Chapter Eighty-Six: The Dead and the Clues
After the afternoon game began, the enthusiastic cheerleaders shouted hard in the audience.
Zhou Duan came on the field with the players, and he asked for a defender, who originally thought that with Rice as a striker, he had almost no pressure.
But Bobby's physicality surprised Zhou Duan, and he didn't perform as well as Rice in this game, one of the reasons was Bobby's defense.
Everyone else went to defend Rice, only Poppy kept staring at him, which made Zhou Duan laugh a little.
Is this revenge for your own prank at Daddy's Bar?
Watching Les drown in the sea of cheerleaders, Zhou Duan said that it was impossible not to envy.
"Cole." Corson walked up from the side, "Would you like to have a drink?" ”
"Nope." Zhou Duan refused, and today he wanted to go to the back mountain to have a look.
He thought that maybe the completion of task two would depend on the mountain.
Not far away, Poppy was staring at Zhou Duan, his eyes full of solemnity.
Maybe Zhou Duan didn't realize that from the beginning of the temptation, Bobby had gradually revealed a physical fitness far beyond ordinary people.
And what made him unbelievable was that Zhou Duan had completely kept up with his rhythm, you know, in the end, he had taken out all his abilities.
That's enough to say a lot.
Zhou Duan's departure didn't attract a lot of attention, but Ron was a little absent-minded all day today.
Because Dave is gone, due to Ron's own personality, Dave can be said to be his only lover for so many years.
So her disappearance made Ron very uncomfortable.
He searched all the places Dave could have been, but found nothing.
When he came out of somewhere, he suddenly found the town's police car parked in the black pine forest north of the town.
A crowd gathered around to watch as the police carried a large black bag out of the black pine forest.
"What happened?"
Ron asked.
"It seems that someone died here last night, and I heard that it was scorched by lightning."
Next to the police car, Sergeant Andrey listened to the forensic report at the scene with some gloom.
"Are you sure the fatal wound appeared before the char?"
The doctor nodded: "If it is after, the wound should be a very regular lumpy wound, but the edge of the wound here is a completely smooth plane, and it is obvious that someone was shot into the body with a mechanical device before he died. ”
Forensic doctors did not consider the possibility of manpower.
"So we need to start with the murder weapon?"
"A device with this power can't be small." The forensic doctor is sure of authenticity.
But Ron, who was on the side, saw a familiar item in the officer's evidence bag.
"This is? How can it be? ”
Ron broke into the border line.
"Please back off!" The officers stopped Ron in time.
"Let me see the ring."
Ron pointed to a police officer who was gathering evidence.
Zhou Duan on the other side had already come to the entrance of the back mountain at this time, and with his eyesight, he couldn't see ten meters away.
This place is several times more evil than yesterday.
Zhou Duan felt that this might be the reason for a "non-normal person" like himself, after all, Elena didn't feel abnormal for so many years.
He looked up a little about the story of the mountain, which was a cemetery decades ago and then shelved for environmental reasons.
And there is also a strange church in the mountain, which I have not seen at all before.
Along the mountain road, Zhou Duan still did not see any traces of it in the original location of the church.
That's a bit unscientific.
And except for the waterfall over there, which is a little incredible, the rest of the mountain is normal.
In addition, Zhou Duan found that there were already fierce beasts on the mountain, and on the way he met an adult brown bear.
It stands to reason that so close to the town, these beasts should have been cleared a long time ago.
Back at the waterfall, Zhou Duan sat by the lake and began to think about what the Flame Girl message in Mission 2 meant, which was that he needed to help someone awaken the flame ability.
Or find a woman with the ability to fire?
"Elena, I'm going to have a bonfire tonight, remember to come, and ......" Natasha looked at Elena and her "boyfriend".
This is a solemn introduction by Elena, they are just good friends of the opposite sex.
"I'll be there."
"Me too." Les nodded.
"It was a great game." A voice that made Rice's brow furrow rang out in the crowd.
"Who is this?"
Elena looked at Xavier, who was dressed well, and said to Les, confused.
"It's an honor to meet you, beautiful young lady, my name is Xavier."
Xavier ignored Rice's ugly face and greeted Elena.
"Xavier, what are you doing here?"
"My dear brother, of course, to see your victory." Xavier added an accent to the word victory.
"Then you see it." Elena also saw something wrong between the two brothers, and spoke in time to ease the atmosphere.
"Your friends are much more polite than you are." Xavier smiled, "By the way, I heard there's a party tonight?" ”
Without waiting for Natasha to answer, Les rushed to Xavier and said in a cold voice, "No matter what the party, it has nothing to do with you. ”
Xavier didn't care about the stall: "I guess this party has nothing to do with you, does it?" ”
With a charming look at Natasha.
"Of course." Natasha nodded, "This party is completely open and anyone can attend. ”
"Do you hear that?" Xavier demonstrated towards Rice, then left under the watchful eyes of several people, "Then everyone, see you in the evening." ”
"You shouldn't have let him ......"
Les looked at Natasha with a serious expression.
"Rice, although you are a good friend of Elena, it is everyone's right to attend the party." After Natasha finished speaking, she didn't give Les a chance to explain, and left directly.
It seems that he is a little dissatisfied with Rice's blocking.
Elena looked at Les and said with relief, "Do you have a bad relationship with your brother?" ”
Les watched as Elena opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
When Elena saw this scene, she was a little puzzled.
"Elena, between me and Xavier, it's much more complicated than the average person, I hope you understand......"
"Of course, don't forget the party in the evening."
Elena said indifferently on her face.
"I'll go."
Hosting a banquet is the best choice to spend time, and attending a banquet is second only to holding a banquet.
Zhou Duan, who had nothing to do in the back mountain, was also invited to participate in the party because of the basketball players.
I have to say that the wine in Xuelan Town still tastes good, and although the drinks at the banquet are age-restrictive, they won't stop drinking.
"Cole, why haven't you been with Linda lately?" As the host of the banquet, Natasha's close-fitting dress tonight showed off her perfect figure all.
Linda in Natasha's mouth was a "medicine friend" before Zhou Duan.
"Maybe I've found something else to enjoy." Zhou Duan and Natasha clinked glasses.
Actually, Natasha doesn't mind starting a date with Zhou Duan, but the other party seems to be too familiar with her beauty.
"I hope you can have a nice party."
"Of course."
After the banquet in Beihai City, Zhou Duan was also familiar with the process of the banquet.
It's just that the banquet held by these high school students is more modest, everyone just eats and drinks, and also provides an excuse for dating.
Because there are many banquets, the frequency of breakups between couples is also very high.
For this kind of dewy relationship, Zhou Duan has a noncommittal attitude.
The banquet was held in a place near the river, and at night the sky was overturned, and the stars were shining in the river.
Not far away is a forest on the opposite side.
Zhou Duan walked to a grill and enjoyed the scenery while tasting the food.
"Ahh
Suddenly, there was an exclamation from the river ahead.
Quite a few people have heard it.
Zhou Duan immediately got up and walked over to the river.
It's just that it's late, and when he arrived at the scene, Zhou Duan only saw a thick tail slapping the waves, and then submerged in the water.
"What happened?" It was Rice who asked.
Xavier looked at Zhou Duan with interest.
"It's supposed to be a crocodile."
Zhou Duan thought back to the physical characteristics of the creatures he saw.
"How is it possible, this is an artificial river, even snakes are rare, how can there be crocodiles?"
"No, there seem to have been a lot of similar beast incidents around the town lately."
"Who's the one who doesn't see?"
Natasha walked over with a calm face, it was obvious that this kind of thing at her banquet would have an effect on her.
"It's Jack and Mina."
Zhou Duan knew the person named Jack, who was still his classmate, and the other one didn't know.
"Did anyone call the police?"
Only then did everyone remember to call the police.
The police soon arrived at the scene, briefly recorded a statement and then cordoned off the scene.
Zhou Duan thought of the name of this world he saw when he first entered this world: mysterious revival.
