Hao Minyuan first introduced the case, and as soon as he spoke for two or three minutes, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and Xiao Li led an old man wearing thick glasses to walk in. Seeing the old man, Liu Liwei quickly stood up, and we quickly followed suit.

"Teacher Feng, I'm bothering you again this time! Come, please be seated! ”

The old man with thick glasses smiled and nodded, and sat down beside Liu Liwei.

Hao Minyuan continued to introduce the case, and then Liu Xili introduced the autopsy findings.

"The broken corpse has been spliced and autopsied, and the identity of the deceased has been determined to be Qin Xinpeng, we have carefully compared the broken corpse, and concluded that it was not made with the help of any sharp weapon, but was torn hard, and we also found a hair on one of the broken corpses that did not belong to the deceased."

Liu Liwei nodded: "Send Mao to the city as soon as possible for monitoring." ”

"It's already been sent, and the results should be passed on tomorrow."

In the end, Hao Minyuan showed the photo of his mobile phone to Mr. Feng.

"Today we visited the river section around Huanghe Village and asked more than a dozen people about the situation. According to the descriptions of these dozen people, in the past month, many people have caught strange creatures from the Yellow River, including this human-headed snake, including a three-headed turtle and a three-legged toad......"

Before Hao Minyuan finished speaking, Teacher Feng suddenly exclaimed: "What? This...... How is this possible! How did I not know? ”

Hao Minyuan hurriedly explained: "Well! First, because these strange things happened in the last month and a half, which is short, and second, the discoverers were fishermen from nearby villages, and they all had the mentality that more things are better than less, and later the circus went to buy them, so ......"

It could be seen that Teacher Feng was shocked, his eyes were staring straight at the phone screen, and he was muttering to himself.

"Teacher Feng, I just want to hear your opinion this time! What is the reason for so many strange creatures in the Yellow River - of course, there is a more important question. “

Teacher Feng took off his glasses, rubbed his eyes with his left hand, and looked serious: "Is there anything more important than this?" ”

I noticed that Mr. Feng's eyes were seriously deformed, and the whites of his eyes were obviously much more than those of ordinary people, which should be caused by high myopia and heavy myopia glasses for a long time.

Liu Liwei nodded slightly towards Hao Minyuan, and Hao Minyuan immediately spoke: "Teacher Feng has heard of water monkeys?" ”

Teacher Feng took a deep breath: "What? Water Monkey, You ...... What is this thing for, you ask? ”

"When we visited today, we heard that these fishermen had seen water monkeys in addition to catching strange creatures, and it is said that the appearance of water monkeys is very similar to that of monkeys on land, with black hair, blood-red eyes, and a mouth of fangs, which are more flexible than frogs in the water, and come out at night to move......

I noticed Mr. Feng's face, and when I heard Hao Minyuan say it at the end, his brows were almost twisted into pimples, and his mouth slowly opened, which showed the degree of surprise in his heart.

"Is that true?" Teacher Feng asked in surprise.

"Based on the man's description, and my judgment, it should be true."

"Oh my God! Oh, my God! It's impossible! Some time ago, Professor Tan and his team just published an academic paper on water ghosts, proving that the so-called water ghosts - that is, the water monkeys in your mouth, are people's misunderstanding of otters, that is, what people call water monkeys are actually otters. ”

I heard it a little foggy, how could two animals that are not related to each other, water monkeys and otters, wind cattle and horses?

Teacher Feng put back on his glasses, sighed, and slowly opened his mouth.

"Water monkeys" are found all over the world, and are commonly known as "water ghosts", and some places are also called "water lion ghosts", "water ghouls", "falling ghouls", and even in Japan there are legends about water monkeys, and they are called "kappa".

"Water monkeys" generally live in the water, and sometimes come ashore, and are mostly found in wild water sources such as mountain ponds and reservoirs. Water monkeys are very water-based, and their limbs are weak after ten minutes out of the water.

In the water, the water monkey is several times more powerful than humans, so if it is held in the water, it is life-threatening. Folklore has it that the water monkey has a huge and mysterious power in the water, can dig under the water and shuttle through different ponds and rivers, catch the person who falls into the water and drag it to the bottom, and cover the victim's seven orifices with silt, causing it to suffocate to death, and even legend has it that the water monkey sucks human blood, eats human nails and eyeballs.

It is said that in the fifties and sixties of the last century, a strange creature was caught in Japan.

This animal is more than 60 centimeters tall, the appearance is very similar to the ape, the voice is high-pitched, very penetrating, the locals think this is the water monkey, but also grabbed one, but later was taken away by a mysterious organization, never seen again.

Folk people all over China have similar legends, that is, there are water monkeys in the lake!

It is said that 30 years ago, there was a middle-aged woman in a village on the edge of the Yellow River, her family lived by the lake, and the family dog died, so she threw the dog at the lake.

A few days later, she came out to take out the garbage, and when she reached the lake, she saw a monster with long nails like a monkey, and a wicked-looking monster gnawing on the corpse of its dog, and the dog had been disemboweled, and the monster was eating the dog's entrails! At that moment, the monster also saw the woman, and then with a hissing noise, it jumped up and jumped into the water.

Probably this is the water monkey!

Of course, none of the above leaves direct evidence, so many contemporary biologists believe that the so-called water monkeys are actually some kind of otter - although this theory is still very controversial.

After listening to Mr. Feng, I thought of the legend of the water monkey that I heard in the days I had been in Donghu Village.

Could it be that many years ago, the strange animal that the fishermen brought home and played with their children was a water monkey cub? I've quickly summarized these legends about water monkeys, and they all seem to have one thing in common, that is, water monkeys are extremely ferocious.

"That's right, we found a hair on the shredded corpse, which proves that it is not the deceased, if the murderer is really a water monkey, I think it was left behind." Liu Xili continued.

Teacher Feng was shocked again: "What? Found a hair—that ...... That's great, but what about that hair? The old man's voice trembled a little, and his excitement could not be concealed.

"As I said just now, it has been sent to the Forensic Science Department of the Municipal Bureau, and the results will probably be available tomorrow morning, and they will scan and pass them on when the time comes." sweet potato

"That's good! There is a result, please ...... Please let me know. ”

Liu Xili nodded: "Okay, Teacher Feng, I remember!" ”

The case is becoming more and more confusing, the murderer is neither a human nor a ghost, it may be a strange unknown creature, speaking of which, this is not nonsense!

The analysis meeting was held until half past nine, Liu Xili wanted me to live in the dormitory of the police station, but I was worried about Wu Jinghan, she would go back to Jinan the day after tomorrow, although she would come back in a week or two, but during this time, we were together almost every day, and we were used to it, and I felt reluctant to think about it.

I've got to go back tonight!

"Brother Lu Dong, I have applied to Liu Suo, and he has agreed, but I still have to ask for your opinion!"

When only me, Hao Minyuan, and Liu Liwei were left in the conference room, Hao Minyuan gently patted me on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Huh? What do you mean, Brother Minyuan? ”

I was directly confused.

"I want to invite you to join our criminal police team, there is a shortage of talents like you in the team!"

I wasn't surprised to hear him say this, and I had heard Hao Minyuan mention it before.

"Brother Minyuan, I'm ...... I don't know anything, what kind of talent, you're really kidding!"

Hao Minyuan gently patted my left shoulder twice again: "Brother, I'm really not joking with you, in fact, everyone in the criminal police team knows that many cases are more special, or more supernatural, many times we can't do it, and we still need talents like brothers!" ”

I don't seem to understand this, the first thing that comes to mind is the experience on the edge of the ancient well in Qilijing that night, at that time, including Hao Minyuan, more than ten or twenty people were all recruited, and they were really not able to work hard at that time.

Liu Liwei smiled slightly: "That's what I mean, of course I haven't said hello to Yao Liguo yet, as long as you want, I'll call him immediately." ”

Yes! This......

The two of them looked at me with such a smile on their faces, which made me a little embarrassed, and I Liu Ludong actually became a fragrant glutton, which was really a little uncomfortable.

The brain spun around twice and replied with a smile: "So be it! Let me think about it, okay? ”

Liu Xili smiled and nodded: "That's good!" We wait for the good news. ”

Xiao Li drove me to the water conservancy station, and when he saw me, Wu Jinghan rushed up directly in front of Yao Liguo, Tian Zhen, and Yu Jin, and pinched my thigh, so painful that I couldn't help but cry out.

"You...... What are you doing! ”

Wu Jinghan was stunned: "Where is your mobile phone?" ”

Cell phone? I hurriedly took my phone out of my pocket, and when I saw it, it dawned on me.

Shut down!

It is estimated that there was no time to charge before going out in the morning, and the machine was automatically turned off.

I grinned embarrassedly: "I'm so busy today, I'm really embarrassed!" ”

Tian Zhen and Yu Jin on the side immediately coaxed.

"What if the cucumber rack in the backyard is upside down?"

"Lift it up!"

"It's down again!"

"Then help me up again!"

Even Yao Liguo looked at the two of us with a smile, so that I could feel my face burning.

But they were quite interesting, and after making some jokes, they left laughing.

There were only the two of us left, staring at each other, and silence was better than sound at this point.

Wu Jinghan snuggled into my arms all of a sudden, and gently put her hands around my waist, and the person suddenly became gentle.

"Ludon, you don't know how worried I am about you today...... Several times I almost couldn't resist taking a taxi to find you......"

I put my arms around her waist and kissed her on the forehead: "I encountered some strange things today, the matter of breaking corpses, I think Yu Jin has already told you......" I said what happened after that in a few words.

"Yes! I'm on the train at half past ten tomorrow morning, you go see me off! By the way, let's go shopping - after being together for so long, I have been running around with you, and I haven't made a serious appointment to go shopping. ”

Ten fingers interlocked, I kissed her on the forehead again: "I promise you!" Tomorrow I will accompany you shopping and send you on the train! ”
