"It's an island." The words of the female doctor extinguished some people's last hope: "I climbed to the top of the mountain and saw that the opposite side of the mountain is almost the same size as this side. It is surrounded by the sea level and there is no sign of any land. According to the shape of the mountain
It is so high that there is no land or other islands for hundreds of kilometers around. We are completely trapped here."
Everyone was frustrated for a while, and then discussed the color of Qu Yun's flame and the possibility of successful firing. Then they naturally turned to the issue of Boss Chen's disappearance. From the time when Qu Yun and the others left at the end to when the cleaner was the first to return, this
For several hours, no one saw how Boss Chen disappeared.
It was originally estimated that this person just went to the toilet or wandered around, but now it is obviously not the case. This reminds people of the foreign student who disappeared inexplicably yesterday. Everyone frowned and their eyes wandered from time to time.
Wei Quan's glance.
"No, no, no, no, we have to find him, Boss Chen..."
Qu Yun glanced at the cleaner. Yesterday, he tried his best to protect Boss Chen. It seemed that he was doing it for the money that Boss Chen promised. People at the bottom of society will seize the opportunity when they get the chance to rise to the top. Most people will unconsciously do so.
I want to go there.
However, Qu Yun doesn't see it that way. It's hard to say whether she can leave here. She doesn't know from her expression that Boss Chen doesn't intend to actually give money. She feels that the cleaner actually doesn't care about money at all. What's interesting is that this person is better than he looks.
Much more interesting.
"You have to see people alive and you have to see corpses. It's so insecure to be so unclear. I suggest that everyone light torches now and follow me to search the mountains." In comparison, Zhi Weiquan seems simple.
Too much. His words are nothing more than two-centered, to clear away his own suspicions and to seize the initiative.
"It's too dangerous to go into the woods now..." Zhen Hui shrank his neck, "During the day we saw a little basilisk beside the stream, thousands of them."
"That's right, I already had experience yesterday. It's impossible to go out at this time." Long Tao was still calm as usual. Although he tried his best to keep up with the female doctor during the day, he seemed to have lost confidence: "Old Chen is here
Those who disappeared in the camp must have clues here. Let’s check in the camp first.”
Since they had no idea that Boss Chen might be missing, Qu Yun and the others spent the entire afternoon walking all over the beach near the camp, leaving scattered footprints everywhere. Her superhuman reconnaissance ability was limited to hearing, and this kind of checking for clues was enough.
Nothing can be done.
Pretending to add fuel, Qu Yun tore out another scroll of lighting flames and put it into the kiln. It was indeed a scroll for lighting. The originally dim green light suddenly became brighter. Even though most of it was blocked by the kiln, it still covered dozens of square meters around it.
The area is illuminated green and translucent.
Long Tao squatted on the ground and stroked the sand, and suddenly became alert: "This area originally had traces of fighting, but it was covered up, and then it was dragged from here. Look at this incomplete footprint, facing the direction of the camp, but the heel is longer than the toe.
It's so deep. It was obviously left behind when dragging heavy objects backwards."
He looked at the footprints retreating towards the sea with a troubled expression. Although it was not too far there, it was already beyond the range of the campfire and the lighting of Quyun Kiln. According to last night's experience, the tide would rise at night, so we would check it out at dawn tomorrow.
There is nothing left.
As for torches, you can't just light a branch and use it as a torch. It's not that Qu Yun doesn't know how to make it, even Long Tao can make it. But first, it takes time, and second, the materials are really limited now.
"Follow... follow me, I, I usually work early in the morning, look, look, see." The cleaner stepped forward.
Everyone still took two half-burned branches, although they could not provide any lighting at all. With the flickering firelight, everyone followed the cleaners to the beach. The camp itself was built on the beach, except for a few people.
It is a high reef with flat sand on both sides.
Long Tao came out and grabbed the cleaner. He used the weak light of the fire to slip and climb onto the rocks in the middle. After wandering around for a while, he suddenly shouted: "Bring the torch up!"
Qu Yun asked for a half-burnt branch from the female doctor, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled. It felt really uncomfortable to have a lot of equipment but not be able to use it. If it weren't for the veteran regiment,
Has a female doctor ever felt so aggrieved in front of a newcomer?
Amid everyone's surprised gazes, Qu Yun climbed onto the rock in two or three steps. Through her familiarity with her mutation ability, she is now able to completely break away from her reliance on vision when necessary. Within the range of her sound-defining imaging,
There is not much difference between operating in absolute darkness and during the day.
Among all the surprised eyes, the one who was most surprised was Long Tao. Only he knew how dangerous and difficult it was to climb up the reef in the dark. The reef itself has many places where you can step on and it is not difficult to climb. What is difficult is that it is easy to step on if you can't see.
Kong. was surprised with a hint of frustration. Ever since he came to this desert island, the skills he was once proud of have been repeatedly crushed by these "ordinary" women.
With Qu Yun's illumination, Long Tao touched the rocks and went into the sea. Qu Yun could hear a human figure floating on the water. Long Tao touched it and pulled it. He took out his saber and cut the rattan around the waist of the human figure.
After cutting off the rope, he dragged him back to the shore. The other end of the rattan was probably tied to a heavy stone, or it was tied directly to the edge of the reef below the sea level.
The human figure was dragged to the campfire in one breath. It was the body of the missing boss Chen. The back was full of holes made by knife barrels. It was turned over and the front was cut open, and the heart was missing.
"Generally, if you want to take the heart out of a person's chest, you can't do it because of the size problem, unless you cut open the ribs. But Boss Chen's ribs were opened with great force to create a gap where the heart can be taken out. See here
, it was broken off from here." The female doctor looked over the body, and Zhen Hui on one side turned pale for a while, but the others were calmer than the other.
"426 Murderer." Long Tao read out a name quietly.
"What?" Qu Yun didn't understand.
"The 426 Murderer is the worst criminal case that occurred after the Dayong War. The body of the first victim was found in the capital of Liangzhou on April 26, six years ago. In the following three months, twelve consecutive murders occurred.
All of the victims were stabbed in the back and their hearts were ripped out.
The imperial court suppressed this incident and did not report it, but it spread widely among the people. The Tingwei Mansion concluded that the same murderer committed the crime, and they coordinated with the army to encircle and suppress the murderer many times but failed to catch the culprit. The case has been unsolved to this day." She answered.
Female doctor.
"I once participated in a coordinated manhunt, and it felt like I was being dragged to fly a kite. The orders from above were given one location after another, and there were new clues at each location. In the end, I found out that I was being led around in a big circle.
, we didn't even touch the prisoner's shadow. The court did not allow the report, but how do you know so detailedly?" Long Tao looked at the female doctor suspiciously. The female doctor did not answer, but smiled and shook the scalpel in his hand.
