Chapter 75 The crime two years ago
After working until the second half of the night, the situation finally stabilized.
The Rose Squad sat in the police station to rest, with more or less exhausted on his face.
After working with Boglo to kill the monster quickly, Donald cleared the remaining undead creatures in the Red Cliff Town, and his mental power was consumed a lot.
Boglo was cutting his palm with a knife, and some strange-colored liquid flowed out of the wound. His talent was to make poison rather than digestive poison. If these venoms were not consumed in the battle, he had to find a way to force them out after the war, otherwise staying in his body would only cause great harm to his body.
Horn was communicating with the deputy sheriff in the police station. From the sad expression on the deputy sheriff's face, he could tell that the situation was obviously not satisfactory.
"Donald, I made your coffee for you without adding sugar."
Stephanie put a few cups of coffee on the table and gave Donald's cup alone.
"Thank you...Captain, how is the situation?"
Taking a sip of coffee, the bitter taste filled the entire mouth, and then his spirit was a little excited. Donald sat up straight and asked Horn.
"Thanks to you and Borglo, there were nearly seventy casualties. You were back in time. The massacre of undead creatures has just begun. If we follow the time we returned, it would be unimaginable."
The number of undead creatures appearing in the town of Hongjiao is no more than 15, and the killing speed is not fast. Donald led Borglo all the way back. If he was 5 minutes late, the data might increase.
However, even so, such a result is already a huge blow to a town with a total population of no more than 3,000 people.
"I heard Susanna say you killed the murderer?"
I have been busy with rescue before and have no time to ask about the situation of the battle. Now I have finally had time to take a breath, so I naturally have to ask clearly.
"It should be said that he is one of the murderers... This guy sacrificed himself in order to send the demon cage out. If he was the only one who committed the crime, his own escape should be the most important. The demon cage collected a lot of soul energy from the dead, and I was worried that something would happen..."
Donald looked at the undead creatures placed on the ground in the police station that he and Boglo had killed each other, and continued,
"The two undead creatures will disappear during the day because of their owner's death and cannot be taken back. This guy still chooses to let the undead creatures transport things. This means that there must be his stronghold near the Hongjia Town, and there are naturally people in this stronghold. I think we have to find out the matter as soon as possible!"
Things are undoubtedly a bit complicated now.
"How can I check this? I don't even have a clue, hiss~"
Pence poured holy water on his wound to prevent the negative energy of the undead creatures from rotting the wound. The two completely opposite energies collided and grinned.
"There is a clue, this demon cage. I noticed the appearance of this man before he turned into a corpse. He was tall and fat. This evening, when I was at the entrance of the town, I asked about this information. Some residents said that his wife had seen a tall fat man who often went to the wild forest to hang a demon cage. They should be the same person. It seems that he should have lived in Hongya Town for a while, or he is a resident of this town... The tall fat man has a pale face and no beard. Deputy Sheriff, you send someone to ask if any villagers have seen him. This is very important."
Speaking of the demon cage brought back by Stephanie and the others, Donald thought about the details at that time. The consumption of mental power made him dare not start his agile thinking at will.
"He didn't let go of the head of the human head in his hand, even if we were forced into a dead end. Where are the two heads now?"
Borglo, who was applying healing ointment to the wound on his hand, mentioned it.
"Yes, I remember that they were two masked heads, just on the street in the middle of the town. They were running around before, and they didn't pay attention to this matter. I quickly sent someone to search for it. It should not be difficult to find it."
After he said this, Donald also recalled the two heads and looked at the deputy sheriff and said.
"No need to find it, we brought it back, one is... the sheriff's, and the other is a rich man in the town."
The deputy sheriff picked up the handkerchief and wiped the sweat off his face. It was clearly autumn, and it was probably a cold sweat that scared.
Donald thought to himself that he didn't see the sheriff. Logically speaking, it was definitely not the deputy sheriff's turn to preside over the situation at this time. Then he thought about it and realized that something was wrong.
"Sheriff's? Did he take the patrol?"
Donald himself didn't believe this. He had seen the sheriff before. He knew that his belly was all day long and was "trained" from various banquets at night. Will such a person run to the front line of danger with his guns to take risks?
"No, he was killed at home, and the rich man was also killed at home."
The deputy sheriff was also puzzled. When he saw the two heads, he was no less surprised than Donald. After asking the police, he found out.
"In order to concentrate the killer, the murderer specially ran to the sheriff's house to kill people, which can be understood as trying to create chaos. So what happened to this rich man? His residence will definitely not be next to ordinary residents. Why did the murderer specifically kill him? What about those two heads? Go and get it."
This is an act that goes against the purpose. The murderer killed the rich man but did not take anything valuable from his home. This can be explained by the empty pockets on the murderer's body.
Even if he assumes he grabs valuable items and quietly burys them elsewhere.
What should I do to cut off a human head and take it back as a souvenir?
This is not good-looking either.
The same problem exists with the sheriff.
When the two heads were wrapped in cloth from the outside, they were placed directly on the table and opened. Stephanie turned her face and dared to take a look. The other people came forward, and Donald even took off the mask directly.
Both are wooden masks, and the one worn on the sheriff's head is a face with a beard on his chin, with oil paint around his eyes, and his nose looks like it is depicted in a pencil.
The one wearing the rich man looks like a bull's head, flat, and looks very abstract.
"What does it mean to wear a mask on people? Who of you has research on heralds or faces like this? Does this behavior have any special significance?"
Donald couldn't understand the meaning of these two masks, so he could only look at the few people next to him. Their expressions were similar, either shaking their heads or frowning. Stephanie had never looked here after Donald took off the mask.
"There is a saying that some places have customs to wear masks before burying corpses to cover their eyes and prevent the soul from remembering the route of burial, so as to return home and not being able to enter the cycle of reincarnation...but both eyes of this mask are hollowed out."
Susanna proposed an idea, and then she rejected it herself.
"These two masks... I seem to have an impression that in the disappearance of a girl about two years ago, witnesses said they saw suspicious people wearing this mask. In fact, there is a tradition in our town to make masks, which is usually at the annual bonfire festival, which is equivalent to a masquerade."
The deputy sheriff suddenly interrupted and everyone's eyes turned to him again.
"It's the disappearance of a girl again. The undead creatures and masks of that year... Why should I wear it on the sheriff and the rich? Deputy Sheriff, how much do you know about the disappearance of a girl back then? Do you know about the record of the case?"
When investigating cases in the police station, there is a beginning and an end. For example, a case of a girl’s disappearance should be a big case. Whoever the murderer is, the process of solving the case should not be missing.
However, Horn Shelley's normal request made the deputy sheriff dodge his eyes.
"Mr. Deputy Sheriff, so many people have died in the town, what are you worried about?"
Donald asked in a deep voice.
There is definitely something wrong with this case!
"Yes...this, I..."
With his mouth like squeezing toothpaste, Donald had no time to waste with him here, so he turned around and patted Stephanie on the shoulder and signaled her to go up.
"Now there are so many casualties outside. Even if the deputy police officer doesn't think about it for the townspeople, he has to think about his career. If the murderer is not caught, do you think that the deputy police officer can continue to do it?"
Stephanie walked to the deputy sheriff, her voice softly and her eyes were facing each other. The latter's eyes were dazed and her expression suddenly became dull.
"The murderer was not found in the disappearance of the girl. The five missing persons found only one body. In order to reduce the impact of the incident, the undead creature was discovered. The sheriff decided to push everything on the undead creatures... In fact, I also heard some bad comments. During that time, the sheriff had been traveling with the rich man, Mr. Dale. There were rumors that they did bad things to a girl, but because of their status, it was left unresolved. The file you asked for had been 'discarded' because of the police station cleaning... God, what did I say!"
After the deputy sheriff said the last sentence, he woke up and turned around and whipped himself in the mouth.
These are all police scandals.
"Is it possible to be revenge? He is the family of the victim of the girl's disappearance two years ago. He recently found out the truth, so he wanted to kill these two people who may be the real murderers?"
Cutting off the human head and putting on a mask is undoubtedly a revengeful act, and Susanna came up with a guess.
"No, if it's just a simple revenge, what should he do to kill so many residents? With this guy's ability, it's not too easy to kill the sheriff and the rich!"
Susanna's guess can only explain one thing, but it still doesn't make sense in other aspects.
"Divid four routes, deputy sheriff, continue to check his information. Donald, go to the rich house, Boglo, go to the sheriff's house, I will take people to check the information about the girl's disappearance two years ago. Although the file was destroyed, the police officers who handled the case back then were always there, and finally got together at the police station!"
Horn Shelley made the decision to divide the troops into four groups and mobilized all his strength to find out the missing girl two years ago in the shortest time.
It is the biggest crux of this incident.
