Chapter 33: The Strange Village (Part II)

Then the two saw the village chief Ferguson Droni walking briskly towards here, as soon as they saw Ryan and Chris, they led the two of them towards the location of the murder case while narrating the whole process of the whole thing, such as when the deceased was found, what is the name of the deceased and what is his identity, what kind of work he does, in short, he knows that he will say it word for word like pouring beans into a bamboo tube, although Ryan can't stand the other party's endless chatter, but he still patiently listens to the other party to finish everything, Finally waited until the other party finished speaking, they also arrived at the scene of the murder, the body fell on its back on the snow, a pair of eyes of the deceased were forcibly gouged out, the mouth was exaggerated to the maximum, the corners of the mouth were almost grinning to the root of the ear, the tongue was also pulled out by the murderer with brute force with his bare hands, and the place of the ear was blocked by the snow.

And it seems that the deceased saw something that should not be seen before he died, and it was even related to the personal interests of the murderer, so the murderer was worried that the deceased would pass on some bad things, so he would chop off the fingers of the other party's left and right hands, and was afraid that the victim would go out and run around to arouse the suspicion of others, and it was very likely to bring some unnecessary trouble to himself, and cut off his feet from the ankle position.

The face of the deceased was also carved out of a fist-sized inverted pentagram pattern by the murderer with a sharp thing such as a knife, originally thought it was just a simple murderer who made a ruthless move in order to block the other party's mouth, but such a pattern is here, then this homicide case has become not simple, no matter what the murderer carved this pattern on the deceased's face for any purpose, what this pattern represents here can not be directly concluded, plus there is a wooden cross on the snow above the deceased's head, It's a contradiction that these two things are here at the same time.

So there should be more than one reason for the murderer to kill, in addition to keeping the deceased secret, there may be some ulterior reasons, the village chief Gu just said that the deceased's name is Kimberly Green, just a seamstress in a tailor shop, and she gets along very well with the guests who go to her tailor's shop to customize clothes, and her temper is not like the type that will easily conflict with others, not to mention that any enemy will use such cruel means to kill the other party to death, However, based on the words of the village chief alone, who can guarantee that the deceased is really as harmless as the other party said.

Now it is necessary to find out more about the people who frequented the deceased's shop, and thinking of this, Ryan looked at the village chief and said, "Take us to visit the people who frequented the deceased's shop." But as soon as he finished speaking, the village chief was not as calm as he had just been, and a look of panic flashed across his face, and he said a word that was also fragmented, "But-" It's like those people are some kind of monster that eats people and doesn't spit out bones.

This had to make Ryan suspicious of him, and when he looked at him, he couldn't help but be a little more suspicious from the indifference at the beginning, and immediately asked, "But what?" You can't be hiding something from us, are you? ”

"I-" The village chief was startled by his eyes for a moment, but he still refused to say anything,

Ryan was already a little impatient to see him grinding and chirping like this, and the expression on his face had become more and more condensed, and he immediately said coldly; "Chris!"

Chris got the order to put the long sword in his right hand on the neck of the village chief, as soon as the village chief saw the cold light of the long sword, he couldn't help but be frightened and his face was even more frightened, Ryan looked at him coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Village Chief Droni, we have patience The sword has always been impatient, if you tell everything you know now, we can still leave you a way to live, otherwise you will bear the consequences." ”

As soon as his words fell, although the other party knew that this was just a threat, the long sword was still hanging around his neck, as if he was grinding and rubbing the other party would use this long sword to cut off his head, so he hurriedly said: "I said! The complexion on Ryan's face softened and waved his hand to signal Chris to put away the long sword, and then deliberately lowered his voice and said, "I advise you, it's better not to lie." ”

Where does the village chief dare to lie now, but he explained everything clearly, "It was the murderer who threatened me with my daughter's life that I can't take you to those who have anything to do with the deceased, otherwise I will throw my daughter into the river to feed the crocodiles, and I can't do anything for my daughter, so I hide it from you." ”

Hearing this, Ryan couldn't help frowning and looked at him and asked, "So have you seen this murderer before?" Then he saw the other party nodding, and glanced at Chris on the side, but he was thinking in his heart: This murderer is very likely to be a person in the village, but if he dares to threaten the other party with the village chief's daughter, the village chief's daughter is very likely to have become a hostage and fall into the hands of the murderer, otherwise just a verbal threat will not have much effect at all, and will only make people feel that the murderer is either bluffing or his brain is in water.

Ryan looked at the village chief again and asked, "So is your daughter in the hands of the murderer now?" ”

The village chief didn't answer him, but nodded his head to confirm his guess, which is why he was so worried at the time, if his daughter was okay, he didn't need to worry so much, he had to have a long sword around his neck to speak.

Chris, who had not spoken on the side, suddenly thought about the other party and reassured: "Village Chief Droni, you can rest assured that we will be responsible for rescuing your daughter safely and protecting her." ”

When Ryan heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, then turned his head and glanced at him meaningfully, to be honest, these words similar to a good man came out of the mouth of a vampire, which sounded quite ridiculous and unreal, although he thought so in his heart, but he didn't say anything but looked at the village chief again and asked, "We have promised you, now you can always take us to those people to investigate, right?" ”

When the village chief saw that there was nothing wrong with someone taking the initiative to stand up to protect his daughter, he immediately said cheerfully: "Naturally, you can." Then he took the two of them to a family that was relatively close to the scene of the murder, this is a wall built of stone as high as two adults, and the outside was painted gray and white, the village chief took the two people through the wooden gate and walked in, inside is a small yard, and then the house where the owner lives, but at this time the door is closed, the village chief can't help but wonder when he sees this abnormal scene, but he didn't think too much and just went up and knocked on the door, Ryan and Chris looked at the closed door and had a sense of foreboding, as if something bad was going to happen next, and that they had been smelling a vague smell of blood in the air since they had stepped into the courtyard, and because the smell came and went, it was only suspicion.

The village chief knocked on the door for a long time, but no one came to answer, and he couldn't help but become more and more puzzled, usually the family will stay at home, and if there is nothing to do, they will generally not go out, what is going on today? Could it be that everyone was on the second floor so they didn't hear his knock, thinking of this, he was about to push open the door, Ryan suddenly said at this time: "Don't open the door!" But it was too late, the gate had been pushed open, and a sharp arrow suddenly shot straight from the darkness, seeing that it was about to pierce the head of the village chief, killing him with one blow, but fortunately, Chris quickly grabbed the sharp arrow, and the sharp arrow stopped only an inch away from his head, and the village chief was frightened by this sudden scene, his face turned pale and fell back to the ground, and the whole person still looked frightened.

Ryan walked forward quickly, but saw that there were three corpses lying in a pool of blood on the floor of the house, and the way of death was exactly the same as the deceased at the first murder scene, it was obviously the same murderer, and was it possible for the murderer to stay in this room after killing someone, and shot the sharp arrow at the moment when the village chief pushed the door open, if Chris hadn't reacted quickly, I'm afraid the village chief would have been splashed with blood on the spot by now, Ryan wasn't worried about the other party, but the other party couldn't die before the murderer was caught, But how did the murderer know that they were coming to this family, and they also started killing people in advance, but Chris had just investigated this room and didn't see the murderer's figure, only saw the longbow that fell to the ground, could the murderer have been watching them? There is still the residual body odor of the murderer in this room, and the other party has obviously just left, but where can the murderer hide in such a short period of time? Did they leave the house while they were looking? At this time, he suddenly remembered something, turned his head to look at Chris beside him and asked, "Do you have a way to find the murderer's hiding place?" ”

Chris nodded naturally and said, "Of course." ”

He felt that with Chris's sensitivity to the unique body odor of human beings, he believed that he would soon be able to find out where the murderer was hiding, not to mention that the windows of this room were almost separated by iron fences, and only human arms could stretch out, so it was impossible for the murderer to leave this murder scene in such a short period of time, so the murderer must still be in this room now, thinking of this, Ryan said: "Now the murderer is very likely to be hiding in this house with the village chief's daughter." ”

When the village chief heard that his daughter might be hiding here with the murderer, he was about to step forward, but Ryan turned his head to look at it and said coldly, "Village Chief Rodney, don't come in now." ”

Rodney's footsteps stopped in place all of a sudden, and then he saw that Chris had walked towards the stairs on the second floor at some point, and the murderer hiding in the hall on the second floor at this time did not know that someone had already walked here at this time, and glanced at the girl who was only eleven years old and was only eleven years old when he covered her mouth with her face full of horror, he was obviously the daughter of the village chief of Droney, and thought to herself: Anyway, it is better to let this stinky girl die with him. After making up his mind, he slowly raised a dagger with cold light in his right hand, and was about to stab the other party, but at this moment, suddenly a white light flashed down, and his right hand holding the dagger was cut off by a sword in an instant, and blood suddenly splashed out, and his mouth couldn't help but let out a miserable scream like killing a pig, and suddenly let go of the girl and fell to the ground screaming miserably.

Ryan and Village Chief Droni had also come to the second floor, and as soon as the village chief saw that his daughter was really standing there safely, he immediately walked over quickly and hugged her in his arms, Ryan looked at Chris and coldly ordered: "Chris, kill him." ”

Chris opened his mouth to answer "yes" and then came to the murderer's side a few steps, the man only then relieved himself from the severe pain, at this time, he saw the other party raise the extremely sharp long sword, he suddenly showed a very shocked look on his face before he could react, the long sword had fallen, and after a bloody light, the murderer was separated on the spot and died.
