Chapter Twenty-Six: The Corpse
Chapter XXVI: The Corpse
The crowd searched around the surrounding area and found no danger, so they gathered. Yin Hang walked over to the disfigured corpse that had been gnawed by vultures, and observed it carefully with Sheriff Simon; I saw that this corpse was obviously the body of a child, standing upright about one meter and a little more than one meter, the left eyeball had been taken by the vulture, only a blood hole remained, and the muscles of the face were not complete, but it could still be seen how frightened this little girl was before she died.
The clothes were torn and only a few strips of cloth remained, exposing the lower body, Yin Hang observed traces of turbidity drying and suspected that the little girl had been raped before she died, and her legs were broken and dislocated, becoming a deformity. The state is extremely miserable.
Sheriff Simon squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "These scumbags"!
Yin Hang pointed to a location and said, "It shouldn't be long before they left!" Simon turned his head to see that it was a fire surrounded by a few stones, but now it was extinguished, and said, "Yes! The ash charcoal was not blown away by the wind, and there was still a faint smell of smoke"!
Yin Hang nodded and said, "Look around again, there must be some traces!" Simon nodded and waved his hand at the two henchmen, and the group radiated again, looking around for clues.
Yin Hang held the rifle and slowly measured his steps, his eyes scanning around like a falcon. After a while, he found a small cigar as long as a little finger knuckle in a pile of rocks, Yin Hang squatted down, picked it up from the ground, and looked at it carefully. I saw that a small piece of soot was still left on it, so I judged that these people really didn't go far. But this little section of cigar doesn't mean much. So he got up and continued to look for clues.
So why don't they look for horseshoe prints or something? That's because this is a valley, and although the convective wind is not strong, it is enough to cover the footprints of half an hour ago. After all, this is a dry loess road, and a small burst of dust will still blow up when encountering convective winds! Instead of a big mud road one step at a time!
"Come and see this"! Tommy shouted from twenty meters to Yin Hang's left. Yin Hang walked over quickly, and the rest of the people also surrounded him. But Tommy found an empty bullet casing, and Sergeant Simon picked it up, put it under his nose, sniffed it, and said, "Not long!" One hour, no more than two hours at most"! ……
In the end, everyone searched to no avail, although they found some traces, but these traces can only show that the gang of bandits has not been long after leaving, but they can't tell Yin Hang and the others where these people have gone!
Yin Hang said: "Sheriff, can't you tell where they went"?
Sheriff Simon thought for a moment and said, "The roads in this valley lead in all directions, and they can lead anywhere!"
Yin Hang said: "Sheriff, have you noticed, although we found some clues about them, but we didn't find any traces of them eating and drinking, even if they survive by hunting, there must be some bones left!" ”!
Sergeant Simon stared at Yin Hang for a while and said, "Young man, don't have any worries! What do you want to say"?
Yin Hang sorted out his thoughts and said, "They need supplies!" So I judged that they had two possibilities, one was by hunting! Hunting can solve the food problem, so where are there more animals in this area? The second possibility is that they will go to a certain town and buy it! These people are bandits just for money, what do they do when they have money? Flowers, of course! ”!
Sheriff Simon nodded, "You are very reasonable, but we only have these few people, and there are too many suspicious locations to divide the troops!" However, they just made a case not long ago, and based on past experience, they will not do another case immediately after they finish one case, and there is a police station in the town, so I think they can only go hunting for a while to fill their stomachs. Or they may run to a town far away, but this one may have a smaller surname"!
"I knew there was a place around here where the animals around me would drink"! Said to Ban Dengsheng.
"Okay! We first set our sights on a few water sources around us, after all, in addition to animals, people also need to drink water"! Sheriff Simon made the decision.
After the horses had been taken, the head of the man, who was called Nobo, became the pioneer officer, and walked all the way out of the valley and down the path. After a while, he turned around and ran towards the big field where there was no road.
Gradually, Yin Hang found that as he ran, the loess gradually became less, and the grass increased, and occasionally a big tree with good growth could be found, and the water source was not far away.
Sure enough, everyone beat their horses and ran for nearly twenty minutes, and some small animals appeared in front of them, such as hares, horses, etc., and when they saw Yin Hang and them galloping, they scattered and fled. After discovering this situation, Yin Hang said in his heart: "It's over, it seems that the bandits haven't come to this water source, or they have been gone for a while, otherwise these animals can't still be wandering near the water source!"
After arriving at the first destination, Yin Hang found out. This water source point is actually a small puddle, and he doesn't know if there is a dark river, creek or anything like that below, but everyone circled around the water source, and they really didn't find any traces of anyone coming!
Sergeant Simon pressed the cowboy hat on his horse and said, "Don't be discouraged, our thinking is still correct, Dengsheng!" Take us to another water source"!
"Good sheriff"! After Dengsheng finished answering, he shook the reins and ran out to the left first. Yin Hang, like everyone else, followed him closely.
This time it was not far, only thirty minutes to reach the second water source, and everyone looked for it again, but there was still no clue!
But Sheriff Simon was not discouraged and told everyone to go to the third location.
Although there was nothing to be found in the first two places, Yin Hang did not relax, and when he was on the road, he checked his equipment again and followed everyone silently.
Dengsheng turned around and shouted, "Sheriff, look! ”; Just as they were about to arrive at the third water source, before Dengsheng shouted a loud reminder, they noticed that there was a cooking smoke in the distance, which was rising.
Sheriff Simon immediately made a decision and said, "Get off the horse!" Don't startle the snake"!!
"Phew"! ~
Yin Hang immediately grabbed the horse, jumped down, and said, "It may be that the bandit is cooking on a fire, and he hasn't found us yet, so it's best to catch him off guard!"
Simon said: "Eastwood, you take Tommy around to their right, and I take Dengsheng to attack from the front, so that they can't take care of both ends." Remember! After I shoot, let's go on the offensive together! ”
Yin Hang said "No problem", turned his head and nodded at Tommy, and said, "Follow me, Tommy"!
