Chapter 24: Showing the Horse's Feet
When the sun sets, when the last rays of light and heat of the sun disappear on the top of the mountain, Wang Shicun seems to fall into silence, even colder than during the day.
"Captain, it's around 5:35, and I still haven't found anything abnormal here, what should I do?" Si Guilong stood by the pond and said with a contact chip.
"Carry out the original order, don't be discovered, and at the same time I got information from Zhang Gong, they have an event tonight, welcome the villagers who have returned from hunting, and have also invited us, and I will inform you to come back." Li Jiajie sat in the thatched hut and said.
On the other side, Dai Yin was still monitoring Zhang Gong and the others.
"I have a hunch, tonight, he will be unable to sit still, waiting for the dinner party, you improvise, these villagers are definitely not going hunting, you pay more attention to the traces of the villagers when you search." Li Jiajie continued.
Around eight o'clock in the evening, the village east square.
"Oh, brother, you're here, come and find a place to sit!" "Ah Kun" greeted him with a smile and motioned for Dai Yin and Li Jiajie to join.
The two sat cross-legged in place around the faint electric light in the center of the square, Li Jiajie smiled at "Ah Kun", and then the two did not say a word.
"You still have two young men, let them come together, it's so crowded!" "Ah Kun" laughed, as if he was just a hospitable ordinary villager.
"Oh, the two of them went up to the pond to play, I already told them, I guess I'll be here in a while." Li Jiajie replied with a smile, on the one hand, he was acting, and the other purpose was to test Zhang Gong's reaction.
Sure enough, a slight panic flashed on Zhang Gong's face, and then he said: "Brother, that pond was dug by all of us, and there is a straight mouth under the water, and now that it's dark, you let them come over, in case they don't know how to water, it will be dangerous to step into it!" ”
Hooked. Li Jiajie thought to himself, but the look on his face remained the same, and said, "It's okay, they know how to water, there shouldn't be any big problem, Brother Ah Kun doesn't have to worry." I'm curious, you said that the villagers should come back, but now the square is just us, what about the villagers? ”
Zhang Gong saw that Li Jiajie had changed the topic, so he had no choice but to continue: "This point should be back, I'll go to the village entrance to have a look." Then he got up and walked out.
The other side.
"Colorless, Zi forbidden, go see what's wrong with the bottom of the water." After Li Jiajie waited for Zhang Gong to go away, he immediately contacted Zi Ban and the two.
"Roger!" Si Guilong began to take off his coat after saying that, even in the cold winter, the uniform that relied on the rebirth technology could provide the heat needed by the human body. He said to Zi Ban as he took off: "Newcomer, you just guard above, I'll go down and take a look." ”
After that, layers of hard skin appeared on the uniform on Si Guilong's body, and the temperature of his body surface was gradually decreasing.
Before Zi Ban could react, he only heard a "plop" sound, and Si Guilong's figure had already disappeared into the water.
Underwater, Si Guilong turned on his ability to bring his body temperature closer to the water temperature, and at the same time, his body slowly became transparent, obviously beginning to change color and blend into the environment.
The water is very clear, and because of the depth, all the silt and impurities have settled at the bottom of the water, so with Si Guilong's ability, he can see the situation under the water at a glance.
It is very strange that he has dived to a depth of about ten meters, and still does not see any traces of creatures, with doubts, Si Guilong continued to dive, and after a while, he changed to the bottom.
"It's ......!" Si Guilong seemed to have seen something, and there was surprise and anger in his eyes.
"Poof!" A few minutes later, a small human head emerged from the water.
"Senior! It's nothing! Zi Ban immediately greeted.
Si Guilong slowly swam to the shore, got up and used his uniform to dry his body, the green tendons on his forehead loomed, and said in a deep voice: "There is a big situation!" ”
"Captain, I've found a rough ...... here Forty corpses, all villagers, were dumped in the deepest part of the pond! Si Guilong didn't elaborate, but only gave a brief report on the situation here.
What! When Zi Ban heard this, his heart suddenly missed a beat, and his guess direction had been confirmed. He was a little panicked in his heart, this was something he had never experienced before, let alone a dead man now.
The other end of the communication chip was silent for a while, and then a voice came: "When I was talking just now, Zhang Gong seems to have found the clue, and now it is estimated that it will be useless to find the surviving person." You come back first, the support of the branch is about to arrive, hold it off first, and then talk about other things. ”
In the square, Li Jiajie's face was gloomy, this case was no simpler than the case more than ten years ago, and he was not sure that his team would be able to solve the matter before the support arrived, and at this time his mind was also thinking quickly about how to deal with it.
At this time, the two returned to the square, and the two were also silent.
Si Guilong suddenly spoke: "I roughly checked several corpses, and found small blood holes in the carotid artery, and in order to prevent the corpses from floating, stones were tied to the feet of each corpse, judging by the degree of foaming, which basically coincided with the time of the first distress message in August." ”
"Now that the evidence is complete, ordinary people are powerless in front of the weakest sequencer, this Zhang Gong is simply inferior to a beast!" Li Jiajie gritted his teeth and said fiercely.
"Captain, someone's coming." Dai Yin, who has been in charge of vigilance, reminded.
Hearing this, the three of them looked in the direction of the entrance of the village, and really saw Zhang Gong and his group appear in the field of vision.
Zhang Gong and the villagers who walked in front of him walked in strange postures under the cold light from the flashlights, with stiff hands and feet, and dull expressions, like a group of marionettes.
"The situation has changed, always ready to fight!" The four of them quickly got up and entered the battle state, at this time, Zi Ban also seemed extremely nervous and flustered, he was good at reasoning and knowledge in books, but he had never learned combat knowledge since joining the rebirth!
Li Jiajie, who was on the side, saw Ziban's appearance, and said loudly: "When the fight starts later, we may not be able to take care of you, you find the right time to go first and contact the emergency department!" ”
Before Zi Ban could answer, "Ah Kun" who came to him said loudly: "Big brother, what posture are you, sit down and sit down, we have hit a lot of prey, let's eat some together!" There was enthusiasm between the lines, but the coldness in the tone made everyone more vigilant.
