The smell of blood belonged to the man named Steve among the couple.
The smell of dog blood, as expected, should belong to the dog from Xiongzi in the small town down the mountain.
Luke didn't enter the house, but quickly passed through the woods, chasing after Steve's bloody smell.
Mixed with Steve's bloody smell, there was also the smell of his girlfriend Jenny, and the smell of Annie.
The reason why Annie called Luke was probably because she received the couple's call for help.
When chatting with her, Luke said that he was a policeman by profession and worked as a safety instructor at No. 37 Camp.
And if she directly calls the police, it is unknown when the police will come.
This is not a town, but an old forest deep in the mountains at night. The police are also human, and they are also afraid of driving on mountain roads at night and causing car accidents.
Luke moved extremely quickly, and quickly ran a few hundred meters, and finally stopped in front of a dilapidated wooden house near a water pool.
He approached the cabin and whispered, "Annie, keep quiet, I'm Luke."
Inside, Annie groaned a little, but she swallowed it halfway through.
Luke then pushed open the dilapidated door of the wooden house and walked in.
The situation inside was quite dire.
Steve was covered in blood, lying on the ground, his eyes full of horror and despair.
Seeing Luke entering the door, he trembled after a while, appearing extremely terrified.
Jenny hurriedly whispered in his ear, "It's Luke, it's the police."
There was a little more hope in Steve's eyes, and he looked over.
But he couldn't speak anymore, his slightly trembling lips turned white, and he obviously lost too much blood.
Annie and Jenny were also covered in blood, but they were not injured, but were stained with Steve's blood.
Luke made a silent gesture to the two, then quickly turned on the small flashlight to check Steve's injuries.
After a while, he handed the small flashlight to Annie and asked her to help illuminate it. He frowned and asked, "Who did it?"
Jenny said tremblingly, "It's those children."
Luke: "The group in the town below the mountain? Six people, all sixteen or seventeen years old, and one is a girl? With a dog?"
Jenny nodded again and again: "That's them."
Luke had already taken off the backpack behind him, took out some medical supplies, put on a pair of rubber gloves for himself, and started cutting open the clothes on Steve's wound.
He continued to ask, "Why did they do this?"
The injury on Steve's body was not minor, but it was not the kind of serious injury caused by a sudden and ruthless knife.
Hot-headed brats are prone to ruthless strikes. It is commonly said that strikes are not serious. This is also the reason why many brats are killed.
But there were more than a dozen wounds on Steve's body, and the wounds were uneven and twisted and overlapped.
This kind of incision shows that the opponent did not cut directly, but cut at a relatively slow speed, and there may be a pause in the middle, and the knife was repeated many times.
To put it bluntly, this kind of wound is more like execution or sadism than pure killing.
This situation is a bit scary.
Seeing his rescue behavior, Jenny felt hopeful in her heart, and began to explain what happened before: "He, they stole our car, let's go find... Steve found the place where they planted weeds, and wanted to Get the car back. They let the dog go and Steve stabbed the dog...they rushed up and grabbed him...then they tied up Steve and took turns cutting him with a knife..."
Luke just listened quietly without interrupting her.
Jenny's words may not represent the facts, or not all the facts.
But in his keen sense of smell, Steve and Jenny really have a very small amount of fresh "weed" smell.
Annie also added a few words on the side, for example, Jenny helped the injured Steve to ask for help, and when she called Luke, the group of children ran over to find them.
Under Annie's reminder, Jenny used clothes to temporarily stop the bleeding on Steve's body, and abandoned a piece of bloody clothes on another road.
The two women supported Steve and hid in this dilapidated cabin, only then did they avoid the children who were chasing and killing them.
With the words of the two women, plus the various previous situations, Luke can also draw a rough judgment.
Perhaps Steve and Jenny had fierce conflicts with those children, but it is not normal for a group of children to do such a cruel thing to Steve.
After all, even if normal children suffer, they should go to their parents or call the police instead of arresting each other and taking turns to use a knife to commit violence.
Normal children are not so cruel.
While thinking about it, Luke quickened his movements.
After giving Steve an anesthetic, his wound was quickly cleaned, and then gauze was put on it.
This is only a temporary measure to ease Steve's blood loss.
The good news is that Steve has suffered so many knives, but no major blood vessels were injured. After sending him down the mountain, he can still be rescued.
After Jenny finished telling what happened, Luke asked Annie, "Where's your uncle Stephen?"
The group of brats were all chasing and killing them to the cabin at the campsite, but Stephen, the owner of the shop, didn't come out to stop them, which is very abnormal.
Not to mention that Stephen was alone, there was an old-fashioned double-barreled shotgun in the wooden house, and it was no problem just to frighten a few brats.
Annie shook her head: "He said to check the wires this afternoon. It seems that the group of children broke another wire. After going out in the afternoon, they never came back."
Luke was speechless.
These brats are really f*cking disgusting, and they haven't done anything good.
"Is the pickup truck from the campground still there? And the keys," he asked.
Annie: "Yes, the car keys are hanging on the wall next to the living room door."
Luke sped up his hands, finished treating Steve's injury, and said to him, "Hold on to the pain, and I'll help you pass."
Steve could only nod slightly to show his understanding.
Using only his left hand, Luke helped him up: "Come on, come back with me to pick up the car and go down the mountain, and take Steve to the hospital."
Jenny: "But those kids..."
Luke took out his right hand and pulled the Glock out of the quick-draw holster: "If someone dares to point a knife at me, then I will be happy to kill a few suspects who attacked the police."
Only then did Jenny realize: "You..."
Annie quickly explained: "He is a policeman."
Luke didn't bother to take out the police badge in his inner pocket.
If Jenny even doubted the person who helped save her boyfriend's life, then he wouldn't bother to talk to her.
Jenny responded quickly: "Thank you, Luke."
Luke just nodded and said to Annie: "I will keep an eye on you, don't panic, just follow me."
"Yeah." Annie nodded vigorously.
Four people pushed the door out.
At this moment, the sky was dark, there was a rumbling thunder, and there was a rustling sound, but the rain began to fall.
He didn't hesitate, just said: "Go."
