Chapter 7: Piranhas
I took out my mask and disposable gloves from my backpack, put them on, and went up to check them out.
"It looks like someone has stabbed a fist-sized hole with a sharp blade, this fish looks fierce and abnormal, it is estimated that it was made by the villagers in the fishing village, but why is it placed so strangely?"
Liu Chuang had already vomited out all the bitter water in his stomach at this time, I walked over and patted him on the back, and then handed him a mask, "It will be better to wear it." ”
He was vomited so much that tears came out, took the mask and put it on, and it took him a long time to recover, holding on to the trunk of the tree and saying: "This smell is so fishy, it's just polluting the air!" ”
I said to him, "The villagers have lived here for generations, and these fish are placed here, and they are so weird, there must be people who believe in evil arts, you say, will there be the person we are looking for behind this?" ”
A hint of excitement flashed in Liu Chuang's eyes, "You have to go in to know this, and today may not be a trip in vain." ”
The fishing village is not like a village as I thought, but it is just attached to the river and built houses, one in the east and one in the west, fragmented, which also brings us great difficulties in finding useful information.
Because of the remoteness of the fishing village, Liu Chuang and I spent three hours just coming here, and I took out my mobile phone to look at it.
There is no signal.
I glanced at Liu Chuang, and I said: "I don't understand the situation yet, I always feel that something is wrong here, I am not fully prepared to come this time, it is not appropriate to startle the snake, today I will briefly ask about the situation, if there is any major discovery, I will find someone to talk about it together." ”
Liu Chuangxian showed his biceps: "What can happen, if you find the murderer, just catch it directly." ”
I shook my head and stopped him: "No! This case is very evil, don't act rashly for the sake of safety, besides, the so-called poor mountains out of the people, if there is really something, there is no signal here, we are outnumbered. ”
Liu Chuang shrugged, "Okay, listen to you." ”
In order to save time, Liu Chuangbing and I split up, Liu Chuang went to investigate Shen Yaya's affairs, and I went to inquire about the strange scene by the river before.
I always had a gut feeling that this must have something to do with Kuman Thong.
About three hundred meters uphill where I found the dead fish, a fishing boat was moored on the shore and tied to a post on the shore with a rope.
The fishing boat was very large, and the clothes were drying on bamboo racks outside, and I shouted inside, "Is there anyone?" ”
There was silence in the mountains, and my voice faintly echoed in the empty mountains, which seemed like mine, but not like it.
I forcibly suppressed the uneasiness in my heart, and there was a sound of clattering footsteps on the fishing boat, very slowly, like the crisp sound of clogs stepping on bamboo, and an old voice sounded: "Yes." ”
After a while, a wrinkled old man appeared on the fishing boat, on tiger striped crutches, his eyes squinted into a slit because of the sun, his skin was dark, and he asked slowly, "What is the matter, young man?" ”
I walked forward, and felt a chill in the scorching sun, and I swallowed when I looked at the cabin behind me, which was hidden by the cloth, and did not dare to step forward.
I smiled and asked him, "Grandpa, I came here from out of town, but I accidentally got lost, and I walked along the river to get here, can you tell me how to get back to town?" ”
I don't know if it's my delusion, but for a moment I felt that the smile on the old man's face froze, and for a moment the old man's face was hidden in the shadows, and his left hand behind his back seemed to be hiding some secret.
But when I looked closer, the smile on my face was still bright and kind.
He pointed to where my car stopped: "From there there will be a small road, although the road is small, but fortunately there is no fork in the road, follow it all the way, and you can get to the town." ”
I always felt uneasy, but my multi-faceted experience made me calm and calm, "I just came down from that side, but I didn't find the road you said, but I saw another very strange scene." ”
"But a row of dead fish?"
"Yes!"
The old man touched his beard and coughed lightly, and asked urgently, "Do you have any stones on the head of the piranha?" ”
"Nope."
The old man breathed a sigh of relief: "What you see should be a piranha." ”
"Piranhas? How did it come out here. ”
"Well, this has to start from three months ago, there was a pregnant woman in the village who died, and then her family also went with her, and the family of five died, and then it didn't take long for someone in the village to die in the family, and then someone died in the river, and the corpse attracted this piranha. Originally, we lived by the river, because of this piranha, the small fish and shrimp in the river all died overnight, and the piranha flooded in the river, and finally forced us to live, I have always been at odds with the people in the village, but I was a Taoist when I was young, so the people in the village came to invite me out of the mountain. ”
"You saw that the three stones on the head of the fish were used to suppress the piranha, and the piranha had to be exposed to the sun for fifteen days to completely exterminate the piranha, but fortunately you didn't do anything stupid just now."
Me: "......"
Judging from the old man's words, he is a Taoist, so how much do you know about Gu Man Tong?
But there is no mention of this in his words, is it intentional to avoid it or does he really not know anything?
Moreover, the piranha here is after Shen Yaya died, and this piranha is estimated to be the butterfly effect brought by Gu Man Tong.
Now that I have figured it out, I should not continue to ask, and I was going to say goodbye, but the old man sent me an invitation: "Now that the sun is shining, would you like to get on the boat and have a cup of tea?" ”
My face changed slightly, looking at the ravines in the corners of the old man's eyes, I was afraid of startling the snake, and politely refused: "No need, since you know the way, go back quickly, so as not to get dark by then." ”

Liu Chuang's luck was obviously worse than mine, I went back to the agreed car and waited for about an hour, and Liu Chuang appeared in front of me with a sweaty face.
"What's the situation?"
Liu Chuang sat in the car, turned on the air conditioner, and then took the water and drank most of the bottle, "After the death of Shen Yaya's family, many people died in the village one after another, and later the corpses piled up, attracting piranhas. He pointed to the other side of the river, "That's what we saw when we came." ”
I nodded, not much to do with what I had asked the old man about, "Did you find any suspicious people?" ”
"Nope."
I recalled the scene when I was talking to the old man at the beginning, and my face was very bad: "I met a suspicious person, a Taoist, he probably has a lot to do with Kuman Tong, and when the mobile phone signal is available, he will send a message to the team and ask them to come here to arrest people." ”
Liu Chuang nodded, and at this time, the sweat had already dried, so we turned around and drove back.
Back in the bureau, Wang Ke took the report of the laboratory department and put it on my desk, "There is nothing new to discover," she comforted me: "Time is too far away, so there is very little useful information that can be obtained, and it is normal not to find it." ”
I didn't find out what I expected, but I refused to let go of any clues that might have been missed before the autopsy was performed again.
I smiled and said, "I know that there may be new discoveries in the investigation of Shen Yaya's case this time, and when the time comes, there should be a breakthrough when the team brings people back for questioning." ”
Wang Ke blinked her dark eyes, bright, "Really? ”
"Hmm."
Time is of the essence and every second counts.
Next, I looked at the files of the other two cases borrowed from Liu Chuang, all of them were unsolved cases, Qiu Mingyan's husband also died, and a seven-year-old daughter was left who now lives with her grandparents.
But most of the questions are not answered.
The only question answered was, "Do you know anyone who doesn't want your mom to give birth to this baby?" ”
Ink fell on the pale yellow paper, and she replied: "Mom has always wanted to have a son, and she doesn't like me at all." ”
I'm afraid this is the reason why Qiu Mingyan is so old and still wants to get pregnant, right?
Will the little girl know where her mother went to ask for a child?
