Since the ghost, Lan Xin, and Wang Zhicheng, who had fallen into the dog Gu, were all waiting for the antidote, we just chatted a few words and went home.

The gondolier's body had been burned by the ghost and the blue core, and after a brief disposition, we drove back in the gondolier's boat. When I arrived in Dachang Town, I immediately contacted the officer and asked him to come out to meet.

When I arrived at the place where we had an appointment, I saw that the officer was listless, as if he hadn't woken up, he was originally polite and attached to his image, and he would wax when he went out, but now his hair seemed to be messy like a chicken nest, and the beard on the side of his mouth also had prickly heads, and the whole spectacle lens looked greasy, and he yawned when he first met.

"Guard, what did you do last night? Why did you kill Matt like this. Seeing this, I couldn't help but tease him.

The officer was also shocked when he saw me appear in the shape of a pirate one-eyed dragon, and was stunned for a long time before responding, "As a model of the police * team, what bad things can I do, didn't I help you check Mayor Guo's file, I didn't sleep all night after checking it." After speaking, he took off his glasses, wiped them with his clothes, and said, "Don't think that your current image can be so good, look at you, what kind of look, do you really think you are a Pirate of the Caribbean?" While speaking, the glasses were also polished, and while putting them on, he added, "Talking about business, how are you doing over there?" Why did you go all night? Then he committed an occupational disease, looked at the fat man with suspicious eyes, and brought someone back. ”

Because I tossed the fat man with the fat man in the bandit ditch for a night, the image is naturally not much better, and the officer guard is also very conspicuous, every time someone passes by the door of this store, there will be a return rate, so I reminded the officer guard, "This is not the place to talk about things, let's go in and talk." ”

When I arrived at the coffee house, I briefly explained to the officer how I found the fat man, and he said thoughtfully, "It seems that this is not as simple as the kidnapping case on the surface, I guess there may be some conspiracy here, it seems that I have to step up the investigation of people." ”

I said, "The Guardian Bureau, then please." ”

"It should be, it should be" Officer Wei took a sip of coffee to refresh himself, and was about to tell me about his discovery, but I interrupted, after all, it was a dead person, and this matter of human life should not be underestimated.

"The Guardian Bureau! I have sad news that the boatman is dead! After I finished saying it word by word, the officer Wei, who was still sleepy, suddenly became energetic, his whole eyes widened, and he was obviously angry He put down the cup heavily, this move affected other customers, so he suppressed his voice and said angrily, "Wu Nian!" What do you kid do, how did a good person die, do you want my black gauze hat to be unsafe? ”

I knew that I was wrong, so I didn't dare to refute it, but Lan Xin couldn't stand it, and in order not to alarm the people on the side, she also lowered her voice, "What do you want to do, old guard?" It's weird indiscriminately, I was also present in this operation, the boatman died under the Gu worms, and we have no power to return to the sky, what! Do you want to blame me too? ”

As soon as Lan Xin spoke, Officer Wei's attitude softened significantly, "Lan Xin! What are you talking about, it's just that the city already knows about this case, how do you ask me to write a report? ”

"What's the report, I've been investigating the strange case for so many years, which strange case hasn't killed anyone, I'll write the report for you." Lan Xin calmed down as he spoke, and then continued, "Now we can only solve this case before we can explain." ”

Officer Wei is not a very unreasonable person, and after learning the ins and outs of the boatman's death, he also reasoned down, "Okay! I can't blame you for this, but you have to make sure that there are no more casualties, and that the case must be solved as soon as possible. ”

I saw that the officer was rational, so I asked him how he did last night. Did you find anything? Officer Wei's sad face, his tone was heavy, and he said mysteriously, "There are too!" Nor did it. ”

"What is this called? Is there or no? Lan Xin on the side asked more bluntly.

"I say so, Mayor Guo's original name is Guo Feng, although he is a Wushan County household registration but his ancestral home is Miao, died in a fire two years ago, at the age of forty, he was a well-known mathematical geek in school since he was a child, his mathematical logic is the opposite of ordinary people, to high school, his science is even more outstanding, one of the few leaders, especially biology is his own unique opinion, high school he likes to raise some animals to study.

Later, as a special enrollment, he was recruited by the medical school of Tsinghua University, and studied abroad as an exchange student, and volunteered to Dachang Town as the mayor after graduation. ”

According to the archives, on the day of the fire in Guo's house, two relatives came, but the police only found three bodies that year, but the Guo family was originally a family of three, which means that there should have been two more, but there were few, and the three bodies were also stolen and are still missing. ”

"And Hal has no files in our police station, not even basic information, as if he is a person who came out of nowhere, but everyone within a radius of Dachang Town knows that he suddenly appeared two years ago and was taken by Dachang Tong into the business of driving a boat.

Let's talk about this Dachangtong, I myself am a little familiar with him, a native of the local, when I was just transferred here as the director, it was to take the boat of Dachangtong, he is twenty-five this year, no wife and children, and lives in a small village about six miles west of the ancient town, the village is the earliest batch of Miao people in Dachang Town, the basic situation is like this. ”

Officer Wei said this, his brows furrowed thoughtfully, "But I feel like something is missing, but what is it?" Could it be that I missed something? ”

Everyone looked at each other, no one spoke for a while, after a while, Lan Xin said, "Lao Wei, you are confused, you are really careless, you should thoroughly check the information of Dachangtong, how can you analyze his situation with your understanding, the more these suspicious acquaintances, the more you have to investigate thoroughly, because your subjective consciousness and your emotions will mislead your rational judgment, I also made the same mistake two years ago, I suggest that you put the relationship between Mayor Guo, Dachangtong and Ha'er together, there should be new discoveries." ”

Hearing this, I have vaguely found some suspicious suspicions, this Dachangtong and Mayor Guo are both Miao people, and those manuscripts in the cave of Juganggou mention the ancestor of the Miao people, "Gu Girl", I think this should not be accidental, and there is another point! Ha'er's appearance happened to be the time after the death of Mayor Guo's family, so are these accidental or inevitable? Besides, how could such a superb student come to a remote town to be the mayor? It can't really be just volunteers, and the formula for the hydropower station is what he listed?

It seems that the hanging coffin on the cliff has the clues I want, and I must go to the coffin for an autopsy as soon as possible.

But the top priority is to first detoxify the ghost and Lan Xin and Wang Zhicheng's Gu poison, and after I told him thousands of times, the officer guard took the herbs away, and promised that he would go to the Chinese medicine store to decoct the medicine according to the request I just said, and I also asked the ghost and Lan Xin to go with them, because this medicine to cure dragon lice Gu would be better if it was hot.

After everyone dispersed, I went back to the hotel with the fat man first, on the way I found an advertising store, and as an assistant to the officer, let the advertising shop print out all the photos in my mobile phone, the officer Wei is the head of the famous police * inspection bureau in this Dachang town, so the store manager did not ask me why the photos are some horror pictures.

After returning to the hotel, the fat man hurriedly ran to take a bath, and complained that in order to find me, he had not been happy for several days, and took a hot bath comfortably, and I was too lazy to take care of him, so I found a wall with all the printed pictures, posted them all, and marked out all the clues one by one with a marker.

After taking a bath, the fat man walked up to me with a bath towel and a cigarette in his mouth, and teased, "Yo Yo Yo! What about the work of the great detective Wu Nian? ”

I didn't bother to look at him, and squeezed out a word from the side of my mouth, "Get out——! Then proceed to analyze the leads. The fat man belongs to the kind of person who has the habit of arguing with me, not the kind of person who can't figure it out, so the second sentence is to get down to business: "How's that?" What's new? ”

I didn't answer him directly, but first touched my pocket and found that my cigarette was finished, so I habitually snatched the fat man's cigarette, took a puff, and then pointed to the photos on the wall, "You look at these two manuscripts, one was taken on the wall of the deceased's room at the hydropower station, and the other was found in the cave of Juganggou, these are some sophisticated mathematical formulas, and the Health Bureau said that Mayor Guo is a mathematical wizard, so I suspect that these two formulas should be from Mayor Guo's hand." ”

The fat man nodded in agreement, but also asked the question, "So what is he doing?" And why does one of these formulas appear in a hydropower station and the other in a cave in Juganggou? ”

Faced with the fat man's first question, I just looked at the fat man with a meaningful look: "What's under the hydropower station?" ”

"There's a tomb!" As soon as the fat man finished speaking, he suddenly realized his words, let out a long "oh", and said excitedly, "He is calculating the size of the hydropower station." ”

Suddenly, I choked on the fat man's answer, and almost vomited old blood, "You're sick!" I can calculate the area of the hydropower station, do I still need to use such complex formulas and algorithms? I ......", before I finished speaking, the fat man looked at me proudly, and interrupted, "Are you stupid?" The fat man is teasing you, to be serious, I estimate that he should be the whole shape of the tomb and the basic direction of the poison gas mechanism, although I am not good at mathematics, but everyone knows that anything has a probability, and this probability is in mathematics, mathematics can study quantity, structure, change, space and information and so on. ”

"That's right! If our speculation is correct, then the glacial lake and reed fields next to the hydropower station should also have nothing to do with Mayor Guo, and I estimate that the so-called quarrel between Mayor Guo and those investors two years ago should have been just a joke for others to see. The fat man was surprised when I said this, and asked, "Wang!" How can you see that? ”

I pointed to the picture on the clue wall, "This is also the question you just asked, look at this, this one I took from the deceased's room, we have seen that room more than once, and we all concluded that it was the office, if I am not wrong, this office is afraid that this office was the office of Mayor Guo before his death." ”

When the fat man heard this, he followed my words and said, "Then if you say so, those manuscripts of Juganggou should also be Mayor Guo, but why does he have two offices?" Could it be that he wanted to hide from those investors, but after he was discovered, he was poisoned, and the investors directly burned his house. After the fat man finished speaking, he said to himself, "I think it's very likely." ”

I took the last puff of my cigarette and said, "Can this also be a motive for killing?" ”

The fat man continued, "Then tell me why there are two fewer corpses?" Didn't the Guo family have two relatives on the day of the crime, it should be five, and what is even stranger is that the three were also gone, how can this be explained? ”

"That's exactly the clue I just wanted to find, and it's easy to explain." As I spoke, I pointed to the photo of Ha'er on the clue wall, "The answer is in him, the Health Bureau also said earlier, Ha'er does not have any files in Dachang Town, and it happens that his appearance is not long after Mayor Guo's death, so I suspect that his identity as an orphan is fake, Dachangtong also told me before that he was disfigured because of a fire." ”

"Think about it! The fire, the disappearance of Mayor Guo's body, and the mysterious Harr, what do you think of? ”

The fat man clapped his hands, "Could it be that you suspect that Ha'er is Mayor Guo, he faked his death, and it happened that he went to his relatives to be a substitute for him as a ghost, and later he destroyed his body." Saying that, the fat man shouted, "Wonderful! Your kid's thinking is getting clearer and clearer, catch up with the detective. ”

In fact, it is very simple to know if I guessed right, the fat man said that Mayor Guo is born with long and short feet, and it will be over when I and the fat man go to the autopsy, as soon as I think of this, I said to the fat man, "Xu Fatty, how are you doing?" When will the coffin be opened without flushing the gas? ”

"Coincidentally, let me tell you, I calculated a hexagram when I took a bath just now, as the hexagram said, tomorrow is a good day to open the coffin." The fat man said and changed his clothes in front of me, "Let's go!" Come with me to the street and buy something. ”

Before I went out, I simply cleaned up myself, and when I washed my eyes, I found that the swollen eyes had completely disappeared, and my eyelids moved freely, and it seemed that the scorpion venom really had no effect on me.

After I came to the street with the fat man, according to the fat man's purchase, we need to buy iron chains, iron hooks, pryers, pulleys, hemp ropes and masks, etc., which are the basic tools for opening the coffin, and we also need yellow paper, sand, ink fountains and a little glutinous rice, which are needed to open the coffin to ward off evil spirits, and finally we also need to buy climbing ropes and some tools needed for rock climbing.

According to the needs of us first from the climbing tools to buy, then is the tool to avoid evil, and finally to buy basic tools, just to the hardware store I have not stepped into the store when I saw a medium height, thick people in the boss communication, from the back I recognized this person is Dachangtong, see this I immediately pulled the fat man to hide and secretly observe, Dachangtong did not know what to buy, only to see his big bag of small bags from the hardware store out, and so he went away after I and the fat man went in to purchase, the fat man in the pick guy when I asked the boss a cigarette, inquired "boss!" Let me ask you something, the person who just went out is our friend, we went out separately to buy, what did he buy? Don't wait, we're going to buy it heavy. As he spoke, he hurriedly lit a cigarette for the boss.

The boss was not jealous, took the cigarette and the fire, and took a puff of "Oh! You make sense, that baby just bought a probe shovel. ”

"Shovel? What is it? When I secretly said in my heart, in order not to let the boss see that I didn't understand, I deliberately said, "Boss! You show me, I'll see if he made a mistake. ”

"Gotta get! Wait a minute! The boss turned around to look for it, and it turned out that he brought several rebar pipes, each of which was almost half a meter long, which could be sleeved layer by layer and extended at will, except for a different steel pipe with a U-shaped semicircle of about two inches.

I also saw it when I took a look, and he gave me a look, which meant to say it, and then he paid for the tools he had selected and left the hardware store with me, and as soon as the fat man went out, he said to me in a low voice, "Wang!" Do you know what that shovel is? ”

I shook my head honestly, and the fat man said affirmatively, "That's Luoyang shovel!" Used to measure the quality of the underground soil, when I was a child, a friend of my father told me that there are no more than three kinds of people who will use this Luoyang shovel, one is engaged in engineering, or archaeology, and the last is tomb robbers, and now those who are engaged in engineering are measured with high-tech instruments, and archaeology and tomb robbery are left. ”

As soon as the fat man said this, it suddenly dawned on me, it seems that Dachangtong has been eyeing the tomb under the hydropower station for more than a day or two, no wonder he is so familiar with the hydropower station.
