#267 - Chapter 267 The Culprit

Good riddance!

That village chief's family deserved to die!

And these villagers too. Qi Jing really wanted to slaughter all the surrounding villagers with his sword.

But they were just informants; the most guilty person was already dead.

What should he do?

The inexperienced Qi Jing encountered such an infuriating situation for the first time.

He didn't know what he should do now.

But then he heard something that made him even angrier.

"For the past month, some of these villagers have been coming to me every night..."

"Damn it, who? I'm going to kill them!"

Qi Jing couldn't hold back when he heard this. Those people should still be alive, right? They couldn't all be dead, could they?

"Wait a moment, let me finish asking before you act."

Tao Xin's law enforcement recorder had been running the whole time. She continued to ask, "What is your relationship to this case?"

The disheveled woman had already run out of tears and was no longer sobbing.

She slowly said:

"I am a participant. I lured them into killing that family of beasts."

Tao Xin continued to ask:

"Who is the murderer?"

"It's a swarm of mosquitoes."

"How did you lure them?"

"One evening, when I was breastfeeding my child, I discovered that some mosquitoes really liked the mixture of milk and blood, and I didn't feel any pain when they bit me.

I even watched them suck a lot of blood from me, and then I knew that they were the culprits behind the bloodsucking over the past two years.

I found that every night was when these mosquitoes came out in large numbers.

So, at night, I sprinkled the milk-blood mixture on that family of beasts, attracting a large swarm of mosquitoes that sucked them dry."

Hearing this, they finally knew what was causing anemia in the entire village.

It turned out to be a swarm of mosquitoes.

Tao Xin asked:

"Why can they suck a person dry?"

"They have a mosquito leader, a mosquito bigger than a pillow, that collects all the blood sucked by the other mosquitoes into its own mouth."

That night, she witnessed the swarm of mosquitoes sucking the village chief's family dry and discovered the secret of these mosquitoes.

The mosquito king was like a landlord, ordering the little mosquitoes to suck blood and then taking the blood they sucked.

"That big mosquito must have a superpower. It can make its subordinates keep sucking and suck everything into its belly."

It was actually a mosquito with superpowers!

But this matter could be put aside for now. They needed to deal with the case of the abducted woman first.

Qi Jing said a few words in Tan Zuoyin's ear, and then she asked the villagers:

"Which of you violated this woman?"

They didn't say anything.

Then Tan Zuoyin and Tao Xin exchanged glances and "asked their hearts" one by one.

It took a lot of time to ask all the men and ferret out those beasts hiding in the crowd.

In fact, all the villagers here were at fault; they were all accomplices who stood by and watched coldly.

But what could they do?

They couldn't kill them all, could they? There were still some innocent children and babies here. They couldn't let them survive alone in these deep mountains.

Besides, the crimes they committed weren't punishable by death.

At the same time, the moon was already very large, and the buzzing of the mosquitoes quietly began.

Tan Zuoyin said, "Let's find that superpowered mosquito first."

"I'll do it."

Qi Jing focused his Observation Haki into a ten-degree fan shape, which greatly increased the sensing distance while reducing the sensing width.

He turned around and sure enough, he found a life form with an aura comparable to a Tibetan Mastiff near a pool of water a kilometer away, with a striped body, six legs, and wings.

That was it.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Qi Jing spread his scaled demon wings and flew towards it.

From afar, he saw a large number of tiny mosquitoes forming a "tornado" around the mosquito, constantly flying and circling.

In addition to its blood-controlling ability, it seemed that it could also control other mosquitoes. He didn't know how it obtained its superpowers.

Killing it seemed like a bit of a waste. He should catch it.

Qi Jing took out a dimensional pocket from his space and quickly put the mosquito inside with lightning speed.

As for the other mosquitoes, he didn't care about them.

Firstly, because the vitality of these mosquitoes was as weak as other ordinary mosquitoes, or even worse; secondly, without the jurisdiction of the superpowered mosquito king, these mosquitoes were just scattered soldiers and could not suck people dry to the point of anemia; thirdly, these mosquitoes were rare animals belonging to other countries, and killing them would be destroying the diversity of the ecological environment.

After putting the dimensional pocket into his space, Qi Jing slowly flew back to the village.

When he returned to the village, he found that all the people who had been ferreted out earlier were lying on the ground, surrounded by blood, each holding a red heart in their hands.

The surrounding villagers knelt on the ground like they were worshiping gods, chanting words.

"After they saw you leave, they wanted to attack me together. I had no choice but to fight back."

Tao Xin raised her law enforcement recorder and shook it:

"Because I was very nervous at the time, I could only use my superpower to defend myself, but my superpower is a guaranteed kill when used, so it ended up like this."

Tan Zuoyin also said:

"My superpower has no attack power, and I was also frightened by them, so I could only let Tao Xin take action."

"Kabi~"

Kabi also indicated that he was playing a video game and didn't have time to take action.

Seeing this scene, Qi Jing breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"It's all my fault. I forgot to protect your safety. Next time, I will protect you closely and never let you be exposed to danger again."

Tao Xin nodded gently, helped the poor woman up, and said:

"Now that things are over, let's leave first."

"Yes, let's go."

Tan Zuoyin said to the new village chief who was still kneeling on the ground that the anemia problem had been resolved, and then the three of them helped the woman leave.

She looked back at the village entrance where she had been imprisoned for several years and suddenly knelt down to Qi Jing and the others:

"Thank you, thank you for rescuing me, thank you for helping me kill that group of beasts."

Tao Xin quickly helped her up:

"Don't say that, we were just acting in self-defense, forced to."

Qi Jing nodded: "Yes, self-defense."

"Thank you, thank you, thank you..."

As she spoke, she began to cry.

After so many years, she had finally escaped this devil's den. The days of being alone and dazed in a dark room, the days of being beaten and scolded, were finally over.

After crying for a while, she fell asleep peacefully in the car.

The car was very quiet, not as lively as when they had come.

After a while, Tan Zuoyin said:

"I just found her on the missing persons list. She disappeared here five years ago."

She looked at the poor woman leaning on her shoulder and sighed.

"Fortunately, her partner is still persistently looking for her. He contacted the local police officers two days ago."

"I hope she can return to her original happy life."
