Beina's words made Aaron suddenly feel excited.
It wasn't that he cared so much about the money the other party was talking about, but that he finally started to gain something through the "demon hunting" thing.
You know, he has never been dismissed as nonsense before. This time, not only did you dare to believe him, but he was also willing to pay for your help. This is undoubtedly an improvement.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Aaron tried his best to put on a calm look on his face and asked some details about the case.
"By the way, the text message my mother sent me should still be here. You can take a look..."
Beina picked up the mobile phone with a broken screen from the ground, fiddled with it in her hand and turned it on. It turned out that the thing was not completely broken. At least it could be used after being connected to the charger.
Aaron took the phone and looked at the text message that the other party called up. The look on his face couldn't help but become more serious.
The message Bena's mother left for her was very brief, only a few words:
There are monsters outside, don't go out!
"There are monsters outside, don't go out...?"
Aaron pondered this sentence over and over in his mouth, feeling that the whole thing was a bit confusing for a while.
"If you look at it purely from this sentence, it means that the monster was probably outside your house at that time. Your parents encountered it when they first went out or when they came back..."
"Moreover, being able to give your mother time to type out those words shows that this monster did not subdue her with one blow. In other words, this monster may not be too powerful..."
Aaron paced back and forth in the living room, trying his best to recall what kind of monster could behave in this way in the stories that Barr's grandfather told him.
"Scythe demon? No, no... Their methods are usually very cruel, and sneak attacks will resolve the battle instantly, without giving Beina's parents a chance to send text messages..."
"Gluttony Demon? It doesn't seem to be the case... I heard that these things are about to become extinct, and the people attacked by them rarely leave any corpses..."
"Hmm... Could it be a Thorn Demon? It seems a bit like... they like to play pranks, and their own strength is not that great. If it is such a low-level evil demon, it is really possible for the victim to react..."
Aaron thought for a while and gradually got some clues, but he was still a little afraid to confirm it for the time being, so he immediately asked Beina to take him to the crime scene to take a look.
The so-called crime scene is not yet certain. It can only be said that the police suspect that it is in the open space in front of their house, because the bodies of Beina's parents were found here.
Beina did not disclose the details of the body. It seemed that she was not very clear about it. The police immediately cleaned up the body after discovering it.
According to Henry, the veteran police officer in charge of the case, the body had been highly decomposed after being stored for these days. In order to protect Beina's mental health, they burned it as soon as possible after investigating and collecting evidence, and would not give it to the victim. An opportunity for the family to see the body in person.
Aaron imagined such a scene, but he still felt a little uncomfortable mentally. Although he called himself a demon hunter, he was also an out-and-out ordinary person.
He has not undergone any rigorous training, and has never seen real horror. Even if he dares to look for monsters with his so-called fearless belief, he will still feel some flinch when facing the corpses of the same kind.
This seems a bit contradictory, but in fact it is very consistent with the behavior of a middle-aged youth like him.
In the end, the two of them stayed in front of the door of the little red house for a long time. After Aaron looked at the scene on the ground, he slowly expressed his inner guess.
"Maybe I know what's causing the trouble, um... But I'm not 100% sure yet. I need to investigate..."
When Beina heard his words, she immediately pricked up her ears and looked at the man with surprise.
Does he know? He actually figured out what was going on with my parents? Could it be that this guy is really a witcher? This efficiency is too high!
A series of thoughts emerged in Beina's mind, and she couldn't wait to ask for the details of the matter.
"Although I'm not sure yet, I'm almost 70% sure that there may be more than one murderer who attacked your parents!"
"more than one!?"
Bena exclaimed.
"Yes, if I guess correctly, the one who attacked your parents should be the Thorn Demon!"
Aaron nodded and explained seriously.
"According to records, the Thorn Demon is a low-level evil demon. They usually live in groups, and they also like to play pranks on weekdays. A single Thorn Demon is not very strong, and ordinary adults can defeat them, but once they become adults If they form a group, the degree of harm will be greatly increased, which is very dangerous!"
"These thorn demons like to play pranks very much. If they catch their prey, they usually don't kill them immediately. Instead, they torture them first and make them wail in pain. I'm afraid this is why your mother has the opportunity to send you a warning text message. The reason..."
When he said this, he also looked at Beina's face. Seeing that the other person's expression was blank, and then turned into a cold and angry expression, he couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart, and said to himself:
"It seems that my decision to go out to find and kill monsters was correct. In those places I don't know, how many people are like this girl, suffering from the pain caused by monsters... No. , I must find the murderer as soon as possible to prevent them from doing something like this again!"
Beina's face looked extremely ugly at the moment. When she thought that her parents might have endured great pain before their death, she couldn't help but feel sad and angry.
After a long while, she suppressed her anger and asked: "Aaron, thank you, are you really sure that the murderers are those thorn demons?"
Aaron nodded first, then shook his head and said: "No, I'm not sure, but I think the probability that they did this is very high. Look here..."
He said, squatting down and pointing to some marks on the ground.
"Here are the needles of some plants. These needles should be on pine trees. Generally speaking, pine forests are one of the thorn demon's favorite places to live."
"And look here, there are some very shallow small footprints. Judging from the number, there should be more than seven or eight owners of these footprints. This is undoubtedly very consistent with their characteristics..."
Beina went over to take a look and found that it was exactly what the other party said, and for a moment she recognized what he said in her heart.
"These damn devils! Aaron, please help me kill them! I will reward you! You can have anything you want! As long as you help me kill these devils and avenge my parents!"
