Chapter 809 Maybe They Were Just Passing By...
The policemen were stunned.
Looking at the group of over 30 people, they did not dare to suppress them at all. They could only try to persuade them in a nice manner.
One of the police said, “It’s legal for them to set up a cultivation base here. They have the right to use this land and they have all the required certificates. Don’t make trouble here, okay?”
“We don’t care. We grew up here, so this is our land. Since he has taken our land, we need to seek justice!”
The leader completely ignored the police’s persuasion and simply demanded, “If you want to use our land, you must pay us rent!”
“Yes, pay us rent.”
“You must pay us rent.”
“If you don’t give me the rent, then leave.”
The group of people shouted, one after another.
All of them looked ferocious, which intimidated the people.
The police continued to try and convince them.
But these people did not listen at all.
Under these circumstances, the police did not dare to use any force.
There were only a few of them. Three policemen were up against over 30 people. What could they do if they actually had a conflict? Should they take out their guns? These thugs would not even give them a chance to pull out their guns.
Seeing that the police could not stop the thugs, the people working in the cultivation base were all anxious.
“I...” He Xue stepped forward as if she wanted to stand up and argue with these thugs.
To her surprise, just as she was about to say something, Fang Qiu reached out and stopped her.
He Xue was stunned.
In her opinion, Fang Qiu was still young, so he would not have enough experience to deal with this kind of issue, nor did he have the ability to handle it. Therefore, she wanted to stand up. But Fang Qiu baffled her when he prevented her from doing it.
“I’ll give you one last chance. Leave.”
Fang Qiu stopped He Xue and said in a cold tone.
“Leave?” The leader sneered disdainfully and said, “This land belongs to us. Why should we let you occupy it? If you want us to leave, fine. We’ll go after we get the money.”
“Okay, that’s your choice.” Fang Qiu nodded and dialed another number.
“Boom, boom...” Not long afterward, the roar of engines could be heard.
Everyone turned to look in the direction where the sounds were coming from.
They saw several large military trucks driving quickly toward them, which were full of soldiers.
Those thugs were scared out of their wits.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThey were not afraid of the police, but soldiers were different. No one dared to provoke the soldiers!
As the military vehicles arrived, those thugs exchanged glances and quickly put down the weapons in their hands and hid them beside their feet.
But at this moment, all the military vehicles suddenly stopped.
Then, all the armed soldiers jumped down from the vehicles.
He Xue, Zhao Shanlin, Fang Qiu’s three roommates and the other employees in the cultivation base were dumbfounded.
All of them stared at Fang Qiu in shock.
“What the f*ck, you can call an army over?”
Everyone was stunned by this scene.
But no one made a sound. They merely watched what was happening in front of them.
After the soldiers got out of the trucks, they all stood upright and surrounded the group of over 30 local thugs.
These soldiers did not know why they were here. Anyway, the order they received was to leave after solving this problem without too much talk. The only thing they were aware of was the need to protect this place.
A captain of the army shouted, “This is a military restricted area. Why are you causing trouble here?”
As soon as he said that, all the thugs trembled in fright and were about to run away.
“Run?” ???????????????????????????? ????o????
“I’ll shoot if you don’t stop!”
“Bang!”
Even as he spoke, the captain shot directly at the sky.
Gunshots rang out.
All the thugs who were running were so scared that all of them immediately squatted on the ground. All of them held their heads and did not even dare to stand up straight.
“Take them away,” The captain shouted.
The soldiers immediately took action. They escorted all the thugs into the trucks and then drove away.
Since they came and left, none of these soldiers greeted Fang Qiu during the whole process. On the one hand, it was because Fang Qiu was wearing a mask. On the other hand, it was because Fang Qiu was not in John Doe’s guise, so they did not recognize him at all.
After they left, everyone’s eyes were fixed on Fang Qiu.
“Damn, Fang! You’re so awesome. Did you ask those soldiers to come here?”
Zhou Xiaotian grabbed Fang Qiu’s arm in shock and asked, “Be honest, are you the second generation of the army? Is your father the chief?”
“If my father worked for the army, will I need to run all the way from Jiangjing to this waste place to cultivate?”
Fang Qiu pursed his lips and said, “You know that there is a troop stationed nearby. Maybe they were merely passing by and wanted to help...”
All the people were speechless.
It was obvious that it was Fang Qiu who made a call and after that these soldiers came. How could it be that they were just passing by at this moment?
Sun Hao said disdainfully, “Fang, to be honest, I’ll be a fool if I believe you!”
“It’s possible.” Fang Qiu gave a wry smile and said, “Haven’t you heard of a song?”
“Let’s shout when we see injustice. When it’s time to help people, we should help them. Soldiers and civilians are the same. When they see someone making trouble here and that civilians are being bullied, they will definitely help us. Isn’t it reasonable?” Fang Qiu added.
When he finished speaking, everyone rolled their eyes, ignored him and turned to leave.
Standing beside them after seeing such a big commotion, the policemen were also astonished. The way they looked at Fang Qiu was entirely different. They quickly turned around and left.
They had clearly heard what the military officer said earlier.
This place was a military restricted area!
They could not interfere in the business here anymore.
No sooner had the police left, then He Xue turned her head and her gaze swept across the scattered crowd. Then, she looked at Fang Qiu thoughtfully and said, “I didn’t expect you to have such a strong background.”
After that, she turned around and left.
“Hey, I’ve told you guys. They don’t even know me. Didn’t you see that? Those soldiers just ignored me.”
Fang Qiu continued to argue, but unfortunately, everyone had gone off and no one listened to him at all.
“Beep, beep, beep...”
In the afternoon, while Fang Qiu was reading the news in his office, his cell phone rang.
It was a call from Li Ji.
“Hello?” Fang Qiu answered the phone.
“We’ve given those who tried to make trouble at your place a long lecture and then let them go.”
Li Ji’s voice was heard. “However, from now on, you need to have a new identity. You heard in the morning that this area has been classified as a military restricted area, but of course, it is still your land. But there might be some problems when your land is in the military restricted area, so you must have an appropriate identity.”
“Have you decided?” Fang Qiu asked.
“Yes.” Li Ji nodded and said, “As Fang Qiu, your identity will be the person who works with the army to develop medicine.”
“Okay.” Fang Qiu nodded.
This identity was great. It could be a perfect cover up for everything.
“By the way.” When Li Ji was about to hang up, he suddenly paused and said, “In fact, those people are pathetic. They are all patients who suffer from arsenic poisoning. In addition, they have no money and no hope of survival, so they go everywhere to make trouble.”
“Arsenic poisoning?” Fang Qiu raised his eyebrows.
He knew what it was like to have arsenic poisoning because he had read relevant articles on that before.
Arsenic was one of the metalloids that existed widely in nature in various forms. Among them, arsenic trioxide was known as Pishuang which was one of the oldest poisons. It was a colorless and odorless powder with a white frost-like appearance.
“Yeah.” Li Ji nodded.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Well...” Fang Qiu pondered for a moment and said, “Give me an address. I’ll go and visit them tomorrow and see if I can cure it. But it might be really difficult in this case.”
Li Ji asked with a smile, “Render good for evil?”
..
“It’s a doctor’s duty,” Fang Qiu replied.
“Okay, I’ll send the address to your phone.” Li Ji answered, hung up and sent the address to Fang Qiu.
Fang Qiu took a look.
Then he put his phone into his pocket, ready to pay them a visit tomorrow.
“Beep, beep, beep...”
However, the next morning, Li Ji called again.
Fang Qiu answered the phone.
“The people you met yesterday are all dead.” Li Ji’s solemn and repressed voice sounded on the phone. He said, “Not only them, but all the people in their village are dead as well. It was a complete massacre!”
“What!!!” Fang Qiu was nonplussed.
Li Ji said, “There are very few people who have the ability to kill all of them secretly. Even if there are people who are capable of doing this, they should have no grievances with people in that village.”
“Are you suspecting me?” When he heard this, Fang Qiu was stunned.
He had the ability and all the people resented him greatly.
“To be honest, you’re the most likely suspect.” Li Ji gave a wry smile and said, “But we believe that you are not one who would do such an evil thing.”
“Then what are you going to do?”
“Have you decided?” Fang Qiu asked.
“The current situation is that it’s not appropriate for the army to intervene in this matter, so I hope you can investigate it. After learning about it, we went to the scene and barricaded the place well. Now that we have withdrawn, you can go in and check it out. After all, you have learned how to do scouting work from the army.”
“Okay, I’m on it.” Fang Qiu nodded and said, “But I didn’t kill them!”
After that, Fang Qiu hung up. Without using any disguise, he drove the car directly to the address sent by Li Ji yesterday.
The village was called the Rock Sand Village.
It was a small sand city, which was only about ten kilometers away from the cultivation base.
Soon, Fang Qiu reached Rock Sand Village.
From afar, he could see that the village was surrounded by one-meter-high wind-blocking walls made of rocks. There were many houses built with large stones.
From a distance, Fang Qiu saw that there were corpses lying everywhere in the village.
The yellow sand on the ground occasionally glowed blood red and looked quite bloody.
Coming closer, Fang Qiu took a careful look and found that these corpses were indeed the ones of the people he met yesterday. Judging from the wounds on these people’s bodies, they had been killed in one move. The dead did not suffer any pain and they even died before they could react.
Obviously, it was an expert who did this!
As he walked into the village, Fang Qiu’s face suddenly turned pale.
He saw the bodies of several children. The person who did it did not even spare the children. He did not exclude any living creature in the village, including horses, camels and dogs!
