At this point, the fat man stopped, he reached out and trembled and felt out half a box of cigarettes, smoked several times before he took out one, shoved it into his mouth, trembled and lit the fire, and then took a sharp puff.

It was obvious that until today, until this moment, the fear in the fat man's heart had not been eliminated, and he took a deep breath before continuing.

At that time, he was standing behind Master Lao Hu, and when Lao Hu picked up the woman's clothes with chopsticks, his vision was first blurred with flesh and blood, and then he saw a bloody hole bigger than an adult's fist, and a intestine drooped outside, and the scene was so terrifying that it was impossible to describe in words.

The fat man leaned on the master, and when he looked closely, he found that the woman's stomach was empty, and her heart and other organs were all hollowed out.

Lao Hu took a deep breath, then stood up abruptly and examined the other three corpses separately, and the results were all the same, there was a bloody skeleton on his stomach, and all his internal organs such as his heart had disappeared.

Such a brutal homicide, even the fat man's master who has been a criminal police officer for more than ten years is the first time he has seen it.

The case alarmed the higher-ups, and the city directly sent a special task force, and also invited two forensic experts from the province.

Lao Hu's final conclusion was that the deceased was poked into the stomach by something, and then took out his organs and died of pain. However, they could not tell what kind of animal the footprints left in the house were.

Judging by the size of the footprints, this thing is not small, and it is most likely to be a primate, and it is very strange that there is something similar to frog webbing on the toes, which also leads to a disagreement between the two experts who came together.

One expert concluded that the animal must have lived in the water, at least as well as a duck.

Another expert thinks that it is impossible, because the body characteristics of aquatic animals and aquatic birds in the current world are very different from those of primates, and it is impossible to break people's stomachs under the conditions of violent resistance.

Both sides have a point.

On the other hand, the task force is also continuing its investigation.

They visited the villagers and learned something that may have something to do with the strange bloody footprints that had appeared in the deceased's home.

A month ago, the family, surnamed Meng, caught a strange animal in the Yellow River, resembling a small monkey, covered in pitch black, with limbs and a tail, but without hair, instead with scales larger than an adult's fingernails.

Lao Meng tied the neck of the "little monkey" with a rope and dragged him back to the village, and when he saw the neighbors, he did not forget to show off, saying that he had caught it with a net in the river, which attracted many visitors, all saying that they had never seen this creature, and some even shouted that they were willing to pay 200 yuan to buy it.

Laughter, admiration and discussion came and went, all discussing what the old Meng family caught.

There was an old fisherman in Shuanghe Village, who happened to come out for a walk that day, and also acted as a spectator, he squeezed into the crowd, only glanced at it, and suddenly there was an exclamation, asking Lao Meng to quickly put this thing back, where else to catch it, and where to put it back.

Lao Meng was very disapproving, saying that people were looking red, pure envy and jealousy.

Most of the other people also coaxed, saying some sarcastic things that were not salty or light, and the old man had to sigh and leave, and when he left, he left a sentence, but after the accident, it was already a month later, and no one remembered the original words of the old man and the old man that day.

Lao Meng tied the "little monkey" to his home, and in order to prevent it from escaping, he also tied an iron ingot to the other end of the rope, and fed him some water and food every day.

Lao Zhou's youngest son is very stubborn, and treats the little monkey as a play' thing, either dragging around as a "duck", or riding under him as a horse, but in three or four days, the little monkey has been playing.

Anyway, it was from fishing, and Lao Meng and his family didn't feel distressed, so they threw them into the garbage pit behind the house. When Lao Meng's daughter-in-law took out the garbage again the next day, she also noticed that the body of the "little monkey" was gone.

As soon as the daughter-in-law came home and said it, Lao Zhou didn't take it seriously, thinking that he should have been dragged away by wild cats and dogs.

A few days later, there was a heavy rain in the area, and after the rain stopped, Lao Meng found two rows of strange footprints in front of his house, of course, these were what Lao Meng's daughter-in-law told the neighbors when chatting later.

When the task force visited, many people had seen the "little monkey" of Lao Meng's family, but none of them had seen the mysterious footprints after the rain.

Thinking that this was a clue, the people of the task force came to the village committee and asked the village branch secretary to help persuade Lao Meng to send the "little monkey" back to the old man before he came. I don't remember what the old man's surname was, but the old man's appearance was still vaguely in my mind.

As soon as the old man heard that they were here for the affairs of the old Meng family, before he opened his mouth, he sighed three times in succession, saying that he had long expected this result, because their family had provoked something they should not provoke and could not afford to provoke - the "Yellow River Water Ghost".

As soon as they heard the words "Yellow River Water Ghost", the task force suddenly became interested and asked the old man what it was. The old man couldn't say clearly, only said that it was a kind of son of the river god, this thing was hidden in the deep water of the Yellow River, and he had a strong sense of revenge, once provoked, he couldn't get rid of it, and he also told the task force that the Yellow River water ghost liked to pull children into the water, and then drag them into the deep water, take out the internal organs and eat them.

Indeed, there have been several cases of children having their organs removed in this area, which have not been solved so far.

Then the task force asked the master of the Yellow River Aquarium, and also said that there was an unusually ferocious beast in the deep water of the Yellow River in this area before, and they called it the water monkey, but in the past ten years, no one has heard of anyone discovering it, as for what the water monkey is, they have not come to a clear conclusion, and think that it is likely to be a ferocious amphibian such as an otter, or an invasive species.

The more the case is investigated, the more bizarre it becomes, but after all, it is a case of four people who have to give an explanation to the society anyway, so after some discussion, it was decided to transfer more than a dozen water police, and find more than a dozen old fishermen, a total of more than 30 people, these people first tore open the big net and pulled it in one direction, and finally used the power grid, and the result was really caught an aquatic creature that looks like a monkey.

It is about the same size as a five- or six-year-old child, black, with long arms, and facial features similar to that of a monkey, but it is covered with scales, and the key is that there are webbed toes.

The case was finally solved, although the result was unbelievable to many.

As for what to do with the water monkey that was caught in the end, it is not something that a little criminal policeman like the fat man can know.

In the process of capturing the water monkey, the fat man was not present, but his master Lao Hu witnessed the whole process, and also saw the water monkey caught by the power grid, and the appearance of the water monkey was also what he told the fat man.
