Chapter 34: The True Body of the River Demon
After we separated from Lingling on the riverbank last time, Lingling jumped into the water and left, Lingling wanted to investigate the truth, because of the death of the Jiuyang Daoist, Lingling was afraid that the police would arrest her, so she hid in a nearby cave, Lingling was very helpless at that time, and finally because of food problems, she had to go back to the village.
Without tools, it is difficult to catch fish, so you can only try your luck, and you can't eat wild fruits in the mountains casually, in case they are poisonous, you will be in trouble.
After thinking about it, Ling Ling found Fang Shenpo, in the village, only Fang Shenpo can protect her and help her investigate the truth.
Lingling also knew that the police had been investigating, and Mrs. Fang arranged for Lingling to stare at me secretly, and if there was any news to report to her, after we went to Li Kui's house that day, Lingling also followed.
Finding Li Kui setting fire outside, knowing that we were trapped in the warehouse, Lingling deliberately shouted a few times, Li Kui frightened away, Lingling smashed the door open, rushed into the warehouse, and rescued me.
By the time the villagers found out about the fire, Lingling had already taken me to her backyard.
After listening to this, Director Zhang said, "Lingling, Lady Fang asked you to keep an eye on Ning Que and collect news for her?" ”
"What collects messages?" Ling Ling said, "I also want to investigate and clear my name, Grandma Fang will give me ideas, and only Grandma Fang will help me." ”
I also feel that Mrs. Fang seems to be using the collection of information, but when I think about it, this is too obvious, right?
"Lingling!" Director Zhang stared at Ling Ling coldly, "Say, did you kill the Jiuyang Daoist?" ”
Last time, Director Zhang and I met Lingling by the river, because I was suspicious of Lingling, and I didn't come to the river to find Lingling in person, which made Lingling angry.
Spirit said, "I haven't killed anyone. ”
"Then why are you running?" Director Zhang said, "Why do you want to avoid us all the time? ”
Lingling suddenly shouted, "Because I don't believe you, I don't believe anyone, so many villagers see me killing, they are all witnesses, I am afraid that you will arrest me." ”
Director Zhang sneered, "Aren't you afraid that I will arrest you now?" ”
"I'm not afraid." Lingling shouted, "If you want to arrest it, you can arrest it, anyway, I didn't kill anyone, you can arrest me, but don't arrest Grandma Fang." ”
Could it be that the Fang Goddess is really just simply protecting the spirits? Or is there another purpose?
I said: "Lingling, you don't have to be afraid, we won't arrest you, since you want to investigate the truth, stay with us in the future, I will protect you." ”
Lingling said, "I'm not with you, Grandma Fang is not in good health, she was bullied by you today, and she needs me to take care of her." ”
After saying that, Lingling turned around and ran away, leaving the house, and we didn't chase after it.
The next morning, Boss Kang's autopsy report came out, drowning and dying, there was no suspicion, we already knew that the result would be like this.
After breakfast, Director Zhang took me and Li Yong, Wei Huili, and the four of us to a woodware factory in Shangbei Village, and the boards we needed to process had come out, a total of 500, and Director Zhang paid out of his own pocket.
Next, the four of us took several large coils of fishing line and began to pass through the eighteen small holes in the boards, and with the help of seven or eight workers from the carpentry factory, it took a whole day to connect all the boards together.
All the boards are twenty-five meters long and weigh more than forty pounds in series.
It is made of eighteen fishing lines, and even if eighteen people come, they cannot break the fishing line, and it is extremely strong.
Everyone gathered around all the boards and discussed, what kind of craft is this? It's like nothing, just rows and rows of boards.
One of the workers grabbed one and shook it a few times, and the rows of boards writhed on the ground, and he said, "You see, it doesn't look like a centipede." ”
The rows of boards are like a pair of dense tentacles, which are indeed very similar to centipedes.
The board continued to writhe, and Wei Huili next to her said, "Look at this board, does it look like a snake swimming in the water?" ”
Suddenly, Director Zhang and I looked at each other and exclaimed at the same time.
"Python!"
"River Demon!"
I'm talking about pythons, and Director Zhang is talking about river demons.
The workers of the carpentry factory all looked strange and stared at the two of us, and we did not come here to investigate the case, but to make handicrafts.
Pictures of river demons surged up in my heart, river demons kill people, is it not a real monster, but ...... Made of balsa wood!
Wei Huili woke up the dreamer with a word, and the wooden plank twisted, which was too similar to a giant python swimming in the water!
Director Zhang immediately took out his mobile phone, turned out the photo of the river demon's tail and compared it with the wooden board, and then showed it to all the workers next to him.
"It's not difficult to make these planks look like pythons, it's easy to get a fake skin and put scales on it."
"yes, is your craft a snake?"
"It's terrible to have a human fetish nowadays, why do you make such a big snake? Do you make a movie? ”
At this time, Boss Liu of the woodware factory came, Boss Liu was a fat man in his fifties, with a string of gold chains, gold rings, and gold watches hanging around his neck, and a local tyrant's posture.
Boss Liu recognized Director Zhang, and hurriedly came over to shake hands with Director Zhang, which was extremely polite.
Soon, the topic returned to the photos, Boss Liu looked at the photos and said, "Where did you take these photos?" ”
I said, "Yin and Yang River." ”
Boss Liu looked weird, "Is there such a big snake in the Yin Yang River?" This is an online picture, right? ”
We told Boss Liu about the matter briefly, and the workers next to us were extremely shocked when they heard this.
Boss Liu said, "Brother Zhang, you mean, someone made such a big python out of balsa wood and killed people in the river?" The death incident in Shangnan Village was done by a python? ”
Director Zhang nodded, "That's right, at first we thought it was a river demon, the river demon has been rumored for more than ten years, we have seen it twice, but as we investigated, everything seems to be not a demon, but a man-made." ”
The matter of Shangnan Village is known to several nearby villages, and the strange thing is that few people in other villages drowned, only Shangnan Village had an accident.
Boss Liu weighed the weight of the wooden board and said, "Balsa wood should be controlled in the water, it is very simple, the simplest is a small wooden man controlled by a rope, but now this technology has declined, and our factory does not manufacture these things, and now children's toys are all electric toys." ”
I asked, "Boss Liu, can a person manipulate something tens of meters long underwater?" For example, the python in our photo. ”
"Absolutely." Boss Liu said, "If you don't understand, the shadow puppet knows, right?" It's all wire and rope manipulation of paper figures, shadow performances, but it's very simple, such a big python, if you want to control it, you need a console, you need gears, and you need some other equipment. ”
Next to him, Li Yong said, "I have never heard of these things, such a big snake, a person operating so underwater?" Impossible, right? ”
"What do you mean impossible?" Boss Liu said, "There is an old saying, give me a fulcrum, I can lift the earth, four or two dialing a thousand pounds of technology, in the hands of our ancestors, as long as there is a scientific control console, with a firm high-horsepower line to operate, not to mention eighteen lines, one line can hold up this giant python in the water." ”
"I see that most of the threads threaded through these small holes are to manipulate the flexibility of the python, and the more directions you manipulate, the more flexible the python will be, and you can achieve the real with the fake."
The information that Boss Liu gave us was too important, Director Zhang said, "This console, python, Boss Liu, can you make it?" ”
"Yes, no problem at all." Boss Liu said, "You bring the drawings, give me a day, and I'll get it done for you." ”
If we had the drawings, we would have known everything a long time ago, and we still need to investigate?
Boss Liu said, "It's okay without drawings, but it takes a long time, you need to do experiments in the water, you need to draw drawings, and the python you made is just a part of the parts, we also need carpenters to modify, and we need woodcarvers to measure accurate accuracy, which is very troublesome." ”
I asked, "How long does it take to make it?" ”
"This ......" Boss Liu thought for a while and said, "I haven't done this before, a friend of mine runs a big company, and he can make anything, if you need his help, a month should be enough." ”
Director Zhang said, "Okay, we must do it, for the sake of dozens of lives, we must do it...... By the way, how much? ”
"This, I can't estimate it, the material cost is more than 5,000, and the labor cost plus the drawings is probably at least 40,000, this thing is very complicated, the accuracy is too high, since it is to investigate the case and help, we are also a village, a total of 40,000 of you."
The corners of Director Zhang's mouth twitched, "Don't do it......"
40,000 yuan, it's too expensive for me, although it's an investigation, but to do things, the bureau will not reimburse it, and the board made before will not be reimbursed.
Boss Liu said, "If someone really made a python, there must be drawings, if you have drawings, I won't trouble my friends, I will do it for you for free, with general wood, the material cost me out, anyway, for the villagers, the main thing is to draw drawings troublesome, my friend did it, not me, I hope you can understand." ”
Drawing?
I suddenly remembered the computer where Jing Min worked, the police had already checked it, and there were a lot of illustrations, comics, and some base drawings in it, and the police in the town would definitely not be able to see these things, which required professionals.
So, Director Zhang immediately called and asked a police officer to bring Jing Min's computer.
Boss Liu took us to the river to do experiments, and we came to Shangbei Village Port. At this time, it was already eight o'clock in the evening, and the villagers of Shangbei Village had returned from fishing, and when they saw that we had taken out rows of wooden planks, they curiously gathered around.
We threw the planks into the water.
The rows of planks floated on the water, and the buoyancy was so good that I jumped into the water, pulled one end of the plank, and pulled it so hard that it was easy to pull the plank into the water.
I made a stab in the water, and dived under the water with rows of planks, and wandered underwater, three or four points like the python we had seen before.
Someone quickly recognized Director Zhang, and everyone chatted, we didn't say that we were investigating the case, but that we were making handicrafts.
Several villagers went into the water to help, dragged the plank to swim, and threw the plank out of the water with all their might, only three or four meters rushed out of the water, and three people were needed to act together.
Boss Liu was very satisfied with the experimental results, and said, "Everyone has seen that there is no control console, just take the semi-finished products you made at will, and you can fly freely in the water. ”()
