The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 943 Evil Spirits Among Men
Do bad guys write the word "bad" on their faces?
Of course not.
In this major case, up to now, it seems that only Ah Gou looks like an utterly despicable bad guy.
Apart from him, Wu Yuzong is refined and cultured, and the middle-aged man in front of him is honest and simple.
They don’t look like bad guys at all.
"What’s your name?" Li Qing stood in front of the middle-aged man and asked in a deep voice.
"Who are you? What do you want?" the middle-aged man shouted nervously, "I’ll tell you, in broad daylight, under the open sky, don’t you go too far."
Li Qing curled his lip, thinking how could someone involved with this dog fighting ring be a good person?
Although this might be too much of an absolute statement.
But if one were to step back and say ninety percent are not good people, that would likely be certain.
People like Ah Gou dare not interact too much with others.
If by chance they were to expose their deeds, that would be big trouble for them.
"Forget it, just take him into custody for now, and we’ll question them all together later," Li Qing said. This old guy is obviously no soft touch; if we really want to get information, Huan Ling Ji will have to take action.
Gao Ming answered and walked over to Li Qing, asking with some confusion, "Team leader, are we catching people or ghosts today?"
"People, the evil spirits inside!" Li Qing said coldly. "By the way, once we get inside, if they have firearms, don’t hesitate, execute them if you have to."
They were equipped with weapons.
Li Qing was concerned about his team members getting hurt.
Ah Gou and his gang were downright brutal criminals, and Li Qing had reason to suspect they might have firearms.
"Understood!" Gao Ming snapped to attention and said in a firm voice.
"Let’s go," Li Qing instructed.
Perhaps because it was their first mission, Gao Ming pulled everyone out, implementing a tight surveillance around the dog fighting ring, so tight that probably only flies could escape.
The group moved to the edge of the dog fighting ring’s wall, with Gao Ming dispatching ten sharp and capable team members to follow Li Qing, ready to break into the ring and apprehend people.
The dog fighting ring, from the outside, looked slightly decrepit, but there was no shortage of surveillance cameras.
With just a glance, Li Qing spotted four or five cameras, almost no blind spots, monitoring around the dog fighting ring.
And in such circumstances, Gao Ming led the team members not only to avoid all surveillance but also to capture one; this was their field force’s discipline, not something just anyone could do.
"There are four people in the dog fighting ring, all concentrated in the house in the northeast corner, one man and three women..." Huan Ling Ji floated next to Li Qing, casually using her Divine Sense to scan while describing the situation inside. But as she spoke, her face suddenly turned cold, and she muttered a curse under her breath.
The location Huan Ling Ji mentioned was just about at the edge of the range covered by Li Qing’s Divine Sense.
What she saw, Li Qing saw too.
The house in the northeast corner seemed to be a temporary dormitory used by these people, and inside it was very messy.
There were secret doors on the walls, hiding two secret rooms.
These secret rooms looked like places specially designed for torture, with bloodstains all over the floor and various torture devices hanging on the walls.
At the moment, in one of the secret rooms, a man and a woman were administering punishment to two young girls who didn’t seem to be over twenty years old. Because the distance was too far, at the limit, Li Qing could not sense what exactly they were saying.
But at this moment, he could make some rough judgments about the situation.
It seemed that the woman was directing the man to assault the two young girls.
Both women, yet the woman showed not a trace of empathy for her own gender, only unrestrained madness in her eyes. She appeared to enjoy the feeling of humiliating them.
"Go in," Li Qing said in a low voice, "Gao Ming, keep an eye on the outside. There should be one or two more people here."
Since he hadn’t interrogated the middle-aged man in the woods, he couldn’t determine what that man’s role was.
The man and woman inside the house were quite intimate with each other, likely Xiao Qiang and Ah Gou’s concubine that Ah Gou had mentioned.
The only ones missing now were the dimwit brothers responsible for transportation.
After Gao Ming acknowledged, Li Qing and Huan Ling Ji led the team over the wall and into the dogfighting arena.
Their speed was extremely fast, and in a few leaps and bounds, they were headed straight for the dormitory in the northeast corner.
With a kick, Li Qing burst into the room, heading straight for the secret chamber.
Before the people inside could react, he was already standing in front of the man. Huan Ling Ji, however, was even quicker. Perhaps because she had suppressed a lot of rage, she slapped the woman against the wall as soon as she entered.
The woman passed out immediately, probably without even realizing what had happened.
Li Qing glanced at the girl tied to the wooden bed and then slapped the man’s face with his hand.
"You..."
The man with the whip, who had a human’s face but a dog’s appearance, only managed to utter that one word before his body was flung in an arc and crashed heavily against the wall.
After a dull thud, he slumped down the wall and collapsed at the base.
He wasn’t tough; just one slap from Li Qing, and he was completely knocked out.
This disappointed Li Qing.
He had been hoping to find someone resilient today, so he could really vent his fury.
"Save me, save me, I don’t want to die..." The girl on the wooden bed looked pitifully at Li Qing and suddenly started to cry out.
Li Qing nodded, "We came to save you, it’s alright now, don’t be nervous."
The girl’s limbs were shackled with iron rings to the bed, and her clothes had been cut to shreds by the man with the braid. Her face and the exposed skin of her belly were scrawled with various obscene words that were completely illegible.
It seemed he was toying with her, and hadn’t progressed to that final step yet.
The girl on the bed was comparatively lucky, having just waited for Li Qing and his team to arrive.
But the girl tied to the wall was rather miserable, her body completely bare and covered with scars, clearly having just undergone inhuman torture.
Huan Ling Ji took a few elixirs from her person and fed them to the girl.
Seeing this, Li Qing took off his overcoat and handed it over.
"I’ll take the girls out first. Take your time dealing with these two, especially this woman. You might as well let her taste what it feels like," Huan Ling Ji said coldly, glancing at Ah Gou’s concubine slumped against the wall. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
Li Qing curled his lips, "Don’t be like that, I might have overflowing compassion, but I’m not desperate enough to stoop to that level."
"I meant for you to deal with her, not in that way," Huan Ling Ji said, "Such inhuman creatures don’t deserve just a trial; I can’t swallow this injustice."
"Who could swallow it? You take care of the two of them; I’ll handle this," Li Qing nodded.
He was willing to sacrifice two more healing elixirs, wanting to visit upon these two a taste of their own medicine, considering these dogs had even prepared two torture chambers for their vile activities.
