Chapter 484 Are They Again?
Early the next morning, after a sleepless night, Xu Lei and others learned all the details of the previous night's murder from the security personnel.

The attack took place around 10:[-] at a farmer's home in the non-resident area outside the base. The dead were a young couple.

The first to find the body was the former investigators, but what they found was not the first scene, but the first to find the body in the "haunted" courtyard, and after reporting to the headquarters, they found the body along the bloodstains. The residence where the incident occurred.

According to their descriptions, the bodies of the two had serious lacerations, as if they were bitten by some kind of wild beast, but at the same time, the fatal injuries were also obvious-their necks were twisted at a strange angle, and after being bitten When it was discovered, the neck of the corpse lying on its side was snapped back almost 180 degrees, and the skin at the throat had been torn.

They couldn't tell whether the other lacerations on the body were caused after death—in fact, they didn't have time to do an inspection at all. After discovering the body, their first reaction was to quickly eliminate potential dangers and then return to the base Strengthen security.

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

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

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

Some people say that it was the revenge of the disturbed ghosts of the dead Rikesh couple, some said that there were man-eating beasts in the village, and some said that the technicians from Huaxia brought biochemical monsters, no matter what kind of rumors, In the end, it all pointed to a conclusion: the murder happened after the Chinese people entered, so it must be related to the Chinese people.

All of a sudden, this base seemed to be the target of public criticism. Although no one dared to attack the base due to the strong firepower advantage, if the rumors continued to ferment, this technology exchange project would definitely not be able to continue.

Xu Lei and Bo He walked between the field ridges, carrying out their survey work according to the plan. After marking a spot, Xu Lei asked:
"Brother, do you think this incident is aimed at us?"

Bo He nodded and replied:

"From the results, it's obvious. You see, it's only been a day since this incident happened, and the rumors have already spread to such an extent. It's obvious that someone guided them, and it's aimed at our agricultural transformation project."

"But what I can't figure out is who is manipulating this matter behind the scenes-I don't see any benefit to Yindu from boycotting our project."

"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 the ones who lose the most interests?"

"Anyway, no matter whether the agricultural transformation project can go on or not, the Tongtianhe project must go on. No matter how stupid their officials are, they can't be so stupid that they don't want any compensation. They have to bite the bullet and mess up the Tongtianhe project. degree?"

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

As Bo He said, this matter could be regarded as a simple demonstration when the details were not clarified, but now, with the development of the incident and the announcement of the details of the case, all this has changed up.

Public opinion was deliberately led to the unfavorable side of China, and the people who made the public opinion also took advantage of the low education level of the local people and the general superstition, creating three ridiculous, but in the eyes of normal people. There are extremely convincing rumors among the bottom peasant groups.

Such rumors spread much faster than "normal" people killing people, and the possible group consequences in the future are much more serious.

All the evidence showed that this incident had nothing to do with ghosts and ghosts, but it was even more difficult to prove this, especially to those "fools".

Thinking of this, Xu Lei shook her head and said:
"I don't understand what's going on. Maybe we should ask the command tonight to see if they have any more speculations."

"Forget it, it's useless to ask. When it comes to this matter, our authority is no longer enough. We can only wait for the results honestly."

"Actually, I'm not too worried about the outcome of this matter. It's still a single case. If it is dealt with slowly and fades away, it will eventually pass. What I am worried about is that the other party still has a backup."

"Is there a backup? What you mean is"

Bo He sighed and replied:

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

"Didn't we do this before? In order to prevent others from entering the experimental field, we first threw a few non-poisonous snakes into the field, and then asked a few people to pretend to be bitten by snakes. After three or five times, no one dared to enter the field again. In--now they're doing the same thing as us?"

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

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

"If the farmers are not willing to contact us, then we still have technical training."

Xu Lei nodded solemnly, and said:
"It does mean that. But what are they planning?"

"Who knows what they are trying to figure out? Ah San's brain circuits are always so inexplicable."

"There is a possibility that those who do this have nothing to do with the government, maybe some local capital forces are manipulating it. 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 say it last time? They can even do the poisoning of the reservoir, let alone this kind of thing. The environment in Yindu is no better than that in China, especially in Punjab. NG state, if it is really done by the natural sect, then we have to be careful."

"This group of people is lawless, and they have no scruples in doing things. But then again, they were hit just once, and they shouldn't recover so quickly, right?"

"I don't know. Anyway, I always feel that our project may not be smooth sailing this time."

Hearing Xu Lei's words, Bo He heaved a long sigh, and the two looked at each other, reading deep worry from each other's eyes.

Before they came, none of them were prepared to face such a threat. They thought that the biggest difficulty might be that the chaotic situation in the local area might affect them, but unexpectedly, they just arrived in Punjab on the first day. Encountered such malicious actions that were clearly aimed at them.

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

Thinking of this, Xu Lei felt a little relieved, but what she didn't know was that, where 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 also been fully launched.

However, they were still a little short of time from the moment when the truth came to light.
