This afternoon was fleeting, and in the blink of an eye, night fell.

The sky over the island was gradually covered with fog, and the evening lights were lit up in an orderly manner.

On the streets, street shops, night markets, shopping malls, squares.

It's just that in these places, there is not a single living thing.

Gin stood in the center of the square and looked around, there were no visions around him, but he was horrified, "After an afternoon of searching, this island does not show the appearance of people except for the presence of things. ”

This afternoon.

He and Jiang Zhe tirelessly walked through every corner of the island.

Any possibility of being linked to people seems to have never existed, even the cemetery, Jiang Zhe and Gin have been dug up, and the coffin is empty, some are just the relics and clothes prepared by the deceased.

"The investigation is over, you don't have to wait until 11 o'clock tomorrow to return home, can you go back now?"

Gin stood in the square, staring at the bonfire slowly burning on the beach in the distance, and he estimated that the accompanying policemen were cooking on the fire.

I saw Jiang Zhe smile strangely: "Are you sure we can go back now?" ”

With this doubt, Gin walked behind Jiang Zhe suspiciously.

After walking through hundreds of stairs, we reached the highway without any problems.

Suddenly, Gin sniffed his nose, as if he smelled blood.

With the wind blowing in its tracks, the smell of blood comes from the sand.

"I'll go check it out first."

Gin's eyes narrowed, sensing something was happening, and he hurriedly ran towards the beach.

And Jiang Zhe followed behind Gin without hurry.

Because what happened on the beach and sailboat, he already knew in his previous life.

As Jiang Zhe arrived at the bonfire site, the audience was dumbfounded.

I saw that the seven police officers in the picture were all tied to the shelves of rough wood and slanted into the sand, and burned alive.

"What... What's the situation? ”

"Didn't see you for an afternoon, and all seven police officers were killed?"

"How could this happen?"

"It's so bloody, could it be a monster?"

“...”

within the Group of Experts.

Experts who followed up for an afternoon were thinking that the island would not be in danger.

Just as they were lazily eating their boxed lunches, the picture of seven police officers being burned to death in the picture stunned everyone, and even the chopsticks and forks in their hands were suspended in the air.

All the experts frowned, feeling incomprehensible.

Because before departure, the officers had not died.

From 1 p.m. to 6 p.m., it's only five hours.

Maybe it was something that happened in the middle of 5 hours?

Lao Zhao looked pensive and tried to explain: "The death of the seven police officers is inseparable from the monster. Because the rules mentioned before - the island has monsters. At that time, Mr. Jiang was on a small island with 136 coconut trees, which made us subconsciously think that there were monsters on the island with only 136 trees, but we didn't expect that there were monsters on the island with 135 coconut trees. ”

Hearing this, the experts immediately began to discuss.

"It should be, but where the hell is that monster?"

"After an afternoon of investigation by Mr. Jiang and Gin, there is no trace of a monster on the island!"

"And, even if there are monsters, why burn seven police officers like this?"

“...”

They discussed it for a moment, but could not come to the conclusion of why.

Maybe there's something they haven't observed yet.

in-frame.

Gin stood in front of the seven charred corpses, his hands folded in his pockets and observed.

He found a tied prop on each corpse: wire.

Iron wires do not break even if they are burned by an incomplete burning fire.

He looked closely, and there were few fatal wounds on the corpses, but the heads, and the skulls of several people were dented, as if they had been hit by some heavy object.

Following the seven neat trails on the right, it was discernible that the bodies were transported back to the beach at the same time.

Listening to the sound of trampling on the wet sand behind him, he knew that Jiang Zhe had followed.

So he asked without looking back: "From your footsteps, I can hear indifference and calmness, maybe you already know?" ”

Jiang Zhe's voice came from behind him: "Well, they are dead anyway, but they will be alive." ”

Gin didn't understand this sentence a little, but considering that it was a rule island, he was relieved.

Then Jiang Zhe proposed: "There should be nothing left of the burn here, you might as well go to the sailboat to have a look, there is the first crime scene." ”

Accepting the offer, Gin turned and walked towards the harbor not far away, walked across the boardwalk, which was stained with red blood, and walked into the sailboat, which was in chaos, riddled with bullet holes in bullet casings and badly damaged engines.

There were cigarette butts in the bow of the boat, beer bottles, bread bags, and a broken walkie-talkie.

In just 5 minutes, Gin inspected the small sailboat to the bottom, and finally met Jiang Zhe who was on board.

Gin stood at the bow of the boat, looked at the town in front of him, took out a Marlboro cigarette from his pocket, and handed it to Jiang Zhe.

"No."

Gin then lit the cigarette himself, collected his thoughts, and began to reason: "There was an argument on the boat, and there were traces of being dragged on the floor of the boat, and the footprints at first showed signs of an orderly retreat, followed by a state of confusion, which proved that when they were in danger, they first counterattacked, and then found that they could not face the enemy, so they began to retreat quickly, shooting at the same time. ”

"The correct order should be - the seven crew members repaired the engine in the ship, and then when it was repaired, they took out their beers and drank and smoked and ate at the bow of the boat, because I had bottles and cigarette butts and bread bags at my feet."

"After some time, something unusual happened on board."

"One of the officers broke away from the fast food queue and went to check."

"The situation appeared, and the remaining six people were afraid to hear the cry for help or something else, and then they all pulled out their pistols and walked into the stern."

"Halfway through, they must have seen something and shot wildly."

"Because of some of the enemy, perhaps because of their numbers, the remaining six had to shoot and retreat."

"At this point, it seems that the monster has rushed up, and the six officers quickly retreat, and during this time, the officers think they can shoot and kill the monster / or are terrified, so they don't bother to go back to the beach."

"But what they didn't expect - they couldn't kill monsters at all!"

"In the end, all six people were killed."

"The way of killing is naturally to knock out and then burn to death - some police officers have dented skulls."

"Maybe they wanted to ask you, the powerful Captain Jiang, for help before they died, but unfortunately all the equipment failed, causing the walkie-talkie to lose its effect."

"Eventually dragged to the beach in a neat and orderly manner."

"Monsters, at least seven, maybe more!"

Explaining this, Gin turned around and leaned against the metal pole, took out the M1934 model Mauser pistol with a brown handle from his pocket, and pointed forward, "That monster appeared in front first, that is, in the stern!" ”

Hearing these reasoning, an appreciative smile appeared on Jiang Zhe's face: "So your answer is - the monster climbed into the boat from the water?" ”

Gin nodded in response: "Yes, there are traces of metal hooks in the stern of the ship, it should be that a team of monsters with intelligence, excellent mobility, and unity has appeared under the water, and they will carry out the punishment." ”

Speaking of this, Gin looked at Jiang Zhe, "What do you think?" ”

I saw Jiang Zhe raise his hand and applaud it gently, "The reasoning is extremely in place, but..."

Hearing this, Gin frowned, "But? ”

"You have a wrong reasoning."

"Where?"

"Is it possible for a monster—" Jiang Zhe had a serious face and asked in a deep voice: "It's a human!" ”

Hearing this, Gin suddenly raised his head, and his face suddenly brightened, "People? ”
