacit understanding.
"snort!"
As a psychic medium, Detective James snorted proudly, and then activated his ability again.
"disperse!"
I saw a flash of white light, which immediately dispelled the spell of a voodoo wizard who summoned a green smoke in the house. The strange green smoke didn't look like a good thing.
The backlash of the spell immediately caused the wizard to let out a scream, and then he was struck down with a sword by the demon hunter who jumped in from the window.
At this time, there was a loud roar from behind, mixed with the sound of steam musket shooting and human screams.
When the duo of the demon hunter and the psychic, as well as the psychic's guard, Detective Chris, rushed to the back of the house, they found that the wall behind had been destroyed to create a big hole, and a strong white man was guarding a skinny black continent.
People are fleeing deeper into the alley.
There were two wailing police officers lying around. Apparently, their sternum and ribs were broken due to a strong impact.
But they should be lucky that this was not the opponent's claws, but just an impact injury, otherwise they would have been disemboweled by now.
"It's Jason Lawson..."
"Hurry up and chase!"
The sergeant in charge of the encirclement behind sent two of his men to look after the two injured police officers. After saying hello, he immediately led the remaining men to chase the murderer.
"Jason Lawson is the eldest son of the Lawson family who is a middle-level gang leader. It seems that this guy has been controlled by the voodoo wizard and transformed into the early form of the Skinwalker."
James was panting and said to the others while following the footsteps of the witcher.
"Follow up quickly!"
Seeing this guy's appearance, the demon hunter immediately carried him on his back. After being transformed by the promotion potion, the extraordinary demon hunter's body was different from that of ordinary people. Even with a man weighing more than a hundred pounds on his back, he could still walk quickly. Soon he was
Detective Chris walked aside and was about ten steps away.
"Monster!" The latter secretly screamed and continued to chase after him with gritted teeth.
Although he is also strong and strong, he is just an ordinary retired soldier, and his physical strength cannot be compared with that of a non-human being like Salvatore.
