Chapter 208: A case within a case
In the box opened by Yang Guoshan is a small sculpture, about forty centimeters high, sitting cross-legged, seeing the face of this sculpture, my scalp is numb, isn't this the Gu God in Chen Laosan's mouth? This is the fourth time I've seen this strange face.
Yang Guoshan took out a few strange things, each of which was very peculiar, even if it was something similar, I had never seen it.
"Director Yang, do you think these things have something to do with the Yellow River?"
"It must have something to do with the Yellow River, and it has something to do with your investigation, I heard Director Wang of the Public Security Bureau say that you also found a strange sculpture of a mud tire in a deserted cemetery before, and there are relics left in that place from 4,000 years ago......"
As soon as he heard this, Deputy Director Wang bragged to the outside world, he must have bragged about how ×good he was, and led his subordinates of the Public Security Bureau to brave the ghosts, and then swept away the demons and monsters......
I discussed with Yang Guoshan, I don't want anything else, take these turtle shells away first, I always feel that there is a secret hidden in the strange symbols on this turtle shell, which is also what the antique Li told me when he was alive, in ancient times, cast on bronze or engraved on turtle shells are very precious information.
Among the people I know, only Antique Li and my uncle know this strange text symbol, and now that Antique Li has traveled to the crane fairy, only Uncle Shi remains.
Our matter is not over, even if Dayu who is trapped at the bottom of the river can't get out, but we have to find the "out-of-body" high priest, right? Moreover, two strange things happened in a row, which are estimated to be related to the Yellow River.
Leaving the cultural center, we went directly to the Public Security Bureau, and as soon as we entered the gate, we saw Zhang Kailong and Chen Laosan standing at the door of the duty room.
What day is it, why are you waiting for me at the gate?
After getting out of the car, Zhang Kailong hooked his hand directly at me and said, "You come with me to the morgue first!" ”
I'm no stranger to the public security bureau's morgue, and the last time I came here, the horrible scene still makes my scalp tingle.
When the little policeman on duty opened the iron door of the morgue, I saw at a glance the rich foreign businessman who had drowned in the Yellow River yesterday afternoon, and at first glance, a very uncomfortable feeling came to me, the old man's face was still a very exaggerated smile, although the flesh on his face had long been stiff, but the mad smile was still not reduced in the slightest.
The driver next to him still had a frightened face on his face, almost the same as when he was fished out of the water yesterday.
"Xiao Zhen, I heard that when these two people had an accident, you happened to be at the scene?"
"Oh! When I passed by, they should have been dead, just seeing the salvage. ”
"What do you think about this?"
"This ...... This shouldn't be an accident! It may have something to do with the Yellow River and the things we investigated! ”
Zhang Kailong nodded, and suddenly removed the white cloth that was more than half of the remaining body covered.
I felt like throwing up! I saw that the old man and the young man were already naked, and their thighs were full of small holes the size of rice grains, dense, very terrifying, if anyone with dense phobia saw it, they must have gone crazy on the spot.
"Brother Long! This...... What's going on? ”
Zhang Kailong shook his head and replied: "This is also found when I do a corpse test according to the usual practice. ”
He handed me a medical glove and a mask, pointed to the dense small hole in the old man's thigh, and said, "The most unbelievable thing, I guess you haven't found out yet." What do you think is the characteristic of this little hole? ”
I endured the uncomfortable feeling in my heart, and looked closely, the small hole looked very deep, but there was not the slightest trace of blood, and I didn't see anything else.
Zhang Kailong reminded me: "Take a closer look at how these caves are formed......
Before he finished speaking, I saw that these small caves deep in the flesh of the thighs were slightly protruding outward, which showed that when the caves were formed, they were formed from the inside out.
All of a sudden, I was tight, could it be that something came out of it? What could it be? Could it be a bug? When I think about it, I feel itchy all over my body.
"Actually, we found out yesterday, and we didn't bother when we saw your family holding a banquet at home......"
After leaving the morgue, Zhang Kailong took me to his office, and as soon as I entered the door, I saw a few people with sad faces, and looked around, there were six in total, there were men and women, among which there was a bejeweled fat woman and a woman who was dressed and temperamentally a little dirty and cried the saddest.
"Xiao Zhen! These are the families of the deceased. ”
It turned out that the fat woman was the only daughter of the foreign Chinese, and the woman dressed very dirty was the driver's daughter-in-law, and behind her were the families of the two.
According to the fat woman, his father's name was Yang Xiliang, who became a British citizen twenty years ago and also went to London to settle in the same year. Before going to the UK, Yang Xiliang was in the business of buying seafood in several counties and districts of Hekou. In those days, business was basically a mixed diet, and the class concept of "Shinong, business, and commerce" was still very deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
But somehow, Yang Xiliang suddenly got out, and almost overnight he became a lot of money.
The fat woman said that her father's time in England was not a happy one, and that for many years he had nightmares about a golden carp chasing him, and each time he woke up when he was about to be overtaken.
Over time, Yang Xiliang couldn't bear it! So I chose to return to my homeland with my daughter half a year ago.
Yang Xiliang first bought a villa by the river, and after a few days of leisure, he found that the price of antiques related to the Yellow River in this area was very cheap, and with the keen sense of smell cultivated in decades of business, he smelled another good opportunity to make a fortune.
So Yang Xiliang started the business of buying antiques in the Yellow River Basin.
Just a few weeks ago, Yang Xiliang was introduced to Li Xiaobai, and then met Li He through Li Xiaobad.
When he saw Li He's metal carp for the first time, he was stunned, wasn't this the carp that had chased him for many years in his dream? At that time, he made a decision, no matter how much money it was, he must buy this carp.
We all know what happened after that, Yang Xiliang did buy the fish, but when we found Li He's body, the fish appeared in his hands again......
According to Yang Xiliang's daughter, when his father brought this metal fish home, he was so excited that he didn't even leave the bedroom for several days, and the food and water were delivered to the door.
What made his daughter even more confused and worried was that Yang Xiliang often talked to himself in the house, sometimes laughing, sometimes crying.
A few days ago, Yang Xiliang suddenly walked out of the bedroom, not holding the metal fish in his hand.
Seeing that their father finally walked out of the bedroom, the family was relieved, and naturally they would not mention the matter of the metal fish again, but they also wondered in their hearts, this metal fish is not big, it is not small, why is it suddenly gone!
A few days have passed in a blink of an eye, and Yang Xiliang seems to be doing everything normally until the early hours of yesterday morning.
In the early hours of yesterday morning, Yang Xiliang's fat daughter was awakened by a burst of screams, and she walked out of the bedroom to see her father naked. Standing in the living room, the pencil in his hand was scribbling something on a piece of paper.
She is also a married person, and she has seen any shotguns and small cannons, and besides, it is her father, so she walked over and saw Yang Xiliang throwing a few pieces of white paper beside him, and a painting was also painted on them.
Speaking of this, Zhang Kailong walked to his desk and took out a folder from a drawer, which contained more than a dozen drawings scribbled with pencils.
"See for yourself!"
Zhang Kailong handed me the painting.
With a stomach full of doubts, I took the painting. The first picture depicts a strange man with huge eyes and mouth, and his mouth is completely open, almost from one ear to the other, and what is even more surprising is that the man's eyes are bulging.
Although it was drawn with pencil and the color was monotonous, I recognized it at a glance, wasn't this the Gu God?
Thinking about it, it's really a fucking evil sect, it's only been a morning, and I'm already the second time I've seen a Gu God I've never seen before, is it an arrangement in the dark?
The second painting is also very familiar, hesitated for a moment, and recognized it, this turned out to be Dayu's face, the strokes are very rough, but the characters are very vivid.
The third one turned out to be the huge hibiscus tree.
I quickly flipped through the remaining paintings, almost all of which were from the tomb of Dayu. But there are three, which I really don't understand, one of which is of an animal that looks like a dragon and a snake, winding and circling, and one that seems to be a hunting scene......
When I look at these paintings, I can feel my body trembling.
Zhang Kailong didn't say anything else, but continued to introduce me to the fat woman's confession, and the fat woman would also interject a few words from time to time.
After Yang Xiliang finished drawing these strange paintings, he threw the pencil, and then looked up to the sky and laughed, and at about six o'clock, he called his driver, Xiao Song.
Xiao Song is Yang Xiliang's full-time driver, and the previous purchase of metal carp was completed by Xiao Song pulling Yang Xiliang.
Xiao Song's daughter-in-law interjected and said that Xiao Song had been soulless all day long in those days, so she also found a god-in-law to call the soul......
At seven o'clock that day, Xiao Song drove the car to the door of Yang Xiliang's house, and when he left, Yang Xiliang glanced at his fat daughter very affectionately, and said that she must take good care of these dozen paintings.
At about half past seven, the two of them set off.
The families of the two couldn't imagine that yesterday's farewell was the last time they met them.
After that, I received a call from the Public Security Bureau, informing me to identify the body......
After listening, I asked the two women who were still crying: "You said that the two of them have been in an abnormal mental state for the past few days?" ”
The fat woman wiped her tears and replied, "It's not normal! I think Daddy has gone crazy since he brought that metal fish home!"
Crazy? Suddenly, a person appeared in my mind, could it be that Yang Xiliang was in the same situation as that person?
