The Republic of China Conspiracy Records

Chapter 111 Fisherman’s Pride (5)

Wan'er didn't wake up, and they didn't dare to call her again, but after looking at each other, they suddenly left the door and went to check under the old mulberry tree.The place where the person was buried was the same as last night, it seemed that Wan'er didn't come out of the soil.They shivered a bit, found a shovel nearby and started digging.

When the pit was dug, a huge cocoon appeared in the pit.There is a person wrapped in the cocoon, a person who should be sleeping on the bed at this moment.When Zhao Yi and the other two saw their accomplice die in the same way, they were heartbroken.This matter can no longer be explained by Wan Er playing ghosts. They were so frightened that they uttered a loud cry, and both escaped from under the old mulberry tree.

Zhao Yi and the others decided that Wan'er's claim that she saw a giant silkworm was just teasing them.It was originally a silk reeling factory, but it was abandoned for no reason. The reason may be because of the emergence of a giant silkworm that became refined.And this giant silkworm is Wan Er himself.

That's why she came here alone, because this is her lair.Otherwise, in this chaotic era, which woman would dare to go on the road alone?Since they believed so, they naturally didn't have the courage to see Wan'er again, so they ran away from the old house while Wan'er was still sleeping.

"Although I did not succeed in abducting and selling these women that time, if it hadn't been for these situations in the middle, those women would still be in dire straits at the moment." Zhao said with a pale face, "Before that, I don't know how many A girl from a good family is broken in my hands. If you are guilty, who can compare to me?"

This matter is sometimes described from a smiley perspective, presumably Zhao Yi made some imagination and supplements for the convenience of the description.After Ji Mingmei heard the story, she looked at Zhao Yi and hesitated to speak, and finally couldn't hold back and said: "You are a human trafficker yourself, thanks to the fact that you have the face to say that you hate human traffickers the most in your life!"

Zhao Yi looked at her strangely, wondering what he was thinking, and then suddenly said after a while: "It's true, what I hate the most in my life are human traffickers. Who doesn't hate what these people do? Everyone hates it, and I hate it too." , it doesn't conflict with me being a trafficker myself - I hate myself too."

Ji Mingmei and I were choked for a moment.A human trafficker keeps saying that he hates human traffickers the most in his life, which is ridiculous no matter how you hear it.But what Zhao Yi said was actually true, because he even hated himself.This... this seems even more ridiculous!

"Since you hate human traffickers, why do you still do this kind of thing?" Ji Mingmei hesitated and asked him curiously.

"At that time, I killed Wan Er because I really thought she was a human trafficker." Zhao Yi didn't answer her, but said to himself, "I didn't know she was not until later, but it was too late."

He smiled miserably as he spoke, glanced at the bottom of the boat where water was bubbling, and murmured: "Shangshibao, come fast... come fast." As he spoke, he suddenly stood up from the cabin, gritted his teeth, and jumped out of the boat It went down and was immediately swallowed by the torrent.

Both Ji Mingmei and I were surprised that he actually jumped off the boat.Although I guessed that these people all boarded the boat to die, but according to what Zhao Yi said, if they were all vicious people, how could they admit their sins after listening to the boatman's words, and then jump off the boat automatically?
There must be some reason for these people to come to die willingly.But what is the reason, he has already jumped off the boat, so naturally he will not tell us.Ji Mingmei and I were in a daze for a moment, Zhao Yi said before jumping off the boat that he really thought Wan Er was a human trafficker, so he insisted on killing her.

What is this, a human trafficker acting on behalf of the sky?
Ji Mingmei and I both went to see the boatman. The story Zhao Yi just told was related to strange powers and chaos. What is the relationship between them?

Zhao Yi said that he later found out that Wan'er was not a human trafficker, but didn't he have already left the silk reeling factory at that time, so how did he find out later?Ji Mingmei and I couldn't figure out the origin of this, because Wan'er came to see her alone, and she didn't seem to be the woman who accompanied the boatman to see the snow.

We all looked at the boatman, thinking he would say something, but the boatman just stared at the river in a daze, and didn't speak for a long time.After a while, he suddenly patted beside him vigorously, seemed quite moved, and then said with a smile: "Naihe is really well-deserved of its reputation. You see, the guilty person jumped off the boat, and the bottom of the boat immediately stopped leaking."

I turned my head to look at the leak, and suddenly found that the hole really stopped leaking water.It's just that there is a hole in the bottom of the boat but it won't leak, which is more scary than it's always leaking water.Ji Mingmei opened her mouth wide, and wanted to go over to see the hole, but she didn't dare, so she hugged my arm tightly.

The boatman stopped talking, and the boat fell into a deathly silence again.The boatman let the boat drift with the current, and did not control the direction. After a while, the boat rushed into a rapid again, and the bottom of the boat suddenly started to emit water.The boatman looked around the cabin and said, "It seems that there are still guilty people on board."

This time, after a short wait, someone raised his hand and said calmly, "Me."

The boatman asked him, "Are you guilty too?"

The man didn't answer, and after glancing at him, he turned his eyes away and said in a low voice, "My name is Qian Er, and I'm a businessman who buys silkworm cocoons."

It seemed that he was going to directly tell about the crimes he had committed. We all pricked up our ears, and Ji Mingmei looked at him curiously.Qian Er said that he was a businessman who bought cocoons from silkworm farmers in various places and sold them to silk reeling factories in various places.It's just that the business in those years was not easy to do, neither to buy silkworm cocoons nor to sell them after receiving them.

Once he bought a batch of silkworm cocoons, but at that time most of the silk reeling factories in various places closed down, and he couldn't find a buyer for a while.In addition, a local policeman thought he was rich and blackmailed him from time to time, and all kinds of trivial matters made him upset.

At this moment, he got the news that an abandoned silk reeling factory had begun to recruit female workers again, obviously to restart work.Naturally, he was overjoyed when he heard the news, and immediately rushed to the silk reeling factory, wanting to recommend himself to sell silkworm cocoons.Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the silk reeling factory, they found a stranger standing at the door.

As soon as he asked, he said to the convenience that he was the head of the silk reeling factory, and asked him why he came here.As long as the business can be done, it doesn't matter who you do it with, so he opened his mouth to talk about his intentions.The man asked him the price of the silkworm cocoons in detail, and looked at the samples he brought, and he seemed to be very expert. In the end, he didn't invite him in for a sit-down, so he decided to order the goods and asked him to deliver the silkworm cocoons some day.

Qian Er was originally just here to try his luck, but he was overjoyed to actually make this deal.He immediately agreed, and when he returned, he hurriedly mobilized manpower, ready to send the cocoons to the silk reeling factory after packing up.Before sending it, he sent someone to inform the silk reeling factory and asked them to prepare money for receipt of the goods.

But who knows that something unexpected happened at this time. When the sent person came back, he said that the person from the silk reeling factory did not agree to buy the silkworm cocoon, and he did not admit to having seen Qian Er at all, let alone any agreement with him.Qian Eryi became anxious when he heard this, and immediately rushed to the silk reeling factory to inquire.

He went to the silk reeling factory and met the principal, but it was not the one he had seen at the gate before.He felt strange, so he asked to see the person who ordered from him before.Unexpectedly, the principal said that there was no such person at all. Qian Er naturally didn't believe it, thinking that they didn't want the goods anymore, so he evaded it.

If these cocoons could not be sold, it would be an unbearable loss for him, so he begged the master hard, preferring to reduce the price by another [-]%.But the master insisted that he had never placed an order with him, and when he saw that he was entangled, he kicked him out with his hands.

Qian Er was angry and impatient, the cocoon was already in his hands, and there was no one else to take it in a hurry, so no matter what, he could only sell it to the silk reeling factory in front of him.But the principal didn't want to see him anymore, he didn't even open the door for him, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and made up his mind.

His original intention was to sneak in at night and burn the cocoons prepared inside, so that the silk reeling factory ran out of raw materials and could only buy his cocoons.But what he didn't expect was that just as he came in through the wall from the outside of the house, he saw a woman sneaking out of a room.

Qian Er was very surprised, this woman looked like a female worker in a silk reeling factory, but she didn't sleep and walked around the house in the middle of the night, as if she was going to do something shameful.Curious, he followed the woman, wanting to see what she was going to do.The strange thing is that the woman walked around, as if she was not familiar with the house, and walked around for a long time before heading towards the backyard.

After turning a corner, she seemed to be startled by something, and suddenly stopped, covering her mouth with her hands desperately, as if she was afraid that she would cry out.After a while, her whole body slowly softened, and she was about to collapse to the ground. At this moment, the chief who had received him during the day suddenly flashed out from a corner and patted the woman on the shoulder.

The woman was so frightened that she screamed hysterically.Because Qian Er was far away, he couldn't hear what they were talking about, but it seemed that the chief scolded her a few times, and then took her away.Qian Er was extremely curious, he didn't know what happened around the corner just now, which would frighten the woman so much.

He originally wanted to go over to see what happened, but thinking about the sudden appearance of the principal just now, there must be someone watching the night in the house, so he didn't dare to go there easily.After cats in a corner for a while, the boss who left just now reappeared, he sighed in his heart, it seems that there is no chance to burn the cocoons here tonight.

In desperation, he had no choice but to leave quietly again.After returning to his residence, he thought that if this batch of silkworm cocoons fell on his hands, it would be far more than a simple injury, and he couldn't help but feel a headache.But there are people watching the night at the silk reeling factory, and he has no chance to burn the cocoons inside, so what to do.While lamenting, he suddenly thought of the scene he saw in the house just now.

The female worker obviously saw something, so she was so frightened.He was thinking about a sudden movement in his heart, the principal also appeared there, could the incident at the corner be related to the principal?If the boss was doing something shady there, and the female worker happened to see it, that's why she was so terrified, which makes sense.

Thinking of this, he immediately became very excited. If this guess is true, then as long as he masters this secret, wouldn't he be able to force the silk reeling factory to buy his silkworm cocoons?
In order to be able to get rid of these cocoons, he gritted his teeth and planned to go to that house to explore the secrets the next night.But he knew that there were night watchmen inside, so he went there late the next day, after the ugly time.Because this is the most difficult time for people, the patrol will relax a lot.

When he jumped from the wall and fell into the house, he didn't see anyone, so he groped his way to the backyard.There is a huge mulberry tree in the backyard, the branches are like silver hooks painted on iron, and the word "ghostly" is written in the middle of the night.He was a little nervous, and he took a few breaths to calm himself down, and then walked under the mulberry tree.

There are traces of being dug under the mulberry tree. Although it is well concealed, Qian Er can still see it at a glance.He took out the shovel that he brought with him and began to dig the soil. After a while, he found two holes under the tree, each with a person buried in it.Strangely, one of them was covered with a thick layer of silk, like a cocoon.The other person was the female worker he saw last night.

There was indeed a problem with that principal.Qian Er thought to himself, so it turned out that the female worker was so frightened because she saw him murder and bury his body last night.Presumably the master later killed the female worker and buried her here.Perhaps not long ago tonight, he was still digging a hole here.

Qian Er felt happy when he thought that he had caught the handle of the silk reeling factory.But after thinking about it, I suddenly became a little startled, this silk reeling factory is so disregarding of human life, if I rush to the door to threaten, I don't know if it will arouse their killing intent.Thinking of this, he didn't dare to stay any longer, he hurriedly covered the soil as it was, and fled out of the house in a hurry.
