A knife in love

Chapter 1713

Seeing Wang Xiaoyu's raised eyebrows and staring eyes, Qi Jiu felt uneasy, so she could only smile and say, "Miss Wang, my wording is inappropriate. It's not that I doubt what you said, and I hope you don't blame her."

Wang Xiaoyu flattened her mouth, seeing Qi Jiu showing weakness, but she didn't want to humiliate him, she was trying to imitate the plot in the play, and said a few words to let Qi Jiu find a step down, but she heard Murong Danyan whispering in her ear. Bian said: "Sister Xiaoyu, Brother Li and Mr. Qi are discussing important matters, so it's better not to disturb us."

Wang Xiaoyu knew that what Murong Danyan said was right, so he nodded, and said: "Well, since he paid the compensation, I won't make things difficult for him."

Seeing that Wang Xiaoyu was in trouble with Qi Jiu repeatedly, Li Qiufeng was quite annoyed. He originally planned to teach her a few words, but fortunately Murong Danyan comforted Wang Xiaoyu first, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said to Qi Jiu: : "According to Brother Qi, these Japanese pirates just died?"

Qi Jiu nodded, and said in his mouth: "I'm afraid it's true. I have some speculation, but I have to salvage a few corpses and examine them carefully before I can know whether my speculation is right or wrong."

Li Qiufeng said: "Okay, then let's salvage a few corpses and see what's weird about them."

The edge of the stone platform was more than five feet away from the water surface. At this time, there were twenty or thirty corpses floating on the water surface at the edge of the stone platform, undulating with the waves.Li Qiufeng and Qi Jiu each grabbed the rocks on the edge of the stone platform and hung their bodies outside the stone platform. Without much effort, they salvaged the corpses of six Japanese soldiers and jumped back to the stone platform.

Just now there was a big change on the stone platform, but in less than half an hour, shopkeepers Luo, Ji, Hu, Qin Laowu, and Song all died one after another.Among them, shopkeepers Ji and Luo were shot to death by Japanese pirates' random arrows, and their bodies were left at the left end of the stone platform. Under the threat of Japanese pirate ships, no one dared to carry the corpses back. Right side of stage.Li Qiufeng and Qi Jiu salvaged six corpses from the water and put them together with the corpses of Qin Laowu and others, immediately filling the stone platform.Although Murong Danyan and Wang Xiaoyu didn't even blink their eyes when they killed the Japanese pirates, they were terrified when they saw so many corpses in front of them, and they couldn't help but took a few steps back, not daring to approach the corpses.

Xiao Dong and Zhang Shi didn't know what flaws Qi Jiu wanted to find out from the corpse, so they stepped forward and stared at Qi Jiu closely.I saw Qi Jiu leaning down, pointing to the corpse of a Japanese pirate soldier and said: "Brother Li, please look. This corpse has all four limbs, but there are many small holes in the center of the brow, left cheek, throat, front chest, etc. I'm here During Dengzhouwei, I saw officers and soldiers try out firearms. At that time, the officers and soldiers shot pork with firecrackers, and the bullet holes left were the same as these small holes."

When Qi Jiu said this, he swung the long knife with his right hand and immediately chopped off the head of the corpse.Murong Danyan and Wang Xiaoyu were three or four steps away from Qi Jiu. They didn't expect Qi Jiu to cut off the head of the corpse suddenly with a knife, and they were horrified.Wang Xiaoyu couldn't help but said loudly: "Hey, although the Japanese pirates are hateful, but he's dead, and it's all over. Why do you trample on his corpse?!"

Qi Jiu ignored Wang Xiaoyu, and used the long knife in his hand to scratch at the severed neck of the corpse a few times, then turned to Li Qiufeng and said, "Brother Li, please look, there are bullets in the small hole in the throat of the corpse. "

Li Qiufeng leaned down and looked intently, only to see Qi Jiupa pulling out a small black iron pellet, which was exactly the same as the pellets contained in the box that shopkeeper Ji, Qin Laowu and others had brought out from the bilge of the big ship.Li Qiufeng stared at the bullet, thoughtful.Qi Jiu held the knife with both hands, pointed the tip of the knife at the small hole in the chest of the corpse, and stabbed it hard.

When Murong Danyan and Wang Xiaoyu saw Qi Jiu's actions, they felt disgusted in their chests and almost vomited, so they had to turn their backs, feeling uncertain in their hearts.

Qi Jiu pierced the Japanese pirate's bamboo armor with a long knife, and gouged out a piece of flesh around the small hole.Qi Jiu supported the piece of meat with the blade of the knife, carefully placed it on the stone platform, then turned the meat twice with a long knife, and heard a crisp sound, a black projectile rolled out of the meat, hitting the stone platform above.

Qi Jiu smiled, and said: "Although the people of Fusang are fierce, they are still a small country with poor people. The soldiers don't have iron helmets and armor, so they have to make up armor with bamboo pieces. Although Japanese pirates are cunning, before making bamboo armor, Bamboo pieces are first soaked in oil for several days, and the bamboo armor made is extremely hard and can withstand guns and bayonets. However, it is far from being used to deal with the bullets fired by firecrackers. If officers and soldiers can use firecrackers , instead of fighting with the Japanese pirates with swords and guns, the Japanese pirates must be defeated."

At this time, Li Qiufeng's heart was clear, and he said in his mouth: "Brother Qi is as meticulous as a hair, and Li admires it. If Brother Qi is not so careful, I'm afraid we still don't know how these Japanese pirates died."

Qi Jiu stood up, shook his head, and said: "Brother Li is absurd. I just saw officers and soldiers practicing firearms in Dengzhou Guard. If it weren't for that, I would never see anything weird about these corpses."

Xiao Dong and Zhang Shi listened to Li Qiufeng and Qi Jiu's conversation, they didn't know what they were talking about, and they were suspicious.Xiao Dong couldn't help but said to Li Qiufeng: "Lord Li, even if these corpses were hit by bullets, what's so strange?"

Li Qiufeng smiled slightly, and said in his mouth: "Master Xiao, we used gunpowder to blow up the isolated peak and overturned the Japanese pirate ship. The Japanese pirate soldiers on the ship were crushed to death by rocks, and most of them were incomplete. But the bodies of the corpses in front of us are not There are no traces of being smashed, and it seems that he did not die when the isolated peak collapsed. Brother Qi was very careful and found that there were many bullet holes left by the firecrackers on the body. But from the beginning to the end, we did not use the firecrackers to deal with Japanese pirates , How could there be bullet holes in these corpses?"

When Li Qiufeng said this, he paused for a while, glanced at the corpse under his feet, and continued: "Before the shopkeeper Ji died, he told us that there were two boxes of projectiles hidden in the bilge of the big ship. If the gunpowder explodes, the projectiles The shock is very similar to the situation when a firecracker fires a projectile. It can be said that the person who is hit will definitely die. Just now when the gunpowder exploded, we lay down on the stone platform and heard a very strange sound, and the stone wall was also covered by many small things. When the hit hit, debris flew around. It seems that when the gunpowder exploded, the projectiles in the box were blasted out. If shopkeeper Ji hadn't warned in advance, we would still be standing on the stone platform, and we would have died under the projectiles. Fifth Brother Qin was hit by a projectile and lost his life because he was too big and didn't have time to get down."

Hearing what Li Qiufeng said, Zhang Shi hurriedly turned his head to look at Qin Laowu's body.I saw Qin Lao Wu's forehead, shoulders, chest, lower abdomen, legs, etc. There are indeed many small holes, but these small holes have been covered by coagulated blood. of.Zhang Shi had inspected Qin Laowu's body before, but at that time blood still flowed from the small hole. He thought that Qin Laowu was stoned to death like shopkeeper Song, and he had no doubts in his heart.It wasn't until he heard Li Qiufeng's words that Zhang Shi suddenly realized. Thinking of his friendship with Qin Laowu for many years, his heart ached and he almost shed tears again.
