Chapter 10 Chapter 9: The Corpse Hook

Under the moonlight, there was a commotion around the reservoir, and many birds jumped up from the trees.Yue Mingfei and I chased after him closely. Since this person has Erye Tang's mobile phone, it must have something to do with recent events and he must not lose it.Otherwise, that person will become vigilant and perhaps throw the phone into the bottom of the river. Yue Ming flew away, like hurdling over a hurdle, towards the foot of the mountain.I tried my best to catch up, hoping to have seventeen or eighteen legs, but before I ran very far, another person came out from behind, and there was a lot of commotion.What time is it now, which normal person would come to such a ghostly place, I subconsciously thought that this person must also be related to Tang Erye's death.It is not possible for one person to remove the corpse from under the eyes of everyone and put it on the side of the ferry. There must be accomplices.

At this time, Yue Mingfei had already chased him far away, and I didn't want to let anyone go, so I shouted from behind: "You chase the one in front, and I'll catch the one behind!" Without waiting for Yue Mingfei to agree, I turned around and went to chase the person behind me. At the same time, I was curious, why did these two people come to the reservoir?It can't be to talk about love, right?The man was so frightened by my pursuit that he didn't dare to face me. Seeing that he couldn't get away, he rolled down the river bank and fell into the reservoir.I was only a little bit close to seeing that person's back, but unfortunately it was still a step too late, and I couldn't tell who that person was, and I couldn't even tell whether he was lame or not.

"Want to run? There's no door, you know how to water, so can I!" I snorted, no matter how dangerous it was to go into the water at night, I jumped into the reservoir in a hurry.Many people don't know why the reservoir is so dangerous and people often drown.In fact, the culverts of some reservoirs are not tightly closed, and water will always flow out.In this way, the undercurrent under the seemingly calm water surface is turbulent. If there is an undercurrent, people will be taken underwater.The current is so violent that even the fish in the water have to avoid it by three points, otherwise they will be stunned at the bottom of the water.As soon as I jumped down, I rolled over in the water a few times. It turned out that the undercurrent was not far from the shore.

Fortunately, my water skills are good, and I got out of the range of the undercurrent as soon as I kicked my feet, and I was not swept under the reservoir.That person didn't go underwater and didn't come ashore. I couldn't see what was going on underwater, so I had to rush out of the water to see where that person was.After a while, there was a crash in the distance, the projection of the moonlight was scattered, and a person emerged from the center of the reservoir.I thought to myself, this person is quite capable, able to dive for such a long time and go so far! I didn't dare to dawdle, so I quickly paddled to chase after him. Seeing that the man still couldn't get away, he dived back into the water.I didn't wear a diving suit, and I didn't take off my clothes and shoes. When I swam in the water, I felt like I was entangled, and I felt uncomfortable all over.After swimming desperately for a while, I was about to get close to the center of the reservoir, but I hadn't seen that person surfaced yet.Immediately afterwards, something strange appeared on the surface of the water. In addition to the projection of the moon, there was actually a red light cluster farther away.That is definitely not the silver light sprinkled from the night sky, but the light shot up from the bottom of the water, because the waters over there are all dyed red, like a will-o'-the-wisp at the bottom.

"It's too evil! Don't you see hell again? I should change it with Yue Mingfei and let the swimming champion chase me!" I sighed bitterly, choked the water into my nose, and the pungent energy rushed straight to my brain.It wasn't the first time I saw that red light, I had seen it with Yue Mingfei before, when I first knew about the Broken Arm Water God, and Yue Mingfei's business of stealing corpses to make money.Unexpectedly, the red light under the water was hit by me again, especially this time I was still in the water.The strange thing is that the red light didn't approach me, it just paused for a few seconds, turned around and went upstream again, nothing special happened.

When I saw this, I immediately dived down, trying to find out where that person hid by taking advantage of the dim light.I didn't want to, that person swam in front of me without anyone noticing, and I bumped into him as soon as I got out of the water.Immediately, I thought of the story of the water ghost dragging a person into the water, and I wanted to preemptively strike that person, so I grabbed the person with both hands and lifted him to the surface of the water in one breath. Tonight's moon has a sense of justice, and it has been exuding silver light, even the dark clouds can't cover it.I thought that this time, I could see the appearance of that person clearly. Who knew that this person was wearing a diving suit and diving goggles.Before I had time to be disappointed, my emotions were like a roller coaster, and I took a deep breath excitedly!

"Ah! You are..." I was stupefied in fright, and the strength in my hand dissipated immediately, and the man struggled hard to break free from my restraint.It's not that I'm timid, but I recognize who that person is, or rather, I recognize the diving suit.Everyone in the ferry has their own things, such as oxygen cylinders, diving suits, diving goggles, safety ropes, etc. In order not to mess up, the numbers of these things are unique.I remember that Mr. Tang's oxygen cylinder number is 7106, his diving suit number is also 7106, and the man's clothes just now also have a set of numbers - 7106!

In an instant, I froze on the surface of the water, drank a few mouthfuls of the cold river water, and couldn't believe the scene I saw just now.It is absolutely true that Second Master Tang died, and his body was cremated!But why, that person is wearing Tang Erye's diving suit, is he Tang Erye?In a few seconds, I thought a lot, and quickly calmed down, dismissing the ghost talk.When Tang Erye's body was found, he was not wearing a diving suit, but ordinary clothes. His diving suit has never been found.Just like this, Qin Wang insisted that the management of the ferry was not standardized, and the salvagemen were not allowed to wear diving suits, which caused a safety accident.

If it wasn't Erye Tang, who was wearing his clothes? I was just about to dive to find that person, but there was another crash on the water surface, and that person held a short knife in his hand and stabbed me down.Growing up so big, I have never encountered such a dangerous thing. Someone actually wanted to kill me, and it was in the reservoir.The man swung the dagger fiercely. I don't know where he found it, and he might have carried the murder weapon from the beginning.I didn't have time to avoid it, and while kicking the water, I caught the blade with my bare hands.The knife was extremely sharp, and as soon as my palm touched it, a stabbing pain hit my whole body, and blood dripped onto the surface of the water drop by drop.

In a desperate situation, human beings tend to develop their potential. I was cornered, and as soon as I tried my best, I pulled the man's hand away, snatched the short knife, and then slammed my elbow into the other man's chest.The man suffered a loss and fell into the water behind him, then fell into the water and hid again.I struggled too much and fell back a few meters and sank into the water.But just when I wanted to float up, my whole body felt like someone had cut me with a knife. I opened my mouth in pain, and the river water poured in immediately. Oops!It's over! I secretly shouted in my heart, fuck his 360 generations of ancestors, this is a corpse hook, which was specially used by corpse hunters in the past to salvage corpses that are deep in mud.The corpse hook is a string of hooks, just like a centipede, each hook is sharp and hard, and it will entwine tightly when hooked. For this reason, both the family members of the deceased and the person who retrieved the corpse have done their best.Later, the ferry intervened in the corpse-hunting business, and the corpse-hunting talent gradually changed careers, and the corpse-hunting hook disappeared.

He never expected that there was a corpse hook set up under the reservoir. Judging from the situation, there must be more than one hook, at least four or five.The other end of those hooks may be caught in the reef, and when I try to struggle, they go deeper into my body, and the pain is excruciating.I couldn't get out of the water, and when I was almost out of breath, I remembered that I had a short knife in my hand, with which I could cut these hook lines. Although this process only lasted a dozen seconds, I swallowed too much river water, and my breathing was too rapid. Before I swung the knife away, my consciousness began to disperse.I couldn't exert any strength, I couldn't control my body, and my whole body sank.I thought that I would just sink my body under the water, waiting for Yue Mingfei to fish my body up.But a figure swam over, my consciousness was blurred, and the water was cloudy again. I don't know if that person is the one who swung the knife at me just now. I don't know how long it took, my chest seemed to be pressed several times, and a few sips of water spewed out of my mouth. At this time, I was already lying on the shore.But I still don't have much strength. In the hot summer night, it was as cold as winter.I opened my eyes slightly, and saw a man in a diving suit standing aside. He actually saved me?Could it be that when that person swung his knife at me, he wanted to save me and cut off those corpse hooks? I really want to ask, who are you and why did you save me?Don't run if you don't want me to die!Or, let me see the true face of Lushan, right? But that person didn't give me a chance, didn't say a word, turned around and ran away.I couldn't move, I could only lie on the grass, panting weakly.Yue Mingfei didn't know where the chaser had gone, and he didn't come back for a long time, but he hoped he wasn't beaten to death.In this way, I lay on the grass, looking at the night sky, always feel that these things are too contradictory!Leaving aside other things, the man who wielded the knife wanted to escape and save me at the same time. If it wasn't for his brain problems, then... All of a sudden, recent events flashed through my mind like a fast-forward movie.Finally, a glimmer of inspiration burst out, and I figured it out!What about exposing secrets, what about broken-armed water gods, what about thunderbolt fighters, all of them are fucking bullshit!From the beginning, we thought wrong, so until now we are at a loss, the answer is actually the opposite! Under the night, a bird near the reservoir was in heat, whining and screaming, which made people feel uneasy.I was lying by the water, just thinking about those things, my heart was very excited, I tried to get up and look for Yue Mingfei.After tossing for a few minutes, the person didn't stand up, but rolled down the slope for a short distance.Seeing that I was about to fall into the water, I cursed secretly, God, you are deliberately playing tricks on people, and you want me to die without regret? After an unknown amount of time, there was a swishing sound on the grass, and someone was walking towards me.Except for Yue Mingfei, I can't guess who will come here, it won't be the person who saved me regretted it, and came back halfway to drown me, right?Fortunately, God didn't take the joke too far, the person who walked over was Yue Mingfei, but there was no one around him.With Yue Mingfei's speed, he should be able to catch up to that person, how could he return without success? "Huang Dingyi? Why are you sleeping by the water? Where is the person you chased?" It took Yue Mingfei a long time to find me. My voice was weak, and after being dragged away from the water, I regained some strength and asked, "Where is that person? Did you catch up?" Yue Mingfei hesitated to speak, and after a moment of silence, he asked me: "What happened to you? There's blood on your hands?" I sat up with difficulty, took a breath and said in my hand: "Damn, there is something wrong with the person who ran out from behind. He was wearing a diving suit. He thought he was a ninja! Except that he was a man, I couldn't recognize the others. Out." "Wearing a diving suit? Did he plan to go into the water? What can be fished under the reservoir?" Yue Mingfei asked while patting me on the back. "There is a corpse hook below. That person knew about it from the beginning, so he brought a knife. Later, when I swam to the corpse hook, he came with a knife and wanted to warn me." I choked, "But he finished saving I just ran away, and nothing from the bottom of the reservoir was fished out, God knows what treasures are there underwater. Do you think these two people are in the same group?" "Definitely not!" Yue Mingfei replied firmly. "How do you know? Didn't you miss that person?" I wondered. Yue Mingfei was speechless, he was stunned for a long time and didn't answer, I saw the question at a glance, he must have caught up with that person!I stared at Yue Mingfei by the moonlight, he didn't dare to look at each other, he immediately turned his face away, changed the subject, and asked me if there were any treasures left by ancient times under the reservoir.Back then, Shi Dakai of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had fought in Yishan Mountain, and he might have sunk the gold in the army under the water. My hands were sore, I finally stood up, and I wanted to go back to the ferry to bandage the wound.I don't know if those corpse hooks have hooked corpses. If there are germs on the hooks, the wounds are easy to be infected.I was in a hurry to go back to make sure that Hu Jiaheng was at the ferry, although I wasn't entirely sure it was him in the diving suit.When Yue Mingfei heard that I wanted to go back, he agreed, wishing to avoid talking about the previous topic. I had other thoughts in my mind, and my thoughts were in chaos, so I didn't bother to expose why Yue Mingfei lied.On the way back, I dragged my heavy feet, pressing the wound while walking, fearing that I would die from excessive blood loss.At the same time, I understood that Second Master Tang didn't want to reveal any secret at all, but wanted to keep that secret.Because of this, Erye Tang went to the library to steal those materials, otherwise he didn't need to do that at all.If a person wants to expose a secret, who will hide the information and let everyone circulate it, wouldn't it be more convenient?This is the most contradictory part of Mr. Tang, and it was also the most puzzling point for me before. In addition to these things, Second Master Tang also consulted Tang Ziyue about what kind of legal responsibility she would bear for exposing the secret.At first glance, it seems that Mr. Tang is hesitating, fearing that the exposure will lead to prison.But if a person is determined to expose these secrets, would he still worry so much?Did Mr. Tang ask about those things because he wanted to warn others that there would be a price to be paid for exposing those secrets? In other words, Second Master Tang is the one who wants to keep the secret, and the one who pretends to be the one who wants to expose the secret these days!In order to prevent others from exposing it, Second Master Tang must first get all the relevant information and hide it where no one can find it.It's a pity that I figured out Erye Tang's purpose, but I still haven't figured out what is the secret he wants to keep?This secret must be dirty and dark, otherwise he would not hide it and lose his life. The Broken Arm Water God and the Three-Handed Monster Babies have bad influences, but these are not classified. The older generation of doctors have heard about them. If you want to find evidence, you can ask people like Lao Yang, and the medical report has not been Tang Erye took it away.After thinking about it, that secret must be inextricably linked to the ferry, otherwise Master Tang would not have acted upon hearing the news and wiped out all those materials. As the sound of the water waves increased, I woke up from my thoughts. At this time, Yue Mingfei and I were about to walk back to the ferry.I remembered Yue Mingfei's lying, and finally couldn't help asking him: "Did you catch up with that person?" "No... no," Yue Mingfei denied. "Are you still pretending? I've seen it a long time ago. Why are you lying? That person threatened you with your secret?" I asked cautiously, "Finding corpses in private is not that serious. At worst, let that person threaten you. I don't believe that." The bastard dares to report you." "Don't talk about it yet, we're here, hurry up and get some medicine to bandage it up." Yue Mingfei and I walked into the ferry quietly. The others closed the doors and turned off the lights. I don't know if Captain Hu has come back. I was in so much pain that I had no choice but to stop asking questions. I just wanted to wash my body clean immediately and apply medicine to the wound.Some wounds were on the back shoulders or back, and I couldn't apply the medicine myself. Yue Mingfei saw it, and told me to take a shower quickly, and he came to help me sprinkle some anti-inflammatory medicines.I received favors from others, just like accepting bribes, so I didn't ask any more questions, just took a bucket and a towel and went to the bathroom to take a shower.There are two bathrooms, one for men and one for women. They are built next to the tile-roofed dormitory. There are no lights at night, and everything has to be done in the dark. I just rushed, and the wound was like a knife cut, and I screamed in pain.At this time, someone suddenly shouted outside: "Huang Dingyi? Are you taking a bath inside?" "Blind Jia? It's so late, what are you doing in the bathroom?" After I asked this question, I wanted to jokingly say, don't you want to peek at me taking a shower?But when he thought that Blind Jia couldn't see, it was too hurtful to say that, so he swallowed the second half of the sentence. Jia Xiazi said outside: "The weather is too hot, the wind from the fan is hot, I want to take another shower to relieve the heat." "Then wait, I'll be fine soon." I replied, and then asked casually, "What time did Captain Hu come back tonight? Do you know?" "What time do you come back? He seems to have been on the ferry, right? I don't know." Blind Jia said standing outside. "Didn't Jin Lele say that Captain Hu is not at the ferry? Yue Mingfei called Jin Lele and said that he would buy supper for you. She asked around, but it turned out that Captain Hu was not there..." Before I finished speaking, Blind Jia interrupted: "Jin Lele asked me a lot? When did she ask me? She went out after dinner. I don't know if she's back now." I raised the full bucket to shower it over my head when it crashed to the ground with a loud, icy crash.Blind Jia thought I couldn't see, so he overturned the bucket and asked me if I hurt my foot.I didn't answer, but my mind was racing, thinking that if Jia Xiazi was telling the truth, then it was impossible for Jin Lele to tell Yue Mingfei that Captain Hu was not in the ferry.Could it be that one of the two people who appeared in the reservoir tonight was Jin Lele?The one fighting with me in the water was a man, so it can be inferred that the person Yue Mingfei is chasing after must be Jin Lele.With Jin Lele's slow speed, Yue Mingfei could easily catch her and never lose her. "You won't faint from the fall, will you? Why is there no movement?" Blind Jia asked worriedly. I hurriedly agreed, dried myself and came out so that Blind Jia could go in and take a bath.Before I left, I double-checked, Jia Xiazi assured that Jin Lele didn't ask him if he wanted supper at night, and he didn't know if he asked Mrs. Han and Captain Hu.Unexpectedly, the person who was sure not to be at the ferry was Jin Lele. I was very surprised, and immediately ran back to the room with the bucket in hand, and closed the door with a "bang". Yue Mingfei was carelessly arranging the anti-inflammatory medicines. When he saw me coming back, he said, "The light is not bright enough. I'm afraid I might not be able to see the wound clearly, so I brought my flashlight too." "Be honest, did you catch up with that person tonight?" I pressed. "No!" Yue Mingfei continued to deceive himself. "That person is Jin Lele? Isn't that right?" I didn't bother to go around in circles and asked the question. Yue Mingfei was taken aback, he was obviously hit by my words, he hesitated for a while before saying: "I promised her to keep it secret for now, how did you know?" "Secret a fart! It's all over here, you should explain everything!" I said bluntly, "I just met Blind Jia, and he told me, but Jin Lele didn't ask him Do you want to eat supper, she is not at night at all." Seeing that he couldn't hide it anymore, Yue Mingfei hissed me and told me to lower my voice so that others wouldn't hear me.I sneered, it doesn't matter what people listen to, now that one of them is caught, the truth should be revealed, which is exactly what we want.Yue Mingfei was silent for a while, and then he told me that he had indeed caught up with that person.At first, Yue Mingfei rushed forward, knocked the man over, grabbed a stone and injured the man's head.In Yue Mingfei's eyes, the people we are going to meet tonight are all dangerous, he just reacted instinctively.I have a deep understanding of this. I thought I was going to be stabbed to death in the reservoir before, and I desperately wanted to resist. Yue Mingfei caught that person and hit him, and the other person cried and begged for mercy.Hearing that voice, Yue Mingfei was stunned, it turned out that the person in front of him was actually Jin Lele!Jin Lele got up in a panic, took a few steps away, and then claimed that these things had nothing to do with her, and she didn't steal the phone, but she knew all the secrets. "Wait, you dare not tell the truth. Could it be that you beat someone to death?" I asked worriedly. "Of course not! She's not dead, it's just a skin injury!" Yue Mingfei explained seriously and nervously. "Then what secret does she know?" I followed up. Yue Mingfei sat on the edge of the bed, looked up at me, and answered unhurriedly: "A secret that you and I will never think of."
