Book 2: Ba Ren Bronze Hanging Coffin Chapter 16: Dog Gu
"Gu?" Both Officer Wei and Dachang spoke in disbelief.
"Don't talk about it, this is a criminal case, and you can't just talk nonsense without basis." There was an element of warning in the officer's serious tone.
Dachangtong also said half-convinced, "Although I have heard that the Miao people have Gu techniques, but this thing is the same as chasing corpses, it is full of mystery, and there is no way to verify it." ”
"Two! Don't underestimate my brother, he has experienced strange things that you can't imagine, so he is an expert in these strange and mysterious things. "Seeing that the ghost is touting me so exaggeratedly, it makes my heart beat a drum, in case I accidentally look away, not my old face will fall to the ground.
But then again, although I'm not an expert about Gu, I know a little bit about it, after all, I didn't hear much about Uncle Jiu before, and I didn't watch "Hundred Ghosts and Evil Arts" either.
"Oh! Is it dripping or not? When Dachangtong heard the ghost say this, he believed what I just said, and said with a curious face, "Brother, tell everyone, what kind of Gu is this person?" I've always been curious. ”
The ghost cow is so big, and I don't like to yellow his face, so I will explain to everyone, "This person is a kind of Gu poison called dog Gu in Gu art, dog Gu is one of the Miao Gu arts, its practice is complicated and cumbersome, first find a black dog that has just been full moon and raise it, feed it more than ten kinds of poison every day, a little amount each time, so as not to poison to death, and when the black dog grows to one year old, it will die of poison due to excessive toxicity." ”
"After the black dog dies, use a leech (also commonly known as a leech) to put it into the body of a dead black dog to suck poisonous blood, wait until the eggs of the leech are laid in the body of the black dog, after a long time, the leech eggs become maggots and begin to eat the carrion of the dead dog, until they are finished, the maggots have no food and begin to kill each other, and finally the maggots that can survive grow into not simple leeches, but become seedlings of dog Gu."
At this point, I paused and glanced at the faces of the crowd with my eyes, each one uglier than the other, but they all expressed their undoubted belief.
I went on to say, "Miao worms to practice into dog Gu in the later stage is a kind of Miao ghost grass woman unique secret recipe, I don't know how they practiced in this regard, after all, this is the ancient Miao ghost grass woman secret technique, not leaked, basically lost, has long been impossible to investigate." ”
Hearing this, Officer Wei looked at me with puzzled eyes, "Even if what you just said about the dog Gu is true, then how can you conclude that this Wang Zhicheng has fallen for the dog Gu?" ”
I said, "Don't worry, I'll explain it to you one by one." Saying that, I moved the fainted Wang Zhicheng right, let him lie down facing us, and then explained, "The person who is in the dog Gu has several characteristics, when the junior high school dog Gu appears, there will be belly distention, reduced appetite, fishy mouth, forehead heat, and red face, and in the later stage, it will begin to continue to have a high fever that does not go away, do not eat rice, bloodshot eyes, black hair begins to appear on the body, and the mood is irritable, and you can't control it when you see things and want to bite, and you see if this Wang Zhicheng has the above characteristics." ”
As soon as I finished speaking, except for the ghost who didn't check Wang Zhicheng, the other two people all took a closer look at Wang Zhicheng according to the characteristics I said, because the ghost is determined to believe me.
First, the officer Wei touched Wang Zhicheng's body and said in surprise, "This body is really hot." ”
"No wonder he is as thin as a bone, and he is still locked with a big iron chain with the thickness of his arm, it turns out that he was caught by a dog Gu!" Dachangtong said and put his body close to Wang Zhicheng's mouth, "Wow! Good guy! It really stinks! "I also made a retching motion.
I patted Dachangtong on the head, "You're stupid!" I really smell it. ”
"Hee-hee!" Dachang Tong smiled and said, "Don't you say fishy, I'm learning by practice." ”
Officer Wei followed Dachangtong's words and joked, "It's a good thing to study more, and after learning well, you can be my assistant." At this point, the conversation immediately changed, looked at me and said, "You know a lot, even these evil witchcraft, your private detectives now have a wide range of business, have you considered contributing to the people and the government?" ”
After listening to this, I couldn't help muttering in my heart, this shrewd officer, dare to be the result of the police * bureau's investment promotion? The diggers have been dug up to my master, and after muttering to himself in his heart, he said perfunctorily, "What you said from the Health Bureau, aren't I just assisting in the case now." ”
After two sentences, I suggested that Wang Zhicheng be moved back to the bureau, which should be helpful to our investigation of the case, because I found that there were many scars on his neck that had been strangled by iron chains, and the scars were mostly in the shape of a horizontal sum equal to a sign, such traces were also found in the neck of the corpse of the "secret visitor" on the second floor of the hydropower station last night, and I didn't understand what it was at first, but now it seems that he should have let people hang the body after being strangled to death with an iron chain, as for what is the murderer's intention in hanging the body? I haven't figured it out yet, but the corpses of Zheng Dong, who died in the ice lake without a full corpse, the corpses of the undercover visitor, and Wang Zhicheng, who was hit by the dog Gu, have something in common with this iron chain, this must not be a coincidence, this connection is hidden, and it can also be a clue for us to solve the case.
One more point, why did this Wang Zhicheng fall for the Gu? Looking at the Gu techniques of this Gu are extremely similar to the Gu Girls of the past and their mysterious organization's Gu techniques, could it be that their people did it? What does it have to do with the facts of the case? However, I didn't tell them about this suspicion, but I just put a question mark in my heart.
After listening to the previous analysis, the officer said in agreement, "The analysis is in place, the technique is professional, it seems that there is no shortage of this business!" Then he asked, "But this Wang Zhicheng is like this, I'm afraid there will be no way to interrogate him if he brings it back!" ”
"Don't worry about this, as long as his Gu poison is expelled, it shouldn't be a big problem, as for the matter of driving Gu, leave it to me." I patted my chest and took the mess in a big way.
When Dachangtong heard me say this, he even clamored for me to take him as an apprentice, willing to saddle the horse for me, work hard and complain, just to learn a trick and a half.
I saw that I couldn't postpone him, so I said, "Then you can move Wang Zhicheng to your ship first." ”
"Ahh As soon as Dachangtong heard about this errand sent by me, his face turned white, and he said, "Move...... Move him? Then wait a minute, he won't bite me when he wakes up, right? Why don't we all add up this matter again? ”
As soon as the rest of us heard this, we first looked at me, I looked at you, and then unanimously looked at Dachangtong, who was reluctant. The officer spoke first, and he said, "Tong!" Who said just now that they were willing to work hard, before and after the saddle? How! Is this little thing exposing your lie? "Then I put a little pressure on Dachangtong, but Dachangtong still had no choice but to compromise.
But then again, what Dachangtong said just now is right, if Wang Zhicheng wakes up, it is indeed dangerous, so we tied him with iron chains, and Dachangtong also tore off a large piece of his torn clothes to block his mouth, so he carried Wang Zhicheng with peace of mind, staggered, and slowly left.
After Dachang left, the three of us went to the second floor of the hydropower station to check on the body of the undercover visitor, and when we first arrived on the second floor, the body of the undercover visitor was actually missing, and even the chain was missing.
"What about corpses? Didn't you say there were corpses in this too? The officer asked me as soon as he entered the room.
"Eighty percent of the murderers have moved the body, it seems that we are still one step too late." As I spoke, I showed the picture I had taken last night to the ghost and the officer.
"How do you think it's the murderer's corpse?" The officer asked me after looking at the picture.
"The murderer also came once last night, but I didn't catch him, he must have escaped through the window of this room, and it was this that I discovered that there was a strange ice lake behind the reeds." I paused for a moment before adding, "But there are a few things I can't figure out.
Officer Wei said: "Speak out, study research." ”
"First, judging from the situation of the corpse last night, the murderer killed the deceased first, then pulled him to the ice lake to freeze it, and then dragged it back and hung it, and it took the murderer less than 20 minutes before and after, so how did the murderer do it, I can't figure it out.
What I can't figure out is that the murderer actually hung the corpse, and why did he remove the corpse, isn't this a big move? If he wants to destroy the corpse, why didn't he throw the corpse into the ice lake last night, and then it would be over, and why did he do all these things? ”
Besides, why does the murderer always act one step ahead of me? It seems that the murderer knows my train of thought very well, so he walks ahead of me every step, but deliberately leaves a little flaw for me, as if he is leading me by the nose.
After listening to this, the officer continued with my words, "I didn't understand the two points you said earlier, but as far as the third point is concerned, usually this situation is that the murderer is watching you by your side, so he understands your every move. Officer Wei said and sighed, "This kind of thing is not something that can be figured out in a moment, don't let it interfere, let's take a look at the terrain first and see if there are any new clues." As he spoke, he walked slowly to the window.
In broad daylight, I can see the glacial lake and the reed field at such a height, and such a wide field of vision immediately made me realize that the reed field is wrong, the layout is particularly strange, and the glacial lake does not look like it grows naturally, but more like it is artificially planted, looking at this layout as if I am drawing a picture.
"Come and see!" Just as I was engrossed in observing the reeds, the ghost called out to us.
I saw him crouching under the place where the body had been lifted, as if he had found something, so I took a picture of the reeds with my phone and walked over.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"There are footprints in the ashes of the ground!" As soon as the ghost spoke, I added, "This is from last night's murderer." ”
"When I used to be a special soldier, I learned a skill to judge people's height and weight by footprints." As he spoke, the ghost used his finger to measure the size of the footprints, and then said, "It seems that this person is about 1.75 to 1.8 meters tall, and his weight should be relatively heavy. ”
"Oh! By the way, I almost forgot that the murderer may have known the deceased. "While the ghost was analyzing the footprints, I suddenly remembered the problem I had analyzed with Dachang Tong last night.
When Officer Wei heard this, he felt that this was an important clue
Immediately asked me, "How do you know?" ”
I showed the officer and the ghost the picture I had taken of the deceased's eyes the previous night, and told them my reasoning, and they both thought it was very likely.
In particular, the officer Wei immediately looked at me and the ghost with admiration, "You two are not simple, although the contact time is not long, but from your arrest of Wang Zhicheng to your clear analysis, I have to admire, if you can serve the people and the police * bureau, then the society will not be more safe and less dangerous." ”
This officer guard can't really fucking be recruited, right? Why do you always love to poach people? Let's not talk about the ghost, but if I have a character like me who goes to the bureau to eat the job of a public servant, it is estimated that there are two possibilities, one is that I will be killed by the rules within a few days of entering, or the boss can be angry to death by my temper.
For the officer's words, the ghost and I just smiled at each other and didn't say a word, in fact, I understood that the ghost kid was thinking about the position of "Captain of the Underworld" that Shanzi said.
Seeing the reaction of me and the ghost, the officer Wei also understood that we didn't want to eat this bowl of rice, so he sighed, "Understood! You private detectives are used to freedom, and you can't stand our rules and regulations. Saying that, he stretched out his hands and shook hands, "Then I hope we have a happy cooperation this time." ”
After I exchanged courtesy with the ghost, the two of us discussed the case, and I first asked, "Health Bureau, you said earlier that Zheng Dong and Wang Zhicheng used to be partners in this hydropower station, and then they disappeared one after another after the hydropower station collapsed, right?" ”
"Hmmm! That is true. Officer Wei pushed his glasses, "But I don't know much about the specific situation, I have only been in Dachang for a year, and I also heard from Dachangtong, and I heard it from colleagues in the bureau." ”
"Let's put this down first, and I'll find Dachangtong to understand when I go back, and now there is a more important thing that may be more convenient for you to do in the Health Bureau." Before I could say what was going on, the officer interrupted me and said, "Do you want me to investigate whether the person who died in this house is related to Zheng Dong and Wang Zhicheng, do you know each other?" ”
"Looks like we're on the same page!" I smiled.
Officer Wei also responded to me with the same feeling: "Hehe! It seems that Detective Wu also thinks that if all three of them know each other, it is likely to be a revenge murder? ”
I nodded slightly, snorted in a nasal voice, and added, "This is just a guess, and it's a clue that I think is relatively quick at the moment." ”
"Health Bureau, can you actually check the information of this strong man who knows him by the way, especially those who have a good relationship and usually get very close? Because judging from the expression of the deceased, it is likely that he was poisoned by an acquaintance. ”
Officer Wei is a direct and cheerful person, and agreed without hesitation, "Look at what you said, what else can you do, this matter happens within my jurisdiction is my business, it should be thanks to the two of you civil masters for your assistance in the investigation." ”
"But you have to send me the photos of the dead in your phone, and now only you have these materials in your phone." As he spoke, Officer Wei took out his mobile phone and opened the QR code of his WeChat.
After adding the WeChat of the officer, the three of us each looked at the scene of the crime, and the ghost observed and studied on the wall where there were still mathematical formulas. ”
The ghost shook his head slightly, and his tone was heavy, "No! It's so difficult, the person who wrote this formula is either a genius or a madman, and he doesn't know what his brain is. After finishing speaking, he seemed to have some eyebrows, and he said with some certainty, "But it seems to be some kind of high-secret building." As he spoke, he couldn't help but fall into a moment of contemplation, muttering to himself, "What the hell is this?" ”
The officer also heard our conversation, and as he got closer, he said, "There is only one step between a genius and a madman, and many murderers are geniuses and madmen. Then he motioned for us to go back and said, "Okay, let's go, it looks like we're going to have a busy time." ”
Then we reluctantly went home, and when we reached the river, I saw that the ghost's eyes deliberately lingered on Hal for a while.
