Chapter VII: Investigation

Shen Wei rubbed the soil on the ground with his foot and looked around aimlessly. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the sunset has been hidden behind the mountain in the distance, the fiery red glow reflects the sky, and Liu Ling's white cheeks are as red as drunk. Shen Wei seemed to steal the beautiful scenery in front of him, and smiled seemingly inadvertently: "It's not early, there happens to be a shop over there, I invite you to eat cold noodles at night..."

"Okay." Liu Ling gently brushed the broken hair scattered on his chest behind his ears, glanced at Shen Wei's eyes and stopped answering.

The manager of the cold noodle restaurant is a standard Northeast man with five big and three thick, surnamed Wang, who is very bold and can talk. After chatting for a few words, Shen Wei began to cut to the chase: "By the way, what do you think about the loss of Yang Laohan's livestock at the entrance of the village?" ”

"Hey! What else can I do? The store manager Lao Wang fanned the big fan and said: "As far as I listen, Lao Yangtou and his family must be thinking about something, otherwise this can't be a disaster for his family, and there are two families outside his house who raise something and nothing." ”

"What's going on?" Shen Wei and Liu Ling glanced at each other and asked curiously.

"Oops!" Lao Wang slapped his thigh, glanced left and right sneakily, and motioned for Shen Wei to come over. Shen Wei leaned over, and Lao Wang said mysteriously: "On the door of Lao Yang's house, there are two bloody handprints!" ”

Shen Wei scratched his chin and nodded thoughtfully: "Then, Brother Wang, are there any strange rumors in our village?" For example, how can there be any foxes, fairies, wild civets, cats and so on? ”

"I don't know, I don't know." Lao Wang replied angrily: "I have only been here for two years, and I don't know much about the specifics, but you can ask Sister Lao Yang from the shop next door for a while, she is familiar." ”

As he spoke, the waiter had already brought two bowls of noodles. Liu Ling looked at the noodles and quietly picked the braised egg into Shen Wei's bowl with chopsticks. "Picky eater again?" Shen Wei asked with a smile.

Liu Ling turned his face away, pretending to be looking for chili peppers: "It's... No, I'm just not used to the taste of braised eggs. ”

Shen Wei didn't ask any more, and swallowed the braised egg with a smile. I didn't expect this man's wife to care about people, although the way is a little lame, but the heart is warm.

After eating, Shen Wei took Liu Ling into the small shop next door. "Eldest sister, two bottles of iced tea." Shen Wei took out six yuan and handed it out. The proprietress took the money and took out two bottles of iced tea from behind her and handed them to Shen Wei, after Shen Wei thanked her, she said, "By the way, eldest sister, do we have any strange legends in Yang Village?" I want to know. ”

The proprietress asked suspiciously, "Why are you asking this?" ”

"Oh, actually, I'm a student in the Department of Folk Culture at Peking University." Shen Wei lied and didn't blink his eyelids: "Don't you want to graduate, I want to write a thesis on this." ”

"Oh." The proprietress nodded, as if she agreed with Shen Wei's statement: "If you want to talk about the legend of Yang Village, it's not that it is nothing, but you may not believe it either." ”

"Oh?" Shen Wei became interested, put his head up and asked, "What legend, might as well tell me and listen to it?" ”

The proprietress organized the language and narrated: "This is to say that I was a child, it is said that there is a wolf demon on the turret mountain here, and it is said that it is a wolf demon, but in fact, it only has a wolf head and a human body. Our village always loses a chicken and a rabbit, and Yang Youcai at the entrance of the village is said to have seen this wolf demon. And then everyone is so panicked not to deal with it is not a way, the governor at that time invited a big gentleman who is said to be a disciple of Maoshan to come over and catch the demon, and then he never lost a chicken and duck, I heard Mr. Big said that it was for this wolf demon to break, but this god chattered about things, that is, everyone has nothing to do and talk about fun, you two just listen to it as a joke. ”

"Are there any other legends?" Shen Wei asked tentatively.

The proprietress picked up the white enamel teapot and poured saliva, picked her eyes and thought for a while, and replied pertinently: "No, what I know is this matter, and the rest are like jumping monkeys or something, they are all to scare children, and they can't be taken seriously." ”

"Okay, I got it." Shen Wei nodded and replied, thanked him, and then pulled Liu Ling out of the shop.

"Where are you going now?" Liu Ling looked at Shen Wei and asked curiously, "Wolf demon, do you think it will have something to do with the wolf demon?" ”

"If it's a wolf demon, it's a human being who loses it." Shen Wei took a sip of the iced tea, wiped his mouth and said, "Go and wait in the car to see what will happen tonight." ”

Due to the dry weather, there are no clouds in the night sky to block the moonlight, not to mention the thirteenth day of the lunar calendar, the moon is still quite large, just hanging in the sky, sprinkling clear light, but it can also barely help people see the road at night. Shen Wei and Liu Ling sat bored in the car and were silent, doing the work of waiting for the rabbit.

"Shen Wei, I..." Liu Ling was the first to break the silence, but he hesitated to continue halfway through his words.

Shen Wei looked at Liu Ling with a smile and asked with concern, "What's the matter, something on your mind?" ”

"I'm sorry, I pulled you out to work with me on such a hot day..."Liu Ling's eyes stared at the Yang family's courtyard, and his eyes flickered: "Am I too selfish?" ”

"How so?" Shen Wei smiled and patted Liu Ling's jade hand, which seemed to be comforting, but was actually rubbing oil: "Actually, I think it's good to give you a hand when you're fine, I'm personally very happy, of course, except that my salary is a little small." ”

"What do you want so much money for?" Liu Ling asked curiously.

"For example, buy new clothes for Wan'er, Ah Dong also has to buy clothes to wear, you know, Wan'er, this little girl loves beauty very much... And Wan'er likes to eat very much, of course I want to buy it for her..."Shen Wei argued, but no matter how he looked at it, he felt that he was a little weak-hearted.

Liu Ling turned his head lightly, squinted his eyes and asked, "Oh? Is it? And at the end of the street where your detective agency is located...? The voice grew cold, and the temperature in the car plummeted.

"Ahh This..."Shen Wei sweated like rain, and his face was embarrassed with a capital letter: "That..."

"Internet addicts, incorrigible." Liu Ling concluded coldly: "Especially, you can bet!" ”

"Ah Ling, don't slander good people, who gambles..."Shen Weiwu stiffened his mouth and forcibly defended.

"Humph!" Liu Ling snorted coldly and interrupted Shen Wei's defense: "It seems that you still want me to remind you, right, Shen Da gambler, Dota 2!" The International! ”

"Uh... This..."Shen Wei was trembling and sweating: "The matter of opening the box... Can it be considered a gamble? ”

"I don't care." Liu Ling glanced at Shen Wei with disdain, and turned his head: "If you let me know what box you opened again, don't blame me for being ruthless!" ”

Shen Wei looked out the window embarrassedly, thinking that she would definitely clean up Su Wan'er, a little girl, when she went back. "This little girl's feelings are learning small radio at school, and she specializes in our little reports!" Shen Wei thought viciously, his heart was full of thoughts of abusing little Lori.

Just as Shen was thinking nonsense, the big yellow dog of Yang Laohan's family suddenly howled twice and then disappeared. The two hurriedly opened the door and broke into the courtyard of Yang Laohan's house, and found that the big yellow dog was lying in a pool of blood without a sound. Shen Wei ran over to take a look, shook his head and walked to the side. "How?" Liu Ling asked curiously.

"There was a fatal wound to the neck, which looked like a one-hit kill." Shen Wei sighed, looked up and asked Liu Ling, "Have you seen anything?" ”

Liu Ling shook his head in denial, and just when he was confused, the cry for help from Yang Laohan's second daughter-in-law suddenly came from the house. Liu Ling hurriedly ran over and knocked on the door: "Hello eldest sister, I am a police officer from the Beijing Public Security Bureau, may I ask what happened in the house?" ”

The cries for help disappeared, and after a few seconds, the door slowly opened, revealing a face that looked very pale due to panic: "Sister-in-law... Sister-in-law, she... It's gone..."
