Chapter 84: Distress by the Sea (1)
"Not them?"
"It's not them, I'm sure it's not them, if you don't believe it, I have a picture." (Why don't they believe in themselves, there's no need to lie to them about this.) )
"Can you show us?"
"It's okay, you wait a minute, I'll look for it." (If I'm not mistaken, the photo should be on my phone, but I'll need to look for it.) )
"By the way, may I ask, why do you want to leave a phone number for the people who come to rent a house?"
"Well, that's right, I've had a tenant suddenly leave and don't rent, so I may not have rent for a month or a few months, so I will ask them to leave their photos so that even if they run away, I know where to look for them." (Since you have been fooled once, then you will not be fooled a second time, and you are not so stupid.) )
"Well, it's really necessary, after all, everyone who rents a house can't be sure of their temper."
"Well, I found it, it's this person." (I don't know why they want to see it, but I'll show it to them.) )
"Can you send me this picture?"
"Okay, no problem." (What's the use of them asking for this picture, is this person in trouble?) )
"Thank you."
"Is there anything else you'd like to ask? If not, I'll take you to the basement now. (I don't know what's there, but if they want to go, it's better to take them with me.) )
"Thank you."
"Da Da Da"
"Click"
"Wow"
"Da Da Da"
"This is it, hmm, why does it smell?" (Could it be that the tenants are using this place as a garbage can?) )
"You wait here, I'll go down and see." (It seems that there must be something wrong with this, and it is very likely that the first crime scene was here.) )
"Da, da, da"
"Huang Jian, how is it inside?"
"Don't come down, wait until I come up." (Oh my god, I'm going to throw up.) )
"Well, be careful." (What's in there, and why did he react this way?) )
"Mr. Zhou, you come out with us first, it's better if you don't look at the things in here." (Maybe you'll have nightmares for days after watching it.) )
"Why?" (Is there anything scary in there?) )
"It's better for you to listen to me, and I'll make a call later, and let Xiao Wang bring the criminal investigators over." (I don't know how long those people have been dead there, but it certainly won't be less.) )
"Okay." (Looks like my home is over.) )
"Liyao, what are you thinking?" (Why does he keep looking at the entrance to the basement, does he want to go in?) )
"It's nothing, Mr. Cao, please control Sun Le later, wait for us above."
"Okay, no problem, can I ask? Did you find something? (Otherwise, why would he say that?) Or did he feel something? )
"It's nothing, you just have to do it."
"Okay, I see." (Looks like there's something he doesn't want to tell me, so don't ask.) )
An hour later, Xiao Wang came to the town with the criminal investigators, although the temperature in the town was much lower than in the city, but in the summer, even if the temperature was low, it would not be low.
It was quiet all around. The leaves trembled gently in the sunlight, a thin layer of water vapor drifted through the air, and the bewildered flies whirled and flew, buzzing like an organ, and the summer heat was the most popular, and screamed vigorously: slowly, everything was quiet...... The woodpecker in the tree has a strange timbre to its call.
"Captain, you didn't make it clear on the phone, what's wrong now?" Xiao Wang asked Huang Jian curiously, but he didn't make it clear on the phone, so he didn't know what was going on.
Huang Jian glanced at Xiao Wang and said, "Don't talk nonsense, you will come if you want to come, if you want to know what's wrong, go to the basement to see, how can there be a good thing if I let you come?" ”
Xiao Wang nodded and led people towards the cellar, not knowing what was going on there, and when he saw the scene inside, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh my God." ”
Huang Jian just smiled when he heard this, it seemed that they saw what was inside, but it can't be said that they reacted greatly, if they reacted more than them at their age.
Hearing Xiao Wang's exclamation, Song Zhenqiang and Cao Linxi wanted to go and see, but were stopped by Peng Liyao, "The next thing has nothing to do with us, we should go, and you and Sun Le will not be in danger." Peng Liyao said to Cao Linxi.
Although he didn't know what was going on, Cao Linxi still nodded and pulled Sun Le, who was curious to go and see, to follow Peng Liyao away, and what happened next had nothing to do with them.
In the cellar, the three people in the photograph and the other people in cages are lying on the ground, surrounded by stinking blood and internal organs, and it is obvious that they have been dead for a long time.
The weather in the middle of July was hot enough, and at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, it was the most unbearable time of the day, when the road was scorched and hot, and the feet went down, and the air was hot and stuffy, as if a match could be lit.
On the coast, the banana trees are thick, and the bananas are like late-ripening rice that has not been harvested, hanging densely on the treetops, and like strings of shining green jade, almost breaking the trunk, as if overflowing with a sweet and greasy aroma.
Tall and straight coconut trees, their leaves spreading out like peacock tails under the blue sky.
A light breeze swept from the beach in the northwest, gently turning up the clothes of the night walkers, teasing the dead leaves on the road, and the moist sea breeze stirred the faces like a fine gauze. The cool breeze whirring straight into people's arms is refreshing and comfortable.
The tide receded. The mud on the beach is soft, like an endless honeycomb, full of dense holes. Countless baby crabs crawled around, staring and foaming.
"Are you sure you're not going to swim?" Song Zhenqiang and Lin Liexiao looked at Peng Liyao suspiciously, why didn't they choose to swim in the sea and stay on the shore when they rarely came to the beach?
Peng Liyao Yaoyao nodded, "Don't go, you guys go, I'll blow the wind here." "It's not that I can't swim, it's just that I don't have any interest in swimming.
"You don't know how to swim." Lin Liexiao looked at Peng Liyao in surprise, if he didn't go swimming, he could only think of this possibility.
"I know how to swim, and when I was a child, my grandparents taught me to do it, saying that they were afraid that I would drown, but I didn't like swimming." Peng Liyao helplessly explained how he couldn't swim, almost every child who came out of the orphanage could swim.
Hearing Peng Liyao's words, Song Zhenqiang nodded, this is true, every child in the orphanage can learn to swim, and he also heard his grandparents ask him when he was in the orphanage.
Seeing Song Zhenqiang nodding, Lin Liexiao knew that this matter would definitely not be fake, as for why Peng Liyao didn't like swimming, only they knew this estimate.
Since Peng Liyao didn't want to go swimming, Song Zhenqiang and Lin Liexiao would not continue to force him, originally they came out to play this time because the office was closed and the studio was on holiday.
After returning from the town last time, Song Zhenqiang asked Lin Liexiao to check Peng Liyao's body and found that there was nothing wrong with his body, so he had this rest.
Not long after Song Zhenqiang and Lin Liexiao left, someone came to Peng Liyao's side, "Hello, may I ask yes, Detective Peng?" ”
"You are?" Peng Liyao looked at the man in his thirties in front of him, thin, but very energetic, and seemed to be a strange person, I don't know what he is looking for.
"I'm Zhang Shichuan, I have a task I want to entrust to you, I don't know if you can take it now?" Zhang Shichuan looked at Peng Liyao with some embarrassment, because from the current state of Peng Liyao, it seems that he has come to rest, will he disturb him?
Peng Liyao nodded yes, then sat up from the recliner, and then took out the voice recorder in the notebook he put on the table next to him, "Yes, but I want to ask, why didn't you go to my office?" ”
"Because I live in City S, and City A, where your office is located, is a bit far away, I'm not sure if you'll take my assignment, and I happened to meet you this time, so I just wanted to ask." Zhang Shichuan explained that he was still very helpless about this matter, but there was no way to do it now.
"Well, I know, but I'll record, can you accept it?" Peng Liyao shook the recorder in his hand and said to Zhang Shichuan, I don't know if he will disagree, if he doesn't agree, he has no choice.
Zhang Shichuan Yaoyao headed, "I know your habits, if you want to record it, just record it, as long as it doesn't disturb your rest." "But judging from the current situation, it seems that I have been disturbed.
"It's okay, I was originally pulled over by them, so let's start now." Peng Liyao said with a smile as he pressed the record button.

"Mr. Zhang, can you tell me what trouble you have?"
"That's right, since last year, I've had a strange disease." (It turns out that it's been a year now.) )
"Strange disease? If you're sick, shouldn't you see a doctor? Why are you looking for me? ”
"Actually, it's said to be a disease, but it's not actually a disease, it's an incident that I encountered that caused me to have this strange disease." (It's also for this reason that I can't live as usual.) )
"What's the matter?"
"Well, it was probably last spring, my wife said she was going to the park for a walk, so I accompanied her, it was evening at that time, probably, well, I think about it, it seems to be eight or nine o'clock." (I don't know what she was going to do at the park.) )
"And after that?"
"Then I saw a person, or maybe not a person." (I don't think anyone will look like that.) )
"Oh?"
"Well, yes, he looks very strange, how to say it, like a werewolf, at that time my wife went to buy water, I was bored and sat on the chair next to me, and then I saw that person standing in the woods opposite, and his eyes were still glowing green, and he looked scary." (It almost scared me to death at the time.) )
"Werewolf-like?"
"Yes, yes, werewolves are the same, they are covered in hair, and they are still standing, standing on two legs." (That's not what a werewolf is, it's definitely a werewolf.) )
"Okay, you go ahead."
"After that, I was scared, but, I, well, that, I have a superability, so I think maybe he is also a supernatural, so I plan to pretend that I didn't see him, so that he shouldn't attack me, so that I can be safer." (I still think I was so witty at that time.) )
"You have abilities too?"
"Yes." (It seems that he doesn't see that he has any abilities, but since the comments about him at night are good, I guess I can trust him.) )
"What's your ability?"
"My ability, yes, yes, hey, it's faster to count things, I'm self-employed, and my ability still helps my life a little." (Not much help though.) )
"Okay, I see, you continue."
"I thought he wouldn't be able to see me, but, after a while, he raised his hand and pointed at me, then pointed straight at me, and then hooked his finger at me." (It's like letting me go, though I don't know why he did it.) )
"Have you passed?"
"No, I don't even know what he's going to do, why should I go over, if it's dangerous, wouldn't I be sent to death?" (I'm not smart, but I'm not stupid, so it's impossible not to know this.) )
"You didn't go over, did he come over?"
"No, he looked at me for a long time, he was standing there and didn't come, and then my wife came back and he left very quickly." (Fortunately, my wife came back at that time, otherwise I would have been scared to death.) )
"Have you ever seen him again?"
"Yes." (Of course, it's the most troublesome thing after that.) )
"When?"
"About two days later, when I closed the shop and went home, I saw him on the path." (That path didn't wait yet, and it almost didn't scare me to death.) )
"And after that? Does he still do the same thing? ”
"It's different." (If only he had just stood far away and made movements.) )
"What did he do?"
"He was so close to me when I saw him, and he grabbed me as soon as I wanted to leave, and here it is, and I still have a mark on my arm." (At the time, I thought I was dead, but I'm still alive.) )
"This injury? Well, why is he still here? Shouldn't it be gone? After all, it's been a year, hasn't it? ”
"I don't know why, but this injury has always been there, and it has to be wet with seawater every once in a while, otherwise it will be painful and itchy." (So I come here every once in a while and go back with a few buckets of seawater.) )
"What are the results of going to the hospital for a check-up?"
"They said that there was nothing, everything was normal, and they didn't know what was going on, they all changed several hospitals." (Even the medicine they prescribed didn't work, and now he can only relieve it and not cure him.) )
"Well, I see, so you want me to help you with this, don't you?"
"Yes, and, if you can, please help me find this werewolf, I always thought he had something to say to me, but I don't even know what he wants to say." (And there's a familiar feeling about him.) )
"Okay, I see, by the way, has he been there lately?"
"Lately? Well, it didn't appear last month, but it did this month. (I was scared at first, but after that, it got better.) )
"Has he touched you since the last time he caught you like that?"
"Well, no, he always looked at me, and he left after about three minutes, I was scared of him at first, but then I started to bring him food, because I opened my own restaurant, so every time there was a little leftover food or something, no one had eaten it, it just got cold, so I would give it to him." (And judging by his reaction, he seems to enjoy eating it.) )
"So, did anything change when he appeared this time?"
"Ah, I think about it, the hair on his neck and hands is a lot less, and he looks thinner, I touched him last time, and he is much thinner than before." (I don't know where he's been in a month, and why he's turned himself into what he is this month.) )
"Okay, I know, if I can, I'll go to your house tomorrow, and if you meet him again, please call me and tell him I can help him."
"Really?" (Did Detective Peng know what happened to him?) But what is it? )
"Really, I'm sure, don't worry, I'll keep him safe, you can tell him I know the way to make him an adult."
"Okay, I see, then, I'll wait for you at home tomorrow." (It seems that the strange thing that happened to me is finally coming to an end.) )
Song Zhenqiang and Lin Liexiao saw a person sitting next to Peng Liyao, and judging from Peng Liyao's expression, it seemed to be something related to work, because only things related to work would Peng Liyao be expressionless and serious, not to mention the recorder he was holding in his hand.
After Zhang Shichuan left, Song Zhenqiang and Lin Liexiao walked to Peng Liyao's side, "Who is this person?" ”
"Client, you can play in the next few days, I have a job." Peng Liyao said, getting up from his chair, now he has to sort out the information he knows, so that he can ensure that he has a complete idea tomorrow.
Looking at the back of Peng Liyao leaving, Song Zhenqiang and Lin Liexiao looked at each other for three seconds, and sighed helplessly, it seems that this rest is going to be in vain again.
