Chapter 113 Murder
The fish soup in the pot was already bubbled, and the carrots and potatoes were rising and falling, emitting an attractive aroma, but Lipa next to it seemed as if he hadn't smelled it at all.
Although she promised her husband to stay at home to cook, the former policewoman seemed a little absent-minded from the beginning. She almost got her hands after peeling potatoes and carrots several times. She started to make soup and mistakenly treated the sugar as salt. She only realized when she sprinkled halfway.
After the ingredients and seasonings were all put into the pot, Lipa began to frequently look at the wall clocks on the wall, and she had to look at them almost every half minute.
Half an hour has passed since Erikson went out, and just twenty minutes ago his concerns have become reality. Something seemed to have happened to the communication tower. The signal that the camp had just been connected to was now interrupted.
In other words, at this moment, they have lost contact with the outside world again.
Lipa comforted himself that such a thing would happen. After all, the blizzard was particularly violent, and they all lived well when the communication tower was not built before. Now they are just going back to their previous days.
But for some reason, the uneasiness in her heart did not disappear. On the contrary, as time passed, she began to feel more and more restless.
Listening to the howling cold wind outside the window, Lipa felt that she would be driven crazy if she continued like this, so she finally made up her mind to take off her apron and take off another cold-resistant suit on the wall.
Because the lower abdomen had begun to bulge, the former policewoman was not very convenient to dress now, but in the end he had difficulty getting in. After getting dressed and putting on gloves, Lipa touched his stomach.
"Good boy, we won't stay outside for too long. Just make sure your father is fine and you will come back immediately, so you have to be good next."
After saying that, she was about to reach out to pull the door, but seemed to have thought of something in the middle, Lipa turned around and walked back to the bedroom, opened the wardrobe, and took out her gun.
The former policewoman stuffed his pistol into the outermost pocket of the cold-resistant clothes, then opened the door and walked out in the wind and snow.
Because he walked too fast, or felt that the trip would not take too long, Lipa didn't even turn off the fire, so the fish soup was still rolling in the cast iron pot on the stove.
The first feeling of the former female policewoman after stepping out the door was cold. Even though she was wearing cold clothes, gloves and scarfs, she wrapped everything she could with her, the cold wind would still crawl in through various unexpected gaps. In addition, the snow in the sky also affected her sight. Lipa could only barely see what was within two meters beside her, and she couldn't see clearly if she was far away.
She simply identified the direction of the communication tower, then lowered her body and walked towards it.
Lipa walked for ten minutes in just two hundred meters. Although she lowered her head and was trying to find the footprints left by Erikson, the wind and snow were too heavy. Even if there were footprints left, it would be smoothed out quickly. So as of now, the former policewoman has not found anything yet.
Walking to the edge of the camp, Lipa noticed that the door of a brick house on his right was actually open, swaying violently in the strong wind, but the owner of the house had not closed it for a long time and let the wind and snow surge into his residence.
Seeing this, the former policewoman walked to the house. If she remembered correctly, there should be two non-believer brothers living here. The older brother Hu Peng went out to sea with the fishing team, while the younger brother Buhabendra was working in the quarry. Buhabendra was on vacation two months ago, but she escaped.
However, this time he was not so lucky. As soon as Lipa entered the house, he found a man lying behind the sofa. It was Buhabendra. He had been frozen. However, the real fatal one was not the low temperature and blizzard, but the blood hole in his forehead.
This is the bullet hole left by the bullet, located in the center of the eyebrows, and it will be killed with one blow.
It can be seen that the gunman was moving very quickly. Buhabendra did not react after being shot. There was still a look of surprise on her face. She seemed to not understand where the uninvited guest came out. Then Lipa found the body of his brother Hu Peng in the master bedroom.
Hu Peng died in bed, and he didn't know whether he was lucky or unfortunate. He was still sleeping at that time, so he lost his life in his sleep. Like Buhabendra, he was shot in his eyebrows and killed with one blow, and even his position was not different. The former policewoman felt cold in his heart.
She didn't remember who was in the camp with such good shooting skills and was so ruthless at the same time.
Although Hu Peng and his younger brother Buhabendra are non-believers, they have always been relatively peaceful on weekdays. They were both serious office workers before, but they had to join the advance team and run away here because they were involved in a debt dispute. They have been working hard in the camp and rarely cause trouble. It is hard to imagine that anyone would want to kill their brothers.
Lipa took a few deep breaths and tried to calm his brain down.
A murder case in the camp should have fallen under her jurisdiction, but now the former policewoman's heart is on her husband. Eriksen has not come back for so long, and another murderer with excellent shooting skills appears in the camp, which makes Lipa even more worried about her husband.
She didn't care about surveying and protecting the scene, so she rushed out of the door, speeded up, and ran towards the communication tower.
The former policewoman didn't know how long she had run away. When she climbed up the rock wall and came to the place where the communication tower was, she found that the iron tower that had been built for a long time had collapsed.
It was hit by something, and the thing that hit it was not far away. Lipa could only see a faint shadow in the wind and snow. The thing was about ten meters high, and the length was almost forty meters, and it was oval.
The former policewoman hesitated for a while and walked towards the thing.
After she walked twenty steps, she finally saw clearly what that thing looked like - it was a small aircraft! It was a model she had never seen before. Judging from its sci-fi appearance, it was probably a new product secretly developed by the military.
You should know that the natural environment of the settlement is harsh and there is no port for spacecraft to be parked. Not to mention that in such a blizzard, the people who operate the aircraft choose to land here either because they drink too much or don’t take their lives at all.
Lipa was still guessing the identity of the visitor, but he didn't notice what was tripping under his feet.
She lowered her head and saw a familiar cold-resistance dress in the snow.
