Chapter VII: Murder Suspicions
That night was the last drunken time of my life.
The next morning, I called home again to report that I was safe, and then accompanied by Ma Haibo, I visited my uncle, who was still being treated in the hospital, and at noon, we went to Castle Peak in that battered police car.
In the car, Ma Haibo thanked me for a while, he said that the social impact of this case was very bad, and the above was more urgent, and they were so busy that they jumped on their feet, but there were no clues at all, but fortunately I was a strange person to help. I feel that since I played Gu Xie yesterday, his attitude towards me has started to become very stubborn. I didn't speak, I nodded my head to show that I knew it, and I didn't deny it, squinting my eyes and thinking about things.
The two cases of corpse mutilation occurred at night. The first deceased was an idle man from Segai Village, thirty-two years old, who lived by going to the construction site to do some small work on weekdays, but he was too lazy to mix in anything, he liked to join in the fun, and he wanted to fight, and he could be moved by a few dozen yuan and a good meal of wine and food; The second deceased was a young man who came back from a job, and he didn't have any enemies, so he had a sip. These two are in the east of a village and five groups in the west of a village, and they are not connected at all, so there is no connection.
The only thing is that both were cut into a dozen pieces and thrown in the wilderness.
After driving through Qingmeng Township, the road conditions were much worse, and there were many rocks on the road, and I was dizzy when I went to Segai Village. However, at this time, my body has improved, and I have been silently reciting the Nine-Character Heart Sutra in my heart, and I don't feel too tired. When they arrived in Segai Village, there was still a tense atmosphere inside, and people were panicking, and the special case team dispatched by the Public Security Bureau in Segai Village had not been withdrawn, and they were still investigating, and a police officer in his forties asked Ma Haibo a little and did not ask again.
It can be seen that Ma Haibo is still quite high in their team.
Ma Haibo was called to a meeting while I wandered around the village. This is a poor small mountain village, eighty percent of the houses are dilapidated wooden tile houses, and the houses are scattered. There are a few children in open crotch pants playing with mud next to the village road, no one cares, and a blind old man is basking in the sun in the yard where he is drying grain, and he is smoking dry tobacco.
A sloppy man came from the village, saw a few children playing with mud, ran over and said with a smile: "Come, show you, I have picked up a lump of gold, hahaha, I have found a lump of gold...... The children scattered in a hurry, and shouted as they ran: "The madman is coming, the madman is coming......" The man ran past me shirtless, with a crooked face: "I don't lie to you, this is not cow." A fourteen or fifteen-year-old student ran over to help him: "Uncle, uncle, why did you run out again?" โ
The latter helped the man to the back of the village, and the man muttered to himself: "This is not cow, it's Jin Tuotuo!" โ
I always felt that something was wrong, so I ran to the blind old man and asked, "Grandpa, was that person crazy just now?" โ
As soon as the blind old man put down the cigarette gun, his white eyeballs rolled over, and he groped for a stool next to him to greet me: "You are a family member who has come to the village, right?" Come, sit, sit. I sat down, and he said, "Alas, it's Le, Wang Baosong is a madman now." "Didn't he before, I asked?"
"No, he used to be the eldest filial son in the village, and he is almost forty years old and still guarding this field and living with his wife. It's a pity that he picked up a big lump of gold on the mountain the year before last, and he thought he was rich and sold it, but he was said to be a fraud and was locked up for more than a year before he was released, and that's it. There's no money to treat, and no one cares, and his wife is half of the people who have been cut into the ground, and he can't manage it......"
I remembered what my uncle told me, and I didn't expect it to be this crazy man I met.
"How is his wife now?" I then asked. The blind old man sighed: "Alas, what can it be? Fortunately, there is a young lady to take care of her, otherwise she would have died early in the past two years. "Qing Yanzi? - I'm very strange to say, the blind old man told me that Qing Lingzi is the one who was born just now, and has a little kinship with Wang Baosong's family, so he often helps them, and in the past two years, it is Qing Yanzi and his family who help take care of it, and Wang Baosong's family survives.
He's a good guy! I thought.
Many people say that the countryside is simple, and it is the last paradise of human beings, and few people who say this have probably stayed in the countryside, in fact, it is the same everywhere. I don't know what to do elsewhere, but in the villages I have lived in, I have often encountered brothers who are at odds, widows who are bullied in front of their homes, or who steal chickens and dogs...... There is no filial son in front of the bed for a long time, not to mention a little kinship, at this time, he can stand up and take care of it, and he is a good person who does good.
People are poor and short-minded, people are poor and afraid, what can't be done?
At this time, Ma Haibo came to me and said that he would take me to the scene of the first murder. I asked him if there were any clues there. He said that there was, but they were all sent to the bureau for testing. I said, what am I going to do? I'm not a god. He smiled and said that although it wasn't, it was about the same. I told him what I had just heard, and Ma Haibo said that although he did not handle it, he had read the dossier, and he had not turned it over.
I laughed and said that the common people said that Huang Laoya was a bully, isn't it greasy?
Ma Hai Bo Ha laughed and said that there was a fart cat.
When he saw that I didn't believe me, he said that he would go back and show me the file, the evidence was conclusive, and it was really an iron case. When he said this, he remembered another incident, saying that he showed me the file yesterday, which was the one that the seven-year-old girl died mysteriously, her father was Huang Laoya, and this boss was also unlucky, not only did his daughter die tragically, but he also had a sudden serious illness, and now it is estimated that he is almost hanging. He also said to me: "I remember that beautiful girl Huang Fei yesterday, her uncle is Huang Laoya." โ
I suddenly felt sick and told him I was going to go to the madman's house. Ma Haibo glanced at me and said You sympathize? I smiled and said that I didn't know what to do, but I just suddenly wanted to take a look. Ma Haibo said yes, he called a village cadre and took us to Wang Baosong's house at the back of the village. I felt like I had some nerves, my brain was messing around.
Walking through the barn of a family, I couldn't help but stare at the old buffalo inside.
The old buffalo was grazing, it was getting old, and it was eating very hard, and when it saw me looking at it, it also raised its head to look at me, and the two of us stared at each other for a while, and I was so enchanted that I couldn't even hear Ma Haibo calling me. The old cow looked at me, and suddenly, tears fell from the bright black eyes of the bean. I touched its face through the fence, and it didn't move, so I took a small handful of tears.
Then we walked on, and Ma Haibo asked me what I was doing, and I wiped the cow's tears on my eyelids and said that I didn't get anything.
Ma Haibo grabbed my hand and said, "Do you see something?" I stopped and asked him, "What's wrong?" Ma Haibo's face was a little pale, and he told me that the second person who was killed was the son of that family. At this time, I remembered that all the things I had just done seemed to be done unconsciously.
Could it be that the Golden Silkworm Gu in my body is controlling my consciousness?
Somewhere in my heart was singing happily, it seemed like a green sprout had just emerged from the fertile earth, soft, weak, carefully connected to me, like a little pet, like a child abandoned by its parents, longing for the care of his family - damn, how could I feel this way? Could it be that this natal Gu has already been subdued by me? How can it be? The book says that the Golden Silkworm Gu is less than half a year, and more than ten years, and it needs to pray day and night, and recite the scriptures night and night before it can be slowly transformed and collected for oneself.
I know that although I was able to instruct him to drug Yang Yu yesterday, it was more of a strong driving relationship.
But in the bottom of my heart, there is a consciousness that is telling me: where to go, where to go......
********
After a while, we came to Wang Baosong's house.
It was an old wooden house, with two compartments and a kitchen at the back, half of which had collapsed. Wang Baosong sat in his messy yard, staring blankly ahead, with rolling mountains and terraced rice fields, and a clear river like a silver ribbon, winding into the distance. When he saw Ma Haibo in uniform, Wang Baosong immediately jumped up, knelt on the mud ground in shock, and shouted: "Report to the government, I didn't lie to anyone, it's really gold, it's really ......."
He snorted as he spoke.
Ma Haibo's face was very ugly, at this time there was a knock in the house, and the descendant called Qing Yanzi ran out, he looked at the three of us, and looked guarded: "Who are you?" What are you going to do? He was wearing a washed yellow blue school uniform, with the logo of Qingmeng Primary School embroidered on his left chest.
Ma Haibo said: "Little classmate, we came to see Wang Baosong and his mother. โ
His tone was soothing and his face was kind, but the young man still looked at us warily for a moment, and then shouted into the room, "Milk, someone has come to see you." After saying that, I took us in, looked at the barren yard, which had no weeds, and without speaking, I followed Ma Haibo.
There was a musty smell in the house, the smell of old cotton and rotten wood, the air was not circulating, there was a bed in the dark room, and I saw an old man lying in it, lying on his side, with a brown-red beanie, and the mosquito net had turned gray-black. "Young lady, turn on the lights." The old man's voice was weak. With a click, the light came on, and it was a 30-watt incandescent lamp, dusk and yellow. Qing Yanzi moved a few benches, and Ma Haibo sat at the head of the bed and said a few words that were not painful.
I looked inside the room, except for some decades-old furniture, the real home was surrounded by four walls.
However, I was not concerned with that, and I could see more of the extraordinary after wiping the tears of the ox: the whole room was black and steamy, and there was a sour and rotten smell wandering, especially in a compartment under the bed, and there was a solemn corpse smell. The old man on the bed looked like a dead man more than a living person, and the young man who was serving tea and pouring water on the side also had a fierce aura on his forehead.
Where does this gas come from? How can I see that?
Because my eyes were coated with cow tearsโcows rarely cry, and the saddest cry in my life is only when I am put on the slaughterhouse. It is kind-hearted, hard-working, but it is usually considered to be able to communicate with the spirit of the animal, in ancient times in Miao Township Dong Village, it is generally used to sacrifice the head of the cow, which is divided into two kinds of life sacrifice and cooked sacrifice, and there are places where the cow is regarded as a god, such as Hinduism, such as the Buyi nationality in the southwest of our country, the Gelao people have the "Cow God Festival", "Worship the Cow King Bodhisattva Festival", "Sacrifice to the Cow King Festival" and so on...... In short, if you put on cow tears, you can see different things (if someone doesn't believe it, you can wipe it a little when people are doing funerals).
The water brought by Qing Yanzi, the bowl filled with water was black and full of grease, I didn't drink it in my hand, but Ma Haibo and the village cadre were not good at serving the shelf, I didn't care, I drank two sips, Wang Baosong and his mother kept coughing, she saw me, and asked: "Hou Shengzi, how do I see that you are a little familiar, where are you?" "I said I was from Dadunzi Town. She said, oh, looking at me weakly, I stared at her in the mosquito net, and said that my grandmother's name is Long Laolan.
She didn't speak anymore, the atmosphere froze, Ma Haibo offered to go back, and I took out a thousand yuan from my pocket and put it next to my pillow.
When I came out, I saw Wang Baosong huddled in the corner of the hall, and I felt that his messy hair was full of blood.
I walked a long way, and I felt that in that dilapidated room, there was a pair of eyes staring at me, bright like a flashlight in the night, cold and chilling.
