"Well, Brother Lu, help me check the origin, history, and any strange things that have happened in the Bailang River over the years." I said it directly.

"Okay, I'll sort it out and send it to you later." Lu Xing nodded and said.

Just when I was sitting in the office waiting for Lu Xing to sort out the materials and send them to me, it was Zou Haitao who hurriedly walked in first, and looking at the surprised expression on his face, I knew that there must be some clues.

"Team leader, you are so godly, we found a recording of Zhang Zengbao's phone call within three months at the 10086 manual service desk of the mobile company, and then I took it to the technical department, and after testing and comparison, it can be proved that the previous call was Zhang Zengbao." Zou Haitao said excitedly.

For this answer, I didn't have too many surprises, but it strengthened my judgment in my heart, there are still some doubts in this case, but I didn't say much to Zou Haitao, just instructed: "You go and check the situation at his house, and whether anyone in their construction company has behaved abnormally recently." ”

"Team leader? Shouldn't this case be closed? Zou Haitao looked at me puzzled, in his eyes, as long as it is proved that the call was made by Zhang Zengbao, it can be determined that all this was directed and acted by him, just because of accidental drowning.

"At first, I thought it was simple, and some of the words of Forensic Doctor Su reminded me that the handprint on Zhang Zengbao's ankle was in the wrong direction, it should be a right hand, and the tiger's mouth was facing forward, and it was impossible for me to do it at all, that is to say, Zhang Zengbao should have an accomplice?" I said it directly.

"Accomplices?" Zou Haitao was stunned by my inference again, but he didn't suspect anything, just nodded firmly and said, "Okay, I'll definitely check it out." ”

After Zou Haitao left, Lu Xing also walked over with some information, "Team leader, just now when I was sorting out the information of Bailanghe, I found a very strange thing on the Internet. ”

"Oh, what's the matter?" I asked, somewhat surprised.

"It's also about Bailang River, it's Zhang Zengbao's case, someone took a picture of Zhang Zengbao's handprint on his ankle yesterday, and then spread it to the Internet, and now many people believe that there are rumors of water ghosts in Bailang River." Lu Xing said with some concern, if this kind of thing is vigorous, the impact will definitely be bad, and it will even lead to pressure from above.

Public opinion is a powerful force, but it is also a double-edged sword.

"Contact the website forum and ask them to delete the post, and at the same time check who the poster is, if there are not enough people, you can directly find the second group of VIPs." I commanded directly.

"Okay, team leader, I'll do it right away." After Lu Xing finished speaking, he put down the information and turned to leave.

I don't know why, I suddenly have a feeling in my heart, things seem to be getting more and more troublesome, and even definitely not as simple as Zhang Zengbao, behind this matter is like an invisible black hand controlling everything, although it can't be seen or touched, but it really exists.

Next, I took a closer look at the information that Lu Xing brought, to be precise, the history of the Bailang River should be traced back to hundreds of years ago, the reason why it is called the Bailang River is because it is located on the tuyere, every time a strong wind blows, the river will set off a white wave, so it is named the Bailang River.

The Bailang River originates at the Yatou Reservoir, and several small rivers join it along the way, and finally it becomes larger when it enters Qingshan.

However, some people say that the Bailang River was not called the Bailang River before, but called the Bailong River, the legend is that there is a white dragon living in the river, every year to the Dragon Boat Festival or the Double Ninth Festival, the white dragon has to make waves, if the nearby residents do not offer sacrifices, they will encounter great disasters, for this reason, some residents will go to the outside to steal some children as sacrifices, and then sink into the river.

However, this statement has not been confirmed, but during the Anti-Japanese War, many corpses sank into the river, which has been confirmed in the subsequent cleanup of the river.

In addition, I also found a strange place, since the government began to plan the Bailang River three years ago, and wanted to build a water park on it, for which the citizens of Aoyama City had a heated discussion for a while, but in the end, I don't know why, the matter ended without a problem.

And a while ago, someone started to mention this plan, but I don't know why it was suppressed again.

Faintly, I feel that there should be something to do with the two.

After thinking about it, I took the materials and came to Bai Xue's office, Qi Yan happened to be there, and when she saw me coming, her head twisted, and she turned around and went out without paying attention to me.

Bai Xue glanced at Qi Yan in some surprise, and then looked at me, but didn't say anything, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"There's something I want you to help me look it up into." As I spoke, I took out the page of information that I had picked out, and it was the matter of the Bailang River plan that had been rejected twice.

"Bailang River? Something to do with previous drowning deaths? Bai Xue looked at me with some puzzlement, although she didn't take care of the case specifically, it was still clear what the case was in the team.

"It's kind of related." I said it directly.

"What about that?" Bai Xue also knew more or less about the drowning death case, and it was said that it was related to some water ghosts, but after I asked, she didn't pay attention to it, and at this time, when she saw me mention this case, she couldn't help but ask.

"Hmm!" I nodded, I didn't hide it, after all, this matter still needs her assistance, although I can find Song Hao and use the information channels of the Seventeenth Department, but that is a bit overkill, and secondly, such a heavy weapon is not something that can be used casually, otherwise it will attract the attention of the people concerned.

"Okay, I'll check it for you." Bai Xue nodded and said.

"Be careful, don't alarm the other person." I have one last reminder.

There was nothing until I got off work, but when I was about to drive home, Qi Yan still unceremoniously occupied the co-pilot, but she didn't speak after she came up, and simply twisted her head to the side.

Looking at her appearance, I smiled and didn't say anything, don't look at the work, it's a criminal policeman, but after all, it's still a girl who is not very old.

At night, Qi Yan is obviously still in the stage of being angry with me, eating and watching TV, but she doesn't talk to me, although I know that as long as I am willing to coax her, it will definitely be fine, but I give her more hope at this time, and she will be more painful in the future, so I can only keep my words in my heart, and take a shower and go back to the house after eating a full meal.

Seeing me leave, Qi Yan was stunned for a moment, and two lines of tears flowed silently.

At night, I was lying in bed, seemingly asleep, but in fact my consciousness was cultivating in a meditation diagram, and suddenly, I felt the mobile phone that was placed outside ringing, and my consciousness was instantly detached.

I opened my eyes, fumbled with the mobile phone on the bedside, and squinted at the number on it, which was Lu Xing's.

I immediately picked it up, "Hey, what's wrong?" ”

"Team leader, something happened." Lu Xing said on the phone a little anxiously.

"Don't worry, you have something to say." I sat up from the bed.

"I've been checking the person who posted it in the afternoon.,After tracking.,I finally found that person.,But just now.,We found him.,It's just that he..."

"What's wrong with him?" I asked.

"He's dead!" Lu Xing replied.

"Dead? How did he die? Hearing Lu Xing's answer, my brows furrowed suddenly, originally I asked Lu Xing to check this person and didn't think too much, but his death made things troublesome all of a sudden.

"It's in Bailang River, it's exactly the same as Zhang Zengbao's death, and even the handprints on the ankles are the same." Lu Xing said on the phone.

"Where are you? Okay, I'll go over right away, and you can inform Zou Haitao and Guo Jinquan, as well as the new forensic doctor Su Chuan. After I finished speaking, I hung up the phone, quickly got dressed, picked up the phone key, and the peach wood sword and hurriedly opened the door and left.

Because of the distance, when I arrived at the scene, Zou Haitao, Guo Jinquan and Su Chuan had already arrived, and in addition to Lu Xing, there were also police officers from three bureaus.

Because it was more than eleven o'clock in the evening, there were no people around to watch the excitement, so there was no cordon, the person's body was placed under a street lamp, and several people stood there watching Su Chuan busy, and when he saw me coming, Lu Xing took the lead in greeting me.

"Team leader, it's all my fault, I didn't find him earlier." Lu Xing looked at me and said with some guilt.

"It's none of your business, if something is destined to happen, even if you find him, it's useless." I comforted Lu Xing, then walked over to Su Chuan and squatted down, looked at the handprint and asked, "Did you find anything?" ”

"This handprint is consistent with the basic judgment on Zhang Zengbao's body, and I didn't find any other scars on him, but there is a point that he drank a lot of liquor before he died." Su Chuan took off his mask and said to me.

I nodded, then stretched out my finger to sense the place of his handprint, still no traces, and this time I checked his entire body, and still did not find the breath of ghosts, at least it proved that this person was not killed by water ghosts.

"Team leader, can a person really make such a handprint?" Zou Haitao couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, there is a kind of martial art in this world called Iron Sand Palm, as long as it reaches a certain temperature, let alone pinching out a handprint, even if it doesn't hurt the skin, it's no problem to pinch off the bones inside." I stood up and walked to the side of the small tree, pinched it gently, and suddenly saw that the thick skin on the tree was pinched and cracked.

Seeing this scene, Su Chuan, who originally wanted to say something, honestly closed his mouth, but the shock in his eyes couldn't be hidden.

"So this man should be killed by him." I turned my head and made a final summary.

"Why?" Zou Haitao asked puzzledly, the scars of the two were exactly the same, why was one an accident and the other killed by him?

"Because the timing of his death was too coincidental." After I finished speaking, I looked at Lu Xing and asked, "Has this person's identity and occupation been clarified?" ”
