Chapter 404

~7 min read 1,324 words

These words exploded in everyone's minds like a heavy bomb.

All eyes stared at this terrifying face, and a thousand waves surged in their hearts!

The Warlord Leader, who dominated one side and had infinite power, was lying at their feet at this moment?

This ruthless man, who was decisive in killing and had infinite blood on his hands, was a legendary figure who commanded an army of lions.

It is no exaggeration to say that if the Warlord Leader stomped his feet, the entire Jinshan City would tremble three times.

Once these four words were spoken, even a child could stop crying.

Having been on expeditions for thirty years with few defeats, his terrifying military advisor combat ability and methods that made people hear his name and tremble were famous throughout the country!

Yet, such a high-ranking and powerful figure was turned into a mummy and hung inside a wall?

At this very moment, the scene was silent, and you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone even held their breath, not daring to speak loudly.

Those with smaller guts even had thoughts of running away.

But those damn feet seemed to be filled with lead, making it difficult to move.

"Gulp~"

Don't know who swallowed their saliva, suddenly breaking the silence.

The underling beside Zhao Xian was so scared that he almost lost his soul and jumped up immediately!

"What's with this panicked look? Stand still for me!" Zhao Xian shouted in a deep voice.

"Boss, it's not that I don't want to be calm, it's... my damn legs can't control themselves!" one person showed a bitter look, his two legs shaking straight.

"What's there to be afraid of with a dead person, could it be that he can rise from the dead and eat you?" Zhao Xian looked disappointed.

Suddenly, the corpse moved abruptly, immediately scaring Zhao Xian into flying into the air.

"Boss, you this..." the man looked at his uncertain appearance and spoke weakly.

Zhao Xian had just finished scolding, but he reacted so strongly himself, and his face couldn't hold it anymore.

He wanted to throw out a couple of dirty words, but seeing Su Yang fiddling with the corpse, he swallowed the words back to his mouth.

He saw Su Yang untie all the bandages on the corpse and seriously examine his body.

It was dissected along the center line of the body, and the internal organs were all stripped away, in a hollowed-out state.

The inside was filled with some anti-corrosive substances and spices, and that fragrance was transmitted from here.

"Strange..." Lin Yang frowned tightly.

"What's strange?" Zhao Xian asked.

Lin Yang squatted down and checked the corpse with Su Yang.

"The corpse is preserved very well, and the anti-corrosive level is also top-notch."

"However..."

"But I don't see any fatal wounds on the corpse."

Once these words were spoken, everyone hurriedly opened their eyes to look.

Sure enough, after looking from top to bottom, they didn't even find a trace of a wound.

"Could it be that he was poisoned?" Zhao Xian speculated.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Su Yang said.

Now that the internal organs are gone, it's difficult to see if he was poisoned.

Unless a professional forensic doctor is invited to perform an autopsy.

Su Yang flipped the corpse over, looked at the mottled postmortem lividity faintly visible on the back, and frowned.

"This person hasn't been dead for too long, estimated to be within a week."

Lin Yang suddenly thought of something and said in surprise: "Isn't that when we came..."

Su Yang nodded slightly, slowly laid the corpse flat, and went to the bathroom to wash his hands.

"This..."

Everyone looked at each other, all seeing shock in each other's eyes.

The time of death was recent, so why wasn't there any wind?

Logically speaking, the Warlord Leader had strict control around him, and ten well-trained bodyguards protected him personally.

Even when he went to the bathroom, people were guarding outside the door.

Not to mention the food he ate; he had specialized poison testers, and they would change a batch every week.

The place where he lived was heavily guarded, and everything within five miles was a restricted area.

Let alone killing him, even getting close was a difficult thing.

After Su Yang returned from washing his hands, everyone looked at him, showing a bitter look.

"Gang Leader, what should we do?"

"What do you mean what should we do?" Su Yang asked back.

"You also know... the Warlord has the final say in Jinshan City, their leader died here, and we dug him out..." the underling said bitterly.

The meaning is self-evident; if such a big thing is revealed, everyone present, including their relatives, will suffer.

Exterminating the nine clans is not impossible.

"Are you sure he is the Warlord Leader?" Su Yang looked at the lean man who discovered it first.

"Eighty percent, I have a photographic memory for people; two years ago I saw him at a ceremony, the Warlord Leader's biggest feature is an oval mole on the corner of his eye." the man explained.

Su Yang looked carefully and discovered that there was indeed such a feature on the corner of the corpse's eye.

"Maybe someone looks very similar to him?" Lin Yang said.

The man thought for a while, and suddenly realized, "I remember now, the Warlord Leader has two gold teeth in his mouth, both are big teeth on the upper row, probably in... the innermost position."

Hearing this, Su Yang took a chopstick and pried open the corpse's mouth to look inside.

Sure enough, two gold teeth were shining brightly under the light.

"Is it really him?" everyone was shocked.

Originally they still held a fluke mentality, what if it was someone who looked similar?

Now that all the features match, doesn't that mean...

The Warlord Leader is really dead?

Who did it?!

Countless doubts lingered in their hearts; they couldn't imagine who could kill the Warlord Leader and hide the corpse here silently.

There are not a few people who have this courage and thought.

But there isn't a single person in the entire Jinshan City who has this ability.

If someone could do it, the Warlord Leader would have been killed thirty years ago when he entered Jinshan City.

Why wait so long?

The more Lin Yang thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, "The leader is dead, but there is no movement inside the Warlord, isn't this unreasonable?"

"Also, even if he was assassinated, shouldn't the people serving him search the whole city when they find he's not there?"

"How could they let the boss be buried in a cold wall? Used to suppress Feng Shui?"

Yeah...

People also felt it was very eerie.

If according to what Su Yang said, this person died a week ago, then there should have been some reaction during this time.

But the Warlord side was doing the original things as usual, seemingly knowing nothing about it.

Even if they wanted to cover up the news, fearing to cause chaos, they wouldn't do nothing.

This does not conform to the Warlord's consistent style.

Yet what Su Yang thought of was another layer, "First, we must figure out why the Warlord Leader would be buried in Jiang Hen Zhi's house?"

"With his style of doing things, he wouldn't dare to do this even if you gave him ten guts."

"Then I can reasonably assume that Jiang Hen Zhi himself didn't know about this, or rather... he didn't discover that the person in the coffin was the Warlord Leader."

The more Lin Yang listened, the more confused he felt, "Yeah, how could it appear in Jiang Hen Zhi's house so coincidentally?"

Slaughtered Jiang Hen Zhi on the front foot, and discovered a time bomb during the process of raiding the house on the back foot?

Wouldn't this be too coincidental?
