Huangsha Road, the yellow sand is hazy, and the strong wind from the Gobi Desert pours into the Huangsha Road crossing, making a whining ghost whistle. This is located in the north of Xisha City, less than five kilometers east of Shaqiu Town. Because sometimes there are caravans coming in and out.
Huangsha Road, in order to protect the safety of the people in the town, the guards of Dune Town often patrol this area, firstly to find out if there are any signs of wild beasts, and secondly, to prevent people from being killed so that their bodies will not be thrown into the wilderness.
Eaten by wild beasts.
Two days later, Binx came here with the security team. In fact, this place is not very far from Xisha City, but the weather is hot and the roads are difficult, so it only took two days to get there.
"There is Huangsha Road ahead."
The whistling wind and sand are particularly strong here, perhaps because of the terrain. There are two high and continuous pieces of wasteland on both sides of the yellow sand road. Only this opening less than forty meters wide is like a gap leading to the depths. In this Gobi wasteland
The flowing wind gathered here, forming the strange ghost howling sound in front of me.
The guard who was guiding the way said: "To the west from here is Sand Dune Town, and we found the mayor's body in front."
"walk over."
The further we walked toward the entrance, the stronger the wind became. The sand and stones on the ground were blown up by the wind, which hit our bodies very painfully. Everyone was riding on sand camels, covering their faces with towels and wrapping their heads with cloths. Only their eyes were exposed.
Looking at the scene outside, he walked forward under the leadership of two guards.
"There seems to be someone ahead!" A sharp-eyed person saw several figures in the wind and sand.
"Go over and have a look." Binx pinched the hunchback's belly and walked over quickly.
As expected, there were five people at the foot of the mountain. At this time, they were also looking at the camel caravan approaching them.
"Hey, it's you!" As he got closer, Binx saw that one of the five people at the foot of the mountain was Alice, whom he had met at the manor.
Alice covered her face with a silk scarf with one hand and waved to them, shouting: "You guys are coming so slowly."
"Why are you here?"
Alice waited for them to come closer before saying, "Why are you here? That's why I'm here."
"What did you say?" Binx said angrily: "You guy, don't hinder my investigation. If you really make me angry, I'll catch you and throw you into the dungeon."
"Mayor, is that the mayor?" Two guards leading the way caught up from behind. They jumped off the sand camel and stepped forward to see that it was indeed the mayor.
An elderly man among the four people beside Alice squinted his presbyopic eyes before he recognized the person: "Ah, it's you. Did you escort the body back?"
"Yes." A guard introduced to the mayor: "This is the Sheriff of Xisha City, Mr. Lurkav Binks. He is here to investigate the murder of Mayor Khalid."
"Oh." The mayor of Sand Dune nodded: "I have met Mr. Sheriff Bingkes and I know him."
Binx got off his hump and said: "Mayor, how come you are here and still with this little girl at your age?"
The mayor of Shaqiu asked curiously: "Why, wasn't she sent by Xisha City to investigate the case?"
"What? Send her to investigate the case?" Binx laughed: "How can we let a little girl investigate the case?"
"But..." the mayor of Dune said: "But this girl Alice said that she came from Xisha City, and Sir Cobochin asked her to come to understand the situation. When I heard that it was someone sent by the Sir, I didn't dare
I was so lazy that I personally brought three of the most capable guards with her to inspect the scene."
"Humph, she was lying to you!" Binx said angrily: "You are really confused. Do you believe such nonsense? How could Jazz and I let a child come to such an important matter as the mayor's murder?
Nonsense!”
"Ah!" The mayor of Dune pointed at Alice, blowing his beard and glaring in anger.
Alice smiled mischievously: "Don't be angry, old man. It's not good for your health to be angry. And who said I lied to you? I was appointed by Sir Lurkav to come here to understand the situation.
"
"You're talking nonsense!" Binx was furious and pointed at Alice: "Come here, arrest her and put her in jail when you get back to the city!"
Although Lucas and Jennifer who were traveling with Alice knew each other, it was hard to say anything at this time. However, before the officers and soldiers could take action, Alice said first: "I found a few clues here.
First, this is not a murder scene. I have inspected the surrounding areas, including Huangsha Road, and there are no signs of fighting nearby. In other words, as you expected, this is just a corpse dumping scene, not a real murder scene.
The location should be somewhere else. Secondly, when I was checking nearby just now, I found a letter under the big rock over there." He took out the letter from his pocket and shook it in his hand.
"Bring me the letter," Binx said angrily.
The letter was handed over to Binx. He looked at it and said: "Sure enough, the murder of Mayor Khalid and the murder in the Jazz Manor were done by the same person. It says 'Death continues, this is the first time.
Eight victims, but it will not be the last one. I will make you live in infinite fear.'" After saying that, he handed the letter to several people from Copochinbo.
Jennifer frowned: "This is the eighth deceased, not the tenth? Who is the tenth?"
Epsilon said: "Nine people have died in the manor. This is the eighth. The gardener who died in the manor last time should be the tenth."
Binx said: "So, the murder notice received two nights ago still doesn't have a corresponding deceased?"
Epsilin said with a serious face: "Yes, that means someone will still die."
Binx asked Alice: "Is there a third one?"
"Thirdly, not yet." Alice smiled: "I only came here not long before you, so I only found so much."
Binx snorted: "For the sake of your honesty, I won't let the soldiers tie you up. But you are really suspicious. Before I figure out what you want to do, please give me
Stay here honestly until I take you back to Xisha City for interrogation."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Alice ignored what he said, but asked: "By the way, do you have Mayor Khalid's autopsy report with you?
"
"Why do you ask?"
Alice said: "I told you that I was entrusted by Mr. Sir to come here to investigate the case. How could I not read the autopsy report on this serial murder case?"
Binx was angry: "How dare you talk nonsense? When did the Jazz entrust you with this matter?!"
"If you don't believe it, you can ask Sir when you get back. I won't leave anyway. But now I want to see the autopsy report, right away."
Binx was really angry, but he saw that Alice's words seemed to be true, so he didn't dare to confirm whether she was lying. He did meet Alice when he was at the manor, so maybe this was the case.
Unsure. He thought for a moment and said, "I didn't bring the autopsy report with me. If you want to see it, just wait until you return to Xisha City."
"Oh." Alice was a little disappointed.
At this time, Jennifer stepped forward and said: "It doesn't matter, I have read that report and I still remember the contents. Why don't I tell you about it."
Alice pursed her lips and smiled: "Thank you then, sister Jennifer."
Because there were more people, everyone expanded the scope of the investigation. In fact, this is just a corpse dumping site. There is nothing interesting to see. It is good to get so many clues. However, the mayor of a city must be dead. It is of great importance. Even if
As a matter of routine, Binx also had to go to the scene to search carefully, not to mention that this was not just a matter of routine.
After listening to Jennifer's autopsy report, Alice couldn't help but think deeply, because there were many doubts in it, and the most doubtful one was the time.
"Is it a routine matter for you to go to Wong Sha Road to look for you?"
"yes."
"How often do you usually come to visit?"
Epsilin was asking the guard who found the body. Alice, who was not far away, heard it and came over. This was exactly what she wanted to ask.
The guard said: "This is not necessarily true. Generally, inspections are done every five days, but sometimes the intervals are longer, maybe seven days, or ten days."
"Then how many days passed between your last inspection and this one?"
"Five days." The guard said firmly.
"Five days." Epsilin said: "The autopsy report said that the death time of the deceased was eleven to thirteen days ago, that is, between June 15th and June 17th, and when you found the body,
On June 28, you sent the body to Xisha City three days later, right?"
The guard thought about it for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes, that's right."
Epsilin added: "The time when the murderer dumped the body was between June 23rd after you completed the inspection and June 28th. From the time when the deceased was killed to the time when the body was dumped on Huangsha Road, there was a gap of 6 to 13 days.
Days later, this is strange, why did the murderer take so long to dump the body, and why did he dump it here?"
The guard was confused when he heard this: "Is there any other reason for dumping the body? Maybe the murderer just found a deserted place and dumped it."
Epsilin was about to open his mouth when he heard someone next to him say: "No. Mayor Khalid was heading west when he was out on business. If the murderer just dumped the body casually, he wouldn't have dumped it here." It was Alice who was speaking.
He held his chin in thought and said: "This is the north of Xisha City, too far away from the direction of the mayor. And this place is not suitable for dumping corpses at all. Generally speaking, murderers will choose rivers to dump corpses, and the woods are more secluded.
The better the place, the better, but you said that the Yellow Sand Crossing is the only eastbound passage here, and caravans will pass by here from time to time. Doesn't this defeat the purpose of dumping the corpse?"
Epsilin looked at Alice and said nothing.
The guard nodded and said, "Hey, what you said makes sense. But why did the murderer dump the body here again?"
