Book 2: The Bronze Hanging Coffin of the Ba People Chapter 13: The July Ice Lake

As I spoke, I strode towards the ghost, and as soon as I arrived, the ghost, who was already impatient, asked, "Where did you go?" Leave a bird-eating spider coordinate chart and play disappear. ”

"Something's wrong!" As I spoke, I pulled the ghost and motioned for him to walk and said, "This is not the place to talk about things, go to your hotel." ”

After arriving at the hotel, as soon as the ghost door closed, he said, "What the hell is going on?" You're just coming to the hotel with me so openly, aren't you afraid of those stalkers? ”

I opened a bottle of mineral water from the table, poured two sips, and then sat on the bed, sighed long, and said unhurriedly, "I guess they don't have the time to care about us." ”。

"What do you mean by that?" The ghost was in a hurry.

I should say, "Their leader has died, do you think they are in the mood to care about us next?" ”

"What?!" The ghost's reaction was similar to what I had imagined, except that surprise was surprise, and then he said, "When?" Was it just when you disappeared? ”

"Hmm!" I took another sip of water, "And it's a bizarre death." ”

"Tell me about the specifics." As he spoke, the ghost moved a chair and sat down in front of me.

I told him what had happened, and the ghost thought for a moment before he said, "According to you, the reason why the corpse of the undercover visitor is cold is because of the strange icy lake?" ”

I nodded affirmatively for six or seven points, and said, "I guess it is, otherwise I can't explain it, think about it, even if the corpse dies for a long time, it can't be ice, and it's still summer, how can the corpse be ice in such a high temperature?" So I think the only possibility is that the corpse has soaked in the glacial lake. ”

"There is some truth to it!" The ghost muttered a nod to himself, and then, as if suddenly it occurred to him, raised his voice slightly and said, "That's not right either!" If you think about it, the murderer dragged the corpse out to soak in the ice lake after completing the murder, and then dragged it back and hung it up, let's not say how long the corpse had to soak before it could cause ice, let's just say that it would take at least half an hour to complete the process, but you only waited outside for less than 20 minutes before you went in, less than 20 minutes! At this point, he emphasized the brevity of time, and then added, "Do you think it is possible?" The ghost paused, thoughtfully, and then said, "Unless...... Unless the killer has already killed the raider and then soaked in the ice lake until you arrive, he will scoop the body out of the ice lake and hang it. ”

"Impossible!" I said with certainty, "I went to the hydropower station because I followed the undercover visitor, so how could the covert visitor have died long ago?" Also, how will the murderer know when I will be at the hydropower station? Doesn't that make sense? ”

The ghost thought for a moment and said, "Also! In other words, it took the murderer less than twenty minutes to complete all of this, so how did he do it? God, can't you? You must know that you yourself said that there are no stairs in the room on the second floor, and it is very good to be able to do it in half an hour, let alone such a short time without twenty minutes. ”

"Yes! How did the murderer manage to complete this in less than twenty minutes? I muttered to myself, asking myself.

The ghost on the side raised another unbelievable doubt, "Wang! Let's not talk about how the murderer did it, let's talk about what is the purpose of doing this, it is nothing more than to cover up the correct time of death of the deceased, so what does the murderer want to hide? One more point, why didn't the murderer destroy the corpse? Why do you have to leave the corpse for you to see? Don't you think there's too much doubt in this? ”

"That's right! Why didn't the murderer destroy the corpse, and as the ghost said, the corpse would freeze, so it must have been fished out of the ice lake shortly before I appeared, so how did the murderer know when I appeared? Suddenly these questions buzzed in my head, and it hurt my brain to think about it.

At this moment, the ghost, who had been thinking silently, seemed to see something, and he pointed to the edge of my shoe and asked, "This mud is from the hydropower station?" ”

When I saw that there was a little bit of mud on the edge of my shoe, I said, "Hmm! It should be. ”

The ghost immediately got some mud from my shoe and put it on his fingers, rubbed it, then sniffed it, then frowned, his eyes floated, and he was silent thoughtfully.

But when I asked him what was wrong? He just replied lightly, "It's nothing, it's just out of the habit left over from the previous time when I was a special soldier." ”

"Habit?" I secretly said to myself, "What kind of habit is this?" Wrong! This ghost of death is definitely hiding something from me. But because he didn't want to say it, I didn't want to make it difficult for me.

I showed the picture of the deceased to the ghost, and when the ghost flipped to the picture that was all numbers, I looked twice, and from his eyes I knew what this kid should know, so I tentatively asked, "What?" Do you see something? ”

The ghost looked at it and said, "Although most of these numbers have been torn off, it's not hard to see that these are all mathematical formulas. ”

", huh?" I hurriedly snatched my phone, glanced at it, and said, "Lao Wang, although I know that I can't do science, but the mathematical formula doesn't look like this, can you be sure?" ”

The ghost replied with a serious face, and without the slightest joke, "Nonsense! I've eaten the job of a sniper for so many years, and I can't be wrong about this thing. In order to strengthen the persuasion, the ghost added, "Most people think that snipers can do it as long as they have good marksmanship, but this is very wrong, as a sniper, you must know how to calculate, from the weight of the bullet, flight speed, target distance, wind direction, air humidity, etc., but the factors that will affect the trajectory need to be calculated." I've done a lot of research on this before, so I've seen a lot of mathematical formulas. ”

That's true, snipers do have to know how to calculate these.

After listening to this, I asked, "Then why do these special mathematical formulas appear in this hydropower station?" Who wrote it, and what is it counting? ”

The ghost shook his head blankly with a blank look in his eyes, and said, "I don't know! This is a relatively complex Olympiad, and it is beyond my ability to deliberately use reverse thinking to calculate. ”

I didn't know what to say for a while, and after a moment of silence, the ghost seemed to suddenly think of something urgent, and once again opened the conversation, "Oh no, this is a big trouble!" If the kidnappers and their leaders are dead, then they should have no intention of connecting with us, so that it will be even more difficult for us to find the fat man, and they will become clueless and directionless. ”

In fact, what the ghost said is exactly what I am worried about, but I always feel that the death of the undercover visitor is not simple, if the cause of his death is found out, it should be helpful for us to find the fat man, because a person died for no reason, and died so bizarrely, there must be a lot of articles behind this.

I told the ghost my thoughts, and it was in vain to look for them like a headless fly, so it was better to start from the direction where there were signs, and then draw inferences, so that many things could be traced, which is also my Wu Nian's style.

The ghost agreed, and he frowned and said, "Okay! I see that it's getting late now, and it's inconvenient to move, so let's go to sleep first, and wait for tomorrow morning to go to the abandoned hydropower station you said to look for it, maybe there are new clues. ”

I made an OK gesture, but before I could speak, I just raised my hand, and the ghost seemed to see something in my hand, and suddenly his eyes widened, and he grabbed my hand and asked, "How is this?" ”

When I looked at it, I didn't know when there were a few more bloody wounds on my hands, slender and long, but not painful, so I never noticed it, if it wasn't for the ghost to see it, I don't know when I would find it.

"I don't know, it's not painful," I said as I touched the slender bloody wound on my hand, recalled it, and said, "I guess I just accidentally scratched some sharp grass in the grass, right?" ”

"Not like! I've been a sniper for so many years, and I've been crawling in the jungle for so long, and I can still make out the wounds cut by the plants. The ghost looked at my wound worriedly.

"Alright! Anyway, I don't feel anything, I'm a big man, don't be squeamish, hurry up and go to bed, I still have something to do tomorrow morning. "With that, I'll chase the ghost to wash up and sleep.

Next! As soon as the day was polished, I was woken up by the ghost, although the ghost was discharged, but still retained the fine tradition of the soldier getting up early, unlike me, people are groggy and sleepy, but the heart and spirit are still asleep in bed.

After washing, I was going to call Dachangtong and ask him to take us to the abandoned hydropower station, but I couldn't see the business card he gave me last night.

After looking at me like a headless fly for a long time, the ghost couldn't help but ask, "Did you fall off the hydropower station last night?" ”

"It's hard to say, I made a move with Hal last night, maybe it will be lost." Saying that, I pushed the ghost and walked out the door, "Regardless of it, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and there are other boats on the other side of the ferry, it's okay, let's go first." ”

We were anxious to hurry to the hydropower station, so we walked like a fly, three steps and two steps, and within half an hour, we had arrived at this ferry.

Because I came early, before the ferry started, I saw several speedboats side by side on the river, and I didn't see the master who drove the boat, which made me so anxious that I stomped my fists and feet, "Hey! Damn, we're here early, and we don't have anyone to drive the boat, so why don't we wait here? ”

The ghost was also in a hurry, but he couldn't do anything, he could only watch me depressedly smoking, I smoked while gently kicking the boat with my foot, passing the time, kicking and kicking Suddenly the ghost patted me on the shoulder coldly, and said in a tense atmosphere, "Wang!" Look, there's something moving on this boat. ”

I looked at it, there was really something moving under the tarpaulin on the bow of the boat, looking at the size of the body is still very large, the thing under the tarpaulin may have been frightened by the fact that I had just kicked the boat, and it has slowly gotten up from the tarpaulin, only to see the tarpaulin getting higher and higher.

"I'm grass! What the hell? "I was leaning on the side of the boat, and I was really shocked when I saw this scene.

"I don't know! Let's see. The ghost couldn't help but get nervous.

Soon! The moving thing in the tent reveals its true face, it turns out to be Ha'er! Ha'er seemed to have just woken up, stretching her waist and yawning, looking tired, and then when she saw me, she screamed "ha-ha", and waved her hands enthusiastically.

As soon as I saw that it was Harr, or that he looked like this, I immediately knew that he must be sleeping on the boat, so I asked, "Ha'er!" How do you sleep here? Don't you go home to sleep? ”

As soon as Ha Er heard what I said, he hurriedly screamed "Ha-Ha", and danced with me to "communicate", although the flesh on his face smiled, but his eyes couldn't help but reveal a trace of sadness, and there seemed to be faint tears, looking at him so that I remembered that Dachangtong said, Ha Er is an orphan, fatherless and motherless, where did he come from? Suddenly I realized that Hal must have taken the boat as his home, looking at the stupid big H'er, I couldn't help but feel pity, and I felt inexplicably indescribable in my heart.

"Lao Wang! Do you have any money? I'm six or seven hundred. I pulled money out of my wallet and asked the ghost for it.

The ghost was attentive, and immediately understood my intentions, and without saying a word, he took out a thousand and stuffed it to me, and I gave the money to Ha'er, "Ha'er, that's all there is to it, brother, you take it, and then take us to last night's place by the way, okay?" ”

Hal kept pushing the money outward, and waved his hand straight, no matter how he didn't accept the money, I went back and forth with him, and I didn't force him, and the ghost on the side saw that it was a waste of time for the two of us, so he stepped forward and grabbed the money, forced it to Ha'er, and said, "Brother! Let's do this, you take this money first, we won't give it in vain, and we will use your boat in the future, our brothers are in a hurry, can you give us a ride first? ”

It's still the ghost who has the ability, and he can get it done at once, so that he can collect money and do things immediately.

Ha'er seems to be very familiar with the road to the abandoned hydropower station, familiar with the road, and has not missed it all the way, which makes me somewhat surprised, because Dachangtong said that the hydropower station, since it was abandoned two years ago, has found a few strange things, since then the locals have forgotten its existence, few people still remember the road, except for the very one.

I also came here once last night, but now I think back that the route is basically blank, because this waterway is different from the land route, there are not so many landmark buildings, and as soon as it is close to the hydropower station, there is a section of the road is full of smoke, which is particularly difficult to distinguish the direction, and the "time-sharing orientation" technique has not been folded, because there is no reference, but even so, Hal is still so familiar with the road, is it possible that he often haunts here?

During my guessing, Hal had already docked the boat, and after discussion, we asked Hal to stay on the boat and wait for us, anyway, he had already helped if he could, and it was not very convenient to communicate with him, so there was no need to follow us.

After getting off the boat, I went directly to the hydropower station with the ghost, and when I passed the ice lake on the way, the ghost stopped me: "Wang! Where did you get the mud on your shoes last night? I haven't seen any wet mud along the way. ”

I pointed in the direction of the glacial lake and said, "That's it!" You will reach it through this field of reeds. ”

"Let's go! Go and see," the ghost said, and let me lead the way.

Because it is broad daylight, as soon as you arrive at the ground, the whole shape of the glacial lake and the surrounding environment will be unobstructed, it is strange to say, the shape of this lake is very peculiar, it is not a circle, the edge of the lake is angular and angular, this look knows that there are traces of artificiality, it is not that this lake is built by man, what is the purpose?

When he was about to talk to the ghost, he squatted on the wet mud and sniffed it between his nose with his fingers, and then deliberately wiped some mud on the edge of his shoe.

"Lao Wang, what are you doing?" I didn't understand which ghost was playing, so I couldn't help but ask.

"It's nothing, it's just a little bit of a puzzle that I haven't figured it out, so I want to figure it out." The ghost deliberately didn't make it clear and sold it out.

I'm anxious, I can't see him like this, so I ask him endlessly if he doesn't have anything to sort out, and everyone discusses and discusses it when he says it, and maybe he understands.

But the ghost kid just said, "You'll know what I'm saying when you get back," and then changed the subject by wanting to see the corpses in the ice lake.

Look at it, anyway, I want to see the suspicious corpse again, maybe I will see some doorways when I look at it again, and I will move to the lake, and I will pull the chain when I find it, but this time the chain is very light, not as heavy as last night.

Instantly I felt that something was wrong, and at the thought of this I pulled the chain out of the lake more neatly, and to my surprise the corpse was gone, or rather the flesh of the corpse was gone, and only a skeleton and the tattered clothes on the bones remained.
