Chapter 51: Clues on the Corpse

The rain soaked his whole body in a matter of minutes, and Donald ran his hair back, leaving his hair up to his ears without tending for a while, and a lot of water was accumulating.

"I'm sorry I couldn't help much. ”

As a stranger who has developed in terms of spiritual power, so far he has only had a chicken mental impact, and Donald is also helpless.

Of course, even if there were other means, he couldn't use it in front of Sherlock just now.

"Your performance is already very good, at least you can act according to the command, and you can change to someone with less concentration, who can't survive just now...... If I really want to talk about it, I haven't done anything. ”

This is not a consolation, in the face of terrifying monsters, ordinary people can do this to the point that they really can't blame anything anymore.

If Donald really broke out and killed the monster, it would be terrifying.

"You two aren't hurt, are they?

Panting, Goren came running from the rain, covered with a waterproof leather cloak, carrying a double-barreled shotgun and a kerosene lamp.

"Where did you find the monster?"

Despite being soaking wet, Sherlock held up his umbrella.

"It's in the barn over there, it's my vigil today, and this monster hasn't been here for days...... Damn, it's raining today, and all the cattle and sheep have obviously rushed into the shed, I don't know who was negligent, and actually let the monster touch it and harm several cattle and sheep. ”

There was no fear of the monster on Goren's face, and he had a well-maintained double-barreled shotgun in his hand, which he had just relied on to blast the monster away.

"You're the only one keeping vigil?"

"Of course not, with such a big farm, how can I do it alone, and there are two people, who are watching the cattle and sheep in the back, and maybe they can save one or two. ”

"Take us to see the situation. ”

This time, the monster did not drag the prey away as before, probably because of the timely discovery of Goren and the others, and the number of kills was large.

The cattle and sheep on the farm are divided into several shantytowns, and the shantytowns are divided into areas.

By the time they arrived, there had already been a lot of people gathered here, and Zil Bartlett was there, and when he saw Donald and Sherlock, he came up to take care of them.

"Mr. Swift, do you see a monster? Listen to Goren say that you have a close fight with monsters. ”

"Just a quick glance, the surrounding environment is too dark, much like an enlarged version of a wild wolf, I think it is likely to be a beast in the mountains and forests...... I don't know what I ate to grow so big, so I must take a look at it in detail next time. ”

Obviously, Sherlock had concealed the truth of the matter, and the monster did bear some resemblance to a wolf, but its characteristics were not here, but the pale red flesh, which alone proved that it was definitely not an ordinary creature.

"Yes, I saw it too, its eyes glowed green, its tail was very powerful, and it made a dull sound on the umbrella in my hand, it was really a beast of prey. ”

The assistant should look like an assistant, and as a payroll, Sherlock had to find a way to pick it up even if it was a pink rabbit that rushed over.

For example, its two front teeth are flashing with a cold light, and its pink fluffy tail is full of "lethality" at a glance......

As soon as the two men said this, Zil Barrett stayed here for a while and then returned to the main house, for as a gentleman of a certain status, it was unreasonable to stand outside the barn with so many people in his pajamas.

As soon as the boss was gone, some of the servants who had followed him returned, and who wanted to stay in the shack at night and look at the corpses in the smell of livestock?

In the end, except for Donald and Sherlock, there were only three members of the patrol.

"I was bitten three in total, none of them were saved, they all died, and each one was bitten on the neck and did not eat...... What a mongrel. ”

Godot wiped his shotgun with a rag, glancing at the two crouching next to the corpse from time to time.

There was a lamb lying on the ground in front of him, and Donald couldn't see it for a few months, the wool on his neck was stained red with blood, and there were not many scratches on his torso, and the wound was concentrated on his neck, and the blow was fatal.

Using the tip of the umbrella to remove the wool and find the exact location of the wound, a row of bloody holes appeared in the center of the neck, probably because the monster's fangs were too sharp and narrow, and the wound was even pierced.

"Can you see something?"

Donald is not a veterinarian, so he can't tell the killer of the lamb by looking at the wound, not to mention the wound left by the monster he met just now, even if the old veterinarian comes, he probably can't see it.

It's not written in the book, it's out of the outline.

"You see, with a knife cut through the artery in its neck, no blood coming out, do you know what that means?"

The blade pierced into the flesh, and indeed no blood flowed out, and the lamb died until now, but not long after, and the blood did not coagulate.

"Does that mean the previous stream was clean?"

"Wrong, it means that the monster is not here to eat meat at all, it is here to suck blood! Blood-skinned, bare-fanged, hairless, creature with this appearance, if I remember correctly, should be...... It shouldn't be, how could this creature appear in such a place, let's go, there's nothing to see, go back and take a shower first, it's sticky and uncomfortable. ”

Sherlock talked to himself, as if he had gotten the message he wanted from the corpse, and got up to leave, although Donald wanted to know what Sherlock had discovered, but he also knew that if the other party didn't plan to tell him, then it would be a vain to ask.

These corpses are planned to be disposed of tomorrow morning, it is raining heavily outside, the temperature is not high, the corpses will not rot and stink overnight, and tomorrow they will be skinned and cleaned, maybe they can add a meal.

"Donald, we're going to-morrow to the town near Ranffindor Farm, where Miss Audrey used to go. ”

"Is there anything you need to look for?"

You can't just go to town for no reason.

"What happened today reminds me of a previous book I read, tomorrow I'm going to the town to verify, and by the way, prepare some special weapons to use against that monster. ”

"Shouldn't we call the police, because they're no ordinary creatures. ”

"No, you can't call the police, why do you think I just lied to Zil Bartlet? ”

There's nothing to say, with such a boss, it seems that there is a reason for the weekly salary of 1 gold pound.
