Chapter 213: An Unexpected Discovery

"Someone left a bunch of stuff to scare him," he said, glancing up the hill, "and chased him in here and shot him." %" It seemed to Katyusha that Hugh was about to give more details, but he stopped, perhaps because of Bolin's presence.

"Where?"

The officer pointed. The body is not visible from here.

"I'll show you the first scene." He led them along the path, and after climbing about two hundred yards up the hill, they came to a path that led to a clearing. They looked down at the yellow cordon and saw rose petals on the ground and crosses in the sand, as well as scattered pieces of flesh and bloodstains, bones, paw prints in the soil, which seemed to have been left by vultures and crows.

"It's animal meat," Hugh said, "that's what the CSI officers said. Probably beef, the kind you bought in the store. My guess was that the victim ran there along the mountain road and found this pile of things, and he was so frightened that he ran away. Travis met him halfway down the mountain. ”

"What's his name?"

"Lyndon, a lawyer, lives nearby."

Katyusha glanced away, "Wait, Lindon? I remember, he posted on his blog. ”

Bolin opened his backpack and pulled out a dozen pages of paper, which were a stack of printed copies of the blog's web pages. "That's right, but not in the 'cross' post chain. Is he posting a reply post about a seawater purification plant? He's rooting for Chilton. ”

He handed her the printout:

Reply to Chilton, Linden's post.

I have to say that you opened my eyes on this issue. I don't know anyone is forcibly letting it through. I reviewed the filed proposal at the county planning bureau, and I must say that while I am a lawyer familiar with environmental issues, this proposal is one of the most obscure documents I have painstakingly seen. I think we need more transparency to have a meaningful debate on this issue.

Katyusha asked, "How did Travis know he lived here?" The place is so remote. ”

"These are trails for running," Boleyn said. I'm sure Strickland has said on the bulletin board or on his blog that he likes to run here. ”

We've leaked too much information about ourselves online. Too much, too much.

Hugh asked, "Why did the boy kill him?"

Boleyn seemed to be thinking about something.

"What, Jon?" Katyusha asked.

"I just had an idea, but be warned, Travis is addicted to those computer games."

Katyusha explained to Hugh that Travis played an MMORPG online.

The professor continued, "One aspect of this game is growth. As your character grows, your territory expands. You have to do it, or you won't succeed. Following this classic pattern, I think Travis will broaden his target range. First of all, it was people who attacked him directly. Now, anyone who supports Chilton is included, even if they have nothing to do with the Cross's post chain. ”

Bolin looked down at the few pieces of meat and the paw prints on the sand, "That means the number of potential victims will increase exponentially, and dozens of people are currently in danger." As long as there is a post, even the person who has expressed even the slightest support for Chilton, I will find out their address. ”

The news is even more disheartening.

"We're going to have an autopsy now, Jon," Katyusha said, "and you need to get back to the car.

"Of course." Boleyn was relieved because he didn't have to be part of the job.

Katyusha and Hugh walked across the dunes to the place where the body was found. Katyusha asked: "How is the case of that terrorist incident going?" It's the case of containers. ”

Hugh smiled tiredly, "It's still being done." The Department of Homeland Security, the State Bureau of Investigation, and Customs are all involved, and it's really difficult. How's it going over there? Have you also reached a point of trouble? Sometimes I want to go back and drive the police car to get a ticket. ”

"I got to the point of 'powerlessness'. No, you're going to hate patrols. ”

"That's right," he paused, "what's going on with your mother?"

Again, it's the same question. Katyusha smiled brightly, but realized that she was talking to him. She lowered her voice, "Hugh, she didn't call me. When they found Pfister and the second cross, I hurried out of the courtroom. I didn't even say a word to her. She was sad and I knew she would. ”

"You've got a lawyer for her -- the best one on the peninsula. He freed her up, didn't he?"

"Yes."

"You've done your best. Don't worry about it. She's probably trying to distance yourself so that you can handle the case at hand. ”

"Probably that's the reason."

He looked at her and laughed again, "But you won't believe it's the reason." She's mad at you. She thinks you've let her down. ”

Katyusha shrugged, remembering that in her own childhood, sometimes her mother was humiliated, whether real or imagined, and this strong woman would become cold and distant. It was only in half-joking times that Katyusha's father occasionally referred to his wife as a "staff sergeant."

"The relationship between mother and daughter is difficult." Hugh muttered to himself, as if he knew exactly what she was thinking.

They came to the corpse. Katyusha nodded to the officers in the forensic department, who were placing green body bags next to the body. The photographer has just finished taking a photo. Strickland was lying on his stomach with blood on his sweatshirt. He was shot dead from behind. One shot to the back and one to the head.

"There's one thing." The autopsy doctor lifts the sweatshirt to reveal an image of the back: an image that approximates a human face, possibly a mask. Kitzal, the demon in the game Dimension Tracing. That's probably the thing Hugh didn't want to mention in front of Boleyn.

Katyusha shook her head, "You got it after you died?"

"Are there any witnesses?"

"No," said the county police officer, "there's a construction site about half a mile from here." When they heard the gunshots, they called the police. But no one saw anything. ”

Two CSD officers shouted, "No key physical evidence found, sir."

Hugh nodded, and he returned to the car with Katyusha.

Katyusha noticed Boleyn standing next to his Audi with his hands in front of him and his shoulders seemed to bulge slightly. It's obviously a very nervous posture. It's the same when you see a murder scene.

She said, "Thank you for being here, Jon." This is far beyond your responsibilities. But it helps you think. ”
