Chapter XXXVIII: Frequent Cases Occur
Lao Lu's daughter was eventually determined to have been attacked by an unknown beast while taking a bath, and then eaten by the beast. As for what kind of beast it was, and why the corpse was on the other side of the river, no one knows.
Her funeral was simple and grand, and almost everyone in the whole town attended, especially the bachelors, who cried one by one, and the goddess in their hearts died like this, which broke their hearts.
After this, it slowly faded away, except for a sigh that I couldn't help but mention after dinner, there was no wave in the hearts of the people in the town. After all, surviving in the wild, any accident can happen, and over the years, too many people have died, and many have made everyone numb.
The days were quiet again, and the people of the town were supposed to do whatever they wanted, and continued to live their lives as usual.
However, two days later, someone disappeared in the town again, this time the missing person was called Lao Cao, a man in his 50s, who also went out to pick tea early in the morning, and then did not come back.
"Hell, when are we going to find out on such a hot day?" A police officer waved his hat and fanned himself while whining.
Zuo Fei was also hot, he squatted on the edge of a small pond, washed his face with a towel dipped in water, looked at the scorching sun in the sky, pouted and said: "Look for it, it's all from the villagers, if you find it, you can also let him settle down." ”
Another officer unbuttoned the collar and whispered, "When will you find it?" We have turned over a radius of 5 kilometers, and we haven't found a single one. ”
Zuo Fei stood up, put the wet towel around his neck, felt the coolness of this moment, and said helplessly: "Look for it, if you can't find it in 5 kilometers, you will go to a farther place to find it." You have to find it, or you won't be able to explain it to your companions when you go back. ”
With that, the five of them got on the road and continued to look farther away.
It wasn't until sunset that they planned to go home with nothing, and the five of them were talking and laughing on the road, when suddenly a police officer said, "Wait a minute, I'll pee." ”
After speaking, he lifted his pants and walked to the side of the road to pee, and while peeing, he said comfortably: "It's really happy, what is more refreshing than a soak of happy pee?" Forehead? What is that...... Left...... Left Team ...... Take a look. ”
When the police officer suddenly turned his gaze to the grass, he suddenly saw a pile of bones in the grass, and he was so frightened that he didn't even notice that he was urinating on his pants, and immediately shouted out in panic.
Zuo Fei heard his cry, hurriedly walked to his side, and saw a pile of bones quietly piled up in the grass not far from him. This skeleton looked like a human skeleton, it was still fresh, and there were still blood streaks on the minced meat on it, and it was obvious that it had been eaten for less than 1 day. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been preserved so well, there are a lot of wild dogs nearby, and once they find it, they will definitely disappear cleanly.
The flesh on the bones was eaten cleanly, like the flesh and bones that a man had gnawed, and even the eyeballs in the skull were gouged out and eaten. The only place where there was skin on the entire skeleton was on the scalp, an empty skull covered with a piece of scalp, no wonder the officer was frightened. Zuo Fei took out a pair of disposable rubber gloves and put them on his hands, squatted down to pick up the skull, and after looking at it carefully, he said in a deep voice: "A hole was cut on the top of the head, the brains were sucked up, and almost all the edible meat on the body was eaten." Judging by the tooth marks, it should be the same beast that attacked Lao Lu's daughter, if not the same one. ”
Another police officer's eyes suddenly lit up, picked up a snuff box on the ground and said: "Look, this snuffbox belongs to Lao Cao, the last time we drank together in the bar, he also took it out to show off, it was a good thing he exchanged for 20 catties of tea from the merchant." ”
Zuo Fei's face sank, since he found Lao Cao's snuffbox, then the owner of this skeleton doesn't need to guess to know who it is, it is the missing Lao Cao.
Within 3 days, two people were killed, which is no longer a trivial matter, Zuo Fei said in a deep voice: "Go back and have a meeting, mobilize all the villagers, and be sure to find out this beast." ”
As he spoke, he picked up a large plastic bag and carefully put Lao Cao's bones into it piece by piece, and then he carefully searched the surroundings to make sure that there was nothing left, and then tied the mouth of the plastic bag well, and then carried it back on his back.
It's just that everyone didn't notice that just as they were observing Lao Cao's corpse, in a bush not far away, a pair of cold eyes were staring at them coldly at this time. These bloodshot eyes are full of the desire to kill, and the light of wisdom.
When Zuo Fei and the others returned to Yuehu Town, they found that the atmosphere inside seemed to be a little wrong, and the usually peaceful and quiet town had a more serious and dull feeling today. It feels like the feeling of depression when zombies strike at any time after a disaster.
Zuo Fei grabbed a passer-by and asked eagerly, "Aunt Xiuhua, what's going on?" Why doesn't the atmosphere in the town feel right? ”
Aunt Xiuhua looked at the plastic bag that Zuo Fei was carrying, shook her head gently, sighed and said, "Lao Cao found it?" Today, when you went out to look for Lao Cao, two more people died in the town, and they were in the tea garden, and they were also eaten by something. The rest of the cops in your police station have just cleaned up over there, miserable...... That Xiaofang just married Kuroko last month, and she died today, and the child she was pregnant with for 5 months in her belly was exposed like this, and half of her body was eaten. Zuo Fei, what do you say you did? How do you pick people to eat? This is too evil, and the people in the town are panicking now. ”
After spending some time and comforting the frightened Aunt Xiuhua, Zuo Fei returned to the police station with a gloomy face. A police officer was arranged to deliver Lao Cao's body to his home, while he himself sat at his desk and smoked a smoking.
If something like this happens once or twice, he can think that some beast is attacking people, but if something like this happens four times in three days, it would be too strange. You know, the average beast can be a few days, or even a week after a full meal, but all beasts have their own territorial awareness, if there is one here, unless it is a male and a female, there will be no other beasts.
Therefore, if one person dies, if two people die, he will suspect that it was a beast, and if he can die 4 people in a row, it will definitely not be a beast. So what could it be? Zuo Fei pondered and meditated to no avail.
