Chapter 32: There are eyes across the mountain

"Holy shit, what is that thing?" Xie Lun looked around vigilantly, "Is it a wolf or a dog?"

After a while, after seeing that there was indeed no abnormal movement around, Xie Lun came to the side of the knocked down man.

The man was already dead. He was shot twice in the chest and once in the head. His skull was opened. However, Sherron cautiously confiscated the revolver and searched him again to make sure there were no other weapons or other valuable clues before he cautiously approached the house.

As soon as he opened the door, a fishy smell hit his face. But it's not the smell of corpses, but the smell of rotting garbage.

The small house was just like the man outside, dirty and messy, with rubbish everywhere and sewage flowing across it. I don’t know how that man could endure it.

Xie Lun frowned and quickly searched the room despite the flies flying in the sky, and soon made an important discovery in the compartment.

This compartment should be where the man slept. Under a simple wooden bed made of wooden boards and bricks, Sherron found a black suitcase. When he opened it, he found it was filled with wallets, jewelry, car keys and other items.

These things are old and new, and the prices vary, but without exception they are all stained with blood. There was no cash in any of the wallets, but judging from the photos inside, none of them belonged to the man with a broken head outside.

"Is that guy a serial murderer? These are all stolen goods."

Sherron sighed, repacked the suitcase, and when he carried it out of the cabin, he happened to see an older white man standing next to the body.

When the old man saw Xie Lun, who was wearing a black suit, wearing sunglasses, and carrying a black suitcase in his hand, his whole body trembled, and his hands quickly reached for his waist.

Unfortunately, a bullet that hit the ground at his feet interrupted his movement.

Sherron raised his gun and said sternly: "Nia, put your head in your hands."

"nia"

The old man quickly raised his hands, hugged his head according to Sherron's instructions, and shouted loudly: "I am a former New York City Major Crimes Detective. Don't shoot, Detective, this is a misunderstanding."

Xie Lun cautiously stepped forward to search the old man's body. However, as soon as he touched the old man's clothes, a system prompt rang in his mind:

An important figure in the case, Bob Carter, has been detected. The case is code-named "Eyes Behind the Mountains." After solving this case, experience points and points will be awarded based on the degree of completion. Please be aware of this, agents.

Although the system beeped, Xie Lun still did not let down his guard. He handed over the old man's gun and searched carefully again. After confirming that there was no other danger, he took a few steps back and asked in a deep voice: "You are a New York City man?" Detective, what are you doing here?"

Without Sherron's permission, Bob still didn't dare to let go, and said with a wry smile: "I am a former police officer, I have retired. Because I was bored, I organized a family road trip to California. Pass by here."

Xie Lun also vaguely recalled this movie called The Mountain Has Eyes. It seemed to be an old movie, but it was very bloody. It was a typical American plasma horror movie. Although I can’t remember the details of the plot, I vaguely remember that a family was attacked by some kind of monster in a large Gobi desert.

Sherron motioned for Bob to put down his hand and frowned: "What about your family? Why are you here alone?"

Bob sighed: "Our RV broke down in front and lost the signal, so I walked back here to seek rescue. Unexpectedly"

He looked at Xie Lun suspiciously: "Agent, what is going on?"

Sherron threw the suitcase in front of Bob: "You will understand after you open it."

As a former homicide detective, Bob quickly came to his senses and looked at the man's body in surprise: "This is a trap."

"Judging from the evidence, it should be right." Xie Lun frowned and said, "Did he give you directions?"

"Yes, he said there is a shortcut to get through the desert faster." Bob suddenly slapped his thigh, "My family is still there, they are in danger."

"Wait a minute." Sherron returned Bob's pistol to him and said in a deep voice, "I'll go with you."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Agent."

"Just ask me to thank you."

"Then this corpse"

"How come he cheated your whole family and you still want to bury him and die?"

Bob spat at the man's body, got into the car with Sherron in a panic, and drove quickly towards the depths of the Gobi Desert.

On the top of the mountain in the distance, a person was observing the situation here with a telescope. Seeing Xie Lun and the others driving away, the man turned his head and let out a few unexplained roars, and soon more than a dozen black shadows flashed across the rocks.

In the car, Sherron showed Bob his ID. Bob also reassured Sherron and told Sherron about his family's situation in detail.

Bob's family drove an RV with a trailer attached to the back. In addition to Bob, there are his wife Ethel, eldest daughter Lynn, son-in-law Doug, granddaughter Catherine, second daughter Brenda, and youngest son Bobby.

Not counting baby Catherine, who is just one year old, there are already six people in the family. But that's not all, because Bob also brought two of his own sheepdogs.

Gee, six adults and two dogs can fit into a RV and a trailer.

Xie Lun felt overwhelmed just thinking about it.

After driving about five kilometers, under Bob's guidance, the SUV turned onto the so-called "shortcut." Not to mention, although the road is a bit bumpy, it is fairly smooth.

It's no wonder that even a veteran like Bob doesn't get suspicious. This road is obviously really a highway, but it's just in disrepair.

While driving, the car suddenly shook violently and swerved to the right.

If this happens while driving, never slam on the brakes, as this is likely to cause you to roll several 360 degrees along with the car on the road.

Xie Lun held the steering wheel tightly, controlled the car, gently applied the brakes, and slowly parked the SUV to the side of the road.

Bob was in shock, clutching the handle tightly, and said anxiously: "What's wrong?"

Xie Lun narrowed his eyes: "It must have been a flat tire."

Bob was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed drastically: "Just like my RV, my car also had a sudden tire puncture."

"Obviously some people don't want us to rescue your family." Sherron sneered and suddenly stepped on the accelerator. "It's a pity that those guys forgot that even if the tire is flat, it doesn't mean that you can't drive."

The engine roared, and the exhaust pipe spewed black smoke. The SUV with the flat right front wheel was like a beast that had reawakened, roaring and getting back on the road.

Listening to the "clunking" sound and feeling the car's more violent bumps, Bob's face turned pale: "The road conditions are too bad. If this continues, the wheels will not be able to bear it."

"What are you afraid of? It's a government car anyway. If it breaks down, I can just replace it with a new one."

Sherron's light words made Bob almost vomit blood.
