Chapter 109
Shangguan Nan and Lu Pingsheng ran in opposite directions along the ditch, but they met within 10 minutes of walking apart.
The ditch is in a ring shape and circles around Yunshui Village.Most of the sewage in the ditch comes from the domestic water used by the villagers. Plastic bags of fruit, vegetable and egg shells float on the water surface, and there are bursts of stench.From the front of the village to the back of the village, there is a paddy field behind the village. It has just rained, and a thick layer of bright water has accumulated in the paddy field.
"Captain Lu, the ditch has no source."
Lu Pingsheng didn't speak, his eyes inspected the ditch, and then looked at the rice fields in the distance, "Follow me."
Shangguan Nan knew that Lu Pingsheng had a new idea. As expected, he had been in a high-level job, and his head was full of inspiration.He followed Lu Pingsheng in the narrow muddy gully in the rice field, and the shoes he had just brushed yesterday were muddy in a short time.
As Lu Pingsheng was walking, he suddenly stopped, and Shangguan Nan almost bumped into his arms without paying attention.At this moment, they were in the middle of the rice field, and a deep and dark ancient well was at the foot of Lu Pingsheng.Lu Pingsheng stood on the edge of the well, looked down at the dark well, lit a cigarette and held it in his mouth.
"Captain Lu, are you addicted to cigarettes? I was just in the car..." Before Shangguan Nan could finish speaking, Lu Pingsheng picked him up by the collar.A 1.8-meter man was easily carried in the air by Lu Pingsheng, very relaxed.His arm sank slowly, and he didn't stop until Shangguan Nan sank half of his body into the well.
"What are you doing?" Shangguan Nan looked at Lu Pingsheng and asked in puzzlement.
Lu Pingsheng's falcon-like eyes shot out a cold light, "Fly in and see if there is any water at the bottom of the well."
Shangguan Nan was very familiar with this look. Once Lu Pingsheng showed such a look, he had found a breakthrough point in the case.At this time, Shangguan Nan didn't talk too much, a beam of black light flashed, and a fluffy bat the size of a sparrow flew into the depths of the ancient well with its wings flapping.
Lu Pingsheng took a long puff of cigarette, stared at the mouth of the well, and swallowed the clouds.
Ten minutes later, the little bat flew out of the ancient well and turned into a smiling young man in police uniform.
"Lu Li, it's a dry well, and the entrance to the tomb was found at the bottom of the well."
Lu Pingsheng pinched the cigarette butt and threw it on the ground, then exhaled, "Go in and have a look."
"No, it looks like someone's ancestral tomb in the village below. There is a Feng Shui formation. We will be complained if we rush in and destroy the villagers' ancestral tombs."
Lu Pingsheng was silent for a while, and looked in the direction of the village, "Go, go back."
……
In the Xie'an office of the village committee, Er Ye, Gu Lan, Yu Heng, Lou Yan, and An Ting sat around a large round table drinking hot water.The ghosts who came back were locked in the next room and looked at each other, not understanding what happened.In another room the other police officers chatted and drank tea, making jokes.
Because of the case 20 years ago in Yunshui Village, the city branch was allowed to set up a case-handling agency and residence in the village. This is the place called "Xie'an Office of the Village Committee".The Xie An office has only been used twice, once 20 years ago and once this time.
Lu Pingsheng sent An Ting a message 10 minutes ago to ask the relevant personnel to stay in the office, otherwise she would have returned to the office with the ghost of the corpse by this time.
Yu Heng drank the hot water and thought to himself, what's the matter with him and Lou Yan?If they are not allowed to leave, the bus will not be able to catch up with this delay.
Gu Lan was the first person who couldn't sit still, "Sister policeman, I haven't had breakfast yet and I'm so hungry, why do you let us stay here!"
An Ting sighed, "Wait a little longer and our captain will be back soon, he still has something to ask you."
Gu Lan complained: "Where did he go and how long have we been waiting..."
"How can Xiaolan talk!" The second master looked at Gu Lan sternly.
Gu Lan didn't dare to speak immediately, and clutched her growling stomach in frustration.
The door was pushed open at this moment, and Lu Pingsheng and Shangguan Nan came in, "Sorry to keep everyone waiting."
"It's okay, it's okay, I didn't wait for a long time." The second master said with a smile.
"Take them to take statements."
Shangguan Nan took him to the empty room opposite to record his statement.Yu Heng was the last to record. Shangguan Nan answered whatever he asked, but he didn't know much, and the information the police got was limited.After recording this wave of confessions, Shangguan Nan rubbed his wrists to send Yu Heng and the others away. After sitting down and resting for less than 10 minutes, a few villagers came and offered to provide information about the village. up.
In the interrogation room on the other side, Lu Pingsheng was interrogating the ghost. Shangguan Nan walked to the door and knocked on the door, "Captain Lu, are you looking for me?"
Lu Pingsheng pointed to the one on the table, "If the battery runs out, the recording won't work, so you can write it down."
Shangguan Nan rubbed his sore wrist, mourning for his poor self.
Lu Pingsheng looked at a male ghost, "How did you die?"
The ghost looked dull, "I remember... I can't remember."
"Why not reincarnate?"
"Can't get out."
"can not go out?"
The other ghosts nodded one after another, "I'm trapped and can't get out."
"How did you get trapped?"
The ghosts shook their heads in confusion.
"Does anyone remember when he died?"
Most of the ghosts held up, "Fire."
Lu Pingsheng frowned, and continued to ask: "When did the fire start? How did it start?"
One of the ghosts said: "20 years ago, I don't know how the fire started. I smelled a strange smell when I was sleeping, and it has been like this since then."
"Strange smell?"
"Yes, it seems to be a bad smell..."
"No, it's the scent!"
"It stinks, I remember it very clearly, that smell is very pungent."
"Nonsense, I remember it clearly, it's the scent!"
The two ghosts quarreled for a while about the smell, but they didn't find out why.
Lu Pingsheng thought for a moment, pointed to a ghost standing at the back, and asked, "What did you think when you saw your dead body in the ditch just now?"
The ghost was stunned, and it took a long time to realize that Lu Pingsheng was talking to himself, "Sir... so that is really my corpse..."
Lu Pingsheng: "..."
Shangguan Nan couldn't hold back his laughter. Dui Lu was sometimes rendered speechless by ghosts.
"Sir, I don't remember how I died, and I don't remember when I died. It's just that one day I suddenly realized that I was lighter, able to float, and the range of vision was wider. It felt a little exciting."
Shangguan Nan lowered his head, he couldn't help laughing.
Lu Pingsheng asked a few more key questions, and found that the memory of these ghosts was missing, and did not get too many useful confessions.
After Shangguan Nan and Lu Pingsheng came out of the interrogation room, An Ting was eating noodles with several police officers.
"Sister An, what are you eating? I'm hungry too." Shangguan Nan asked with a smile.
An Ting pointed to the side, two bowls of oily noodles were left on the table, Shangguan Nan took a bowl and sat down, couldn't wait to take a bite, and praised: "It tastes good, where did it come from?"
"It was sent by the village chief," said a police officer inarticulately, "The village chief is a good man, and he knows how to sympathize with us!"
Shangguan Nan glanced at Lu Pingsheng, smiled and said, "Captain Lu, come and eat, don't stand there, you didn't eat anything this morning."
An Ting glanced at Shangguan Nan, and said in a meaningful tone, "Tsk, Xiao Nan remembers very carefully."
Shangguan Nan was a little baffled, he said softly, "It's not like everyone didn't eat when they were on missions, it's all the same."
Lu Pingsheng glanced at An Ting and said nothing. He picked up the noodle bowl and thought about the case.
An Ting's teasing was enough. After eating the last mouthful of noodles, she took out a tissue to wipe her mouth, "Captain Lu, why don't you go back to the bureau to handle the case?"
Lu Pingsheng said: "There is no need to bother, this case will take a few days."
"Ok?"
Several police officers looked at Lu Pingsheng together, "Is the Lu Corps case so complicated?"
"It involves the unsolved case of Yunshui Village 20 years ago." Lu Pingsheng took a mouthful of noodles and said suddenly, "By the way, An Ting, let Chen Lu adjust the file of the curse case of Yunshui Village 20 years ago and send it over."
……
At the house of the village head Er Ye, Yu Heng and the others sat around a small table with a pot of steaming noodles and some pickles.
Erye's house has an old-fashioned color TV, the signal is up and down, and now there are eight large-scale parent-child dramas about mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.Er Ye and another uninvited guest, Kong Ji in an old mountain suit, held the noodles and watched with gusto.
Gu Lan sat beside Lou Yan, filling soup and vegetables for Lou Yan very attentively, but Lou Yan stopped them all.Gu Lan was not discouraged either, if he failed once, he would do it twice, and if he failed twice, he would do it once.
"Ayan, are you going back?"
Lou Yan put down the bowl and chopsticks, "I missed the bus in the morning, so I'll take the afternoon bus later."
"Xiao Yan, why don't you stay with your friends for a while longer? Second Grandpa can't bear to part with you." Second Master turned around and asked.
"No, there are still things to be busy." Lou Yan took out a card and handed it to the second master, "I will keep you to buy food, and if you are short of money, I will ask Gu Lan to go out of the village to pick it up for you."
Kong Ji's eyes lit up when he heard that, stared at the card, pointed to himself, and asked expectantly: "Does Xiaoyan have anything for uncle? Uncle watched you grow up and wanted your parents to leave." Afterwards, you live in the second master's house, and my uncle often visits you."
"Come here often, don't speak so nicely!" Gu Lan glared at Kong Ji.
"Hey! What are you talking about, kid!" Kong Jili was about to smash Gu Lan with his chopsticks.
Gu Lan was not afraid, and shouted with her chest out: "If you hit me, be careful that Ah Yan beats you, have you forgotten how badly you were beaten by 14-year-old A Yan?"
"Hey!" Kong Ji's tone weakened, "Why do you..."
"Okay, let's pinch it together!" Second Master looked at Lou Yan, "Second Grandpa doesn't want this money, you can take it back."
As soon as Lou Yan got up, there was nothing wrong with anyone, and as soon as the card was inserted into the second master, he changed to a place farther away from the second master.
The second master had no choice but to ask Yu Heng for help, "Son, please persuade him."
Yu Heng shook his head, "He's so stubborn, I can't persuade him."
As soon as the voice fell, the dog in the yard barked.
Two windy policemen opened the door and came in. Shangguan Nan said, "I'm sorry to bother you, but we want to ask something."
"Please sit down." The second master invited them to sit on the sofa.
"You don't have to be polite to the police uncle, we will all cooperate with you." Kong Ji said flatteringly.
"We want to ask about the curse case 20 years ago, do you remember?"
As soon as Shangguan Nan spoke, Second Master, Kong Ji and Gu Lan all changed their expressions.
