Chapter 40: The Wilderness of Corpses
Kuang Suo waited all night near the mute's residence and in the places that the man frequented, but he did not find his whereabouts. This made him a little anxious, could it be that the dumb man fled in panic after attacking Wan Yongkun? This is not impossible.
If that's the case, then it's a big problem, and even if it's hidden, although Kuang Suo is now very familiar with Luoshui Village, if the dumb man doesn't come out, he will have no problem at all. He also deliberately went to the highway to take a look, and did not find obvious ruts, recently heavy rains, to hide the ruts, it is more difficult than climbing to the sky, so thinking about it, the dumb man did not enter the city.
In this way, it is most likely to go into the mountains, and after searching the source village to no avail, Kuang Suo decided not to waste time searching other villages, and went directly to the places where the mutes frequented. Along the way, he was cautious, for fear of being tracked back, so his speed of action was relatively slow.
He also made a phone call to Li Yiting very carefully to report, and Li Yiting said that he would also enter the mountain later.
Kuang Suo suddenly felt much more at ease, and hurried to the place where Wan Yongkun was attacked, except for the faint blood stains that were still left, the scene was empty, but he unexpectedly found a few scattered female statues in the grass, which immediately aroused his vigilance.
According to Wan Yongkun, the mute man is obsessed with the carved woman, so how could he abandon the statue?
Something isn't right, Kuang Shuo secretly doubted.
He thought calmly for a moment and decided to expand the search area, and sure enough, in a hidden grass, he found an unusual pool of blood, and next to this bloodstain, there was a string of red dots in the shape of blood droplets, these red dots should have been left by Wan Yongkun, but this pool of bloodstains?
Kuang Suo's mind was meticulous, he roughly estimated the distance between the bloodstains and Wan Yongkun's fighting position, and preliminarily judged that it should not be Wan Yongkun's, if it was so close and spurted so much blood, Wan Yongkun would not be able to escape at all.
It is very possible, after all, Wan Yongkun is not an idle person, and he is also evenly matched with the dumb man, so how can he lose 800 of his own damage if he injures a thousand enemies.
Kuang Shuo roughly had a little eyebrows, and he guessed that the dumb man was most likely to recuperate nearby, and there should be his stronghold here.
He took a few more steps forward, and suddenly found that there was a steep slope in front of him, and he looked at it, and gasped, this slope must be sixty or seventy degrees, and his eyes were sharp, and he immediately saw that the grass here was obviously lodging, and the dumb man may have been lying here, but now he was gone.
Kuang Suo wanted to follow Wan Yongkun's bloodstains, but his heart suddenly moved, and he glanced down the steep slope again, and this careful look was not tight, and a clear weed lodging trace suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, this trace was very long, slightly curved, very like an object rolling down.
Could it be that the dumb man rolled straight down the hill from here?
For a mute man who was seriously injured, it was obviously inconceivable how he could choose such an escape route.
Kuang Shuo slowly climbed down the steep slope in confusion, he wanted to find out, fortunately although the slope was steep, but there were still some bamboos growing piecemeal, he walked a broken line, and finally gradually approached the bottom.
The situation at the bottom of the valley made him creepy!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Kuang Suo first found a large mess of blood, and then saw a bloodstained firewood knife, which was stuck diagonally on the ground, as if it had been thrown out of his hand.
Immediately afterward, he found a lodging corpse, and when he turned it over in horror, the fat face of the dumb man appeared in front of him, and there was a long wound on his neck.
The location of the wound is just near the great artery.
The dumb man was killed! What happened after he and Wan Yongkun left?
Kuang Suo was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to do, but a loud voice came from the top of the slope, which really startled him.
But he soon heard that this was Li Yiting's voice, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly responded loudly, so Li Yiting jumped down from the hillside, and frowned when he saw the tragic situation here, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
"Damn, this guy actually killed himself. Li Yiting said angrily.
"How do you know he committed suicide?" Kuang Suo was a little puzzled.
Li Yiting didn't answer in a hurry, he walked over and broke the dumb man's left hand, and found that he was still holding a statue tightly, and he glanced at the position of the firewood knife again.
"The knife in his right hand is extended, the wound is in the left artery, the body is in an inverted shape, and the wood knife is less than two meters away from the body, which is consistent with the characteristics of suicide. Li Yiting explained simply.
Kuang Suo asked, "What if someone took a knife and slashed his neck?" Thinking of that terrifying scene, his heart couldn't help but shudder.
"There is also this possibility, but the probability is not large, if the wood knife is thrown down the hillside, the direction of the force is wrong, and the distance is even more difficult to grasp. Unless the killer is a master of layout, able to accurately calculate every detail and carefully concoct it, but in my experience, there is no trace of a third person setting foot here. ”
Kuang Shuo nodded: "In this way, the dumb man really committed suicide, it doesn't make sense...... Why did he do that? We were chased by him and fled. ”
Li Yiting's face was also very solemn, and a variety of speculations flashed in his mind.
"I can't figure it out for a while. Li Yiting squatted down again, carefully examined the body of the dumb man, turned out each pocket one by one, it was empty, and then looked at the statue, it was not stained with the slightest trace of blood.
He glanced at the mute's face again, and it seemed that he could still see a strange smile!
He was shocked in his heart, and suddenly had a bold guess: "Looking at this appearance, it looks like martyrdom......" Li Yiting didn't know where such an idea came from.
"Martyrdom?!" Kuang Shuo said, "Martyrdom for the statue?"
"Of course, it is a martyr for the owner of this statue. Li Yiting smiled bitterly.
Kuang Shuo said angrily: "If you don't die soon, you won't be martyred later, at this critical moment, can he predict the prophet and guess that we are going to arrest him?"
"It shouldn't be that simple. Li Yiting shook his head.
"Strange, who could this woman be?" he muttered to himself.
Kuang Suo hurriedly reported: "Listening to Yongkun, this may be Li Fuqi's deceased mother." ”
"Really?" To be honest, Li Yiting hadn't seen Li Fuqi's mother much, and when he heard this, he looked at it again for a moment, "There is something like it between his eyebrows." He still can't tell, with vague memories from more than 20 years ago.
"We'd better not destroy the scene and go back first. He considered that the body could not be placed, so he had to deal with it from a professional point of view.
Kuang Suo hesitated a little: "Just let him do this...... Will it be dragged away by wild dogs?"
Li Yiting nodded: "Let's take some branches to protect him, it shouldn't be a big problem, and after the road is opened, it will still have to be handed over to the criminal police team to deal with." This person is alone, and I'm afraid no one will come to collect the body. ”
The two of them immediately took some simple protective measures before leaving the bamboo forest and returning to school.
