Chapter 102: Bizarre Fishing Case
In the Xiaoyun Restaurant, when Alan saw Lang Mo walking in with Liao Mu Tanxiao, the joy in his heart was of course self-evident.
"Director Liao, I haven't seen you for a long time, what kind of wind is blowing you to me again?" Alan hurriedly stepped forward and greeted him with a smile.
"Okay, good, thanks to you, it's very good! I'm still the director of Wumi Township, I'm afraid that in the future, I'll often bring people from the police station to you to eat, are you welcome?" Liao Mu said, looking at Alan and Lang Mo meaningfully.
"Director Liao, you really know how to laugh. Welcome, of course I welcome. I'm going to invite you as a distinguished guest like you, and I'm willing to do that. Alain said happily.
"Hehe, then I'll thank the proprietress in advance, please prepare a few side dishes for us today, I want to have a few drinks with Principal Wolf. Liao Mu replied with a smile.
"That's as it should be. Wait, I'll go and prepare a meal for you." Alan hurriedly beckoned the Cuicui and the drunkard to hurry up and start cooking. Alain and Cuicui were busy. Two big men sat in the dining room and took a sip of tea, Liao Mu thought about it, opened his mouth, wanted to say something, but stopped. Seeing this, Lang Mo may also guess what he wants to say, but he may be too thin-skinned, and he may be a little embarrassed to thank Lang Mo. The atmosphere seems to be weird. Seeing this, Lang Mo changed the topic and asked, "Director Liao, what kind of theft did you just say, this is...?"
As soon as he said the case, Liao Mu's expression obviously returned to normal, but he quickly wrinkled his brows into a Sichuan character. After taking a few sips of tea in a row, he slowly put down the teacup and said, "If you want to say, this is a theft, and that can't be entirely the case." So, according to the report of the villager in Fenghua Village, he said it in detail. Finally, he added: "It is strange to me that if what the villager said is true, then the person who takes some fish must first dig the wall of the pond, and then drain the water first, and then go down to catch the fish." The question is...."He paused.
"What's the problem? Could it be that this small fishpond fishing case will still stump you, Director Liao?" Lang Mo asked hurriedly.
"How can I tell you this? Because before I looked for you, I had already visited the fish pond in the east of the village. After my investigation, I found a very puzzling phenomenon. Liao Mu sorted out his thoughts and said.
"What's the incomprehensible phenomenon?"
"The reason why I am puzzled is that the square pond with a length and width of 100 meters has been drained of water, and I walked along the pond several times, but I could not find the gap in the water, and I did not find any traces of fresh soil excavated on the ridge of the pond. So, the problem arises, let's not talk about the strange thing that there is not a single fish left in the pond overnight. Where does this pond of water flow from?" Liao Mu's words seemed to answer, and he seemed to be asking himself.
"Is it possible that the water has flowed through a hole in the earthen wall of the pond?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! I have taken a closer look, and I have not found any leaky holes or any other holes in the wall of the pond, not even a crab hole. Taking a step back, even if I was sloppy and didn't find the hidden hole, but the middle of the pond was deep and the surrounding area was shallow, and no matter how leaky the hole was, it was impossible to suck the water in the middle of the pond away. I haven't heard of water flowing to a high place. Liao Mu further explained.
Hearing this, Lang Mo was obviously curious and asked, "No, such a thing happened, the water of such a large fish pond wouldn't evaporate and disperse by itself, right?"
"How is this possible? Not to mention that in this rainy day, even in the hot summer, a pond full of water will not evaporate overnight. It's just puzzling. Just now, I was wondering if there was some crack at the bottom of the pond that leaked the pond water and fish into the underground river, but after I took the villagers who reported the crime to the scene of the pond to investigate, there were only layers of silt at the bottom of the pond, and I was unwilling just now, and asked the villagers to pick up the silt, but still did not find any cracks and hidden passages or anything like that. Saying this, Liao Mu's brows furrowed even tighter.
"In this way, this is really a very strange fishing case, but, Director Liao, don't worry, this is not a homicide case, investigate it slowly, this will have a result sooner or later." Seeing that Liao Mu was so anxious, Lang Mo comforted him again and again.
"Hey, if it's usual, of course I won't be too anxious, maybe you don't know, the villagers of Fenghua Village are very convinced of gods and ghosts, and the villagers who accompanied me just now saw that I had no clue, and they actually said that what kind of dragon and snake is doing strange things, and what kind of big dragon and snake sucked all the fish in the pond with the water of the pond into the belly of the dragon snake! This is simply unreasonable! How can there be any dragons, snakes and ghosts in this world, it is simply nonsense! This is not an insult and contempt for us case-handling personnel? If the case is not solved as soon as possible, I am afraid that those villagers who do not know the truth will revolt and spread the word everywhere. When the time comes, how will I, the director, explain to the above? This is really a hell of a daylight life. Liao Mu said with some annoyance.
Speaking of the dragon snake, Lang Mo hurriedly asked: "Director Liao, what dragon and snake? Can you be more detailed?"
"Oh, isn't it the big python with a cockscomb on its head that the villagers saw before? This is the dragon snake they talk about, saying that this beast has been practicing for thousands of years, has become a essence, can swallow clouds, can spit mist, can also spell, can speak to people, can turn into a beautiful woman to seduce folk guys, suck its yang energy and essence blood for its cultivation into immortals, and so on. What is this? Isn't this feudal superstition? Have you ever seen a long worm that lives for a thousand years? I haven't seen it. Liao Mu grumbled and smiled bitterly.
"Big python? I think it's too illusory. But how big is it? I'm still a little interested. I heard Village Chief Wang say that this big guy can swallow a buffalo in one bite, I don't know if it's true or not?" Lang Mo's words aroused Liao Mu's curiosity even more.
However, at this time, Lang Mo remembered the old professor's words again, could it be that there was really something from the evil sect in this Fenghua Village, he just didn't tell Liao Mu.
