Western District Crematorium.
Su Jingxing partnered with Kong Dabao and started the day’s work of moving corpses.
Of course, there were only a few corpses early in the morning. The two of them quickly took care of them.
Finding a corner, Kong Dabao pulled out his phone and asked Su Jingxing to play games with him.
Su Jingxing was about to refuse when a commotion started in the front yard.
“Did something happen again?” Kong Dabao, who was holding his phone, looked up.
“I’ll go take a look.” Su Jingxing took the opportunity to leave and quickly strode to the front yard.
“Let’s go together,” Kong Dabao said, catching up from behind.
When the two of them arrived at the front yard, what they saw was not a scene of people quarreling or fighting, but a group of people surrounding the corpse transportation truck that had just returned from collecting a corpse. They were crying out in alarm.
There were both crematorium employees and relatives who had come to send their loved ones off.
Kong Dabao grabbed a familiar person and asked curiously, “What’s going on? Big Long, what’s going on?”
“Ouyang Qinhu! The corpse in the truck is Ouyang Qinhu!” Big Long said agitatedly.
“Ouyang Qinhu?” Kong Dabao was taken aback. “Are you talking about the Black Tiger Gang’s head, the fifth-grade expert, Ouyang Qinhu?”
“Who else could it be?” Big Long rubbed his hands and said with puzzling excitement, “Tsk tsk tsk, Ouyang Qinhu is dead. An expert like him is actually dead!”
[Corpse discovered. Would you like to extract it?]
“Yes!”
“He’s dead? How did he die?” Su Jingxing asked.
“He was killed in three moves!”
Big Long answered beamingly, “Early in the morning, a swordsman named Nie Renchou charged into the Black Tiger Gang’s headquarters and said he wanted to see Ouyang Qinhu. When Ouyang Qinhu rushed to the headquarters, Nie Renchou immediately pulled out his sword and challenged him. In the end, Ouyang Qinhu only managed to block two attacks before he was killed by Nie Renchou!”
“It was said that the scene was extremely shocking. Before anyone got a clear look of what was going on, Ouyang Qinhu collapsed to the ground with a bloody line on neck. His eyes were wide open!”
“This…” Kong Dabao’s eyes widened.” Are you serious? ”
“Do you think I would lie to you?” Big Long pointed to the corpse transportation truck and raised his voice. “The corpse has already been transported back, how could it be fake?”
Right then, the person who went to get a trolley was back. They opened the back door of the truck and moved the corpse out onto the trolley.
“Old Ma, open the bag and let us take a look.”
“That’s right, we have to confirm whether it is Ouyang Qinhu or not.”
“Open the bag! Open the bag!”
“…”
The watching crowd cheered and asked the two corpse collectors to open the body bag.
“This… isn’t good, is it?” Old Ma hesitated.
“What’s wrong with that?” Big Long rushed over and pulled open the zip on the body bag, revealing a familiar face.
Black Tiger Gang’s head, a fifth-grade expert, Ouyang Qinhu!
“Holy f*ck! It’s really Ouyang Qinhu! It’s really Ouyang Qinhu!”
Kong Dabao cried out in disbelief, “Ouyang Qinhu was killed so easily. Is that Nie Renchou a fourth-grade powerhouse?”
“I don’t know.”
Big Long’s face was covered in excitement. “According to the news, Nie Renchou had appeared out of nowhere. No one knows where he came from. They only know that his sword techniques are very powerful. He challenged Ouyang Qinhu and used fatal moves from the start.”
“Heh, no matter how powerful his sword techniques are, if his realm is not high, can he kill Ouyang Qinhu? I don’t believe it. Nie Renchou is at least a sixth-grade!”
“That’s right. If he isn’t a sixth-grade, he won’t even be able to release sword energy, let alone kill.”
“I am very curious. Did Ouyang Qinhua’s enemies hire Nie Renchou?”
“Why don’t you say that Nie Renchou has a grudge with Ouyang Qinhu to begin with?”
“Tsk tsk, now that Ouyang Qinhu is dead, won’t the Black Tiger Gang be finished too?”
“Why would they be? Without Ouyang Qinhu, another person can just come up and take his position. Of course, the greater possibility is that the Black Tiger Gang will split into several smaller gangs.”
“…”
They had seen it with their own eyes and confirmed that the corpse was Ouyang Qinhu.
The crowd was getting more and more excited and the commotion grew louder.
They couldn’t be blamed for making such a big deal out of nothing. After all, an incident where an expert of Ouyang Qinhu’s caliber being killed on the streets did not happen often.
Now that they’d abruptly encountered such a situation, the impact was too great.
Fifth-grade, not sixth-grade, or seventh-grade.
A fifth-grade cultivator was a major figure even in a prefecture city.
An existence of this level was too far away from ordinary people and low-level martial artists.
Not to mention that a few branches of the Black Tiger Gang had successively been annihilated recently. As head of the gang, Ouyang Qinhu was at the peak of his popularity.
Yet, he had suddenly died. And he was killed within three moves.
It was hard not to cause a commotion!
Kong Dabao, Da Long and Old Ma were old employees of the crematorium. However, this was the first time they were seeing and getting involved in the transportation of the corpse of an important figure like Ouyang Qinhu.
Everyone was excited, and it was within reason.
Su Jingxing was the only one who didn’t quite show it. He stood at the side, deep in thought.
To Kong Dabao and Big Long, and the rest, the news of Ouyang Qinhu’s death was shocking.
However, in Su Jingxing’s eyes, there was nothing to be surprised about. Ouyang Qinhu was indeed a fifth-grade martial artist, but the chances of killing him in a surprise attack were very high.
If it had been Su Jingxing, he would have killed Ouyang Qinhu in three moves just like Nie Renchou.
In comparison, Su Jingxing was more concerned about the treasure in Ouyang Qinhu’s hands!
A branch of the Black Tiger Gang had been wiped out because of this treasure.
Ouyang Qinhu’s backer also wanted this treasure.
Now that Ouyang Qinhu was dead, there were too many mysteries hidden behind it.
Who sent Nie Renchou?
An enemy of Ouyang Qinhu? The backer behind him? The faction that wanted to seize the treasure?
Or perhaps, Nie Renchou had killed Ouyang Qinhu in order to snatch the treasure?
There were all kinds of possibilities.
Especially when it had been less than ten minutes since Ouyang Qinhu’s corpse had been transported into the morgue, yet Sun Ye, who shared a backer with Ouyang Qinhu and had links with him behind the scenes, had rushed to the crematorium and charged into the morgue. He chased Su Jingxing, Kong Dabao, and the others out and picked an excuse of examining the body to stay in the morgue alone.
The Chief of Control of Martial Suppression Office Western District Branch personally examining the corpse?
This excuse was really bad.
Kong Dabao, who had been chased out of the room, couldn’t help but deride him inwardly. He was in great disdain.
Su Jingxing only smiled and said nothing.
Others might not know the reason, but Su Jingxing did.
Sun Ye was driven mad by anxiety.
It was only because he was feeling so anxious that he forgot about everything else and acted abnormally.
It didn’t matter if Ouyang Qinhu was dead, but it was extremely important who had taken the treasure from his possession.
This treasure was now in Nie Renchou’s hands?
Or was it that Ouyang Qinhu had been prepared and handed it to Shen Xinlan?
Su Jingxing was curious.
Amidst the commotion, he found an opportunity and took out the card he had extracted from Ouyang Qinhu’s corpse. He held it in his hand and read the information.
Su Jingxing’s eyes lit up.
