[163] The Mystery of the Baby
Ran Qin received a report that there was an unbelievable car accident in Panshi Township, and the culprit of the accident was an unmanned tricycle.
According to eyewitness accounts, he went home from work with a hoe. I witnessed an unmanned tricycle speeding past me on Keegan Road, and then led people headlong into a one-meter-wide Dongfeng canal on the side of the road.
Saying; The water in that canal was not deep, nor was it as strong as the water of a great river, so how could it have drowned a man?
The older generation said; When the time of your death comes, even a cow's foot nest will drown people, that's true.
The drowned bodies were recovered ashore, a man, a woman and a child. Later, it was confirmed that it was the boss of Murong's family of three, and the tricycle was a black car without a license plate, and there was no way to find the driver.
This series of strange things made Ran Qin's team anxious.
It's not that everything is going wrong, Zhong Kui finds the whereabouts of the baby, and the baby's body is found in the trash. Strangely, the baby's corpse was badly decomposed, and the extent of the decay of the tissues except for the faintly recognizable face had turned into a pile of rotten flesh contained by maggots. A foul smell wafted around, causing swarms of green-headed flies to buzz around the trash cans.
Judging by the degree of decomposition of the baby's corpse, it seems as if it has been dead for a long, long time. Looking at the appearance of the baby, it is true that the appearance of the baby described to the brother-in-law of the three leper cousins is very similar, but the facts speak louder than words, and the time of the baby's death and life are extremely inconsistent.
The mystery of the baby made Zhong Kui very confused, and according to the brother-in-law of the three lepers, the first to contact the baby was the three lepers. After the child's accident, the baby goes missing, but how can it end up in the trash?
He told Ran Qin that there must be traces to follow in finding the person who lost the baby.
Zhong Kui and Ran Qinbing split into two ways, on the one hand, to find the baby's final destination, and on the other hand, they had to think about the situation at the house of the third leper cousin's brother-in-law.
The brother-in-law of the third leper cousin never went out to work after the child's accident, so he farmed at home and accompanied his wife and hurt children who were still grieving.
When Zhong Kui went to the house of his cousin of the three lepers, he went home.
Wengen has an urgent matter at home, and he wants to rush back in a hurry, and Vanilla naturally has to follow him.
Zhiqing listened to Zhong Kui's account of what happened, so he decided to stay with him to find clues.
When the two of them arrived at the house of the cousin-in-law of the third leper, the cousin's expression was not abnormal, and the child's demeanor became a little wooden because of the fright and pain.
Zhong Kui told Zhiqing that the reason why this cousin was okay was because he gave her a copper coin to protect her in advance. Don't underestimate this small copper coin, it is the treasure handed down by the old cave killers, after tens of thousands of cave killers, set a variety of burial directions for the deceased, set the root of yin and yang in one, can be described as a rare treasure to suppress evil.
When he left his cousin's house, he repeatedly told him not to leave the copper coin, even if he slept at night, to hold it in the palm of his hand.
Zhong Kui went from Huilongwan to the county seat, and remembered that before these things happened, the three lepers had teamed up with Boss Murong to hack him.
When he thought of Boss Murong, he thought of the baby who was still in the trash can.
Boss Murong's house was three streets away from the location of the dead baby, and a few meters away from his Zhong Kui's home.
Could it be that this Boss Murong wants to do something bad that harms others and himself? Could the baby be the one he still has in the trash? Speculation flashed through his mind, and he immediately went to Ran Qin to ask for a search warrant.
Sure enough, there were indeed traces of babies in Boss Murong's house. The baby's smell was peculiar, stinking and sticky, like the smell of a carrion.
The baby was missing for a while, why did it appear at Boss Murong's house again, and why did he throw it away later?
Ran Qin reminded Zhong Kui with a word.
The day Boss Murong ran away from home was the same day that he found out that the three lepers had died.
The truth of the matter seems to be about to surface, but how did the three lepers find the missing baby?
Touching the melon, Zhong Kui heard something from the mouth of the talkative tenant aunt. That is, one day, she saw a group of people gathered in the street outside the market, and they seemed to be watching something.
Auntie's natural curiosity was attracted by the laughter of the group from time to time.
She also hurried to join in the fun, because the aunt was short, she was always isolated from the periphery and couldn't see the situation inside. She couldn't see that she was anxious, and she couldn't be anxious, so she had to stand far away to see when she had the opportunity to squeeze in to see what was going on.
But after a while, the crowd began to stir, and then it dispersed automatically. She saw a figure holding a baby flash in front of her eyes and quickly ran into the crowd. There was a woman in the back crying and saying something, who snatched her child.
Zhong Kui stared at the aunt and said, "Didn't you see who ran in front of you?" ”
The aunt shook her head firmly and said, "My old eyes are dizzy, I really didn't see it." ”
"Well, thank you." Zhong Kui nodded.
"Did you see the woman?" Zhiqing next to him listened for a long time, and finally spoke.
"Hmmm! The woman's appearance was not bad. ”
Zhiqing and Zhong Kui looked at each other and continued: "That woman, do you know? ”
"I don't know." Auntie said seriously.
Just when Zhong Kui was about to say something, a little girl came over, pinched a handful of wooden chips in her hand, looked at her aunt and shouted with a smile: "Grandma......"
"Huh! My granddaughter. ”
"There you go!" Zhong Kui said.
While speaking, the girl had already walked over, handed the wooden piece in her hand to the aunt, and said happily, "Grandma made you a toothpick." ”
Get! The girl's actions made three people laugh. The piece of wood she was holding in her hand was used to shave her ass, as she said at the very beginning.
After the aunt laughed, her old face was a little unbearable, she looked at Zhong Kui and the two of them embarrassedly, took the girl's hand and left, and asked as she walked, "Where did you pick up these broken pieces?" ”
"There are a lot of them in public places."
"Throw it away, wait for your parents to come back and settle accounts for you."
Looking at the backs of their grandparents and grandchildren, Zhong Kui and Zhiqing smiled.
"The wood chips are good, my father used them when I was a child, and that guy stabbed people's buttocks and hurt. I tore the portrait of our ancestor to wipe my buttocks, and I was shaved by my father. Zhong Kui pursed his lips and smiled bitterly. Then he said, "That was the first and last time my father beat me." ”
"Okay, it's sad to see things and think about people!" Zhiqing patted him on the shoulder, and the two returned home side by side.
"I think that woman has something to do with the baby." Zhiqing, who was sitting on the sofa, said his opinion.
"Yes, I also think I have a hypothesis. The woman is also the master who picked up the baby, but the three lepers picked up the baby in front, his sister didn't say that after the child had an accident, the baby suddenly disappeared, it should have been picked up by the woman and brought home, and then brought to the street to play, and was seen by the three lepers again, so there was a dispute and a circle on the street. ”
"Agree, it should be ......"
Zhiqing's words were interrupted by a knock outside the tuk tuk door, and they both looked at the door at the same time, each with a look of surprise on their faces, secretly guessing who would knock on the door.
