In the second half of the night, the situation finally stabilized.

The Rose squad sat in the police station resting, their faces more or less tired.

After Donald cooperated with Boglo to quickly kill the monster, he cleaned up the remaining undead creatures in Red Cliff Town, and his mental power was consumed a lot.

Boglo was slicing open his palm with a knife, some strangely colored liquid was flowing out of the wound, his talent was to make poison rather than digest poison, if these venoms were not consumed in battle, then he had to find a way to force them out after the battle, otherwise staying in his body would only cause great damage to his body.

Horn was communicating with the deputy sergeant in the police station, and from the sad expression on the deputy sergeant's face, he could tell that the situation was obviously not satisfactory.

"Donald, I made you coffee, no added sugar. ”

Stephanie brought a few cups of coffee to the table, and brought Donald's cup separately.

"Thank you...... Captain, how is the situation? ”

Taking a sip of coffee, the bitter taste filling his mouth, and his spirits lifted a little, Donald sat up straight and asked Horn.

"Thanks to you and Boglo, nearly seventy casualties, you came back in time, the slaughter of the undead has just begun, if only according to the time we returned...... Disastrous. ”

The number of undead creatures that appeared in the town of Red Cliff did not exceed 15, and the speed of killing was not fast, and Donald rushed back with Boglo, if it was 5 minutes late, this number might have increased.

However, even so, such an outcome is a very big blow for a town with a total population of less than 3,000 people.

"I heard Suzanne say you killed the murderer?"

I had been busy with the rescue before, and I didn't have time to ask about the battle situation, but now that I finally have time to catch my breath, I naturally have to ask clearly.

"It should be said that one of the murderers...... This guy did not hesitate to sacrifice himself in order to send the demon cage out, if he was the only one who committed the crime, his own escape should be the most important, the demon cage collected a lot of soul energy of the dead, I am afraid that something will happen......"

Donald looked at the undead creatures on the floor of the police station that he had killed by himself and Boglo, and continued,

"Those two undead creatures will disappear during the day because the death of the owner can't take them back, this guy still chooses to let the undead carry things, which means that near the town of Red Cliff, there must be his stronghold, and there are naturally people in this stronghold, I think we have to find out as soon as possible!"

Things are undoubtedly getting a little complicated now.

"How to check this, I don't even have a clue, hiss~"

Pence poured holy water on his wound to prevent the negative energy of the undead from causing the wound to rot, and the two diametrically opposed energies collided and he grinned in pain.

"There is a clue, it is this demon cage, I noticed the appearance of this person before he turned into a corpse, tall, fat, I asked about this information when I was at the entrance of the town this evening, and some residents said that his wife once saw a tall fat man who often went to the barren forest to hang the demon cage, they should be the same person, so it seems that he should have lived in the town of Red Cliff for a while, or he himself is a resident of this town...... Tall fat man, with a pale face and no beard, deputy sheriff, it is important that you send someone to ask if any villagers have seen him. ”

Speaking of the demon cage that Stephanie brought back, Donald thought about the details at that time, and the consumption of mental power made him dare not open his agile mind at will.

"The human head, the human head in his hand, even if he was forced to a dead end by us, he didn't let go, where are those two human heads now?"

Boglow, who was applying healing ointment to the wound on his hand, said.

"Yes, I remember that they were two masked heads, just down the street in the middle of the town, and they were running around before, and they didn't pay attention to it, so they sent someone to find them, and it shouldn't be difficult to find them. ”

After he said this, Donald also recalled the two heads, looked at the deputy sheriff and said.

"Don't look for it, we brought it back, one is...... The sheriff, one of whom was a wealthy man in the town. ”

The deputy sergeant picked up a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his face, it was clearly autumn, and it was probably a cold sweat from fright.

Donald thought to himself, no wonder he didn't see the sheriff, it stands to reason that it would definitely not be the turn of the deputy sheriff to preside over the situation at this time, and then he thought about it and felt that it was wrong.

"Sheriff's?"

Donald himself didn't believe this, he hadn't seen the sheriff, and at a glance, he knew that he was "cultivated" by sitting in the office all day and at night at various drinking parties, such a person would run to the front line of danger with a firearm to take risks?

"No, he was killed at home, and the rich man was also killed at home. ”

The deputy sergeant also wondered, he was no less surprised than Donald when he saw the two heads, and he later asked the police officer to find out.

"In order to be able to concentrate the killers, the murderer set a trap and went to the sheriff's house to kill people It can be understood that he wanted to create chaos, so what happened to this rich man? His residence will definitely not be next to ordinary residents, why did the murderer go out of his way to kill him, what about the two heads? ”

This was contrary to the purpose, the murderer killed the rich man without taking anything of value from his home, as evidenced by the empty pockets on the murderer's body.

Even if he supposes he grabs valuable objects and quietly buries them somewhere else.

What do you do by cutting off people's heads, and take them back as a memento?

It's not pretty.

The same problem exists with the sheriff.

When the two heads were wrapped in cloth from the outside and put directly on the table to open, Stephanie turned her face sideways and only dared to peek, while several other people stepped forward, and Donald took off the mask directly.

Both are wooden masks, and on the sheriff's head are the appearance of a bearded figure with a chin on it, oil paint around the eyes, and a nose that appears to be drawn in pencil.

What is worn on the face of the rich man is a bull's head, flat, and looks very abstract.

"What does it mean to put a mask on someone's head, and which of you has studied heraldic or this kind of face, and does it have any special significance?"

Donald couldn't understand the meaning of the two masks, so he could only look at the people next to him, and their expressions were similar, either shaking their heads or frowning, and Stephanie hadn't looked here since Donald took off the mask.

"However, there is a saying that in some places it is customary to wear a mask before the body is buried, covering their eyes, to prevent the soul from remembering the route of the burial, so that it can return home and not be able to enter the cycle of samsara...... But this mask has both eyes hollowed out. ”

Suzanne came up with an idea, which she then vetoed.

"These two masks...... I seem to have the impression that about two years ago, when the girl disappeared, there were witnesses who said they saw suspicious people wearing this kind of mask, but in fact there is a tradition of making masks in our town, usually at the annual bonfire festival, which is equivalent to a masquerade. ”

The deputy sheriff suddenly interjected at this point, and everyone's eyes turned to him again.

"It's another case of a missing girl, and the undead back then still have masks...... Why do you wear it on the sheriff and the rich man? Deputy sheriff, how much do you know about the disappearance of the young girl back then, and is there any record file of the case?"

The police station pays attention to the beginning and the end of the case, such as the case of the disappearance of a young girl, which should be a big case, who is the murderer, and the process of solving the case, should not be less.

However, Horn Shelley's normal request made the deputy sheriff dodge.

"Mr. Deputy Sheriff, so many people have died in the town, what are you worried about?"

Donald asked in a deep voice.

This case is definitely a bit boring!

"Yes...... This, I ......"

Donald didn't have time to waste time with him, so he patted Stephanie on the shoulder and motioned for her to go up.

"Now that there are so many casualties outside, even if Mr. Deputy Sheriff doesn't think about the townspeople, he has to think about his career, right? If you can't catch the murderer, do you think you can continue to be the deputy sheriff?"

Stephanie walked up to the deputy sheriff, her voice soft, her eyes facing each other, the latter's eyes were in a trance, and his expression suddenly became dull.

"In fact, the murderer was not found in the case of the disappearance of the girl, and only one body was found among the five missing people, and in order to mitigate the impact of the incident, the undead were found again, and the sheriff decided to put everything on the head of the undead...... Actually, I've heard some bad reviews, the sheriff has been traveling with this rich man, Mr. Daller, during that time, and there are rumors that they have done bad things to a girl, but because of their status, they ended up not doing it, and the file you asked for has long been 'discarded' because of the police cleaning..... God, what did I say!"

The deputy sergeant came to his senses after saying the last sentence, turned around and slapped himself in the mouth repeatedly.

These are all scandals in the police department.

"Is it possible that there is revenge? He is a family member of the victim of the disappearance of the girl two years ago, and he has recently found out the truth, so he wants to kill these two people who may be the real murderers?"

Cutting off the head and putting on the mask was undoubtedly an act of revenge, and Suzanne came up with a guess.

"No, if it's just revenge, what did he bother to kill so many residents? With this guy's ability, it's not too easy to kill the sheriff and the rich!"

Susanna's speculation can only explain one point, and it still doesn't make sense in other ways.

"Divided into four ways, deputy sheriff, you continue to check his information, Donald, you go to the rich man's house, Boglo you go to the sheriff's house, I will take someone to check the information of the girl's disappearance case two years ago, although the file was destroyed, the police who handled the case back then were always there, and finally met at the police station!"

Horn Shelley made the decision to divide the army into four ways, mobilizing all forces to find out the case of the disappearance of the girl two years ago in the shortest possible time.

It is the biggest crux of this incident.

The six were divided into three groups, and Donald still chose Stephanie.
