Dark, gloomy clouds hang over the little town of Rust, and every residence in the town was in a tense mood. The reason for such an atmosphere was due to the fact that a fresh corpse of a man was found on the shores of a river that flows not far from the town. The identity of the man was unknown as of the moment, and none of the town's residents recognized him. What this meant was that the man was not a resident of Rust.
Speculations on the cause of the man's death abound in town. Some think that the man accidentally fell into the river and drowned. Others think that the man was murdered, pointing to the signs of struggle found on his body. Of course, all of these are just speculations at the moment, and until the result of the autopsy comes out, they will remain as such.
Days passed, and the result of the autopsy finally came out. According to the authorities, the man did not die of natural causes or by drowning but by a blunt trauma on the head, indicating signs of foul play. The news caused a frenzy in town, and every residence was afraid that a serial killer might be on the loose.
But then new information came out that was related to the man's identity. Apparently, the victim was a notorious drug trafficker who was arrested not too long ago. This new information somewhat calmed the residents because it meant that the man might have been summarily executed by vigilantes. Although this was still terrifying news, it also indicated that there was no serial killer roaming around.
And with this, the tense atmosphere in the town of Rust that was caused by the discovery of the corpse of a man finally subsided, and with it, the peace in the residents lives finally returned, albeit slowly.
