Chapter 2027: Chapter 1986: Investigating the Real Culprit

"Yes, we will find out who the murderer is, bring them to justice, and avenge your parents." Lisa responded.

"Little boy, but there’s a prerequisite: you have to tell the uncles everything you know, so that we can better help you with the investigation and catch the murderer," Xiao Hu stepped forward and said to the boy.

Originally, everyone wanted to avoid bringing this up, lest they cause the boy more psychological trauma.

After all, what happened in Chen Family Village was too cruel, even an adult would break down and find it hard to accept, let alone a child of seven or eight years old?

But since the boy brought it up voluntarily, Xiao Hu followed the topic and asked further.

Obtaining some useful information early on would be very helpful for the subsequent investigation.

"Okay." After the little boy bravely wiped away the tears at the corner of his eyes, he told Chen Yang and Xiao Hu about the incident’s cause.

Their village had never offended anyone nor done anything bad.

But just last night.

Six men dressed in black suddenly appeared in the village.

When they entered the village, there was nothing unusual about them; they were even very polite, nothing like bad people.

But after they went to the village chief’s house, everything changed completely.

"Their hands suddenly turned into claws like monsters... and they killed the village chief, Uncle Ming at the village entrance... and my parents..." The boy couldn’t help but cry again as he spoke.

His innocent eyes turned red with tears, making people’s hearts ache to see.

It turned out to be man-made!

After hearing that, everyone remained silent.

"Little boy, did you hear them say anything?" Chen Yang pondered for a moment and asked.

"No, those monsters killed whoever they saw; I don’t know what happened..." the boy replied, crying.

Chen Yang fell silent again.

Although the boy had said a lot, there weren’t many useful clues.

Six people, in black clothes, with monster-like claws.

These were the only three useful clues.

"Besides these, do you know anything else? Chen Hao," Lisa asked further.

Chen Hao was the boy’s name.

"I don’t know anymore," Chen Hao shook his head.

"Then rest well, and if you think of anything, tell us anytime," Chen Yang said.

After Chen Hao had conveyed all he knew, Lisa took him to settle down.

Although his recovery was amazing, he was still seriously injured and needed good rest.

"Brother Chen Yang, what do you think the identities of those six people are, and why did they suddenly massacre Chen Family Village?" After Lisa and Chen Hao left, Xiao Hu asked for Chen Yang’s opinion.

After pondering for a while, Chen Yang said, "I’m not sure about their identities; I’ve never encountered anyone whose hands can turn into claws, but there’s one thing I can confirm."

"They didn’t kill without a purpose; they were selective."

"Otherwise, they wouldn’t have started killing only after entering the village chief’s house."

Hearing Chen Yang’s words, Xiao Hu nodded in agreement, finding it very reasonable.

"But with the current clues, we can’t deduce anything; if we want to know the specifics, we probably have to capture them," Chen Yang added.

"Then let’s go check the place where bloodstains were found; maybe we’ll find more clues," Xiao Hu suggested.

"Okay," Chen Yang agreed.

After Lisa returned from settling Chen Hao, they took Wangcai to the place where the bloodstains and traces were found.

Their pace wasn’t fast; they investigated along the way, moving in the direction of the traces.

Along the way, thanks to Wangcai’s careful exploration, they discovered some subtle clues.

It was indeed six people, and they didn’t escape quickly, as could be seen from some footprints on the ground.

"It seems these people are repeat offenders or they think they’ve done the deed flawlessly, hence their arrogance," Xiao Hu said, staring at the footprints.

"Of course, they are not ordinary people; they are all cultivators, so having such courage is normal," Lisa chimed in.

Chen Yang kept silent, leading Wangcai forward.

After about half an hour, the three arrived at the location.

It was a small grassy area in the forest.

There were many bloodstains on the grass, and the footprints were very chaotic; it was obvious that after the killing, those people rested here for a while.

There were not only bloodstains and footprints on the ground, but even some discarded disguised clothing.

"Let’s search separately and see if we can find some useful clues," Chen Yang said.

"Okay," Lisa and Xiao Hu nodded and immediately spread out to check.

Chen Yang focused on the clothing with Wangcai.

Wangcai had a very keen nose; although it showed no reaction along the scent trail, it suddenly started barking loudly after sniffing the clothes a few times.

Hearing the noise, Lisa and Xiao Hu, who had just spread out, quickly ran back.

"What happened, Chen Yang, did Wangcai find something?" Lisa asked.

Xiao Hu was also excited.

Chen Yang nodded, "Wangcai must have found something if it’s reacting this strongly."

"Wangcai, what did you find?" Xiao Hu asked Wangcai immediately.

"..." Chen Yang was speechless.

Wangcai can’t talk, so how’s it supposed to answer you when you ask like that?
