This is the kitchen of a dark store.
A pile of minced meat, a cage of buns.
Outside sits their next prey.
A weak, dark-faced customer.
As the waiter brought the buns to the customer.
He saw a crescent on the man's forehead.
He didn't know that this man was the famous Pao Zheng.
The waiter poured a glass of wine for Pao Zheng.
But then he heard Pao Zheng ask him to drink first.
He only saw that the abacus in the store had accumulated a layer of dust, but the tables and chairs were clean.
But the tables and chairs were neatly polished.
He had never done any accounting, but he was soliciting customers.
Only those who kill and take money would do so.
At that moment several strong men came out of the kitchen one by one.
They looked like they wanted to use violence.
I knew you weren't cut out for business the moment I walked in the door.
I didn't even ask how many customers were there.
The door was pushed open.
Enter the very Zhanzhao guards.
Next, it goes without saying that a bunch of villains were killed by Zhan Zhao.
This dark store is just the tip of the iceberg.
This is a place full of evil.
The name is Public Security County, but there is never any peace.
Over the years, strange cases have occurred.
Many young women have disappeared.
Recently, there are rumors of dead people coming back to life and killing people with their skins.
This is also the place where Bao Zheng grew up.
He studied with a famous doctor here.
Later he left his hometown to join the imperial examinations.
After a few decades, he came back.
He came back after several decades.
The place was in a state of ruin and decay.
Even Pao's famous doctor, who had been helping people all his life.
He was recently murdered.
Before the burial, his body disappeared.
and a grieving disciple.
Both of them were Pao's childhood friends.
Both of them were Pao's childhood friends, and their faces were all weathered after a long time.
They exchanged pleasantries and went to sleep.
That night, Pao was awakened by a thunderstorm.
He opened his eyes with a start.
When he opened his eyes, he saw his master standing by his bed.
He saw his master standing beside his bed, raising his axe to chop himself to death.
Pao was so scared that he rolled out of bed.
When Zhan Zhao arrived, his master had disappeared.
When Zhan Zhao arrived, his master had already disappeared.
Pao Zheng had to investigate the case first.
He went to the city morgue.
He found a corpse whose face had been recently peeled off.
After a quick examination, he found out that
He found that the man had been hacked to death with an axe.
On his way to investigate the case.
He was obstructed by the local magistrate.
The governor tried to cover up the truth.
The people of Gong'an County were poor.
But the magistrate had a big head and big ears, and he was dressed as a king.
Pao Zheng could see at once that he had a ghost.
But on that very night.
The magistrate died in his home.
Again, his face was peeled off.
The matter was even more confusing.
But Pao had an idea.
He examined the dirt composition of the murderer's footprints.
He found alum.
He found alum, which means the clay probably came from the mine.
He put the clay into the tea.
The surface of the water floated a bit of oil.
Pao judged from this.
The place where the clay came from.
Pao judged from this that there might be a rotten household buried in the place where the clay came from.
Hearing this,
Zhan Zhao vomited a few times.
Next, he led his men to follow Lord Bao's orders.
Search for alum deposits in a 30-mile radius.
Lord Bao said so.
If the forest is lush and vegetated.
Then the likelihood of the soil containing minerals is very low.
If the mountains and rivers are dry.
Then there may be mineral deposits upstream.
If the hilly terrain is withered.
Then there is a high probability of mineral deposits nearby.
Zhanzhao soon found a mysterious mine cave that was hidden.
He went in and took a look.
He went in and found the remains of Master Bao Zheng.
The old man's face had been peeled off.
The old man's face had been peeled off and nailed to a wooden frame.
As if he was being tortured.
And the cave was full of women's bones.
It seems that all the missing women in Public Security County for 14 years are here.
Looking at this scene.
Pao Zheng recalled
14 years ago, there was another disaster.
At that time, there was a serious plague in Public Security County.
Many people died.
His master did his best to help people.
His master tried his best to help people, but his mother was infected.
What's worse, the fearful people grabbed the infected people and burned them.
They burned them all to death.
Among them were weak women and children.
No matter how much the master and he pleaded for mercy.
No matter how much the master and he pleaded, they were not forgiven.
After this incident.
Pao Zheng decided to give up medicine and become a professional.
It was better to cure people's diseases than to cure their hearts.
And now he is keenly aware that
The two plagues 14 years apart are somehow related.
Pao found a delicate knife in the mine.
It seems that this is the murderer's weapon to cut human skin.
Pao ordered people to search for blacksmiths all over the county.
Soon Zhan Zhao reported that
The only blacksmith who can make this kind of excellent iron tools
Pao Zheng ordered a search for a blacksmith in the county.
Pao Zheng had a very good memory.
Pao Zheng's memory was so strong that he immediately thought of the records of missing women in the city.
One of the reported cases was Zhou Peide.
This man was a serious suspect.
But at that moment, a magistrate reported that
Zhou Pei De had already been imprisoned.
It turns out that at that time.
Zhou Peide's daughter was missing.
He was framed by a corrupt magistrate and put in jail.
He was framed by the corrupt magistrate and put in jail.
Pao Zheng found Zhou Peide in prison.
He was already crazy.
Pao Zheng handed him a knife.
He handed him the knife, but he just chattered and threw it to the side.
At that time, Pao Zheng saw that
The knife was stripped of its handle.
The word "Jufeng" was written on the iron handle.
In other words, the murderer was a member of Jufeng Medical Center! In other words, the murderer was a member of the Jufeng Medical School!
The murderer was the sidekick of the famous doctor.
They rushed all the way to the clinic.
They saw the famous doctor's disciple knocking out his daughter.
He is indeed the murderer! The murderer is indeed the murderer!
The doctor's apprentice was soon beaten by Zhan Zhao.
He was tied up.
He confessed to all the crimes with a cold smile.
It turned out that he was the child who survived the fire more than ten years ago.
The child who survived the fire.
After he was saved by his master.
After being saved by his master, he developed a strong hatred for the mob that set the fire.
For 14 years.
For 14 years, he hunted and killed the mob's daughters.
The reason why he killed Master.
Because the master wanted to stop his revenge.
But after the doctor's confession.
Pao still couldn't figure it out.
This man had a motive.
But why did he want to skin people? But...
Although he wanted to kill the master to silence him.
But why did he nail the master to a wooden frame?
to make him look like a sinner?
My intuition tells Pao Zheng that the truth is not yet known.
The story goes back to 14 years ago.
The plague.
The most insidious virus of the plague.
It is often hard to notice.
It makes the heart sick.
It was fear.
Fear makes these healthy people
Grabbed the infected.
They set fire to them.
The famous doctor who had been doing his best to save people.
He could only watch his wife cry out in the fire.
He found his wife and a disciple alive.
He found that his wife and a disciple were not dead, but badly burned.
So he hid them.
Unfortunately, his wife's entire face was burned and destroyed.
She was in so much pain.
She became crazy.
The disciple's heart was blackened, too.
He went around the city hunting young women.
First, to punish their mob parents.
He went around the city killing young women to punish their mob parents, and to find human face implants for his wife.
That's why he peeled off their skins.
He even colluded with the master magistrate
He even colluded with the master governor to get them to condone his evil deeds.
Among his victims.
One of his victims was the father of a girl.
He swore to avenge his daughter's death.
When the father found out the truth, he
The father found out the truth and began to slaughter each of the people involved.
including the governor.
including a famous doctor.
And he took the skin off their faces in return.
This new murderer.
The new murderer was Zhou Peide, a blacksmith who had been in prison.
He was imprisoned for his crimes.
In fact, in order to get rid of the suspicion of martial arts, he trained hard.
Whenever it rained heavily, he left his cell and went out to kill.
The truth is revealed.
So many murders in the city.
The truth is that there are so many murders in the city, but they are actually two criminals.
That night, when the doctor was locked up in the prison.
The blacksmith broke free from his chains again.
The blacksmith once again broke the chains and approached the doctor.
But the doctor unveiled his disguise.
But when he unveiled his disguise, he turned out to be Zhan Zhao.
It turned out that Pao Zheng had already guessed that the blacksmith was unusual.
He sent Zhan Zhao here on purpose to seduce him to reveal his true face.
But when Pao Zheng came to the prison.
But when Bao Zheng came to the prison, he only saw the seriously injured Zhan Zhao.
And the blacksmith was nowhere to be found.
On the other hand
On the other hand, the doctor's daughter was the one who was in the prison.
It turns out that the doctor's daughter is also with him.
Now she has to take the doctor and his mother to escape.
Unfortunately, their paths crossed.
They ran into an aggressive blacksmith.
The blacksmith killed her mother.
The blacksmith killed her mother and killed the healer.
I should have burned you 14 years ago.
A vengeance for a vengeance.
And the hatred grew bigger and bigger.
The blacksmith was not yet satisfied.
He wanted to burn the doctor's daughter to death.
Even though Bao Zheng finally arrived.
Even though Bao Zheng finally arrived and killed the blacksmith with Zhan Zhao
But he couldn't save the doctor's daughter.
She died.
Perhaps when she decided to abandon her righteousness and help the murderer
Perhaps when she decided to abandon her righteousness and help the murderer, who was responsible for countless lives, to escape.
Her fate was sealed.
In the end, the disheartened Bao Zheng
The final heartbroken Bao Zheng buried his master's family.
The truth is too heavy.
The truth is too heavy for him to find out, he just felt so tired and exhausted.
Zhan Zhao beside him said one thing.
A thousand years of darkness, a light is clear.
So Pao Qingtian and Zhan Zhao re-mounted their horses and
The dust went away.
People's hearts are always burning with fire.
Some people are consumed by the fire and become devils.
There are also people who gather the fire and
Become a bright light.
(End)
