"Lakeside has a much older history than Mill Town."

The two chatted all over the world. Of course, I didn't forget to do the right thing - to find Old Glenn. It's a pity that the boat came all the way and didn't see anything.

"As far as I can remember," said Jules, "it seems that more than thirty years ago, when I was a child, in that part of Mill Town, in the middle of nowhere, only a few hunters would go there, and a few beekeepers would live there. ”

"My mom told me stories about beekeepers," she says. Say yes, that's them. Later, it seems that a major change occurred, and I don't know exactly what it is. How big is it - the army is coming. I also saw armoured vehicles and tanks passing by Lakeside Town. ”

After a pause, he added, "By the way, there seems to be an earthquake." It's been so long ago that I can't remember it exactly. ”

"Then the town was built." She said: "My family is a police family. My dad was a police officer, and so was my grandfather. For a long time, people in Lakeside were forbidden to go to Mill Town, and my dad warned me that if I went there, I would be eaten by the devil. ”

"Of course, now it seems that it is just to scare the child. But there are some things about the mill town that can be confusing. For example, eight years ago, there was a craze for pets in Mill Town, and five years ago it suddenly stopped keeping pets. What the hell happened, I once asked Duke and he didn't say. ”

She was particularly interested, and said, "I have heard some old people say that pets are kept in Mill Town as sacrifices to the devil. It's ridiculous to think about, where did the devil come from in this world? ”

"And." "I've heard that the mill town is used to using propane as an energy source," she says. It may save some money, but I think it will be even higher if you include the cost of transportation, and it is not cost-effective at all. I can't understand why Milltown would do this. ”

Chang Wei didn't understand much, he said: "I have been in Mill Town for less than three months, and I don't know much about the past things in Mill Town. ”

"Huh?" Jules was stunned: "Three months? ”

Chang Wei said: "That's right. ”

Jules was curious: "You transferred from the police station in another town?" ”

Chang Wei smiled: "No, it's the first time to be a policeman." ”

"That's pretty good." Jules exclaimed: "Do you know how many years I worked as a police officer when I became a deputy sergeant? ”

"Five years?"

"Eight years!" Jules said: "I'm a little jealous of you. ”

As he was talking, Chang Wei looked into the distance and saw a lonely boat floating on the shore of the lake, and couldn't help but say, "Jules, look at that boat." ”

Jules turned his head and looked, "Let's go over and have a look." ”

Immediately turned the rudder and headed for the small boat.

It's dusk.

Not far from a family pier by the lake, one of those made of a row of planks, a small boat swayed with the waves.

Jules drove the boat to the vicinity, and Chang Wei leaned over and grabbed the anchor rope of the boat floating in the water and pulled the boat over.

I saw buckets, fishing rods, beer bottles, and a few dead fish in the boat.

"Looks like we've found it." Chang Wei said.

"Something happened to old Glenn." Jules sighed and looked around at the lake.

Chang Wei suddenly said: "Jules, I want a hook." ”

Jules didn't know why, but he still handed Chang Wei the hook on the boat. Chang Wei held the side of the boat in one hand and the hook in the other, and probed to remove a disgusting skeleton from under Old Glenn's boat!

Jules screamed in fright and retreated, almost falling headlong over the side of the ship. Thanks to Chang Wei's hand, he quickly grabbed her.

"It's... This..."Jules patted his chest and gasped for air: "This is..."

"A corpse." Chang Wei squatted down and observed carefully: "There is still fascia attached to the bones, and the time of death is no more than twelve hours." Jules, if I'm not mistaken, this is old Glenn. ”

This skeleton is terrifying. Bai Sensen's bones were still stained with blood mixed with mucus, and the periosteum on the bone joints was attached, and the eyeballs in the eye sockets were half missing, and the other was nothing.

Chang Wei looked at the corpse's hands intensively, the bones of the hands were almost all fruity, but between the corners and fingers, there was still some flesh and skin attached. Looking at the edges of the flesh, there are rows of tooth marks.

"It was eaten by something." Chang Wei said: "Very powerful thing." ”

And again, "It was eaten alive." You see his fascia, it is very tight, from the shape of the joints of his limbs, the way of exerting the force, he is still struggling before he takes his last breath. ”

"Say no more!"

Jules's face was pale, and he was disgusted.

"I've never seen such a horrible corpse!" She turned her face away, gasping for breath for a long time, "You mean he was eaten alive by some creature?" ”

She didn't ignore Chang Wei's words before.

"That's right." Chang Wei pointed to some obvious places on Old Glenn's skeleton and said, "He died a miserable death. ”

He asked, "Jules, what are the ferocious creatures in Lake Victoria?" Is there a record? ”

"Nope." Jules took a breath: "No. Never. There has never been a case of death from an attack by a lake creature. ”

"Then this..."Chang Wei pointed to the skeleton: "I'm afraid we need to investigate it carefully." ”

After a pause, he looked at the deep lake and said, "Tomorrow is the tourist festival, Jules, we have to be careful." If something happens, it is difficult to explain with the popularity of the tourism festival. ”

Jules was stunned at once. She hadn't had time to think about the festival yet. Now that I was reminded by Chang Wei, I didn't feel my heart beating. If there really is some cannibalistic creature in the lake, what will happen to tomorrow's tourism festival?!

She thought about it with a splitting headache and said, "Chang, you know, the tourism festival is imperative." ”

"I know. I just hope that Glenn Sr.'s death is an exception. Chang Wei understands Jules very well. How much energy does the annual tourism festival cost Lakeside Town? They have been preparing for this for at least a few months. And a large number of tourists have already arrived. It's hard to ride a tiger.

"Let's do the autopsy first." Jules sighed: "At least I have to find out the cause of old Glenn's death before I can make a decision." ”

This skeleton must not be exposed in front of people, otherwise it will hit the atmosphere of the tourism festival. So Jules called Booker and asked him to drive over with a body bag.

Soon, Booker arrived.

When I saw the skeleton, I almost threw it out. After learning about the situation, Booker was also blinded.

"If there really are some ferocious creatures, what are we going to do tomorrow?"

Jules propped his forehead, his brow difficult to soothe.

Chang Wei suddenly said: "Jules, do you remember what Wilde said that the Earthquake Bureau will send divers to check tomorrow?" ”

Jules's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Let's go, go back to the police station." I need to urge the Earthquake Bureau to get their people to come early. ”
