"Ahh What's the task? A few quick answers flashed through my head. Could it be that someone is drowning? Could it be that a ship capsized? Or is there something that needs to be salvaged?

"A few fishing nets were caught by something at the bottom of the river, and when the fishermen went into the water to untie the nets, they found something strange."

"Dead bodies?"

"It's not! It was a rusty bronze statue, half of which was not in the mud, and they knew that this thing might be a cultural relic, so they notified the relevant departments, and finally it became our task. ”

"What bronze statue? Do you have two heads and six eyes? ”

"What a mess! Where do I know what it is, I know that it is very large, and I can't get a few fishing forces. ”

Big? It seems that it is different from the one caught in Niutou Village, which is made of stone, at most eighty or ninety catties, and if it is in the water, a good water can get it on the boat.

After deducting the phone, I breathed a sigh of relief, I am not afraid of fishing for bronze statues, I also learned a text "Fishing Iron Ox" in elementary school, ancient superstition, in the event of natural disasters or major social changes, sometimes to the river to throw a statue of the gods, in order to sacrifice the river.

Wu Jinghan had already woken up, rubbing her eyes and looking at me.

"Something happened?"

I held her tightly in my arms and whispered in her ear like a story, telling the content of the phone call with Yao Liguo just now.

After speaking, Wu Jinghan's eyes were a little blurry, her cheeks were red, and her breathing became short, and she pushed me away with an "oops": "Don't do this...... I didn't bring any clothes with me. ”

While getting dressed, the two chatted about the bronze statue.

"Bronze is also regarded as the crystallization of the great wisdom of the ancient working people in our country, so far, the largest bronze found in our country is Simu Wuding, which is cast by Shang King Zu Geng for the sacrifice of his mother, 133 centimeters high, weighing more than 2,000 catties......"

I knew that Wu Jinghan's occupational disease had committed it again, so I hurriedly interrupted her: "Okay, Mr. Wu, although my academic performance was not as good as yours when I was in school, I also studied history. ”

She smiled embarrassedly: "When will it be salvaged?" I'm going to see the excitement too! ”

Who knew that before I could answer, the phone rang again, I thought it was Yao Liguo, but when I picked up the phone, it turned out to be Liu Liwei.

Solving the case has nothing to do with me! Did you find me for the pharmaceutical factory and the museum, or for my father's news?

Hurry up and get through.

"Hey, Xiao Liu! Something strange happened, and a few more people died, and they also suffocated to death on their knees. ”

"What?" I was so shocked that I almost threw my phone away, "Who died this time?" ”

"Several colleagues from the police station in the western suburbs died in the duty room of their station."

My scalp was tingling.

"Viagra, do you want me to come over?"

"It's not! You can't help it. I want to tell you that last night we had a meeting until midnight, and we carefully examined several corpses, and found that Old Man Cheng and those southerners had their fingers cut, and Xi Li suspected that it had something to do with their deaths! ”

Cutting fingers has something to do with death? I didn't understand it all at once.

Liu Liwei continued to explain: "The possibility of killing him has been ruled out, and the person is definitely not a normal person to die, so it may be caused by some kind of powerful virus infection, such as the rabies virus that we all know, once the human body is infected, the attack will become manic, the eyes will be bloodshot, and it will bite like a mad dog - of course, the incubation period of rabies is very long, and there are examples of 20 years before the attack occurs in China." ”

After pondering for a while, it dawned on me: "Viagra, do you mean that they may have contracted some kind of virus because their hands were cut?" ”

"That's right! It's just that this virus is many times more powerful than rabies, and the onset is very short. ”

"But viagra...... Old man Cheng and several southerners have never been in contact, how can they be infected with the same virus? ”

"Bronze! The virus probably came from a bronze salvaged in the Yellow River! ”

These words shocked my scalp as if it were electrocuted, and my heart beat wildly.

"Bronze? What kind of virus can there be on the bronzes, there were many people who touched the bronzes at that time, and I also touched them, why are there only a few of them......"

Before I finished speaking, I was interrupted by Liu Liwei:

"Ordinary people, such as you and those villagers who pick up bronzes by the river, only regard bronzes as valuable things, but don't really understand their value, so you will only keep them carefully, and not play with them, but they are different, they know that these are ancient bronzes from the pre-Qin period, and they can't help but play with them over and over again when no one is around, and you also know that those bronzes are rusty, and some rusty bumps are sharp and hard, and they will cut your hands if you don't pay attention to them."

I see!

"But...... But what happened to a few colleagues from the police station in the jurisdiction? ”

Liu Liwei paused for a moment before he said slowly: "What I said just now was just a hypothesis last night, but this morning, when Xi Li saw the bodies of those colleagues, it was finally determined, because they also had scratches on their hands, and Xi Li checked it, and it was the bronze scratches." ”

I was a little puzzled: "They touched those bronzes last night, too?" Why! ”

Liu Liwei on the other side of the phone snorted coldly: "When the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and it is often a few grains of mouse feces that spoil a good pot of soup." ”

I understand what Liu Liwei means in seconds.

"Okay, I still have to quickly call the village party secretary of Hewang Village and several nearby villages, babble in the loudspeaker, if there is still that kind of bronze at home, don't touch it again." He paused for a moment, then continued, "I know you also have a job to salvage the bronze statue, so hurry up!" ”

Hanging up Liu Liwei's phone, I only felt scared for a while, so I hurriedly called Han Jianjian.

"Where's your boy?"

"Brother Dong! In the car, you'll be there in a few minutes. ”

"You're not feeling sick, are you?"

"Me? I'm fine! Why do you ask? ”

I scolded him and reprimanded: "Don't be greedy for cheap in the future!" If you see a bronze on the side of the Yellow River, don't pick it up, otherwise you'll ...... Otherwise, Director Liu will detain you and even sentence you. ”

When the truth came to my mouth, I swallowed it back, Han Jianjian was timid, so he didn't scare him, so he changed the conversation and casually made up a reason.

"Oh! That...... Well, I don't do it again! Nope! ”

When he and Wu Jinghan went out, they saw dozens of people surrounding the Yellow River stall from a distance, and there were two boats parked in the river.

Yao Liguo, Tian Zhen, Yu Jin, and Han Jianli then also went to the river beach, and there was already a fishing boat waiting to pull us on the riverside, and several people carried the salvage equipment on the boat, and it was not until half past two in the afternoon that the bronze statue in the river was fished up.

Looking at the one-person-tall bronze statue, everyone was amazed.

Its upper body is a human body, but the lower half of its body is a snake body, and its appearance is also very strange, with attractive ears, a nose facing the sky, a mouth almost split to both ears, and a pair of eyes that are so big that they look very discordant.

It's an alien!
