C77 (1/2)

”Magic?” I thought, Liao Mengfann's brain is really big. The Mekong City was located at the Southern Frontier and most of the Miao Family were there. Legend has it that the Miao race was the origin of the voodoo Gu technique. The Gu technique was guided by poisonous insects such as poisonous spiders, poisonous scorpions, poisonous centipedes, and other highly toxic insects. After cultivating for a long time with a mysterious type of medicinal herb, the person who used the Gu had a mysterious connection with these poisonous creatures. The Gu man could control these poisonous bugs with his will to attack other people without anyone knowing and quickly kill them.

There was a limit to the level of a Gu. The higher the level, the greater the strength. There were even some Gu people who had reached the legendary realm, and a louse on their body could instantly kill all living beings in a village. But I don't really believe that it's true, otherwise when we were fighting back then, a powerful Gu man casually walked out of the mountains and gave the Japanese a potion, would we still need to fight for eight years? It should be over in eight months, right?

Thinking about it here, I said to Liao Mengfann: ”What you said does make some sense, but it is still very contradictory!”

I continued, ”Maybe there really is a Gu, but you want to control a large group of spiders to kill a person, and in a very orderly manner at that? Is that possible? ”

Liao Mengfann didn't refute my question. Ever since I returned from the Shanghe County, I discovered that she seemed to have changed into a different person. In the past, when she analyzed cases, she could always be calm and look at the situation objectively. However, ever since the case of the lotus root female corpse and Shanghe County had occurred, her mental state seemed to have changed greatly. She became more ”woman”, and it was easier for her to control her emotions.

I don't know exactly why she turned out like this, but I don't think she's in a position to run a case at all. The last time we were at the Shanghe County, she almost got into an accident. This time we came to such a strange place, I was really afraid that something might happen to her again. I patted Liao Mengfann's hands, and told her: ”When we're dealing with this case, you have to listen to me!”

”Why?” Liao Mengfann looked at me with her big watery eyes, her face filled with suspicion.

I said, ”No reason, it's just because my rank is one rank higher than yours. At the same time, I'm also the team leader for Task Force! ”Heh!”

”Is this an order?” Liao Mengfann asked me curiously as she raised her hand to stroke her jet-black hair.

”Yes!” I resolutely said to her, ”When the case is over, you can rest for a few days. You've been in a bad state recently!”

”Hehe, then you have to promise me one thing!” Liao Mengfann looked at me solemnly and said: ”I will listen to you regarding this case. Once this case is exposed, if the Northface City case is not, I will have to join that case!”

”Tell me your reason!”

Liao Mengfann's face turned slightly sad and said to me, ”My reason should also be because of you, right? Don't you want to crack the case? ”

”Err …” At that time, Liao Mengfann's eyes looked very deep, and I vaguely remembered seeing that look in those eyes once when we were facing the major case of 12.1. She had reminded me to withdraw from the case at that time, and I remember I had cold sweat all over my body when I saw that look. But this time, I felt very close.

When the plane arrived at Mekong City, it was already nine in the morning. Although I slept for 4 hours on the plane, the fatigue in my body didn't disappear. Instead, it became even worse.

When we walked out of the airport, our colleagues from the Mekong City Police were already waiting for us at the intersection. The one who came to welcome us was the Deputy Chief of the local Public Security Bureau. After an introduction, we learned that the Deputy Chief's surname was Yan and his name was Yan Lihua.

I shook hands with Bureau Chief Yan briefly and followed them onto the bus, travel worn and worn out. The bus travels very quickly. On the way, Bureau Chief Yan briefly introduced the sequence of events of the case to us. The following is a brief summary of what happened after I organized the information.

The victim's name was Lee Jingyao, and at 27 years old, was a flat plane model. The Time of Death arrived at 11.09 a.m. on May 2, 2007. The Time of Death was temporarily found out through the description of the person who reported it, and was not confirmed by an autopsy.)

The cause of death was the bite of a large number of spiders. At that time, the landlord of the dead person heard Lee Jingyao scream miserably next door. At first he thought Lee Jingyao was doing some tricks in the house, but she didn't care. But after a few seconds, a 'pu tong' sound suddenly came out from Lee Jingyao's room. The sound was loud, and upon hearing the sound, the landlord rushed over to Lee Jingyao's room and knocked on the door non-stop.

After knocking on the door many times, Lee Jingyao did not respond. The landlord felt that something was wrong, and took out the spare key to the room, but when he opened the door, he saw that the room was already filled with spiders, and Lee Jingyao was completely covered by them. The landlord himself had also been bitten by the spider twice, but his life wasn't in danger right now and he was currently receiving treatment in the hospital.

Without a word, half an hour later, our group arrived at the Mekong City Public Security Bureau. The local police had vacated a room on the third floor of the police station for us to use as a temporary space, and all the information in the case was brought in before we got there.

Director Yan led the three of us into the office. He asked me, ”Comrade Lu, do you want to hold a temporary meeting?”

I waved my hand. ”We won't be opening the meeting, and the pressure from your office is quite great. We should save some time to study the case!” Furthermore, there are only three of us here, there's no need for us to hold this meeting! ”

Ah!” Bureau Chief Yan was clearly a bit embarrassed. He coughed lightly and said, ”So it's like that. If Comrade Lu has any requests, feel free to mention it!” Our Mekong City police will definitely cooperate with your work!

”Not yet!” Oh, yes! ” I said to Director Yan, ”I would like to see the landlord who reported the case, as well as the medical examiner who was in charge of the autopsy. Eh...” Then give us Task Force and a driver! After all, we are not familiar with this place! ”
