In the dark, the two of us came to the shore of Zhonghu Lake by the dim street lamp, but we saw a quiet lake: there was not a single ripple on the entire lake!

Where did the sound of falling water come from?

"Haunted?" I muttered.

"Do you believe in ghosts?" Chu Ying asked me.

I shook my head: "Don't believe me, what time is it?" ”

"Nine o'clock in the evening."

"What were the first two times a body was found?"

"Ten o'clock to eleven o'clock." Chu Ying remembers it more clearly.

I nodded: "Let's hide for two hours and see if anyone comes!" ”

There is a lot of vegetation near the middle lake, green trees and grass, although it has reached the early winter, almost thanks, but because the area is not small, and there are not many street lights nearby, there is a black hole hidden in the bushes, and there is really nothing to see.

We just crouched in the bushes for almost two hours, but we didn't find anything. There was no one at the lake during this time.

"Whew...... My legs are numb! I stood up and stretched, and slowly walked to the middle lake with Chu Ying, looking at the quiet lake: "It seems that it is really possible to commit suicide, isn't there no dead person tonight?" ”

"It means that Brother Gu Rui, you are my lucky star!" Chu Ying said playfully: "As soon as you come, I will be fine here in an instant." ”

"Ha, then you will invite me to drink mutton soup?" I raised my chin and looked at Chu Ying.

"Good! Then I'm going to treat you to supper now! Chu Ying said and took my hand and was about to leave, but she didn't take two steps, but she suddenly heard a "gurgling" sound in the lake behind her, as if something had emerged from the lake.

"What's the sound?" Chu Ying looked back with a smile, but she didn't expect to be followed by a scream: "Corpse!" ”

I was stunned, hurriedly turned around and ran back to the shore, and saw a black corpse floating on the lake: "Damn! It's dead! ”

I was just about to call Chu Ying to call the police, but I saw that Chu Ying didn't know where to take out a walkie-talkie, and after saying a few words, three policemen came over from the darkness of the park.

It turned out that I had been prepared for a long time...... I shrugged, and it looked like this girl hadn't called me here to be the main force.

Soon, the body was fished up, and it was a deceased person. Naturally, I was still wearing that miserable white mask, and even when I looked at it from such a close distance, I found it difficult to distinguish whether this mask was a real human face or not.

What kind of process is this to be able to create such a realistic mask.

The mask was lifted, and the deceased was a man in his thirties, with a normal expression that looked like suicide.

I suddenly remembered the sound of falling water I heard when I first came, and turned to Chu Ying and said, "We've been waiting here, and your three colleagues have been watching from here and there, so no one should be coming, right?" ”

Chu Ying shook her head: "No." ”

"Then there's only one possibility."

Chu Ying paused: "You mean, this person died before and sank to the bottom of the lake, just at this time?" ”

I nodded: "Yes, when we first came here, we heard the sound of falling water at the entrance of the park, so it should be that the deceased fell into the lake." And I guess, it's not suicide, it's homicide. ”

"Why?" Chu Ying looked at me suspiciously, and even her three colleagues turned their heads to look at me, but their eyes were full of contempt......

"The person the murderer is looking for this time must also be a deceased who has no relatives and simple social relations." I squatted down and pointed to the deceased's pants: "But this time he was a little negligent, because the deceased was relatively young, he wore a pair of corseted jeans, and it seems that he has been wearing them for a while, and the elasticity has deteriorated a little." ”

As I spoke, I reached out and pulled the deceased's blouse upwards, revealing the trousers around the deceased's waist: "So, there is a trace of being tied with a rope here." ”

Chu Ying and the others took a closer look, and it was true that there was indeed a shallow strangulation mark on the pants on the deceased's waist, which was definitely tied by something.

"You're saying he was killed, tied something with a rope and thrown into the lake?" Chu Ying looked suddenly enlightened.

"Well, yes!" I nodded with a sense of accomplishment, ready to accept their compliments.

"Oh!" Chu Ying looked at the deceased and asked, "Then, how did the deceased die?" ”

"I don't know!" I replied very simply.

"That's an egg!" Chu Ying pinched me!

"It hurts!" I hurriedly escaped a few steps, solved the case for you, and pinched me.

"Forget it, Xiao Wang." Chu Ying beckoned to a young boy: "You hurry up now to check this person's information, and I will follow the ambulance to the hospital to see if I can find out how he died." ”

"What about me?" I asked.

"You follow me to the hospital!" Chu Ying gave me a blank look.

An hour later, I was standing outside the hospital testing room yawning. Chu Ying stood beside me and was full of energy, holding her arms and looking like a detective.

"Xiao Chu!" The door of the examination room was pushed open, and a middle-aged man wearing a police uniform and a white lab coat walked out: "The inspection report is out." ”

"So fast?" Chu Ying hurriedly walked over and took the inspection report: "What do you say?" ”

"Indeed, the dead were drowned." The middle-aged man said, "But according to your guess, there is only one possibility, he was drowned elsewhere and then thrown into the middle lake." ”

Chu Ying nodded thoughtfully: "Got it, thank you!" ”

After that, Chu Ying called her colleague again, and after hanging up, she looked helpless: "You guessed right, when we heard the sound of falling water, there was indeed a person sneaking into the park, carrying a person on his back, and throwing him into the middle lake." However, this person is a veteran, he is dressed very tightly, and he walks in the dead corners of the surveillance video, and we just saw a picture. ”

"What about the deceased?" I asked.

"You guessed it again." Chu Ying shrugged: "He is also an orphan, he came to Huimin two years ago and worked as a small worker for a living, and he didn't even have a friend to talk to." ”

"What does the bureau say?" I laughed.

"As it is the same, based on a surveillance image that can't see anything, it should not be evidenced, or commit suicide, and do not file a case."

"Well......" I sighed and thought for a moment, "By the way, can you show me that mask?" ”

Chu Ying nodded, walked into the examination room, and gave me the white mask in the evidence bag.

I looked at the mask in the bag, it was very white, I couldn't tell what material it was made of, it was the same size as the human face, the facial features, and even the pores on the face were very realistic! I looked at it and reached out and took it out.

This is the first time I have touched this mask, and the first feeling is very soft, an indescribable softness, this feeling, it is like really touching the face of a living person!

Wait, the face of a living man?!
