The young woman introduced herself: "Hello two, my name is Li Xiaohe, I heard that you are very interested in this ancient corpse, right?" ”

I said, "You're the boss of this ancient corpse?" ”

Li Xiaohe smiled and said: "I'm not the boss, our boss's surname is Wang, he has been in the cultural relics business for more than ten or twenty years, and he is very famous in the Biansai area, and I am just the secretary next to him." ”

It turned out to be in the cultural relics business, so it's no wonder, and only those who deal with the objects taken from the dead all day long will do such a thing as selling ancient corpses.

Lian Mingche glanced at me, and I immediately understood, and said to Li Xiaohe: "The two of us are indeed a little interested in this ancient corpse, I don't know if we can ask your boss to talk about the price." ”

Li Xiaohe took out his mobile phone and made a call to the side, and came back a few minutes later and said, "I have already asked the boss, no problem, come with me." ”

Walking out of the convention and exhibition center, the flow of people outside is still busy.

Li Xiaohe let us get on her Mercedes-Benz 7 Series and galloped all the way towards the city.

Li Xiaohe is very talkative, and when she was on the road, she did not shy away from telling us that she was the mistress of Boss Wang, and she was dealing with some business matters by the way. Boss Wang bought her a villa on the outskirts of the city, because Boss Wang often does business outside, Li Xiaohe stays in his company on weekdays to help take care of it, handling some antiques and jade. Boss Wang would come to the villa on the outskirts of the city to live with her for a few days almost every month, have a tryst with her, and then throw her a sum of money.

Li Xiaohe talked eloquently, and Lian Mingche and I were not surprised by this, this is the current situation of today's society, especially if anyone in our industry has not seen it, it has long been strange.

Mercedes-Benz 7 Series parked under an office building with more than 20 floors, Li Xiaohe said to us: "Mr. Wang is on it, you come with me!" ”

We followed Li Xiaohe to the 11th floor by elevator, and just walked to the door of the company, Li Xiaohe raised his hand and was about to knock on the door, but he didn't expect the office door to open suddenly, and a thin man in black suddenly rushed out from inside. Li Xiaohe, who was walking in front, was caught off guard and was knocked to the ground by the man in black. The man in black ignored it and rushed into the elevator like a gust of wind.

Due to the suddenness of the incident, we didn't see the appearance of the man in black clearly, Li Xiaohe got up from the ground and scolded very dissatisfied: "Who is this bastard, why is he so unqualified?" Rushing to reincarnate? I don't know how to apologize if I bump into someone! The next time I see him, I'll have to pump him with two big ear braces! ”

We followed Li Xiaohe into the office, and just after entering the room, Li Xiaohe suddenly screamed in horror, jumped up like an electric shock, turned around and crashed into my arms.

Our eyes widened in surprise at the sight of a middle-aged man lying on his back on his desk, his eyes rolling, his head hanging limply over his shoulders, a sharp fruit knife stuck in his chest, blood staining his white shirt. There is no doubt that this middle-aged man should be Boss Wang in Li Xiaohe's mouth.

I immediately reacted that the man in black just now was probably the murderer.

I secretly screamed badly, and turned around and wanted to chase out. Unexpectedly, Li Xiaohe rolled his eyes and fainted in my arms.

The police quickly cordoned off the scene of the murder, and Li Xiaohe cried and cried silently beside him, and Lian Mingche and I recorded a confession on the other side. Because it happened so suddenly, none of us saw the clear face of the suspect, so there was no valuable information to explain, only that the suspect was wearing a black coat and was relatively thin.

I think I'm a little aggrieved in my heart, usually the two of us make notes for others, but I didn't expect to taste the taste of being interrogated today.

Walking out of the office building, I felt very irritable, this thing is even more coincidental than shooting TV, we just went to find Boss Wang, Boss Wang was killed, it seems that we are looking for the clue of the origin of the naked corpse and interrupted, which makes me feel very frustrated, I finally thought that I could touch one of the links, and then I found the female corpse along the vine, but I didn't expect it to be in vain.

Walking and walking, even Ming Che never spoke, and I thought he was also distressed by the interruption of the clue. I was about to say something to comfort him, but he suddenly stopped and said to me with a solemn face: "Actually, I just hid an important clue from the police. ”

This time it was my turn to be stunned: "What clues are you hiding, do you know the identity of the murderer?" It can't be, it happened so fast that none of us could see it..."

You must know that Lian Mingche is a well-known good policeman who is dedicated to his duties, and it is said that he should not do such a thing as concealing clues, unless the situation is very special.

"No!" Lian Mingche said in a deep voice: "Although I didn't see the murderer's face clearly, I found something unusual. ”

Looking at Lian Mingche's serious face, my back felt a chill down my spine.

Lian Mingche stretched out his hand and pointed at his back: "Just now I caught a glimpse of a hydra pattern on the neck of that black-clothed killer!" ”

Boom, as if a thunderbolt exploded in my mind, and I opened my mouth wide in disbelief: "What?!" ”

Things are getting weirder and weirder, and it's getting more and more inscrutable, what does that hydra's tattoo symbolize? Why do tattoos on naked and ancient corpses appear on modern people? Could it be that the ancients have crossed over? No way, what's going on?

Is there any mysterious connection between this black-clad killer and the naked corpses at the West Moon Pier? What was his motive for assassinating Boss Wang? It's a pity that the person is dead, otherwise he would definitely be able to get a lot of valuable clues from Boss Wang's mouth.

Just as I was in a daze, Lian Mingche continued: "The hydra tattoo on the back of this killer is maroon, exactly the same as the tattoo of the ancient corpse in the exhibition hall. ”

We returned to the hotel with a stomach full of questions, and in the hotel, I told a friend who had known an archaeologist for many years about it and wanted to ask for some advice. I didn't expect even well-informed archaeologists to be stunned when they heard it.

My buddy pondered on the phone for a while and said, "This thing is really weird and evil, you and your friends have also been in contact with ancient corpses, maybe your life will be in danger." I'd suggest you'd better go back to the police station first, so it's safer. ”

I threw away my cigarette butt: "Yes, let's go back." ”

After hanging up the phone, Lian Mingche and I called a car back to the police station, and I lay on the seat tiredly, one question after another flying in my mind.

Why did the corpse of the woman who disappeared in the Devil's Crying Stream appear in Kakeshi Temple and disappeared again?

Why were the two river drifters implanted with weird corpse worms in their bodies?

What secrets are hidden in the naked corpse at Xiyue Pier and the Hydra tattoo on the back of the ancient corpse in the Convention and Exhibition Center?

Why is there also this mysterious hydra tattoo on the hand of the modern killer?

What is the connection between this killer and the naked corpse and the ancient corpse at Xiyue Pier?

……

There were so many questions that I was dizzy, so I simply closed my eyes and didn't think about it, so let's go back to the police station to recuperate.

When I arrived at the police station, Lian Mingche said that he would leave first if he had something to deal with, and I didn't want to go to the Heshang Public Security Department alone and went home.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I found that an old man was lying on the Taishi chair and closed his eyes to recuperate. ”

The old man in front of him is surnamed Dou, and he used to be a first-class master in Tianjin Weishui Ghost, and he is also a good brother of my grandfather.

Fourth Master Dou picked his eyelids, and said to me angrily: "Although my old man is old, his ears and eyes are still okay and can be used, you kid is making such a big move outside, can I not come." ”

Yes, I didn't expect to hide it in the end, so I had to pretend to be stupid and not speak.

Fourth Master Dou waved his hand: "Forget it, I'm not here to ask the teacher today, I have something to tell you, let's go to the house and drink something." I nodded and followed.

The light in the room was a little dim, Dou Siye sat on the kang, there was a small square table in front of him, and there was an antique incense burner on the square table, and the dim light reflected the room in a sad and paniclenish way. There was a plate of peanuts and two side dishes on the table, and a bottle of Lao Baigan was placed next to it.

I called out to the fourth grandfather, then took off my shoes and climbed onto the kang and sat down opposite the old man.

This scene in front of me reminds me of when my grandfather was still there when I was a child, when my grandfather often sat on the kang, a few peanuts with a bottle of Lao Baigan, while squeaking and drinking wine, while telling me about the strange things on the Weihai River in old Tianjin.

After so many years, my grandfather is no longer there, and Dou Siye's temples have been dyed with hoarfrost, and I have grown from a child curled up in the quilt listening to stories to a brave and fearless young man. I suddenly remembered a lyric: "The years peel off on the wall to see when I was a child!" I immediately felt extremely sentimental and nostalgic.

Dou Siye put a small wine cup in front of me, then unscrewed Lao Baigan, poured me a glass, and the rich aroma of wine spread throughout the room.

"Fourth grandfather, do you have anything to do with me?" I asked.

The fourth grandfather raised the wine cup, touched a glass with me, took a big sip, and then picked up two peanuts and threw them into his mouth, biting and gurgling: "Mo San, do you know why your family has never let you enter the business of collecting corpses?" ”
