Chapter 333 I’m the general
Lin Qi felt a bad premonition in his heart, released his pistol and held his cane, and strode into the farmhouse.
A very ordinary farmhouse, a bit messy, but full of life.
Officer Natalie was standing in the middle of the hall, looking in the direction of the kitchen on the side. Lynch rushed over and followed her gaze, and saw the petite figures of three children crowded together by the kitchen window.
There is no body, only shadow, stuck to the glass, just like the mark left on the wall after the human body is burned.
But the shadows can move. They were huddled together and shivering. I wonder if they noticed Officer Lynch and Natalie. One of the shadows extended a small black hand to them.
Then he stopped in front of the window and never moved again.
Hiss...
No matter how many times he had seen such a strange death, he could never get used to it. Lynch felt his heart beating wildly, his throat went dry, and he couldn't help but look away.
No, there are eight people in the family, where are the five left?
The police officer was obviously aware of this, and ignored the three black shadows that gradually dispersed. She winked at Lin Qi, then picked up her sword and rushed into the depths. Lin Qi understood and immediately concentrated on The ball of light wrapped around death followed closely behind her.
The temperature inside increased significantly, which made both of their hearts sink.
Sure enough, as soon as the two of them rushed into the master bedroom, they felt a rush of hot air hitting their faces.
There is no fire in the room, only high temperature.
Three petite shadows were huddled on the ground, leaving three dark marks on the floor, while two adults were huddled in the corner with frightened faces. In front of their eyes, they were instantly hit by the high temperature. It burned into ashes, leaving its shadow in this farmhouse forever.
It's still a step too late.
Looking at these strange deaths, Lynch looked gloomy, and Officer Natalie looked even more livid. In the blink of an eye, eight members of the family were wiped out, but the two didn't even know how they died, let alone who the murderer was.
The two stood shoulder to shoulder, looking at each other speechlessly at the tragic scene in the room. After a long time, Officer Natalie said in a deep voice: "At least I didn't see any aliens."
"Then the possibility of cultists offering sacrifices is very high." Lynch said with a solemn expression, "I have every reason to suspect that Will Trevor was responsible for this, but unfortunately there is no evidence."
"I said that guarding order is not guarding the law. Sometimes I don't need evidence."
"But we must consider, what if we really make a mistake? We are the criminals who have wronged the innocent. .”
"What you say makes sense, but let's not say that we need to find out the root cause of the incident from him and solve it. Even if we can find it ourselves, are you willing to let him go unpunished because there is no evidence?"
"I'm not willing to give in, but we really have no evidence, so we need to create some evidence as soon as possible."
"Huh?"
Why are you surprised? Can a living person be choked to death by urinating?
I’m just trying to find a way to fish. I’m not a policeman, so I don’t have to abide by their rules.
However, before he could start fishing, he was stopped by the town officials waiting outside the door as soon as he went out.
The cows here are also dead.
The two hurried to take a look. Indeed, just like the Mike family and the old Werther family, the corpses were shriveled up to only skin and bones. They were not at all like ordinary cow carcasses like the other two families.
Strange, those two families died first and then shriveled up. The other two died before they shriveled up, but this family seemed to be drained directly to death. Is there something else in this that we have not considered? factors?
Boom, boom, boom.
The footsteps got closer and closer in the darkness, and a town citizen ran over panting.
Mike Merlin's wife and children stayed at home after checking on the dead cows in his house and did not leave again. Just now, some friends of his family wanted to comfort them, but found that they refused to come out and open the door. After a stalemate for a while, a fire suddenly broke out in the house, which has not been put out yet.
In the blink of an eye, there were nearly twenty victims. This was the first time that Lynch had seen such a bloody mysterious incident. He could think about things he couldn't figure out later, but if he didn't find a way to stop Will's crazy behavior quickly, the town would Soon there was no one around.
We must first find a way to force out his methods, and then find a way to eliminate the threat. Then start creating evidence.
"Dang, Dang, Dang."
Soon, the dull bell rang in the bell tower in the center of the town, and the whole Wilson Town started to move.
From time to time, townspeople who heard the bells dropped what they were doing and gathered towards the center of the town holding torches.
This is a signal for Wilson Town to call a meeting of the townspeople. There is always important information announced, and each household will send at least one or two representatives to the square to participate.
The blood under the clock tower has been washed away, but the news of three consecutive cases of family extermination is more impactful than the blood. For a time, the various strange things that happened in the past few days were connected in people's minds.
Is it really not rinderpest this time, but man-made?
At this moment, someone finally remembered the reply given by the Milt family. Did we blame them wrongly?
No, absolutely impossible.
The voices outside were getting louder and louder, while Lynch and the police officer were in the clock tower. .
The ground floor of the bell tower is a very rough large room. The huge stone walls have almost no decoration. The floor is made of wood and has been blackened by trampling. There is a red stain the size of a plate in the middle of the floor. It looks quite bright. On the black It's especially obvious on the floor.
In one corner is the staircase leading to the top of the building. At this time, the two of them, led by the fat mayor, went up to the top floor.
It is said that representatives of each family are here. Except for the Milt family located outside the town, all the families in the town have arrived.
The bell tower of more than ten meters is not too high. With Lynch's eyesight, the people below can see it clearly.
Lynch immediately saw Will Trevor who was driven away in the afternoon. At this time, he was still wearing the same formal clothes as he was in the afternoon. He was looking around in the crowd with a calm expression. He was not at all worried about hearing about the extermination of three families. And feel guilty.
It doesn't matter, you will feel guilty soon.
Click.
Huh.
Several gas lamps on the top of the bell tower were lit at the same time, illuminating Lynch Leviev who was standing at the front.
Mr. Detective straightened his tie, grabbed a simple homemade iron trumpet, coughed loudly and said loudly:
"Ladies and gentlemen, you must have heard that I am an official of the Rhine City Municipal Government. Come here." To purchase your beef cattle, although there are recent rumors of a plague in your town, we still invited experts to conduct a detailed inspection, and the results were quite gratifying. Let’s ask our experts to announce the results for everyone.”
So, Officer Natalie Angell, who was an unknown expert, took the tin horn with a dark face, glared at Lynch fiercely, and said in a calm tone: "After inspection, there is no plague in the local area, and it is dead." All livestock are suspected to have died due to collective heat stroke caused by excessive temperatures. Although the surviving livestock are in poor health, their food consumption is not affected. ”
"Everyone has heard what the experts said. The experts invited by the government department must be credible. I can buy your products with confidence. However, in line with the idea of being responsible to the city government, we decided to observe one more night. If tomorrow It is true that there has been no more collective heatstroke. I, Speaker Grant, will deal with everyone on the spot and settle the matter in cash. As for the livestock that suffered from collective heatstroke, we are an honest government and will never trade dead cattle. However, We are still willing to provide rescue subsidies at half the price. As for the livestock carcasses, we will take them away and dispose of them. I think everyone should be satisfied with this result."
The square was silent for a few seconds, followed by cheers. Thunder.
The gloom of the past few days has been swept away, and everyone is shouting crazily, venting the excitement in their chests.
Not everyone, there are always people who are not so gregarious.
Someone in the crowd almost pulled off his mustache.
Seeing that the plan that has been worked hard for more than a year is about to be harvested, it is suddenly about to overturn. How are you going to make a comeback, Mr. Trevor?
I'm a general.
