Chapter 19 Chapter Two

In the middle of the night, picking up a mysterious girl in a pine forest filled with red-faced and white-clothed hanged ghosts all over the mountains and plains is already weird enough.However, as soon as I drove the car out of the pine forest, she told those hanged ghosts that they were mandrills, and they would kill anyone who saw them and left the pine forest. She suddenly pointed to the rear view mirror and yelled that they were coming, but I saw nothing in the rear view mirror, so I naturally turned around to observe the situation directly behind through the rear window.However, I still didn't find anything strange, only the dust flying in the red light of the taillights.

The fear of the unknown makes my nerves highly tense, and the more I don't find strange things, the more dangerous I feel.A panicked scream suddenly sounded beside me, I turned my head in a natural reaction, and a terrifying face immediately appeared in front of my eyes. This is a woman's face emitting strong light, and the mud and blood draw a strange picture on this face.The upturned eyes and long protruding tongue seem to tell me the pain of death... "Damn, why are you frightening me with a flashlight in your face! There's no cure for people being scary." After the shock, I realized that this chick was deliberately scaring me. Fortunately, I don't have a heart attack.

"Coward, if you are so timid and dare to walk at night, you deserve to be scared to death." She seemed very proud of scaring me. All the way without words. At about two o'clock in the morning, we finally arrived at the Chongyuan County Police Station. This little girl was very aggressive. As soon as I got out of the car, I asked the man on duty to handcuff me. I was locked up overnight before talking, and then I didn't know where to go.The guy actually obeyed her orders and walked towards me foolishly holding handcuffs. I had no choice but to take out my police ID and explain to him that I am also a policeman, and there was just a small misunderstanding just now, so I asked him to find a place for me to rest, and take me to their director, Hua Ye, tomorrow.During the conversation, I learned that this guy was called Zhao Xue, because this place is relatively remote, and there are no hotels and hotels, so I can only spend the night in the duty room.

Before I had slept for a few hours, I was woken up by loud noises like the sky being torn apart.Looking out of the window, wow, God of longevity, could it be the Autumn Harvest Uprising?A large group of people shouted outside the police station, demanding that the director come out.The crowd was mainly men, with only a few elderly women mixed in. There were as many as thirty or forty people in total, and almost all the men were holding weapons such as wooden sticks and steel pipes. I quickly asked Zhao Xue what happened?He replied very calmly: "It's okay, it's okay. It's probably because their new grave has been dug again. This kind of thing happens often. Just let them make a fuss for a while. As long as they don't rush in and smash things, it's fine." Leave them alone."

"Is this always the case? Is tomb robbery rampant here? Also, since cremation is practiced now, how can there be new graves?" I asked puzzled.Compulsory cremation has been practiced for more than ten years, and tomb robbery has almost become a historical term. What happened here? "I can't help it. They are all Yao people in Longdong Village, so they don't need to be cremated. The graves in the pine forest belong to them. You should be able to see them when you come!" He said, lighting a cigarette, and handing out one to I also said: "In fact, cremation is very good. Once the fire is burned, it will be settled, but they insist on burial, which caused us a lot of trouble." Restricted by family planning, even crimes are more protected than Han people.I think this is probably one of the reasons why they dare to often come to the police station to make trouble.

"What's the trouble, this one?" I glanced out the window. "Isn't it just this? After I was transferred here, they didn't know how many times they had arguing. According to seniors, this matter has been arguing for almost twenty years." He spoke in a calm tone, as if this was normal things.But I was intimidated. Over the past 20 years, people often went to the police station to make troubles because of the same incident, but no one dealt with it. What is going on? I wanted him to explain the matter clearly, but the noise outside suddenly became louder, so I immediately went to the window to see what was going on again.The crowd outside the door was very emotional, swearing and swearing, saying that the police station did not do anything, and the mountain ghost had not been caught for so long.Inside the door, a tall, thin and capable man came from the direction of the dormitory accompanied by four policemen. I think he is the director Hua Ye.He shouted to the crowd outside the door through the half-person-high electric gate: "Please be quiet, everyone, and listen to me."

His voice was full of majesty, and the crowd fell silent at once, but there were still a few people who expressed dissatisfaction.He added: "I can understand everyone's feelings. We have been investigating this case, and we have invited the best criminal police from the Public Security Bureau to assist in the investigation. I assure you now that within a month, we will definitely be able to complete the investigation." Capture the mountain ghost!" After that, the crowd yelled for a while, but finally left. After the crowd left, Director Hua breathed a sigh of relief, and I came out of the duty room and greeted him: "Hello, Director Hua! My name is Mu Shenyu, and I am a subordinate of Liang Zheng."

He looked at me as if I saw a savior, so he hurriedly stepped forward to shake my hand, and said with a smile, "I finally hoped for you to come, Lao Liang, that old fox, how is it?" After a few polite words, he pulled me into the out of the office. "Xiao Mu, you have to save me! I can hardly be the head of my department." After closing the door, he spoke anxiously. "What happened? What happened to the mountain ghost you told the troublemaker just now?" I'm still at a loss, and I don't even have an idea. "That's what gave me a headache." Director Hua closed his eyes, rubbed his temples vigorously, and then began to tell me about an unsolved case that had lasted for twenty years——

To explain the whole story of this case in detail, I am afraid that it must start from twenty years ago. At that time, the villagers of Longdong Village began to realize that the rosin produced in the pine forest in the village could make money, and that rosin was often stolen. For the benefit of everyone, The villagers built a wooden house in the woods, and they took turns to watch the night in the wooden house during the harvest season. There are usually two people on watch at night, but one night there was only one young man staying in the wooden house.In the middle of the night, the young man suddenly ran back to the village, knocked on doors from house to house, and shouted, "There are mountain ghosts, there are mountain ghosts." No matter what he was asked, he would only say that there were mountain ghosts in the pine forest.

The villagers thought that someone had stolen and cut the rosin, so they lit torches and took hoes and other tools as weapons to the pine forest.However, instead of finding the Rosin Thief, everyone discovered that a new grave that had been buried for a few days had been dug up.A young woman who committed suicide by drinking pesticide was buried in the new grave. When her grave was dug up, her clothes had been torn to pieces and her body was covered in mud. signs of violation. At that time, the villagers were very angry, especially the family members of the deceased, so they searched for the "mountain ghost" who committed the crime all night, but they couldn't find it all night.In desperation, the deceased had to be reburied and sent to keep a vigil for a month.

Since then, similar corpse rape cases have occurred one after another, and the villagers can't stop the mountain ghost from raging.Whenever a young woman is buried in the village, the mountain ghost will follow like a wild dog with a keen sense of smell.In order to protect their family members from mountain ghosts after their death, many villagers will keep a vigil for more than a month after the deceased is buried.But as soon as the spirit guard left, the mountain ghost came immediately, even the rotting corpses were not spared. This mountain ghost is more cunning than any criminal I have ever seen. I don’t know how many times large and small arrests have been carried out in the past 20 years, but so far no one has even seen what he looks like up close.The previous directors were all criticized or even transferred because of this case. I was also scratched my head by this case. I really doubt whether this mountain ghost is really a monster.I heard that Lao Liang is now specialized in dealing with supernatural events, so I called the director, and then discussed with Lao Liang about borrowing troops... A mountain ghost who raped corpses?Could it be those mandrills with red faces and white clothes I saw last night?I told about the weird scene I saw in the pine forest last night, and asked Director Hua whether the hanged ghosts were the legendary mountain ghosts, and whether there were any legends about mandrills killing people who left the pine forest after seeing them. "Mandrill? Haha, this is the first time I've heard someone say that there are mandrills here. Those red-faced and white-clothed dummies are actually just used by the villagers to keep watch and scare the mountain ghosts, but the mountain ghosts were not scared away. Instead, they passed through the pine forest at night. The driver scared away.” Director Hua sighed, and then vomited bitterness to me: “At the end of the 1980s, this place had just started to develop, but the city was full of disturbances because of mountain ghosts. Originally, the government wanted to persuade Longdong The villagers in the village settled the matter with cremation, but they thought that the government wanted to use this as an excuse to force cremation, so they resolutely opposed it and came up with all kinds of strange ways to deal with mountain ghosts. Those people hanging from the trees you saw The dummy is the ghost idea they came up with. They thought that burying their ancestors next to the road would scare away the mountain ghosts from passing vehicles, but the mountain ghosts still appeared to commit crimes, so they hung a red-faced and white-clothed dummy on a pine tree , trying to scare away the mountain ghosts. As a result, the mountain ghosts did not frighten them, but instead frightened the drivers who carried rosin and the businessmen who came here to invest. Later, the outside world would rumor that this place was haunted, and most investors were scared away. Economic development There was almost a pause. The villagers blamed all these things on the government and often came to make trouble. Because their village is a fake Yao nationality, and we have not been able to solve the case so far, so we can only watch them make trouble and dare not make a sound." It seems that Director Hua has suffered a lot of grievances. In addition to the villagers who often come to make troubles, the secretary of the county party committee and the county magistrate should also ask him to lecture him!However, the "fake Yao people" he mentioned made me feel strange. I only knew the Yao people, but I had never heard of the "fake Yao people", so I asked what was going on. "You misunderstood me. I'm not saying that their clan name is 'Fake Yao', but that they are all Han people, but they just insist that they are Yao people." His tone was slightly indignant. "Can you do this?" I was confused by what he said. He replied in a helpless tone: "They are all taking advantage of policy loopholes. In the 1980s, when the central government first introduced preferential policies for ethnic minorities, their village chiefs applied to the police station to change the ethnicity of the entire village to Yao. His reason is that the main surname of Longdong Village is Huang, which ranks fourth among the twelve surnames of the Yao family, so they are descendants of the Yao nationality. Although his reason is inexplicable, the director at that time signed it in a daze, which is why the present This mess." I suddenly remembered the chick from last night, she seemed to be from the police station, and her position should not be low, at least Zhao Xuede listened to her command.Last night, because I was afraid that Zhao Xuexue would be implicated, I didn't ask him who that chick was. Now I can just ask Director Hua directly. "I think what you said is probably my nemesis!" Director Hua smiled helplessly. "Nemesis? No way, you have the highest position in the institute, is there anyone who can oppose you?" The person who can oppose the director is most likely the deputy director, but at that chick's age, it is impossible for her to hold such an important position. . "In front of me, she speaks more presumptuously than the secretary of the county party committee!" He smiled wryly and shook his head. "Shouldn't she be your mistress?" I asked in a low voice. "Haha, Xiao Mu, you really know how to joke. This is a poor county. I have the ability to raise a mistress. She is actually mine..." Just as he was about to tell me about his relationship with the chick, someone suddenly opened the door without knocking. He opened the door and walked in. "Dad, do you need me?" A young beauty in a purple casual dress came in. She was tall and had a good figure, and all the places that should be raised were raised.Her jet-black and beautiful hair fell down her shoulders, a little wet, and smelled like lavender, probably because she had just washed her hair.The complexion is white and rosy, the lips are like cherries, and the eyes are brighter, and if there are water droplets flowing inside, it seems to be a lavender that has just been washed by the morning dew. "Hey, why are you a coward here? Didn't I ask Xiao Zhao to shut you up?" The lavender-like girl suddenly stared at me with wide eyes. A moment ago, I thought she looked familiar, but I probably hadn't seen her before. The reason for the familiarity was that I had seen her photo, which was the one my boss showed me.In other words, she is the target of my business trip, and the boss told me to date her, and it doesn't look like a joke.However, the moment she spoke to me, I realized we had met before, and she was the chick who hit my car by herself last night.Last night she was covered in mud all over her body, but now that she's washed it clean, I don't recognize it. "Zi Die, how could you be so rude to Xiao Mu! And you don't wear a police uniform at work, and you don't knock on the door when you come in. Do you think the police station is your home?" Director Hua scolded the girl sullenly. "In order to investigate the mountain ghost, I was busy until two o'clock in the morning last night, and I was knocked down by this coward's car. You see, my arm is still injured..." She lifted the sleeve of her right arm, white A bandage was wrapped around his arm, and blood could be vaguely seen oozing from it.Then she said with resentment: "Dad, you called someone over early in the morning. I haven't woken up yet, so I don't have time to change my clothes." "Then what did you find out? The mountain ghost was not caught, and even the police car was left outside. Also, how many times have I told you, you have to call me the director!" Director Hua said angrily Satisfactory, but a little helpless in the majesty. "Hmph, I knew you wouldn't like what I did!" After Zidie finished speaking, she opened the door angrily and left, almost smashing the door when she closed it. "Oh, my Ximan daughter made you laugh." Director Hua smiled helplessly. "Ling Qianjin's temper is a bit hot, but she is serious about her work. If I were to go to that ghostly place alone in the middle of the night to look for mountain ghosts, I wouldn't dare to go." I said politely. "You are too modest! Lao Liang told me about your achievements, and he evaluated you as 'the rookie king of the criminal investigation bureau in the past, but now the pillar of the crime team'. To get such an evaluation from the old fox, I believe you are absolutely capable Not bad." He suddenly looked at me with an ambiguous look. A chill suddenly rose from the bottom of my heart, and I shivered and replied: "Boss never said that in front of me, it would be nice for him to give me a little less training." "What do you think of Zidie?" He suddenly asked an inexplicable question. I thought for a moment and replied: "She is very aggressive, but she seems to be too impatient. For example, last night, she went to the pine forest alone to investigate. If there is an accident, she will be in trouble. So, with all due respect, I think she is too eager But she is still young, I want to give her a little more time to hone, and the situation will improve." "I'm not asking about work, I mean...it's..." He seemed a little embarrassed, and held back his words for a long time: "I mean, what do you think of her conditions?" "Conditions?" I was dumbfounded, what exactly was he trying to say?Considering that the boss said that the purpose of my trip is to pick up girls, he probably wants to recruit me to be his son-in-law!
