Qi Haoran waved his hand and got the soldiers to enter the village in a defensive formation. The village was not big, with only 60-odd families. However, none of them survived.
From a two-year-old baby to a 70-year-old man, the murderer did not even let off a pregnant woman.
The crime likely happened at night because most of the people died in their houses or beds. Very few dead people were found on the road in the village.
The time of death was about two days ago. If it was daytime, the people in the village would not have been mostly at home. Some must have gone to the fields or gone out. However, they had investigated the nearby fields and found no corpses or traces of murder.
