Chapter 1229 Bloodstains And Murmurs
Olai and Alicia’s hearts sank when they saw the pool of blood.
Although the two of them wanted to convince themselves that Ali was still fine, the pool of blood belonged to someone else, and it might have come from the person who attacked him. However, the location of the blood was exactly where Ali had been sitting before, moreover, there were traces left on his seat after being hacked by a sharp weapon. In addition, Ali’s whereabouts were still unknown, and they had not contacted him until now, olai and Alicia both knew that their companion was probably dead.
Zhang Heng followed them to the van and checked the scene, “Yes, the blood didn’t come from a single wound. The victim was stabbed at least twenty times. His body was also twisting and turning during the whole process, which is why there were knife marks on the seat. This also proves that the perpetrator’s skill isn’t that good. However, from the looks of it, the victim’s movements were restricted. At the very least, his hands and feet were bound, which is why he couldn’t avoid it.”
“Is… is he still alive?”Sonja asked.
“It’s impossible. With this amount of blood, even if he doesn’t hit his vitals, there’s no hope,”Zhang Heng said.
Sonja’s expression darkened. She saw Zhang Heng looking into the distance, so she asked, “What’s Wrong?”
“I’m worried that something might happen to Dr. Baker, “Zhang Heng said, “Olai and Alicia said that they were keeping an eye on Dr. Baker’s place to protect him, but now they think that we’re the apostles of some evil spirit. They followed us all the way here, so no one is watching Dr. Baker anymore.”
Songjia was shocked. She had only met Olai’s group of three today, especially Olai. She had only met him once at a bar. Although she was sad to hear that he might have been killed, she didn’t have any other thoughts, as for Doctor Baker, she had known him since she was young and had interacted with him many times. Song Jia could not help but feel worried for him. “Then let’s go to his clinic to take a look.”
“Okay.”
After saying that, song Jia looked at Olai and Alessia beside her and asked if they were traveling together. In the end, the two Inuit shook their heads and Olai said, “We told someone to send the sacred relic here. Something has happened to Eli, so we have to ensure the safety of the sacred relic. I’m sorry, we really can’t take care of Dr. Baker, but I’ve already told my teacher to ask the tribe to send more people to help. When the time comes, we’ll go find Eli together. If there are extra people, we’ll help you too.”
Olai clenched his fists as he spoke. It could be seen that he and Alicia had suffered quite a blow. Ali was a member of the trio and also their closest friend, after realizing that Ali might have been killed, they could not wait to find the murderer and take revenge immediately.
However, even the most hot-tempered olai did not act recklessly at this time. This was because they knew that the safety of the sacred relic was more important, especially when they realized that someone might have already targeted them.
“Alright, let’s change our contact details first,”song Jia suggested. She and Olai exchanged phone numbers in a hurry and then jogged to start the SUV. However, when she was about to reach the front of the car, she realized that Zhang Heng was already sitting on it, and this time, the latter was in the driver’s seat.
“I’ll drive this time, so we can get there faster,”Zhang Heng said.
“Oh, okay.”Song Jia was startled. Without saying anything, she opened the other door.
Then, Zhang Heng started the car. The SUV roared and rushed into the street. As the car sped up, song Jia not only fastened her seatbelt, but also reached out to grab the handrail on the roof, she even forgot to ask the question she wanted to ask earlier. She felt the scenery on both sides of the street recede faster and faster, and the sound of the wind filled her ears.
en
In less than three minutes, the two of them arrived at Dr. Baker’s clinic. Before they even got out of the car, they saw that the closed door of the clinic was now wide open, this seemed to confirm Zhang Heng’s previous guess.
He pulled out the pistol at his waist and said to song jia, “Later, you follow behind me.”
Zhang Heng originally wanted song Jia to stay in the car, but after thinking about what had happened to Ali, he ultimately chose to bring song Jia along. However, this allowed song Jia to put some distance between them, just like that, the two of them sneaked into Dr. Baker’s clinic one after the other.
Not long ago, they had just made a trip here. At the time, Songjia had already felt that the atmosphere here was a little oppressive, but now, the feeling of oppression was even stronger. Furthermore, there were medicine bottles scattered all over the floor, the medicine cabinet was empty, and the table and sofa were overturned on the floor. The most eye-catching and unsettling thing was the line of red scribbled words on the wall. It seemed like someone had cut their finger, it was written in blood.
Zhang Heng glanced at it. It was a very simple sentence, and it was written in English, so he didn’t need Songjia to translate it for him to understand it.
— it’s coming!
“What is it?”Songjia asked, and just as she finished her sentence, she heard the sound of violin music coming from upstairs.
However, the sound was not connected to a musical score at all. The players simply pieced together the messy noise, as if someone had scratched a blackboard with chalk, a few simple notes could cause intense physical discomfort.
Zhang Heng did not answer Songjia’s question. Instead, he followed the sound of the violin and went upstairs. He saw a stooped figure in Dr. Baker’s bedroom.
The man was sitting on a chair with his back to them, so Zhang Heng could not see his face. However, he was sure that it was not Dr. Baker himself. Judging from the way he dressed, he looked more like a street musician, with his beloved violin, they wandered in the Sea of music.
However, listening to his performance, Songjia could understand why he was wandering on the streets. To be honest, calling this kind of thing a performance was blasphemy. The girl only felt that her brain was going to be filled with blood if she continued to listen, in addition, she was anxious to find out the whereabouts of Dr. Baker, so she said, “h.e.l.lo.”
Unfortunately, the violinist in the room seemed to be completely immersed in his performance and couldn’t hear anything else. Song Jia had no choice but to raise the volume again and even knocked on the door, this time, there was finally a reaction from the other side.
The violinist put down the violin in his hand and turned around.
Only then did song Jia realize that the other party was actually younger than she had imagined. He seemed to be in his early twenties, but because of his untidy appearance and haggard look, he looked a little old, meanwhile, his eyes were flas.h.i.+ng with a strange fanaticism.
“Who are you? Why are you at Doctor Baker’s Residence?”Sonja asked.
The person opposite did not answer. Instead, he spoke excitedly in a low and hoa.r.s.e voice.
“Fingeru Magnaf.u.ke Suaruke Suaruke Lalaiye Ugynaf.u.ke Tan.”
After saying this, he immediately turned around and jumped out of the window.
