Chapter 458 - 458 Revenge Is Easy (1)


458 Revenge Is Easy (1)


There was the Wutong River outside Cangtong Town. The river was nearly bottomless, and almost all the nearby citizens relied on that river to live.


The weather had been too hot recently. The farmers often went into the water to cool down.


Previously, they did not notice anything unusual until the group of people went into the river yesterday. When they went ash.o.r.e, they realized that one person was missing.


He didn’t see anyone go ash.o.r.e, but he was gone. Other than an accident in the river, he didn’t think about anything else.

!!

Everyone gathered the people from Fushui and dived into the water to search. Not only did they find their companions who were entangled in the seaweed, but they also found a corpse that had long become bloated from the river.


Everyone was so frightened that they quickly got someone to report it to the authorities.


It was a female corpse. Her body had already rotted so much that her original appearance could not be seen.


Especially that face. It was the most rotten. In some places, bones were already exposed, but it was still obvious that the victim was naked.


The legs of the corpse were tied with heavy rocks. Initially, everyone wondered if some young lady had taken things too hard and tied rocks to her legs to throw them into the river.


Unexpectedly, after the autopsy, the coroner concluded that the dead woman’s face was the most rotten because it had been slashed after death.


She was disfigured after death. It couldn’t be suicide.


With a corpse that couldn’t even be identified, this case couldn’t continue.


The county magistrate thought that since the body had been found in the river, they might be able to find other clues, so he sent someone to block the upper and lower reaches of the river and drain the water.


The bottom of the river was filled with mud. Everyone searched below and quickly realized that something was wrong.


There wasn’t just one corpse.


Soon, five or six corpses were fished out one after another. The degree of decomposition was different, and the most serious one was only left with a skeleton.


The corpses were all naked. Their faces were severely rotten, and they were all women.


Unlike the first corpse whose legs were tied to rocks, the others had rocks tied to all four of their limbs.


It wasn’t hard to guess that the first body had been discovered because the rope tied to the hands had somehow fallen off and the body had risen out of the muck.


So many female corpses had appeared within his jurisdiction, and they had been discovered in front of everyone.


The county magistrate didn’t dare to hide the matter and immediately sent someone to the capital to report it. Hence, Song Jingchen left the capital to investigate.


Song Jingchen voiced his guess. “I suspect that those are the missing girls from all over the country.”


The coroner performed an autopsy and tentatively determined that the shortest time of death was seven or eight days ago. At that time, they should have just arrived in the capital.


If he was not wrong, the other party should have long known that he had the list.


He had dealt with the girls abducted from Xunyang City. No wonder he had not found anyone these past few days.


The successive attacks on Xiagou Village might have been that person’s doing.


Shen Yijia thought of Widow w.a.n.g’s death and Bruiser, who looked happy on the surface but often hid at the side in a daze, holding a silver hairpin.


The family had yet to eat lunch. Madam Li originally thought that Lord Jing’an would eat at their house, but by the time she came out of the kitchen, he had already left.


Seeing Song Jingchen return, she heaved a sigh of relief.


After dinner, Shen Yijia pulled Song Jingchen back to the house to catch up on his sleep.


Looking at the person lying on the bed and waving at him, Song Jingchen opened his mouth, but in the end, he lay down beside her.


He originally wanted to wait for Shen Yijia to fall asleep before getting up, but he did not expect Shen Yijia to be such an unpredictable person.


In order to let him rest, she drugged him again!


It was not for his health. She just wanted him to rest!


Moreover, he had no idea when that girl drugged him.


When Song Jingchen woke up, it was already two hours later.


“Hubby, you’re awake?”


As soon as he opened his eyes, he heard Shen Yijia’s careful voice.


Song Jingchen turned around and saw a certain someone meekly sitting on a short stool by the bed, staring at him without blinking.


Song Jingchen held his forehead. He couldn’t blame her at all.


“Didn’t you want to confirm if those people were from Xunyang City? I thought Pinellia and the others might be able to help.”


“I went to call Pinellia and Ginkgo over. You can bring them along later.” Shen Yijia tugged at Song Jingchen’s sleeve ingratiatingly.


“I know my mistake. I won’t dare to do it again!” Those words were written all over her face.


Song Jingchen sighed and pulled Shen Yijia closer.


Shen Yijia lost her balance and lay on him. Their eyes met.


Shen Yijia blinked, pouted, and closed her eyes obediently.


She could accept this punishment!
