Chapter 5: Peeling Back the Dots
According to Kevin, the bodies of the first few victims had been disposed of, and there was no particular reason for this, considering that it was summer, and the daily temperature was quite high, and the finance office in charge of appropriating funds in Kailan Town did not give the garrison as much money to build a freezer.

In fact, even if there is enough money, Kevin will not build it, with so much money, it is better to buy a few more pieces of equipment, building a cold storage can add a large number of new equipment to the garrison, and then there is no need to be as timid as now, and if you encounter a monster, you have to let outsiders help.
Based on the above reasons, the body that was first found had been placed for a few days and had begun to decompose, and the family of the deceased wanted to send the body back for burial, so in the end, only the latest three victims remained, which is the result of a lot of talk between Kevin and those family members, otherwise it may not be what will happen.
After listening to Kevin's words, although Watson had some regrets, he could only choose to be silent, better than nothing, and finally he followed Kevin to the basement of the garrison.
Because it is a place where the corpses are placed, the basement is exceptionally clean, after all, if there is any epidemic because of the decay of the corpses, it is really a big accident.
"Floss, open the door for us, we need to go in and examine the body. β
Kevin walked in front of Watson and patted the policeman who was sitting in front of a door in the basement napping, and at the same time took off two pairs of gloves and two masks from the table next to him with his right hand, turned his head and handed one to Watson, and said: "Although the quality is not very good, it can still play a role, make do with it." β
Watson didn't refuse, reached out and took the gloves and mask to put on himself, and walked through the door of the morgue that had been opened by the guards.
As soon as he stepped in, Watson could smell the rotting smell of dead bodies, although it was blocked by the mask, it still made people feel a little pungent, Kevin had already lifted a few curtains in front of him and walked in, Watson naturally did not stop and followed without hesitation.
Broken, this is the word that instantly popped into Watson's mind after seeing the corpse for the first time, the split chest, the hollowed out abdomen and the twisted corpse made these corpses look quite impactful, and Watson felt fortunate that he had seen a lot of corpses in the past two years, so he was still able to maintain his composure and not expose his ugliness in front of his client.
What Watson didn't know was that Kevin had been observing his reaction since he came in, as a garrison sergeant, Kevin still had his own set of ways to look at people, and after seeing that the indifferent expression on Watson's face had not loosened, he also nodded unconsciously, and raised his status and ability in his heart.
"What kind of monster does this look like? I've been a police officer in Kailan for many years, and I've had the occasional perverted murderer before, but I've never seen anyone so perverted as to bite someone's neck and tear the victim's body with his bare hands. β
Kevin approached the corpse of one of the men, pointed to the large wound on his chest, which was obviously torn open, turned his head and frowned at Watson.
Watson stepped forward as well, but instead of looking at the large wound on his chest, he used his thumb and forefinger to compare slightly to the scratches on the corpse's abdomen that extended diagonally to the left side of his chest. Demon hunters have a lot of knowledge about the attack methods and preferences of various monsters, so Watson has some guesses in his heart after comparison, but it's just a guess, so it still needs to be verified.
"Although there are many monsters in this world, there are not many who like to eat people, among which the representative ones are werewolves, vampires, scavengers, ogres, heart-slashers, trolls, claw monsters, undead spirits, petrified lizards and manic baboons. Trolls, petrified lizards, and manic baboons don't like noisy environments, and according to the victims mentioned in your quest scroll and what you just said, these victims are found in the town, so the above three are impossible. β
Watson said, picking up the corpse's twisted arm and glancing at the arm bones that had punctured the skin and exposed to the air.
"Judging from the damage to the corpse's arm, the killer needed to have a lot of force to easily break the arm bones of an adult male, and also to inflict a powerful impact. In this way, the Mind Snatcher, who likes to sneak attack, and the scavenging beast, which only likes to eat carrion, are excluded. β
As he spoke, Watson looked around at the two corpses next to him, and instead of looking closely, he took a cursory look at their whole bodies and touched their skin.
"Ogres like to eat people's limbs, but several corpses here are intact, but the abdominal cavity is hollowed out, so it is not the troll that did it, and the blood of people killed by vampires is generally sucked out of a part, which causes the victim's skin to dry up, but this also does not appear on these corpses, so vampires rule it out. The undead like to eat human brains, so naturally they are not within the scope of the murderer. β
Watson was still observing and talking about the corpse, while Kevin, who was standing next to him, was already a little dumbfounded.
"In the end, there are only two possibilities, werewolves and claw monsters! the former can maintain their human form under normal circumstances, and only turn into monsters when the desire to kill is aroused, and the latter prefer to stay in the sewers, which are dark places filled with sludge and sewage. They feed in a similar way, coming out at regular intervals to feed, and most of the time they only eat the guts of their prey...... The most important thing is that they never know what is enough to do. β
After Watson finished saying this, he deliberately looked at Kevin, who was convinced next to him, and couldn't help but think that it was quite beneficial to memorize so much information, at least it could enhance these people's trust in themselves.
"I think I know what kind of monster the murderer is, werewolf...... Definitely a werewolf!"
Kevin said with certainty.
"Why? Werewolves and Claw monsters can cause the results they have now. β
Watson wondered how Kevin had managed to get rid of the Claw.
"Because we don't have sewers at all, the area gets pretty even rain throughout the year, and there is no rainy season with a lot of rainfall, so the mayor didn't order the town's sewers. β
Kevin stretched out his finger and pointed underground, and said in a somewhat urgent tone.
"I see, but I was a little negligent. β
Watson smiled and admitted that Kevin's guess was correct, in fact, he had already guessed that he just didn't say it, and sometimes he had to make others feel his role in order to make it easier for them to support themselves.
"Now that you know what the murderer is, is there a way for your Excellency to find it, and do you need any assistance?"
The progress of the case made Kevin a little excited, thinking that he might have to face an evil werewolf in the future, he didn't have too much panic in his heart, but more of a sense of adventure, just like ordinary people suddenly heard that some strange monster appeared where, and their first reaction was definitely not to run, but to go up and take a few looks, and then consider whether to escape.
"I do need your help, the leather armor I was wearing was damaged from the previous battle and is still being repaired, so I hope you can provide me with a set of leather armor, I think you can always be prepared for one or two sets of leather armor in the garrison of dozens of you, after all, when hunting down professional criminals, you can't just wear uniforms made of cloth to fight them. β
Watson never forgot what Murray told him before he came, the equipment of the demon hunter still has to be solved by himself, and now there is no shortage of weapons on his body, but there is nothing such as leather armor and other armor, just wearing ordinary clothes, but the next thing to face is the werewolf, a half-human and half-beast savage monster, physical contact is naturally essential, even if the physique has been strengthened a lot in the past two years because of the soul energy absorbed, but if he goes to fight against these monsters, Watson is still quite self-aware, so on the way here, he thought about finding the sergeant of the garrison to ask for a set of equipment, so that he would not go into battle nakedγ
"Hmm...... Although there are indeed a few pieces of leather armor in the garrison, ...... After all, this is a public thing, and if there is no good reason, I can't give it away casually. β
Kevin's speech was a little slurred, but the general meaning of the expression Watson still understood, that is, you didn't have any sincerity, and it was too much to want to take away a set of leather armor with a few words.
"Oh, of course I won't take it for nothing, I'll give you the head of that werewolf, and if you want, the wolf skin on it can also give you these very precious things, because I don't know how to skin and I don't want to waste too much time here, so if you want, this can be considered a deal, how about it?"
Of course, Watson would not make unprepared requests, he thought of these conditions on the way here, the head of the werewolf is undoubtedly something to brag about in the office for a small town garrison sergeant, there are always times when a man needs to drink wine and brag to his friends about the heroic achievements of the year, and the werewolf skin is indeed more useful, and it can be sold for a good price in the market only if the whole werewolf skin is intact.
β...... I'll go get you the leather armor later, and I'll send two men with you to help you with the little things and find the bastard. β
Kevin immediately expressed his attitude after thinking about it when he heard that it was good, as a hard-core man, the head of a monster is undoubtedly quite an attractive bargaining chip for him, but I don't know how the werewolf who has never appeared before he knows how he would feel if he knew that there were two men here who had already split their bodies before they met.
Kevin said that he did, and after asking about Watson's height and other general data, he immediately sent someone to get a new set of leather armor and put it in front of Watson, who had returned to the second floor of the garrison, and asked him to change into leather armor in the small room next to him to see if it fit.
