Chapter 915, Troublesome Things

I didn't have to get a carriage for you.

Although his little pony is not as fast as a war horse, his stamina is still very good, and he is fully able to cope with a long journey.

It took a while to rush to the scene of the crime, and this area had obviously been cordoned off by the people of the Gaoling City Patrol.

It is worth mentioning here that this section of the road has already been paved.

It is precisely because of this that it has left obvious traces.

The carriage, which had been running on a flat road, suddenly shifted its position, leaving a clear wheel mark as it rushed underneath the road.

The next direction can be said to have completely deviated from the road.

Both sides of the road are mostly bare hills, undulating and obviously not at all suitable for horse-drawn carriages.

The wheel print was completely broken after extending for about one or two hundred meters.

Zhang Peng's body was found farther away......

Of course, the body had been removed by the patrol, and there was only a pool of blackened and dried blood left in the place where the body was originally upside down, which was really invisible.

"Where is the body?"

"Lord Gawain, please follow me."

While speaking, Zhao Tao took Gao Wen to the temporary camp set up by the patrol team next to him.

The matter has not yet been clarified, and it is obviously impossible for them to dispose of the body.

Therefore, Zhang Peng's body was temporarily stored here.

After entering the camp, the stench that rushed to his face made Gawain pinch his nose.

Although the temperature has recently begun to cool down due to the changing seasons, the climate in the west is still a bit hot and dry.

After a few days, the corpse had apparently begun to decompose.

After taking a closer look, the other party's death can be said to be quite miserable, and he was completely disemboweled.

Fortunately, the face was still intact, and after being cleaned up by the patrol members, Gawain could barely identify the other party's identity.

"That's right, it's Zhang Peng, that's right."

As he spoke, Gawain took two steps back, the smell was so disgusting that he couldn't stand it.

"Looks like he was attacked by a wild beast?"

After all, the civilization of the Ten Thousand Worlds is still in ancient times, and in the area outside the city range, there are naturally wild beasts infested, which is not an uncommon thing.

Although Gao Wen only took a cursory glance just now, he could clearly see that that the fatal injury was not caused by man at all.

And Zhao Tao, who heard this, shook his head.

"Not sure yet."

Hearing this, Gao Wen was stunned.

"How?"

"According to the information we have obtained, the deceased left Gaoling City in a carriage and pulling a cart of ingredients at the same time, and judging from the scene near the highway, he was indeed driving a carriage at that time."

Speaking of this, Zhao Tao breathed a sigh of relief.

"But now the problem is that the carriage is gone, the ingredients that should have been loaded on the carriage are also completely missing, and at the same time, according to our inspection, all the belongings of the deceased are gone."

Hearing this, Gao Wen's expression became decisive and solemn.

Obviously, the beast doesn't know how to drive a wagon, and it won't take all of its belongings from a target after killing it.

"So, you think it's artificial?"

At this time, Gawain was a little upset, he really didn't want to be involved in such a troublesome matter.

"Could it be that the beast killed him, and then someone passing by got greedy and took the wagon and finances?"

"According to this theory, it is also possible that someone killed him and then the body was eaten by the beasts that passed by, isn't it?"

Zhao Tao replied.

As for Zhao Tao's guess, Gao Wen shook his head directly.

"Impossible."

"Why?"

Zhao Tao couldn't help but ask with some curiosity.

"If it was man-made in the first place, then he had time to get the wagon and even loot the property, so why didn't he have time to dispose of the body? Even if you dig a pit and bury him, it's far better than throwing corpses in the wilderness, right? ”

Speaking of this, Gawain's voice paused slightly.

"Or does the murderer think that the body is here, and we can't find it?"

The last sentence obviously carried a hint of sarcasm, and in his mind, no one would be stupid like this.

Although Gawain is sometimes very out of tune, he still talks endlessly when he pats his ass, and he is completely in the posture of a minister.

But don't forget, he has four stars for his intelligence.

In other words, his mind is far more intelligent than the average good person.

Although this kind of is not what he is good at, after letting his brain turn, it will not be blackened.

"The carriage was originally on a paved road, and on the road, the carriage was more efficient, in other words, it was unreasonable for the deceased to suddenly drive the carriage off the road and towards the hilly area next to it."

"From this it can be seen that there was an unexpected situation at that time, for example, on the other side of the road, a fierce beast suddenly rushed out and attacked him, and the deceased was panicked, so he quickly turned the direction of the carriage, and accidentally rushed down the road."

"However, the hilly area is undulating, and it is not suitable for horse-drawn carriages at all, and it is estimated that after running wildly for a while, the car overturned due to the terrain, and the beast that attacked him was obviously still chasing behind."

"It was obvious that the deceased could not wait for death, so he began to run desperately, but in the end he could not escape the pursuit of the beast, and finally died in the mouth of the beast."

"After that, a day or two later, or even on the same day, passers-by found the carriage that had turned over hundreds of meters away, so they stepped forward to confirm the situation, and then became greedy and fled after taking the carriage and the deceased's belongings."

After speaking, Gao Wen breathed a long sigh of relief.

"That's about what I analyzed."

Gao Wen's analysis made Zhao Tao and the surrounding patrol members stunned.

The worst thing is that after this set, they actually feel that it is reasonable, and they can't find anything wrong at all, as if this is the case.

And if this is the case, then this case can only be described as an unfortunate accident.

Those who were greedy and took away the wagons and finances, although despicable, cannot be said to have committed a felony.

However, the Investigation of the Civilization Patrol of the Ten Thousand Worlds is based on evidence.

With Gawain's mouth alone, no matter how reasonable what he said, they couldn't believe it all.

For this narrative to be valid, two key pieces of evidence must be found.

The first key piece of evidence is the murderous beast.

The second key piece of evidence was the deceased's carriage and belongings.

After all, Gawain was in the heavy responsibility of His Majesty, and it was obviously impossible for the patrol to keep him there all the time.

After obtaining intelligence information and confirming the situation, he let Gawain go back.

Then quickly notify Kaolin City and Oasis City, as well as the nearby post station, and begin to search for the whereabouts of the deceased's carriage and belongings.

At the same time, a team of 100 people was transferred from Gaoling City to search for traces of wild beasts in the hilly area.

If there really are ferocious beasts that will actively attack people in this area, it will be a threat to the people of the two cities, as well as to the construction team that is paving the road, and it must be hunted down as soon as possible.
