The red moon returns

Chapter 413 Source
"The current time is 11:41 a.m. Chief Inspector: Stephen Swain, Assistant Inspector: Diana de Valente."

"The stomach is dark in color and has slight signs of decay on the surface, the degree of decay is consistent with the time of death. The organs are inactive and full inside, the intestines below the pylorus are full, and the stomach contents show signs of entering the intestines after digestion."

"It is possible that there is a source of infection inside." Lin Qi in the record could not help but remind, "You two should be careful."

Miss Diana's watery eyes swept across Lynch's face, and she hummed softly, and Dr. Swen...she stared at the corpse without raising her head, but raised her hands and grabbed in the air a few times. This was the action she used to scare Lynch with her claws after she turned into a zombie.

He raised his hand and cut off the soft stomach, then quickly retreated with Miss Diana.

puff.

A green smoke came out from the disconnected cardia and pylorus. The smoke was not thick, but it was dark green in color and had a sticky texture. It looked weird and evil.

"The green mist is obviously mysterious, and the concentration is thin. Its nature should be the mysterious residue formed after mysterious objects are stored in a closed space. This concentration is harmless unless directly contacted."

After a pause, the countess could not suppress her excitement and said in a trembling voice:
"With the appearance of this fog, we may have found our target."

It was already the third day, and they finally saw hope of breaking the impasse. One could imagine the joy in the hearts of the four people, especially the Countess. Due to her identity, most of the things she came into contact with were just theories, and it was estimated that she had never really entered into the memories of out-of-control strange objects in her entire life, so it was inevitable that she was excited at this time.

Lynch just nodded and looked at Knight Terry's reaction imperceptibly. This sudden change can best show a person's position.

Knight Terry's expression showed a mixture of joy, anger, and a strong sense of uneasiness. He stared at Dr. Swain's actions without blinking.

Lin Qi was relieved at the sight of this. This was the most normal reaction. He should not be the city lord's lackey and should be a target to be won. But brother, please calm down. That elder sister is a ghoul...

When the green mist completely dissipated, Dr. Swain and Miss Diana stepped forward again.

"The chief examiner has cut open the stomach wall. The inner wall is intact and undamaged. The contents are clearly visible. After identification, two-thirds are fine grains and one-third are cooked meat. There is a small amount of fresh blood and flesh at the top of the stomach, which is suspected to be caused by biting a fellow soldier and swallowing muscle tissue."

"Except for the fresh blood and meat, the rest of the contents were mixed evenly, showing that the food was not completely crushed during the same meal. Even large pieces of meat were seen mixed in with the grain crumbs. It is suspected that the eating process was too hasty, resulting in incomplete chewing."

"The mysterious residues come from food. The residues are very sensitive. We cannot confirm that the food is the source of the occult plague, but we can confirm that there are serious problems with these foods. We need to conduct in-depth analysis."

"The contents of the intestines are the same as those of the stomach, with no fresh blood or flesh, and the same mysterious residue."

"The third autopsy is now complete. Time: 12:32."

After nearly an hour of focused operation, the two ladies finally retreated quickly, rushed into the corner, took off their masks and gasped for breath, and Miss Diana even leaned against the wall and retched. Officer Natalie patted her back gently while turning her head away with a look of disdain.

"Kemit and Leonard should have left in the morning." Several people gathered around. Lynch considerately handed the kettle to the retching Countess. Seeing that her condition began to improve, he looked through the notes and asked, "If he fell ill at night, does that mean that the food remained in his stomach for a day?"

"No, they have military rations for official trips like this." Knight Terry said, "Due to the urgency of the military situation, they can't stop to eat, and can only eat while running on horseback. That's why the food is not chewed completely. Could it be that there is a traitor in the barracks who tampered with the military rations? If so, it will be troublesome. No, I have to go check it out." "Wait a minute." Lynch decided to give him a little trust and immediately stopped his meaningless behavior. "Does your military rations contain meat and fine grains?"

"Yes." Knight Terry's body froze and he stood there in a daze. He was very familiar with the military rations. There was nothing else except bread that could be used as a weapon. As for jerky, one had to have a good relationship with the quartermaster to get a small piece of it. "Then did he bring it from home? But that's impossible. If it was a food problem at home, Leonard wouldn't have gotten sick too."

"Well, and I really didn't know that your small town had such good conditions that a soldier could eat fine grains and meat. The key is that the ratio is still two to one. This is much better than what we ate at Ms. Swain's house last night."

Seeing Knight Terry's expression becoming increasingly stiff, Lynch showed a puzzled look:

"I don't know where the food came from. If we can find the source of the food, maybe we can know who is leading this plague. Unfortunately, they are all dead, so this question will never be answered."

As he said this, he shook his head and sighed deeply.

Knight Terry looked uncertain, and he had obviously thought of something, but he didn't say it in the end. Doctor Sven was quite satisfied, and said in a Randish language that Knight Terry couldn't understand: "This is the biggest gain since the incident. We no longer need to confirm the identity of the ghouls involved. With these things, I will work overtime tonight and will be able to prepare a targeted treatment potion at noon tomorrow. I didn't expect that I would have to rely on potions to treat patients like those pharmacists."

"So fast?"

"You have helped us find the most critical information. Although the information on transmission and replication cannot be confirmed, it is only useful to prevent further development and spread. Having treatment drugs is more important than anything else."

The usually fierce ghoul doctor looked at the disgusting stomach contents as if he had seen a treasure, smiled softly, and said softly:

"I know you still have a lot of secrets, but you have been using practical actions to prove your good intentions, so I won't ask any more questions. Don't worry, our deal won't change. I have hidden the Book of the Dead in a very hidden cave in Middle-earth. I will draw a map for you in a moment."

“Draw now?”

"You didn't force me to paint first and then help us solve the problem. I have nothing to worry about." Dr. Sven said sincerely, "Is there anything else I can do?"

"Let's talk about it after we resolve everything." Lin Qi was in a good mood and said in a relaxed manner, "You'd better keep an eye on that knight over there. My words just now seem to have made him realize the problem, but I'm afraid he will act rashly and go directly to the city lord to ask. If that happens, not only will he die, but our situation will also be exposed."

"Terry, I'm going to start mixing the potion now, and I need someone to protect me," Dr. Swen said immediately. "You'd better not leave my side until tomorrow noon."

"But I also want to..." The knight was a little embarrassed, but after struggling for a few seconds, he nodded and said, "Okay, protecting you while preparing medicine is the priority, then I..."

Before he finished speaking, a soldier suddenly rushed into the training ground and hurried to Terry's side.

"Sir, something happened." The soldier's face turned pale and he shouted, "A riot suddenly broke out in the west of the city."

"Someone bit someone in the street."
