Chapter 570: The Root of Mutation

After surveying the scene, it was not too early, but I still decided to take a look around the surrounding woods to see if I could find any clues of the "monster".

Captain Guo didn't worry about me, so he had to arrange for two police officers to follow me. Unexpectedly, Xiao Man heard about it and wanted to follow.

"We're originally specialized in animals, and there's never a chance like this, so I'm going to follow you!"

"You know, that's dangerous!" I say.

"I'm not afraid of danger, if I can see it with my own eyes...... The so-called giant hornet, I feel like I have no regrets in dying! What's more, the survivor just said that as long as you sit on the ground and don't move, the monster won't attack people, so ...... The hornet's habits are also very similar, so I'm sure I'll be able to save my life! ”

I secretly admired her sharp-mindedness, so I stopped talking and just looked at Captain Guo.

"I'm going too! I also want to see what kind of monster this is, and what it can ...... Looks exactly like Ma Feng! Yu Qiuhang also came over.

I was tempted to say something sarcastic, but when it came to my lips, I changed my words.

"I don't know where that monster flew, and even if we go out, we may not be able to find it!"

"If you can't find it, if you want to go out anyway, I'll follow!" Yu Qiuhang said.

Captain Guo sighed, had to explain to the deputy captain, and he personally took two police officers, plus the three of us, to go around the surrounding woods together.

It's a pity that after more than an hour, only a hornet's nest was found.

The hornet's nest hung on a large tree branch, and we looked at it for a long time with our necks tilted down, feeling that it was an ordinary hornet's nest, whose size was the size of a football, and it was naturally impossible to hide a wasp-like monster about the size of a chicken.

Seeing that the sky was about to darken, we could only go back to the courtyard of the Zhou family to meet, and then return to the county seat.

Captain Guo personally drove a police car, I sat in the passenger seat, and Yu Qiuhang and Xiao Man sat in the back seat and spoke in a low voice.

Captain Guo casually asked what they were discussing, and Xiao Man said, "I'm saying that if that monster really has something to do with the hornet, we know how to deal with it, and maybe we can find its nest!" ”

"This forest is so big! And Brother Gao said before that these monsters once appeared in country M, which means that the entire forest may be a place for them to nest, and to find them, I'm afraid it's not so easy! Captain Guo said.

Xiao Man didn't answer again, but Yu Qiuhang said: "I still can't believe that that thing will be related to the hornet, let's wait for the forensic results to come out tomorrow!" ”

I thought to myself that these two mean scholars who are dedicated to studying academics, when they encounter this extremely strange creature, I am afraid that the excitement is far greater than the fear for them, could it be that they want to form a team to go into the mountains to search for this monster?

My gut tells me they must be thinking this way, and I'm actually happy to walk with them. After all, they're zoologists, so it's certainly easier for me to find those "monsters" than I do.

And I still firmly believe that the monster that resembles a wasp in Qingsonggang and the humanoid monster that appeared in several villages such as Liupo and Heishankou should be genetic mutations due to some special factors.

In other words, as long as you can find a monster similar to a hornet, you can also find the person who "kills people and eats brains".

Shape a monster too.

Captain Guo was overwhelmed by several consecutive deaths, so he sent us directly to the best hotel in the county, and he rushed back to the police station to continue his work.

I had already stayed in this hotel two days earlier, and I was about to go upstairs to my room, but Xiao Man suddenly opened his mouth and asked me if I wanted to eat together.

I knew that Xiao Man wanted to reconcile with me, and in fact, I also wanted to ask them what they were going to do next, but I really didn't want to continue to face Qiu Hang's stinky face, so I thought about it for a while and still declined.

"I'm really tired today, or wait for tomorrow night, I'll invite you two more to dinner!"

"Okay, then we'll be waiting for you!" Xiao Man smiled.

After breaking up with him, I went back to the hotel to rest for a while, and when it was dark, I went downstairs again to find a place to have a casual meal, and then searched for some information about wasps on the Internet in the hotel.

The next day, we met again at the police station.

Forensic Doctor Li first handed us a document with a form filled in with some data.

To be honest, I can't understand it at all, but as soon as Xiao Man and Yu Qiuhang took it in their hands, they couldn't help but exclaim with "ah".

Xiao Man blurted out, "Can Forensic Doctor Li be sure?" ”

"Of course!" Forensic Doctor Li nodded solemnly, "Although it will take time for DNA identification, I have done two tests in a row, and they all show that the toxic components in this venom are almost exactly the same as those in the venom of cuckoo wasps!" ”

"But the cuckoo wasp is one of the smaller wasps, how can it be ......" Yu Qiuhang followed to answer, but before he finished speaking, he himself was stuck.

"Even the largest of the wasps, the Japanese hornet, is only four to five centimeters, so big that it is as big as a domestic chicken, no matter what kind of species it is, it is not normal!" Xiao Man answered softly.

Yu Qiuhang was even more speechless. Xiao Man glanced at me and said, "It seems that what Gao said yesterday is likely to be a genetic mutation, not nonsense!" ”

I nodded and smiled at her.

Xiao Man simply turned to look at me and asked me again: "But I don't know what kind of beast does Gao think the murderer has mutated in the previous cases where the brain marrow was eaten?" ”

I thought about it for a moment, and then said, "Maybe...... Not a beast, but a ...... Mankind! ”

"Humans? How is this possible? Yu Qiuhang shouted again.

"You can't say it's completely impossible, right?" Forensic Doctor Li took out another document, "This is the identification result just passed by the city bureau, which is the final identification of the DNA of the residues in the brains of the three deceased!" Their results proved that my previous identification was correct, and this DNA is more than 99.9% similar to human DNA, which basically confirms that it is a human who is likely to have some kind of strange disease! ”

Yu Qiuhang and Xiao Man stammered.

After a long time, Xiao Man asked again: "I don't know the police, what are you going to do?" ”

"Honestly, I don't know what to do right now!" Captain Guo shook his head with a wry smile, "Let's go into the mountains to search, but that forest is too big, even if you mobilize the people of the entire Yucui County to enter the mountains, it is just looking for a needle in a haystack!" Leave it alone, I don't know when these monsters will run out and harm people again! ”

Xiao Man nodded, and looked at me again.

"Then what are you going to do?

Why? You're an investigator of a difficult case, so you shouldn't let go of this case, right? ”

"Of course not!" I shook my head, "I've already informed a colleague of mine that he'll be over at noon today, so ...... Anyway, even if I'm looking for a needle in a haystack, I'm going to go into the forest and search it! ”

That's my truth. I believe that these two zoologists also want to team up to go into the forest to track the "monsters", and I will say it first, it would be best if they were willing to go with me, otherwise I would need to ask them for some professional knowledge.

Sure enough, Xiao Man's eyes lit up and said, "If you really want to go into the forest, can you take the two of us with you?" You can rest assured that we will not be a burden, but ...... Anyway, we're all about animals, and maybe we can help you find ...... A monster habitat much like a wasp! ”

Honestly, with the speed of that hornet, I think it's even more terrifying than the other humanoid monsters.

But if for the safety of these two zoologists, if they were not allowed to follow me into the mountain, first, they would probably still have to enter the mountain themselves, and second, without them accompanying them, just by me and Gao Lingkai searching in this vast forest, it would really be a needle in a haystack.

So I'm still telling the truth.

"To tell you the truth, I really hope that you can go with me, after all, your expertise will definitely help me, but I must first state that this operation is extremely dangerous, and I cannot guarantee the safety of both of you!"

"We're not afraid!" Xiao Man actually smiled, "Don't worry, we will definitely have more ways than you to deal with beasts and the like!" ”

As a zoologist, she would never be an exaggeration, so I nodded and said, "That's no problem, let's get ready this afternoon, and we'll be able to go into the mountain tomorrow!" ”

"Are you really going into the mountains? That's very, very dangerous! Once you are lost in the forest, even ...... Stung by that kind of wasp monster, there is no way to rescue us in time! Captain Guo said.

I don't speak, the lives of the two experts are involved, and I can only let them make their own statement.

Sure enough, Xiao Man and Yu Qiuhang said in unison, "We must go!" Opportunities like this are once in a lifetime for us who study animals, even if we get lost in the forest, we don't hesitate to do it! ”

Seeing that they had this determination, Captain Guo could only sigh and shake his head, and said, "Since that's the case, I'll apply for it later, and see if I can arrange a few special police officers to accompany you!" I hope you can have a result, or else...... I'm going to be crushed to death from above! ”

The matter was settled, and at noon Gao Lingkai really arrived, I thought that since we were going to enter the mountain together, it would be best to make the relationship a little more harmonious.

So I invited Xiao Man to have lunch with Yu Qiuhang, Yu Qiuhang felt bored and found an excuse to politely refuse, but Xiao Man happily found a restaurant with me and waited for Gao Lingkai to arrive.

As a result, as soon as Gao Lingkai came, when he saw Xiao Man's beauty, his eyes immediately lit up, and within a few minutes, he made Xiao Man laugh.

"Mr. Gao, your colleague has a much better personality than yours, not as arrogant as you, and will make us girls happy!" Xiao Man told me.

"He is a person with a wife, and he wants to make the girl happy, but he is afraid that he will be punished by his wife for kneeling on the washboard when he goes back!" Gao Lingkai immediately interfaced.
