The next morning, after 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 a non-resident area outside the base. The deceased was a young couple.

The first person to find the body was the investigators who came out, but they did not find the first scene, but the body was first found in the "haunted" courtyard. After reporting to the command center, they found the residence where the incident happened along the blood.

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

They could not tell if the other lacerations on the body were caused by death - in fact, they had no time to do an examination. After discovering the body, their first reaction was to quickly eliminate the potential danger and then return to the base to strengthen security.

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

However, they chose a completely inappropriate opportunity to expose the two bodies to the sight of early-wake residents.

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

Some people say it was the revenge of the dead Ricksh couple's souls after being disturbed, some say it was a man-eating beast in the village, and some say it was a biochemical monster brought by a technician from China. No matter which kind of rumors, the final conclusion is the one that points to: the murder case only happened after the Chinese entered, so it must be related to the Chinese.

For a moment, this base seemed to be on the target of public criticism. Although no one dared to attack the base due to its powerful firepower advantage, if rumors continue to ferment, this technology exchange project will definitely not be able to continue.

......

Xu Lei and Bo He walked between the ridges of the field and carried out their survey work as planned. After completing the marking of a point, Xu Lei asked:

"Senior brother, do you think this incident is targeting us?"

Bohe nodded and replied:

"It's obvious from the results. You see, the rumors have spread to this level just one day. Obviously someone is guiding it, targeting our agricultural transformation project."

"But what I can't figure out is who is manipulating this thing behind the scenes--I can't see any benefit to Yindu when resisting our project."

"Look, we are doing this agricultural transformation project to help them increase their food production, essentially to make up for the losses caused to them by the Tongtianhe project. They have accepted this plan."

“So, if this project is terminated, aren’t the ones who suffer the greatest interest themselves?”

"Anyway, no matter whether the agricultural transformation project can be carried out or not, the Tongtianhe project must be carried out. No matter how stupid their official official is, it is impossible to compensate for it that it is stupid. We have to bite the bullet and make the Tongtianhe project ruin the extent, right?"

Hearing Bo He's words, Xu Lei's face also had a look of confusion.

As Bohe said, this matter could be regarded as a simple demonstration before the details were cleared, but now, with the development of the incident and the announcement of the details of the case, all this has changed.

Public opinion is deliberately guided to the unfavorable side of China, and the people who create public opinion also cleverly take advantage of the local people's low education level and generally superstitious characteristics, creating three rumors that seem ridiculous to normal people but are extremely persuasive among the lower-level farmers.

This kind of rumor spreads much faster than the "normal" killing incidents, and the mass consequences may be caused in the future.

All the evidence shows that this incident has nothing to do with the likes of ghosts, but it is even more difficult to prove this, especially to prove it to those "fools".

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

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

"Forget it, it's useless to ask. When it comes to this matter, our authority is no longer enough, so we can only wait for the result to come out honestly."

"Actually, I'm not very worried about the result of this matter. Now it's a single case. If you deal with it slowly, it will always pass. What I'm worried about is that the other party has a backup plan."

"There is a backhand? You mean..."

Bohe sighed and replied:

"It's just that I have to continue to kill people. To create panic, a single case is not enough. At least a series of things need to happen continuously and gradually strengthen people's fear in order to achieve the best results."

"Why 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 to pretend to be bitten by snakes. After three or five times, no one dared to go in again-------What they do now is like us?"

"I suspect that their ultimate goal may be to drive the people around us out and create a vacuum zone 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 job. In addition to facility construction, technical training is also a very important part."

"If farmers are unwilling to contact us, then we will do nothing technical training."

Xu Lei nodded with a serious expression and said:

"It's really a bit of that. But what exactly do they plan?"

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

"One possibility is that the one who does this is really not official, maybe it is the local capital forces that 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:

"Will it be the one who did that natural sect again? I heard that they often do similar things overseas."

"It's possible... Didn't I say it last time? They can even do poisoning the reservoir, let alone this. The environment in Yindu is not as good as in China, especially in Punjab. It can be said to be in an n-g state. If it is really done by the Natural Sect, then we have to be careful."

"These people are lawless and have no scruples in doing things... But then again, they were hit just now, and they probably won't be able to recover so quickly, right?"

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

Hearing Xu Lei's words, Bohe sighed a long time, and the two looked at each other and read deep worries from each other's eyes.

Before coming, none of them were ready to face such a threat. They thought that the biggest difficulty might be that the chaos in the local area might affect them, but unexpectedly, on the first day of arriving in Punjab, they encountered such malicious actions that were obviously coming to them.

Fortunately, the organization behind them seemed to be prepared for such a situation, and the entire base was still calm and his daily work and life were not affected at all.

Thinking of this, Xu Lei felt a little relaxed, but what she didn't know was that in places she couldn't see, the security staff at 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.
