Chapter 30 Confirming the target
Bar.
Relf got off the carriage, and the village directly opposite him was the destination of the trip, Lafren.
Unlike Cassandale, there are churches and castles, there are only low stone buildings here. A few dark-faced peasant women poked their heads out from behind their doors and looked at the official who got off the carriage. It is rare for outsiders to be seen here.
The road construction has not yet begun, and the villages and towns are still dirt roads. Even this main road used for transportation is muddy. Relf breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, his years of working habits made him whisper. When he got off the bus, only the lowest layer of his horse boots was glued to mud.
Puchi!
Lyle jumped out of the carriage. Although it was only less than fifty centimeters from the ground, Lyle landed as if a deep water bomb was detonated under her feet. The splashing mud was like an open big hand, slapped Relf's pants.
This dead child!
Resisting the urge to teach Lyle in public, Relf stretched out a hand to grab him. Because the mud was slippery, Lyle almost became unbalanced in the center of gravity and fell into the mud.
"Have you finally arrived?" William got down the third time. He stretched and was about to get off the car when he met Relf's gaze that seemed to be looking at the dead.
I dared not offend this cold-faced evil official. Although I didn't know what was wrong with me, I got off the carriage with fear and trembling.
Relf felt that he was unfortunate, at least he could be rescued in his uniform. I hope that seeing the mayor would not cause too much embarrassment due to his appearance.
The mayor came soon. He was a middle-aged man with gray hair, with his hair meticulously combed, but he could not avoid being stained with dust. His carefully carved beard was no longer like a commoner. He was wearing a coarse cloth clothes like a commoner, and the boots were dyed yellow. Only the fine silk lining exposed from the cuffs indicated that the farmer-like man standing in front of him had an extraordinary identity.
The mayor looked at Relf's outfit, dressed up meticulously, and the mud covered with his trousers looked funny, but the mayor's curly beard slightly raised. It was obvious that the embarrassment of his clothing no longer existed, and of course he would not smile fifty steps, and a sense of intimacy arose naturally.
The mayor haha, "Welcome, Mr. Sheriff, to my remote countryside, where God's gorgeous clothes will be thrown into the mundane world."
Relf is a careful person, and he can naturally see the mayor's enthusiasm. He seems to have been blessed with his nephew, and there are almost no strangers who have a good first impression of Relf.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Mayor. If possible, I need to take my colleagues to the site to check it out as soon as possible to solve the root cause of the problem."
Relf's decisive behavior was not offensive, and obviously the mayor was happy to hear this sentence, "Of course, diligent gentleman, I will take you to the scene now. We have not moved the body of Mirren, and it is still on the edge of his farm. People in the town are reluctant to stay near him, even his wife. So, if we need help, it may be difficult, but rest assured, I will arrange a few very good guys to follow the command."
"No one is in contact, and it is more convenient for us to find evidence without anyone destroying the scene."
It is said that it is a farm, but it is actually just a large piece of land that has been enclosed. The green seedlings and calves of the plant are high. Not far away is a reed land that is tall for one person, and some of the reeds are already in ruins.
"It's a swamp. There's this wetland environment around the area of Lafren. Please be careful when you are moving around. You may not be able to get out of it if you are not careful. The original Rafilin is even more serious. The townspeople say that in Rafilin, there are people who are swallowed by the swamp almost every month."
As Relf and others approached, the stench of the corpse gradually deepened, and people saw the corpse next to a lodged reed.
Because it has started to rot without low temperature storage, the converted oil is filled under the skin, making the body look fat and swollen.
"Lyle, be careful."
Lyle nodded, pulled out the bird beak mask from her pocket and put it on her face. Put on her gloves, Lyle began his examination.
The zombie zombie stage has passed, the body softens, the left arm disappears, the viscous liquid flows out from the exposed cross-section, the plasma has solidified, and maggots have begun to grow on the minced flesh of the limbs.
The broken arm had no wounds, and the cause of death was excessive blood loss and no rescue.
Lyle carefully looked at a small broken arm that was resting on his left shoulder.
Shibashi hasn't been completely gnawed.
It has been confirmed that it was a wild beast attack.
The broken bones on the broken arm showed that they had received huge crushing force, but unlike the damage caused by blunt force, the squeeze on the flesh and blood could not be identified due to rot, but the remaining broken bones were used as evidence.
That is Shibashi's tooth mark.
Lyle returned with the broken bones. He did not draw a conclusion directly and signaled to Relf, "Look here, following these cracks and this broken wound, it can be confirmed that the deceased's arm was pierced by a sharp object with a diameter of at least ten centimeters. There was also a gap on the back of the bone, but it was not opposite. The two weapons attacked the arm at the same time, and the staggered impact crushed the remaining part of the hand bone. It was impossible to understand how this wound was produced."
"That's the wound of teeth, at least ten centimeters in diameter," Relf said calmly, "It seems that it's Rafilin's giant wolf."
Relf reached a conclusion with the mayor, and he could see that his eyes suddenly became much gloomy. It was obvious that the giant wolf was no longer within his scope of treatment. "Do you need to ask for advice from the church?" People's first reaction to this supernatural time was the church.
"No hurry, I'll check the situation first. I need to take me to the original Rafilin site guide."
"Is it too dangerous? Mr. Sheriff wants to try the insurance in person."
"I have a good attitude, please help me find a clever guide, Mr. Mayor."
"If you insist on doing this."
"Yes."
"Lyle, you and William stay in town. I will go and investigate the situation and I won't take you anymore, so as not to drag you down." Ralf wouldn't tell them that he was going to hunt wolfs.
"OK."
"I understand, sir."
Lyle didn't try to keep him. It's just afternoon, and Shibashi wouldn't come out at all, so there is no need to consider Relf's safety.
Relf nodded, took the iron box and followed the people away.
Lyle walked towards the mayor, "Sir, if you can, my colleagues and I hope to continue testing the body."
"Okay, sir, please be careful. My house is in the center of Lafren. The roof is filled with a weather vane. There is hot water and food waiting for both of you at any time."
"Thank you, sir."
The mayor left without leaving any man.
Watching the others disappear at the end of their sight, Lyle turned to look at William.
"William, are you ready for an adventure?"
Chapter completed!
