Chapter 192 A First Exploration of the Diaolou
"Don't worry, they are all well-known corpse stitchers in the industry. Not to mention just moving the corpse to another place, even if the whole body is broken into several large pieces, they can also sew it up so that no one can see the difference."
Xiao Zhang contacted the local underground forces overnight. At this moment, the body has been wrapped in a garbage bag. It should appear neatly at the door of a police station without anyone else being able to find any traces. .
"As for those security teams, I can't handle them."
"Don't worry." Uncle Gen nodded in gratitude, "They are all from the village and easy to talk to."
"Okay, let's just solve the problem."
Xiao Zhang folded his arms and stared at the ceiling, looking very arrogant.
"You brat, I asked you to do something and you still acted like it?"
Yin Xiu hit him on the head with a bang, then ignored Xiao Zhang's screams and went out the outer door, only to see a villager running in out of breath.
"Yes, there is news, Uncle Gen!"
The man was running very fast, his chest was like a rapidly beating bellows, as if it was about to burst at any moment.
Uncle Gen supported him and said in a deep voice: "What's the rush? Speak slowly!"
The man seemed to have calmed down after being clamped by Uncle Gen's iron arm. After taking a few breaths with his mouth wide open, he said: "In the watchtower, a kid said that he was playing there a few days ago and saw the woman playing with a man. The red-haired ghost guy spoke. ”
"Diaolou?"
Uncle Gen nodded and said: "That place is right on the edge of our village. It is considered a commanding height here. There were officers and soldiers stationed there in the early years, but now it is abandoned."
Yin Xiu and Ma Xiaoyu looked at each other and understood.
After that, they all looked at the person who reported the news, staring at the person with hair all over his body.
"Lead the way!"
When the man heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and stood up.
Xiao Zhang was hesitating whether to follow or show off, but Yin Xiu turned around and said: "The rest of you just stay here to avoid any accidents. The two of us will go and take a look first."
< br>
He nodded as if he was being pardoned: "Brother, sister, don't worry, if anything happens to you two, I will definitely avenge you!"
Ma Xiaoyu glared at him, and then followed Yin Xiu and walked quickly.
"I'm just saying just in case. My sister is really angry. I don't know if she grew up with gunpowder. I guess only my eldest brother can suppress her."
Xiao Zhang sat there, breathing a sigh of relief. Even if he could barely fight and kill him, he also went to fight some kind of vampire. The birthday boy hanged himself. Do you think you have a long life?
Xiao Zhang was full of confidence in the two of them, but then he thought that if his eldest brother and sister really couldn't handle the vampire, wouldn't he become a lamb to be slaughtered if he stayed here?
Also, by keeping him here, does he become a hostage in a sense?
After looking at the unpredictable eyes of the surrounding villagers and Uncle Gen, Xiao Zhang couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead.
……
The watchtower is a round hole-shaped building that looks like a blue-grey ice cream bucket from a distance.
If you look closer, you can see many specially designed openings. It is difficult to find an angle to shoot the shooter from the outside, but from the inside it is easy to fire at the outside.
As long as there is sufficient ammunition, such a watchtower can easily suppress firepower on several surrounding streets. To remove such a stronghold, I am afraid it will take a lot of manpower.
This kind of watchtower is said to be extremely heavy. Not to mention that small-caliber artillery cannot penetrate it. Even those large-caliber artillery will be fine as long as it does not hit directly. The imperial court built many watchtowers of various sizes in coastal areas, and many appeared even in cities, such as this one in Xiguan.
But later people discovered that they couldn't fight in a frontal battle. How could they expect those stragglers to continue to exert their fighting power in the city? Defend the country?
As a result, the watchtowers in these cities were gradually abandoned and became business places for smokers, homeless people, and even street girls.
People often see some smoky things in these places, and sometimes a few wild dogs run in.
But the watchtower in front of Yin Xiu and the others was relatively clean. Apart from some moss growing on the surface and a little dust, there was nothing wrong with it.
Probably because it is close to Hepingli and there are so many people coming and going, it makes this place less smoky.
No wonder those two foreigners went to visit and play under this watchtower like a collector.
Ma Xiaoyu approached the watchtower and took out a palm-sized compass. She saw that the pointer on the compass was spinning crazily, clockwise for a while and counterclockwise for a while.
"Do vampires also affect the operation of the compass?" Yin Xiu asked curiously.
"Any evil spirit is harmful to the natural order, feng shui and earth. It is mutually exclusive with the surrounding environment and will naturally affect the local magnetic field."
Ma Xiaoyu said, putting away the compass and looking at Yin Xiu.
"Why, you don't even know this?"
Yin Xiu scratched his head in embarrassment, "I'm pretty good at fighting ghosts, but as for finding ghosts, I'm not that skilled yet."
"It's nothing."
Ma Xiaoyu's tone surprisingly softened, but then she added: "After all, you are a Taoist priest who doesn't even have a precept or ordination, and has never been given a nun. I can't expect too much from you."
After saying this, the corners of her eyes almost curved into crescents, and her whole face was written with the joy of finally winning a victory.
Yin Xiu was speechless and could only recite "A good man does not fight with a woman" several times in his mind before finally calming down.
Isn't it just teaching? I don’t know but I thought you had become a heavenly master!
When I return to Hong Kong Island, I will immediately go to confer an ordination and spend money to get an ordination. How will you look when the time comes?
While thinking this way, Ma Xiaoyu had already walked to the wooden door.
In wartime, this place should be blocked with stones or other things to prevent enemies from entering, but in peacetime, there is only a locked wooden door.
Standing in front of the wooden door, Ma Xiaoyu turned around.
"Hey, don't scold me in your heart. If you hold back your discomfort like that, just say it to my face if you have anything to say."
"No, no, you are a successful Taoist priest, a regular Taoist priest! As for me, I am just an outsider Taoist priest. I have no ultimatum, so how can I have any objections to you?"
Ma Xiaoyu didn't care about the weird words in Yin Xiu's mouth, nodded and said: "Okay, that's good. My master said that holding anything in your heart will make you bad."
Then she looked at the wooden door again and carefully groped it with her hands.
"Are you ready?"
"Ready to start."
Yin Xiu opened his fingers and a small screwdriver came out of his sleeve.
As soon as he pinched the screwdriver, he saw a flash of white in front of his eyes.
Ma Xiaoyu flew up and kicked the door open.
