Time passed, the previous ruins collapsed again, no one knew what was inside, and all the people of the archaeological team disappeared, and so far, not a single survivor has been found. And these things will soon be covered by the torrent of time, and no one will care, and no one will want to care.

A few years have passed, until now in 2017, at the end of June.

In a remote town called Clearwater, a series of incredible things happen.

Although Qingshui Town is a remote town, don't look at the remoteness of this town, it doesn't mean that he is poor.

For example, Qingshui Town, which is a very wealthy town.

Far away from the city, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and he still retains the beautiful environment and the title of the ancient town.

It really attracts a lot of tourists, and it is crowded during the peak tourist season.

For example, this June is not the peak tourist season, but you can see tourists everywhere.

And in this small town of tourist destination, some bad things have happened recently.

For example, Aunt Wang's underwear drying next door was stolen, Uncle Zhang's three jumpers were deflated for no reason, and Aunt Li's battery car battery was stolen.

However, there must be more serious things of a more serious nature, such as homicides.

That's right, Uncle Zhang's three jumpers were not only abandoned, but their chickens were also plotted by someone who doesn't know, and now it is estimated that there is not even a single hair left. It was so cruel, sad that tears flowed from the corners of my mouth. (Peeled again,(>ω・*)ノ)

Well, no skin.

In this peaceful town recently, murders have suddenly begun to occur one after another, and one person will be killed each time.

And these murders are very strange, those victims all disappeared for no reason the day before they were killed, and suddenly appeared the next day.

And when they reappeared, they were already a cold corpse.

If it was an ordinary homicide, the town would not be so panicked, after all, the police uncle is not a vegetarian, and I believe that the murderer will be caught soon.

This time, however, it was different.

The corpses of these victims are so weird, they don't have any wounds on their bodies, but they have become a dry corpse, and the blood has been drained all over their bodies, don't you say it's weird?

If that's not weird enough, then what's going to happen next is absolutely weird.

The bodies that were found did not even have any wounds.

You must know that if you want to drain all the blood of a person, it takes a lot of work, not only to cut the arteries of the victims, but also to keep them bleeding until all the blood is gone.

However, these are different.

The blood of the victim was as if it had been directly drained, not only the blood, but all the fluids in the body had been sucked dry, and it had completely turned into a dried corpse, the kind of mummy.

If someone hadn't said they had seen the victims the day before, it would have been hard for them to imagine that this could have been done in one day.

All of a sudden, the whole town began to go viral.

Some say that this is a blood-sucking monster in the mountains, after all, this is a deep mountain and old forest, a 4A-level scenic spot, and there may be some unknown monsters in it.

Some people also say that this is the work of some black-hearted hospitals, the purpose of which is to obtain blood from these people, and then sell it or something.

Of course, this rumor was quickly debunked.

If that's the case, then why not take the victim's more valuable pancreas?

So people don't believe the last rumor at all.

But there were more people who were the first to believe.

After all, who let them have the legend of blood-sucking monsters here before?

Therefore, most people believe in the existence of monsters, and they have begun to discuss whether the monster this time is a mummy or a zombie.

"I think this must be a mummy, after all, the victims have become dried corpses, and the kind with mummies is definitely a mummy."

"No, no, no, you're too naïve, and zombies are also very dry, what if it's a zombie?"

That's probably what the locals are talking about.

Although the mummy is not a monster of Huaxia, people still can't help but think about which way.

You see, if that's the case, wouldn't it be fun?

The people here are really poisoned by sci-fi horror movies.

"Boss, these people are too stupid to believe in mummies and zombies or something, and it's too naïve, if it were me, it would definitely be thought that it was a vampire!"

“……”

The man who is speechless by his assistant's confident speech is none other than one of the protagonists in this novel, Yu Xu.

As for why he is here as a special criminal investigation team, it has to start with this incident.

At first, people didn't think there was anything, just a discussion after dinner.

They believe in the power of the people's police, and believe that they will be able to protect themselves and ordinary people.

However, as time goes by, cases continue to occur frequently, ranging from the disappearance of chickens, ducks and geese to the disappearance of people.

On average, someone is killed almost every few days.

Perhaps there will be more people killed, but tourists come here almost every day, so the exact number of people is still being counted.

Maybe there are more people than expected, maybe not that much.

But no one can say for sure, there is no correlation in every place where the body was found.

Some of them suddenly appeared on the street in the early morning of the next day, and some of them died at home at some point.

There are even some found in the scenic area.

There is no connection between the places found, and the only thing that is common is probably the corpse that has been drained of all the water.

It's dry and numb, no matter how much you dish, it can't be the kind that is round.

There was no contact between the victims, and they did not know each other.

Even people from other places have it, and this is simply an indiscriminate killing.

The nature is too bad, but the police have nothing to do about it.

The murderer's methods are so strange that they still don't know how these corpses were drained.

It is completely impossible to imagine that a living person can be transformed into what it is in one day and one night.

Other than that, they found nothing, and various examinations were carried out on the bodies of the victims, and no useful clues were obtained.

Fingerprints, bodily fluids, last contact with others, and even surveillance. Not even a single hair was left.

From all kinds of signs, there is a strange atmosphere.

If it was an ordinary case in the past, no matter how cunning the murderer was, no matter how perfect the aftermath was, they would still be able to find clues.

But don't talk about clues, there is no hair left for you, where to find clues?

The local police had no choice but to ask their superiors for support in order to control the situation from continuing to deteriorate.

So, as the captain of the special criminal investigation team, Yu Xue received this task and appeared here.

Here, Yu Yu also did a series of examinations, but still found nothing.

The case happened very strangely, and the victim would suddenly and mysteriously disappear before the case.

Neither the surveillance there could capture any clues, and the victim's body always appeared in the morning.

During the period before the victim disappeared, listening to the victim's friend, everything was very normal, and there was no unusual change.

And that's it, they were still killed, without any warning.

It was as if they had suddenly disappeared from this world, without warning, without information, and when they reappeared, they were cold, dry corpses.

Not only was nothing found from the bodies of the victims, but it was impossible to infer even the time of their murder.

The only thing that can be judged is that they were all killed during the time they disappeared.

For this case, Yu Xue did not stop for a moment, even if he went to squat at night, he didn't find anything, and the case still happened.

For this reason, he also boiled out dark circles under his eyes, and his brows never relaxed for a moment.

Even if you can't resist the sleepiness and fall asleep, you will still think about this case in your dreams.
