Chapter 6 - Chapter 6 The Broken Knife of Jiangbei

 When I heard this, I froze for a full ten seconds, and the black shadow sneered, "What, you don't want to show me what your grandfather taught you?"

 "He didn't teach me anything!" I said.

 "Then how did you find this place?" The dark shadow asked gently.

 I was sweating like a pig, this person was just too smart, instantly recognizing my lie.

 "Hmph, can't see that you're quite capable at a young age." The black shadow's cold curved sword kept roaming around my waist.

 Is he my grandfather's enemy? Why is he testing me? If I could really see it, would he let me go?

 My thoughts were a jumbled mess, in my short seventeen years, how had I ever experienced anything like this? At the moment I just felt my head was a mess, my clothes had long been soaked in cold sweat and were cold against my body.

 "Hurry up, my patience is limited." The black shadow urged.

 I can only begin to check my grandfather's body, I put my index finger on his skin to measure the body temperature, the body temperature is about ten degrees, checked the knuckles, the nails are intact, there are no signs of struggle, and then broke open the eyelids and looked, the eyeballs are not cloudy ...

 When I carefully did these things, I actually gradually calmed down.

 Grandpa's body has no obvious wounds, there is no sign of poisoning, cheeks and even a slight blush, if not for the vital signs have completely disappeared, it is almost like sleeping.

 Could the wound be hidden under the clothes?

 Grandpa, I'm sorry! I chanted in my heart and started to undo my grandfather's clothes, taking off both his top and pants, although my emotions were confused, my reasoning was clear, as I slowly examined the skin and bones on his body.

 But there wasn't even a single wound on his entire body, and his bones weren't broken.

 I put my ear to my grandfather's chest and tapped my hand on the area of his diaphragm, and found no signs of internal bleeding either.

 There were no signs of asphyxiation, no signs of strangulation, no pathological features.

 It was so strange that I couldn't find a cause of death, and for a moment I began to doubt what I had learned, and even wondered if I was a loser.

 Time passed by, my clothes were blown by the cold air in the warehouse and then dampened by cold sweat.

 I reached out and wiped the sweat from my head, and the dark shadow behind me laughed, "What, Song Zhaolin's grandson can't even see the cause of death?"

 "..."

 "Say, what is the cause of death, or I'll just tell you and kill you in the same way I killed your grandfather!" The dark shadow pressed.

 I clenched my fists, knowing I was in for it, and instead became fearless.

 "I don't know!" I screamed.

 "Is that your answer?" The dark shadow said.

 I stood up fiercely, I was going to die anyway, fight, maybe there was still a possibility of escaping.

 Even if I can't beat him, at least I'll know what he looks like before I die, and I'll seek revenge on him even if I turn into a stern ghost!

 He was only half a meter away from me, I frantically turned around and directly punched him, but my fist was instantly clutched tightly by a hand wearing a leather glove.

 I saw clearly, this black shadow was about one meter eight in height, wearing a black trench coat that wrapped itself so tightly that not even an inch of skin was revealed. He wore a hideous ghost mask on his face, grinning like he was laughing, with two green fangs showing from his mouth.

 The eyes hidden in the mask were a dark mass, the reflection that human pupils should have could not be seen, and for a moment I even wondered if he was human or not.

 The black shadow twisted my fist gently, and with a click, I was in pain with tears in my eyes.

 "Courageous!" The black shadow nodded, "Just too stupid to kill you to dirty my hands. Forget it, leave you a little life, when you can one day see how I kill, I'll come back to take your life, remember, I'll always be a nightmare for your Song family!"

 After saying that, he made a strange gesture and made a point towards the center of my eyebrow, I unexpectedly felt dizzy and then fell softly to the ground.

 I was woken up by the ear-piercing sound of sirens, a big hand was constantly patting on my face, when I opened my eyes, there were so many people around me, Officer Sun was squatting in front of me, constantly patting me with his hand. I opened my eyes in a daze, remembering what happened before I passed out, and immediately panicked.

 "Where's my grandfather?"

 Officer Sun sighed with a melancholy face, "Song Yang, your grandfather he has ..."

 Everything that happened last night was true, I didn't feel too shocked, I just felt my heart sink violently. Anger, shame, humiliation, all kinds of emotions entangled in my heart, I tightly bit my lips, unknowingly even biting blood.

 Officer Sun put a coat on me, I just noticed that I had been lying in the warehouse all night, and had caught a bit of a cold.

 Two corpses have been carried away, Officer Sun said that my aunt had been looking for us all night, knowing that I was safe and sound, only to let go of my heart.

 Officer Sun asked me to go with him to the city's criminal police force, recorded a statement, I told him everything I know, and then asked him a few questions, who is the Jiangbei Broken Knife, how did my grandfather die, and who is that fat man.

 Officer Sun frowned and said, "I know you're very concerned about these things right now, since your grandfather instructed you to stay away from them before he died, I think it's better if you don't ask."

 "How can I not care!" I stood up excitedly and cursed through gritted teeth, "That man killed my grandfather, I want revenge!"

 Officer Sun sighed and said, "Alright, I'll tell you everything I know, but you have to rot these words in your heart and never mention them to anyone."

 He lit a cigarette and was about to start talking, when a policeman walked in, holding a file in his hand, seeing that I was present, he was ready to withdraw again, and was called back by Officer Sun, "They're all on their own, what's the matter, just say it!"

 The policeman glanced at me and stammered, "Officer Sun, Song Lao's autopsy report is out."

 "Bring it over."

 Officer Sun took the autopsy report and glanced at it, his face suddenly became grave as he muttered, "It's really that guy."

 Then he handed the report to me, the medical examiner opened the autopsy report although I was the first time to read it, there are quite a lot of specialized terminology on it, but the modern forensic medicine and the ancient coroner after all, there are many similarities, and I didn't have to make much effort to read and understand it.

 It said that the deceased No. 1, that is, the middle-aged fat man, the body surface does not have any breakage, no signs of poisoning, except for the eyeballs were removed by someone in life, resulting in lacerations of the optic nerve and eyeball muscle. In addition, his heart was missing from his abdominal cavity, suspected to be cut by a sharp instrument, but his skin and ribs were intact, and the plastic bag in his hand contained a human heart, which was assayed to be his own.

 Seeing this, I couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air, without destroying the body to directly remove the heart, is this possible?

 And grandfather's cause of death is, a large perforation of the heart valve, suspected to be stabbed by a sharp instrument, the direct cause of death is cardiac arrest, again in the body surface did not find any wounds, no traces of binding and fighting, and no signs of poisoning.

 I was so shocked that I couldn't speak, Officer Sun took the report from me and said, "The only one who can do such a thing is the Jiangbei Broken Knife from ten years ago, and it seems that he came back to take revenge on the Song family."

 Then, Officer Song spoke quietly about the big unsolved bizarre case ten years ago ...
