Chapter 687: Warning

Upon hearing the name Bloodstain Gang, Chen Chuan glanced around the living room and asked, "What's it about?"

Ren Shu said, "It's about the previous Commission regarding the Skull-Splitting Demon. The letter arrived before Expert Chen returned. We made the excuse that Expert Chen was not here. Now that they heard you are back, they sent someone again." He then added, "But this time, they didn't come in the name of the gang, but in the name of Migratory Bird Company."

Chen Chuan knew that Migratory Bird Company was just one of the many companies opened by the Bloodstain Gang, just a facade, but this facade made things look better on the surface.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "I don't have time right now. The letter from last time didn't explain things clearly. Have them send the specific details over, and I'll take a look before deciding."

Ren Shu said, "Okay, I'll reply to them that way."

After he hung up the phone, he went back to talk to Little Aunt's family. However, it was only after lunch when Ren Shu called again, saying, "Expert Chen, the Bloodstain Gang has already sent the materials over. This time, they also want to speak with you in person…"

So fast?

Chen Chuan's mind raced. It seemed the Bloodstain Gang was indeed very anxious, but he didn't want Holiday to run around for this matter, so he said, "Just say I'm busy and arrange a time for tonight." Ren Shu said, "Okay, I'll have Xiao Wei pick you up then."

Chen Chuan stayed at Little Aunt's house all afternoon. After dinner, he made a phone call to confirm, then he washed up, changed his clothes, and went out.

When he arrived at the alley, Xiao Wei driver had already driven the car to the entrance. He got in directly, and the car started smoothly, driving all the way to the Company.

Ren Shu had been waiting for him. Seeing him arrive, he came out to greet him, and after exchanging greetings, he said, "Expert Chen, the person is still here waiting, he's been sitting here all afternoon."

Chen Chuan said, "Quite patient, indeed."

Ren Shu said, "We are a legitimate company. Even if it's the Bloodstain Gang, since they are talking to us as a company, they must abide by the rules between companies."

When he said this, he was different from the cautiousness he had when talking to Chen Chuan, instead being very confident, because undoubtedly this was his area of expertise.

He then looked at Chen Chuan and asked, "Does Expert Chen want to see him now?"

Chen Chuan said, "Let's do it now."

Ren Shu said okay and gestured, and a staff member went to invite the person, while he led Chen Chuan directly to the reception hall of the third building.

He said, "We are currently installing an elevator so that Expert Chen doesn't have to run up and down every time."

Chen Chuan nodded. He knew what Ren Shu meant, always trying to provide him with better conditions. That's why he also gave the Company more in return. He said, "The Company's environment is good now."

After arriving in the reception hall, the two sat for a while, hearing someone outside say, "Mr. Li, this way, please."

After a moment, a tall, thin man walked out. This man didn't look like a gang member at all on the surface. His clothes were no different from those of other Company senior employees.

After entering, he introduced himself to the two, saying that he was Li Hui, the senior manager of Migratory Bird Company, and then greeted the two warmly and politely.

After saying some compliments and polite words, the two sides sat down. Manager Li tried to ask, "I wonder if Expert Chen has time to listen to me explain the situation?"

Chen Chuan said, "That's why I asked Manager Li to come here."

"Good, good."

Manager Li took the briefcase from his hand and placed it on the table. He took out a stack of data from it and handed it to Ren Shu and Chen Chuan, saying, "This is the data that our Company sent at Expert Chen's request."

Chen Chuan took it and, while flipping through it, Manager Li added, "Please allow me to briefly say that it is truly regrettable that three respected gentlemen within the Bloodstain Gang have died."

Chen Chuan remained noncommittal, flipping through the data. He had only seen written descriptions before, but now he saw very direct photos.

When these three people died, their skulls were split open to both sides, and the separation was exaggerated. One could see that everything inside was gone. This made him think of the two halves of watermelon that had been eaten clean with a spoon that afternoon.

Just looking at the photos, he seemed to be able to feel the person eating at that time carefully peeling open the skin and flesh, cautiously separating them, not only eating the main brain tissue but also licking the internal residue clean, leaving not a trace, with no bloodstains around, only an empty skull.

Ren Shu, who was next to him, only looked at the photos a few times before he felt overwhelmed. Waves of nausea came over him, and he could only cover his mouth with a handkerchief.

Manager Li said there, "We have repeatedly investigated and even asked people to come and see, but we have not been able to find any clues. They were just sleeping in their own beds and had their brains broken in this way, so we can basically confirm that this should really be the work of the Skull-Splitting Demon."

Chen Chuan looked at the investigation records below, all the deceased had died suddenly. For example, one of them was talking to his wife in bed when he suddenly stopped making noise.

This wife was very dissatisfied, and then when she turned around, what she found was an already split head and an empty skull, so she was frightened and fainted on the spot, and she experienced it again after she woke up. Her Spirit even had some problems afterward.

Another one, perhaps his family didn't care much about him. In the morning, his mistress got up and dressed carefully, said hello, and went out, completely unaware that the person in bed had already had his head eaten. It wasn't until she was still lying there at night that she realized something was wrong. By that time, he had been cold for a day.

Only the last person was found in the gang office, and there were no traces of outsiders breaking in at the scene.

He then said to Manager Li, "The Skull-Splitting Demon has appeared in Yangzhi City for a long time, but it has never been resolved, so I want to study it first before deciding whether to accept this Commission."

"Okay, okay." Manager Li was very good at recognizing expressions. Now the only hope was in Chen Chuan. It was already good that the other party was willing to look into it. He didn't dare to show his face. He stood up and said, "Then I won't disturb Expert Chen. If Expert Chen has any discoveries, please be sure to notify us."

He took out a business card and placed it on the table, said goodbye to the two, and left very tactfully.

Chen Chuan waited for Ren Shu to come back after seeing this person off, and asked, "Mr. Ren, has the Company reported any similar situations from other places?"

Ren Shu thought for a while and said, "We recently obtained a batch of data from the Government Affairs Hall, and we didn't see any similar reports, but we don't know if there were any that weren't reported. However, I have already had people organize all the past reports about the Skull-Splitting Demon. Does Expert Chen want to see them now?"

Chen Chuan said, "Okay, bring them all over."

After the staff brought the files over, he removed some of them that were obviously intentionally used to confuse the issue, as well as those that were too old, leaving only those that were more valuable.

After reading them, he found that these situations were exactly the same as what he had seen in the previous photos, but this still couldn't really be determined unless he went to the scene to take a look. However, seeing that the corpses above had already been buried, there was no need to create more trouble. He could only wait for the Skull-Splitting Demon to appear next time to see if there was a chance.

Because there was nothing else here, he didn't stay at the Company for long and directly took a car back to the school. On the way, he was also wondering, why was the Skull-Splitting Demon only targeting the Bloodstain Gang this time? Was it because the Bloodstain Gang had done something? Or was there some other reason?

While he was thinking, he suddenly reacted, stretched out his hand, and steadily caught a crossbow bolt shot from outside the car window.

However, judging from the direction, this crossbow bolt would not have hit him. If his judgment was correct, it should have hit the car door next to him and then stuck there.

He turned his eyes and saw a figure flashing and disappearing on the roof across the road.

He withdrew his gaze and saw that a small note was wrapped around the crossbow bolt.

This person obviously had good skills, because even if there was a little bit of extra material on the arrow shaft, it could interfere with the arrow shot out. Being able to accurately shoot an arrow into the window of a moving car from a distance of more than thirty meters and ensure that it doesn't hurt the people inside, this shooting skill level is very high.

He unwrapped the note from it, opened it and looked at it, and saw a sentence written in blood red, "It's none of your business, stay away."

He was thoughtful. It should be about the Bloodstain Gang, it seems this was a warning.

Who could it be? The Iron Chain Gang?

On the surface, the most likely to do this was the Iron Chain Gang, but he had also been in contact with people from the Iron Chain Gang, but he always felt that this style was a bit inconsistent with the temperament of the Iron Chain Gang.

He said to Xiao Wei driver, "Master Xiao Wei, stop the car ahead."

Xiao Wei driver said, "Okay, Expert Chen."

After the car stopped, Chen Chuan got out of the car, straightened his clothes, went to a secluded place, took out the box from the briefcase, and tapped it with his fingers, "I need you to lead the way."

On the other side, the figure who shot the crossbow bolt jumped off the roof and ran around the secluded alley all the way. Half an hour later, he came to a remote small building.

There were several young people inside. Seeing him come in, they asked, "Xin Ge, how was it?"

That person took off his hood, revealing a young face, and took a few breaths, saying, "I have warned that expert, but I don't know if he will continue to help the Bloodstain Gang." When he spoke of the Bloodstain Gang, a look of hatred appeared in his eyes.

A young man standing in the corner who had not come over said, "The legend of the Skull-Splitting Demon has been around for so many years, and no one has been able to solve it. I don't think it's necessary to do anything extra."

Xin Ge said seriously, "I told you, that expert is very powerful. Even the previous Feitou Cult was solved by him, so he may also be able to solve the Skull-Splitting Demon."

The young man still didn't think so, "Such a powerful person, will he be scared by your crossbow bolt? I don't think so."

"We always have to try."

The young man said, "What we need is not to scare people, but more good weapons, such as this expert, wouldn't it be easier to just kill him? Why bother with that effort?"

Xin Ge said in a deep voice, "There will be, I have already contacted them. Once we get it, none of us will have to be afraid."
