"Huh?" Yu Xin covered her mouth with her hand in surprise and looked at Zhou Xing blankly, as if she couldn't believe that the living person she had seen just a few hours ago had an accident like this.

"The villagers called 110 to report the case, the specific situation is not clear, we will go to the scene of the village now, and the forensic doctor is already on the way." Zhou Xing didn't know much about the specific situation, so he could only repeat the words on the phone to Yi Yang and Yu Xin.

Zhou Xing hurriedly took the two out of the community, came to a police car parked on the side of the road, beckoned the two to get in the car and drove towards Suyu Village. Yu Xin felt that the atmosphere in the car was very solemn, and from Yi Yang's tightly knit brows, he could see that the matter was more serious than he imagined, so he stopped talking and silently looked at the scenery and pedestrians outside the car window.

Zhou Xing drove very fast, and soon arrived at Suyu Village, and when he arrived at the village headquarters, he saw that the forensic doctor Xu Hui was already waiting there, and there were two policemen sent by the city bureau to assist after receiving the report. Xu Hui saw the three of them get out of the car and hurriedly greeted them, and Zhou Xing didn't care about anything else and asked directly about the cause of Xiang Yanwu's death. Xu Hui hesitated a little, paused for a moment and seemed to think about the wording before saying: "He drowned, but for the specific reason, you should come to the scene together!" After saying that, he led the three of them to the river.

Yu Xin followed Xu Hui to the river, and found that there were already several uniformed policemen surrounded by something, and when he walked forward, he saw that several people were surrounding Xiang Yanwu's body. Yi Yang, Yu Xin and Zhou Xing squatted next to the corpse with Xu Hui and listened to Xu Hui introduce the cause of death.

Xu Hui put on white plastic gloves and opened the eyelids of the corpse, then looked up at Yi Yang and Zhou Xing, pointed to the direction of the river and said with some uncertainty: "The deceased drowned in that river, and from the physical form after death, it was not caused by others." However, the height of the river over there is less than 1.5 meters, and even if you fall into the water, you can get out of danger as long as you stand up. ”

Speaking of this, a policeman next to him pointed to a villager next to him and added: "According to the informant, the deceased walked to the river alone at that time and did not see the process of falling into the water, but when he walked to the river about 20 minutes later, the deceased had drowned. ”

Xu Hui stood up and clapped his hands, and said again to several people: "Judging from the current situation, the deceased should be a suicide, and drowning in such a deep river, it can be said that the intention of suicide is very strong. ”

Yi Yang and Yu Xin glanced at each other, it was absolutely impossible for Xiang Yanwu to commit suicide, and he was still in high spirits in the morning to continue to promote the completion of the investment project, and he would not have suicidal thoughts at the moment when he was about to sign the contract. However, according to the statements of forensic doctors and eyewitnesses, suicide is the most plausible and irrefutable fact.

Yi Yang looked down at the corpse again, and didn't find anything strange, so he could only stand up silently and watch Zhou Xing and Xu Hui command several other policemen who came over to assist to inspect and load the corpse according to the normal process. After everything was done, Zhou Xing said hello to Yi Yang and went back to the city with Xu Hui in the police car. Before leaving, he instructed Yi Yang to contact him as soon as possible if there was any situation, although there was no evidence that Sun Ye and Xiang Yanwu's death was related to China Merchants Investment, but this sudden situation still made Zhou Xing feel unusual.

Yi Yang and Yu Xin did not return to the village but came directly to the village entrance restaurant to eat, and Master Lu also learned the news of Xiang Yanwu's death, because the two of them are usually very familiar, so they simply fried two dishes and sat down at another table in silence.

Yi Yang obviously didn't have any appetite, and after eating a few bites of food, he put the dishes and chopsticks aside, touching his forehead tattoo as if talking to himself and asking Yu Xin: "If Sun Ye and Xiang Yanwu are not normal deaths, then what is the motive?" ”

Yu Xin looked at Yi Yang and thought for a while and said tentatively: "Sun Ye's death caused the stagnation of the investment project, and after Xiang Yanwu's efforts, it can be signed normally, and now Xiang Yanwu's death investment has stalled again, so ......."

Yi Yang nodded lightly and continued: "No matter who it is and what the motive is, what I can't figure out the most now is what means caused the death of the two people. ”

Yi Yang looked up at Yu Xin, his expression became a little serious: "Yu Xin, you had a hallucination by the river last night, think about it carefully, did you have any special experiences before?" ”

Yu Xin knew that Yi Yang thought that her experience might have something to do with the death of the two people, but she thought about it carefully for a while, and finally shook her head blankly.

Yi Yang's brows furrowed even deeper, silently thinking about something, Yu Xin didn't know what to say for a while, and sat there a little dazed, at a loss.

At this time, Master Lu slowly walked to the side of the two, coughed and found that the two of them were looking at him together, and said with some hesitation: "Officer Yi, I don't know whether to say something or not." Master Lu saw Yi Yang nodding and continued: "Actually, I have always disagreed with attracting investment, not because I don't support the economic development of the village, but because I ......" Speaking of this, he lowered his voice, as if there was an invisible figure eavesdropping outside.

"Xiang Zhishu is from other villages, now many people in the village have moved from other places in the past twenty or thirty years, there are not many natives in the village now, I grew up in this village, stayed for more than forty years, when I was a child, I heard that this Phoenix Mountain is very evil, there are mountain gods, they want to transform Phoenix Mountain, it will definitely anger the mountain gods, maybe Sun Ye and Xiang Zhishu are because of ........" Speaking of this, Master Lu shrunk his neck and glanced out of the door a little nervously, as if something was really looking at him outside.

Yi Yang looked at Master Lu for more than ten seconds, and found that he didn't mean to continue, so he could only ask: "Master Lu, what you said may just be rumors in some places, and you can't take it seriously, has something similar happened here before?"

Master Lu shook his head gently, turned around and took out a pot of tea from the kitchen and poured it for the two of them before continuing: "This kind of thing has never happened in this village since I can remember, but when I was a child, I heard the old branch secretary tell us the story of the mountain god, it seems that someone provoked the mountain god a long time ago, and many people died crazy!" ”

"The old branch secretary?" Master Lu saw Yi Yang's confused muttering and immediately continued: "It's not about Sun Ye, but the branch secretary in our village many years ago, surnamed Han, I was still a teenager at that time. ”

Yu Xin and Yi Yang glanced at each other, and Yu Xin immediately asked Master Lu, "Is the old branch secretary still in this village?" ”

"To the west of the village, of course."

After Yi Yang and Yu Xin got the specific location of the old branch secretary's house in Master Lu's mouth, they went out together and walked to the old branch secretary's house.

Master Lu silently cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks of the two of them, walked towards the kitchen with a little staggering steps, and muttered in a voice that only he could hear: "Mountain God! ”
