Chapter 6 The Water Ghost Leads the Murderer
Li Muyu was often brought to the Different Cases Division, and Li Muyu, who was already full of curiosity, was deeply attracted by everything in front of him after walking into the door of the Different Cases Division. It was the evidence that should have been placed in the evidence room, but here, the bags of evidence were right in front of him, and Li Muyu knew that behind each piece of evidence were telling supernatural stories.
Li Muyu held the evidence of the Zhangjiaba water ghost incident in his hand and asked Lao Chang, who recalled it and began to tell the story of the case.
The water ghost event took place in May, when the weather had already started to get a little hot. Especially here in Xiaoping Village, the land is located in a mountain col, and it is windless and hot in summer.
Therefore, every summer is always the most headache for people, but in Xiaoping Village, there is a place that the villagers of Xiaoping Village know to go to take advantage of the cool and relieve the heat. But there...... In short, no one really goes there just to cool off.
The old man in the village said that the place was not good, it was a place of evil. In the early years, there was a river there, and the whole Xiaoping Village was blessed by the mountains and rivers, and it passed in peace and tranquility for hundreds of years. However, it was not until a few years ago that the city began to build a water conservancy project, and a large barrage project was built next to Xiaoping Village, the Chenjia Dam.
The old people said that the construction of the Chenjia Dam destroyed the feng shui of the whole village, and that the Chenjia Dam was built on the yin and evil positions mentioned in the feng shui. The reason why Chenjiaba is still cool in this hot summer day is entirely because of the heavy yin qi. It's fine during the day, but at night, there might be something gathered there.
Due to the admonition of the old people, the villagers of Xiaoping Village never go to Chenjiaba at night to enjoy the coolness. Since the construction of Chenjiaba began to store water, there has been no lack of strange legends. The river was blocked by Chenjia Dam, and all kinds of things that flowed down from the upstream of the river were stopped in Chenjia Dam, and Chenjia Dam has a large water storage capacity and deep water, so it has always been said that there is something in the water of Chenjia Dam.
It was a hot summer, just around the corner, the hottest time. Even at night, the people of the village were still too hot to stay in the house, and they sat on the threshold of the door with their fans, fanning themselves against the wind, and taking advantage of the occasional breeze blowing through the doorway.
Everyone in the village knows that Chenjiaba is cool, but because of the taboo of the old people about Chenjiaba and various legends about Chenjiaba, even if it is hot, they will not run to the dam at night.
But the children in the village are different. They don't know what yin qi is, and they don't know what taboo is. I just heard that Chenjiaba must not go, but a few days ago, I saw Abba catch a delicious big fish from Chenjiaba in broad daylight. Therefore, for children, Chenjiaba is simply a fun place hidden by adults.
The weather was really hot and unstoppable that day, and the rat baby couldn't stand the difficult weather in summer, and the idea of running to Chenjiaba rose in his heart. After thinking about it, the rat baby stopped taking the warnings of the adults to heart, ran out of the house, found a few friends in the village who had the same idea, held a few watermelons, and walked towards Chenjiaba.
Since I went out for dinner, it was already dark when I arrived at Chenjiaba. The children had not yet reached Chenjiaba, and they had already felt a burst of shade. Chilling by the water, the happiness of eating watermelon instantly filled the hearts of several children.
Finally saw the river of Chenjiaba, the rat baby cheered, hugged the watermelon and ran towards the reservoir, to the water's edge, the rat baby first threw the watermelon into the water, took a few steps back, and ran away, and a fierce man plunged into the water. The rest of the children saw someone enter the water first, raced against each other, shouted, and jumped into the water with watermelons in their arms......
By the time the report was received, the children had been dead for a day, and none of the five children survived. At that time, the case was characterized as a drowning incident, but the villagers of Xiaoping Village said that it was haunted, so we went to Xiaoping Village to refut the rumors in order to appease the emotions of the locals.
It was only when I arrived in Xiaoping Village that I felt that things were not so simple, and the faces of the corpses of those children were distorted and deformed, which was clearly a sign of being frightened and struggling before death.
Ling Ran and I went directly to Chenjiaba that day, and in the middle of the night, after we had done some calculations, Ling Ran jumped into the water of Chenjiaba to find the water ghost that the villager said. But we didn't get anything that night.
The next day, there was no progress in the investigation in the village, and in the evening we were squatting on the Chenjia Dam again, and even had to swim a few laps in the water every night.
Until the third day, it was Ling Ran's water. He didn't go into the water for a while, hurriedly tread the water, raised his head and changed his breath, and a fierce man plunged into the water, I saw Ling Ran's behavior, and knew that it might be the main master, so I also got into the water and swam towards Ling Ran.
Under the water, with a flashlight, I saw that Ling Ran was entangled with something, and when I swam closer, I saw that it seemed to be a woman, whose body had been blistered to reveal her white bones, but there was still a little rotten flesh on her face.
Speaking of which, Ling Ran is also powerful, with his own strength, he and the woman are in a stalemate in the water, and no one can help anyone. Seeing this, I swam over, broke free from the entanglement with Ling Ran, and fled back to shore.
Although we didn't catch the female ghost in the water, our goal was also achieved, and Ling Ran drew the female ghost with the memory of seeing the female ghost's appearance. With the help of the blurry portrait, we visited several nearby villages, and finally found that in Xiaoping Village, there was actually someone who knew the woman in the painting.
Along the way, we know everything about this female ghost. This female ghost was called Li Juan before her death, she was the widow of the Hu family in Xiaoping Village, and it was miserable to say, and there were no relatives in her family after the death of the man. There was a ruffian named Wang Laoshu in the village, who drank a little wine one day, and then became gallant, and raped Li Juan in Li Juan's house, and Li Juan jumped into the river and died the next day.
It has been two years since this case happened, because Chenjiaba began to make trouble, the case was solved, and later Wang Laoshu was arrested, and we also found Li Juan's bones at the bottom of the river in Chenjiaba.
Li Muyu's brain listened to the story told by Lao Chang, and looked at Lao Chang suspiciously: "You didn't lie to me?" ”
However, Li Muyu regretted it after asking. But these words are indeed a bit absurd when they come out of the mouth of Lao Chang, an old police officer.
"You haven't seen anything like that in a car accident?" Lao Chang was not surprised by Li Muyu's doubts, and looked at Li Muyu and asked rhetorically.
Asking this, Li Muyu couldn't help but think of the car accident he had experienced, and the female corpse that crawled out of the back compartment seemed to sound more absurd than any female ghost. Li Muyu smiled self-deprecatingly, and turned his eyes to look at other evidence.
