"Actually, it doesn't hurt to tell the two brothers, the deceased is the son of the owner of a food stall in the city, and he should have been fishing on the Yellow River last night, but he was killed, and his body was divided, and he died a miserable death!"

"You don't suspect that the water monkeys did it, do you?" Wu Laosan glared at Hao Minyuan angrily, "The water monkey is the god in the river, and it was sent by the old man to protect us, how can it harm people?" ”

Hao Minyuan hurriedly smiled and explained: "That's not it...... Aren't we going around looking for clues? ”

"I see! Then I'll give you a clue, maybe it's useful. Wu Laosan smiled mysteriously, and his voice was very low, "Actually, this is not the first time that a corpse has been broken - since last month, as far as I know, it has happened several times!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Li, who was standing beside me, immediately retorted: "This is impossible! ”

Wu Laosan smiled bitterly and waved his hand: "Look at you young man, you look very steady, why are you so anxious!" ”

Maybe when he heard this, Hao Minyuan was also quite surprised: "Brother make it clear, what the hell is going on!"

Wu Laosan nodded: "I'm not talking about people!" It was two cows and three sheep, who were dragged away by something, and died in the river, and their bodies were still broken, and they all said...... It is said that there may be crocodiles! ”

I almost couldn't hold back my laughter.

It's terrible to be uneducated!

How can there be crocodiles in the Yellow River! Most crocodiles live in swampy lakes in the south, and some rivers and rivers, but no one has ever heard of a crocodile being seen in the Yellow River.

Besides, crocodiles live by the river and do not run to the village.

Hao Minyuan took a deep breath and exhaled slowly: "Why don't we know about this!" ”

The old man just now snorted coldly: "It's just that a few livestock have died, who is on the stall, so they have to admit their bad luck, what's the use of calling the police?" In the end, it's not over. ”

"Yes! A few cows, a few sheep, and it's not a criminal case, so it's really hard for us to intervene. ”

Wu Laosan sighed repeatedly.

"There are strange things every year, but this year is more! They said that there was a great drought in the first half of the year, and autumn was about to begin, and it rained heavily, and then the Yellow River flooded, and strange things happened in the river one after another! ”

The old man on the other side gave him a blank look: "Third child, don't tell other police officers about the mess, people are busy!" How can you such idleness. ”

Hao Minyuan hurriedly waved his hand: "It's not!" In order to find clues and solve the case, we can't let go of any clues, especially about the Yellow River, and we won't hide it from you, we suspect that this case was not done by people! ”

The two old men exclaimed almost simultaneously: "Not human? That...... What's that, could it be a ghost! ”

"If we know what it is, we won't have to go through so much effort to find out!"

Wu Laosan nodded slightly, wiping the saliva on the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, as if he was interested.

"It seems like it was only last month! There have been strange fish, strange snakes in the area of Hewang Village, and some strange ancient bronzes have rushed up in the river, I heard that it is evil! ”

Hao Minyuan hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop Wu Laosan's narration.

"Brother, we all know these things, just tell me what strange things have happened in our area!"

Wu Laosan nodded, and grinned: "It's not a lot!" In the past month, we've caught a lot of weird things in our fishing! ”

"What's weird?" I couldn't help but interject.

"That's a lot! There was a snake with a human head, a turtle with two heads, and a toad with three legs......"

"Ahh This...... How is this possible! Maybe he couldn't hold back again, Xiao Li interjected again.

"Huh? Don't believe it! It just so happened that Chen Dali caught a human head snake last night, which he said himself during the meal just now. ”

"You said just now?"

Wu Laosan nodded: "That's right!" Before you came, he had just eaten and returned home. ”

"That'...... What about the strange snake? Hao Minyuan hurriedly asked.

"I heard...... I heard that the buyer has been contacted, and I just answered a phone call, and it seems that the buyer is already waiting at his house, this point is ......"

Without waiting for Wu Laosan to finish speaking, Hao Minyuan stood up with a "pout": "Where does Chen Heli's family live?" ”

Wu Laosan was stunned for a moment and pointed to the other side of the dam: "He is not in the village, but lives under the dam, with a single door, standing on the dam you can see his yard, the earthy yellow gate, and there is a big tree outside the courtyard gate." ”

As soon as Wu Laosan's words landed, Hao Minyuan thanked him and called us to hurry up and take a look.

A few people ran to the dam in one breath, looked at the opposite side, and sure enough, they saw the yard that Wu Laosan said, there was a big tree outside the gate, and a pickup truck was parked under the tree.

"We need to hurry!"

It was another trot, and he ran outside Chen Dali's gate in about five minutes.

I saw several people coming out of the house, all with smiles on their faces, one of them bald with a small bucket of saliva in his hand, and at the back was an old man with a dry tobacco pouch in his mouth, with a little hunched back and a triangular scar on the corner of his left eye, which looked ugly and scary.

Hao Minyuan looked around: "Who is Chen Dali?" ”

The ugly old man glanced at him and nodded slightly with a blank expression.

"I ...... I am! What are you looking for me? "Yoyo Book League

Hao Minyuan was stunned, and took out his criminal police card: "Hello, I am Hao Minyuan from the Criminal Police Brigade of the District Police Station, and I want to learn something." ”

As soon as he heard that it was a criminal policeman, Chen Dali suddenly panicked, his mouth opened slightly, but he didn't say anything.

Several other people wanted to get out of the hospital, but they were stopped by Hao Minyuan.

"A few of you have to cooperate!"

Several people glanced at each other and nodded one after another, their faces difficult to hide their panic.

"I heard you caught a strange snake last night?" Hao Minyuan asked directly.

"Oh! Right! Right! Be...... I caught it in the river with a net, is it not illegal? ”

Hao Minyuan nodded: "Brother, don't be nervous, I didn't say anything about breaking the law, I just want to know a little bit about the situation - you must have heard about last night's corpse shredding case, and a few of us are here for this case." ”

Chen Dali nodded slightly again, and said with a trembling face: "When I was eating just now, I heard Wu Laosan say it...... You don't suspect me of doing it, do you? ”

"Not really!" Hao Minyuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I just want to see the snake you caught!" ”

"Snakes? I...... I've already bought it! ”

With that, he looked at the bucket in the bald man's hand.

The bald head subconsciously hid the bucket in his hand behind him: "The water snake is not a protected animal!" This ...... It's just a little weird. ”

"Don't get me wrong! Just take a look, take a few photos, and say that we are criminal police, even if it is a national protected animal, it is not under our control. Hao Minyuan said and walked in front of the bald head.

The bald man nodded, watched as he reluctantly lowered the bucket to the ground and unscrewed the lid of the bucket with small holes in it.

"We belong to a folk circus, and I didn't hear that someone had caught a strange creature from the Yellow River and came to buy ......it as soon as possible," the bald head explained with a little nervousness.

Curious, I walked over, put my face to the mouth of the bucket, and looked inside.

I saw a cyan snake, about a meter long, and the head of the snake was extraordinarily large, and it really resembled a human head, and I couldn't help but shudder when I saw it.

What kind of snake is this, and what is the shape of the head...... Is it a deformity?

"Brother, how did you catch this snake?" After Hao Minyuan glanced at it a few times, he looked away and looked at Chen Dali again.

"Caught in the cage!"

"Caught before?"

Chen Dali shook his head: "I heard that others have caught such a snake before—I have caught a three-headed turtle, and I ...... Also sold to them. He pointed at the bald heads.

Hao Minyuan pondered for a moment, and smiled at Chen Dali and the bald head: "Excuse me, okay!" ”

After speaking, he turned around and walked outside the courtyard gate.

It is estimated that Xiao Li and they are the same as me, but I didn't expect their captain Hao to come in such a hurry, only to look at them a few times, ask a few words and leave.

Returning to the dam again, Xiao Li finally couldn't hold it back: "Brother Hao, what did you think about that one just now?" ”

Hao Minyuan smiled slightly: "I just want to confirm whether what Wu Laosan said is reliable." ”

Xiao Li thought for a moment, but still shook his head: "What's the point of proving it?" ”

"It can help us determine whether the incident he saw the water monkey is true or false, or how real it is."

Xiao Li nodded as if he didn't understand: "Then what's the conclusion now?" ”

"The conclusion is that Wu Laosan has indeed seen that strange creature, as for whether it is a water monkey, this cannot be determined for the time being - the key is that it is not known whether there are water monkeys in the world yet!"

After that, he visited the embankment of the Yellow River for two or three hours, and asked more than a dozen people, most of whom knew that there had been a water monkey in the Yellow River in this area recently, and of course they had heard some other information.

In the past month or so, not only have many people caught strange creatures in the Yellow River, but many people have claimed to have heard the cry of a woman in the river, all in the middle of the night.

It made me feel even more confusing.

After discussing for half an hour, the two decided to hold an emergency case analysis meeting overnight, and also called a biological expert to send Xiao Li to pick him up and attend the evening meeting together.

I didn't want to participate, but I was pulled by Liu Liwei and Hao Minyuan and asked me to participate.

Dinner was eaten in the cafeteria, Hao Minyuan chewed the rice in his mouth, but his eyes stared at the food in front of him in a daze, obviously distracted.

"Brother Minyuan, you're still thinking about today!"

Hao Minyuan came back to his senses and smiled: "I just think it's strange - you say that there is such a strange thing as a water monkey in the world?" ”

I took a bite of food and put it in my mouth: "The world is full of wonders!" Not to mention the ancient and mysterious Yellow River! ”

"Makes sense!" Hao Minyuan nodded in a trance.

At eight o'clock in the evening, more than a dozen people gathered in the conference room, including Liu Liwei and Hao Minyuan, as well as several people from the forensic department led by Liu Xili, and several other deputy captains, most of whom had a cigarette in their hands, which seemed to have become the inherent posture of the criminal police when they held a meeting.
