Chapter 143: Clues
This was originally a safe passage, and there were many traces of scavengers camping on both sides of the road. Most of them are assigned by waste pickers' unions. But because of the cults, there are a lot fewer people here! Along the way, there were hardly any passers-by who were scavenging.
Ordinary scavengers are all afraid of cults, and those guys will really eat people without spitting out bones, which is not a metaphor but a literal meaning that is more terrible than a metaphor.
"Do you smell it?" Mu Chengfeng asked the two beside him. He smelled an ominous smell that made him uncomfortable.
"Hmmm! Smelled, in that place! "Beneath my feet were the marks of a burning bonfire, and not far away there was a visibly raised mound of earth.
"Dig it up and see? Maybe there will be the clues we want in it. Leaning down and twisting up a touch of broken soil, Lin Xiaoxi felt that the things in it were inseparable from the cult.
"Yu Lan, you get in the car first. The next job may not be very girl-friendly! ”
Glancing at Yu Lan, Mu Chengfeng opened the car door, and he had a vague guess that it might be that kind of thing inside.
"Not very friendly? How come there are dead people in it? My sister has seen a lot of dead people, okay? Will my sister be afraid? She raised her eyebrows disdainfully, as the daughter of a hunter, how could she be afraid of such a thing?
"You...... Really not afraid? ”
"I'm not afraid! Sister is not scared! Patting the slightly large-scale peak, Yu Lan raised his neck, and a pretty face looked like he was happy!
"Okay, then you go over and take a look twice, don't say I didn't remind you when the time comes......"
Stretched out a hand to make a gesture of please, since this woman insisted on doing so, then Mu Chengfeng simply did not stop. Death and life are fateful, you just go!
"Sister Lan, I really advise you once, you'd better not come over, otherwise...... Curiosity really kills cats! ”
Lin Xiaoxi also wanted to persuade Yu Lan, but this woman was already determined to take a look. The more you don't let some people see it, the more they want to see it!
For example, Yu Lan!
The first time she looked into the pit, she threw up. Some white bones were thrown in the dirt pit in a mess, and on top of the white bones were several rotten heads, dense white and fat insects writhed their bodies to chisel through the facial features of these people, Lin Xiaoxi gently lifted his hair, and lifted a large piece of scalp and pale yellow corpse water.
Vomit –
Covering his mouth and holding back his tears, Yu Lan hurriedly left this ghost place. Holding on to the car, he vomited heavily, until he couldn't vomit anymore and turned out the thick yellow stomach juice.
Patting Yu Lan on the back, Mu Chengfeng pulled out a small towel from the car and handed the towel to Yu Lan. "I told you, don't go over."
"Me! ...... vomit" Yu Lan, who just wanted to speak, inevitably retched again after smelling the rancid smell wafting over. "I'm so hard!"
"Brother Feng! What to do next, I can only be sure that this is another group of cultists who feed on people! Judging by the level of decay, they've been out of here for days! ”
"Where's the footprints?"
Lin Xiaoxi shook his head: "It's gone!" I can't see it anymore! ”
The investigation seems to be bogged down. "Let's look again, maybe there's something new!"
"And the bones?"
"Bury it well!"
The weeds in the wilderness have regained their brilliance after a long wait. Push these weeds away little by little, and maybe under their bodies, some clues lie there, quietly waiting for them to unearth!
"Brother Feng! Look at this! ”
"A pen?" Taking the fountain pen handed over by Lin Xiaoxi, Mu Chengfeng carefully observed: "It may be the relic of a certain victim, or it may be the belongings of a cultist." "We need more clues!"
"Shepherd rides the wind! Lin Xiaoxi, come here! Look here, something is very wrong! ”
Yu Lan, who found a new clue, hurriedly beckoned, and the two of them came over. Look at this seal!
"It's messy, it's nothing special!"
The roads are full of all sorts of intricate ruts, most of which were left behind by a team of waste pickers! Maybe the traces of those gangsters are mixed in, and it must be difficult to distinguish!
"So you have to let the pros do it!" "Look at these footprints!"
There was a dot on the dirt road, and it was a few shallow footprints, imprinted in the ruts on the black dirt road.
"This? Weird, isn't it? "It's not a mess of footprints along the road."
"Lin Xiaoxi, shut up!" Yu Lan glared at Lin Xiaoxi: "The guy who has more than enough success and more than failure, listen to my sister!" ”
"Yu Lan doesn't have to worry about him, you continue!"
Mu Chengfeng has already found clues in those footprints, and it turns out that these clues have always been there!
"Yes! Look at these! In a pile of messy footprints, Yu Lan took her nails and stripped out a few, "Look in this direction, this is there, right!" ”
Looking at Yu Lan's pointing, both of them nodded, it was the campsite where the bonfire had been burned.
"Although these footprints are messy, there are traces to follow." "Some of them were damaged by other people and cars, but ......"
Yu Lan paused and hooked the corners of his mouth: "We can still connect it into a line, and we can even find the rut marks that belong to the cultists, and we can know where he went by following the traces!" ”
"Awesome! Formmore! ”
"Formoran? What the hell is that? Yu Lan didn't understand, what nonsense was this Lin Xiaoxi talking about?
"So, just find a trace from these messy traces, right?" Mu Chengfeng has already started to do it.
"The footprints stop next to this wheel print, that is, they got off here?"
The rut mark is still noticeable, and it looks pretty new!
"Nope! Not this one! It should be a little bit later! Yu Lan shook his head and picked up a touch of hair that fell next to his ear, and analyzed it seriously and attentively: "It's definitely not this one!" Just imagine, how do you drag a person out of the car? ”
"Drag a person out of the car? If it were me, I think I'd go backwards first! ”
With his hands clasped between his chests, after Yu Lan's reminder, Lin Xiaoxi was relieved. It turns out that there is such a saying!
"So the wheel print has to be pushed forward a little more! That is, here, there are just a few retrograde footprints in the farthest place. Drawing these footprints, Yu Lan nodded with his fingers stained with dirt: "That is, here they should be pulling people out with their legs against the car!" "So the rut mark must be this one?"
"Is it possible for them to push people down directly?" Lin Xiaoxi raised a new question, but was vetoed by Mu Chengfeng on the spot. "Nope! Because there was no trace of slaughter at the scene! They were eaten directly on the barbecue, which means that this is not the first scene! ”
"Don't make a noise! I look at the traces of this rut in which direction they are going. ”
A little further along, there will be an intersection. "So it's just a matter of determining which intersection they went from?"
"That's not right! They turned back! Yu Lan, who was seriously investigating, suddenly exclaimed!
