"I..." Liang Meng couldn't help but blurt out something not very elegant. Jian Yu slapped him on the forehead and immediately covered his mouth.
"I was so excited that I couldn't control it for a moment. I couldn't control it for a moment." Liang Mang said hurriedly: "We are all rough people. Don't blame Miss Bai. You didn't hear anything."
Bai Yue waved her hand. She had seen too many rough people, and Liang Meng and the others really didn't count. Especially Jian Yu, who sometimes spoke in a polite manner with a few words, which made her want to laugh. There was such a difference between ancient and modern times, like
It was Jian Yu and Liang Meng who were like this. If they really had a quarrel, she felt that she could deal with ten or eight of them by herself.
After Bai Yue tugged, Qi Min came over to take over and continued to pull the rope down.
The roof of the darkroom is empty. Rather than being a roof, it is more like a courtyard hidden in two rooms, but with a false roof.
The bottom is a very thick raincloth, covered with straw. Sections of the straw are fixed with ropes. When the rope is pulled down, the two raincloths on the roof are pulled apart left and right, and the yard emerges brightly from the water.
"This design is wonderful." Xu Feiyang couldn't help but said: "You can't tell it's a courtyard from the top. It's very hidden, but the top is bright and breathable, and it can keep out the rain when it rains."
"That is to say, it is useless in this place, even in a slightly more prosperous place." Jian Yu said: "As long as there is a taller building around, this top cannot be opened."
Xu Feiyang scratched his head: "That's right."
Now there was no need for fire, and everyone saw that it was an empty courtyard. The so-called empty meant that there was nothing. An empty courtyard, except for a long-dead person lying on the ground.
"Although the smell here is very unpleasant, I can feel that the air is circulating and the temperature is lower than normal indoors, so I suspect there is a very large vent here." Bai Yue walked over and squatted down in front of the man.
.
This is a middle-aged man, with a big chest and a round waist, and a curly beard. He is wearing a dirty coarse cloth, his eyes are wide open, and he looks like he is dead.
"Liang Meng." Jian Yu said, "Ask someone you know to come in and see if this person is Butcher Hong."
Liang Meng responded and ran out. Bai Yue followed closely and warned: "Call someone who is bolder. Don't scare people."
Liang Meng is impatient and impatient in his work. Don't bring in an enthusiastic aunt and be frightened to death after seeing this scene. It's a crime.
Soon the identity of the corpse was confirmed, it was Butcher Hong.
Bai Yue took out his gloves from his pocket and put them on, then turned Butcher Hong's huddled body around.
Butcher Hong's body was covered in scars and blood, but at a glance you could see that the biggest wound and the most concentrated bleeding was on his left shoulder.
The clothes were torn apart, and a large gash was opened on the left shoulder. The blood was all covered with blood, and then formed a pool of water, which of course has dried up now.
Bai Yue leaned over to take a look and whispered: "The deceased should have died from the bite of some kind of animal. A piece of flesh was torn off his shoulder, which caused a lot of blood loss..."
"There is indeed a lot of blood on the ground." Liang Meng looked at the ground and sighed: "It seems that he fought to the death with that thing before he died, otherwise the blood wouldn't be everywhere."
The place where Liang Meng spoke was quite far away from the corpse. He looked at his feet, and it was obvious that there were blood stains under his feet.
Bai Yue walked over and looked where Liang Meng was looking.
"Miss Bai, look." Liang Meng said, "There are still a lot of blood stains here... I don't know if there is blood from that thing. Although the butcher didn't bring a knife with him, he was very powerful.
Looks like, unless he has a tiger in his yard, otherwise, he can't kill him without hurting him at all, right?"
It is impossible to raise a tiger. In the shantytown, the houses are next to each other, and the secret room is empty above. Unless the tiger he raises is mute, otherwise, the very identifiable sound will be heard by the neighbors.
Not just at Liang Meng's feet, Bai Yue looked over little by little and saw dots of blood on the ground.
"These bloodstains are not from Butcher Hong, and the time does not match up. The bloodstains are old and new. Some of them don't seem to be old, and some of them should be several months old." When Bai Yue said this, everyone's hearts sank.
Among the seven missing people in the shanty town, preliminary estimates indicate that the earliest one was two months ago. And because of the special environment here, there may not be any missing people who have not been found;
"The blood on the ground is wrong." Bai Yue shook his head: "If it was bitten by an animal or caused by a sharp weapon, the blood stain would be in the shape of a spray, or it would be in the shape of water droplets along the wound, instead of being in the shape of dots like now.
, block-shaped horizontal stripes, and a very light but sticky feeling, mixed with mud."
In fact, everyone felt something was wrong from the moment they saw drops of blood all over the floor. However, the feeling of something wrong filled their bodies, but they could not express it clearly until Bai Yue summarized the situation in front of him.
"Yes, that's what you said. Butcher Hong's blood is one thing. The blood on the ground is another thing." Jian Yu said: "The murderer may be a large beast, very powerful, with a huge body and sharp claws.
, you can hunt down Butcher Hong. It may also be a certain weapon that simulates the appearance of the beast's claws. Is there someone testing some kind of weapon here?"
"It's hard to say now." Bai Yue muttered: "But looking at the blood stains on the ground, it's the traces left by the ground being washed and then swept with a broom. Maybe they felt in danger when we were looking for the missing person, or maybe they had gone out before.
There was an accident, and before leaving, they cleaned up the scene, washed the floor with water, and used brooms to clean up the blood stains...or they even took away bone remains and the like."
Everyone suddenly realized that the long strips of traces might have been swept by someone with a broom. No wonder the dirt floor was cut into countless traces.
Whether it was a wild beast biting or testing a weapon, it would be too cruel to use a living life. I could only be glad that Xia was not picked up, otherwise he would have fainted from crying when he heard that grandma might have been fed to a wild beast alive.
"I still prefer to be bitten by ferocious beasts." Bai Yue checked Butcher Hong's body again: "There are not only bite marks on his body, but also scratch marks. They were bitten by holding down. If it is a weapon, unless it is
A wearable weapon that simulates the fangs and claws of wild beasts, otherwise it would only leave a single wound anyway."
Wearable weapons are a new term to Jian Yu and others, but it is not difficult to understand. It means putting fangs on a person's head and steel claws on his hands, which actually doesn't mean much.
This set of equipment must be very heavy and will affect your flexibility and freedom. If your kung fu is good enough to jump up and down with such a heavy set of equipment, then you can kill people with a dagger in your hand, so there is no need to go to such trouble.
