You're Guilty: Conspiracy Scene 2 crime escalation

Chapter 39
There are seven members of the joint investigation team. In addition to the four criminal police officers in the special case team, there are also Xing Hao, an associate researcher at the Quzhou Institute of Geography, and Jian Chun, an associate professor at the Department of Biology at Quzhou State University. Both are in their early thirties. age.Several academic authorities were delighted to see Liexin, and felt that once a new species of creature was discovered, it would be a good opportunity to make a name for themselves, and it would be relatively safe to be escorted by a criminal policeman.Considering that they were relatively old and worried about accidents, the Public Security Bureau politely refused.

While the investigation team climbed Cangmang Mountain to find the truth, Li Guanlan led three police officers to the 7664 factory again. After contacting the security department, they re-registered more than a dozen workers who had disappeared within three years, and conducted a detailed investigation on the background of each person. .

The process of Xu Tianhua and his party going up the mountain can be called "overcoming thorns and thorns".The Cangmang Mountains on the side adjacent to Factory 7664 seem to have never been climbed by anyone. The investigation team had to hold sticks and machetes, push through the bushes, and cut off the sharp sawtooths and barbs on the branches of unknown plants in order to find the way with difficulty. Forward.

The members of the investigation team made full preparations in advance, and started to go up the mountain at six o'clock in the morning.They wore thick climbing clothes and hiking shoes, and each of them carried a shoulder bag on their backs, which contained walkie-talkie, supplies, trauma medicine, lighting, compass and other equipment.At about ten o'clock in the morning, when we climbed halfway up the mountain, several people were already sweating profusely and out of breath, and the clothes on their bodies were scratched in several places from east to west.

Several people found a place where the trees were relatively sparse, sat down on the rocks, and took out water bottles to drink in large swigs to replenish the lack of water in their bodies.Among these people, Jian Chun and Xing Hao were the most excited.For the four criminal policemen, this trip is just one of thousands of field missions, but for the two scholars, there is an opportunity to make great achievements hidden in it.Jian Chun thought in his heart, if this trip yields practical results and he writes an influential thesis based on this material, he will be able to win the title selection next year and remove the word "deputy" in front of the professor.As if to boost his fighting spirit, Jian Chun asked Xu Feifei again: "According to your judgment, what is the probability that the two monsters that Zheng Danmei encountered were wildlings?"

Xu Feifei was asked the same question several times by him. Fortunately, she was very patient and said unhurriedly: "You need to tell us. You are experts and scholars, and you have more right to speak than me."

Jian Chun seemed to be answering Xu Feifei, and also seemed to comfort himself, "It stands to reason that there has never been a savage in Songjiang Province, and there is no relevant record in various documents. From these aspects, it makes people feel not very optimistic. But according to the description and analysis of the person concerned, it does not look like other beasts, otherwise Ye Liqun would not have the chance to escape unscathed. Of course, if those two beasts were disguised by humans, our efforts would be meaningless."

Xu Feifei understood Jian Chun's worry about gains and losses, so she smiled and didn't answer.

Several people rested for more than ten minutes, and seeing that it was ten thirty, Xu Tianhua said: "We've only gone half way, in order to get down the mountain before dark, let's get tired and continue on our way. "The whole group agreed, and stood up one after another. Suddenly, Xing Hao uttered a scream.Xing Hao's voice was already a bit sharp, but this sudden scream was so high-pitched and piercing that everyone trembled in fright.Xu Tianhua instinctively leaned his back against a tree, pressed the pistol at his waist with his right hand, and asked, "What's going on?"

Xing Hao pointed his finger at the person directly opposite him. He didn't know whether it was excitement or fear, and his voice trembled, "Then... there, it's there."

Xu Tianhua followed his fingers to look over, and there were only dense forests and bushes in front of him, rustling in the wind.Xu Tianhua said: "Don't be afraid, tell us what you saw?"

Xing Hao realized that he had lost his composure in front of the crowd, swallowed, calmed down and said, "Just now there was a grimace looking at us, it was a grimace, it was scary, there were no facial features on the head, only layers of tumors, purple-red The tumor is disgusting and... scary."

Holding guns in both hands, Xu Tianhua groped towards the place Xing Hao had described.Zhang Lu followed closely behind him.Xu Feifei and Tang Wencheng stayed where they were.

Jian Chun didn't see the "thing" described by Xing Hao with his own eyes, and he felt anxious and jealous. Hearing Xing Hao's voice was distorted, he looked down on him even more, and said: "Old Xing, calm down, what the hell are you talking about?" Damn it, you're still a geography student."

Xing Hao could hear the sarcasm in his tone, and fought back angrily: "That's because you didn't see it, and you still want to find some savage, that thing is not human at all, nor is it a beast. We are in broad daylight." .”

After Xing Hao finished speaking, he heard Xu Tianhua yelling in front of him in a low voice: "There is a situation here, everyone gather around me." Xu Tianhua's voice was deep and serious, and several people did not dare to neglect, so they trotted a few steps and gathered together.

Xu Tianhua held the gun tightly in his hand, frowned, and watched the surrounding environment closely.There was a wide but shallow pit under his feet. When everyone looked into the pit, they all had goose bumps all over their bodies. Xing Hao turned around, bent down and vomited uncontrollably.Jian Chun and Xu Feifei's faces were pale, and they barely suppressed their nausea.

There are hundreds of human bones piled one upon another in the pit, ranging from whole skulls to broken ribs, thigh bones, and arm bones.In addition, there were dots of torn flesh and blood on the more than ten bones, which had been severely rotted due to the hot weather, emitting a pungent rancid smell.

It's like a dirty, smelly slaughterhouse, where the carcasses of slaughtered animals are shaved and discarded in pits.The difference is that these slaughtered animals are people.The skeletons in the pit are uneven, and there are several human remains.

Although Zhang Lu is the director of the police station, he has never seen such a situation before, and he said, "It looks like it's all human bones, really...fucking..."

Xu Feifei thought that the only word "fuck" could describe her feelings at this time, but she was too embarrassed to say it, so she only pointed to a piece of flesh in the pit and said, "There is hair on it, like a woman's long hair. "

Jian Chun felt nauseous for a while, his mind gradually cleared up, and he said excitedly in panic, "This must be the work of savages. Wild beasts don't have the intelligence and ability to dig holes and bury bones. We also found savages in Quzhou City. It will become a scientific discovery that shakes the world."

Zhang Lu saw that he was still so excited when facing the bones, he only cared about his own future, and had no compassion for others. Dissatisfied with his cold blood, Zhang Lu threatened him and said, "Be careful, if you are caught and eaten raw by savages, it will be a big mistake." You don't have any credit for discovering the wildlings."

Jian Chun shuddered, thinking that this sentence made some sense, so he had to guard against it, shrank back and hid himself among the crowd.

Xu Tianhua searched around the pit with a gun, but found nothing, let alone the strange creature Xing Hao described.He called everyone in a low voice: "There is danger here, let's all get together to avoid accidents."

Before the words fell, there was a rustling sound in the jungle more than ten meters away from them, and then a roar like a lion's roar, accompanied by the rustling of leaves, entered everyone's eardrums. The sound was deep and thick, shocking Soul.Xu Feifei was so frightened that her face paled, and her pink cheeks instantly turned pale.The two young scholars, Jian Chun and Xing Hao, were shaking their legs and almost collapsed on the ground.

Xu Tianhua moved when he heard the sound, and ordered Zhang Lu and others to stay where they were. He and Tang Wencheng rushed to where the sound came from.Most of the jungles in this area are shrubs, banyan trees and vines, with intertwined branches and dense leaves.Xu Tianhua and Tang Wencheng held guns in their right hands and pushed aside the branches and leaves with their left hands. They were highly nervous, paying close attention to all the subtle sounds around them, and tried to move forward step by step.

The two walked forward for less than 5 minutes, and walked a distance of only seven or eight meters, but it seemed that they had gone through a long and difficult journey. Their hands were wet with sweat, and their spirits were like taut strings, ready to explode.

Suddenly, a gust of fishy wind came over and blew straight at the nostrils of the two of them.Through the layers of leaves, the two vaguely saw a vague shadow shaking. They held the guns in both hands almost at the same time, pointed at the shadow, and rushed over at a faster pace.

Suddenly, an extremely terrifying face appeared in front of the two of them.The skin on that face was like scales, layered upon layer, dark and shiny, rough and hard.The boundaries of the facial features are blurred, without eyelids, nose, and lips, and the cloudy eyes, nostrils, and sharp teeth are all exposed, as if a ferocious and ugly crocodile has been torn off its face, leaving a strange look. Weird face.

Although Tang Wencheng was young and a trainee police officer with no actual combat experience, he acted very calmly. When encountering danger, he did not lose his composure. He raised his gun and pointed it at the monster's chest. gun?"

Xu Tianhua made a decisive decision and said, "Catch the living ones and beat them on the legs."

The legs of the monster were hidden behind the bushes. Tang Wencheng lowered the muzzle of his gun, and quickly pulled the trigger based on his feeling and calculation. The crisp gunshot sounded, startling the birds in the forest to fly up. , Xu Tianhua's gun was also fired, and two bullets went into the bushes.The monster grinned wide, opened and closed its sharp teeth, and let out a heart-piercing roar, like the wail of a wounded beast, and fell to the ground.

Xu Tianhua and Tang Wencheng were overjoyed, they knew they had hit the target and their trip was worthwhile, but they were in a dangerous place, they didn't dare to be reckless, they still cautiously moved towards the target step by step.

Zhang Lu and the others heard the gunshots and knew what was going on ahead, so they couldn't help pushing aside the branches and leaves and stumbling over.

At this time, Xu Tianhua and Tang Wencheng were already close to the target, and they touched their waists. They only needed to take out the handcuffs and cuff the monster's two front paws, and more than half of the mission for this trip was completed.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Lu and Xu Feifei suddenly shouted in unison behind them: "Be careful, stand there and don't move." The voice was urgent and high-pitched, and the two police officers who were approaching the target stopped in place.

Xu Tianhua and Tang Wencheng looked up and took a deep breath. On a small open space four or five meters in front of them, there were more than a dozen strange-looking creatures standing side by side, lined up in a row, with heads and limbs, standing upright. Walking, judging from the physical characteristics, it is vaguely humanoid.However, some heads are swollen and some are small and flat, which are completely out of proportion to human heads.The limbs are also in different shapes, some are short and thick, some are slender, and many have broken arms and broken legs.Some have strips of cloth covering their bodies, while others use crude bark to cover their genitals.The skin is extremely rough, hard, black and shiny like the scales of a pangolin.The facial features were extremely damaged, distorted, and some even had no facial features at all. The entire head was a huge sarcoma, and on top of the sarcoma, there were small sarcoids, which were purplish red and seemed to be broken at the touch of a finger.

Xu Tianhua and Tang Wencheng gasped, the guns in their hands almost fell to the ground, and they took several steps back.

The wounded monster lay on the ground and let out another roar, revealing anger, pain, hatred and depression, and the sound was extremely shrill.The dozen or so humanoid creatures mourned for their own kind, echoed the voice, and screamed. All kinds of strange sounds came and went, like apes, birds chirping, owls, and whimpers. In the midsummer, everyone felt that Yin Qi was attacking their bodies and shuddered.

Xing Hao's emotions suddenly collapsed in an instant, and he screamed uncontrollably, with an extremely terrifying expression on his face, as if he had been scared out of his wits.Jian Chun, who had been recording the expedition process with a digital camera, was startled by Xing Hao's sudden cry, let go of his hand, and the camera fell to the ground.

The dozen or so monsters were also touched by Xing Hao's cry, and they seemed agitated, waving their limbs, screaming strangely, as if they were about to rush over.Seeing that the situation was urgent, Xu Tianhua acted decisively, raised the muzzle of his gun, and fired a shot into the sky. The sound of the gun resounded through the jungle, drowning out the strange cries of the monsters.

Xu Tianhua saw that the gunshots had a temporary effect, and said to Tang Wencheng in a low voice: "Keep calm and retreat." Step back in unison.

The two stepped back more than ten steps and joined Zhang Lu and the others.Several people worked together to lift Xing Hao who was limp on the ground, and dragged him to the outside of the jungle.Xu Tianhua picked up the video camera that Jian Chun had dropped on the ground and put it on his shoulder.

Seeing them retreating, more than a dozen monsters all bared their teeth, with very angry expressions on their faces, as if they were about to charge up and tear Xu Tianhua and his party to pieces, but they dared not act rashly due to the power of the "magic weapons" in their hands.

The investigation team retreated to a relatively open place, and the dozen or so monsters were already hidden from sight by the branches and leaves.The frightened Xing Hao gradually regained his sober consciousness, his legs were still shaking, but he could no longer need others to support him.The six people quickened their pace and stumbled down the mountain.Exhaustion, fear, and confusion were intertwined, and his legs moved subconsciously, but it didn't look like his own.

No one spoke along the way, and everyone was full of doubts, replaying the bizarre experience that had never happened in their lives just now in their minds.When approaching the foot of the mountain, Xu Tianhua pulled himself together, made a phone call, and briefly reported their experience on the mountain to Li Guanlan.Li Guanlan did not make a clear statement on the phone, and his tone was serious and low. He only told him to pay attention to safety and not to leave anyone behind.

This nightmare-like road finally came to an end. When we reached the foot of the mountain, it was already dark. The people were thirsty, hungry, and exhausted. Get a good night's sleep.

A few clusters of strong lights suddenly shot head-on in the darkness, covering them inside, every detail of their body was exposed to the strong light, and they could see everything at a glance. Their eyes were illuminated by the light, and it was almost impossible to open them.Sudden fright while still in shock, but they couldn't see clearly what happened on the other side. The whole group felt sore and weak, their hearts were beating wildly, and they didn't know what unknown danger they were facing.

More than a dozen unidentified people who were covered tightly and covered their faces without leaving any gaps rushed to them. Before they could react, a faint mist sprayed in front of their nostrils. I felt dizzy and dizzy for a moment, and collapsed to the ground at the same time.

Xu Tianhua heard someone say in a trance: "Quick, put them on the stretcher."

The voice was far and near, faintly present, but vaguely as if it was a voice he was familiar with—Su Caixuan?Why is she hurting me?
