Secret Notes of a Mystery Investigator

Chapter 4 The Evil God's Tribute (4)
There is no rush for this kind of thing. Seeing that there will be no results today, the head of the team led us to close the team. It was already late when we returned to the guest house. We had a quick meal and held a summary meeting.Head Chen said: "Today we investigated the overall environment by the river and found that the land seemed to be abnormal. I have already retrieved the samples and sent them back to the Academy of Social Sciences. The results should be available soon. I think the water monsters cannot Under the premise that it appears from time to time, the current focus of our investigation should be on this piece of green soil, and figuring this out may be of some help to us.”

Ma Tianxing said: "I also agree, but should we also find a way to explore the bottom of the ice surface with scientific and technological means, and the two sides may have a greater grasp if we start together."

His opinion seemed to remind Head Chen, who patted Ma Tianxing on the shoulder vigorously and said: "Boy, I really have you, why didn't I remember it, so I will leave the job of drilling holes in the ice to you Did it, as a reward for you."

Ma Tianxing immediately shook his head and said, "Thank you for the cultivation of the leader. You should do such a glorious task yourself. Xiaomin can't steal the limelight from the leader."

At this moment, He Zhuang said, "I'll do the drilling."

This is the first time I heard him speak, his voice is more powerful, which doesn't match his figure, the head Chen said: "For safety's sake, don't go directly to work on the ice, what if the things inside don't go away? "

He Zhuang said, "It's just right not to go."

I took a breath and said, "Brother, you haven't seen how big and terrifying that monster is..." At this moment, I saw Ma Tianxing hurriedly gestured at me, telling me to shut up, but I haven't reacted yet, why? Zhuang suddenly had a dagger in his hand like a conjurer. He pressed against my ribs, pushed me against the wall, and then pointed the dagger at my throat. During the whole process, I had no strength to fight back. You must know that I am stronger than him. Also half a head taller.

At this time, regiment leader Chen immediately said: "Da Zhuang, this is my comrade, don't mess around."

He Zhuang said to me with anger on his face: "It's better not to speak to me in such a tone. I beat wolves in the mountains when your city babies were not weaned."

I was very wronged. In fact, my original intention was to worry that the water monster would cause trouble to him, but he actually used a knife with me because of his arbitrary speculation. This is too much, so when he retracted the dagger, I also pointedly said: "Yeah, I was worried that you were wrong when you were in danger. You are the Monkey King, so you can do whatever you like."

This time He Zhuang didn't speak any more, just found a place to sit down, and the regiment leader Chen pulled me out of the room, and I was extremely wronged and said: "How can he do this, and even draw his sword at his comrades."

Head Chen said: "Boy, I have never favored anyone under my command, but He Zhuang is an exception. Don't think he is very powerful, but he is actually weaker than anyone else. Any trivial matter that others may think is nothing. , he may not be able to get through it, so you don't talk to him easily without knowing his temper."

I said, "I'm just worried about the safety of my comrades. Is there something wrong with that?"

Head Chen said: "I didn't say you were wrong, but a person has a temper, and his character cannot be changed by you or me." As Head Chen rolled up his sleeves, I saw a long scar, which was shocking.He said to me, "Da Zhuang hacked it with a knife. He dared to move me. It's quite restrained to just make a gesture with the knife."

I gasped and said, "He even dares to touch you, is such a person normal?"

Head Chen smiled and said: "Da Zhuang is actually the most reliable person, as long as he treats you sincerely, putting a knife on his neck will not change it, but before that, you'd better treat him Be respectful and stay away, remember his knife, as long as it is wiped, it will be a dead end, so don't be angry, he is really polite to you, Ma Tianxing was almost thrown from the [-]th floor by him, if you don't believe me, you can ask at night That kid."

I was annoyed and funny when I heard it, but I really didn't dare to provoke He Zhuang anymore. When I went back to my room at night, I said, "Brother Ma, I heard from Captain Chen that you were almost thrown from upstairs by He Zhuang. It is true." ?"

Ma Tianxing couldn't help shivering and said: "He told you all this, but did you tell about the fact that he himself was hacked by He Zhuang?"

I said, "I said it."

Ma Tianxing nodded and said: "It's fair, so you are lucky. He Zhuang's temper has been much better these years. At the beginning, because I said he walked too fast, he turned around and grabbed me and took me from the tall building. Pushed out of the window, it was really desperate. Then he also jumped out, pulled my arm, and I don’t know how to do it on those buildings, anyway, the speed of falling gradually stopped, and then The two of us sat on the windowsill of a house on the sixth floor, and I almost broke down. But he is like this, he treats me much better now, you remember, when he can joke with you, then you can be with him Really communicate."

Chapter 6: Confrontation

I also feel quite lucky after going through this kind of turmoil. After all, I wasn’t really injured or too much stimulated. It’s just that I’m curious about He Zhuang’s experience. Let a young man have such an extreme character?Also, is his unpredictable ability born or acquired? If it is acquired, then who is his master?And from this point of view, there really is that kind of sunflower canon in the world. Of course, it is definitely more advanced than the ones in Swordsman, because I can be sure that He Zhuang is not a eunuch.

We came to the riverside early in the morning of the next day, and after setting up the machine, Captain Chen said: "Go and see where it is suitable to dig a hole. In addition, the underwater camera has already been arranged for someone to send it over. We will try to make it today." Let it go into the water."

He Zhuang said: "I'll go, you pay attention." After saying that, he went to the river.

Because the ice surface was lower than the shore, He Zhuang walked up to the front, stuck his bow and arrow in the snow on the shore, took out a knife from his buckskin pocket, stuck it in the tie on his waist, and jumped into the ice without the slightest hesitation. Walking towards the center, my heart immediately rose to my throat.

The two of them also looked at He Zhuang's back with great concern, while Ma Tianxing tightly held the sniper rifle in his hand and remained motionless.

I saw He Zhuang looked left and right, then squatted down and didn't know what he was looking at, suddenly he stood up, looked left and right vigilantly, Captain Chen said to himself: "It's broken."

A huge crack suddenly appeared on the seemingly calm ice surface, just like what I saw before, but He Zhuang was not Lao Zhai after all, and there was still a certain distance from the crack point, so he immediately turned around and ran towards the shore Come on, at the same time there was a loud bang, the frozen river was covered with silver light, and countless pieces of ice were thrown into the air. At this moment, I saw the snow-white piece of meat come into view again, and Ma Tianxing raised his sniper rifle without hesitation. The first bullet was fired, and a trace of bright red liquid rose in the air, which should be the blood of the water monster.

Rao He Zhuang was not far from the shore, but no one could imagine how big the water monster was. The ice layer split in all directions in an instant, and He Zhuang suddenly disappeared. Captain Chen drew out his pistol and said: "Damn it! Da Zhuang." He was about to run to the river in desperation.I was so busy holding on to Captain Chen that he said, "Commander, that thing can go ashore."

Suddenly a jet of water shot up into the sky, the color was actually reddish, and then there was an earth-shattering strange roar from the sky and the earth, and a huge white cloud rose from the cracked ice again.This time I clearly saw the body parts of the water monster. It is a creature similar to a stingray. The whole body is round, but it is so huge that it is unimaginable.It raised the shadow of its body and wrapped us all in it. The two of them shot immediately. It seemed that every bullet could be shot into the water monster's body. It is not invulnerable, but it is hard to say whether it can cause fatal injuries.At this moment, a large piece of pork belly was suddenly thrown from the shore, and then holding the shore with one hand, He Zhuangteng rolled over onto the shore.

He was holding a bloody long knife in his hand, and his body was drenched. The cold wind could not affect his movements at all. In the blink of an eye, he put the knife back into his waist, touched the bow and arrow standing on the shore, and made a somersault Turned over, then half-kneeled on the ground, turned around and shot three arrows at the water monster behind, only to see each of them shot into the body of the water monster.

At this time, the huge erect body of the water monster swayed suddenly, and then made a louder sound than before.He Zhuang didn't dare to be careless at this time, he got up and ran over with an unbelievable speed. While running, he even took a cold shot to reflect an arrow, and every shot hit. Hearing a loud bang, another piece of blue-gray objects began to cover the shore. At this moment, I suddenly heard Captain Chen shout: "Get in the car, get in the car quickly, and wait to fill your stomach."

Ma Tianxing and I got into the car quickly, and He Zhuang came from behind. When we got into the car, he was already sitting in the passenger cab. At this time, we smelled a foul smell.

Head Chen immediately stepped on the accelerator and rushed forward. He basically didn't bring anything back, but the monitor was still firmly held by Ma Tianxing. From the screen, we saw a water monster like a small hill wriggling to the shore. It chased after it at an alarming speed, the camera equipment was covered by its huge body, and the signal was interrupted.

Head Chen said while driving: "Are you okay?"

Only then did we notice that He Zhuang's body was not water, but glistening mucus, and the smell was extremely unpleasant. He Zhuang said: "It just put me in its mouth, and before I could move my tongue, I cut off my jaw." gone."

Head Chen said: "My day, do fish have tongues, who of you know?"

He Zhuang said: "I don't know, anyway, the mouth is so big, it is estimated that there are a few more people like me who can lie sideways."

Seeing the water monster approaching gradually, and not far away is the village, Captain Chen frowned and said, "It's broken now, if you lead it into the village, it will be a big trouble."

Ma Tianxing immediately pushed the sunroof of the car, raised his gun with his body exposed, and shot, but the powerful bullets hit the water monster's body and seemed to have no effect at all. Imaginary speed retreated, down to the water, and then all was quiet again.

The group leader said: "Da Zhuang took a bath first when he went back, because he was afraid that the mucus would be corrosive."

Ma Tianxing said: "Zhuangzi, it's a good thing you brought the knife with you, otherwise it would be really troublesome." In fact, this is what I thought, but I didn't dare to ask.

He Zhuang took out the knife. What surprised me was that there was no blood on the knife at this time. It looked like it was brand new. Even if I wiped it, it would be impossible to wipe it so clean. Zhuang wiped the knife.

Ma Tianxing pointed to He Zhuang's knife and said, "Did you see it? This knife is not an ordinary knife. By the way, Zhuang Zi, can I tell Luo Zi about your treasure?"

He Zhuang didn't speak, Ma Tianxing continued: "This knife is called: Cursed Blood Knife, it is said to be a cursed weapon, it is very sharp, it can cut iron like mud, and it can break hair..."

At this time, Captain Chen answered, "You have to break your bragging rights. I said Xiao Ma, don't bluff people at every turn, and don't throw you off the stairs if you say something that offends Da Zhuang."

Ma Tianxing said confidently: "He has no chance, and I will never climb tall buildings with him again in my life."

He Zhuang smiled and looked back at Ma Tianxing. This was the first time I saw him smile. In fact, He Zhuang's first impression was quite gentle. If he didn't get angry, he seemed like a scholar, so He has a sweeter smile than most people.

Ma Tianxing said to me: "Luo Zi, do you believe that his knife is unusual?"

I hesitated and didn't say much, Ma Tianxing looked at me, patted He Zhuang on the shoulder and said, "I said you scared the new comrades a lot, so apologize quickly."

He Zhuang didn't speak, but finally he turned his head and nodded to me, which surprised me, so I smiled "kindly" at him.In fact, I admire this person very much, because his ability is really not ordinary, it is the kind that is beyond people's imagination, but all the secrets will be revealed later, and I didn't know the secrets hidden in him at that time.

7. The owner of the water monster
After returning home, He Zhuang took a shower and applied some strange ointment on his body, and then went to a hospital in the county for an examination. There was nothing abnormal, but the head of the delegation was still worried, so he took a blood sample and sent it to the hospital. I went back and asked the people from the Academy of Sciences to do an analysis. It didn't take long for the analysis results to be reported: everything is normal.Accompanied by underwater dolly cameras and soil analysis results.

I can’t remember much about the chemical composition of the soil, but there is one point: “alkali.” That is to say, the soil has a certain alkali content, but the land that is only about 20 meters away from here is not a saline-alkali land, Mr. Chen Holding the report card and thinking for a long time, he said, "Can any of you give me an explanation?"

Ma Tianxing said: "Leader, in my opinion, is this the case, because water monsters often come up near the shore of the water area, and the body fluids of the water monster's surface or body contain certain chemical components, which cause the polluted land to produce Variety."

Head Chen said: "What you said is very reasonable, and I think it should be so. Now we can start from this point. Everyone looks for information to see if there are any fish with similar chemical components. Yes, then we will solve the case soon." After finishing speaking, the team leader said to me again: "Xiao Luo, you remember that the key to solving the case lies in deciphering the mystery, because most of our work is dealing with these unknown things and figuring out the mystery. Where does it come from is our task. Every species is a mystery to human beings before it is discovered, but once the truth is revealed, it is no longer a mystery. In fact, we are also a department that turns the magic into the ordinary. Mysteries are not recognized by science because we have to decipher the secret."

Ma Tianxing continued: "We are students who specialize in homework, but it is the gods who write the questions, and we are solving the problems left by the gods."

Head Chen said: "Your kid's nonsense really makes sense, Xiao Luo, you can write down his words for reference." After thinking about it, Head Chen said again: "Why did that monster chase you and then suddenly I'm back, who can give me an idea."

No one spoke now, Ma Tianxing looked at the ceiling calmly, completely ignoring the expectant eyes of the team leader.After a while, the head of the group said: "Even our smartest comrade Xiao Ma has stopped talking. Then this matter is basically unsolvable. Comrades, hurry up and do what you want. Tomorrow it's Ma Tianxing's turn to go fishing."

Ma Tianxing said: "Why, blowing up a bunker for the sake of the new China, I still deserve to die. I'm not a fool if I have nothing to do to make fertilizer."

He Zhuang said, "You say I'm a fool?"

My heart jumped up, and I was afraid that He Zhuang would do something outrageous again, but Ma Tianxing said without changing his expression: "You are a master, whoever dares to eat you is doomed to pay a heavy price for it, and I It’s different, if I was given to Missy by that fish, I would turn into excrement tomorrow.”

Head Chen said: "I've made a decision. It's your turn to go fishing tomorrow, and it's your turn. I'll be behind you."

Ma Tianxing said, "That's not how you deceive people."

Head Chen said: "You don't care if I lie or not, after tomorrow, will you still know what will happen the day after tomorrow?"

We talked and laughed and went back to rest. The next morning, Captain Chen led us out. I said, "Captain, have you thought about what we should do today?"

Head Chen smiled and said: "If there is nothing to do, we have to go out and look around. We have to be responsible to the taxpayers." Of course, the head of the group was joking. When we arrived at the small village near the river, we stopped the car. This is a very backward village. , Knocked on the door of a fellow villager, Mr. Chen said that he was a family planning cadre, and he immediately invited us in. There was a well and a few chickens in the dilapidated small courtyard, and the rest was made of broken bricks and broken wooden boards. Completed tables and chairs.

We didn't enter the house either, and the head Chen said: "Fellow townspeople, let's chat here for a while, how are you doing?"
