Chapter 37: The Soul of the Reservoir (1)
Ding Wen was very sluggish all the way, and when he got off the bus, he looked like a frosted eggplant. Zheng Qian scolded him, and he didn't react at all, which is too abnormal.
Zheng Qian pulled Mai Dong: "What's the matter with him, he looks like he has nothing to love." β
Mai Dong flipped out his phone and found the message: "Look at it yourself." β
Zheng Qian took it and glanced at ten lines: "As for it, how normal this is, a man and a woman." There is also this car, this girl has a good eye, a high-quality man, not bad. Zheng Qian also commented after reading it.
Ding Wen looked at her sadly from behind: "This must be an entertainment reporter's scribble, Wen Na also said in an interview two days ago that she was single." β
"Big brother, do you want to be so naΓ―ve?" Zheng Qian rolled her eyes directly: "There are a few words in the celebrity interview that are true. You don't have the illusion of a boyfriend fan, such a girl, even if she is not in love now, she will not find you as a boyfriend in the future. Don't you always boast that you have true love for her, true love is just to see her happy and be very happy......" Zheng Qian was still talking, and Yang Lei tugged at the corner of her clothes: "Don't say it, Brother Wen is going to cry." β
Mai Dong looked at it, and it was true, Ding Wen had four big words written on his face: 'I want to cry'.
Zheng Qian closed her mouth, and Du Heng got out of the car: "Why are you standing on the side of the road, go in." β
The countryside scenery is excellent, there is still a thin mist under the mountain peaks in the distance, take a deep breath, and then exhale, feel all the turbidity in the chest cavity is emptied, only full of freshness. The small courtyard of the farmhouse, a three-story building, with a huge glass shroud on the top, Mai Dong took a look: "You can also watch the stars at night here." β
"Then stay here for one night tonight before leaving?" Du Heng asked her.
"The weather is not good today, you see there are still dark clouds over there, maybe it will rain in the evening. I guess there are no stars to look at tonight, and I don't have a change of clothes, so I'd better go back in the afternoon. Mai Dong whispered back to him.
Du Heng nodded, because it was booked, the room had already been cleaned up, and it was not like the white sheets in the hotel, just the flowers and flowers used by ordinary families, a few people put down their things, and when they came downstairs, Wang Yue had already turned around and came back.
"This is good, there is a place behind him that specializes in raising sheep and cattle, it's really not the right time to come, and then you can try to roast the whole sheep if it's colder, and you can roast it now, and the taste is comfortable to think about." Wang Yue squinted his eyes as he spoke.
The owner of the farmhouse happened to come in: "If you want to eat now, you can also grab it and bake it." β
"Or don't say goodbye, I just ate barbecue yesterday, I ate roast sheep today, my face can't stand it, I will definitely have acne tomorrow, I still eat some farm vegetables today, and next time I will roast the whole sheep." Zheng Qian covered her face and refused to be delicious.
Mai Dong licked his mouth with some regret, and when he found Du Heng's gaze, he quickly lowered his head.
"The local chicken soup is boiled on a low fire in the morning, and there are mushrooms that I picked up in the forest to stew together, my wife said that you people in the city don't like to eat greasy, and carefully skimmed the oil on it, and now the soup is clear and fragrant. "The boss said the signature dish, very proud.
A few people got up early and drove for more than three hours, and now their stomachs are growling, and when they hear the deliciousness, where can they bear it, and directly let go of the meal.
The biggest feature of the farmhouse is that the portions are generous. All the dishes were served in pots, and the boss and his wife walked in with the dishes: "Farmhouse fried pork, cured pork ribs, fried vegetables, fried tofu, and mushroom chicken soup." Several dishes were full of color and aroma, Mai Dong tasted a bite of fried meat, his eyes suddenly lit up, and even Ding Wen turned his grief into appetite and began to feast. This person who said that he was out of love and couldn't eat became the most powerful one at the dinner table.
Looking at the large amount of food, when several people had a great appetite, all of them turned into CDs, and finally they all held their stomachs and moaned at the table: "I am too full!" Zheng Qian lamented: "I feel that the meal is stuck in my throat and can't go down at all." β
"Then you're embarrassed to snatch my last rib, the last one!" Ding Wen was angry when he said it, he was already very sad, and he couldn't eat the last rib.
"I'm too slow to start, don't thank me. Zheng Qian was triumphant.
"No, it's too uncomfortable to sit like this, let's go for a walk. Mai Dong proposed.
"When you're done eating, do you want to go to the vineyard to pick grapes?" the boss walked in and cleaned up the table.
"If you don't go, I'll go later, I won't be able to eat at this time. Ding Wen refused, and then said: "Didn't you say that there is a reservoir here, let's go fishing?"
"Do you know how to fish?" Yang Lei expressed disbelief, how could such a static sport be suitable for him?
"Of course...... It's just fun, it's luck to be able to catch it, and it's okay if you can't catch it. Ding Wen didn't care.
"But the reservoir is not from our farmhouse, it is from the village, and you need to pay another fee to buy fish. "The owner made it clear in advance.
"Whether you can catch a fish or not, it's another matter, if there is a fish, we can just give money, is there a spreader here?" asked Wang Yue.
"Yes, yes, I'll get it for you. β
The boss quickly brought a few pairs of fishing tackle and bait and bait and lure, and several people went to the reservoir with small stools. Ding Ning and Zheng Qian couldn't stay idle, they didn't like this kind of activity, and they found a few small stones to compete to see who threw more water patterns.
Du Heng and Wang Yue picked up the fishing rod and started fishing, Yang Lei lay on the weeds by the river, playing games happily, Mai Dong didn't like fishing, and he didn't want to move, so he took the book and began to endorse.
Ding Wen and Zheng Qian didn't know how to pinch up again, Zheng Qian angrily threw a bowl of big stones by the river into the river, and the water splashed, not only shocked Mai Dong to read the book, but even the fish that Wang Yue was about to take the bait escaped without a trace, Wang Yue was angry: "What are you two making trouble, the fish are scared away?"
"Who made him cheap!" Zheng Qian muttered quietly.
"It's not been a day or two that he has a cheap mouth, if you want to be really angry, what's the use of throwing him into the water and throwing a stone down?" Wang Yue said urgently.
"You're right, Ding Wen, you little, see if I don't push you in to feed the fish today. Zheng Qian said that she was about to get started.
Ding Wen hurriedly dodged, Zheng Qian, this woman is crazy, her strength is greater than that of a man, and she will really be pushed down by her for a while, and she will not die of cold, and if she is defeated by a woman, it will be really embarrassing and thrown home.
While hiding and looking around, he suddenly stopped, and Zheng Qian caught up: "Boy, I've caught you." β
Ding Wen waved his hand: "Don't make trouble, do you see if there is something there?"
Zheng Qian thought he was diverting the topic and wanted to push him, Ding Wen waved his hand and pushed her aside: "Look there, is there a big pocket?"
Zheng Qian looked at his hand, and a huge pocket floated in the lake, and there were faint traces of blood around it.
Wang Yue pushed his glasses: "Forget it, I don't care so much." He took off his coat and jumped into the water, wanting to pull the pocket, Ding Wen was worried that he couldn't drag it alone, so he jumped down, and the two of them pulled the bag to the shore together, soaked in the cold water in the river, and the cold wind blew, and the two shivered from the cold.
"You go back first, take a hot shower, and then come back. Mai Dong handed the clothes to the two of them, and Du Heng had already opened his pocket, and sure enough, there was a dead corpse inside.
This place is already the most remote suburb of S City, and Du Heng and the others didn't bring any tools, so Mai Dong called the police. Du Heng put a plastic bag on his hand and began to briefly examine the corpse: "There are basically no corpse spots, it seems that the body was dumped in the reservoir within an hour after death." Looking at Mai Dong's puzzled eyes, Du Heng explained: "It is generally difficult for corpses to form corpse spots in water, and corpse spots will not form within an hour. There are no obvious scars on the surface of the corpse, there are obvious bleeding spots in the eyelids, the fingernails are blue and purple, this nail obviously has broken marks, and there are obvious bruises on the neck......" Du Heng looked at it carefully: "There are staggered lines formed on the back of the neck, and it should be strangled to death if nothing else." β
After months of exercise, Mai Dong no longer wants to vomit when faced with these scenes: "I don't know how long I've been soaking in the water, and my skin has all swelled." β
"It should be more than half a month, you look at the skirt she is wearing, there was a period of high temperature in S City half a month ago, and it has been raining for the past few days, and the weather has become cold. Du Heng replied.
"Half a month? shouldn't it, the last time I heard Wang Yue say that the corpse floated up was about three or four days after the corpse was thrown. How can no one find out for half a month?"
Du Heng looked at the pocket, and there was a small piece of rope on the pocket: "Look here, there should be a heavy object at the lower end of this rope, and the corpse has not surfaced for a long time when it was thrown into the water." The fracture here should have been accidentally hit by the stone that Zheng Qian threw down just now, and the bag floated up after the rope broke. Du Heng pointed to the hemp rope with a thick thumb next to him.
"It's so weird, it looks like I've put on makeup. Zheng Qian said: "You see that the hair is tied very delicately, there are residual lipstick marks on the lips, and there is a little color left by the eyebrow pencil on the eyebrows. β
"This is really strange, could it be that there are still people who specialize in killing people and carefully put on makeup?"
"The corpse also had rings, earrings, and necklaces, which were very complete, indicating that the murderer was not for money...... It's not like a vendetta to be so solemn, so what is the murderous intent?" Yang Lei looked at the things on the corpse: "Do you want Team Du to go around first to learn about the source of the corpse?"
"This is not our case, I'll just take a look, and I'll talk about the specific investigation when the local police station comes." Du Heng didn't want to add extra work to himself.
"I can also run into a case after a good vacation, and I began to wonder if I was possessed by Conan. Zheng Qian thought in pieces.
"There is only one truth!" Mai Dong took her words.
"What are you guys doing, this is a fish pond in the village, and no one outside is allowed to fish. In the distance came an old man with a hoe, and before he could get closer, he began to shout.
When he got closer, Zheng Qian said: "Uncle, we are from the farmhouse over there, and we didn't catch any fish, do you know this girl?"
"Sacrifice...... The sacrificial ...... "The old man seems to have seen some demons and monsters, and the gods are running fast.
"What's going on?" Zheng Qian looked at Yang Lei blankly.
Yang Lei shook his head.
"Did Team Du find anything?" Wang Yue came in a hurry, his profession dictated, he was very interested in these.
"It should have been strangled. I didn't look closely, I had already called the police station. Du Heng replied.
"Then I'll take a look at the ...... while they haven't come yet" Wang Yue excitedly began to look at the corpse, Du Heng just didn't move the corpse in order to keep the scene alive, Wang Yue came and turned the corpse over and pulled the zipper behind him: "What is this?"
A yellow corner looms from the back of the corpse, revealing dark lines of rune paper.
Several people glanced at each other, feeling that the wind blowing was cool and cool.
