Chapter 42: The Wound
Lu Xun had been hiding behind the dilapidated door panel, and he didn't walk out until the truck was far away.
He looked at the open door of the middle-aged uncle's house, hesitated for a moment, and walked in, although he didn't want to take advantage of the fire to rob, but it was basically difficult for the other party to come back alive after being kidnapped, so the remaining items in the house became ownerless.
Even if you don't take it yourself, it won't be long before the neighbors notice that the uncle is missing, and they will divide the items of the uncle's family......
Lu Xun went in and took a turn, and when he came out again, he had an extra travel bag in his hand, which contained a few bottles of high-grade liquor and some condiments, just like the middle-aged uncle said before, his family had indeed reached the point of exhaustion, the food in the refrigerator had basically bottomed out, and as for other electrical appliances, furniture and other large items that were difficult to handle, Lu Xun simply gave up.
Walking out of the alley, Lu Xun looked around.
It's located in a township and village, there are no cameras nearby, and most of the young people in the countryside now go to the city to work and settle.
Some even the whole family has moved to the city, so the people who stay are basically some nostalgic middle-aged and elderly people, their hearing and eyesight are seriously reduced, and the living is very scattered, there may be only one household in the whole alley, plus the monster has been very fierce recently, even if they hear the movement, the average person does not dare to go out.
Therefore, the middle-aged uncle was kidnapped, and there would be no witnesses at all except Lu Xun.
Even if someone finds out that the uncle is missing in the future, they will most likely think that he was attacked by a monster, and they will not suspect that it was the hand of the Wancheng Group at all.
After Lu Xun put the materials looted from the middle-aged uncle's house back in the car, he did not continue to stay here, preparing to go to the next village.
He had already given up planning to go to the city.
There are many patrols in the city, and if you run into people from Wancheng Group on the way and make a big noise, it will definitely attract the patrolmen, and you won't be able to run away when you want to......
In the villages and towns, at least you can deal with each other, and you don't have to worry about disturbing the sheriff and sergeant!
……
Two hours later, Lu Xun still found nothing.
His current location is a village called "Huanggang Village", which is already considered the most marginal area of Nancheng, and its development is very backward due to the inconvenience of transportation due to the proximity to a large mountain.
The whole village looks very dilapidated, there are only a few dozen houses on the eye, the only road leading to the interior is rough and full of puddles, and most of the houses on both sides of the road are also old, the walls are mottled, and there are even huge cracks in some places, which almost look crumbling, and definitely a dilapidated house.
The street was empty, except for the heart-rending chirping of two summer cicadas, which made people upset.
In the loudspeaker of the village department, the recording of "Please pay attention to the villagers, do not go out at will" constantly echoed, echoing in the empty streets, and there was an inexplicable sense of weirdness.
Lu Xun parked the car under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village, and was about to try his luck on foot, but there was no harvest for several hours in a row, which made his mood inevitably a little irritable.
Stompe!
Lu Xun stepped on the edge of the puddle and slowly walked towards the village, and suddenly, his eyes gathered at the door of the first old house at the entrance of the village.
I saw that on the muddy road, there were a few extremely deep bloody footprints, and they staggered all the way until they entered the gate of the old house!
[A line of blood-stained footprints, it is still very fresh, and it does not last more than two hours!] 】
A line of prompts, silently appeared.
This touch of blood made Lu Xun's spirit tense suddenly.
He took out the horned steel knife and pistol from his bosom, and slowly followed the blood-colored footprints towards the door of the old house, and soon, he saw that there were also splatters of blood and blood-colored handprints on the two closed door panels, and even the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
"Looks like there's what I'm looking for!" When Lu Xun saw this scene, he was basically sure in his heart that there were monsters in this village, and this bloody scene in front of him was the best proof of this.
Click!
He opened the pistol with great ease, took a deep breath, kicked the door open, and rushed in stride.
Lu Xun thought that after he broke in, he would see a hideous monster rushing towards him, but to his surprise...... Nothing happened!
No monsters, no roars.
Only one corpse lay quietly in the courtyard, already covered with blood, and under the scorching sun, there were already a large number of carnivorous canopies buzzing around it.
[The current light source level is 8, and corpses cannot be transformed into monsters]
"Was it attacked by a monster?" Lu Xun frowned, he looked at the location of the corpse, and then slowly walked over after making sure that there were no monsters hiding around.
Smack!
Lu Xun turned the corpse over, but the next moment, his pupils constricted.
The corpse had no claw marks or bite marks on it.
What killed him was a deep wound on his neck, which looked like it had been cut with a sharp object.
The murderer was steady and ruthless, and there was no second wound on this corpse, not even any traces of a fight, which showed that he was fatally hit and had no power to resist.
For some reason, seeing this corpse, Lu Xun's mind suddenly appeared with the words of the two young people who had listened to the kidnapping of the middle-aged uncle before.
"Our work is quite easy, we are just kidnapping, Boss Miao did it, but it is a murder!"
