The afternoon passed quickly, and darkness fell in the blink of an eye.
The sky above the island was gradually covered with fog, and the night lights were turned on in an orderly manner.
On the streets, street shops, night markets, shopping malls, squares.
It's just that in these places, there is no living thing.
Gin stood in the center of the square and looked around. There was no strange phenomenon around him, but it made him feel horrified. "After searching for an entire afternoon, this island showed no signs of being inhabited except for signs of the existence of things." .”
This afternoon.
He and Jiang Zhe walked tirelessly through every corner of the island.
Any possibility of being linked to a person seemed to have never existed. Even the cemetery was dug up by Jiang Zhe and Gin. There was nothing in the coffin, only the relics and clothes of the deceased.
"The investigation is over. You don't have to wait until 11 o'clock tomorrow to return. Can you go back now?"
Gin stood in the square and looked at the bonfire slowly burning on the beach in the distance. He guessed that the accompanying police officers were lighting a fire to cook.
Jiang Zhe showed a strange smile: "Are you sure we can go back now?"
With this doubt in mind, Ginjiu walked behind Jiang Zhe suspiciously.
After walking up hundreds of stairs, we successfully reached the road.
Suddenly, Gin sniffed and seemed to smell the smell of blood.
Following the direction of the wind, the smell of blood comes from the beach.
"I'll go take a look first."
Gin narrowed his eyes, realized something was happening, and quickly ran towards the beach.
Jiang Zhe, on the other hand, followed Ginjiu leisurely.
Because he already knew what happened on the beach and on the sailboat in his previous life.
As Jiang Zhe arrived at the bonfire, the audience was all dumbfounded.
The seven police officers in the picture were all tied to thick wooden frames thrust into the sand and burned alive.
"What...what's going on?"
"All seven police officers were killed in one afternoon?"
"How could this happen?"
"It's too bloody. Could it be a monster?"
"..."
within the expert group.
Experts who followed throughout the afternoon thought the island was not in danger.
While they were lazily eating their lunch boxes, the scene of seven police officers being burned to death shocked everyone, even the chopsticks and forks in their hands were hanging in the air.
All the experts frowned and felt incomprehensible.
Because the police officers were not dead before departure.
From 1 pm to 6 pm, it is only 5 hours.
Maybe what happened during the five hours?
Old Zhao looked thoughtful and tried to explain: "The deaths of the seven police officers are inseparable from monsters. Because the rules mentioned before-the island has monsters. At that time, Mr. Jiang was on an island with 136 coconut trees. We always subconsciously thought that there were monsters on the island with only 136 trees, but we didn’t expect that there were monsters on the island with 135 coconut trees.”
After hearing this, the experts immediately started talking.
"That should be the case, but where is that monster?"
"After an afternoon of investigation by Mr. Jiang and Gin, they found no trace of monsters on the island!"
"And, even if there were monsters, why did seven police officers be burned to death like this?"
"..."
They discussed it for a moment, but couldn't figure out the reason.
Maybe there's something they haven't observed yet.
within the screen.
Gin stood in front of the seven burning corpses, observing with his hands in his pockets.
He found a binding prop on each corpse: wire.
Iron wire will not break even if it is burned by incomplete combustion fire.
He looked carefully and found that there were very few fatal injuries on the bodies, but the heads were injured. Several people's skulls were sunken, as if they had been hit by something heavy.
Following the seven neat towing lines on the right, it can be seen that the bodies were transported back to the beach at the same time.
Hearing the steady sound of wet sand being stepped on behind him, he knew Jiang Zhe was following.
So he asked without looking back: "From your footsteps, I heard indifference and calmness. Maybe you already know?"
Jiang Zhe's voice came from behind: "Well, they are dead anyway, but they will still be alive."
Gin didn't understand this sentence, but considering that it was a small island with rules, he was relieved.
Then Jiang Zhe suggested: "There should be nothing left in the fire. You might as well go to the sailboat and have a look. That's the scene of the first crime."
Accepting the proposal, Gin turned and walked towards the port not far away, walked across the plank bridge with linear red blood stains on the plank bridge, and then walked into the sailboat. The sailboat was in chaos, with bullet casings and bullet holes everywhere, and the engine was severely destroyed.
There were cigarette butts, beer bottles, bread bags, and a broken walkie-talkie on the bow.
In just 5 minutes, Ginjiu inspected the small sailboat from top to bottom, and finally met Jiang Zhe who was on board.
Gin stood on the bow of the boat, looking at the town in front of him. He took out a Marlboro cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Zhe.
"Don't smoke."
Then Gin lit the cigarette himself, organized his thoughts, and began to reason: "There was a dispute on the boat. There were traces of being dragged on the floor of the boat. The footprints initially showed signs of retreating in an orderly manner, and what followed was The chaotic state showed that when they were in danger, they initially fought back, and then found that they could not fight the enemy, so they began to retreat quickly while firing."
"The correct sequence should be - these seven crew members repaired the engine inside the ship, and after the repairs were completed, they took out the beer and drank, smoked and ate at the bow of the ship, because there were wine bottles, cigarette butts and bread bags at my feet."
"After some time passed, something unusual happened on the ship."
"A police officer broke away from the fast food group and went to check."
"When the situation arises, the remaining six people may have heard calls for help or other sounds, and then they all took out their pistols and walked into the stern of the boat."
"Halfway there, they probably saw something and started shooting like crazy."
"Due to some reasons of the enemy, perhaps because of their large numbers, the remaining six people had to retreat while shooting."
"At this time, it seemed that a monster rushed up, and the six police officers quickly retreated. During this time, the police officers thought they could shoot to kill the monster/or were frightened, so they did not consider returning to the beach. .”
"But what they didn't expect was that they couldn't kill the monster at all!"
"In the end, all six people were killed."
"The method of killing was naturally to knock them unconscious and then burn them to death - some police officers had dents in their skulls."
"Perhaps they wanted to ask for help from you, the powerful Captain Jiang, before they died. Unfortunately, all the equipment failed, causing the intercom to lose its effectiveness."
"It was eventually dragged to the beach in an orderly manner."
"There are at least seven monsters, maybe more!"
After explaining this, Gin turned around and leaned on the metal pole, took out the M1934 Mauser pistol with a brown handle from his pocket, and pointed forward, "That monster appeared first in front, at the stern of the ship!"
Hearing these reasonings, Jiang Zhe showed an appreciative smile on his face: "So your answer is - the monster climbed onto the boat from the water?"
Gin nodded in response: "Yes, there are traces of metal hooks at the stern of the ship. It should be that a team of monsters with intelligence, excellent mobility, and unity appeared underwater, and they carried out punishment."
Speaking of this, Ginjiu looked at Jiang Zhe, "What do you think?"
Jiang Zhe raised his hand and gently applauded him, "The reasoning is extremely accurate, but..."
Hearing this, Gin frowned, "But?"
"You have a faulty reasoning."
"where?"
"Is it possible that the monster—" Jiang Zhe asked with a serious face, "It's a human!"
Hearing this, Gin suddenly raised his head, his face suddenly enlightened, "Human?"
