After catching a few more and putting them in the bottle, I felt that the number was about the same, so I squatted to the side and watched.

I found that the so-called "hungry" of the natal Gu was not the hunger of ordinary people and animals, not really eating centipedes and scorpions, but sucking the toxins in their bodies, about ten minutes later, the silkworm-like natal Gu gradually turned into a crystal green, and after stopping smoking, he looked up at me, and his body twisted a few times.

Hey? Is this full?

With the last experience, I opened my mouth very reluctantly, and the natal Gu flew up with a "whoosh" and burrowed into my abdomen, and the whole process was very appropriately described as an electric flint.

I hurriedly asked in the language of thought, "Are you full?" ”

The natal Gu replied quickly: "I'm full, I'm full!" ”

I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but I immediately burped.

When I returned to the dormitory, I saw that Wu Jinghan was sleeping soundly and had a smile on her face, so I quietly took off my shoes and lay down against her.

It's dawn to sleep.

After getting up, I felt refreshed, my ears and eyes were clear, and every cell in my body felt comfortable.

Alas?

I thought it was quite strange, and then I heard a "stinging, stinging" voice from the natal Gu in my abdomen: "I said earlier, we have become physically and mentally united, I am hungry, you will be uncomfortable, I am happy, and you will be comfortable."

And this kind of thing!

"And how often should you eat?"

"About once every ten days! However, when I encounter good things, I want to eat them at any time, my favorite food is all kinds of yin qi and toxins, and when I suck to the first level, I will transform into a golden silkworm Gu, and then the energy will be more powerful, and it will also be of great benefit to you. ”

"To me? What's in it for me? ”

"Do you know what immortal cultivation is?"

I pondered for a moment: "You're talking about monk or Taoist cultivation, right?" The monk recites the Buddha and meditates, and the Taoist priest cultivates himself and refines the elixir."

The Natal Gu let out a burst of laughter like a silver bell: "That's only the initial stage, and most of them are not in the right way, most people who really cultivate immortals will not be public, and they can't see it from the surface......"

I interrupted Natal Gu's words: "It's not public, and it can't be seen from the surface, so there should always be a different performance, right?" ”

"Cultivating immortals is also divided into different stages, the primary stage is of course to prolong life, and then cultivate, will rejuvenate, it is said that after cultivating to a certain extent, you can go to heaven and earth, and control objects with your mind."

I was shocked: "Isn't that really a fairy?" ”

"Cultivating immortals! Cultivating immortals! If you cultivate a positive fruit, you will become an immortal. There have been many people who have become immortals in history, such as Jiang Ziya and Li Er. ”

Jiang Ziya I know, there is a famous story in history of "Jiang Taigong fishing wisher to take the bait", it is said that in order to attract the attention of King Wen of Zhou, he deliberately fished with an embroidery needle, sure enough, King Wen of Zhou who passed by was very curious, leaned over to ask what was the end, and was impressed by Jiang Ziya's knowledge and learning, and carried him eight steps, and the result of the existence of the Great Zhou Dynasty was exactly 800 years.

As for Li Er, it should be Lao Tzu, the ancestor of Taoism in the Spring and Autumn Period, it is said that he was born in his mother's womb for three years, and after he was in his eighties, he rode a green ox out of Jiayuguan, and there has been no news since then.

His whereabouts remain a mystery to this day.

Some people say that he went to Nepal and pointed out a man named Shakyamuni, who later founded Buddhism, of course, I think this is the intention of the Chinese people, and some people say that Lao Tzu was killed by bandits as soon as he came out of the customs.

Today I heard another version.

A conversation that made my heart surge. It sounds similar to the plot in the god list!

It is very free to work at the water conservancy station, it is said that it is eight o'clock to work, because there are a few people in the station, in fact, it is not worth watching, according to the convention, you have to go to the office before eight o'clock in the morning, if there is something, the stationmaster will arrange it directly, and you will be free to move around if you have nothing to do.

When I arrived, Yao Liguo was talking to Yu Jin, and both of them looked very serious.

"Got a mission?"

Intuitively, I asked as I walked in.

Yao Liguo waved his hand: "It's just right to come, sit first." ”

After I sat down, Yao Liguo also sat opposite me: "I just received a notice from the police station that some human corpses were found in the river near the district city, and Captain Hao asked us to go and see if it needs to be salvaged." ”

Crushed?

All I felt was a wave of nausea, followed by retching.

"So be it! Tian Zhen was drunk last night, and now he is still a little dizzy, this time you and Yu Jin will go on a trip! ”

I nodded, "Okay!" I worked hard for everyone some time ago, and I should do more. ”

Out of the office, I noticed that the station is equipped with a new car, although it is only a Jetta, but it is a new three-point hard, which is already very good! According to the address told by Hao Minyuan, it took half an hour's drive to reach the destination.

As soon as I parked the car on the embankment of the Yellow River, I saw dozens of people gathered on the river beach from a distance, including uniformed criminal policemen, and two police cars parked not far from the crowd. Yu Jin and I trotted over, and saw a large area around the cordon, Liu Xili and Xiao He were bending down to find something, and then looked at the river beach on the side, there was a blue tarp of about two square meters, and there was a pile of broken corpses on it, bloody, and there was a human hand.

"Brother, I didn't expect that after one night, we would meet again!"

Hao Minyuan smiled bitterly when he saw me.

I hurriedly walked over, and the criminal police officer in charge of the guard on the side helped to raise the cordon.

"What's going on! Homicide case? ”

"That's not nonsense!"

"Who is so vicious!"

"People? Liu Ke had carefully observed the traces of the broken corpse just now, and it was neither a knife or axe or other sharp weapons, nor a chainsaw or any other tool. ”

I subconsciously shrunk my neck, and an ominous feeling welled up.

"It's not human, what could it be?"

Hao Minyuan shook his head: "There is no conclusion yet, but Liu Ke judged that judging from the traces of the corpse, the tearing characteristics of the soft tissues are very similar to being torn by brute force." ”

"Tearing hard? What people! ”

"Didn't you say it just now, it may not be a person, how can a person have such strength!"

As he was talking, Liu Xili walked over and nodded at me, which was regarded as a greeting.

"It is a male corpse, not very old, because the body parts are incomplete, so it is impossible to judge other physical characteristics, and it is estimated that the deceased was shredded by the river."

Hao Minyuan nodded: "If the corpse is broken in the river, why will there be so many corpses on the river beach!" ”

Hao Minyuan smiled coldly: "It's a coincidence!" Last night it was the fifteenth, and there happened to be a tidal phenomenon, and these corpses were washed up by the river. ”

After saying that, the two of them looked at me together.

"What for?" I asked them both rhetorically.

"Professional things are still done by professional people, and the matter of going into the water to fish for corpses ......"

I patted the back of my head and smiled bitterly at Yu Jin behind me: "Brother Jin, don't say anything, let's work!" ”

According to Yu Jin's judgment, the clothes and belongings of the other broken corpses, as well as the possibly dead corpses, should be in the current river. Hua Heng College

After some tinkering, Yu Jin and I went down the river.

This section of the river was about two or three meters deep, and Yu Jin and I put on simple diving equipment and went down to the river.

The two of them lay on the riverbed, carried out a dragnet search, and spent more than an hour, and fished out more than a dozen pieces of broken corpses, some clothes torn into strips, and a complete wallet.

Xiao He and a few forensic doctors put together the broken corpses that were fished up, and a human figure gradually took shape.

Liu Xili squatted aside, using his energy on the black wallet he had fished up.

This is a very common wallet, a black fake crocodile brand, deflated, only a few ten-yuan and a few pieces of money are pulled out of it, and finally an ID card is taken out.

Liu Xili held his ID card in his hand.

Qin Xinpeng, Gender: Male, Nationality: Han, Date of Birth: ...... Address: Hekou District, Dongying City, Shandong Province......

It should be the ID card of the deceased, what is this person named Qin Xinpeng for, why did he die so miserably!

At this time, the forensic doctor Xiao He came over: "Team Hao, Liu Ke, preliminarily concluded that the deceased was about 20 years old, about 1.7 meters tall, and the time of death was no more than 24 hours. ”

A few of us subconsciously looked at the avatar on the ID card again, it was a very young and immature boy with thick lips, thick eyebrows and big eyes, giving people a very honest feeling.

Hao Minyuan took the ID card, took out his mobile phone and took a picture: "I'll ask my colleagues in the household registration department to check it, if the family of the deceased can be found, it may be of great help to solve the case." ”

After that, the operation of the mobile phone was sent out.

Hao Minyuan led the criminal police to expand the search area centered on the location where the broken corpse was found, and Liu Xili squatted in front of the corpse again, fiddling with it for a while, and suddenly his body was stunned.

"What's the matter, Healiver?"

Liu Xili pointed to the left shoulder of the corpse: "Look at this trace!" ”

Following his fingers, I saw a strange scar on the left shoulder of the naked corpse, like it was scratched by some bird of prey, but it was definitely not a human scratch.

"This ...... What kind of animal did this? ”

Liu Xili shook his head: "I can't judge this for the time being." ”

I felt a drum beat in my heart, what beasts could be in the river - there were no seals in the Yellow River.

Ten minutes later, Hao Minyuan and his people rushed back, and found an old electric car under a nearby roadside tree, and also found a net on a river beach more than 100 meters downstream.

He analyzed that the deceased had come to fish before his death, and the time should have been between 12 noon and 12 o'clock in the evening yesterday.

Fisherman? It was the period from noon to evening yesterday...... I suddenly thought of a person, the owner of the food stall last night, and remembered that his son was going to fish in the Yellow River, and when we left, it was almost 11 o'clock at night, and he had not yet returned.

There can't be such a coincidence, right?

Soon the call from the household registration department came, and Hao Minyuan picked it up and listened to it a few times, and his face changed.

"Brother Minyuan, is there any news from the family of the deceased?"

Hao Minyuan pursed his lips and nodded: "It's really a coincidence!" Who do you guess this is Qin Xinpeng? ”

We both shook our heads at the same time.

"Dadong Road food stall!"

Dadong Road partner? I didn't react for a while.

Hao Minyuan added: "Ao, it's the food stall we ate together last night." ”

I only feel that my head is "buzzing", it seems that this is really a coincidence that its mother met its father, and it happened to be home.

I asked Yu Jin to go back first, and I followed Hao Minyuan to the food stall where I had dinner last night.

The bald boss was cleaning, and when he saw us coming in, he was also stunned, and his eyes fixed on Hao Minyuan, who was wearing a police uniform, and his face changed significantly.

"How many people are?"

"Boss, hasn't your son come back yet?" Hao Minyuan asked straight to the point.

The bald boss nodded first: "No! I...... I'm looking around for a couple of people - do you have any news? ”

Hao Minyuan nodded, took out the ID card from his bag, and handed it over.

"Boss, this is your son, right?"

The bald boss's face turned even paler this time, and he took it tremblingly, glanced at it, and nodded solemnly.

"Then ask the boss to come along!"

Ten minutes later, Hao Minyuan led the food stall owner into the morgue, because the corpse was so broken that only half of his head was left, the food stall owner recognized it for a minute, and his body shook like chaff.

"Yes...... It's my son, it's him! Xinpeng ...... Xinpeng! My ......"

Before he finished speaking, his eyes turned white, and the man collapsed to the ground like a noodle.

The identity of the deceased was determined, and the case was a big step forward, Hao Minyuan took a few criminal policemen to visit the area where Qin Xinpeng's body was found, this area belongs to the suburbs, although there are not many people, there is no shortage of people sooner or later, there may be witnesses, and they can see something.

It was noon as they spoke, and a few people had a casual bite to eat at a fast food restaurant by the river, which happened to have a small pier next to it, and several small fishing boats were already parked. As soon as I finished eating, I saw a fishing boat docking, and it was a thin old man rocking the boat, which reminded me of Sun Cannon from Donghu Village.

Hao Minyuan walked to the boat in a few steps.

"Brother, this is just ashore!"

The old man of the boatman gave him a blank look, and after tying the rope of the boat, he replied angrily: "Don't you see it all!" ”

Hao Minyuan hurriedly took out a cigarette, handed it over, and continued to ask with a smile: "I want to ask, is my brother busy all night!" ”

Taking the cigarette, the old man's tone softened.

"We all fish like this, we all fish at night, isn't this just the Mid-Autumn Festival! These two days are the easiest days of the month, so ...... So after another morning, I'm almost tired! ”

As he spoke, he stuffed the cigarette into his mouth, Hao Minyuan quickly took out a lighter, turned it on, and leaned over.

"By the way, brother, didn't you see anything strange last night?"

The old man took a puff of his cigarette and looked like he was enjoying it.

"Last night was peaceful, nothing strange!" The old man looked disapproving.

I also interjected: "Didn't you hear any movement?" ”

The old man shook his head: "No! ”

Without waiting for us to answer, the man jumped ashore and walked towards the fast food, apparently in a hurry to eat.

We were about to turn around and walk forward, when we heard the voice of an old man behind us: "You are here to catch the water monkeys!" I advise you not to toss around, the water monkey is our river god, and no one will come in vain! ”

Water monkeys?

I immediately remembered that I had seen the thing in the Yellow River that night with his entire face covered in black hair, and the local rumor said that it was a water monkey.
