The main room is noisy, and there are people inside and outside.

On such a hot day, there is no wind, all kinds of people are floating in the air mixed with the smell of sweat, and also mixed with the stench of corpses, the air smells bad.

Liu Wenying hugged her swollen son, and cried miserably, her voice became hoarse, and no one tried to persuade her.

The main room was so smelly, I couldn't breathe, and I couldn't treat people at all. The big guys didn't dare to get too close, so they gathered together in the yard.

Go back, I can't suppress my curiosity, I want to know what's going on, and when I figure it out, I won't be afraid anymore.

The unknown is the scariest.

Village head Zhao came and said that the case had been reported and that someone from the police station would come soon, as would the county public security bureau, and told Liu Wenying to rest assured.

These words irritated Liu Wenying, "Don't worry? My son died for no apparent reason, what kind of heart should I care about? Get out! Get out—"

Emotionally broken.

The big guy went out with Village Chief Zhao, and stood in the open space outside the gate to whisper.

There was no way to digest this news for a while.

People have died in the pond, especially the big pond. Crazy Li’s child died there, and some jumped into it because they couldn’t think about it for a while. Gone.

But I have never heard of such a way of death, let alone seen it.

Oozed panicked.

A happy event turned into a mourning event, something happened to Liu Wenying's baby pimple, she was hit hard, and she was afraid that she would fall ill.

The weather has been very hot recently, and people who are hot climb the walls. Many people in the village will wash their faces in the big pond after finishing their farm work. They also wash their clothes there every day, and some go directly to the water to take a bath.

The corpses are all like that, it must not have died last night, it must have been dead for several days.

They retched at the thought of a body standing underwater.

Fortunately, tap water was connected to the village last year, otherwise we would have to go to the pond to fetch water to eat, that would be really...

"Who did it? It's too fucking useless!"

"Those who will be punished by the gods will definitely be struck by lightning, just watch..."

Village head Zhao sat on the tree stump, and waved his hands solemnly, "Let's go away. When the policemen come later, it won't be easy for them to investigate the case if you are blocked here."

Someone suddenly raised his voice, "Then what, Crazy Li called someone standing in the water that night, could it be..."

He gulped, not daring to continue.

The surrounding suddenly became dead silent.

Everyone was motionless as if they had been tapped.

Qi Laosan cursed, "Fart! Then Crazy Li said that the evil spirit is here to harm people. Where is the evil spirit? Where is it? Let him come out and open my eyes!"

"Third, what are you doing so loudly? If you bring in some dirty things, you won't even be able to send them away!"

The others were trembling, their faces were dead pale, and their eyes were still staring at Qi Laosan.

Qi Laosan pointed at the people in a circle, with a look of contempt on his face, "Everyone is getting better and better, and you will believe what crazy people say. I think you are cowards even if you are not crazy."

"Then tell me, how could such a coincidence happen?"

"You ask me, who do I ask?"

"Where is Crazy Li? Why haven't you seen him?"

"Sleeping in the house."

"Nothing strange?"

"What's so strange about him? He's just a lunatic, and he can't run as fast as my goose."

"You know shit!"

"Okay, everyone, don't say a few words, when is it still noisy!"

Village Chief Zhao sighed, "Feudal superstition is outrageous, and the police will investigate and find out. Go back, everyone."

The big guy couldn't control his mouth, and the discussion started.

"Is it human?"

"Nonsense, ghosts want people to die, just scare them to death. As for doing something like that? Let me tell you, this is revenge. Who knows who Wenying's son has offended."

"That's right. Water monkeys drag people into the water. They bind their hands and feet to keep people from going ashore, and they don't know how to tie them to stakes with thick hemp ropes. So it's definitely not the water monkeys who did it."

"It's true, have you ever seen a water monkey?"

"..."

Gao Ran was on the phone in the back room, his hands were still shaking, and as soon as the phone was connected, he said, "Mom, it's me, something happened."

He told the whole thing briefly, his voice trembling.

Liu Xiu on the other end was stunned for a while after listening, suspecting that she heard it wrong, "What did you say?"

Gao Ran sniffed and repeated, "Cousin is dead."

There was a loud sound of the stool being knocked over from the other end of the phone, accompanied by Liu Xiu's startled cry, "Gao Jianjun! Gao Jianjun!"

Not long after, Gao Ran heard a calm and steady voice, "Xiao Ran, I heard from your mother about your cousin, you look at your aunt, don't let her do stupid things."

"knew."

Gao Jianjun asked, "Does your cousin know?"

Gao Ran said, "I've been notified, she's on her way back."

Gao Jianjun asked again, "Where's the police?"

Gao Ran said, "The village head reported the case. This is a murder case. The police station will contact the Public Security Bureau. The Public Security Bureau will notify the criminal police team. They will send people to investigate soon."

Gao Jianjun explained, "Don't let anyone touch your cousin's body. Once the traces left by the murderer are destroyed, it will be difficult to find clues."

Gao Ran moved his lips, saying that it was too late, "My cousin was soaked in the water, and was picked up by several people, and my aunt hugged him and didn't let go."

Gao Jianjun was silent for a while, "Let's do this first."

Before Gao Ran hung up the phone, he heard a voice from the other end. His father told him that a man should be calm when encountering a problem and not be afraid. He pursed his lips and said in a crying voice, "Well, I'm not afraid."

In fact, Gao Ran was terrified of dying.

My cousin's corpse was swollen like a giant, his stomach swelled like a ball, his eyeballs were protruding, his tongue was sticking out, his face was swollen badly, his skin was gray-green, exuding a pungent corpse smell As soon as he was put in the main room, flies flew in and bit the corpse.

There were a lot of fish and insects in the water, they gnawed at many places of the corpse, and some aquatic plants grew. My cousin no longer looks like a human being.

The first time Gao Ran saw it, his stomach cramped, and the acid water sprang up, and he couldn't show the slightest disgusted expression.

Auntie is already very sad.

After a moment of silence in the room, Liu Xiu hurriedly opened the drawer to get the money.

Gao Jianjun said, "We are not the police, and rushing there in a hurry will not be of much help."

Liu Xiu looked up, her eyes were red, "Then what do you say?"

Gao Jianjun said, "Don't panic."

Liu Xiu raised her voice, "You said lightly, when is this, you tell me not to panic, can I not panic? Wenying is my sister, not your sister, I don't believe that something happened to my old family, You can say that too!"

Gao Jianjun scolded, "Liu Xiu!"

Liu Xiu sneered, "Can't you?"

Gao Jianjun waved his hands, and the porcelain jar on the table fell to the ground. The crisp sound startled Mrs. Gao. She came in tremblingly, "What are you arguing about? Where's the three-year-old child?"

Liu Xiuzheng was furious, and said in a very aggressive tone, "Mom, you don't know anything, can you stop making trouble?!"

Gao Jianjun patted the armrest of the chair, "Liu Xiu, why are you mad at Mom?"

Granny Gao's withered mouth moved, "I'm going to find Xiao Ran."

She went to the main room to call her eldest grandson "Xiao Ran", and then went to the courtyard to call her, wherever she went.

Liu Xiu blew her nose and calmed down, "I'll go see Mom."

Gao Jianjun stayed in the house for a while and came out, "You stay at home with Mom, I will go to the factory to find Liu Hui, and ask him to come with Wenying."

Liu Xiu said yes, "When are we leaving?"

Gao Jianjun looked at the sky, "Go now, I will call you if there is a situation, and when everything is clear, I will come back with Xiao Ran."

Liu Xiu simply packed a bag for him, remembering what her son said about tying the stakes, a chill came down her back, "You guys should be worried, just cooperate with the police investigation, don't find the murderer yourself."

Gao Jianjun hummed, "Mom, you took care of it."

Liu Xiu chased her for a while, and remembered that the old lady was still in the house, so she turned around quickly, fearing that someone would get lost.

In broad daylight, the village was very quiet, there was no one in the field, and they stopped doing work, and they all closed the door and chatted in their own houses.

Liu Yu rushed back at this time and was in a meeting when he received the call.

Knowing that something happened to her brother, she suddenly stood up at the table, and rushed out of the conference room with a pale face under the astonished gazes of others.

Back home as fast as possible.

The door was closed tightly, and the main room was filled with a stench. Liu Wenying sat next to her son's body, her hair was disheveled, her eyes were empty, and she was frozen.

Liu Yu was in such a hurry that she didn't even have time to change her high heels.

She got out of the car and rushed into the village. She sprained her foot on the way, and it was red and swollen. After entering the house, she took off her shoes and limped to the main room.

Seeing the corpse surrounded by flies on the ground, Liu Yu gasped, his whole body was stiff, and he trembled for a while before making a sound, "Mom, I'm back."

Liu Wenying's eyeballs rolled, and her head turned accordingly. She looked at her daughter with scarlet eyes, and said nothing, with no expression on her face.

Liu Yu's scalp went numb from the sight, she drove away the flies, and shouted again, "Mom, it's me."

Liu Wenying's eyes fluctuated, grief and indignation condensed a little bit, and exploded with a bang, she yelled, her voice was hoarse, and she burst into tears, "Xiaoyu, your brother was killed——"

Liu Yu hugged her mother, choked up and said, "The police will investigate."

Gao Ran sat on the threshold, listening to the crying in the main room, he sighed, and looked at a peach tree in the distance.

The old saying is true, tomorrow or accident, you never know which will come to you first.

In the past few days, he always comforted his aunt the day before, saying that his cousin might come back the next morning, and he did come back this morning.

But what came back was not a person, but a corpse.

This is a vicious murder, not a murder for money, but a vendetta.

Gao Ran grabbed a stone and threw it out, hoping that Feng Bei took the case of his cousin, not the fox.

Now that Feng Bei is here, he won't be afraid anymore.

The people from the police station came over, and they changed their faces when they saw the corpse, saying that they had handed over the case to the Public Security Bureau.

Someone will be over there soon.

Liu Wenying fainted from crying. Liu Yu just came back and didn't know anything, so she had to ask Gao Ran to answer the questions from the police station.

Gao Ran said everything he knew.

After the people from the police station took simple notes, no one left. They all stayed and waited for the people from the police station, and sent a person to guard the scene by the pond.

The murderer's modus operandi is too cruel, which is incompatible with the simple folk style here. It may involve old things, and this case may be a bit tricky.

Gao Ran went door to door, thinking that he would get something, but he didn't expect that the result would not be what he wanted. He didn't see black spots on anyone's forehead.

Crazy Li didn't have any on his forehead either.

Gao Ran squatted under the tree, took a steel forge and turned it on the ground, repeating this action over and over again.

The vegetable seller killed someone several years ago, leaving a spot on his forehead, like a mark, marking the crime of the other party.

He saw it with both eyes, really.

There should be this time too.

Not long after, Yang Zhi and trace inspector Xu Hao appeared in the village, and they went directly to investigate the scene.

Accompanied by Village Chief Zhao.

After working all morning, Village Chief Zhao was exhausted. He invited the two criminal policemen to sit at home. Just after making tea, the Public Security Bureau came.

Village head Zhao hurried to the entrance of the village to receive him.

Gao Ran came out to have a look from time to time, and when he saw Feng Bei's figure, he ran over there as fast as he could.

That posture is a bit like the baby chicken seeing the mother chicken.
