Chapter 162: Bathing and Raising Maggots

This time, more than ten of them came, all fully armed.

Taking advantage of the night, they sneaked up to the top of the mountain.

At this moment, a woman’s cry for help could be faintly heard from the courtyard.

Sob sob sob sob sob.

“I want to go home. Please let me go!”

“Is there anyone here? Scram, damned flies.”

Hearing the woman’s cry for help, Hardy looked around and said, “There are traces of cars in the courtyard, but there are no cars. Could it be that they have escaped?”

“Hardy, what should we do? Should we attack by force?”

Hardy pondered for a moment and ordered, “Group A will attack by force. Group B will go around the back of the mountain. After we enter, you guys wait for an opportunity to move.”

“Go!”

Under the night sky, the twelve people were like ghosts in the night.

Hardy led his men and rushed into the courtyard, but other than the cries for help from the women, there was no other sound.

One of the doors was open, but there was no one there.

Hardy observed for a while and then led the others to the room that was crying for help.

Creak!

The door opened.

Buzz buzz buzz.

Instantly, a swarm of flies flew over.

The next second, Hardy and the others were all stunned.

They saw two women in the room. Their faces were covered with flies. They were crawling around in a dark mass. Some of them had even crawled into their mouths.

“Oh my god! What’s going on?”

Everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them.

Hardy was the first to react. He waved his hand to drive the flies away and said, “Save them first.”

The few of them rushed forward. With a buzz, the flies dispersed. However, some of the flies were not afraid at all and continued to crawl around the woman’s face.

Hardy recognized the two of them at a glance. They were the missing Louise and Nina.

“Are you the police? Save me quickly!”

At this moment, the two of them also saw Hardy and the others in uniform. They were so excited that they cried.

Seeing this, Hardy immediately ran over and opened the bathtub lid.

Buzz buzz buzz*!*

Another large group of flies flew out.

At the same time, a strong stench assaulted their nostrils.

“Urgh!”

Their expressions instantly changed drastically.

Then, they saw that the two of them were completely naked.

Just as Hardy was about to carry the woman out, he saw a small white worm squirming on her snow-white belly. Upon closer inspection, he immediately swore.

“F*ck. It’s maggots.”

After hearing this, the few of them moved closer to take a closer look and felt their scalps go numb.

They saw a layer of white maggots floating in the feces and urine at the bottom of the vat. They were densely packed, squirming and rolling non-stop.

There were also maggots crawling on the girls’ legs. Some squirmed and climbed up, while others fell straight into the fish tank.

Seeing the white insect repellent, Louise screamed. He could not believe the scene in front of him. He shook his legs crazily, wanting to throw these disgusting things off his legs.

A few days ago, the girls felt itchy and thought that it was a fly crawling on her legs. In the end, she got used to it.

But now, seeing so many maggots, she could not stand the stimulation and fainted.

Hardy immediately hugged her and dragged her out of the bathtub.

Louise’s feet were rotten and black. There were still young maggots crawling around in the dead flesh.

Fortunately, she had already fainted.

Compared to her, Nina, who had gone missing last night, was a little better. However, her feet were a little black and necrotic.

“See if there’s any water. Give them a rinse and send them to the hospital,” Hardy instructed the officers.

Two police officers carried her out. At this time, Team A and Team B were searching every room. Hardy’s gaze fell on the bathtub again. He was really shocked.

“Hardy, there’s a new discovery.”

At this time, a police officer walked in.

“Lead the way!”

Hardy followed the person to the next room. In the end, two police officers rushed out from the next room. They lay on the ground and vomited loudly.

“It’s a little disgusting. You have to be mentally prepared,” the police officer next to him said.

Hardy glanced at the police officers who were lying on the ground and vomiting violently. They were all his old subordinates and were used to more shocking crime scenes. To be able to make them vomit to this extent, this scene must be the worst of them all.

They never expected how shocking the whole crime scene would be.

Buzz buzz buzz.

Just as he walked in, there were also many flies inside. There were five big vats in the middle, emitting a strong stench.

Hardy covered his nose and walked over.

He took a look inside the vat and suddenly felt his stomach churning. Fortunately, there was not much in his stomach, or else he would have vomited all over the floor.

Just like the vat that Louise was in, there was about half a vat of maggots inside. It was a vast expanse of white, and it was very big. It kept squirming and rolling.

The most important thing was that there was a skull inside. Its eyes, nose, and ears had all rotted away, making it impossible to identify it.

A large number of maggots attached themselves to the skull. They crawled into the eye sockets, crawled out from the nose, and ate the last bit of nutrition on the skull.

As the maggots squirmed, the skull continued to shake. It was extremely terrifying.

Hardy came out of the room with a solemn expression. The victim had already been sent to the hospital. The two police officers were still lying on the ground. They then lay on the grass, feeling weak all over.

“Captain, we found four death notices here, but the names have been torn off.”

Hearing that, Hardy immediately advised, “Seal the scene immediately. Everyone must wear gloves when entering and exiting. Contact Zero Crime Squad immediately.”

“Yes!”

Half an hour later, several police officers checked the surrounding traces and took photos. Then, the forensic doctor entered and found the skulls of five victims.

After the initial examination, forensic doctor Neumann wiped the cold sweat on his head and exhaled deeply.

Having worked as a forensic doctor for so many years, he thought that he was already invulnerable. He did not expect that he would still be deeply shocked today.

“Old Nuo, what’s going on?”

Hardy had been waiting by the side. When he saw Neumann come out, he quickly went up to her.

Neumann looked at Hardy, and she said, “In ancient times, there was a criminal law called bathing. The victim was locked in a large vat with only his head exposed. His face would be smeared with honey to attract flies. The executioner would feed the victim on a regular basis. Very soon, the victim would be soaked in his own feces. Maggots would start to grow in the bathtub, and then the maggots would devour the victim’s body. It’s said that someone persisted in the bathtub for a month before being eaten alive by maggots.”

Hardy was a little surprised. What kind of punishment was this?

He had been a police officer for so long, and he had seen many strange things. There was nothing in this world that surprised him anymore, but what he saw and heard that day had completely overturned his view of the world.

Seeing Hardy’s shocked look, Neumann looked around and finally stopped at the wolfdogs in the yard. She said, “From the scene, it seems that they didn’t just kill people. They would kill just to raise maggots.”

Hardy was a little puzzled. What was there to raise maggots for? Could they be sold for money?

“Look at those wolfdogs. They are fat and strong. Raising maggots to feed the dogs!”

“Just to raise maggots to feed the dogs, these people go around arresting people and harming people?”

Hardy was shocked.

Are human lives less valuable than those of these wolf dogs?!

“So I can be sure that the murderer must have a serious mental illness or mental disorder. They must be extremely abnormal.”

“F*ck!”

Hardy was completely furious.

Seeing his angry expression, Neumann comforted him. “The thoughts of these people are hard for ordinary people to understand. However, the wicked will be tortured by the wicked. Didn’t the Death Judge send them a death notice? Tomorrow is the 6th. They won’t be able to escape.”

“I really want to catch these scumbags with my own hands.” Hardy clenched his fist fiercely.
