Chapter 399 Key Tips (Two Chapters in One)

Even though he was mentally prepared, Lynch was still terrified.

What you see in front of you is simply a reappearance of a classic scene from the movie.

The two people who were busy in the room slowly turned around when they heard the sound, their blood-red eyes facing the people at the door.

The air seemed to freeze for a moment, and the next moment, two bodies, one old and one small, suddenly burst out with astonishing speed and strength and rushed towards the crowd at the door.

Damn it.

Lynch's hair was about to explode. Fortunately, the door was kicked open by Terry Knight, a professional soldier. His body's instinct had already reacted. He slapped the old mother in the face with his shield, and smashed the old mother with a clear sound of bone cracking. Flying away, he then raised his legs and kicked, and kicked Leonard in the chest, sending Leonard flying backwards and hitting his mother.

Holy crap, crap.

Lynch's heart raced wildly at this moment. This was a childhood shadow engraved in his DNA. He was extremely glad that he didn't have the hands to pat his shoulders, otherwise he should be able to wash his pants by now.

Roar.

The two lunatics screamed and tried to get up, but they were entangled with each other and struggled for several seconds before they separated. At this moment, Dr. Swain, who was blocked by Lynch behind him, raised his hand, opened and closed his lips quickly, and slurred. Weird syllables came out of his mouth, and then he clenched his fist hard.

[Secret method, seizing the black goat]

A strange reaction occurred. Lin Qi felt an invisible force passing by him, and then the two madmen who had separated and were getting up lay on the ground squirming desperately as if their bodies were held by an invisible hand. Struggling, frantically trying to bite all around, but unable to bite anything, it could only keep making horrifying roars.

Only then did the group at the door have time to see clearly the situation of the two people.

Apart from being crazy, the tall and thin man had no physical abnormalities, except that there was dried blood around his mouth, making him look extremely ferocious.

His mother was already covered in blood, and a big hole was bitten out of her throat, revealing the broken muscle texture and blood vessels and trachea inside. As the body struggled, the cracked muscles rolled and squirmed, as if another big mouth was opening. Opening it up, mocking the people in front of it.

He was fatally injured, but he was still able to move freely.

Well, everyone's attention was focused on Lin Qi, as if Lin Qi was the leader at this time.

This made Lynch instantly feel tremendous psychological pressure, as his words could determine the lives of two people.

[When you reach the highest level, your thought may determine the life or death of hundreds of millions of people. 】

Hongyue's warnings came to mind. Although the words were scary, they made Lin Qi's tangled mood soothed.

Yes, the greater the power, the greater the responsibility. With whatever status you have, you have to bear the pressure brought by the responsibility.

There is no good thing that can only be enjoyed without paying, unless it is in a dream.

The entanglement and hesitation quickly faded away, and Lynch's expression became determined. He exited the door and picked up a pitchfork. He walked silently to his old mother who was supposed to be dead and raised the pitchfork.

"I'm sorry, forgive me, and I promise you that I will try my best to resolve this."

Even if it's just this time, Lynch added silently in his mind and suddenly swung the pitchfork down. Poof, the sharp pitchfork penetrated straight into the brain through the roaring mouth, the struggle and roaring came to an abrupt end, and the crazy light in the blood-red eyes quickly dimmed.

"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, life is but a moment, only death is eternal."

In the soul image, in addition to the pattern representing the power of death, there is one more light spot.

[Power, death, ability, purification]

Purify a resurrected corpse and return it to death, regardless of how the corpse was resurrected.

Taking off his hat and putting it on his chest, Lynch bowed deeply to his old mother, and then turned to Leonard, who was still fixed on the ground, under the complicated eyes of Officer Natalie and Miss Diana.

"This person is special." Lynch stared at the blood-red eyes for a long time before saying to Dr. Swain, "So far, all crazy people have one thing in common. They have all been scratched and bitten by other crazy people. Except for Kemit and Leonard. Although Kemit was the first case, he had injuries all over his body, and it could not be ruled out that he had also been bitten by a madman, so the only exception that could be determined was Leonard. "

"Huh?" As a therapist, Dr. Swain immediately thought of the key question, "If he is the source of everything, then maybe we can find a solution to this accident from him, but we can't kill him yet. "

"He may not be the source, but I speculate that he must be related to the source." Lynch thought for a moment and suddenly frowned, "What about the corpses that were suspected to have been killed by ghouls?"

Terry Knight knew this best: "The bodies remained unchanged for two days before being buried in a public cemetery."

"I suddenly have a guess, but I suggest you search here first. I suspect there will be surprises."

"Take care of him first." Dr. Swain's expression was tangled, "I can't control it anymore."

Seeing that Lynch was in trouble, Officer Natalie took a few steps forward, raised her long legs and hit Leonard's two calves hard. With a harsh sound of bone shattering, Leonard's legs were obviously deformed. .

However, it was as if he couldn't feel the pain, and his legs were still twisting desperately, regardless of the fact that the broken bone had penetrated from under the skin.

"I'll do it."

Seeing Leonard was still struggling, Miss Diana sighed, walked to Leonard, first stuffed a wooden stick into his mouth so that he would bite it subconsciously, quickly lifted his head to expose the back of his neck, then took out a long needle, and quickly and accurately stabbed it into Leonard's cervical vertebrae.

The crazy Leonard still made a biting motion, but both the roar and the twisting and struggling motion stopped, and the room instantly fell into a dead silence. Dr. Swen tried to interrupt the secret method and release the control of Leonard, only to find that Leonard could only twist his neck in place to try to bite, but his body could not move.

The soldiers subconsciously stepped back a few steps, their faces pale, and looked at the weak Miss Diana in fear, while the Earl Miss didn't care, just twisted the steel needle and turned back to smile at Lynch and Natalie, which made Lynch shudder, as if he had seen his head rolling in the bag.

Someone immediately stepped forward to block Leonard's mouth with a wooden stick, which was considered to be completely controlling this dangerous factor.

"Is there no one else in their family?"

A soldier who knew Leonard answered, "He is the only son. His father died a long time ago. Only he and his mother live here."

Lynch nodded and said, "Then everyone search here. Be careful. Don't touch anything suspicious. Report immediately."

Knight Terry heard the translation and immediately ordered the soldiers to start searching. Doctor Swen asked, "What guess did you say just now?"

"I probably understand why ghouls want to avoid witnesses when killing people. The purpose is not to prevent people from seeing that it was a ghoul who killed people. On the contrary, the murderer is afraid that people will see that the murderer is not a ghoul, but a human."

"But the wounds on the body do match the traces of ghouls." Doctor Swen said puzzledly.

"The human heart is more terrible than ghouls. As long as they are willing, they can do anything. In my hometown, there is also a set of models of vicious dog teeth to imitate the cases of vicious dogs killing people. It is not impossible to imitate the claw marks and tooth marks of ghouls."

The people around him showed thoughtful expressions.

"The murderer's purpose should be for the experiment, and the purpose of the experiment is this plague. But it is inevitable that many deaths will be caused during the experiment, which will definitely alarm the city guards. And there happened to be ghouls wandering nearby, so the murderer simply used the traces of ghouls to cover up his crime. There was nothing abnormal about the corpses in the previous few times, probably because the experiment failed and failed to turn into this kind of... lunatic."

Dr. Swain widened his eyes and said suddenly: "Until it finally succeeded this time?"

"Yes, I suspect Kemit is the victim of the experiment, and Leonard is likely to be the accomplice of the experiment." Lynch smiled sarcastically, "But he didn't expect that he himself was actually the real experimental subject and the main way for the disaster to spread. Kemit, who was killed by him, was just a backup. That's why he became the only infected person who became a lunatic without injury, and the first victim he created was his old mother."

Knight Terry and Dr. Swain looked very ugly. They had realized that if Lynch didn't find Leonard's abnormality, once the mother and son ran outside, the consequences would definitely be disastrous.

"This man is not a professional criminal, so he shouldn't be so careful. If I guess correctly, there may be a lot of interesting evidence in his house. If we are lucky, we may find clues related to the real murderer, or even the source of all this." Lynch shrugged, "I'm not sure, so let's pray together. I hope we are lucky and can..."

Dongdongdong.

Before he finished speaking, a soldier hurried over with a strange look on his face.

"Sir, everyone, come and take a look."

Several people looked at each other and followed the soldier out of the dilapidated house with trepidation.

When they went out, they noticed that a dozen auxiliary soldiers had caught up at some point and completely blocked the surroundings. Lynch couldn't help but glance at Knight Terry and realized that he might have underestimated the confidant of the city lord. Perhaps due to the limitations of the times and regions, his knowledge is indeed a little worse, but in terms of judging the situation and adapting to changes, he is not inferior to the well-trained professional police in his hometown.

As an agricultural city, most families have small barns, and Leonard's family is no exception. His barn was just behind the house, a very simple cylindrical building.

As soon as he entered the door, a musty smell of the granary hit him. Lynch just frowned, and Officer Natalie suddenly took two quick steps and walked in front of him and Miss Diana.

Hmm?

Lynch distinguished carefully and smelled a faint smell of blood from the strong musty smell.

It seems that this is what the soldiers found.

There should be no danger, but it is better to be safe than sorry. Lynch turned the ring on his middle finger to show his neighbor's compassion. He imitated the police officer and used his body to protect the sides of the other two ladies. After all, there was no real danger now, so there was no need to call out the real Judy.

After passing several straw piles, the group saw four auxiliary soldiers surrounding a firewood pile. The firewood pile had been opened, revealing what was hidden inside.

As Lynch expected, hidden in the firewood pile were two huge claws and a pair of sharp dentures shaped like a wolf, made of metal, very sharp, and stained with dirty blood and minced meat. The blood had dried up and was clinging to it in a black mass, with a few flies hovering around it.

"It really is there."

Although I couldn't understand it, I could guess what Terry Knight was talking about by looking at his expression. He took two trots and rushed to the two sets of weird props first, looking at them carefully.

Lynch was also watching. The huge claws were a bit like the claws of a murderer in a dream in a previous horror movie. They could be put on the hands and leave huge claw marks. The teeth were very similar to the shape of the female reporter Maya, which was similar to Kemi. The injuries on Te's body matched.

"This thing has no combat effectiveness at all." Officer Natalie muttered from beside her. "It just looks dangerous, but it has no practicality at all. If anyone takes him into battle, he will be the first to be killed." ”

"What about the sneak attack?"

"It's difficult to carry out a sneak attack with this thing, even after long-term training."

"Unless the target is fixed?"

"right."

Several outsiders were still discussing in low voices, while Dr. Swain and Terry Knight had completed the examination of the murder weapon.

For the time being, it can be judged that this is the murder weapon that left scars on Kemet's body. As for whether the previous murders were also caused by this thing, it is still unclear. It requires excavation and autopsy to confirm. It can only be said that the possibility is very high.

But what actually disappointed Terry was that apart from these two items, no other suspicious items were found. A group of people screened the entire house several times until the afternoon, but ultimately found nothing.

"It seems we are not very lucky." Looking at the busy people in the memories of these strange objects, Officer Natalie sighed regretfully, "It took a lot of effort to find this place, but we still couldn't find any evidence related to the real murderer. It's a pity. The real murderer is still hiding behind the scenes, and he might make his next move at any time, which is still very dangerous. "

"It's very rare to discover these things." Miss Diana retorted dissatisfiedly, "Anyway, it's impossible for me to think that Leonard has a problem so quickly and not realize that this matter is actually man-made. Can you?"

"Neither can I." Officer Natalie rolled her eyes, "I've just seen his more amazing performances, so I have the highest expectations. And I'm sorry, not complaining."

The two women glared at each other, then turned to Lynch at the same time.

No, you guys are having fun bickering and arguing. Why are you looking at me? I won't answer this kind of question.

Thinking in his mind, Lynch shrugged: "I've found it, it's enough to have this thing."

"ah?"

There were three exclamations at the same time, including Ms. Judy, who had been watching the excitement from behind.

"At least that's enough for them."

Lynch smiled, and seeing that Knight Terry and Dr. Swain also looked regretful, he walked straight over, squatted in front of the murder weapon and said casually:

"The workmanship is very rough. It looks like it was done on a temporary basis, right, Mr. Knight, Ms. Swain."

Dr. Swain was stunned, and nodded while translating for Terry.

"It's no wonder, after all, the ghouls started appearing nearby seven days ago. The real murderer planned to use the ghouls to cover up his actions, which should not exceed that time. And the first deceased appeared three days ago. In other words, he only had four days to prepare these two murder weapons. The time was too tight, and it is reasonable for the workmanship to be rough. "

Lin Qi flicked his fingers with half a smile, and the murder weapon made a crisp sound:

"Does it sound good? What sounds good means good iron. So the question is, what are you struggling with? In a city with a total of 8,000 people, are there many people who can do this kind of work? The murder weapon has been found. According to the source of the murder weapon, this is not an investigation case. common sense?”

"But this is not Leonard's... Right, unless all the previous cases were done by Leonard, but that is obviously impossible. Therefore, this murder weapon can only be given to him by the real murderer, and time is too tight. , Leonard hasn’t had time to return it. As long as the source of the murder weapon is found, the identity of the real murderer cannot be hidden.”

Knight Terry's eyes were already bright, he was muttering in a language that Lynch couldn't understand at all, and he strode towards his subordinates, not forgetting to turn back and say to Dr. Swain:

"Ms. Swain, I am going to trace the source of the murder weapon now. You..."

"You have Leonard sent back to your military camp, and I will follow him. This disease is so contagious. Fortunately, we already have Leonard. I want to see if I can dig out the root cause from him. Come on, if we can find a treatment, we won’t be afraid of the murderer’s plot.”

In the words of my hometown, a word wakes up the dreamer. For a while, the two of them already had a direction and immediately got busy, but they forgot about Lin Qi.

Lynch wasn't angry at all, he just waved his hands to the three ladies and said, "I'll just say that's enough."
