At this moment, Gao Zhe caught a glimpse of a ray of light on the ground in a trance, and walked over to pick it up.
It turned out to be a silver earring.
"Um……"
It's unclear whether it was dropped here by the victim or the murderer, so let's just put it away for now.
When they walked out of the door, Wang Xiao was supporting Ziran who was vomiting and patting her on the back gently.
"Alas, I said I would practice the Fiery Sun Technique well, now I am suffering."
Han Kai said this, but he quickly took out a bottle of purified water from his bag.
It was handed to Mu Ziran, who was hunched over with a bitter look on his face.
Chapter 367: The Disappearing Corpse! Strange Facts
"Thank you... huh..."
His stomach was almost empty, and Mu Ziran felt a little relieved.
Gao Zhe was originally observing his surroundings, but Mu Ziran's reaction gave him some reminders.
"Come on, up that hill over there."
Gao Zhe pointed to a high ground far away from the adobe house, from where he could overlook the entire terrain surrounding the adobe house.
A few people climbed up the hillside, and after the stench of decay disappeared, everyone felt better.
"terrible……"
Wang Xiao was still in shock. If Gao Zhe hadn't stopped her, her condition would have been even worse than Ziran's.
Even so, the people outside the house were all more or less shocked, and their stomachs were churning.
"Such a strong smell is unreasonable."
"Even though it's been hot in recent months, the temperature in the mountains is much lower than in the city."
"Even if there were a pile of corpses on this scale in the city, there wouldn't be this level of corpse stench."
"Especially since the body had been moved for a long time, this shouldn't have happened."
Gao Zhe analyzed his impressions. His control over the details of the case could almost be said to be at the detective level.
This also stems from his work experience before becoming Su Kong's disciple.
"Could it be that the body was intentionally damaged or disposed of?"
Gao Zhe shook his head, it’s not that easy.
"When I was serving in the criminal police force, I participated in marking the remains of victims in war-torn areas."
“At that time, I often went to the worst-affected disaster areas and was forced to be the first witness to the tragic scenes.”
"The bodies of victims killed by aliens and regional terrorist armed groups are sometimes so small that it's difficult to even count them."
"But even so, I've never encountered a rotten smell to this extent."
Han Kai shrugged. It was certainly not that he didn't respect the victim, but he simply wasn't convinced by Gao Zhe's statement.
"You guys were supposed to wear gas masks then, right?"
Gao Zhe waved his hands helplessly.
"Don't interrupt me so quickly. I've been wanting to say that we've all overlooked one thing."
"That is, there was no large-scale loss of life nearby."
"Didn't all the people who disappeared before return?"
These words woke up everyone present.
But then they felt the air seemed to cool.
"You don't mean to say that these victims..."
"If that's true, then it's no wonder there were no signs of the body being dragged at the scene."
Han Kai bit the joint of his index finger. Although he usually looks carefree, he is actually afraid of listening to ghost stories.
Gao Zhe smiled.
"There are no ghosts or monsters in this world. Don't be nervous."
"I just thought it was the stench of a corpse because I encountered a similar smell when I was working before."
"Thinking about it now, it's irrational."
"Perhaps there were no dead persons at all."
Just as everyone was gradually relaxing after hearing Gao Zhe's words, Xu Qing, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.
"What about the body fluids on the ground? Isn't that the fluid that seeps from the corpse?"
Gao Zhe scratched his hair.
"It's not certain yet, but testing can be done if necessary."
"But we can't do it ourselves, so we can only send it to a qualified testing agency in town to do it."
Xu Qing nodded, turned around and walked down the hillside.
"Then go get some."
Then, under the horrified gazes of everyone, he walked into the mud house without any hesitation.
A moment later, Xu Qing returned to the team holding a paper bag wrapped in mud.
"Wow... so disgusting..."
Even though it was wrapped in several layers of white paper, the package still had a faint smell.
In fact, if they wanted, they could use the Lieyang Jue to purify the substance in the paper bag.
But in order not to destroy the first-hand information, everyone had to endure the smell and head down the mountain.
After a day of investigation, the area around the valley has been basically identified.
Apart from the mud house 017, nothing else attracted people's attention.
In the evening, they went to a health center in the town and handed the samples to the researcher in charge.
After receiving the notice to pick up the inspection report the next day, they returned to their resting place to recharge their energy for the next day's journey deeper into the valley.
That night, everyone sat together in a room again to discuss and finally made a decision.
"Let's go back?"
Gao Zhe nodded at Wang Xiao, this was also for the safety of her and her bodyguard.
"Next, Xu Qing and I will go explore the valley. We don't need any more manpower."
"Xiao Kai and Zi Ran went to visit the nearby villages and towns. I believe they can handle any emergencies."
"With you here, I'm worried I won't be able to focus on you, especially since the enemy already knows we're here together."
"You have already become the enemy's target. It would be safer to return to the area where the army is stationed."
At this point, the three of them had no reason to object and had no choice but to accept the arrangement.
Chapter 368: The Black-Robed Man in the Valley! Yang Yan Destroys the Evil Spirit
The next day, the four men sent Wang Xiao and the others to a nearby national highway and watched them drive into a safe area.
"Okay, let's act separately according to our plan."
"Xu Qing and I will go investigate the valley, while Xiao Kai and Zi Ran will visit the nearby villages."
"Remember to keep in touch and report any unusual situations to each other."
"If we get into trouble and cannot support you, please contact Master immediately."
After hearing Gao Zhe's words, the two nodded heavily.
"Oh, right."
"Take this with you too."
Gao Zhe remembered the silver earring, took it out and placed it in Mu Ziran's palm.
"Stop by and pick up the research report from the health center and keep us informed of the results."
The two looked at each other.
"clear."
In this way, the troops were divided into two groups.
Xu Qing and Gao Zhe followed the mountain path, cutting through the thorns and brambles to the deepest part of the valley.
They marked the most suspicious locations in advance and memorized the surrounding terrain thoroughly.
Approach the marked location by memory.
Han Kai and Mu Ziran walked slowly along the road towards the nearby village.
"Alas, when will we be able to catch up with Senior Brother Xu Qing and the others?"
"I also want to fight alongside them."
Han Kai wanted to charge into battle, as he admired the ancient generals the most.
His current idol is Sun Wukong from The King's Avatar.
"Yeah, I want to help too."
"But I don't want to experience what happened yesterday again."
Recalling what happened in the mud house, Mu Ziran felt uncomfortable again.
The nearby villages are relatively scattered, but they are generally located along a small path.
The two walked along the avenue, and the downward slope appeared not far ahead.
Like a goat intestine winding into the distance.
Han Kai climbed over the fence of the national highway like a hurdle and jumped down the high slope.
Then he stretched out his arms and caught Mu Ziran who was jumping down.
The mountain paths are much more difficult to walk on than the national highways, but fortunately, after a day and a night, the mud after the rain has dried up.
According to the records in the archives, the two visited the families where people had gone missing, one by one.
On the other side, Xu Qing and Gao Zhe had arrived at the valley entrance.
There was no need to worry about the speed of others. The two of them were running faster than the birds in the sky as they jumped and leaped across the mountains.
In the valley, the dark and humid air hits us in the face.
The deeper they went, the more they could feel a strange atmosphere.
"Did you notice?"
Gao Zhe asked in a low voice, his eyes still fixed on the darkness deep in the valley, obscured by countless dense branches and leaves.
"Well, my senses are gradually becoming numb."
Xu Qing stretched out his hand as if to pick a leaf, but when he withdrew his hand, there was nothing in his fingers.
"Not only that, the stellar energy within us has also become disordered."
"Fortunately, using Qigong can stabilize this abnormality, Ah Qing."
"Keep alert, I have a feeling we've got the real deal."
The valley was full of thorny brambles and reeds, which, although unable to hurt the two men, still hindered their progress.
Cutting through the thorns and passing through the dense bushes, half a minute later the two men had gone several miles deep into the valley.
Until the last thorn and branch were separated, the view in front of me suddenly became clear.
A treeless open space, slightly dim, at the edge of the valley.
In the middle of the open space, a strange device stood tall, stretching straight into the sky like a sharp iron tower.
And on the ground in front of the device, stood a blurry figure.
