At this moment, the anger in the hearts of all the neighbors rushed out like a flood, and they gathered outside the gate of Zhang Laohan's courtyard and asked him to hand over his son.

Although he has become not like a human being, a ghost is not like a ghost, but after all, this is his own son, blood is thicker than water, where is Zhang Laohan willing to give up, coincidentally, at this time Zhang Laohan's son was already sick and unconscious, and he only had his last breath left, and when the two sides were arguing, he stopped breathing.

In fact, how Zhang Laohan's son died, there are several theories circulating in the village, in addition to saying that he died of his own illness, some people say that he was beaten to death by the villagers, and of course, some people say that it is the credit of Mr. Feng Shui.

This is not the end of the matter.

The feng shui master went so far as to ask the villagers to throw the body of Zhang's son into the Yellow River, saying that only in this way could the disaster be driven away.

Later, the city's epidemic prevention department invited several experts in infectious diseases to test the water used by the villagers.

Because of its proximity to the Yellow River, their village drinks water from underground water wells, and they believe that the groundwater must not have been polluted, so they always use submersible pumps to pump it out for drinking.

As a result, a special spirochrogen was found in the water they were drinking, which was supposed to be an ancient fungus, originally deep underground, which was the root cause of the villagers' diarrhea.

In fact, at this time, most of the villagers already knew that they had been deceived by Mr. Feng Shui, but they couldn't say anything about it! In particular, the matter of throwing corpses into the Yellow River has violated the law.

So the elderly village chief held a village congress, and everyone got the matter in their stomachs and signed it.

Hearing this, Hao Minyuan's face turned pale: "How can you do this?" ”

Yuan Datou smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Most of the wild people in the countryside are like this!" At that time, I thought that there was something wrong with the feng shui gentleman, and even that snake was raised by him...... But no one listened! ”

"It's already happening anyway – I don't think it's as simple as it seems."

Yuan Datou looked dazed: "You...... What do you mean? ”

Hao Minyuan said coldly: "I suspect that Zhang Laohan's son is not dead, or alive again!" ”

As soon as these words landed, I instantly understood what he meant, and my heart was suddenly shocked: "Brother Minyuan, you ...... Do you think the water monkey is his son? ”

According to the information we have so far, the water monkeys have a certain level of intelligence and do no harm to the villagers who fish normally in the river, but they tear to shreds those who use detonators or want to use detonators to blow up fish.

Then someone saw that about early in the morning, the water monkey climbed out of the wall of Zhang Laohan's house, when we visited Zhang Laohan before, when we mentioned the water monkey, his attitude suddenly came to a 180-degree turn, scolded us angrily, and drove out of the house.

And one more thing - fish!

Whether it is the Yellow River carp or the Yellow River barracuda, at present, even experienced fishermen are difficult to catch, but Zhang Laohan's family is not short of this thing.

It is very likely that his fish was brought by the water monkeys, which shows that the relationship between the two is extraordinary, combined with the things of Zhang Laohan's son...... The most reasonable explanation is that Zhang Laohan's son did not die at the beginning, and later mutated into the current water monkey......

"Yes!" Hao Minyuan nodded vigorously, "It is impossible for there to be one more creature in the world for no reason, and all the effects must have a cause." ”

In fact, when listening to Yuan Datou's narration, I also had this thought, but then I was rejected by myself.

"Brother Minyuan, if you assume like this, it doesn't make sense."

"Oh? You said! ”

"According to what the eldest brother told just now, Zhang Laohan's son has been dead for several years!"

Hao Minyuan and Yuan Datou nodded together.

I continued: "But the water monkey appeared a month ago, and it didn't exist before, how can this be explained? ”

Both were silent.

After about half a minute, Hao Minyuan slowly spoke: "Maybe it wasn't sick to this extent before—it's not so much a disease as a proper mutation...... Of course, all this is my analysis and judgment as a criminal policeman, and this is not necessarily the case. ”

Mutants?

The first thing that came to mind was the plot of the American movie Spider-Man, who seemed to be bitten by a spider in a laboratory and then mutated in his body to become omnipotent.

Don't...... Could it be that what happened within the year that the Bohai Pharmaceutical Factory took away Zhang Laohan's son, or what did the pharmaceutical factory do to his son?

Hao Minyuan asked with a blushing face: "Big head, Zhang Laohan's son is dead, and the body was thrown into the Yellow River, so he didn't react violently?" ”

Yuan Datou seemed to think for a moment before replying: "I cried and fainted several times at the beginning, and the people in the village felt that he was pitiful and sorry for him, so the neighbors who usually spoke well brought things to see him. ”

"And then!"

"About a week later! Uncle Zhang seems to have changed as a person, and I heard from a few people who went to visit him at his house that he was alone in the house laughing. ”

"Laughing yourself? Why! ”

Yuan Datou spread his hands and shook his shoulders: "Who knows this!" It is said that he saw it, after all, his son has become like that, and death is a relief for him, and he may not be sure. ”

I suddenly felt a flash of lightning pass through my brain: "Could it be because a week later, he found out that his son was not dead, or that he had died and risen again?" ”

Hao Minyuan sneered and patted me on the shoulder: "Brother is really the material to be a detective, just like I thought!" "Okay

The atmosphere suddenly became oppressive.

How could a normal person become like this! Even if it is the legendary "atavism", it will not become like this, and people with a little biological knowledge know that people belong to mammals, breathe with their lungs, and it is impossible to become aquatic animals in any case.

After a moment of silence, Hao Minyuan gritted his teeth: "That's it!" Regardless of whether the water monkey is Zhang Laohan's son or not, try to catch it first - as long as you catch it, it is estimated that things will fall into place.

"But...... But how should I catch it? ”

Hao Minyuan glanced at me with a very strange look: "If he is really Zhang Laohan's son, we can use Zhang Laohan's chess piece!" ”

"What do you mean?"

"The stupidest way is to wait for the rabbit!"

At noon, Xiao He and Yuan Datou's daughter-in-law made a table of dishes, although the two of them just met, they quickly became like good girlfriends, and they shouted to go back to the house last night, but before lunch today, they asked Hao Minyuan if they could stay for two more days.

I remembered what Yuan Datou said last night, and hurriedly asked him: "Brother Datou, what did you say last night, what did you say about the Yellow River Niangniang, and ...... also said that my sister-in-law will soon regain her beauty, what the hell is going on? ”

Yuan Datou's hand froze in mid-air, and a trace of nervousness obviously flashed on his face, but it was only a flash. He hurriedly picked up a chopstick dish and put it in his mouth, grinning at the corner of his mouth: "Brother, this is joking with your brother!" What Yellow River Niangniang, how do I not know? ”

"After drinking last night, you said it yourself!"

He smiled again: "That's what I said about drunken words - drunk words can't be taken seriously!" ”

When I think about it, too! Maybe he heard the old people in the village talk about the Yellow River Niangniang since he was a child, maybe after getting drunk, his brain awakened the memory of that year and said it casually!

Hao Minyuan made a brief report to Liu Liwei on the phone about today's discovery, and we continued to stay in the village that night, and Xiao He also stayed, not only that, Hao Minyuan also applied for the office to send five people to support, preparing to take turns at night outside the gate of Zhang Laohan's house to "wait for the rabbit", and then come to "catch turtles in the urn".

After lunch, we drank tea and discussed what to do in the evening.

A relatively well-thought-out plan gradually took shape......

In the afternoon, he first asked Yuan Datou to go to Zhang Laohan's house to probe the wind, and in less than ten minutes, he returned home in a gloomy manner, and then spread his hands:

"I can't help now!"

In the afternoon, we wandered around the village casually, and asked a few villagers about the entry and exit of water monkeys in Zhang Laohan's house, and only after asking did we know that almost the whole village knew about it, and several villagers had witnessed it with their own eyes, and listened to what the villagers said with names and surnames, which should be true and credible.

Hao Minyuan went to the supermarket at the entrance of the village to buy a box of cigarettes and lit one himself: "It seems that although it has mutated into a monster, it is quite filial!" I go home a lot! ”

Maybe I didn't sleep well last night, so I wanted to go back to make up for sleep, while Hao Minyuan and Xiao He wanted to go around Zhang Laohan's house and observe the environment.

Back at Yuan Datou's house, only his daughter-in-law was at home.

"Where's the big brother!" In order to avoid embarrassment, I took the initiative to say hello before entering the door.

"He went to ......"

As soon as she spoke, she stopped abruptly, rushed to me in two steps and pulled me into the house.

"Sister-in-law, you ...... What are you doing here! ”

I struggled a few times, but followed her into the house.

"Brother, you have to save your big brother!"

Pulling me into the house, Yuan Datou's daughter-in-law let go of her hand, and she was a little embarrassed.

"I ...... I save the big boss? Sister-in-law, what you said ......"

"Sister-in-law didn't joke with you, you big brother ......"

He was in the middle of his sentence when footsteps were heard outside, and he hurried to the kitchen.

As soon as I turned around, I saw Yuan Datou walking in with a smile with a two-hanging meat in his hand.

"Yo, brother, why are you back?"

He seemed surprised to see me standing in the door in a daze.

I hurriedly improvised: "Ao-I didn't sleep well last night, I want to come back to make up for sleep, didn't I just enter the door!" ”

"That's fine! Hurry up and go to sleep, see I bought mutton and pig ears, let's continue to drink at night! ”

I didn't know whether to nod yes or shake my head in refusal, so I had to smirk twice as an answer.

Lying on the bed, I pondered the words of Yuan Datou's daughter-in-law, this woman is in such a good figure...... If the disfigured face is the same as the other half of the face, it can be said that it is no worse than the popular female star...... What did she mean by that?

Let me save Yuan Datou?

Isn't it that Yuan Datou is in some danger—and it shouldn't be! Or if you have some incurable disease, there's no need to hide it! After thinking about it, I couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation.
