Chapter 541 Demon Dog

"Clatter!"

A biting cold air came over the pavement. Duanmu Huai stepped forward and watched a corpse being pulled out from the morgue. This was a middle-aged man in his forties. He had round eyes and looked very panicked.

Look. But that's not the point. The point is... the scars on his chest.

On the man's naked chest, four marks that seemed to have been torn and scratched by ferocious beasts were clearly visible. Just by looking at it, you can guess that this should be a monster like a giant bear, facing in front of you.

The victim was grabbed from the chest, and the sharp claws tore through his muscles and bones leaving traces.

Duanmu Huai stretched out his hand to compare it - well, it was still smaller than his own palm.

"Are there any traces detected? Hair or something?"

"There were hairs that looked like wild beasts found at the wound, but I don't know exactly what animal left them."

As he spoke, the fat forensic doctor once again pulled away the corpse next to him.

"This is?"

"I was also hit by that beast."

Looking at the corpse in front of him, the fat forensic doctor shook his head.

"Can you believe it? The test results show that this man was hit head-on by a large truck with a speed of at least 150 kilometers per hour. But in the deep mountains, where can you find a truck that can drive at a speed of 150 kilometers per hour?

?”

Just as the fat forensic doctor said, the chest of the man's corpse in front of him was completely cracked and completely dented. It looked like the marks left after being violently hit by something. But talking about a truck is obviously an exaggeration, but Duanmuhuai

We can understand the fear of the fat forensic doctor. This is not the ignorant superstition or prejudice of country people, but an unbelievable and unbelievable conclusion reached through existing science and technology.

"So, what you are saying is that there is a head in the mountains near here that is about two meters high..."

Duanmuhuai compared the scars on the previous corpse.

"A demon dog with a speed of over 150 kilometers per hour?"

"That goes beyond my suggestion, sir."

The fat forensic doctor smiled bitterly and took out his handkerchief to wipe the sweat on his forehead - even in such a cold place as the morgue, he seemed unable to stop his sweating.

"Frankly speaking, I don't know what happened, and I don't want to know. I'm just a forensic scientist. I just give the answers I got from the investigation through my own work. Of course, if you want to ask me for my personal opinion - During this time, I will go home immediately after get off work instead of going to the pub to kill time, maybe most people here are like this. Until all this cursed trouble is completely solved."

"Okay then, where are the rest of the bodies?"

"Most of them have been taken away by their families. These two are escorts from out of town and their families have not yet arrived, so they stay here."

"If I want to know more details about that night, who should I go to?"

"You can go find Chief Test, he's been in a bad mood lately... Well, you'll understand when you meet him."

Duanmuhuai quickly understood what the fat forensic doctor meant. In fact, when he came to the Sheriff's Office, he saw an old policeman with a haggard face and listless spirit. This was normal. According to the fat forensic doctor, that night was

He was responsible for leading a team to go hunting with the Baskerville young master. However, so many police officers died later, which was obviously not an easy thing for his superior.

Fortunately, Duanmuhuai opened up the chatterbox of this decadent police chief without much effort.

"Actually, strictly speaking, I may not know much more than you do."

Fidgeting with the pipe in his hand, Chief Tester leaned on his chair and spoke calmly.

"I was entrusted by Fred at the time... He insisted that a wild beast attacked his parents in the mountains and caused their death. I also watched the scene at that time. Out of responsibility for the local residents, of course I did not

Bloodthirsty and man-eating beasts are allowed to roam here."

"But why choose night?"

Duanmu Huai raised his own question.

"To be honest, I think there is no stupider choice than going into the mountains at night."

"I think so too, but unfortunately Mr. Fred doesn't think so."

Chief Tester sighed helplessly.

"I tried to dissuade him at that time, hoping that he would wait until the morning and then we would be ready before setting off. But at that time, a strange howling sound suddenly appeared outside..."

"Howling?"

"Yes, it sounded like a wolf and a dog, but I had never heard such a weird howling sound. At that time, Fred also heard the sound, and he immediately summoned Baskerville impatiently.

The family’s guards then went into the mountains, trying to find and kill the beast. As a police officer, of course I couldn’t just watch him take risks, so I also led people and followed Mr. Fred into the mountains.”

Speaking of this, Chief Test's expression began to become a little stiff.

"Like you said, going into the mountains late at night is not a good idea. We were as prepared as possible, bringing flashlights and hunting dogs. To be honest, we didn't know what we were looking for. Maybe it was a wolf, maybe it was a wild dog.

Something like that. The temperature on the mountain was very low, and it was also foggy. We ran around like headless flies without any clues. Then...the screams suddenly sounded."

"Screams?"

Hearing this, Duanmuhuai raised his eyebrows, while Chief Test nodded.

"Yes, it was Mr. Fred's scream. We don't know what he encountered, but at that time, his miserable scream was as if he had seen the most terrifying thing in the world that drove him crazy.

Then...the hounds in our team seemed to have noticed something. They began to scream desperately, broke free from their collars, and fled as fast as they could. Then there was the sound of gunshots. We felt that the team in front had encountered something.

, so we hurried over."

As Chief Tester spoke, he stretched out his hands, clenched his fists, and looked stiff.

"But it was too late when we went there. There were only corpses, corpses everywhere, the guards Fred brought, and my good policemen, they... Oh, I'm sorry, I lost my temper a little,

But it was something I’ll never forget. Maybe I should have stopped Fred from doing that, and it might have been better.”

"Then we went down the mountain."

Sheriff Test sighed.

"Everyone was scared at that time, fearing that they would be the next people to die in the mountain, so we ran desperately towards the foot of the mountain and returned to the bottom again. Then we huddled together and stayed there shivering all night.

It wasn't until dawn the next day that we went to the mountains again to collect the corpses."

"alright, I got it."

Hearing this, Duanmuhuai and Lorena looked at each other, then reached out and touched the black cat in their pocket.

"Have there been any similar things since then? For example, howling, or seeing any monsters or something like that?"

"No, everything was normal after that. It seemed like we just had a nightmare that night... Hey, it would be great if it was really a nightmare."

"Who else is in the Baskervilles now?"

"The old housekeeper should be here. Many people have left. There should be a few servants left. The only one left is... Fred's wife, Baroness Vivian Baskerville. What a pity.

She had only been married to her husband for less than two years, and she encountered something like this. I really couldn’t bear to see her... Oh, by the way, the eldest lady of the Brontë family seems to be recuperating here. If you encounter

If so, please be sure not to disturb them."

"They're in town?"

"Of course not, it's in their own villa. I heard that something happened, so they came here to recuperate. I didn't expect that such a thing would happen..."

"oh……………"

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai nodded.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that this name sounded familiar?

For Mary, it was her first time to come to a health resort and appreciate the scenery and mountains here.

I have to say that compared to the foggy city, which is always dark and full of fog, the air here is fresher and the environment is more comfortable.

"I never thought we could spend Christmas with Charlie."

Sitting at the table, drinking tea and eating desserts, Ashelika looked at Charlie beside her with a smile. The latter's physical condition had improved a lot, but she had been lying unconscious in bed for several months.

, currently she still needs to undergo physical rehabilitation. Of course, in terms of daily life, Xia Li has gradually recovered.

"Me too... Speaking of Mr. Howard?"

"He has work to do, but he promised to give us a very expensive gift at Christmas."

"Then we'll have to wait and see."

Hearing Ashelika's answer, Mary smiled slightly, then looked at Charlie, who shook her head with a wry smile.

"Will there be anything going on in town for Christmas?"

"The town seems a little uneasy recently."

At this time, Charlie's maid Donna also came to the girls and poured them a cup of tea.

"Ladies, I beg you not to go out casually. I heard that something seems to have happened here. It's safe in the house, but it's hard to tell outside."

"Don't worry so much, Donna."

Charlie comforted softly.
