Chapter 181 Confused York

In fact, carrying the body down would at most just move it to a clean place, to a clean ground, which is the clean open space next to the front yard door.

As for why he had to change it, as he said, the bed of the pickup truck was too dirty. In addition to Officer Crahan's blood, there was also a lot of flesh and blood, which was not sure whether it was animal flesh or human flesh as speculated.

It looked like Officer Crahan's body was lying on a pool of blood, which looked a bit unclean.

Officer Crahan's face was relatively intact, and it looked like he had not experienced any pain before his death. He was killed with one blow.

Based on the arrow going straight down through the head, Yorks was able to sketch a simple profile of Officer Crahan standing in front of the car door and the deformed man standing up from the truck bed and shooting an arrow at his head.

After the body was taken down, the bow and arrow were not removed.

This is living evidence that the deformed man killed the police officer, and it needs to be processed by relevant technical personnel later.

But no matter what, this scene was obviously too much for Julian to bear. When they worked together to carry the body down, Julian didn't even have the courage to face the body. He let him examine it with his head turned to the other direction, breathing rapidly and his eyes a little dazed.

After a rough inspection, York glanced at him and stood up. He didn't feel much pressure in his heart. After all, he didn't know this police officer.

However, judging from this point alone, the deceased Officer Crahan should have had a good relationship with Officer Julian during his lifetime.

Now, Officer Julian will probably be tormented for a while.
.
……

Yorks' gaze shifted towards the intersection of the road leading to the small town. Some middle-aged and elderly people were standing there. They seemed to dare to come closer only after they had confirmed their identities.

"Are those people over there local residents of the town?"

After coming out of the restaurant, he had already discovered that these figures were not deformed people.

It seems that the sound of shotgun blasts still broke the tranquility of the town. Those middle-aged and elderly people were wearing pajamas and holding shotguns in their hands.

Hearing the sound, Julian looked in the direction indicated by York, nodded and said in a hoarse voice: "It may be our gunshots that woke them up. I will go over and explain to them."

"Okay." York responded calmly and watched Julian walk over.

Seeing that Julian had started to interact with the local residents of the town, York couldn't help but relax his tense body.

"This matter has finally come to an end."

At this moment, in the opposite direction, where the road connected to the highway outside, the headlights of cars in the distance attracted his attention. In the dark night, the headlights were very conspicuous.

In particular, after the eyes have adapted to the darkness for a period of time, they will become more sensitive and be able to see car lights farther away, so that distances of several hundred meters can be seen.

At the same time, the sound of the car's engine rang in my ears from far to near, from small to large.

"This is?"

York subconsciously walked towards the front of the police car, found cover first and began to pull out the Glock 17. He slowly removed the magazine with only one round left, then took out a full magazine from his tactical belt and put it in.

These car lights did not follow the highway, but moved to the main road under our feet, heading towards the town.

I just don’t know if it was support from the deformed people or someone from the police station.

But as the headlights got closer, he saw several police cars.

……

"Is this the person who called the police?"

In the front passenger seat of the police car at the beginning, Sheriff Ezio noticed a tall figure standing on the front of a police car and spoke up immediately.

Knell whispered in the back seat, "It should be."

Based on the clothes he was wearing, he instantly determined that he was not the Julian State Police officer.

But inexplicably, the moment he saw this tall figure, a sharp look flashed across Knell's eyes.

Because on the way here, they encountered a small incident. There was a big tree placed on a certain section of the road. Judging from its placement across the road, it was obviously used as a roadblock, but the most special thing was the two headless corpses with missing right feet in front of the tree.

According to the situation at the scene, the two bodies were missing their right feet and were located on the same parallel line.

With the help of Angela, who is in charge of the operations of the group, his profile is:
①A big tree blocked the car of the person who called the police.

② The person who called the police confirmed through some means that the people who blocked the road were all on the right side of the car, so he simply stopped the car to lure them out, got out of the car in advance, lay on the left side of the car, and shot at the people who blocked the road through the gap under the car.

③ When you see the feet of the person who blocks the way, fire two shots in a row to blow up his feet first, causing him to lose his support and fall down, revealing his body. Then fire two more shots to blow up his head, killing him with one shot.

This is the only way to explain why the two bodies were missing their right feet, had no heads, and were located on the same parallel line.

As for whether the body had been moved by someone, it was not within his scope of thought, because from the traces at the scene, there was no sign that the body had been moved.

“It’s a very strong character.”

Knell recalled Angela's judgment of the person who called the police and her thoughtful expression.

At this moment, a reassuring voice interrupted his thoughts: "It's York."

Kner was surprised and looked at Tifa beside him. He saw her beautiful face with a hint of strangeness:

"From your tone, do you know him?"

Tifa looked through the front window at the tall figure. As the distance got closer and the face became clearer, she blinked:
"The main reason I wanted to come back was because of him."

Knell was stunned for a moment, with an expression of disbelief and as if he had seen a ghost. He was the director of the group and had the right to recruit members.

Tifa was the person he had chosen. Her main responsibility was to conduct psychological analysis of the criminals and roughly analyze their motives, and to collaborate with him, the supervisor in charge of on-site profiling.

If Tifa has no objection, she will have another identity in the future: a member of the Behavioral Analysis Division under the FBI headquarters.

To everyone's surprise, Tifa rejected his recruitment, saying that she was only fulfilling her role as a mentor and playing an assisting and supporting role. She would return to Los Angeles after the highway serial murder case was over.

He thought of many possibilities at the time, but he didn't think of this one.

"I see." Knell looked at Tifa and said:
"No wonder you rejected Marvin's pursuit."

Tifa said calmly, "He's not my type. Simply put, I don't take him seriously."

Knell coughed dryly and did not intend to stand up for Marvin. He looked at the tall figure whose face he could clearly see through the front window, and became more and more curious about this person.

"He is indeed more handsome than Marvin."

……

York narrowed his eyes slightly and watched the police cars driving towards him and stopping one by one.

Many people got off the bus one after another. Not only were there state police wearing uniforms with state police logos, but some people in plain clothes attracted his attention.

Especially this middle-aged man in casual clothes.

In this situation, it is usually people in plain clothes who dominate the scene, especially people of this age, because age can be used as a disguised proof that the other party is experienced.

But then, when a woman got out of the car after the middle-aged man and stood by the back door smiling at him, nothing mattered anymore.

She has long, silky golden hair, three-dimensional and deep facial features underneath the hair, and a pair of clear blue eyes that seem to be able to see into people's hearts, sparkling with wisdom and gentleness.

It could be anyone else but Tifa.

"Tifa?" Yorks was confused and didn't react at first.
