Chapter 3 (2/2)

“May I ask, how did you obtain this information?”

1

Although these words were not very clear, the few villagers standing in front reacted one after another. They silently took two steps back and distanced themselves from Qiao.

No one knew who the murderer was, so how did Qiao know about the “cruel methods”?

Could it be that the murderer was Qiao?

Qiao was well-versed in human nature. Naturally, he could tell what everyone was thinking at a glance.

However, he was still very calm. He pointed at the corpse and said,

“Did you see the farmer’s expression?

“If he didn’t experience an extremely terrifying incident, why would he be so frightened.

“This isn’t a simple expression that would appear as someone wanted to kill him.”

After hearing Qiao’s words, many of the villagers nodded in agreement.

Qiao didn’t continue to observe the crowd. Instead, he began to slowly walk around the farmer’s body.

He wanted to see the scene from multiple angles, trying to find some clues.

However, after taking a few steps sideways, he bumped into a hard object.

It was the old scarecrow who had stood on the wheat field for decades.

Judging by his age, this scarecrow was only about ten years younger than him.

However, now was not the time to reminisce about his childhood. Qiao’s face was still full of seriousness.

There was a small clearing around the scarecrow, and there was not much wheat.

This made Qiao have some doubts.

If he was the murderer, he would have hidden the body well after killing.

At least he would have put it in the wheat field so that people would find the body later.

Why did the murderer choose to put the body near the scarecrow?

Was it to let people find the body earlier?

Was this the first crime scene?

Or was it that the killer killed John in another place and specially moved the body over here?

One question after another appeared in the old village chief’s mind.

At this moment, the old village chief seemed to have discovered something and let out a soft “eh”.

A few more courageous young men leaned over and followed the old village chief’s line of sight to look over.

They saw a trace of blood on the scarecrow’s back.

In an instant, a young man boldly guessed:

“Could John have been killed here and then his body was moved over there?”

Another young man also said:

“Perhaps John was attacked here first and then received a fatal blow after escaping there.”

A few young men began to discuss.

But at this moment, two people had a bad feeling in their heart.

One of them, of course, was Flanders.

He had carefully cleaned up the blood on his body last night, but who knew that there was a bloodstain on his back which he had overlooked.

And the other person was Qiao.

Seeing the blood on the scarecrow’s back, Qiao had a bad feeling.

After all, he had worked in the police station for 30 years when he was young.

During that time, he had heard some rumors.

There were strange things in this world.

Many supernatural phenomena were caused by strange things.

Although it was only a legend, Qiao suddenly thought of it.

That was because there were almost no other bloodstains in the area behind the scarecrow.

In the farmland, bloodstains were difficult to deal with unless all the soil stained with blood was dug out.

However, there were no traces of soil being dug out.

At this moment, Qiao couldn’t help but slowly walk to the front of the scarecrow and look at its face.

“This scarecrow seems to be a bit strange.”

The old village chief said with narrowed eyes.
