Secret Notes of a Mystery Investigator

Chapter 12 The Evil God's Tribute (12)
But the old patriarch collapsed on the ground like a defeated rooster. He murmured: "You killed the snake god, and you will be punished."

Head Chen said: "Let's talk about the future, old patriarch, aren't you going to give some explanation for your behavior?"

The old patriarch sighed and said: "Forget it, this is life. It seems that what we don't deserve will never be ours."

The villagers were also filled with righteous indignation, as if they wanted to tear us apart, but they were all afraid of the green cattle around us, and none of them caught up to do it.After a while, the sirens suddenly sounded loudly, and the comrades from the County Public Security Bureau came to support us. Among the police officers, we saw Xiao Ma.

Three days later, we received reports from comrades of the County Public Security Bureau in front of He Zhuang's hospital bed, and an unbelievable truth was revealed to us, all of which sounded like a fantasy.

It turns out that the green ox is not a cow, but an ancient creature called Aotian, and the giant python is also an ancient giant snake called Mo Yun.According to legend, these are two kinds of beasts that suppress mountains. As long as these two kinds of creatures exist in the mountains, they must be rich in products, and they cannot be flooded or burned.However, it is not easy to get these two kinds of beasts, because they are born rivals, but Mo Yun has to be fed with Aotian's milk, so the feeding distance can't be far, it must be close, otherwise the milk will soon deteriorate Therefore, although many villages in the mountains in ancient times raised these two kinds of mythical beasts, very few of them could successfully raise them, and because of their natural hostility, it was necessary to kill each other, so they gradually became extinct. Unexpectedly, these two giant beasts were successfully bred in this ancient village.

It should be said that this is indeed a miracle, but the life span of these two giant beasts is extremely long, and the people in the village don't know how many years they have lived. They only know that these two animals have been guarded by their ancestors for generations, and later the villagers Ignorantly evolved: Mo Yun is actually a dragon, and the dead can ride it into the fairyland, so any dying people in the village are thrown directly into the snake cave to feed the snake, and no one dies well.

Seeing this, we finally understood why the local village did not see an earthen grave, and Xiao Ma finally understood where his mother who disappeared in the middle of the night went, so he passed out on the spot.

But this does not mean that the local people are naked murders, because they themselves follow this law, and every 20 years they have to use virgins and men to sacrifice to the snake god. Milk is the spice used to attract the snake's attention.

So we will see Aotian underwater, because the behemoth in the milking period must do a regular dive.According to the research of zoologists later, it may be a behavior of animals to increase milk production.As for the so-called gear marks on the river silt, they were left by Mo Yun when he was swimming.

As for why the children who sacrificed to the Snake God were asked to guard Aotian, it was because the villagers believed that every time the Snake God killed Aotian's caretaker, the hatred for Aotian would be reduced, which would pave the way for possible future encounters. The basics, but judging from the situation that day, everything ran counter to what they thought.

Both Mo Yun and Aotian are animals that are active at night in the afternoon, so this village strictly abides by the habit of never going out in the afternoon, and the scientists who died obviously did not know this.We were just lucky, firstly, we didn't stay there for a long time, and secondly, we didn't run around, otherwise it would just be a pile of excrement.

In short, this incident made me fully understand that our work is actually a life-threatening situation, because some situations cannot be prevented, and everything can only be solved by luck.I'm definitely not alarmist when I say this, because the next case we are about to encounter is like this.We fully thought about all the difficult possibilities, but in the end we realized that the development of the situation has definitely exceeded the limit of our own thinking, but anyway, I found that I gradually fell in love with this job.

The old patriarch didn't think the behavior of the whole village was so ignorant. On the contrary, he died in a hurry. When He Zhuang was able to move around, we left here with the pony.Before we left, we went to the snake cave full of human bones. The scene was horrible, and the pony burned a stick of incense. Then, with the assistance of the local government, we emptied everything in the cave.

After we went back, we went to Director Qiao again. When he saw the pony, he burst into tears, and we were also filled with emotion.But in any case, this matter was successfully completed, and Aotian, who might be the only one left in the world, was sent to a special institution to raise and care.After spending several days and nights without eating or drinking, the breeder found the little girl.When she came to Aotian's side, everything returned to normal.This very magnificent stroke in the history of our exploration of secrets has passed like yesterday, but for us, there will be new adventures every day.

Cases from 18 and 40 years ago
The gray brick building was blocked because of a homicide.A family near the stairwell was crying loudly. A middle-aged woman in her 40s cried so hard that she almost fainted. The middle-aged man beside her was also frowning, smoking cigarettes one after another, silently.Inside the room, the criminal investigators from the Public Security Bureau were busy collecting fingerprints, various objects, and other details. The girl hanging in the middle of the room had already been sent away, leaving only the hemp rope for hanging in the breeze. Move and shake from side to side.

Section Chief Chen stood outside the house with a serious expression. After a while, the comrades collecting evidence all retreated. Section Chief Chen asked one of them in a low voice: "What do you think of this matter?"

The policeman said: "Except for the deceased and his family members, there is no trace of outsiders at the scene. The initial judgment should be suicide, but we have to wait for the forensic doctor to make a final appraisal, but I think it is very likely."

Chief Chen nodded. He patted the deceased's father and said, "Please come with me."

The two went downstairs again, and Section Chief Chen said: "We understand your current mood very well, but please accept our condolences. Our job is to investigate the truth of the cause of death of the deceased, so some questions may be more direct, and we hope You can understand."

The deceased's father sighed and said, "The only daughter is dead, so what hope do I have, it's useless to be sad."

Section Chief Chen knew that this was not the time to comfort him, so he asked, "Your daughter is in high school this year, isn't she?"

"Yes."

"Who does she usually like to associate with?... For example: Does she have frequent contact with boys?"

"No, absolutely impossible. My daughter is very obedient and obedient. How can she talk nonsense with other boys at her age?"

Section Chief Chen knew that the deceased's father's current state of mind was not suitable for arguing, so he changed the subject and said, "So has anything unpleasant happened to her recently, or have you ever scolded her?"

The father of the deceased said: "No, my daughter has been very obedient since she was a child. Her mother and I have never touched her a finger since we were young, and we have never scolded her. Even if we speak the truth, we will not say anything nasty."

Chief Chen: "Then there is nothing wrong with her physically? I mean, is there anything wrong with her mentally?"

The father of the deceased said: "Absolutely not, my daughter is very lively. She is the literary and artistic backbone of the school, you can go to the school to investigate this. She cannot have depression, comrade, my daughter definitely died of homicide, it is possible Premeditated murder, you have to decide for me." At this point, the father of the deceased burst into tears and wept silently.

Section Chief Chen was not feeling well either. It was a great tragedy that his life ended in the most beautiful years.

He lit a cigarette for the other party, and said: "Don't worry, we will do our best to investigate this matter."

When he returned to the office, he asked his subordinates, "Xiao Zhang, how are you going to write your report?"

"Chief, I think... this case should be closed. The girl committed suicide."

"sure?"

"Based on the evidence we have so far, I can be sure."

Section Chief Chen put down the phone and sighed.

Three days later, Section Chief Chen went to the little girl's house. The happy family of three had become lifeless.The hostess was lying on the bed with dull eyes, and the hostess was more than twice as old as three days ago.Chief Chen said: "Old Wang, the results of our investigation have come out, your daughter..."

Lao Wang slowly raised his bloodshot eyes to look at Section Chief Chen and said, "Go ahead."

Chief Chen said: "Old Wang, we did a very thorough investigation, but we didn't find anything suspicious, which means that your daughter did die by suicide, I think..."

Lao Wang's expression suddenly turned ferocious and he said: "You are talking nonsense. My daughter has no reason to commit suicide. If you can't solve the case, don't use this as an excuse.

Chief Chen said: "Old Wang, calm down, I can understand your mood, but we must be rigorous in criminal investigation, and without evidence, we can only close the case with the information we have. So far, the results are true. That's right."

Old Wang said: "Did you come here to tell me this?"

Chief Chen said: "This is part of our work, if you agree, then..."

Lao Wang immediately said: "I don't agree, if I agree, I will have no face to see my daughter."

Section Chief Chen sighed and said, "Old Wang, now is not the time to say such things. Evidence is the key to solving a case."

Old Wang said: "Chief Chen, thank you for your concern for our family, it doesn't matter, anyway, the child is dead, we are all going to die, and we will all be the same when we die."

Seeing his appearance, Section Chief Chen really didn't know what words to use to comfort him, so he could only say: "Why don't you do this, if you are really worried, apply for an autopsy, I think in case the child suffers this knife again If there is no result, then..."

Lao Wang waved his hand, took out a cigarette tremblingly, lit it up and said, "Section Chief Chen, you are a good person, so I won't make things difficult for you, so that's it." After finishing speaking, he sat down at the table and opened a bottle. Liquor, pour it down.

At this time, Section Chief Chen made a decision that he regretted for life: he comforted Lao Wang a few words, and then left.Early the next morning, he received an emergency call from his work unit: Lao Wang and his wife both committed suicide.

Section Chief Chen put down the phone mechanically, and after a long pause, he finally came to his senses and hurried to the bureau.When he arrived, the vehicle was already ready, and he didn't have time to ask for more details and immediately went to Lao Wang's house.

When we arrived at the scene, the whole scene was horrific, with blood all over the bed.The female deceased was lying on the bed facing east, and was placed in a very strange posture; Lao Wang was lying next to the female deceased's feet, and tied his left hand and her right foot together with a red ribbon.Both of them died by cutting their throats. It is estimated that the blood in their bodies would flow out quickly. By this time, the facial complexion of the deceased had already turned pale.

Section Chief Chen felt a pain in his heart, and his eyes turned black, but he tried his best to stop himself. The policeman next to him, Xiao Xu, found that something was wrong with Section Chief Chen, and came up and said, "Section Chief, are you alright?"

Chief Chen waved his hands and said, "It's okay, have you checked the scene yet?"

Xiao Xu said: "Basically, it's almost over, it's suicide, and I left a suicide note."

Chief Chen said, "Has the evidence been sealed?"

Xiao Xu said: "Not yet, Director Wang instructed you to read it before making a decision."

Chief Chen nodded and said, "Show me the suicide note."

Xiao Xu specially brought the suicide note to Section Chief Chen from the place where the on-site evidence was stored.After he took it, he saw it written in blue ink: "I'm leaving, I'm coming, will you accept me? I'm not afraid of loneliness or suffering, I just want to see you, we walk together, never separation."

Section Chief Chen said sadly: "Hey, Lao Wang, the truth about your daughter has not been revealed yet, so why go to such a dead end? Is there really a hell? If your daughter sees you there, she will be happy? "Speaking of which, Chief Chen took a long breath.

The death of this family did not cause much reaction, because it was not a vicious case after all, and all of them were suicides, so the case was quickly closed.

Chief Chen's family
Finally started a new job, but colleagues saw that Section Chief Chen seemed to be a different person, silent all day long, smoking a cigarette in a daze when he had nothing to do.Such a working state was naturally unacceptable to colleagues and leaders, so the director invited him to the office.The two sat face to face for a long time, and the director became a little anxious, and said, "Xiao Chen, don't you plan to say something to me?"

Chief Chen said: "What am I talking about? Coming here is to humbly accept criticism from the leader."

The director said: "Your attitude is very unacceptable. We will definitely have various difficulties in the process of handling the case, including personal psychology will be touched, but you have to figure out the difference between work and life, and put the emotions in work into consideration. It is not advisable to bring it into life. What do you think?"

Chief Chen said: "I know, I won't do this."

The director sighed and said, "You are the backbone of the bureau, the youngest chief of criminal investigation, very promising, you can't sink down because of the case you are handling? Don't you think this is a ridiculous thing? ?”

Chief Chen frowned and said, "Director, I really don't have any problems, so don't worry about me. As a public security investigator, as you said, what can I do if I don't have any psychological ability to fight back?" , It’s just that I’m really tired these days, so don’t worry too much.”

Seeing that he still refused to listen to the persuasion, the director could only sigh and said: "That's all I said, you decide for yourself."

After get off work, Chief Chen walked aimlessly on the road. He didn't know why he had been in such a low mood for the past two days. Extricate yourself.Is that a little too much?After all, he has been engaged in criminal investigation work for six or seven years, and he has seen murder scenes that are several times worse than this, so it's not like this.

After wandering around for a long time, the night gradually fell.He is still unmarried, and his parents went to relatives' house again. He is very afraid of the lonely feeling when he goes home, especially at this time, because he has been in a really bad mood for the past two days.

After dinner, he went to watch another movie, and it was past eleven o'clock at night after the end.He walked home aimlessly. It was already one o'clock in the middle of the night. After wiping his face, he lay down on the sofa and lit a cigarette. After a few puffs, his eyelids became heavier and heavier, so he put out the cigarette and went to bed. up.

Because the person was already in a very tired state at this time, it didn't take long for Section Chief Chen to fall asleep.

In the middle of the night, he was suddenly awakened by the sound of "squeak... squeak..." iron objects rubbing against the ground. The sound, which was not considered loud at first, was extremely harsh in the dark night. He didn't care too much, turned over and planned to continue. Sleeping, but the sound kept ringing endlessly.

Section Chief Chen frowned and sat up, because his residence was an old-fashioned courtyard house in Beijing, which was left by his grandfather. , Today, he is the only one at home, so Section Chief Chen is sure that the sound is not coming from his own yard, it can only be that someone is doing something outside, but if he does this in the middle of the night, isn't he afraid of affecting other people's rest?

Section Chief Chen walked out of the house and opened the courtyard door. Strangely, there was no one in the dark alley, and at this moment the sound suddenly stopped.

Chief Chen went out of the courtyard, looked carefully at both sides, shook his head and said to himself, "I really saw a ghost." He closed the courtyard door and went back to the house to sleep.

Early the next morning, he was having breakfast at a breakfast stand at the entrance of the alley, and happened to bump into some neighbors, chatted a few words, and Section Chief Chen said: "Last night, some people didn't know what they were doing outside, and they were so noisy that they didn't sleep well all night. Do you know who it is?"

Several people said: "I don't know."

Another human said: "I sleep so badly that I won't be woken up by thunder, let alone a little noise."
