Werewolf hunting rules

Chapter 183 The power of hatred

Ever since Creighton came to Gevo, whenever he wanted to do something, there were always some unexpected things that distracted him.

But this cannot be ignored.

Hook's detectives found the body he left behind and claimed that it was the work of a werewolf. As long as Clayton had any sense at all, he should not have chosen to stay out of the matter and give up the disposal of the body to others.

It would be bad if they actually found out who the murderer was.

Detective Hook parked the body on the road a little outside the town, attracting some people to gather around.

The patrol team also came, and Clayton saw the goatee he met when he first came to Gevo. The old guy looked at the body with a thoughtful look.

Barbara was also standing off to the side with her husband Perot, who didn't look good on his face.

Donna was too short to look over the crowd and see the corpse on the ground, so she ran to talk to the female vampire family.

They had just found out from the detectives that Ms. Barbara had discovered the body with them.

Clayton felt that Donna might be able to get first-hand information from her, so he ignored Donna and walked straight to the center of the crowd.

"The Sheriff is here!"

He shouted while holding up the Silver Star badge, and the crowd quickly parted to make way for him and Julius. The antique dealer was able to catch a glimpse of the body lying on the road.

This was indeed the beast tamer who died in his hands, that was true.

However, the appearance of the animal trainer was different from the last time we parted. Someone strung his two bodies together with thin iron bars, and stuffed a disk into his chest.

He took out his handkerchief and stepped forward, half-crouching to examine the body.

On the other side, Old Perot glared at Julius, indignant because of his earlier fooling.

"Why didn't you say you were the Sheriff? I thought you were gangsters."

Julius spread his hands and shrugged, but said nothing.

If the old man knew that one-third of the resident peace officers in the Sasha City Sheriff's Department were manipulated by the personal connections of the presbytery and other parish council members, his spiritual world would be severely traumatized.

The elected sheriff of the parish brings a lot of fame and credibility to the Sheriff's Department, while the resident sheriff is responsible for squandering these virtual assets.

Beside them, Barbara and Donna's whispering time gradually came to an end.

The girl left Barbara contentedly and turned to go to her uncle to see the body. Julius grabbed her.

Donna stared at him: "I'm not afraid of death."

The wizard raised his eyebrows and removed his fingers from her shoulders. He had no obligation to babysit the little girl.

Donna walked through the crowd and walked to Clayton, who was inspecting the body. However, she only glanced at the deceased. The horrific scars and the hollow on the face had already occupied her entire mind, regardless of the open abdominal cavity and iron. A blasphemous scene of piercing and inlaying iron sheets.

A wave of weakness and panic surged from the bottom of the girl's heart. She supported her uncle's back with her hands and bent her waist. As her stomach became uncomfortable, tears welled up in her eyes.

There is a difference between a murdered body and a body that dies naturally. She overestimated herself.

The goatee of the patrol immediately noticed her reaction. He slammed his stick on the ground and yelled:

"Who asked this little girl to come?"

This sudden move saved Donna, who was so frightened that her desire to vomit came to an abrupt end.

Before Clayton could speak, Goatee glared at her: "This is not something a little girl should see. You should go back to your parents to practice needlework instead of staying here to watch the fun."

The word needle and thread reminded Donna of the tragic state of the corpse, and she felt like vomiting again.

Clayton stood up and supported her: "She is my daughter." He turned his head and called Barbara to help Donna away, and Goatee nodded with satisfaction.

"How is it? Mr. Bello, do you see what you have gained now?" Detective Ace asked him.

"I don't see any scars caused by the werewolf's claws."

Clayton answered truthfully, for he had hacked the trainer to death with an axe.

The only dead person in the circus with werewolf bite marks was the clown, who smashed the corpse's entire head in order to erase the marks.

Ian asked: "Then besides werewolves, what other creature can easily twist thin iron bars to achieve such an effect?"

"With such a thin iron bar, if an adult male inserts one end into the ground and uses his weight to force it, it can easily bend like this. And if the werewolf kills him, what is it for? Food? I think no."

The lieutenant raised his hand slightly and pointed at the body, attracting everyone's attention.

"You see, there are only bird peck marks on his soft internal organs, and there are no wounds at all on his fat thighs. The only things missing from his body are his eyes and clothes. The real focus should be on the belongings that disappeared along with the clothes. I concluded that It was a well-built robber who killed him, and the robber knew that there were rumors of werewolves in the town, so he forged such wounds to highlight the extraordinary nature of the deceased. All of this was actually just to cover up the truth about his murder and wealth."

"The wound that split him in two seems smooth and is something that ordinary people can't do. But who has ever heard of a werewolf doing this? Can their claws do such a thing?"

Of course a werewolf's claws couldn't do such a thing, but a long-handled double-edged ax could.

"I don't say this with any personal grudge against you, but I remember that you brought a very big axe. If it was such a wide and long axe, it could be chopped down with all the strength of a strong man like you." It might cause such an injury." Goatee said.

This is a very reasonable question, and Clayton did not hide it from anyone when he took to the streets with an axe.

Detectives and patrols kept an eye on him, but did not immediately identify him as the murderer. Because they couldn't think of a reason for Clayton to kill the animal trainer, and they didn't think anyone would really use such a big ax as a weapon.

Clayton knew their thoughts very well, and he also had ways to further convince them and eliminate his own suspicion.

These people still don’t understand the characteristics of [Mosquito Slayer].

"Even assuming that I could do such a thing, wouldn't a person who was split in half be bleeding all over the floor? But this corpse looks very clean, and there are even signs that it was bled before death. ." Clayton knelt down again and showed the slightly dry wound area of ​​the body to the onlookers.

After the death of an animal, the blood will quickly coagulate in the blood vessels and will not look so clean. This is common sense.

"Everyone can think about it, is it easier to chop a living person with an ax who may move around, or is it easier to bleed the living person to death and then process his inelastic corpse?"

This defense was well founded and people quickly believed it.

"Poor Macht." Goatee shook his head and sighed. He is the most skilled hunter in Gevo, which is why he can still be the leader of the patrol at the age of sixty. Everyone believes that even if he cannot catch the "beast" , can also reduce the frequency of intrusions by wild beasts, but not only did he get nothing during this period, the "beast" attacks on the stables also made people gradually lose hope and no longer expect him to achieve results.

Now he wanted to catch something more than anyone else, whether it was a "beast" or a "robber" disguised as a werewolf, he only needed one.

A young man in the patrol crossed himself on his chest and mourned the deceased.

"The circus he belongs to is not far outside the town. Our people have already gone to notify them. We hope they can come and collect the bodies of their companions. If they are unwilling to take him away, there is still room in our cemetery."

Creighton was temporarily free of suspicion, but he wasn't happy about it.

In order to delay the discovery of the body, they hid the body well. If it was found and processed again, it would only mean that their killing process was completely watched by some beings.

His real conclusion was the same as that of Detective Hook. The guy who destroyed the body of the animal trainer must have had an enmity with the deceased before he was alive, otherwise he would not have done such a thing.

Will the destroyer be the one with the evil eye?

The people around them no longer paid attention to the body itself. They began to discuss the aftermath of the body's disposal, such as how to use this incident to warn children who did not go home after dark after reporting it to the elders and priests.

At this moment, Clayton had the idea of ​​exploring again. He squatted down next to the body again and inspected the body for the second time.

During the first inspection, because he had been trying to clear away his suspicions, he spent more energy on weaving lies and did not put much energy into his work. But this time, he discovered something strange.

The left and right parts of the body were pierced with iron bars, and a round iron piece was inserted into the chest of the body.

This scene is indeed incomprehensible at first sight, but if these foreign objects are peeled off from the corpse, arranged one by one, and placed neatly on the ground, then their image will be very clear.

These iron bars and discs are pieced together to form an iron cage.

Clayton used his fingers to count the number of iron bars on the body. There were twenty-six in total, and the length and thickness were in line with the general iron cage specifications. He pulled the round iron piece out of the corpse's chest and even saw familiar traces.

After killing the trainer, he also ate his leopard, which was kept in this cage at the time.

In order to avoid being dragged out by the werewolves, the poor animal left many white toenail scratches on the rusty red base of the cage.

All these scratches are still there, not a single one is missing - this round iron piece is the base of the cage.

This means that the person who destroyed the body not only went a long way to find the body of the animal trainer, but also took the cage out of the circus tent next to the town.

Clayton doesn't know what this means, but this technique may belong to an evil ritual, just like the hands of criminals can be made into [Hands of Glory], and he needs to let his mage advisor know about it.
