Chapter 920: The Killer Has Been Found!!!
Gao Yang was thrilled.
But the village chief and the others in this small mountain village were anything but.
Something like this had happened in the village, and it was a murder case at that.
Moreover, the deaths were so gruesome that even the children hadn't been spared.
Whether this happened in their remote mountain village or a big city, it would absolutely be a shocking and horrifying event!!!
"Call the police! Let the police handle this!"
The village chief looked at the four corpses and instructed a man beside him.
That man nodded, stepped aside, pulled out an old smartphone, and dialed 110.
But before the village chief and the others had been standing there long, another villager came rushing over in a panic:
"Village chief! Terrible news! Terrible news!!!"
The village chief frowned: "What's terrible now? What happened this time? If you're going to tell me your dog bit someone again, you just wait!"
That villager cried miserably: "Village chief, didn't my dog get beaten to death last time it bit someone? How could it still bite?"
The village chief: "Then what's your terrible news?"
"It's my mother! She's dead!!"
This male villager wiped the tears streaming from both his eyes.
He was deeply grief-stricken.
"Your mother... dead? How did she die?"
The village chief and the villagers standing there all felt their hearts sink.
They thought to themselves, please let his mother have died a normal death! Like dying of old age!
Please don't say something they didn't want to hear!
But reality never lives up to people's hopes!!!
"My mother was murdered!!"
"I was working in the fields all morning! Then I got a bit tired, so I came home to rest for a while, but when I got back, I found my mother lying on the ground.
Her face! Her head! Covered in blood!"
"Waaaah! Village chief, you have to get justice for me! Find the killer who murdered my mother!!!"
By this point, the village chief and those around him were completely stunned.
They quickly signaled for the villager to lead them to his house.
Gao Yang, Zhang Xue, and Zhao Yiwan hurriedly followed as well.
Although some villagers noticed the three of them tagging along,
given what was happening right now, no one had the energy to deal with them.
They all entered the male villager's home and indeed saw an old woman lying in a pool of blood.
Because she hadn't been dead for long, the corpse was still fresh and didn't have the appearance of someone who had been dead for a while.
But this miserable sight still made many people who couldn't stomach the scene run off to the side and vomit.
"This! What the hell is going on here?!"
The village chief had just finished saying this,
when another loud shout came from far to near:
"Where's the village chief! Where's the village chief!!!"
"Something's happened! Something big has happened!!!"
The village chief and the others currently in the courtyard heard this and their expressions changed again and again.
Seriously, what now? Another incident?
The village chief and his group quickly rushed out of the courtyard and saw a man gasping for air while leaning on his knees, completely out of breath:
"Village chief! Something terrible has happened! Uncle Sun and Aunt Sun next door to me both died in their own home!!!"
"More deaths?!"
The one who spoke wasn't the village chief, but the middle-aged man with slit-like eyes beside him, the one who collected the parking fees.
"Yeah, I went to Uncle Sun's house to borrow a pair of scissors. I'd just stepped into their courtyard when I smelled a wave of blood rushing at me. I thought they were butchering chickens! I even thought I might mooch a few bites!"
"Who would've thought! Who would've thought that when I went inside, I saw the old couple lying on the ground, dead as can be! Covered in blood!!!"
With villager after villager turning up dead, even a village chief was thrown into complete mental chaos and a dazed stupor.
He nearly lost his balance and would have fallen if not for the people beside him holding him up.
"Am I dreaming?"
The village chief looked at everyone around him.
The others all shook their heads bitterly.
Soon, the village chief led the group straight to the next death scene.
And then, it was like dominoes falling.
No sooner had they arrived at one villager's home where a body had been discovered, than another villager would immediately come running to report that yet another household had found a corpse.
One after another, nonstop.
It wore out the village chief, the middle-aged man with slit-like eyes, and everyone else completely.
Especially since the more they saw, the more their hearts trembled.
Counting it all up, there were already more than twenty people dead!!!
Gao Yang, Zhang Xue, and Zhao Yiwan, who had been following along the whole time, were also shaken to the core.
At first, they hadn't thought much of it. Even though there had been a family of three and an old man dead at the very start,
well, that wasn't a big deal. Sure, a murder case was pretty horrifying for ordinary people,
but this kind of thing had been seen on the news plenty of times.
Occasional incidents were perfectly normal.
But now, with death reports coming in one after another,
this was absolutely NOT normal!!!
What village has this many people die in a single day?
And all of them with fatal head wounds, all of them murdered?!
Gao Yang, who had been filming the whole time, looked at the two women in bewilderment.
"What do you two think is going on?"
Zhang Xue shook her head: "I... I don't know."
Zhao Yiwan's face was pale: "I don't know either! Could it be that some twisted murderer has snuck into this village? Killing people for fun?"
Gao Yang rolled his eyes at her: "Come on, what kind of twisted murderer commits crimes in broad daylight? Aren't they afraid of getting caught?"
Zhao Yiwan: "Then what do you think it could be?"
Gao Yang thought for a moment: "I don't know. I really don't know."
"I don't know who could be so cruel as to kill this many people in a row."
"And regardless of gender or age, not a single one spared."
"Granted, this village ripped us off, and I was pretty pissed about it. When I first saw their villagers dying, I was actually pretty happy. But now, I can't muster any happiness at all. If anything, I'm starting to feel scared."
Zhang Xue: "Then... should we still keep following the village chief and the others?"
Gao Yang thought it over: "Yeah! We definitely should!"
"I have a feeling this video is going to blow up even bigger than the fish pond one!"
"This is the heavens giving us a chance to change our fate!"
"Xiaoxue, you're about to become a huge internet star!!!"
Gao Yang's eyes gleamed with an excitement that couldn't quite be put into words.
That excitement made both Zhang Xue and Zhao Yiwan feel somewhat frightened.
And so the three of them continued following the village chief and his group,
filming each and every death scene.
At the same time, they also noticed a pattern: the killer only targeted the head. None of the bodies had any significant injuries elsewhere.
Or rather, they had almost none at all.
And as time went on,
more and more death reports came flooding in, and more and more people fell into chaos.
For a moment, the entire village was in an uproar. Even the village chief and his group were running around frantically.
Until a dark-faced middle-aged man, the one who collected the water and electricity fees,
came running over excitedly with the news: "Village chief! We found the killer!"
The village chief was extremely agitated, because with so many villagers dead, especially with every single death being so horrifically gruesome,
this was far too eerie.
And throughout all of it, he hadn't heard a single person report finding the killer or anything like that.
The poorer a place is, the more superstitious its people are, and the richer a place is, the more superstitious they are too.
The village chief was even starting to wonder if this wasn't the work of a human at all, but of a ghost!
Otherwise, how could so many people have died one after another in such a short span of a single day?
