Early the next morning, after spending a sleepless night, Xu Lei and others learned all the details of the murder the night before from the security personnel.

The attack occurred around 10:30 at a farmer's home in the non-garrison area outside the base. The victims were a young couple.

The investigators who came out were the first to discover the body, but what they discovered was not the first scene. Instead, they first discovered the body in the "haunted" courtyard. Then, after reporting it to the headquarters, they followed the blood stains and found it.

The residence where the incident occurred.

According to their descriptions, the two bodies had severe lacerations, as if they had been bitten by some kind of wild beast, but the fatal injuries were also obvious - their necks were twisted at a weird angle.

When it was discovered, the neck of the body lying on its side was broken back at almost 180 degrees, and the skin in the throat area had been torn.

They could not tell whether the other lacerations on the body were caused after death - in fact, they did not have time to conduct an examination at all. After discovering the body, their first reaction was to quickly eliminate potential dangers and then return

Security at the base has been strengthened.

Now, this case has been reported to the local police station, Yindu police have been dispatched to the scene, and the two bodies have been pulled away.

However, they chose a completely inappropriate time to expose the two corpses to the sight of early-rising residents.

So, inevitably, rumors began to spread around the base.

Some people say that it is the revenge of the dead Rekesh couple after being disturbed, some say that man-eating beasts appeared in the village, and some say that Chinese technicians brought biochemical monsters. No matter what kind of rumor,

In the end, they all point to one conclusion: the murder occurred after the Chinese people entered, so it must be related to the Chinese people.

For a moment, this base seemed to be lost to the public. Although no one dared to attack the base due to the strong firepower advantage, if the rumors continued to be allowed to ferment, this technology exchange project would definitely be impossible to proceed.

Went down.

...

Xu Lei and Bo He walked between the field ridges, carrying out their survey work according to the plan. After completing the marking of a point, Xu Lei asked:

"Brother, do you think this incident is aimed at us?"

Bo He nodded and replied:

"It's obvious from the results. You see, it's only been a day since this happened, and the rumors have already spread to this extent. It's obviously someone who guided it, and it's targeting our agricultural transformation project."

"But what I don't understand is who is behind this - I don't see the benefit of boycotting our project at all for Yindu."

"You see, we are doing this agricultural transformation project to help them increase their food production. Essentially, it is to make up for the losses caused to them by the Tongtian River project. They have also accepted this plan."

"So, if this project is terminated, aren't they themselves the biggest losers?"

"No matter whether the agricultural transformation project can be carried out or not, the Tongtian River project will continue. No matter how stupid their officials are, they cannot be so stupid that they will not give up the compensation they have received and insist on ruining the Tongtian River project.

To what extent?"

Hearing Bo He's words, Xu Lei also had a puzzled look on her face.

As Bohe said, this matter could be regarded as a simple demonstration when the details had not been sorted out. But now, with the development of the incident and the release of the details of the incident, everything has changed.

Tasteful.

Public opinion was deliberately guided to the unfavorable side of China, and the people who created the public opinion very cleverly took advantage of the local people's low level of education and general superstition to create three things that normal people think are ridiculous, but

However, there are extremely convincing rumors among the lower-level farmers.

This kind of rumor spreads much faster than "normal" people killing people, and the possible collective consequences later are much more serious.

All the evidence shows that this incident has nothing to do with ghosts and the like, but it is extremely difficult to prove this, especially to those "foolish people".

Thinking of this, Xu Lei shook her head and said:

"I don't understand what's going on... Maybe we should ask the headquarters tonight to see if they have any more speculations."

"Forget it, asking is in vain. When it comes to matters in this area, our authority is no longer sufficient. We can only wait for the results to come out."

"Actually, I'm not too worried about the outcome of this matter. It's still a single incident. It will be dealt with gradually and it will eventually pass. What I'm worried about is that the other party has back-up plans."

"Is there any back-up plan? You mean..."

Bo He sighed and replied:

"Just keep killing people. To create panic, a single incident is not enough. At least a series of things need to happen continuously, gradually strengthening people's fear, to get the best effect."

"Didn't we do this before? In order to prevent others from entering the experimental field, we first threw a few non-venomous snakes into the field, and then found a few people to pretend to be bitten by the snakes. After doing this three or five times, no one dared to go in again.

Come in——Aren’t they doing the same thing as us now?”

"I suspect that their ultimate goal may be to drive out the surrounding people and create a vacuum zone for us."

"Once the farmers in this area leave, it will be difficult to continue our project. After all, agricultural transformation is a long-term task. In addition to facility construction, technical training is also an important part."

"If farmers are not willing to contact us, then we still need to provide crappy technical training."

Xu Lei nodded solemnly and said:

"It does mean something like that. But what are they trying to do?"

"Who knows what they are trying to do... Ah San's brain circuit is always so baffling."

"One possibility is that the person who did this really has nothing to do with the government, and maybe it is manipulated by some local capital forces. As for what they want to get from these things, we don't know."

Xu Lei frowned and thought for a moment, then continued to ask:

"Could it be that natural sect again? I heard that they often do similar things overseas."

"It's possible... Didn't the news last time say that they can even poison reservoirs, let alone this kind of thing. The environment in Yindu is not as good as in China, especially in Punjab.

, it can be said to be a n-g state. If it is really done by the Natural Sect, then we have to be more careful."

"This group of people is lawless and has no scruples in doing things...but having said that, they were just hit once, so they shouldn't be able to recover so quickly, right?"

"I don't know... Anyway, I always feel that our project may not go smoothly this time."

Hearing Xu Lei's words, Bo He let out a long sigh. The two looked at each other and saw deep worry in each other's eyes.

tomato

Before arriving, none of them were prepared to face such a threat. They thought that the biggest difficulty might be that the local chaotic situation might affect them. However, they did not expect that on the first day after arriving in Punjab, they

Encountered such malicious actions that were obviously directed at them.

But fortunately, the organization behind them seemed to have been prepared for such a situation. The entire base was still calm, and daily work and life were not affected in any way.

Thinking of this, Xu Lei felt a little relaxed, but what she didn't know was that, somewhere she couldn't see, the security personnel of this base had raised the security level by more than one level.

With the assistance of Bayang, the investigation of the suspects in this incident has been fully launched.

However, they are still a little away from the moment when the truth comes to light.
