Book 2: The Bronze Hanging Coffin of the Ba People Chapter 17: Mayor Guo

When I returned to the hotel, I deliberately asked the ghost without deliberately pretending, "Lao Wang, why did you keep staring at other people's homes when you came back just now?" How? Does he scare you? ”

Because Dachang, which belongs to Chongqing, is also as hot as a stove in the summer, the ghost took off his T-shirt, revealing his many wounds, tiger back, shaped, wired, and perfect muscular body, turned on the air conditioner, sat opposite me, and said, "But it's true, Na Ha'er is really scary, and at first glance it is really unrecognizable." ”

I should have told me that he had experienced a fire before and almost died, and although he had recovered his life, his face was disfigured, and his IQ was a bit problematic, and he was basically an imbecile. ”

The ghost muttered, "Oh! No wonder! ”

"What about you kid changing the subject?" As I spoke, I lit a cigarette, "You haven't said it yet, why did you just stare at people?" ”

The ghost didn't answer me directly, but just took his shoes, pointed to the mud on them, and asked me, "Did you find a problem?" ”

I took a deep puff of my cigarette and said, "Yes!" You're crazy, you just put your mud foam shoes on with your hands, and you didn't say anything when I asked you why you were doing. ”

Seeing that I wasn't in shape, the ghost said a little seriously, "I'm not kidding you, take a good look at the special features of this mud, is it slow?" And what is the difference between it and ordinary mud after drying? ”

Reminded by the ghost, don't say that this mud does dry slowly, and it is gray and white after drying, and it can also stick to the shoes, this mud is called black mud, I used to study art when I did a period of sculpture for a period of time but did not touch this black mud, black mud is characterized by high plasticity so it is not easy to crack, not as easy to crack as ordinary mud, and although it absorbs more heat but dissipates less so it has good moisturizing properties, not easy to dry, and it is particularly viscous and sticky, once it sticks to the object as long as it is not deliberately taken, it is not easy to fall.

I reached out and rubbed a little mud from the ghost's shoe and rubbed it on my fingers, but before it was completely dry, I was sure it was black mud again.

When the ghost saw that the mud was black mud, he said, "Do you know who else I saw in your shoes after you came back yesterday?" ”

"Who?"

"Ha'er and Dachangtong!" The ghost said word by word, "And I have also observed, the only place we walked over the abandoned hydropower station was the shore of the glacial lake with this black mud, what does this mean, it means that they also appeared in the glacial lake last night." ”

"How can this be?!" I took a deep breath of cigarette and frowned slightly, "Dachangtong appeared in the ice lake with me last night, and it is normal to have mud on his shoes." ”

The ghost said, "But here's the problem, you know, I've observed, the black mud on Dachangtong's shoes is divided into two layers, although I didn't touch it with my hands, but look at the color, the black mud under him is the same color as the color on your shoes last night, that is, when you two chased the footprints to the lake, but the black mud on the previous layer was obviously glued earlier, which means that he has been to the ice lake once before you, so what can he do?" ”

The ghost's remark reminded me that I had indeed been separated from Dachangtong at the hydropower station for a while last night, and that we were in the hydropower station when we met again, but he explained that he had met me at the hydropower station because he was following a dark shadow.

The ghost said, "There is another point, Hal is about 1.8 meters tall, and Tong's height is about 1.77 meters, and both of them are relatively burly, which is in line with the height and weight of the owner who left footprints." ”

"What do you mean......" I deliberately asked the ghost halfway through my sentence.

"It's hard to say, although I don't dare to say if the murderer is one of the two of them, but I dare to conclude that they have ghosts." At this point, the ghost asked me, "What do you think?" ”

I pondered for a moment before responding, "It's hard to say, although they both seem suspicious on the surface, but they are full of suspicions, think about it, Dachangtong left me for about ten minutes, then he doesn't have the ability to kill someone and then pull the body out and back again, and what is his motive for killing?"

And H'er, I've been in contact with him once, his IQ is indeed a bit low, and his body language is not clear, how do you think he can design such a seamless murder puzzle?

Besides, neither of them is lame, so I don't think it's too hasty, this kind of thing must be based on conclusive evidence, otherwise it will be another life, or a wrongful life.

But then again, let's just be on guard," I said as I extinguished my cigarette butt and changed my sitting position.

The ghost also said at this time, "Wang! Actually, I think there is a lot of problems with the abandoned hydropower station, let's not talk about the bizarre ice lake, let's talk about the weedy field next to the hydropower station, you say, who will dig a well next to the hydropower station, and a dozen are not one but several, like a minefield, don't you think this thing is strange? ”

I took the ghost's words and then said, "Don't say it, that place is very evil, I took a look at the feng shui there, and guess what, that place is the "door of death" in feng shui, not surprising that it is fake. ”

Since the ghost does not understand Feng Shui, I briefly introduced to him what is a bad door, which is not good for auspicious things, and it is only suitable to hang for funeral, torture and fighting, and hunting. ”

It was the ghost mentioning this topic that reminded me of the strange plant I picked up on the road last night when Dachang and I took a shortcut to the hydropower station, which is still in my bag, and I took it out and showed it to the ghost.

"What is this?" The ghost had never seen such a strange plant.

"I think I've seen this thing somewhere before, but I can't remember it now." I frowned bitterly, racking my brains, but I couldn't remember, and the ghost sat quietly beside me, looking at me with a sad face.

I really couldn't think of it, so I sighed and said, "If only Uncle Nine were here, his old man would definitely be able to see what this was at a glance." ”

"Why don't you send him a WeChat picture and let him help you see it." The ghost next to him got up as he spoke.

After sending the picture to Uncle Nine, I saw that the ghost had gotten up and wanted to go out, so I asked, "Where are you going?" ”

"Let's go, isn't it noon now, go to Dachangtong to find out about the abandoned hydropower station before." The ghost opened the door and walked out, and I followed.

Although Dachang Ancient Town is a five-A tourist attraction area, it is not big, it is a pocket ancient city of "four doors can be called, one light illuminates the whole city", covering an area of about 10 hectares, the east and west main streets are about 350 meters long, and the north and south are about 200 meters long.

The original ancient town was submerged after the Three Gorges Dam began to impound, so now the ancient town we see is built according to the original appearance, because of the strange death of the secret visitor, so that the original "paparazzi" who followed us basically did not care about us, this ghost has long been investigated, so we are now unscrupulous, swaggering in this blue bricks and tiles, double-barrel eaves, cornices and corners, carved beams and painted buildings, wooden faΓ§ade of the ancient town.

But then again, the only way to find the fat man now is to quickly find out the cause of the undercover visitor's death, because this is already the only breakthrough we have.

Da Cheong Tong will wait for passengers at the ferry during the day, so I and the ghost went directly to the ferry to find him, just arrived at the ferry and saw Ha Er sitting on the boat in a daze, and Da Cheong Tong cat body seemed to be studying something, sneaky, like a thief, as soon as we approached the ferry and didn't have time to see what he was doing, Da Cheong Tong had seen me, and immediately quickly put away a yellowed paper in front of him, and just when Da Chang Tong put away the mysterious thing, I vaguely saw that the paper seemed to be densely painted with patterns, looking like a map.

"Teacher......!" As soon as Dachangtong opened his mouth, he immediately realized something, and hurriedly changed his words, "Brother!" You're here, are we still going to the hydropower station? ”

"You kid seems to like going there, huh? How! Is there a treasure in that land? I deliberately teased Dachangtong in a tentative tone, and then lifted the bag in my hand, "Don't go anywhere, see that the weather is hot, I bought you and Ha'er some iced watermelon and drinks." ”

"Yo! Dude! Look at what you said, what treasures can the broken hydropower station have! Didn't I want to learn from you! Dachang Tong hippie smile, unceremoniously took my things, "Thank you, brother!" You're so good to the disciples. ”

"Besides, if you're my apprentice, I won't give you face!" As I spoke, I took a watermelon and a drink to Har, who had been tilting his head and drooling on the side.

Hal didn't dare to ask for it at first, but I forced it on him, so he accepted it, and pointed fingers at me.

"Pass! What did Hal say? The ghost didn't understand what Ha'er was doing, so he asked Dachangtong, who was gobbling up watermelon, to solve it.

Dachang wiped a handful of watermelon juice that was about to flow to his clothes, and his mouth was still busy, and he said vaguely, "Oh! Hal is saying that you two are good people, no one has ever been so kind to him, and he is thanking you! ”

The ghost and I glanced at Hal who was tilting his head and giving us a thumbs up, and a wave of sadness came to our hearts, and at the same time smiled at him, looking at H'er's silly and pitiful appearance, sadness came to me for a while, so I patted him on the shoulder, "Thank you!" It's all buddies, eat it, it's not enough. ”

Yu Bi sat on the Dachang Tong boat, fished out two bottles of cold beer from the bottom of the bag, threw one bottle to the ghost, and before the ghost could make a move, he stopped and said, "Wang!" You know me, I don't drink during the day. ”

"It's so hot, it's okay to drink a bottle."

"Forget it, I'm not used to it." The ghost adheres to principles, I understand that he has been in the army for a long time, so naturally he is not like me and the fat man, he does his own thing, he always drinks when he wants, and it doesn't matter if he fucks day and night.

However, Dachangtong looked at the cold beer in my hand and was greedy, and noisily brought him a bottle of "Brother!" You see that you are lonely when you drink two bottles alone in the daytime, bring me a bottle, and I will accompany you. ”

"Go, go!" I said while drinking, "What to accompany, you have to sail in a while, you can't drink and drive." ”

Dachangtong smiled heapedly: "Good guy! I'm driving a boat and not a car, so what else are you talking about drunk driving and not drunk driving, do you say yes? Elder brother! ”

"Less nonsense, drinking on a boat is also drunk driving, be careful I call the Health Bureau to come and arrest you." As I spoke, I took a sip of wine and went straight to the topic. Tell us about the abandoned hydroelectric power plant. ”

Dachang Tong didn't say anything, just stared at my cold beer, it seemed that he didn't give wine, and he didn't say anything. "Dude! Lao Tzu has a story, do you have wine? ”

"Stinky boy!" I laughed helplessly, then gave him the wine, gave him a cigarette, and lit it for him and said, "Take people with short hands, eat people softly, if your story is not 1510, be careful I cut you." ”

"Dude! Don't worry, my story is absolutely original. Da Cheong Tong drank wine and smoked cigarettes, and the story was told vividly.

"Speaking of the hydropower station, it was a long time ago, probably the spring of the year before last, I remember that year I was waiting here for business as usual, and suddenly there were four or five men in suits and leather shoes, all of them wearing gold and silver, and at first glance they were people who did big business, including Wang Zhicheng of Zhonggu and Zheng Dong who died, there was a leader among them, and the people who came with him called him Mr. Deng, these people let me drive the boat as soon as they got on my boat, and they didn't say where they were going, just let me follow the direction he pointed out."

"I drove the boat, who can care what they want to do, just drive the boat, the boat is now the location of the hydropower station, they will get off the boat, and specially instructed me to wait for them on the boat, don't run around, let alone follow them, I thought it was strange at the time, how could they run to this deserted ghost place when they were so formally dressed, I guess there must be something greasy in this."

Dachangtong paused at this point, deliberately sold melons, and boasted to himself, "Brother, in fact, I think I am also a private detective, I guessed at the time." They really got bored, I secretly followed them to the location of the hydropower station, at that time the hydropower station was still a wasteland, and there was no one to go on weekdays, and after four or five of them arrived at the location of the hydropower station, they began to take out some things that I don't know the name of, and they did the same as geological exploration work, drawing and comparing on the ground, and they left after they were busy that day. ”

"Then, about a week later, there were a lot of big cargo ships in the town, loaded with sand, cement, steel bars, and even a lot of big construction tools. I heard the mayor of Dachang Town Guo say that there was a wealthy businessman who wanted to build a hydropower station in our place, and I also wanted to see the lively psychology and go to take a look, and as soon as I arrived at the ground, I saw the boss surnamed Deng, and later from the mouth of our mayor Guo, I learned that it was the boss surnamed Deng and a few friends who invested in the hydropower station. ”

Dachangtong said here and took a sip of wine, wiping his chin with his hand, "At that time, someone came to us to invest in the hydropower station, how fresh, everyone was curious, and they also loved to be lively, and they went to visit in groups, but the doorman did not let them in, saying that it was the order of the stationmaster, and no one loved it for a long time, and strange things happened within a few months." ”

"First of all, the fish in the river near the hydropower station died, and several fishermen who usually fish near there were inexplicably infected with a strange disease, and the body was ulcerated in several places, and it was not painful, and the rotten meat was torn off as soon as it was torn, and I went to the hospital to check, and the doctor said that it was infected with the virus, and it was estimated that the water I drank or the things I ate were contaminated by something."

"Everyone guessed that there must be a problem with the hydropower station, so they asked Mayor Guo and the police to go to the hydropower station to inspect together, but they didn't find any problems, and it was qualified and legal in all aspects, and the police couldn't control it, but the people in the town just didn't agree with the hydropower station to go on again, so they asked Guo Zhen to reason, and the people brought by Mayor Guo let the gambling outside the door, and only let Mayor Guo go in to negotiate every time, but every time he came back in disgrace."

"Mayor Guo went a few times without results, he was anxious, just when Mayor Guo went for the last time, he promised us that he would come back, and guess what, Mayor Guo directly relied on the hydropower station, and then I saw Mayor Guo come back two months later, it was dusk, I saw his nose and face swollen, I almost didn't recognize it as Mayor Guo, and he ignored him when he greeted him, and after that time, Mayor Guo's house was inexplicably on fire within two days, and a family of three was burned to death by the fire. That's how things were stimulated, so the hydropower station was seized. ”

Dachangtong said this, took a sip of wine, and sighed, "Everyone suspects that the death of the mayor is related to the hydropower station, but there is no evidence, and the people of the hydropower station have also withdrawn, this matter has been put on hold, and I want to say that the people of the hydropower station are afraid of crime and absconded, that is, because of this incident, the former director of the bureau was removed, and the officer was transferred." ”
