Drowning (6)
"Village Chief Yue, do you still know who in the village receives the most help from the other party?" Hu Hao asked in a deep voice.
"Do you know how many you want me to take you to them now?" Yue Yun faintly guessed a little of his thoughts and said.
If his ghost really exists, and he is still killing people according to this common denominator, then tomorrow, these beneficiaries are likely to be persecuted.
"Wait until I find my own team members first, and then go over together."
After a while, he gathered the team together and quickly explained the situation.
"Captain, you can, you found so many at once!" Xiao Lei said with some admiration.
"It's just a clue, it's too early to rejoice." Hu Hao's expression was serious, and he didn't feel any sense of accomplishment.
"Alright, let's hurry up." Luo Bo said.
Hu Hao stood up with a solemn face and said to Yue Yun, "I'm sorry for you."
After a while, they followed Yue Yun to Xiao Wang's house, found the target Xiao Wang himself, and told each other what might happen.
"What? You say I'll be killed like them tomorrow! Xiao Wang asked in surprise.
"Yes! I'll send someone to follow you twenty-four hours a day, so you don't have any accidents. Hu Hao gave a plan.
"Don't be kidding, that's pure nonsense, it's really still a feudal society." Xiao Wang is obviously also a person who does not believe in ghosts and gods, and directly rejected his arrangement.
"I don't believe it either. The reason for this arrangement is to confirm whether it is Yue Xingshan's ghost who is haunting, please cooperate with me to assist in the investigation, please! Hu Hao looked at him with sincere eyes and said.
“…… All right! Although Xiao Wang was not very willing, the other police begged him to cooperate, and it was not good to refuse, so he agreed.
"Liang Cai, you stay, pay close attention to any suspects appearing, and see if it is a ghost murder." Hu Hao ordered.
"I'm alone! What if it's a ghost killing someone, I'm afraid I won't even be able to protect myself. Liang Cai said with some fear.
"Do your best." Hu Hao understood this truth, and he didn't expect him to protect the other party, he just wanted to confirm whether the ghost really existed.
Next, he found two key targets in turn, and let the other two members of his team stay with them.
"Village Chief Yue, are the three of them sure that they have a close relationship with Yue Xingshan?" Hu Hao confirmed again.
"It won't be wrong, in my impression, except for those who died, they had the most contact with Yue Xingshan, and asked each other to help deal with some trivial matters in life many times." Yue Yun affirmed.
"I see. It's getting late, so Village Chief Yue will go back and rest first. He nodded.
"Okay, if you need help with anything, just come to me." Yue Yun didn't shirk it, and went back after speaking.
…… Night falls, and the time comes to midnight.
Hu Hao did not fall asleep, but walked alone on the country road.
The night in the small village of Moon Bay is not as quiet as it used to be, and the scattered lights in the village are mixed with some crying sounds, rendering a sad atmosphere to the peaceful village.
"This ghost weather is a little cold, I knew to wear more clothes." Hu Hao walked back and forth, trying to provide himself with heat.
He was waiting for a call, a call from the team members, and if anyone in their area had anything unusual, he would call him immediately, and he would be able to rush over immediately.
Time passed little by little, but he did not wait for the call from the team members, which means that no anomaly has been found yet.
In Hu Hao's anxious waiting, he felt that time passed very slowly, and before he knew it, the sky was already dark.
"Hey! Xiao Lei, you didn't have anything out of the ordinary. Hu Hao picked up his mobile phone and made a phone call to ask, he was not sure about the situation and was always a little uneasy.
"Nope! There are no anomalies. Xiao Lei replied on the phone.
Then he dialed the other two team members in turn, and got the same result.
Hu Hao couldn't figure out the idea of the "murderer", so he could only hang up the phone with a heavy heart.
He wasn't sure if the killer would have changed his priorities because of his actions, or if he had provoked the other person and led the situation to a more serious one.
After eating, he continued to walk up and down the village road until a new round of the sun rose over the eastern horizon and set again over the western horizon.
"Officer Hu, the sun is about to set, hasn't the murderer moved yet?" Yue Yun stood next to him and looked at the sunset and asked.
"Don't worry, maybe the killer won't act until tonight." He said calmly.
Hu Hao looked calm on the surface, but in fact he was very nervous inside, he had been waiting for the phone team members to call, but the phone never rang.
"Village chief, my family Yue Meng brought back the best foreign imported wine from outside and gave it to you to taste." At this time, an aunt came forward with a porcelain jar for wine and said.
"Haha, he has a heart, then I'm welcome." Yue Yun usually likes to drink a little wine and cultivate his sentiments, so he directly accepted the small gift from his sister-in-law.
This kind of thing is very common, and it is normal for people in the village to occasionally hang out and give gifts to each other.
"By the way, didn't Yue Meng go to work far away from home, when did he come back?" He asked, a little confused.
"Just this afternoon. I was also surprised, and I didn't expect him to come back without making a sound. The aunt said with some joy.
It doesn't matter what happened to the other party coming back, but it is always a happy thing to reunite with relatives.
"Oh, I see......" he nodded in understanding.
"Not good!" Yue Yun suddenly shouted.
"What's wrong?" Seeing this, Hu Hao's heart suddenly changed, and he hurriedly asked.
"Yue Meng and Yue Xingshan have a close relationship, and the travel expenses for him to go out to work are still provided by the other party, will he be in danger!" Yue Yun hurriedly told what he knew.
"Lead the way, we need to find him quickly!" Hu Hao said immediately.
So the three of them rushed to the aunt's house in a hurry, but before they could enter the door, a child ran out and shouted, "Grandma, it's not good, my dad has an accident."
"What's wrong, isn't your dad taking a bath at home!" The aunt asked with a panicked expression.
"I heard something strange in the bathroom, so I knocked on the door, but my dad didn't respond when he was in the door."
When they heard this, they hurriedly rushed into the house with their aunt and quickly ran to the bathroom.
"Click!" Hu Hao tried to open the door, but he couldn't, and the inside seemed to be locked.
"Get out of the way, I'll just kick the door open." He took a step back and kicked the doorknob hard.
"Bang bang bang! Syllable! ”
The wooden bathroom door was kicked open with all his might.
An adult in his mid-thirties, naked and immersed in a tub, came into view, floating motionless in the tub.
"Son! What's wrong with you......" The aunt immediately pounced and burst into tears.
"The whole body is white, and the lips are blue, this is a sign of drowning!" Yue Yun has lived for more than half a hundred years, and he obviously has some knowledge.
Hu Hao quickly came to the other party's side, leaned his ear on the other party's chest and listened for a while and said: "The heart has stopped beating, you must do cardiopulmonary resuscitation on him immediately, maybe he can be rescued."
Hu Hao lay the drowning person on his back, overlapped his hands on the junction of the middle and lower third of the drowning person's sternum, and pressed hard and regularly without interruption.
At the same time, let Yue Yun cooperate with him and give artificial respiration to the drowning person.
After working for a while, they stopped.
"I'm sorry I couldn't save his life." Hu Hao shook his head apologetically.
"Hey! How can you drown for no reason? Yue Yun sighed sadly.
Hu Hao heard him mention this, and immediately felt the strangeness of the matter, although he had not seen the "ghost", but this way of killing people without a trace really did not look man-made.
