Zhi...
A lighter lit the pyre.
The weak firelight illuminated the surrounding environment, and something seemed to be surging in the darkness. It might break out of the cocoon at any time and throw the wood into the fire, causing many sparks to fly.
The cold wind blows into the cracks in the rocks, infusing a lot of chill, and also brings a hint of salty sea smell.
The ocean is full of dangers, which seems to be the consensus of all sailors, the rules that are remembered, the secrets hidden in the Newland Sea, the distant whistle of the ship returning to the port, falling to the horizon, foretelling that darkness is coming.
There were footsteps walking on the beach, far and near, and someone raised his head in the firelight. He thought that person would find him, but in the end, the person just walked around nearby, and then the footsteps gradually faded away.
Looking up at the ocean, no one stays at Xinlan Beach every night. Everyone is afraid of the ocean, but they must rely on it to survive.
Human beings are greedily seeking resources in the ocean and exploring further lands, but they have forgotten the instructions of the adventurers.
Finally, it was in the pain and darkness that I remembered the rules set by the Lord of Storms.
There was a dark figure standing in the ocean. It had been there for a long time. It was not until night came that it started to move.
At this moment, there seemed to be no one else on the beach except the man in the firelight, so the creature's goal was clear and it was heading towards the light.
Its entire body was wrapped in darkness, and it could only be vaguely seen that its shape resembled that of a human being, with slender arms, a twisted body, and a weird head. The edges of its outline were like mist, and it looked like Illusive and terrifying.
Wow——
Moving along with the sound of waves hitting the rocks, every time I glanced at it, the creature would get closer. The lower body was immersed in the sea water, and I couldn't see what it was moving on.
I just feel that this scene is depressing and frightening. Most people may not be able to run away after seeing this, let alone being able to carefully observe what the creatures approaching them look like.
Wow——
The creature came closer again, and its image seemed more concrete. It stretched out its hands and gestured toward the fire, as if measuring the distance between him and the man.
But the man was not afraid. He just raised his head slightly and turned to look at the fish basket he bought in advance. There were small fish jumping alive in the fish basket, and there were also whittled wooden sticks next to it for today's dinner. Be prepared for everything.
"hungry."
The man touched his belly and lowered his head as if thinking about something. When he raised his head, he found that the strange creature that was still in the sea just now had disappeared.
The man grabbed a fish with one hand and threw it outside.
The next second, he quickly stretched out a withered hand on the beach very close to him and caught the fish in his hand.
Only a grunt was heard, and the creature grabbed the fish and stuffed it into its mouth. The darkness instantly swallowed up the fresh fish. A sound similar to that of swallowing came from the creature. It turned its head and looked at the man faintly.
"Doctor, please help me, my friend seems to be in trouble!"
A cry of surprise rang out at the entrance of Yinglan Beier Capital Hospital. Everyone's eyes gathered and looked at Ethan who fell to the ground. His face was haggard, with two dark circles under his eyes. He probably looked like he was about to die suddenly.
This movement naturally attracted the attention of the guards. When they stepped forward and took a look at Ethan, they looked at each other and then backed away silently.
In any case, it was always a good thing to sneak into the Yinglan Beier Capital Hospital smoothly. Jiang Chenchuan helped Ethan walk inside. When he glanced around, he could see the police standing in every corner.
"I don't know if you heard about it, but this time even the queen was alarmed. The Medwin family was furious and vowed to find the murderer."
"So... please let us guard the body."
In the hospital lobby, several elderly policemen gathered together and whispered. Obviously, in this boring and free time when they are forced to go to work, they can only complain together about the latest hot topics:
Death of a nobleman.
Several young and energetic young men were busy in the hospital and would come over from time to time to wait for orders.
The last time people were so panicked was the murder case on a rainy night, and it seemed that Polnia could no longer remain calm.
"When will Terry Medwin's autopsy be completed?"
The doctors were talking to each other, and when they heard the name Terry Medwin, Ethan and Jiang Chenchuan suddenly became alert.
After finding the familiar department, Jiang Chenchuan patted Ethan on the shoulder and disappeared quietly, leaving Ethan alone to knock on the doctor's door.
The middle-aged bald director looked up at Ethan and asked him to sit down in front of him.
"What are the symptoms?"
"Dizziness, fatigue...um...occasional vertigo..."
The director took out a white handkerchief and wiped his shiny forehead, while listening to Ethan's nonsense, he recorded it in the medical record.
"I heard that a nobleman died last night. This seems to be the first murder of a nobleman in Polnia."
There was a trace of panic in the director's eyes. He raised his head and quickly warned:
"Just see a doctor and stop listening to rumors."
In fact, he didn't need to say much, Ethan also knew the seriousness of this matter, but through a few simple tests, he was able to confirm that no matter which party it was, no clues were found about the murderer.
It seemed that after killing someone, he disappeared without a trace in Polnia.
Suddenly, a commotion came from downstairs. The sounds of footsteps were chaotic and orderly, and coupled with the sound of special shoes hitting the ground, it seemed to have something to do with the Sheriff's Department.
"What's going on outside?"
When Ethan saw the opportunity, he just found an excuse and left the doctor's office.
It seemed that police officers from the Sheriff's Department were gathering somewhere, and many of them had young and unfamiliar faces.
It is better to be young, innocent and romantic, and full of passion. They have not been tortured by life. They will believe a few words and even stand up for the lies and seek justice.
"What happened? Are we in danger?"
At this time, a young woman was holding on to the policeman and shivering with fear on her face.
"Sorry, I'm not sure. Madam, please stay where you are and don't move around."
The young policeman said seriously.
Ethan speculated that there was probably some commotion over Jiang Chenchuan, so all the police were attracted there.
Chaos is the best time to act. Ethan took advantage of the chaos and walked to an unoccupied office. He casually took off a white coat and put it on casually and decisively. Coupled with his ordinary face, he could sneak in smoothly. crowd.
There were many people gathered at the door of the morgue, most of them policemen from the Sheriff's Department. Their faces looked terrible, as if something bad had happened.
Ethan hid himself in an inconspicuous corner and observed what was going on outside the cordon. Suddenly, a familiar face appeared among the police.
