After working until midnight, the situation finally stabilized.

The Rose Squad sat and rested in the police station, more or less tired on their faces.

After working with Boglo to kill the monster quickly, Donald cleaned up the remaining undead creatures in the town of Red Cliff, which consumed a lot of mental power.

Boglo is cutting his palm with a knife, and some strangely colored liquid flows out of the wound. His talent is to make poison, not to digest poison. If these poisons are not consumed in the battle, then he has to think about it after the battle. There is a way to force them out, otherwise staying in the body will only cause great harm to your own body.

Horn was communicating with the deputy sheriff in the police station. From the sad expression on the deputy sheriff's face, he could tell that the situation was obviously not satisfactory.

"Donald, I made you coffee, no sugar."

Stephanie put a few cups of coffee on the table, and specially sent Donald's cup alone.

"Thank you, Captain, how is the situation?"

After taking a sip of coffee, the bitter taste filled his mouth, and his spirit was a little boosted. Donald sat up straight and asked Horn.

"Thanks to you and Boglo, there were nearly seventy casualties. You came back in time. The slaughter of the undead has only just begun. It would be unimaginable according to the time we returned."

There were no more than 15 undead creatures that appeared in the small town of Red Cliff, and the speed of killing was not fast. Donald rushed back all the way with Boglo. If it was 5 minutes later, the number might increase.

However, even so, such a result is a very big blow to a town with a total population of no more than 3,000 people.

"I heard Susannah say you killed the murderer?"

I had been busy with the rescue before and had no time to inquire about the battle situation.

"It should be said that he is one of the murderers. This guy sacrificed himself in order to send the demon cage out. If he is the only one committing the crime, his own escape should be the most important thing. The demon cage has collected a lot of the soul energy of the dead. I'm worried that something will happen."

Donald looked at the undead creatures on the ground of the police station that he and Bogluo had killed together, and continued,

"The two undead creatures will disappear in the daytime because the owner's death cannot take them back. This guy still chooses to let the undead creatures transport things, which means that there must be his stronghold near the town of Red Cliff, and There are naturally people in this stronghold, I think we have to find out the matter as soon as possible!"

Things are undoubtedly a little more complicated now.

"How do I check this, I don't even have a clue, oh~"

Burns poured holy water on his wound to prevent the wound from decaying due to the negative energy of the undead, and he grinned as the two diametrically opposed energies collided.

"There is a clue, it is this demon cage. I noticed the appearance of this man before he turned into a corpse. He is tall and fat. I asked for information on this when I was in town this evening. The resident said that his wife once saw a tall fat man who often hangs demon cages in the deserted forest. They should be the same person, so it seems that he should have lived in the town of Redcliffe for a while, or the town itself. The resident is a tall, fat man with a pale face and no beard, Deputy Sheriff, it is very important that you send someone to ask if any of the villagers have seen him."

Speaking of the demon cage that Stephanie and the others brought back, Donald pondered the details of the time, and the consumption of mental power prevented him from opening his agile thinking at will.

"The heads, the heads in his hands, even if we were cornered, he didn't let them go. Where are the two heads now?"

Boglott, who was applying healing ointment to the wound on his hand, said something.

"Yes, I remember that they were two masked heads. They were on the street in the middle of the town. They were running around before, and I didn't pay attention to this. I quickly sent someone to look for them. It shouldn't be difficult to find them."

After he said this, Donald also recalled the two heads, looked at the deputy sheriff and said.

"Don't look for it, we brought it back, one is from the sheriff and the other is from a rich man in town."

The deputy sheriff picked up a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his face. It was clearly autumn, and he was probably scared of cold sweat.

Donald thought to himself that it was no wonder he had not seen the sheriff. It stands to reason that at this time, the deputy sheriff would definitely not be able to preside over the situation, and then he felt that something was wrong.

"Sheriff's? He's on patrol?"

Donald doesn't believe what he said, and it's not like he hasn't seen the sheriff before. At a glance, he knows that he sits in the office all day and is "trained" by various banquets at night. Such a person would take Firearms run to the front line of danger to take risks?

"No, he was killed at home, and the rich man was also killed at home."

The deputy sheriff was also puzzled. When he saw the two heads, he was no less surprised than Donald, and he later asked the police to find out.

"The murderer set up traps in order to concentrate the killers, and he went to the sheriff's house to kill people. It can be understood that he wanted to create chaos. So what happened to this rich man? His residence will definitely not be next to ordinary residents. Why does the murderer want to Going to kill him specially, what about the two heads? Go and get them."

This is contrary to the purpose. The murderer killed the rich man without taking anything of value from his home, which can be seen from the empty pockets on the murderer's body.

Even suppose he grabbed valuables and quietly buried them elsewhere.

What do you cut off the head for, and take it back as a souvenir?

It's not pretty either.

The same problem exists with the sheriff.

When the two heads were brought in from the outside wrapped in cloth, they were placed directly on the table and opened. Stephanie turned her face to the side and dared to take a peek. The other people stepped forward, and Donald took off the mask directly. .

Both are wooden masks, and on the sheriff's head is the appearance of a human face with a beard on the chin, paint around the eyes, and a nose that appears to have been drawn in pencil.

The one on the rich man's face looks like a bull's head. It is flat and looks very abstract.

"What does it mean to put a mask on someone's head? Who of you has research on coats of arms or masks of this kind? Is there any special significance to this behavior?"

Donald couldn't understand the meaning of these two masks, so he could only look at a few people next to him. Their expressions were similar, either shaking their heads or frowning. Stephanie didn't look here after Donald took off the masks.

"There is a saying, there is a custom in some places to wear a mask before burial to cover their eyes, to prevent the soul from remembering the route of burial, so as to return home, and cannot enter reincarnation, but both eyes of this mask are hollowed out. ."

Susannah came up with an idea, which she then rejected.

"I seem to have an impression of these two masks. When the girl disappeared about two years ago, some witnesses said that they saw suspicious people wearing such masks. In fact, there is a tradition of making masks in our town. At the annual bonfire festival, it's the equivalent of a masquerade."

The deputy sheriff suddenly interjected at this time, and everyone's eyes turned to him again.

"It's the case of the disappearance of a young girl again. Why did the undead creatures and masks of the year wear the sheriff and the rich man? Deputy Sheriff, how much do you know about the disappearance of the girl back then? Do you have any records of the case?"

The police station’s investigations should have a beginning and an end. A case like the disappearance of a young girl should belong to a major case, who should be the murderer, and the process of solving the case should not be less.

However, Horn Shelley's perfectly normal request made the Deputy Sheriff dodge his eyes.

"Mr. Deputy Sheriff, so many people have died in the town, what are you worried about?"

Donald asked in a low voice.

This case is definitely tricky!

"It's this, me"

Words popped out of his mouth like squeezing toothpaste, Donald didn't have time to waste with him, turned back and patted Stephanie on the shoulder, motioning her to go up.

"Now that there are so many casualties outside, Mr. Deputy Sheriff has to think about his career even if he doesn't think about the townspeople? If he can't catch the murderer, do you think he can continue to be the Deputy Sheriff?"

Stephanie walked over to the deputy sheriff, her voice soft and her eyes met, the latter's eyes were dazed, and her expression suddenly became dull.

"In the case of the girl's disappearance, the murderer was not found. Only one corpse was found in the five missing persons. In order to reduce the impact of the incident, the undead was discovered again, and the sheriff decided to put everything on the head of the undead. I actually also heard some bad reviews, the sheriff has been traveling with this rich man, Mr. Dale, during that time, there are rumors that they did something bad to a girl, but because of their status , so in the end it's over, the dossier you want has long been 'discarded' because of the police station's clean-up, God, what did I say!"

The deputy sheriff woke up after saying the last sentence, turned around and slapped his mouth again and again.

These are all police scandals.

"Is it possible that it was revenge? He is a family member of the victim of the girl's disappearance two years ago~lightnovelpub.net~ The truth has been found out recently, so he wants to kill these two people who may be the real murderers?"

Cutting off the head and putting on a mask is undoubtedly a revengeful act, Susannah came to a guess.

"No, if it's just revenge, why did he bother to kill so many residents? With this guy's ability, it's not too easy to kill the sheriff and the rich!"

Susannah's guess can only explain one point, and it still doesn't make sense in other respects.

"Four directions, Deputy Sheriff, you continue to look up his information, Donald, you go to the rich man's house, Boglo, you go to the Sheriff's house, I will take someone to look up the information about the girl's disappearance two years ago, although the file is Destroyed, the police who handled the case were always there, and they ended up meeting at the police station!"

Horn Shelley made the decision to split up and mobilize all the forces to find out the disappearance of the girl two years ago in the shortest possible time.

It is the biggest sticking point of this event.

The six were divided into three groups, and Donald still chose Stephanie.
