Chapter 486: Murder in a Small Town
An alarm clock goes off. Immediately after, a young Asian man got up from a bed. Brush your teeth, wash your face, have breakfast. Then he put on a casual suit and walked out of the house. Looks like an ordinary office worker.
Walk into the garage, a Mustang buggy, parked there. And there are traces of modification on the car, and the overall cost is expensive. The car drove out of the garage and headed straight for the city.
It is said to be an urban area, but in fact it can only be regarded as a small town. In Texas, USA, such small towns abound. The car drove straight to the town's police station. Park the car and say hello to the old man in the parking lot. The man walked straight to the police station. It looks like he's working at the police station. It's just that he didn't wear any insignia or anything like a police badge on his body.
"Good morning, Caitlin. I received your message. Can you elaborate on that? ”
Caitlin is apparently a female police officer. Tall and sun-skinned, she indicates that she is a Latino. Sexy and hot Catherine is clearly the focus of the entire police department. But Catherine thinks very highly of herself, so in addition to work problems. The vast majority of the male compatriots who came forward to talk to each other were all defeated. But she always had a different view of the young consultant.
Yes, the young Asian man is a police counselor. This is a common phenomenon in the U.S. police department. And his essential work is that he is a well-known best-selling author. In the United States, where fantasy literature is prevalent. There are some pretty large readerships. It's just that very few people in the town know his identity. The young female police officer apparently knew something.
Later, Caitlin's identity was also vaguely revealed. Obviously, this sexy and beautiful female police officer has a rather deep background. The reason why I came to this town is probably just to accumulate grassroots experience. Whether it is at home or abroad, this kind of grassroots work experience is a kind of qualification when it is operated well.
"The same case arose again. The deceased was torn apart by some kind of beast, and the entrails were dug up. The point is, it all happened in a residential area. If there's a bear or something like that. It is impossible not to make the slightest movement. ”
"Maybe a wolf. You know, they're natural hunters. In an instant, you can bite your opponent's throat. It is also understandable that the deceased could not make a sound. ”
"You know it's not. I don't know exactly what happened. But I know that all this is definitely not what the beast is called. And I know that you're the same as I think, Lin. It's just that you haven't expressed this opinion publicly. That's why I hired you as a police consultant. ”
"...... at least let's go to the scene of the crime first."
An ordinary residential area, at this time, the entire kitchen of the house, has turned into hell. Blood was spilled in almost every corner. A corpse lay in the middle of the kitchen. Several forensic-looking staff members examine the body.
"There is no doubt that the deceased was killed by some kind of beast. It's just that the process is a little strange. The deceased was supposed to be cooking at the time. The beast approached from behind him. Knock him to the ground. Or rather, he didn't fall down, and when he was standing, he bit his throat directly. This also explains why the blood splatters so badly. ”
"What kind of beast is it?" Caitlyn asked.
"That's the problem. I can't make an accurate judgment. The most likely is the bear. But you see, this corridor behind the deceased is quite narrow, and there is also a hanger. If it is a bear, it is impossible to approach the deceased silently. Bears are very clever hunters. But not to that extent. ”
"Is it possible that a wolf?"
"It's also possible. But again, there is a huge loophole. Judging by the bloodstains at the scene. We can imagine a tragic picture. A huge beast bit the throat of the deceased and tossed it around until the entire neck was completely broken, and the deceased had lost the last of its strength to resist. Then start eating. ”
"A wolf can bite the throat of a dead person. But in order to do this, the wolf must have at least the body of an adult lion. Again, this is not possible. ”
"How many wolves are combined? Not all wolves come in packs. We're just some coyotes here. Far from the wolves on the prairie, that kind of delicate coordination. ”
"You've said so much, what the hell are you doing?"
"All I can say is that the deceased was killed by a giant beast. But it is impossible to tell what exactly. I need to do further testing, with the cooperation of other departments, to try to find some clues from the wounds of the deceased. We can analyze the saliva of the murderer. But that takes time. ”
"Then as soon as possible."
After the medical examiner is gone. Caitlin turned her gaze to the advisor to the side.
"Lin, what do you think?"
"It was clear that he had been killed by a beast the size of a lion. This is a matter for animal management. We're ready to wrap up. ”
"His wife and children will be home this afternoon. How do you want me to speak to them? Tell them about your husband, your father was bitten to death by an unknown beast in the kitchen? ”
"So what do you think. Caitlin, there's something wrong with you from the previous case. Your emotions are quite unstable. What are you expecting? What do you want to discover? ”
"Lin, you are a very smart person. The smartest person I've ever met. We haven't been working together for long. But in almost all cases, you can get to the center right the first time. Don't you feel that something is wrong with this case? ”
"I'm a writer and I'm able to help with cases because of the richness of my imagination. And, I have a sense of what you say, Caitlin. What exactly do you want to say? ”
Catelyn stared into the other's eyes, and finally let out a dejected sigh of relief.
"I'm sorry, I'm just reminded of some old things. It's me who lost my temper. Let's close the team. ”
There have been two cases of vicious deaths in a row in the town. Naturally, this caused a large number of onlookers. Don't think that the US imperialists' melon-eating masses are small, something really happened, and the same piles appeared.
The young advisor walked out of the scene and walked to the car. And in the crowd of onlookers, a pair of eyes were staring at him. That kind of eyes, as if they want to swallow people. If you look closely, you will even find that he has begun to drool. The Asian man not far away, he had a fatal attraction in him.
For this white man, it was like a man who had been hungry for two days and two nights and saw a sumptuous meal. I can't help it, I almost pounce on it.
And the young adviser seemed to sense something. He glanced back, and among the dozens of people, he accurately found the man who was spying on him.
He frowned, but didn't react in any way. Instead, I hurriedly got into the car. Just now, he felt a throbbing pain in his body. It's as if the entire internal organs are about to burst out.
"Damn, it's another seizure."
