I don't know when I almost forgot about the search for the real culprit of the drowning case, but I have been paying attention to the legend of the black fish. Perhaps this change is due to the fact that I always felt that it was a serial killer who was committing the crime, not a ghost.

But the clues provided by Zhu Yue made me realize that things were not what I thought! I have overlooked one of the most important issues - that the initial victim often becomes the perpetrator after many years, and this has been repeated many times over the past six months or so.

Old man Xu and Sun Erxiao caught a big black fish together, and Old Man Xu still has the scar of being bitten by a fish on his calf, and there are too many people in the village who have seen the giant big black fish with their own eyes. Later, Old Man Xu claimed to have seen Sun Erxiao overturned by the fish monster on the river, and two days later people found Sun Erxiao's mutilated body, so the black fish monster murder was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

But is that really the case?

If Old Man Xu is dazzled?

Or did he deliberately hide the truth of the matter and deliberately direct everyone's attention to the big black fish?

Is he going to do this?

Because he guessed who killed Sun Erxiao, and his testimony will decide everything? He was afraid that he would be killed and killed, so he told a big lie?

While these questions appeared in my mind, I also constructed this story:

The second son of the Sun family has always hidden a gold bar at home, and he has never told anyone about it. But there is always a time when people don't pay attention to talking, maybe when he drinks too much, or maybe he pushes pai gow and gets carried away for a while, in short, the fact that he has gold bars is known by the people in the village who often go to his house to play pai gow.

One day, Sun Erxiao caught a big fish two or three meters long from the river, and this fish directly brought him an income equivalent to that of an ordinary worker working for a year.

People hate the rich, especially those who are always favored by good fortune and seem to be very happy. When Sun Erxiao sold fish and got the money, those who knew that his family had gold bars in their hearts were completely unbalanced, so they tried to borrow money from Sun Erxiao.

According to Old Man Xu, Sun Erxiao lent money to those people very generously, but is this really the case? I don't think so, Sun Erxiao didn't lend money to those people at all, and he refused fiercely.

It's very easy to understand.

For example, a person who is very rich himself buys a lottery ticket and wins several millions, so his relatives and friends come to him to borrow money, nominally borrowing, but everyone knows that this loan will not be able to be repaid. In the eyes of the person who came to borrow money, you are already so rich, so why not share some of the windfall; And the people who win the lottery think it's my money, so why should I give it to you?

This means that the person who wins the lottery will hide his name and even wear a mask that completely covers his head.

Those who won the lottery had a chance to remain incognito, but Sun Erxiao didn't have a chance, and after he refused the request of those who borrowed money, death was already approaching him step by step.

So when Sun Erxiao went to the river to fish as usual, the boat capsized, and Old Man Xu saw a big thing overturning the boat and dragging Sun Erxiao into the river. This thing is bigger than an ordinary fish, maybe a big black fish, but it is more likely to be a human being, those who once borrowed money from Sun Erxiao but was refused, and knew that Sun Erxiao's family had gold bars.

These people killed Sun Erxiao and divided his body, pretending to be bitten by a big fish.

After venting their anger, these people aimed at the gold bar of Sun Erxiao's family. But when looking for gold bars, Sun Erxiao's son suddenly appeared, so these people pressed Sun Erxiao's son into the basin and drowned, and then Sun Erxiao's wife also jumped into the river.

Sun Erxiao's family died unexpectedly, and although half of his body was buried, his dead soul always lingered in the river.

In the decades that followed, Boss Sun often dreamed of the tragic situation of Sun Erxiao. He thought it was just a simple nightmare, but he never thought that it was his brother who was complaining to him. Seven years of continuous complaints, seven consecutive years of tossing in the old house, although never in exchange for the desired result, but made the people in the village believe in the existence of the black fish monster.

So under the influence of the ghost wish, Sun Erxiao launched his revenge, and attached himself to his brother's body to hunt down those who left the village. But as time went by, Sun Erxiao was gradually not satisfied with only killing those who attacked him back then, but wanted to let these people taste the taste of losing their families, so he began to attack the descendants of those people.

That's the end of my story for now. After hearing the story I told, Zhang Xixian and Tang Hui immediately took action. Zhang Xi is now calling the town public security bureau, hoping to find out the photos of Sun Erxiao's body forty years ago; And Tang Hui went out to find Old Man Xu.

Ten minutes later, a black-and-white photo of Sun Erxiao's corpse was uploaded to Zhang Xixian's mobile phone. The corpse in the photo does not appear to be a giant, as the abdomen and right leg are completely missing, and the wound looks more like it has been bitten by a shark. In addition to the photographs, there was an additional piece of information: the cause of death was asphyxiation, and forensic and zoological experts were unable to determine the cause of the mutilation.

This additional piece of information convinced me that my inference was correct.

Judging from the photos of Sun Erxiao's body, it seems that he was bitten off his entire left leg and abdomen by a big thing, and this kind of injury will definitely make people die instantly. But the conclusion given by the forensic doctor was that he died of suffocation, which means that Sun Erxiao was first dragged into the river and drowned, and then his body was divided into this way! And the corpse can be a big fish, but it is more likely that it is a person!

Soon, Tang Hui also called Old Man Xu to the private room of the fish restaurant.

Old man Xu was puzzled when he came in, but our attitude towards him seemed to make him realize something, his face instantly became tense, and his brows also wrinkled.

"You ...... What ...... you guys are," Old Man Xu asked with a stammer.

"Don't you love telling stories to people? I also happen to have a story to tell you. I beckoned Old Man Xu to come and sit down, and then told Old Man Xu what I had guessed about Sun Erxiao's death from beginning to end.

In the process of talking about this, Old Man Xu's face turned red and white, and when I mentioned that someone went to Sun Erxiao's house to steal gold bars and kill Sun Er's youngest son, Old Man Xu's lips even trembled.

Without waiting for me to finish everything, Tang Hui also patted the table in front of Old Man Xu at the right time, and said strongly: "What are you hiding?" Hurry up and tell the truth!! ”

"I ...... I...... I, I, I ......" Old man Xu opened his mouth and said several "I" in a row, but he couldn't say the following.

Tang Hui slapped the table again and said, "Do you know what the nature of your untruthfulness is now?" It's not a simple lie, it's a cover-up of a crime, and you're going to go to jail with a lawsuit, you'd better think clearly! ”

"I'm ...... Ay~! I'm lying, I'm lying. Old man Xu lowered his head.
