Wan Jiali was reprimanded by Director Zhang and was silent on the side.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Zhang Hui called and said that Fang Jingmin had returned to his uncle's house, he was busy with the Dragon Boat Festival, and he didn't go back, and he would stay for a few more days this time, everything was normal, and Director Zhang asked Zhang Hui to continue to stare at Fang Jingmin.

After three days in a row, all the women in the village were screened without any clues.

Seeing that a week has passed, the body of the Jiuyang Daoist has not been found, and Lingling has not been found, so I worked with the police to search the riverbank every day, and even investigated our Shangxi Village, but there was no result.

The strange thing is that during the week we investigated, there were many policemen, but not a single person died, and some of the brave villagers still fished during the day and came back at night, and no one had an accident.

It seemed that everything had quieted down, and the police had evacuated the village, because many people had been transferred from other police stations to assist Director Zhang for only one week.

After the police left, Director Zhang was about to go crazy, he was physically and mentally exhausted recently, and he became angry at every turn, and he ordered Director Zhang to solve the case within a month, otherwise, Director Zhang would be dismissed.

Director Zhang is confused every day, and even in order to solve the case, he borrows alcohol to kill his sorrows, and my dad doesn't have any ideas recently, so he can only let us wait for the rabbit, but we have no goal, and I don't know who will die.

Director Zhang went to consult Mrs. Fang, and Mrs. Fang said that as long as Lingling was okay and no one bullied Lingling anymore, the village would be safe.

We can only follow the clue of the carpenter, the carpenter in the village, thirty-six people, three middle-aged women, the rest are men, and most of them are not engaged in this industry.

There is a famous carpenter named Li Kui in the village, his ancestors have been carpenters for several generations, and his skills are very good.

Li Kui's family opened a carpentry factory, saying that it was a factory, but in fact it was a small workshop, making models for some furniture companies and handicraft companies, and occasionally making some cheap custom furniture, with only two workers, in their forties, who were villagers in the village, and Li Kui and his wife also had to work with the workers.

Li Kui welcomed us very warmly and invited us to the simple office and poured tea.

I found that Li Kui was very face-to-face, it was the first time we met, the villagers' meeting, and the village chief's affairs, Li Kui never came forward, chatted for a while, it turned out that Li Kui and his wife had long stopped fishing, and all their income was from the wood factory.

Li Kui also knows a little about the affairs in the village, and the couple can be said to have turned a blind eye to things outside the window, just doing their own business, and after the death of someone in the village, they will also make a little profit and send some money and goods.

As the saying goes, it's not about hanging high, we can understand.

Wan Jiali inspected the factory, and Director Zhang asked Li Kui about the ghost portrait we saw that night, but we didn't say it was a ghost.

Li Kui looked at the portrait for a long time and gave us an answer, "This looks like a mask." ”

Director Zhang said, "Even if it's a mask, it's a mask made of wood, do you have this skill?" ”

Li Kui thought for a moment and said: "I don't have this craft, in the early years, I mainly built ships, these years, I used wooden boards to make doors and windows, as well as supply to some small companies, and make some models, all of which are machine-processed, and there is very little craftsmanship." ”

"This craft is manual work, and it also has to be combined with dyes and clay sculptures, which can only be made by skilled wood carvers, and I don't have that ability."

Woodcarver?

The wood carver is an extremely powerful hand carver, who can carve landscape patterns, portraits, lifelike, and there are no such powerful people in the village.

We left Li Kui's house, Director Zhang arranged for Wan Jiali to keep an eye on Li Kui, and the other two policemen were a man and a woman who followed Director Zhang to our village for the first time, named Li Yong and Wei Huili, and the two drove fishing boats in the river every day to investigate, and at night, lurked near the port.

After three days, no one in the village had an accident, and Li Kui didn't have any useful information on his side, he drove a tricycle yesterday and delivered a batch of custom-made furniture to the Shangxi Village family.

At about eleven o'clock tonight, Wan Jiali suddenly sent a message: Li Kui went out and passed in the direction of the port.

Director Zhang immediately replied to the message: Don't startle the snake, follow it secretly, and don't be discovered.

After hanging up the phone, Director Zhang immediately greeted the two policemen lurking in the port.

Director Zhang and I went out and set off in the direction of the port.

Li Kui and his wife usually don't go out, and they don't participate in the affairs of the village at all, and when they go to the port so late, everyone has a lot of doubts in their hearts.

Seven or eight minutes later, as we approached the port, Wan Jiali sent another message that Li Kui had driven away a fishing boat and headed up the river.

After Director Zhang and I arrived at the port, we arranged for Wei Huili to continue to stay near the port, and the others got on the fishing boat together and sailed upstream.

A hundred meters away, there were points of light, it was Li Kui's boat, our boat did not turn on the lights, secretly tracked, and moved quickly along the river.

Li Kui's boat was very fast, and after about half an hour, Li Kui's boat stopped in the middle of the river, and a strong light shone in our direction, and we were discovered.

We turned on the boat lights, and the boat moved forward quickly, stopping next to Li Kui's boat.

When Li Kui saw us, he said loudly, "It turned out to be Director Zhang, it's so late, what are you doing in the river?" Are you still working on the case? ”

The four of us got on Li Kui's boat, and all eyes fell on Li Kui.

Director Zhang said: "We are indeed handling the case, Li Kui, you are so late, where are you going?" ”

Li Kui gave us a cigarette and said with a smile, "It's not that there is some problem with the goods, the wardrobe door I made for the family in Shangxi Village is three centimeters high, and it can't fit in. ”

It turned out to be a decoration, there was a problem with the door, and the next process was going to be done tomorrow morning, which was very urgent, so Li Kui contacted and sent the door over, and the road time was long, and the waterway time was short, so Li Kui took the waterway.

We inspected the cabin and it did have a newly made bedroom door, as well as some tools.

Director Zhang asked, "So many people have died in the village recently, and there are river demons infested, you are really bold." ”

Li Kui said with a smile, "Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, I'm walking at the end, I'm doing right, I'm not afraid of those demons and monsters." ”

As soon as Li Kui's words fell, suddenly, his expression was twitching, foaming at the mouth, and his face was frightened, and then, the whole person suddenly retreated backwards, as if something was pulling him!

"Help!"

"Save ...... I! ”

Just now, a shadowless and invisible thing grabbed Li Kui and retreated, and overturned from the boat gang!

It all happened so fast, we were chatting with Li Kui without any warning.

Shocked, we rushed over, and there were a few blisters on the surface of the water, and it was calm.

Director Zhang took out his gun and aimed at the water, each of us looked vigilant, and two words came out of my heart - river demon.

"Li Yong, get into the water!" Director Zhang shouted.

"I'm ......" Li Yong's face turned pale, "I'...... At this time, it is extremely dangerous to go underwater, and I am not good at water. ”

"Coward!" Director Zhang ordered, "If I ask you to do it, you will do it, quickly!" ”

Li Yong was so hesitant that he didn't dare to go into the water at all.

I had already grabbed the rope from the boat and tied it around my waist, and threw the other end to Li Yong.

Director Zhang didn't stop me and said, "You must be careful!" ”

I was also nervous, grabbed a flashlight and jumped into the water.

It was dark underwater, Li Kui had disappeared without a trace, and there was no half figure in sight where Li Kui fell into the water just now.

I was about to surface when suddenly, more than ten meters away, a white python more than twenty meters long swam quickly!

I shuddered, and immediately surfaced, yelling, "Quick...... Pull me up, river demon, river demon is coming! ”

Director Zhang and the others were taken aback, but Li Yong panicked and threw away the other end of the rope, and the rope fell into the water with a clatter, and the other end of the rope was not tied to the boat at all.

Damn it!

The waves rolled behind me, a huge white tail shot out of the waves, and in the moonlight, the white scales glittered, and I swam forward desperately in fear.

A wave of water drowned me, but the tail of the giant python did not attack me, and threw it at Director Zhang and Li Yong fiercely!

Li Yong was stunned, rigidly present, and didn't know how to hide.

"Die! I don't believe in any demons and monsters, damn me!! ”

Bang bang bang......

Director Zhang roared and fired three shots in a row, but the bullets did not hinder the python in the slightest, and Director Zhang and Li Yong were drawn by the tail and fell into the water.
