Chapter 368 The Scapegoat
Chen Yang was walking out from inside when he overheard the conversation between Qin Jianghe and Qin Dahhu.
Upon hearing Qin Jianghe’s words, Chen Yang’s mind immediately pieced things together.
The reason the amusement park in Donghuang Village was sealed off, and the reason over a dozen girls had gone missing there, their whereabouts unknown and their bodies unfound, must have been Qin Jianghe’s doing.
Qin Jianghe was a local. Even with all the safety measures in the amusement park, if Qin Jianghe wanted to abduct those girls, he certainly could have.
Furthermore, from what he heard now, it was likely that Qin Jianghe had killed those girls at the behest of the Huang Pipijing.
With a loud “bang,” Chen Yang kicked open the door in front of him. Beyond it was the small hut where Qin Jianghe had been praying.
Hearing the door being kicked open from inside, both Qin Jianghe and Qin Dahhu prostrated themselves on the ground, thinking the Huang Pipijing was about to emerge.
At this moment, Chen Yang walked out, carrying the corpse of the Huang Pipijing. Qin Jianghe, kneeling on the ground, repeatedly kowtowed, saying, “Great Immortal Huang, Great Immortal Huang, I beg you, as long as you kill that bastard and abduct those women, my son and I will offer you anything.”
Chen Yang scoffed upon hearing this and said, “Is that so?”
Qin Jianghe’s voice trembled as he looked up. When he saw Chen Yang walking out, he scrambled to his feet and angrily accused Chen Yang, shouting, “You… How did you get out from Great Immortal Huang’s place? What were you doing inside?”
Then, Qin Jianghe’s gaze shifted downwards. He suddenly saw that in Chen Yang’s hand was the colossal corpse of the Huang Pipijing.
Witnessing this, Qin Jianghe collapsed onto the ground with a thud. The Huang Pipijing, whom he regarded as an immortal being, was now being held by Chen Yang, dead.
How could this be possible? How could a human kill a monster that had achieved sentience?
Chen Yang walked towards Qin Jianghe, a cold sneer on his lips. He raised his foot and with a “bang,” stomped directly onto Qin Jianghe’s knee.
With a crisp crack, Qin Jianghe’s left leg instantly fractured completely.
Chen Yang did not stop. He raised his foot and stomped on Qin Jianghe’s right leg again. With a series of “crack, crack, crack” sounds, Qin Jianghe’s leg bones were utterly shattered.
Qin Jianghe lay on the ground, screaming and howling in pain, but Chen Yang paid no heed. He raised his foot and stomped on Qin Jianghe’s shoulder. More “crack, crack” sounds ensued, and soon Qin Jianghe’s arms were also completely shattered.
And this time, Chen Yang showed no mercy. He pressed down inch by inch, meaning that Qin Jianghe’s legs and hands were completely broken, fractured, and pulverized, making them impossible to mend.
Qin Jianghe roared on the ground before, with a final “crack,” he fainted dead away.
Beside him, Qin Dahhu, seeing Chen Yang emerge and then witnessing him brutally stomp his father into unconsciousness, was even more terrified. His fear of Chen Yang was now extreme.
Qin Dahhu scrambled to his feet, intending to flee. Of course, Chen Yang would not let Qin Dahhu escape. He kicked out, then raised his leg. Another series of crisp “crackle, crackle” sounds rang out, and the next moment, Qin Dahhu’s legs were also completely fractured.
Qin Dahhu lay on the ground, twisting and convulsing, foam spewing from his mouth, before he too fainted dead away.
Chen Yang glanced at the two of them, then dragged the massive corpse of the Huang Pipijing away.
Leaving Qin Jianghe’s house, Chen Yang considered going to find Meng Qingxue and urging her to leave.
But then, the sound of police sirens echoed from a distance.
Chen Yang was startled by the sound of the police car, surprised that the constables had arrived so quickly.
Carrying the corpse of the Huang Pipijing, Chen Yang immediately left Donghuang Village and quickly ran towards the hillside.
At this moment, two police cars, sirens blaring, sped directly towards Donghuang Village. A dozen or so angry constables from the local police station were in the cars.
These men were indeed furious.
They had already finished their shifts and were driving back to town to hand over their duties before heading out to relax and have some fun.
But suddenly, a violent explosion was heard in Donghuang Village. The sound was so loud that the entire village felt like it was shaking.
The entire town had heard the sound.
Then, someone from Donghuang Village called the police, reporting that someone was using explosives to kill people.
Upon hearing this news, the six constables who were about to finish their shifts had no choice but to drive rapidly towards Donghuang Village.
Moreover, they heard that someone was using explosives to kill people, and given the immense power of explosives, it was highly likely that lives had been lost.
Therefore, they immediately notified the Qingzhou City headquarters, urging them to dispatch criminal investigators to Donghuang Village to investigate the matter.
The two police cars sped directly towards the scene of the explosion.
Meanwhile, Meng Qingxue was still hiding behind a rock, waiting.
She had clearly seen Chen Yang jump into that cave. She wondered what kind of monster was inside.
So she waited. If a wild boar or something similar were to emerge, she would have to be prepared to kill it.
But after waiting for a few minutes, nothing emerged. She waited for a few more minutes, and the cave remained perfectly quiet. Instead, two police cars arrived.
Then, six or seven people, holding flashlights, ran quickly towards this area. Meng Qingxue had no choice but to step out.
“Halt! Who are you?” a man immediately stepped forward, preparing to apprehend Meng Qingxue, as she was the closest person to the site of the explosion.
Meng Qingxue looked back at the group, a little annoyed. She said, “Hello, my name is Meng Qingxue. I’m here to hunt.”
Although these men were constables from the town, they had heard of Meng Qingxue’s reputation. They knew there was a rising star in the Qingzhou City headquarters who had quickly risen from an ordinary constable to the second-in-command position.
She was now the Deputy Chief.
To find the idol they admired standing before them, and to find that she was such a beautiful young girl, the men were instantly excited.
“So you’re Lord Meng! Oh my heavens, I never thought I’d actually see the real Lord Meng today.”
“This is too surprising, too unexpected! So Lord Meng, you’re hunting here today! Was that explosion just now also from a grenade you threw?”
“Lord Meng, your actions are always so extraordinary! What are you hunting this time? Are you hunting mountain wolves or wild boars?”
“This area does indeed have too many wild boars. Not only do they often destroy crops, but they sometimes injure people too.”
“Last year, someone even died here. Lord Meng, you must be eliminating pests for the people, right?”
A group of men surrounded Meng Qingxue, showering her with praise. Meng Qingxue waved her hand helplessly. She pointed towards the cave in front of them and said, “I’m going to take a look inside that cave.”
At this point, Meng Qingxue dared not mention Chen Yang’s name, as using such powerful explosives was illegal.
Upon hearing this, the local constables immediately bowed and scraped, accompanying Meng Qingxue into the cave.
