The two cars set off quickly, and with a map to compare, Donnie was able to find his way.

It took them nearly two hours to reach Huanggu Creek.

This was indeed a dilapidated village; they hadn't seen a single person along the way.

But a new problem has arisen.

In the movie, the female lead seems to have superpowers, finding her husband's ranch directly.

In reality, although this village is almost uninhabited, it still has a considerable number of houses, and it's impossible to know which one belongs to whom.

The two cars stopped, and the people inside got out and looked into the distance.

Sheriff Ford approached Cao Kun: "Master Cao, I have a general understanding of Miranda's case."

From what you're saying, you also believe she's not the murderer.

Cao Kun: "Yes."

Sheriff Ford: "But what does this case have to do with the sheriff you mentioned? Is the murderer that sheriff?"

Cao Kun: "You'll find out soon enough."

"Okay." Sheriff Ford suppressed his curiosity and asked, "So, now we're looking for Miranda's husband's ranch?"

Do I need to apply to check the information at the Land Administration Bureau?

Cao Kun: "No need, that's too slow. Just find me a higher spot."

Sheriff Ford was a little curious about how Cao Kun could accurately locate the target, but he didn't ask any further questions and sent Laura and Kane away.

Soon, Cao Kun stood on a small earthen mound, gazing ahead.

With a thought, he had already used the Qi Observation Technique.

Instantly, the flow of Qi on this land came into his view.

Before long, Cao Kun's gaze settled on a house.

In his eyes, the air reacted noticeably differently when it passed over that house.

That house seemed to have a sense of rejection, repelling all the good energy.

But it also absorbed the evil energy.

Cao Kun pointed and said, "See that house? That's the place. Go there."

Although no one knew why Cao Kun chose that house, they still drove towards it out of trust in him.

The two cars stopped, and a group of six people got out.

Sheriff Ford cautiously asked Cao Kun, "Master Cao, is it dangerous inside?"

Cao Kun: "Probably not."

Relieved, Sheriff Ford followed Cao Kun to the front of the house.

The house was locked, with a very sturdy lock.

Cao Kun wanted to kick the door down, but considering that he had not yet recovered, he stepped aside and said, "You guys do it."

Sheriff Ford gave Kane a look, and Kane stepped forward.

"Bang!"

Kane shattered the lock with a single shot and kicked the door open.

Inside the house, there was what looked like a storage room, but it wasn't very big; you could see it clearly at a glance.

Besides the straw scattered on the ground, there were also some farming tools such as lawnmowers.

That's all.

Everyone looked at Cao Kun with questioning eyes, as if asking what was so special about this house.

Cao Kun ignored him and looked down to search.

"There."

Cao Kun took a few quick steps and grabbed an iron chain.

With a forceful pull, he only managed to tear off the straw, revealing a metal cover.

Another large lock was put on the cover.

Cao Kun remembers that the lock wasn't in the original film.

Now that it has come into reality, it has been added.

That makes more sense.

"Whether you use a gun or a tool, you decide whether to open the lock."

Cao Kun looked at Sheriff Ford and his group.

"I'll do it."

Laura stepped forward and drew her sidearm.

"Bang……"

A gunshot rang out, and the shot hit its mark precisely.

"Good marksmanship," Cao Kun praised, bringing a smile to Laura's face.

Cao Kun ripped off the broken lock, lifting the heavy cover to reveal an entrance to the basement.

Sheriff Ford and his men's eyes lit up, and they quickly came over to examine it: "There really is something there."

"Let's go down and take a look."

Cao Kun walked ahead, and the group filed down the stairs to the basement.

The basement wasn't big; besides a bed, various tools hung on the walls next to it.

There were a considerable number of knives, axes, saws, thorns, hooks, and hammers.

Moreover, they were all covered in dried blood.

In front of the bed, a home DV camera was mounted on a tripod.

"This is?"

After looking around, Sheriff Ford had a bad feeling.

Based on his extensive experience, he could roughly guess what this place was used for.

His expression was solemn as he looked at the DV camera.

He walked over and began to look back at the contents.

Soon, his expression turned even more grim.

"what!"

Susan leaned closer, took a few glances, and couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

She saw on the screen that a man was actually assaulting a girl who was tied to a bed.

And that man was someone he knew very well; he was Miranda's husband.

Susan couldn't help but cover her mouth: "He...he..."

Not only Susan was extremely shocked, but so were Robert Downey Jr., Sheriff Ford, Laura, and Kane.

Laura, being a woman herself, was not only shocked but also filled with boundless anger.

Cao Kun glanced at it once and then looked away.

This is exactly the same plot as in the movie, basically the same, so he doesn't need to watch it anymore.

He turned his gaze into the darkness behind the stairs and said, "Come out, I know you're there."

Upon hearing Cao Kun speak, the others turned around and looked behind the stairs with him.

Perhaps knowing that he could no longer hide, a figure slowly emerged from the darkness behind the stairs.

She was a girl with messy hair and her clothes were torn in many places, leaving her barely clothed.

She was pale, her hands were crossed in front of her chest, and she looked timid and extremely frightened.

"It's you."

Laura recognized her as the girl from the DV camera.

The girl who was abused.

"Don't be afraid, I'm a police officer," Laura reassured her.

Since it was inconvenient for her to take off her police uniform, she turned her gaze to Susan.

Susan understood, took off her clothes, and went over to drape them over the girl.

Cao Kun did not stop her; he did not sense any danger from the girl.

There is also such a living person in the movie.

However, in the movie, she attacked the female lead.

Now that there are more of them, she naturally doesn't dare to make a move.

Seeing that the crowd seemed to have no ill intentions, the girl gradually relaxed.

Susan asked her, "What's your name?"

"Emily...

"You're perfectly safe now, Emily," Susan said, putting her arm around her shoulder to comfort her.

Cao Kun looked at Sheriff Ford and his men: "You all know what happened, right?"

Some remained silent, while others nodded in response.

Cao Kun then asked, "Have you finished watching the contents of the DV video?"

Sheriff Ford: "No, but it's all pretty much the same thing; the facts of the crime are clear enough."

"Let's take another look."

Cao Kun stepped forward and continued playing the content from the DV camera.

In the video, a tall man assaults and even abuses Emily.

After he finished, he walked over to the camera and said, "It feels so good to be God."

After this section ends, the rest of the content is similar.

Besides Emily, there were other girls, all of whom were quite young.

Cao Kun skipped over them one by one.

Until the man inside was no longer Miranda's husband, but another man, Cao Kun paused the video.

"How could it be him?"

Upon seeing the man in the video, Susan, Robert Downey Jr., and even Sheriff Ford were all shocked.
