The Laws of Werewolf Hunting

Chapter 183 Hate Power
Since Clayton came to Revo, whenever he wanted to do something, something unexpected always distracted him.

But this matter cannot be ignored.

The Hooke detectives found the body he had left behind and claimed it was done by a werewolf, but Van Clayton had no sense to choose to stay out of the matter and leave the disposal of the body to others.

It would be bad if they did find out who the murderer was.

Hook's detectives parked the body on the main road a little outside the town, attracting some people to surround it.

The patrol team also came, and Clayton saw the goatee he had met when he first came to Rewo. The old guy looked at the corpse with a thoughtful look.

Barbara and her husband, Perot, were also on the sidelines, the latter with an unflattering expression.

Donna was too short to see the corpse on the ground through the crowd, so she ran to talk to the female vampire's family.

They had just learned from the detective that Lady Barbara had discovered the body with them.

Clayton felt that Donna might be able to get first-hand information from her, so he ignored Donna and went straight to the center of the crowd.

"The sheriff is here!"

He shouted while holding up the silver star badge, and the crowd quickly parted to make way for him and Julius, and the antique dealer had a glimpse of the corpse lying on the road.

This is indeed the animal trainer who died at his hands, that's right.

However, the appearance of the animal trainer is different from the last time we parted.Someone connected his two bodies with thin iron bars, and a disc was stuffed in his chest.

He took out his handkerchief and walked forward, half-squatting to examine the corpse.

Elder Perrault, on the other hand, glared at Julius, aggrieved by his earlier fooling.

"Why didn't you say you were a sheriff earlier? I thought you were a gangster."

Julius spread his hands and shrugged, but said nothing.

If the old man knew that one-third of the resident sheriffs in the Sasha City Sheriff's Department were manipulated by the personal connections of the Presbyterians and other parish council members, he would be severely traumatized.

The parish elected sheriff brings a lot of fame and credibility to the sheriff's department, and the resident sheriff is responsible for squandering these virtual assets.

Beside them, the time of Barbara and Donna's private conversation gradually came to an end.

The girl left Barbara contentedly, and turned to go to her uncle to see the dead body, but Julius grabbed her.

Donna stared at him, "I'm not afraid of death."

The wizard raised his eyebrows and let go of his fingers from her shoulders. He had no obligation to nurse the little girl.

Donna walked through the crowd to Clayton who was inspecting the corpse, but she only took one look at the dead man, and the horrific scars and hollow face had already occupied all her mind, regardless of the dissected abdomen and iron Strips of piercing, iron mosaic of profane scenes too.

The girl felt a wave of powerlessness and panic from the bottom of her heart. She supported her uncle's back with her hands, and she also bent down at the waist. With the movement of her stomach discomfort, tears welled up in her eyes.

The murdered dead are not the same as the corpses of natural deaths, and she overestimated herself.

Her reaction was immediately noticed by the goatee of the patrol, who slammed the ground with his cane and bellowed at the same time:
"Who sent this little girl here?"

This sudden move saved Donna, who was terrified and her urge to vomit stopped abruptly.

Before Clayton could speak, the goatee glared at her: "This is not something a little girl should watch. You should go back to your parents and practice sewing instead of staying here to watch the excitement."

The word needle and thread reminded Donna of the horror of the corpse, and she felt like vomiting again.

Clayton stood up and supported her: "She is my daughter." He turned his head and called for Barbara to come over and help Donna go, and the goatee nodded in satisfaction.

"How? Mr. Bello, do you see anything to gain now?" Detective Ace asked him.

"I don't see any scars caused by werewolf minions."

Clayton answered truthfully, because he had killed the trainer with an axe.

The only dead man in the circus with a werewolf bite mark on his body was the clown, who smashed the entire head of the corpse in order to erase the mark.

Ian asked: "Then besides the werewolf, what other creature can easily bend the thin iron bar to create such an effect?"

"Such a thin iron bar, if a grown male sticks one end into the ground and uses his body weight to coerce it, then it is easy to make such a bend. And, if the werewolf killed him, then what is it for? Food? I think no."

The lieutenant slightly raised his finger to the corpse, attracting everyone's attention.

"Look, there are only bird peck marks on his soft internal organs, and no wounds on his fatty thighs. All he lost was his eyes and clothes. The real point should be the belongings that disappeared with the clothes. I decided It was a well-developed robber who killed him, and this robber knew that there were rumors of werewolves in the town, so he fabricated such wounds to highlight the extraordinaryness of the deceased, all of which were actually just covering up the truth of his killing and taking money."

"The wound that divides him in two seems to be smooth, which is impossible for ordinary people. But who has heard of werewolves doing this? Can their claws do such a thing?"

A werewolf's claws couldn't do that, of course, but a long-handled double-bladed ax could.

"I don't say this against you personally, but I remember that you carried a very large axe, if it was that broad and long, and a man as strong as you could strike it with all his strength, saying It may not be able to cause such an injury." Goat Hu said.

This is a very reasonable question, Clayton did not hide from anyone when he carried the ax into the street.

Detectives and patrols watched him, but didn't immediately identify him as the murderer.Because they couldn't think of a reason for Creighton to kill the animal trainer, and they didn't think anyone would actually use such a big ax as a weapon.

Clayton knew their thoughts very well, and he also had a way to further convince them and eliminate his own suspicions.

These people still don't understand the characteristics of [Mosquito Slayer].

"Even assuming I can do such a thing, wouldn't a person who was split in half have to bleed all over the ground? But this corpse looks very clean, and there are even signs of being bled out before it was alive. .” Clayton squatted down again, showing the slightly dry wound of the corpse to the onlookers.

It is common sense that after an animal dies, the blood will quickly coagulate in the blood vessels, and it will not look so clean.

"Everyone can think about it, is it easier to chop a living person who may move around with an axe, or is it easier to bleed the living person to death, and then process his inelastic corpse?"

This defense was well founded, and people quickly believed it.

"Poor Macht." Goatee shook his head and sighed. He is the most skilled hunter in Revo, so he can still be the leader of the patrol at the age of 60. Everyone believes that even if he can't catch the "beast", It can also reduce the frequency of infestation by wild beasts, but not only did he get nothing during this period, the attacks of the "beasts" on the stables also made people gradually lose hope and no longer expect him to make achievements.

Now he wants to catch anything more than anyone else, whether it is a "beast" or a "bandit" disguised as a werewolf, he only needs one.

A young man on the patrol crossed himself in mourning for the dead.

"The circus he belongs to is not far from the town. Our people have already gone to inform them. I hope they can come to collect his companion's body. If they don't want to take him away, there is still space in our cemetery."

Clayton was temporarily free of suspicion, but he was not happy.

In order to delay the discovery of the corpse, they hid the corpse well. If they were dug out for secondary processing, it could only mean that some existence completely saw the process of their killing.

His real conclusion was comparable to that of Detective Hook. The guy who destroyed the animal trainer's body must have had a grudge against the deceased, otherwise he would not have done such a thing.

Will the saboteur be the one with the evil eye?

The people around no longer paid attention to the corpse itself, and they began to discuss the follow-up of the corpse disposal, such as how to use this matter as a warning to the children who do not go home after dark after reporting to the elders and priests.
At this moment, Clayton rekindled the idea of ​​exploration, he squatted down next to the corpse again, and checked the corpse for the second time.

During the first inspection, because he had been trying to get rid of his suspicions, he spent more energy on weaving lies and didn't put much energy into his work, but this time, he found something strange.

The left and right parts of the corpse were pierced by iron bars, and a round iron plate was inserted into the chest cavity of the corpse.

This scene is indeed incomprehensible at first glance, but if these foreign objects are stripped from the corpse, lined up one by one, and placed neatly on the ground, then their image will be very clear.

These iron bars and discs are put together to form an iron cage.

Clayton counted the number of iron bars on the corpse with his fingers. There were 26 bars in total, and the length and thickness met the general iron cage specifications.He pulled the round iron piece out of the corpse's chest cavity, and even saw familiar marks.

He also ate his leopard after he killed the trainer, and the leopard was kept in this cage at that time,

In order not to be dragged out by the werewolf, the poor animal had scored many white toenail marks on the rust-red base of the cage.

These nicks are still there, and none of them are missing—this round iron piece is the base of the cage.

This means that the person who destroyed the corpse not only took a long way to find the corpse of the animal trainer, but also brought the cage out of the circus tent next to the town before that.

Clayton didn't know what this meant, but this technique might belong to an evil ritual, just like the hand of a criminal can be made into a "Hand of Glory", and he needed to let his mage advisor know about it.
