Many strong villagers in the village would go into the mountains to hunt in their spare time, and sometimes spend the night in the rest houses on the mountains. Apparently, someone was killed while staying overnight.
Ika took his men to search near the rest house, but found no one. Ika thought that the unlucky guy was unlucky enough to be killed and carried away by a wild beast.
Although they felt sorry, everyone went back after a moment of silence.
After returning to the village, Ika gathered the villagers together. After a check, he found that two people were missing. One was the hunter Parik, and the other was old Charlie who guarded the clock tower.
The unlucky guy who was eaten by the beast should be Parik. As for old Charlie, Ika took people to the clock tower to take a look.
The bell ringer, old Charlie, is an old rogue. No one likes to deal with him. He is usually lazy and it is common for him not to ring the bell for several days. During the slack season, the village chief Ika is too lazy to care about him. Ika just thinks he is addicted to alcohol again.
When they arrived at old Charlie's residence on the second floor of the clock tower, they found that he was dead. His death was very miserable, as if his limbs had been broken and his neck was twisted. He had been dead for several days.
After burying the body, Ika began to investigate, but he couldn't find the murderer after searching for a long time. Two nights later, a villager named Locke suddenly ran to him in a panic, saying that he saw a fool killing someone!
After calling a few people and lighting torches, Ika and his men followed Locke to the scene of the incident, only to see a torn body.
After daybreak, Ika took the torn clothes to the villagers for identification. Unfortunately, the clothes of the villagers were almost all made of the same coarse linen, and it was impossible to tell who they belonged to.
After counting the number of people, the only one missing from the entire village was the fool.
Locke said he saw a fool killing someone, but only the fool was missing, not the victim, which was very strange.
Still nothing was found, so the matter was left unresolved.
