Chapter 173 Discussion Forum

The more Caroline spoke, the more Julian listened, and the more frightened he became.

The expression was difficult to conceal, which caught York's attention. He thought that there must be a lot of long-standing missing cases in that forest.

But this is a bit strange. If there were so many missing cases, the forest should have been searched thoroughly. How could no deformed person be found?

Even if the place where the deformed people live is a deep cave that no one has explored, where did all those cars go?
As his thoughts spread to this point, all York could think of was that all the cars had been cleared out by the leader who was a normal person, and taken away to be sold or something.

This is still just a guess, but York feels more and more that there must be a normal person who looks normal among the deformed people.

Seeing that Caroline had almost finished her words, York looked at Julian, who was unable to conceal his expression, and said calmly, "Officer Julian, judging from your expression, are there many missing persons cases in that forest?"

Hearing this, everyone subconsciously looked at Julian.

Julian nodded in silence, "It happens almost every year, but we searched carefully and found no traces.
We have issued a notice before, but it still cannot stop those foreign tourists who love camping, so we put it on hold for the time being. "

Having said this, Julian let out a light breath and looked at Caroline, who looked very uneasy after just finishing speaking.

"It now appears that Ms. Caroline is the only survivor."

As expected, Yorks twitched his lips and shook his head, saying, "Officer Julian, we need support. According to my guess, there are probably people chasing us. I can see that these deformed people are a group of crazy monsters. They will definitely not let us go."

Julian frowned. “I called a colleague before, but I don’t know why he lost contact.”

York was stunned and looked at Julian who had finished speaking.

Suddenly, they both thought of the same thing: this colleague might have encountered the deformed person who was chasing him.

Julian finally realized the seriousness of the situation and stood up on the spot: "I'll go call for support."

Yorks nodded.

Julian walked out of the house, then walked into his police car, picked up the walkie-talkie connected to the radio, and before calling for support, he asked the dispatch center to help inquire about the situation of his colleague Krahan.

The response he got made him feel heartbroken.

"Since asking to get out of the car to investigate a suspicious vehicle, Officer Crahan has not yet received any new information."

Julian held the intercom tightly. "How long has it been?"

Dispatch Center: “Ten minutes.”

Julian took a deep breath, his hands gripping the intercom so tightly that the knuckles were exposed.

"I have something to report, requesting support from relevant units"

In a large office.

Many people gathered in the same place, listening to the final report made by the man standing in the center.

Tifa, Qitra who was looking through the documents, and Marvin who was in charge of the external window of the team stood at the back.

"It's incredible that there is no clue found in so many missing cases?" Qitra looked at Marvin and whispered.

The information was obtained by Ma Wen, but the number of missing cases in it had accumulated to dozens and had been accumulating for a long time.

According to their speculation about this type of case, with this base number, there will be more missing cases with no news. Marvin looked at the supervisor Kernel who was making the final report at the center and shrugged: "I don't know about other things."

At this point, he lowered his voice a little, and said in a voice that only the three people could hear: "It is said that the forest is very large, and it is impossible to search the entire forest, and it will take a lot of effort.
So many people were just slacking off at the time, so they just casually searched and ended the search hastily when they found nothing.”

Zitra showed contempt in his eyes: "Oh, that's it, I understand."

"The focus is on this man." Marvin nodded and pointed to the large screen behind Knell.

A man appeared on the big screen; his face was blurry but recognizable.

At the same time, behind the man is a wooden house of the same style.

"At that time, they actually searched the same wooden house. The style and decoration were not much different from the wooden house you visited before, and the owner of the wooden house was this man.

If the state police who searched the cabin hadn’t turned on their body cameras during questioning, we probably wouldn’t have had any initial suspects until now.”

Qitra was speechless: "So they finally found such an obviously suspicious target, but they let him go easily?"

Marvin nodded. "It is said that it is, because there is no problem with the man's identity. What's more important is that he was not present at a very obvious time in the missing case. He was out and about all year round, working. Well, he was a carpenter."

At this time, Tifa, who had been silent, whispered, "This means that our profile of the murderer is correct. He has accomplices. That forest is his accomplice's territory and also his home, so he went home.

And these long-standing missing persons cases are probably all committed by his accomplices.”

Chitra and Marvin looked at each other.

Kernell happened to say this: "According to the current profile of our team, the murderer of the highway serial murder case may have accomplices who live together in this forest.
The only difference between the two is that the serial killer committed the crime outside, while his accomplice committed the crime at home, which is this forest."

Knell used an infrared pen to point at the man on the big screen and the various missing cases next to him.

"So the missing persons cases involving this forest can actually be combined with the highway serial murder case into one case."

Someone raised their hand.

Knell nodded, motioning for him to speak.

"Sir, if the murderer of the highway serial murder case and his accomplices really live in this forest, why did we search this forest thoroughly but found no clues?
Is it possible that the accomplice you speculated was actually a fictitious target?"

Knell smiled, pointed infraredly at the wooden house and the man recorded inside by the law enforcement recorder, and said calmly:

"Haven't you already found him in this forest?"

After saying this, Knell looked at the man who was at a loss for words, and calmly pressed the infrared button, causing the large screen to automatically turn to the next page, showing the family photo that he had found earlier.

The man sitting in the middle looked exactly like the man in the law enforcement camera.

“If the suspect in the highway murder case is here, where do you think the people he took pictures with are?

Think about it from another angle. Do you think such deformed people would attract people's attention when they go out? But why is there still no news? No one has ever discovered this group of people? "

The person who asked the question nodded: "Okay, sir, I have no objection."

Knell kept smiling and just nodded.
