Chapter 141: Secret Drug for Suspended Death (4100)

"I have also investigated the specific situation over there."

Professor Tenasi stood up while speaking, he opened the black drawer and took out a thick document from it.

Kaxiu took it and quickly scanned it. The document contained both information about the history of the two cities and specific information about the Alfama Mountains. The content was quite detailed, and he nodded.

"Professor Tenasi has put in a lot of effort."

Tenasi smiled as he sat in his seat. He was not a half-baked person. He had real talent to become a professor at Wenmingda University. As long as the money was in place, it would not be a problem.

Tenasi took a sip of tea.

Before he could swallow it, he saw a bulging yellow envelope on the table. A big hand pushed the envelope over until it stopped in front of the white porcelain cup tray.

"Professor Tenasi, a little gift."

Gurgle.

Professor Tenasi quickly swallowed the tea, a smile appeared on his face, and he naturally put the envelope into his pocket. Just by the feel of it, I knew there was definitely enough money.

Fifteen minutes later, at the door of the office.

Professor Tenasi shouted enthusiastically to Kaxiu's departing figure: "Mr. Dusk, you can come to me next time if you have something..."

Tenasi was still standing in the corridor until Kaxiu disappeared at the stairs. He patted his bulging pockets with his hands, a smile reappeared on his face, and slammed the door shut.

A cheerful whistle faintly came from the office.

June 18, 107th year of the Red Li Federation calendar, the weather was sunny.

Xiaer County, this is a large county located in the north of the Red Li Federation, with a population of more than 10 million and close to 20 million. Xiaer County is geographically flat, similar to an egg placed horizontally on a table. The west side is against the Alfama Mountains, and the east side is connected to the ocean, with several medium-sized coastal cities.

Its economic development also naturally shows a decrease from the coast to the inland. The two cities with the worst development are Jinghu City and Mingshan City near the Alfama Mountains.

Of course, the poor development here is compared with other cities in Shire County. In fact, Jinghu City and Mingshan City can be regarded as medium-to-high-end cities in the whole country. They mainly provide log materials and develop tourism. They are two very popular cities for summer vacation in summer.

Whenever it is hot, a large number of tourists come to travel.

Therefore, the safety of tourists is a big problem.

However, Jinghu City and Mingshan City have always done a good job, with a large number of police officers and remarkable efficiency.

Under comprehensive factors, there are more and more tourists here. Various industries relying on tourism are booming.

Jinghu City, Police Station.

Sheriff Burton sat in an office and read the Jinghu City morning newspaper this morning, taking a sip of hot coffee.

"Which bored tourist is playing a prank again?"

He shook his head speechlessly. In the corner of the newspaper was a report with a lot of words and black and white pictures.

"Mysterious patterns appear at Keston Farm in the south of Mirror Lake!"

The picture shows a remote open space in a farm, with a circle of incomprehensible black patterns on the ground. There are messy lines inside the circular pattern, which look like teeth or claws, and some unknown text symbols like tadpoles.

The report also has an expert analysis, saying that the pattern was drawn with black charcoal, and some plant ash was added.

Burton smiled. With the rapid development of the tourism industry in Mirror Lake City, there are always some tourists who love to attract attention and take a different approach.

Just half a year ago, the Purple Mirror Lake incident occurred in Mirror Lake City. It is said that a large number of tourists saw that some areas on the surface of Mirror Lake would turn into a magnificent and beautiful purple-red in the early morning. At that time, there were many different opinions. Some said it was a miracle, and some said it was a mysterious scientific phenomenon, which caused a lot of fluctuations.

As a result, it was later discovered that they were a few college students who came to travel from outside. For fun, they put purple-red dye on the edge of Mirror Lake every morning. In the end, these people were also arrested and detained in the police station for several days on the grounds of destroying the environment of Mirror Lake.

The mysterious pattern incident reported in the morning newspaper of Jinghu City today is probably a similar situation. If it is really a cult sacrifice, why don't you use blood to draw the pattern? Using some charcoal and wood ash to fool people is probably just some idle guys. Burton shook his head and put down the newspaper.

"Knock knock knock..."

A series of rapid knocks sounded at the door.

"Come in." Burton raised his head slightly.

Suddenly a young police officer came in with an anxious expression on his face: "Sheriff, there was another missing case this morning..."

"What?"

Burton frowned and felt a headache.

The past half month can be said to be the end of the police station. There have been a series of missing cases in Jinghu City. Many foreign tourists were fine the day before, and disappeared unknowingly the next day.

Today, it seems that another missing case has occurred.

Next, Burton was called to the office by his boss as expected. Five minutes later, he walked out of the office quickly and came to the area where many police officers of the criminal team were located.

"Criminal team, follow me. There is another case."

More than half an hour later.

In the south of Mirror Lake City, there is a small town between the Alfama Mountains and Mirror Lake. There are many police officers in dark blue uniforms questioning people in the town, and some are bowing their heads to take notes.

"Nothing happened last night. As usual, we walked around the town with Sarah and ate some specialties of Mirror Lake City. When I got up this morning, Sarah was still there. She said she wanted to go downstairs for a walk, but she disappeared unexpectedly. Later, we went to look for her, but only found a necklace given to her by Sarah's mother next to Mirror Lake..."

"You mean the blonde female college student? I saw her when I was walking in the town this morning. I saw her walking towards Mirror Lake, probably around six in the morning. Later, her friends asked around and looked for her in the town..."

...

At the edge of the town, Burton turned around and asked a police officer.

"Are there any useful clues?"

"No, but our colleagues in other groups are looking for traces around Mirror Lake. This time, the number of police officers mobilized by the police station is far more than usual, and we should be able to get some important clues."

More than an hour later, the dense forest on the east side of Mirror Lake.

White clouds float in the blue sky, and the sun shines on the trees, making the green leaves sparkle. The wind and waves blew through the trees, and suddenly there were waves. The leaves rustled overhead, as if it was raining. It kept coming from far to near and from near to far.

Sometimes in the east, sometimes in the west.

In a clearing with sparse trees, the sun cast long mottled shadows through the gaps between the leaves, which was both warm and cool.

The surrounding landscape looked very quiet and comfortable.

If the body lying on the ground was excluded.

Burton was wearing a blue police uniform, and he raised his hand from time to time to wipe the sweat from his forehead. He was a little fat and had a big face. Next to Burton stood a tall and thin man with a hooked nose, who was smoking a black pipe.

Special Mobile Division, Sheriff Randy.

Randy took a puff of his cigarette and said to Burton next to him: "It's strange, isn't it? It looks like she was kidnapped by a wild beast, but there are no signs of bites on her body, only a hole on her neck..."

The two of them looked at each other, and the female corpse lying on the ground was very neatly dressed, and there was no sign of struggle. Before death, her expression seemed a little confused and her face was pale. The wound was on her slender neck, with three pairs of holes like being bitten by a snake.

A few minutes later, colleagues from the identification department determined the preliminary results.

The woman died of severe blood loss, and the blood was not dried up from the wound, but sucked dry by some creature. The three pairs of holes on the neck of the female corpse were the traces left by that creature sucking blood.

"Wolf? Brown bear? Tiger? Or bat or something?"

Burton saw the report and his thoughts ran. But he really couldn't think of any creature that could suck all the blood of an adult, and the place where the blood was sucked was just a few small pinholes.

"Go back and submit the report to the director..."

Three days later, June 21, 107 of the Red Lebanese Federation calendar.

"Another missing case!? It happened on the 15th of this month!"

Burton patted his head with a headache, put the newspaper in his hand on the table, and then got up and walked quickly to the director's office.

Two minutes passed.

"We can't do anything about this..."

Chief Kenneth sighed: "We can only do our best to do our job, after all, it involves another..." He paused: "I reported it to my superiors three days ago, and they said they would send someone to deal with this matter..."

"Calculating the time, it should be almost time..."

Kenneth and Burton chatted for a while, about ten minutes later. Suddenly, there was another slight knock on the door.

"Come in." Kenneth looked up.

A police officer walked in quickly.

"Chief, there is a strangely dressed man outside who wants to see you. He is temporarily placed in the hall by us now."

"Dressed strangely?" Burton asked.

"Yes, he was dressed in black on a hot day. Wide-brimmed sun hat, big windbreaker, sunglasses, mask and gloves." The police officer looked strange, obviously he had never met such a strange person.

On the other side, Jinghu City Railway Station.

A steam train roared and stopped on the platform.

"Passengers, please get off the train. We have arrived at Jinghu City." The conductor came down from the train and shouted while guiding the crowd.

One by one, passengers hurriedly left the platform with their suitcases.

"Is there anyone who hasn't gotten off the train yet? We have arrived at Jinghu City!"

The conductor shouted into the carriage.

A few seconds later, a tall and handsome figure walked out of the carriage. His long golden hair was as flamboyant as a lion's mane, shining brightly under the sunlight. Passengers around looked over, but no one approached. They seemed to be frightened away by the other person's statue-like perfect figure and handsome face.

The conductor next to him was suddenly stuck, as if he was also shocked by the passenger's outstanding appearance and indescribable temperament.

The blond man didn't care about the eyes around him. He looked up at the azure sky and a line of white birds flew by.

The clouds were soft and covered half of the sun.

"The weather is so good... No wonder my uncle would retire here..."

The man muttered to himself. Then, under the conductor's gaze, he squeezed through the crowd and walked away with his suitcase.

The same platform, but it was afternoon.

The sky was dim and the clouds were changing. It was like a painter's palette, with yellow and red mixed together. The clouds were like a golden field, and like a sparkling sea.

Another steam train came to the platform spewing mist.

A large number of tourists who came here for vacation got off the platform under the conductor's shouting, and left in groups of three or five with clear goals.

Click.

Black shoes stepped on the platform.

A tall man came down, he was about 1.9 meters tall. He wore a gray T-shirt on the upper body and black trousers underneath. He was holding a large suitcase in his hand, which was at least twice as big as that of ordinary tourists.

But it didn't look out of place. Maybe it was because of the man's burly figure that the suitcase looked small in his hand.

The man stood on the platform and looked down at his watch. Then he took a step and quickly blended into the crowd of tourists around him.

Early the next morning, Lillian Luxury Apartment.

Kaxiu opened his eyes in bed, and a ray of sunlight came through the gap in the curtains, dividing the white sheets into two halves. He got up and washed up briefly, and walked to the spacious living room in three or two steps.

There was a knock on the door outside.

"Mr. Huang Huang, your breakfast is here."

There was a sweet and pleasant female voice outside the door.

"Okay."

Kaxiu walked over and opened the door.

Outside was a beautiful and graceful female student. She looked young and was wearing a uniform.

She held the plate in her fair hands and waited quietly.

"Come in."

Kaxiu immediately returned to the house, and the waitress came in and put the breakfast on the table, then left respectfully.

Lillian Luxury Apartment has some similarities to hotel services.

Kaxiu sat down at the table and started to eat his first breakfast in Jinghu City. The taste was not bad. While eating, he recalled the information that he had almost memorized in his mind. It is not easy to find the ruins of Aqaba with these clues. After all, it is only a certain area that has been locked. It can only be said that there has been some progress.

In the end, whether it can be found in more than a month is still an unknown. Kaxiu is ready to run away at any time.

After breakfast, he picked up the Jinghu City morning newspaper attached to the plate. A bold title was prominently displayed.

"Serial disappearances in Jinghu City!"

Then there was a general situation of the case. It was said that there were 20 disappearances in Jinghu City in one month, including locals and foreign tourists. The police found three bodies, all of which died of blood loss, suspected to have been drained of blood by something!

"Blood clan?" Kaxiu shook his head indifferently.

There are many such reports everywhere, some are true, some are false. There is nothing strange about it being in the newspaper.

He looked down at the report again.

The report mentioned that almost all the missing people were on the side of Mirror Lake close to the Alfama Mountains. And according to some traces, the victims seemed to have been taken into the mountains.

"Wait!"

"Mirror Lake, mountains, dense forests, blood clan, ruins..."

Multiple elements are spliced ​​together and gradually combined.

Kaxiu muttered to himself involuntarily, and a vague picture in his mind was about to emerge, that was the memory of dusk.

"Fake death secret medicine?"

I am not in good shape today, I will try my best to adjust.

There will be more updates tomorrow, go to bed early.
