In Xiaoyun Restaurant, when Alan saw Lang Mo walking in accompanied by Liao Mu Tanxiao, the joy in his heart was of course self-evident.
"Director Liao, I haven't seen you for a long time. What brought you here again? How have you been lately?" Alan hurriedly came forward to greet you with a smile.
"Okay, okay, thanks to you, it's very good! I am still the director of Wumi Township. In the future, I am afraid I will often bring people from the police station to eat with you. Do you like it?" Liao Mu said, while He looked at Alan and Lang Mo meaningfully.
"Director Liao, you are really good at joking. Welcome, of course I welcome you. I just want to treat a distinguished guest like you, and I am willing to do that." Alan said happily.
"Haha, let me thank the landlady first. Please prepare some side dishes for us today. I want to have a few drinks with Principal Wolf. We will be drunk until we are done..." Liao Mu replied with a smile.
"That's what it should be. Just wait, I'll prepare a meal for you to go with the wine." Alan hurriedly called Cuicui and Dai Jiugui to start cooking. Alan and Cuicui were busy. The grown man was sitting in the restaurant, taking a sip of tea. Liao Mu thought for a while, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but stopped. When Lang Mo saw this, he might have guessed what he was going to say, but he might be too shameless. Bo, perhaps a little embarrassed to say thank you to Lang Mo. The atmosphere seemed very strange. Seeing this, Lang Mo changed the topic and asked: "Director Liao, you just said there is another theft case, this is... ..?"
As soon as the case was mentioned, Liao Mu's expression returned to normal, but he quickly frowned again. He drank a few sips of tea, then slowly put down the cup and said, "If you say this is a theft case, then It can't be completely like this." So, he told it in detail based on what the villager in Fenghua Village said that reported the crime. Finally, he said: "What I find strange is that if what the villager said is true, then take some Anyone who steals fish must first dig open the wall of the pond, drain the water first, and then go down to catch the fish. The problem is..." He paused.
"What is the problem? Will this small fish pond fishing case still trouble you, Director Liao?" Lang Mo asked hurriedly.
"How can I tell you this? Because before I came to find you, I had already gone to the fish pond in the east of the village to inspect it. After my investigation, I discovered a very puzzling phenomenon." Liao Mu sorted it out. Said his own thoughts.
"What's the mystery?"
"The reason why I found this phenomenon puzzling is that after the water in the square pond, which was a hundred meters long and wide, was drained, I walked along the pond several times, and I couldn't find the place where the water was drained. There is no trace of fresh soil excavated on the ridge of the pond. Then, the problem arises, let alone the strange fact that there are no fish left in the pond overnight. Just this full pond of water, from then on, the problem arises. Where did it escape?" Liao Mu seemed to be answering, but also seemed to be asking himself.
"Is it possible that the water drained away from the holes in the earthen wall of the pond?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! I have looked carefully and found no leaky holes or other water holes on the pond wall. I didn't even see a crab hole. To say the least, even if I was careless and didn't find the hidden hole, but the pond is deep in the middle and shallow around it. No matter how leaky the hole is, it can't suck away the water in the middle of the pond. You must know that the water can only flow to the ground. I can I have never heard of water flowing to higher places." Liao Mu further explained.
Hearing this, Lang Mo was obviously curious and asked: "No way, such a thing has happened? The water in such a large fish pond will not evaporate and disappear by itself, right?"
"How is this possible? Not to mention the rainy weather, even in the hot summer, a pond full of water will not evaporate overnight. This is really puzzling. Just now, I was thinking again, will There could not be any cracks at the bottom of the pond that leaked the pond water and fish into the underground river. However, after I took the villagers who reported the case to the pond for on-site inspection, I found that there were only one layer at the bottom of the pond that had already bottomed out. Silt, I was unwilling just now and asked the villagers to dig through the silt, but I still didn't find any cracks, secret passages or anything like that. This is really confusing? I have handled so many cases, and I have never encountered such a bizarre thing. ." After saying this, Liao Mu frowned even more tightly.
"In this way, this is really a very strange fishing case. However, Director Liao, don't worry, this is not a murder case. Investigate slowly, and sooner or later there will be results." See you. Liao Mu was so anxious that Lang Mo comforted him repeatedly.
"Hey, if it's normal, I certainly won't be too anxious. Maybe you don't know that the villagers in Fenghua Village believe in ghosts and ghosts. The villagers who accompanied me just now saw that I had no clue. , actually saying that this is some kind of dragon and snake causing trouble, that some big dragon and snake sucked all the fish in the pond and all the water in the pond into the belly of the dragon and snake! This is simply unreasonable! How can there be any dragon in this world? The theory of snakes and ghosts is simply nonsense! Isn’t this an insult and contempt for those of us who are investigating the case? If the case is not solved as soon as possible, I am worried that the villagers who do not know the truth will make a fuss again and spread it everywhere. By then, I, the director, will How can I explain to the superiors? It’s such a hell in broad daylight.” Liao Mu said angrily.
Speaking of dragon and snake, Lang Mo quickly asked: "Director Liao, what is dragon and snake? Can you give more details?"
"Oh, isn't it the big python with a cockscomb on its head that the villagers saw before? This is the dragon snake they call it. They say that this beast has been practicing for thousands of years and has become a spirit. It can swallow clouds and spit out mist. She can speak spells, speak people's words, turn into a beautiful woman to seduce a young man, and absorb his yang energy and blood essence for him to become an immortal. What is this? Isn't this just feudal superstition? Have you ever seen a living person? A thousand-year-old worm? I have never seen it." Liao Mu said with a bitter smile.
"Big python? I think it's too unreal to say that it can become an immortal. But how big is it? I'm still a little interested. I heard from Village Chief Wang that this big guy can swallow a buffalo in one bite. I don't know. Is it true or false?" Liao Mu's words aroused Liao Mu's curiosity even more, and at the same time, he remembered the words of Village Chief Wang.
