Chapter Twenty-Three: Investigating the Women in the Village
The old man left from the entrance of the cave and flew to the small entrance of the cave, not moving at all, and everything was quiet.
I hurriedly got up, my legs were trembling, I couldn't stand steadily, I picked up the gun on the ground, pulled Director Zhang who was soft on the ground, and the two of us crawled out of the hole.
After we got to the outside of the cave, we ran forward desperately, running dozens of meters away from the cave, and we sat on the ground with our butts in pairs, breathing heavily, and the situation in our minds was always in our minds.
After a few minutes, both of us calmed down a lot, and I gasped, "Brother Zhang, if you really kill us, why do you want to shoot, why do you have to look at the face of that evil ghost, you scared me to death......"
Director Zhang said, "Made, there are really ghosts, why are there ghosts, why are there ghosts in this world......
"Ning Que, you remember, you can't tell anyone what happened tonight."
I saw that under Director Zhang's pants, it was wet, and he actually ...... Scared to pee!
I understand what Director Zhang means, not to let me talk about these things.
Director Zhang said, "I always feel that something is wrong, wood, ghosts...... I just felt that the ghost's body was wood, a stake...... His face ......"
"I want to see his face because he has his back to us all the time, and his face, which feels like a mask, is so unreal, and the light in the cave is very dark, and I can't see it very clearly."
I was stunned and said, "Are you still wondering if it's not a ghost?" It's not a ghost, how can all this be explained? ”
"If it's not a ghost, how can it fly? How could there suddenly be a yin wind in the cave? ”
Director Zhang asked me rhetorically, "But someone has taken Li Ergou, how can this be explained?" If everything was done by the river demon, then why is Li Ergou's matter man-made? ”
I said casually: "Could it be that the river demon is harming people, and there are other people who are also harming people?" ”
This case is getting more and more complicated, a river demon has already caused a headache, and now there is another ghost!
"By the way, Brother Zhang, have you ever smelled a fragrance in the cave, a faint fragrance, and this fragrance is somewhat familiar." After calming down, I remembered everything that had happened before, and I seemed to smell a fragrance that gave people the impression that it was some brand of perfume used by a woman.
When I was a child, I had a disease that my sense of taste was not very good, but my nose was very smart, and then my sense of taste improved, and my nose became more agile, and when I smelled a smell of smoke, I knew that there was a smell of grilled fish in it.
"Scent?" Director Zhang thought about it carefully, and then glanced at me, "You were scared silly, right?" How can there be a fragrance? In that place, there was only the smell of dampness, the smell of water, the smell of grilled fish. ”
I didn't smell it wrong, there was a faint scent, it seemed to be jasmine, very light, and I seemed to have smelled it somewhere before, but I couldn't remember.
After resting for a while, Director Zhang and I came to the entrance of the cave and took away the two talismans at the entrance of the cave.
"Let's go!"
Director Zhang looked frightened, grabbed my arm, and ran back without looking back, Director Zhang was afraid that the ghosts in the cave would chase after him.
After running for a few minutes, I suddenly remembered the desperate look before Lingling dived, and even wanted to cut off relations with me.
I've broken the heart of the spirit, I don't care about the spirit, will I go back?
"Aren't you looking for the murderer?" I asked Director Zhang.
Director Zhang scolded, "Why am I still looking for it? If you keep looking for it, your life will not be guaranteed! With so much going on tonight, do you dare to stay here? The killer has erased all traces and fled, and if he could have been found, he would have been found long ago. ”
"I'm out of bullets in my gun, and I don't know how to write a report on it, and I'll talk about it tomorrow."
Director Zhang, like me, is frightened, the police's bullets are counted, can't be used indiscriminately, how many are used, you have to explain to the above where they are used, Director Zhang's biggest headache now is where the bullets go, is it said that the bullets are used to fight ghosts?
"I'm going to stay and find the spirit." I have already made up my mind, no matter how dangerous it is, I will look for it, let's not mess with that ghost, "Brother Zhang, you accompany me to find it." ”
Director Zhang was a little angry and said, "What are you looking for, Ning Que, are you crazy?" ”
"I have already called at night to apply for the transfer of more than 20 people from the police station in the nearby town, they will all be dispatched, stay in Shangnan Village for a week, and let the village chief arrange for the villagers to find them tomorrow, they have been busy all night, aren't you tired, aren't you afraid?"
"Let's go!"
I insisted on staying, I was afraid of the unknown, but when I remembered Lingling's desperate eyes, I felt uncomfortable.
I know I like Lingling, and maybe, from the moment we got married, I wanted Lingling to be my daughter-in-law.
Seeing Lingling killing, I am very conflicted, sometimes I am sure that Lingling is the murderer, but most of the time I am suspicious.
In any case, I won't believe it until the matter is investigated, and sometimes, what the eye sees is not necessarily the truth.
I promised Lingling that I would protect her, take care of her, and care for her, but now, I haven't done it.
"Brother Zhang, then you go back, I'll stay alone." I insisted again and again.
"Crazy, crazy!" Director Zhang shouted, "Follow me!" ”
As he spoke, Director Zhang saw that I was resolute and directly locked my left hand and his right hand with handcuffs.
Now, I can't walk if I want to, I asked Director Zhang to open it, no matter what I said, he didn't pay attention to me at all.
I understand that Director Zhang is worried about me, the relationship between Director Zhang and my father is not ordinary, last time my father fell into the water, if something happens to me again, Director Zhang can't explain to my father at all.
Director Zhang even called my dad, and my dad also asked me to go back quickly, my dad said that to protect others, you must first protect yourself, and now you can't even protect yourself, how to protect others?
On the way, I met Zhang Hui and three others, but I didn't see a single villager helping to search.
Zhang Hui said that the villagers originally helped to search, but Mrs. Fang asked the villagers to go back, saying that they had encountered evil spirits tonight and should not search again.
The so-called evil is that when we meet the ghost, the villagers hear that there is a ghost haunting, they all go home, close the doors and windows, and do not go out.
Director Zhang asked Zhang Hui and Wan Jiali to withdraw as well, there is no need to check tonight, there are so many things that have happened, Director Zhang is very tired, and he has no heart to investigate.
Along the way, Wan Jiali asked about the ghost, and Director Zhang suddenly became angry and scolded Wan Jiali a few words.
That night, Director Zhang and I stayed at Lingling and Uncle Li's house, Uncle Li's family died, Lingling was not at home, and we just checked in.
I had nightmares all night when I saw a ghost chasing me from behind, until I reached the river, and after I jumped into the river, a white snake was chasing me again, and I was scared to wake up three times in one night, and every time I woke up, I was sweating profusely.
Early the next morning, the village chief called Director Zhang, saying that Li Ergou had died, and this news made Director Zhang scold.
Director Zhang's face was ugly, and the whole person looked weak, it seemed that he didn't have a good rest like me last night.
When we arrived at Li Ergou's house, Li Ergou died on the bed, his face was hideous, there was a puddle of water stains on the mat, there was mud and seaweed in his mouth, and there were some fish scales on his stomach.
After the police investigated the scene, they took the body away, and Director Zhang reluctantly came out of Li Ergou's house with a gloomy face, we all know that there is absolutely no clue to this corpse.
The two sons of the Li family, the eldest son lives in the city, regardless of his parents, although the second son is not doing his job, but he is very filial, and now he is counting on the second son to support the elderly, and now Li Ergou is dead, and the two of them are heartbroken.
At about 9 o'clock in the morning, more than 30 policemen came to the village, asked the village chief to convene a villagers' meeting, set up three tables at the door of the village committee, and asked all the women in every household to be present, except for the elderly and children.
For the police to investigate the case, the villagers are very cooperative every time.
Director Zhang and five policemen were present to check the women in the village, who were 16 to 55 years old, looking for women who were not in the village, and began to take the villagers' information and began to roll call.
Of the three hundred and twenty-seven people, thirty-six were working in other places, nine returned to their parents' homes, Lingling was missing, and the rest were present.
Next, all the family members of these forty-five people were left behind, and they asked for their calls, and Fang Jingmin, the daughter of Fang Shenpo, was not present, but Fang Shenpo refused to cooperate, and was not even willing to come forward.
Director Zhang handed over these matters to the other policemen to deal with, and took me to Fang Shen's mother-in-law's house, and several villagers followed.
After seeing Mrs. Fang, Director Zhang didn't ask yet, Mrs. Fang had a dark face and was furious, "Director Zhang, are you going too far, you can check other people, you actually found out about our family Min'er!" ”
Director Zhang was not angry, nor angry, with a businesslike attitude, "The murderer last night was a woman, very familiar with the environment in the village, definitely a person in the village, and all young women were suspicious, so we cast a large net and eliminated them one by one." ”
"All the villagers are actively cooperating, Mrs. Fang, why don't you cooperate?"
