Since then, my mother has strictly forbidden the people of the Qin family to go into the water again, originally I was the only seedling of the eight generations of single transmission, and if something happens again, the Qin family will be finished with me.

But in fact, I don't need my mother to say it, when I see the water, I think of my grandfather, and my heart is not good.

I blasted Lao Huo and the gloomy man out of the door, "You better ask another Gao Ming, I will help you report this matter tomorrow, and there will be professionals to help you solve it at that time." ”

However, in the end, I didn't report the incident, because Lao Huo came back in the middle of the night, and repeatedly emphasized that this matter should not be leaked, otherwise we would neither of us be able to eat and walk around.

"Who the hell is that man, so powerful?" I was a little curious, so I made him a cup of tea, "You tell me what the hell is going on." ”

Lao Huo sat crookedly on the small broken sofa in my office, pushed the large square-framed glasses on his face, took out a few photos from his arms and handed them to me, and whispered in a standard Tianjin accent, "He is not capable, the big boss behind him is powerful." This person's surname is Fang, he is a native of Hong Kong, he is in the antique business, his eyesight is first-class, and he heard that he also worked as a Tufuzi in the early years. This time it was his son Fang Zeyang and his son's girlfriend who had an accident, and both of them fell into the ghost crying stream, alas, miserable. ”

I frowned, thinking to myself that the child of this big boss in Hong Kong had nothing to do in the mountains on the edge of Tianjin, but Lao Huo just mentioned that this boss is in the antique business, and he is still a master who personally goes down to the tomb and fights, I look at the boss above the photo The beer belly that is pregnant like a baby in July, just this body, not to mention going down the tomb, you have to take three breaths when you go down the stairs, it's hard to believe.

Scooping up corpses and robbing tombs are all ways to go outside, and I am no stranger to them.

Another photo is the victim of this incident, the two of them look about the same age as me, Fang Zeyang is the boss of Fang who is one size younger, wearing a brand-name dress with a big LOGO, with a gold chain around his neck, his girlfriend is white and beautiful, and she has two pear vortices when she laughs.

I left the photo and said that there was any news to help you pay attention to it when I got back, and Lao Huo said that the feeling was good and left.

Because I was on duty the night before, I took the day shift the next day, and it was really boring to sleep at home until the afternoon, so I took a shower and staggered back to the police station, planning to sort out the information again, and go to visit the rumors of illegal fish bombing some time ago in the afternoon.

My office is in the penultimate room on the right side of the first floor of the police station, next to the file room, and across from the toilet. Although I usually sit in the office and play cards, because I am straightforward and good-looking, I have a good relationship with the big guys, and occasionally I can receive a souvenir brought from home by a trainee policewoman.

As soon as I walked into the door of the police station humming a song, I saw a man sitting on a chair in front of my office.

The man was slender, wearing a white T-shirt and denim jacket like a TV star, leaning lazily in a chair with a grim face. As soon as he sat there, there were more policewomen going back and forth to the toilet.

And his thunderous posture finally changed after aiming at me, he stood up, and his voice was calm, "Sanmo, you're late for work." ”

This person's name is Lian Mingche, a good buddy who has been mixed with me since I was a child, and he is a criminal investigation expert specially hired by the criminal police team of the Municipal Bureau.

"You're stupid, I worked the night shift yesterday and took a vacation today." I threw my fist on his shoulder to say hello, then pulled out my key and opened the door, "If I hadn't stayed at home and had nothing to do, you wouldn't have been able to wait for me until dark." What's wrong? ”

Although Lian Mingche doesn't like to talk very much, he has a good kung fu, not to mention one against a hundred, it is still easy to fight ten at a time, he belongs to a typical person who doesn't talk much, and I have been taken care of by him since I was a child. And he's a master of criminal investigation, so he often helps me deal with some river drifters who can't find the master.

After Lian Mingche entered the house, his face became more and more pale, "Sanmo, there was an accident in the Jiajia Temple, last night the patrol police found the corpse of the Gu woman on the river downstream of the Jiajia Temple, and this morning someone reported that two children were missing in the water." The above asked us to solve the case immediately, and I was just about to go to the scene, so you can come with me to take a look. ”

When I heard this, I was also a little anxious, and the loss of two policemen was definitely not a trivial matter. And I also have a share of responsibility for the things on the river, "Okay, then let's go—wait, you go first, I have to go home." ”

I drove back to my house, took the bamboo tube containing the blood toad from the shrine, put it in my bag, and went straight to Kakekeji Temple.

This is the rule left by the ancestors of the Qin family, as long as you see a river drifter in the water, whether you go down the river or not, you must worship the blood toad first, if the blood toad makes a different cry than usual, it means that there is something different under the water, and you can't move again.

I'm sure I'll never go into the water, but I still have to follow the old rules.

When I arrived at the place, it was already evening, and far away I saw Lian Mingche and a few people around the river discussing something, and when he saw me coming, he greeted me in a few steps and said, "Go over and take a look, the corpse is still floating on the river." ”

"Why don't you catch it?" I asked, it stands to reason that the body found in the river must have been salvaged as soon as possible, but according to Lian Mingche, the female corpse has been floating in the water for at least a whole day since it was found.

The little policemen beside Lian Mingche looked at each other and didn't speak. Lian Mingche sighed, grabbed me aside, and said in a low voice: "It's not that I don't want to fish, but I heard that this corpse is a bit evil, since the morning, the corpse removal team has gone down several waves of people, and the result is that they all capsized before the boat came over, and almost killed people." ”

I frowned, walked over and squatted on the shore to look down, by the moonlight, there was a white dot on the inky lake that rose and fell with the waves, and then looked closely, and found that it was a corpse with its back facing up, that is, the female corpse in Lian Mingche's mouth.

I looked serious and said, "If what you said is true, then this corpse is indeed no better than an ordinary river drifter, and it is possible that the corpse will be transformed if you rush into the water to fish."

The old water ghosts of Tianjin Wei all know that there is a saying called "Hanging Jia Temple Hanging Jia Temple, Hanging Upstream Floating Corpse", because there are often floating corpses floating from the upper reaches here, plus it was originally where the ancient battlefield was, in order to eliminate grievances, this was built into a temple in the Tang Dynasty, and it is also strange that the corpses of the soldiers who died in the upper reaches of the war drifted to this quasi-stop, so this temple is called the Hanging Armor Temple for a long time.

It is precisely for this reason that the knowledgeable old water ghost easily does not dare to go down from here to retrieve the corpse, unless the price offered by the customer is high enough, this place can basically be said to be the most evil place except for the ghost crying stream.

It is said that the Republic of China will be, there was an accident here because of the cleaning of the river, when several river workers found a huge monster from the drained puddle, the thing was covered with cold scale armor, the eyes were red, the fangs in the mouth were like bayonets, although it grew in the water but there was no fish at all, there was a bold one to go up and shoot a few shovels, the strange thing vomited and spit out dozens of human heads and twisted a few times and closed his eyes.

What's even more unbelievable is that someone found a crack just under the body of the strange fish, and the water seeped out, and the rivermen gouged it with a pickaxe, and the whole piece of dirt sank in, revealing a huge mud hole.

The mud hole was so big that it could run away from a train, but it looked eerie, smelly, and cold water was constantly flowing out, and some people speculated that the strange fish might have flowed out of this deep hole.

This incident became more and more troublesome, and finally the government had to intervene to suppress it, not only burned the strange fish alive in front of everyone, but also sent heavy troops to seal the mouth of the mud hole, and then it became what it is now.

"How's it going, what's going on?" Lian Mingche crouched next to me, but his eyes fell on the river.

I shook my head: "I still have to find a way to catch it first, not to mention that I can't see anything clearly from such a distance, even if she keeps floating on the river." ”

At this time, the water ghost invited by the team arrived, a very young man named Tan Yong. I've seen him twice before, and his water quality is really good, and it can be said that he can count among the young generation of water ghosts in the city now, but he probably doesn't remember me for a long time.

"You have to be careful, if anything is wrong, go ashore immediately." Lian Mingche patted Tan Yong's shoulder.

Tan Yong was very confident in himself, he stripped naked in three or two times, and a fierce man stabbed down, at this moment, there were a few dull roars in my arms, hearing this sound I hurriedly took out the bamboo tube with the blood toad in my pocket, and opened the lid to see that the blood toad in the tube was puffing out two big cheeks and was constantly roaring like a beast, and staring at me.

"What's wrong?" Lian Mingche had heard about the power of my blood toad, and asked hurriedly.

I have heard from the elders of my family since I was a child that if the blood toad roars, there will be something murderous, but I have never heard of this beast making the slightest noise in so many years, strictly speaking, this should be the first time tonight.

Lian Mingche instantly sensed that something was wrong, and wanted to call Tan Yong back first, but he was so good at kung fu, Tan Yong had already swam out a long way, no matter how we called on the shore, he didn't seem to be able to hear it.

Fuck, something is going to happen.
