Chapter 916 Troublesome Things

There is no special person to make a horse-drawn carriage.

Although his pony is not as fast as a war horse, his stamina is still very good, and he can fully cope with the long journey.

It took some time to arrive at the scene of the crime. This area was obviously blocked by the people from the Gaoling City patrol team.

It is worth mentioning here that this section of the road is already paved.

It is precisely because of this that it leaves obvious traces.

The carriage that was originally running on the flat road suddenly shifted its position, leaving obvious wheel marks in the process of rushing under the road.

The next direction can be said to have completely deviated from the road.

There are basically bare hills on both sides of the road, with ups and downs, obviously not suitable for carriage at all.

The wheel print was completely broken after extending for about a hundred or two meters.

However, Zhang Peng's body was found farther from here...

Of course, the corpse had been removed by the patrol team, and on the place where the corpse had been lying down, there was only a puddle of black and dried blood, which really made people unable to see anything.

"Where is the body?"

"Lord Gawain, please come with me."

While speaking, Zhao Tao took Gawain to the temporary camp set up by the patrol next to him.

The matter has not been found out, and it is obviously impossible for them to dispose of the body.

Therefore, Zhang Peng's body was temporarily stored here.

After walking into the tent, Gawain couldn't help pinching his nose due to the stench that hit his face.

Although it has recently started to cool down due to the changing seasons, the climate in the west is still a bit hot and dry.

After a few days, the corpse had apparently begun to decompose.

Approaching and taking a few glances, the death of the other party can be said to be quite miserable, and it was completely dismembered.

Fortunately, the face was still intact. After being cleaned up by the members of the patrol team, Gawain was able to barely identify the other party's identity.

"That's right, it's Zhang Peng."

While speaking, Gawain took two steps back, the smell was really disgusting and made him a little unbearable.

"It looks like he was attacked by a beast?"

After all, the civilization of the world is still in ancient times. In the area outside the city, there are naturally beasts, which is not a rare thing.

Although Gawain just glanced at it briefly, he could clearly see that the fatal injury was not caused by human beings at all.

When Zhao Tao heard this, he shook his head.

"Not sure yet."

Hearing this, Gao Wen was taken aback.

"How to say?"

"According to the information we obtained, the deceased left Gaoling City in a carriage while pulling a carriage of ingredients. Judging from the scene near the highway, he did indeed drive a carriage at the time."

Having said that, Zhao Tao took a breath.

"But now the problem is that the carriage is gone, and the ingredients that were supposed to be on the carriage are completely gone. At the same time, according to our inspection, all the belongings of the deceased are gone."

Hearing this, Gawain's expression became resolute and solemn.

Obviously, the beast doesn't know how to drive a carriage, let alone take away all the belongings of the target after killing a target.

"So, do you think it's artificial?"

At this time, Gawain was a little upset, and he really didn't want to be involved in such troublesome things.

"Could it be that the beast killed him, and then someone passing by became greedy and took away the carriage and finances?"

"According to this statement, it is also possible that someone killed him, and then the body was eaten by the beasts passing by, isn't it?"

Zhao Tao replied like this.

As for Zhao Tao's guess, Gao Wen shook his head directly.

"impossible."

"why?"

Zhao Tao couldn't help but ask curiously.

"If it was man-made in the first place, then he had time to take away the carriage and even loot the property, so why didn't he have time to deal with the body? Even digging a hole and burying him would be far better than throwing the corpse in the wilderness, right?"

Having said that, Gawain's voice paused for a while.

"Or, the murderer thinks that the body is here and we can't find it?"

The last sentence obviously carried a hint of sarcasm. When he thought about it, no one would be so stupid.

Although this guy Gawain is very out of touch at times, he is still eloquent when he flatters his ass, and he is completely in the posture of a minister.

But don't forget, his intelligence has four stars anyway.

In other words, his mind is far smarter than the average talented person.

Although he is not good at this kind of shit, but after turning his mind around, he will not be smeared.

"The carriage was originally driven on a paved road. On the road, the carriage is more efficient. In other words, it is unreasonable for the deceased to suddenly drive the carriage off the road and run to the hilly area next to it."

"From this, it can be seen that something unexpected happened at that time. For example, on the other side of the road, a ferocious beast suddenly rushed out and attacked him. The deceased was in a panic, and then he quickly turned the direction of the carriage. It ended up crashing down the road by accident."

"However, the hilly area is uneven, and it is not suitable for carriages at all. It is estimated that after running for a while, the car overturned due to the terrain, and the beast that attacked him was obviously still chasing behind."

"The deceased obviously couldn't wait to die, so he started to run away desperately, but in the end he couldn't escape the pursuit of the beast, and finally died in the mouth of the beast."

"After one or two days at most, even on the same day, passers-by found the carriage that had been overturned several hundred meters away, so they stepped forward to confirm the situation, then became greedy, and ran away after taking away the carriage and the property of the deceased. ."

After speaking, Gao Wen breathed a sigh of relief.

"My analysis is probably like that."

Gao Wen's analysis made Zhao Tao and the surrounding patrol members stunned.

The most terrible thing is that after this set, they actually feel that it is reasonable and reasonable, and they can't find anything wrong at all, as if the truth is correct.

And if that's the case, then the case can only be described as an unfortunate accident.

Those who became greedy and took away carriages and finances, although disgusting, cannot be said to have committed serious crimes.

However, when the Wanjie Civilization Patrol Team investigates the case, it is necessary to talk about evidence.

Just based on Gawain's mouth, no matter how reasonable what he said, they couldn't fully believe it.

To make this statement stand, two key pieces of evidence must be found.

The first key evidence is the murderous beast.

The second key evidence is the carriage and belongings of the deceased.

After all, Gawain had the heavy responsibility of His Majesty, and it was obviously impossible for the people on the patrol to keep him waiting there all the time.

After obtaining the intelligence information and confirming the situation, he let Gawain go back.

He then quickly notified Gaoling City and Oasis City, as well as the nearby inn, and began to search for the whereabouts of the deceased's carriage and belongings.

At the same time, a centenary team was transferred from Gaoling City to search for traces of beasts in the hilly area.

If there are ferocious beasts that will take the initiative to attack people in this area, it will be a threat to the people of the two cities and the construction team that is paving the road. It must be hunted and killed as soon as possible.
