Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Hawkeye was at the forefront of the team, and he led the crowd through the narrow path in the forest. After two or three minutes, the eyes of the people walking out of the path suddenly opened up.  Now in front of them was an open space, and what appeared in the open space was a pile of highly decomposed corpses, with flies flying around.

    Getting a little closer, Hawkeye realized that it was not a human corpse.  But even so, everyone still smelled a disgusting stench.  The expressions on everyone's faces were ugly, and everyone frowned subconsciously.  Turning his head to look at the officer, Hawkeye said: "Now the security work on the periphery can start. If there is anything found, let them report it in time."

    "yes."

    The officer drew out a team of people, and after dividing the team into several groups, each group set off towards their target location.  After explaining the task, the officer was about to ask Hawkeye what instructions he had.

    But looking towards Hawkeye, he found that Hawkeye and the others were gathering around the dead animal.  Taking a closer look, the officer found that these animals were of different types, including chickens, ducks, sheep, and pigs.  Food is precious in the wilderness. Many settlements don¡¯t even have food in stock, and people can¡¯t get enough to eat, let alone raise livestock.  Speaking of which, Yehuo Village can raise livestock, thanks to Qingshui City.  It is precisely because of the cooperation with Qingshui City that Yehuo Village at least has no worries about food and drink. In their spare time, some people in the village raise some livestock.

    Finding a branch, Hawkeye pushed aside the piled corpses, and suddenly a stench hit everyone. Even the soldiers who had been on the battlefield couldn't bear the stench at this time, and covered their noses with their hands.

    This is true of the city defense forces in the distance, not to mention Hawkeye and others around the corpse, especially Hawkeye.  In order to find clues, he did not hesitate to activate the ability of the medal.  Although the medal gave him powerful perception and sensitive senses, it also made his brain boil after smelling the stench.

    Stuck in place, Hawkeye felt as if something had exploded in his mind, and his thinking completely stopped.  Suppressing the stench, Hawkeye had to hold his breath for a while.  After a few minutes of slowing down, Hawkeye felt a little better, but the investigation would continue.

    No way, Hawkeye could only cover his nose with one hand and clean up the scene with the other.  With the flipping of Hawkeye, large numbers of flies soared into the sky, matching this scene, the face of the officer next to him also changed again and again.  The highly decomposed animal carcasses made it clear that the animals were long dead.

    The immediate focus is to find out the cause of death of these animals.  According to the available information, all the people in Yehuo Village have died, and all the animals have also died. It must be clarified whether the two are related.  The most important thing is that these animal carcasses are piled up in one place, which is obviously abnormal, and there must be human factors.

    With a preliminary conclusion in mind, Hawkeye planned to look for clues on the animal corpses.  Unfortunately, Hawkeye is neither a forensic doctor nor a veterinarian, and the clues he can obtain are quite limited.

    Not discouraged, Hawkeye stood up and said to the comb: "You and the iron bucket are in charge of the house over there, and I am in charge of the shadow here. If you have any questions, please contact me in time."

    Glancing in the direction of Hawkeye's finger, Comb nodded.  Immediately afterwards, Hawkeye said to the officer: "Your task is to check all the places in the village except the houses. Once you find anything suspicious, record it immediately. After you finish the investigation, report the results to me."

    "yes."

    After quickly assigning tasks, the most important part of the investigation came.  Walking into a house with Lu Ming, Hawkeye found two corpses lying on the ground as soon as they entered the door, but this time, the dead were villagers from the village.

    Squatting down, eagle eyes covered his nose and carefully observed the two corpses. Judging from the clothes and posture, they were two male corpses. One of the deceased was older and relatively thinner.  The other deceased was obviously much younger, with a slightly muscular physique.

    Like the animals outside, both of the deceased had been dead for some time, and the corpses were also in a highly decomposed condition.  Thinking of the information he had received, Hawkeye speculated that the two may have died for at least a week.

    Although no obvious wounds were found, with the ability of the medal, Hawkeye discovered that there was an extremely weak spiritual power in the deceased.  But the place where the spiritual power remains is in the head of the deceased.

    After being puzzled for a while, Hawkeye had a vague guess in his mind.

    As the investigation continued, the duo inspected more homes.  As with the information provided by Zhang Haoran, all of these deceased died in their rooms, and many of them died in front of their own homes.  Such an unusual point also caught Hawkeye's attention. Although he knew from the beginning that the death of the villagers was not normal, after checking the scene, Hawkeye realized how weird it was.

    carefully searched allAfter entering the house, Hawkeye couldn't help but fell into deep thought. Lu Ming didn't bother him, but observed the surrounding environment.

    Wildfire Village is located in a forest, and every household in the village is not too far apart. It stands to reason that if there is any abnormality, even at midnight, someone must be able to hear the movement.  But now everyone in the entire village has died, let alone the strange way of death, and there are no survivors, which is a bit strange no matter how you think about it.

    Just when Hawkeye was still thinking, the comb and the iron bucket walked towards this side.

    Hearing the sound of footsteps, Hawkeye recovered from his contemplation. He looked at the comb and said, "Did you find anything?"

    Comb shook his head and said, "No." I don't know if it was because of this result, or because of the tragedy of the deceased, Comb's complexion was a little ugly.  The iron bucket beside him didn't speak, but his immature face was also full of seriousness.

    After the four of them got together and sorted out the findings of the search, Hawkeye learned that the situation on Comb's side was similar to his own here.  Frowning slightly, Hawkeye was about to speak when suddenly the officer rushed over from a distance.

    "Sir, we have a discovery here!"

    Hawkeye looked at him with some surprise in his eyes, and couldn't help asking: "What discovery?"

    "Please come to me."

    After finishing speaking, the officer led Hawkeye and others to an open space in the village.  He pointed to the stone well cover and said: "We found a well here, which should be used for daily life in the village. After opening the well cover, the water level in the well was not high. We looked at it with a searchlight and found a cigarette butt floating in the water  .¡±

    "This is it."

    Taking the sealed plastic bag from someone else, the officer handed it to Hawkeye.

    Looking at the cigarette butts stored in the transparent plastic bag, Hawkeye looked carefully several times, but he didn't find anything special except that the brand of this cigarette had never been seen before.  But finding a cigarette butt in the well is quite special in itself.

    Just imagine, the well is used by the villagers for their daily lives, and it is covered with a manhole cover, so no one will be so bored as to throw cigarette butts into it.  The strange way of death of the villagers flashed through his mind, and his eagle-eyed intuition told him that this cigarette butt was of great value.

    The people of the city defense army continued to search for a while, but after that they found nothing else.  As it was getting late, Hawkeye ordered the search operation to be suspended.  Back to the parking place, everyone rested for a while.

    Given what we've seen while searching, many people have a weak appetite for dinner.  Therefore, everyone just ate some hastily.  After thinking for a while, Hawkeye and the Special Affairs Division reported the situation of the search. Zhang Haoran discussed with Hawkeye after hearing this, and finally the two decided to stay here tonight and wait until dawn tomorrow before proceeding.  village search
