Chapter 17: The Breakthrough
"People who practice martial arts, look in all directions, are not afraid of danger, have a strong ability to adapt to any danger, fight with anyone, will protect the vital point, it is extremely difficult to attack its head, how can Lingling do it with one hit?"
"You've known Lingling for a few days, do you think Lingling can kill?"
The villagers said that it was the river demon who knocked the Jiuyang Daoist down on the boat, and Lingling succeeded, but my father was still a little skeptical.
There is no answer to this question, first of all, we need to find the spirit.
"By the way, you go check the fishing boat now." My dad suddenly made a strange request.
"Why are fishing boats inspected?" I asked.
My dad said, "The river demon we saw was covered with scales, and the river demon hit the boat several times, knocking people away, what if there were any clues left?" ”
"Even if it's a demon, we have to know what kind of demon it is."
What my dad said was very reasonable, I thought about it for a while, our fishing boat was not damaged at all, and the river demon only knocked people into the water, and did not hurt anyone, and the only person who died was the Jiuyang Dao Chief, not killed by the river demon, but Lingling.
When you think about it, it's a strange thing.
So, I put on my clothes and looked at the time, half past one.
I tiptoed out the door, and when I arrived at the port, it was quiet all around, and I couldn't help but feel a little nervous when so many things happened.
At night, there was no one in the harbor, the ships were chained to the posts, and all the tools were locked in the cabins.
The moonlight was bright, the river was calm, I didn't turn on the flashlight, and just stepped on a boat, I suddenly heard a 'clang' from the village chief's boat on the right.
"Who!" My heart tightened and I shouted.
There was no movement, silence.
Did I hear it wrong?
I shouted again, "I've found you, don't hide, show yourself." ”
Actually, I didn't find out at all, I said it on purpose.
"Who are you?" The other party replied, it was a woman, her voice was cold, and she was a little familiar.
"I'm Ning Que, who are you?" Three watches in the middle of the night, how could anyone be on the village chief's boat?
And it's sneaky.
Soon, a figure came from behind the cabin, staring in the direction of my side.
In the moonlight, I could see this woman clearly, wearing a short black skirt with a white short sleeve on top, her breasts bursting out, her long hair in a shawl, and a delicate face that was as cold as frost.
It turned out to be Jing Min, the daughter of Fang Shenpo, I was very surprised, I was not impressed by this woman, she was very smart, and I had never spoken to her before.
I grabbed the chains and climbed towards the village chief's boat, "Jingmin, the third watch in the middle of the night, what are you doing here?" ”
Jing Min asked rhetorically, "I should ask you this sentence, right?" What are you doing here? ”
I didn't say that I came to investigate, saying, "My dagger can't be found, it may have been left on the ship, I'm here to look for it." ”
"Isn't it?" Jing Min didn't seem to believe me, "Won't the search for the dagger come back tomorrow morning?" Do you have to come now? Let's be honest, I don't like to lie. ”
I came to Jing Min's side and looked at Jing Min carefully, she had a very large satchel on her waist, and there were a few thin translucent threads leaking outside.
This bag is very mismatched with her, and it is a little weird.
I said, "That dagger is my family's ancestral heirloom, it is my talisman, there are so many things that happened tonight, it was very chaotic at that time, when I returned to the village chief's house, I couldn't find the dagger, so I came out to look for it, why should I lie?" ”
The dagger was just an ordinary dagger, and it wasn't lost, it was in my bag.
"It's you, Jing Min, what are you doing here?"
Jing Min said coldly: "What? What am I going to do, do I need to report back to you? Three watches in the middle of the night, it's best to go back and rest, you and your dad angered the river demon before, be careful when you encounter the river demon. ”
I said, "Aren't you afraid of the river demon?" ”
Jing Min said, "I am the daughter of the goddess, how can I be afraid of the river demon?" ”
Jing Min has always treated me coldly, she must be hiding something from me, and she won't tell me.
"If you don't say it, forget it." I said, "I'm looking for a dagger." ”
After saying that, I ignored Jing Min, looking for traces on my dress, Jing Min didn't pay attention to me, and walked towards the cabin.
There were three boats involved in the accident, and I first looked carefully for the village chief's dress.
Suddenly, there was a scream behind me, followed by the sound of falling water.
"Help, save ......"
I was taken aback and rushed in the direction where the sound came from, and Jingmin fell into the water and quickly sank underwater.
I didn't care so much, I jumped directly into the water, Jing Min struggled three meters away from me, choking on the water, kicking her feet around, as if something was pulling her.
I immediately swam over and rescued Jing Min without any problems, but I didn't see anything underwater.
I patted Jing Min on the back, Jing Min spat a few mouthfuls of water, coughed repeatedly, and shivered in my arms.
I hurriedly asked what was going on?
"It's you......" Jing Min suddenly pushed me away, "It's you...... You pushed me into the water! You're going to hurt me! ”
I was stunned, "Nonsense, you're in the bow and I'm in the stern, how could I possibly push you into the water?" If I pushed you into the water, why should I fish you up? ”
Jing Minhua's face was pale, and said, "It's not you who else, it's just the two of us on the boat, it must be you!" ”
I remember Lingling saying before that she had been in this situation many times, and someone pushed her into the water from behind, but there was no one on the boat at the time.
I said, "It's not me at all, don't worry, what happened to you just in the water?" Why can't I swim up? ”
"Yes...... Someone is pulling me......" Jing Min's body was trembling again.
I hurriedly went over and hugged her in my arms, Jing Min's body was very cold, and I said, "Don't be afraid, you say, what did you see?" ”
"It's Lingling." Jing Min looked frightened and said, "It was Lingling who grabbed my leg and pulled me down ......."
Spirit? Why didn't I see that just now?
I asked, "White or red?" ”
Jing Min said: "It's a ...... in white clothes"
At the beginning, the spirit spirit I saw in the river, the spirit that wanted to kill me was white, and after the spirit escaped tonight, he was wearing red clothes, could it really be that there were two spirit spirits?
I comforted Jing Min for a while, I asked Mrs. Fang what arrangements she had, Jing Min was the daughter of Mrs. Fang, she must know a lot of things, she couldn't come here alone in the middle of the night.
Jing Min said, "My mother asked me to come to the boat to check for any traces on the ship, so I came to check it for a while. ”
It turned out that Jing Min came here for the same purpose as me, to find out what kind of monster it was, but I was a little strange, "Why didn't you check it before?" At that time, the villagers were all there and could help. ”
Jing Min said, "What do you know as a layman?" The more people there are, the more traces will be destroyed, and the demon is a thing, can ordinary people find out? ”
I asked, "Did you find out anything?" ”
"Nope." Jing Min was a little helpless, and said: "There is no trace, the ship is clean, except for some water stains, there is nothing else." ”
I checked on the boat for a while, and sure enough, there was nothing, so I sent Jingmin home and sent her all the way to the door.
"Your gatehouse is beautiful." I used to come to Fang Shen's mother-in-law's house, and I didn't pay attention to the courtyard gate of her house, and the two wood carvings on the gatehouse are a dragon and a phoenix, which are very eye-catching in the moonlight.
Jing Min said, "This is all exquisite, my mother is a goddess, and there are taboos on the feng shui at home, the placement of various objects, and the diet and daily life." ”
Before leaving, Jing Min thanked me for saving my life tonight.
Early the next morning, Director Zhang called me and asked me to go to the entrance of the village, parked an Audi, and waited for me there.
After I met Director Zhang, he told me that the villagers didn't know that he arranged the matter of Jiuyang Daoist, and Director Zhang asked me face-to-face what happened last night, and I answered truthfully one by one, and I didn't miss any details.
After listening to my narration, Director Zhang asked me a few questions, and then his brows were furrowed, his face was full of sadness, and he fell silent.
After a while, Director Zhang lit a cigarette, took a long puff, and said, "Things are getting weirder and weirder, on the side of Jiuyang Daoist, I don't even know how to explain to my friends in Longhu Mountain, and I don't even know how to write a report to it!" ”
Director Zhang couldn't help but burst into foul language, Jiuyang Daoist was introduced by Director Zhang's friend, and he had an accident just two days after he came, and Director Zhang didn't know how to explain it to his friend.
There is also a report to the public security department at the next level, is there a monster in writing the report? Will the above believe it? Writing a report like this, I'm afraid Director Zhang's position won't be saved.
Director Zhang said that if we had taken a few photos or recorded a video at that time, and had evidence, things would have been easy to do, but now without evidence, even if the villagers have seen the demons, these testimonies will not be on the table at all.
After Director Zhang calmed down for a while, he said two plans, first, to secretly investigate with all his might, and second, to use all the police force to go down to the river to catch demons!
However, Director Zhang also said that these two plans have been done by several other directors, and in the end they were in vain.
Director Zhang continued to ask me questions, and I suddenly remembered what Lingling said to me, "Director, the people who died in the village, except for Uncle Li, are all people who have bullied Lingling, and yesterday Lingling told me that except for Li Ergou, who did not die, the other people who bullied her at the scene are all dead." ”
"Li Ergou?" Director Zhang immediately took out his mobile phone, which contained detailed information about all the villagers, and soon, Director Zhang said, "Li Ergou, thirty-seven years old, unmarried, living with his parents, his family is poor, Li Ergou has a big brother Li Dagou, who later changed his name to Li Furong, works in Chengdu Pharmaceutical Company, regardless of his parents and younger brother, and even has broken away from his parents, he is a scumbag." ”
I looked at the photo of Li Ergou, his face was full of scum, very sloppy, thirty-seven years old was the same as a forty-seven-year-old person.
"Stare at this person." Director Zhang seemed to see a new continent, the sadness on his face slowly unfolded, and said, "Perhaps, this person is our breakthrough." ”
