Chapter 186: Talismans, Taoist Priests, Sleight of Hand, and the Dead
Everyone looked at him in confusion, thinking he was just a fool.
He was still charging forward. With the boss here, how could he possibly be in danger? Was his reputation as the "living devil" all for nothing? He couldn't even handle a fish?
Fortunately, the boss didn’t hear it. If he had heard it, he would have beaten him to death.
Bai Yangfan and Lu Jingheng ignored the chatter of the people over there. Their attention was focused on the fish. Only when it swam closer did they realize that it was probably a bighead carp.
Because its head is very big, it opens its mouth and drinks water "gurglingly", and the water is discharged on both sides of the gills.
But those eyes were staring straight at the people on the shore, full of vigilance.
Lu Jingheng looked nervously at the fish in the water, then at Bai Yangfan, who was silent, with a gloomy face and no strange sound.
Doesn't she understand the language of fish?
Come to think of it, fish are creatures of water, and we probably haven't had much contact with them, so it's okay if we don't understand them.
Seeing Bai Yangfan looking at the big fish, Lu Jingheng felt very strange.
After a moment, the big fish made a sound, similar to the crying of a baby, or the meowing of a female cat in heat in spring.
It's just that the volume is not loud, just enough for them to hear it. If they are far away and the surrounding environment is noisy, they won't be able to hear it.
Lu Jingheng actually heard it and saw the fish slowly change its posture.
Bai Yangfan also made a similar sound with no expression on his face.
The big fish slowly retracted its posture, and the water around it gurgled. Bai Yangfan stared at the fish's eyes indifferently, as if glaring back at it.
When the fish stopped making any sound, a whimpering sound came from her throat.
After a while, the big fish flicked its tail, made a series of sounds, dived its head down, and dived into the water.
A whirlpool appeared on the water surface again, but this time the flow rate was obviously faster than the last time. After a while, the whirlpool disappeared, and what remained were ripples on the water surface, rippling in circles.
"Huh!" Seeing that the big fish had disappeared, Lu Jingheng breathed a sigh of relief and put his pistol on his waist. "Yangfan! Are you okay? What did you communicate with the big fish?"
Turning his head and glancing at the dog man, Bai Yangfan threw out a few words indifferently: "Talisman, Taoist priest, sleight of hand, dead man."
Lu Jingheng was confused by these few nonsensical words.
real.
Very confused.
He didn't understand. Among these words, only the word "dead person" seemed reliable. The rest were completely unrelated.
"What do you mean?" Bai Yangfan said last time that animals do not have the ability to organize language, and we can only get some information from their fragmented words.
But this big fish is too nonsense and unreliable. How can we explain these few words for no reason? How can we connect them?
"I don't know either." Bai Yangfan looked at the calm surface of the reservoir, "You should go back and check the social relationship between the driver and the conductor. It's not the kind that can be seen with the naked eye, but the more secretive kind.
From these few words, we can hypothesize the development of the case. Of course, this is just a hypothesis, and how to prove it is up to you to investigate."
"What if?" Lu Jingheng frowned in thought. "Yang Fan! Are you saying that the people in that car were all created by a trick? Was it because someone used talismans and invited a Taoist priest?"
A hint of relief flashed in Bai Yangfan's eyes. "This young man is teachable. If this hypothesis is true, it would explain why no one reported the missing persons after the carload of people disappeared."
This little hint ignited hope in Lu Jingheng's heart. He was not a narrow-minded person, and he also knew that there were some crooked ways in the world that could deceive people's eyes.
For many things, what you hear may not be false, and what you see may not be true. You have to speak based on the facts.
"You're right, this direction is probably correct." Lu Jingheng never objected to women's keen sense of light. "Talismans! Taoist priests! Sleight of hand, dead man. If sleight of hand is valid, then there must be Taoist priests and talismans."
"The deaths are also true." Bai Yangfan added, "There's no need to check the bus. As long as we find the Taoist priest, everything will be revealed."
Glancing at Bai Yangfan, Lu Jingheng's eyes were filled with admiration. "I didn't expect you could understand the language of fish, Yangfan! You're a remarkable person. I'm truly astonished. Any more information? How long has this fish been around?"
As soon as he asked the question, Bai Yangfan looked at him as if he was a fool.
He felt embarrassed: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"You look like an idiot to me." Bai Yangfan glared at the man and explained indifferently, "Fish don't have memories, but this big fish remembers those key words. Why do you think it does that?"
"Huh? Why?" Lu Jingheng frowned, suddenly remembering what Bai Yangfan had said before. She had said this thing was quite remarkable. Could it be that this fish already had human-like memories?
"You mean it's intelligent?" Lu Jingheng asked, not even believing himself. "No way! Is this fish that smart?"
Bai Yangfan didn't want to explain anything. Whether the dog man believed it or not, this big fish already had memories. Whether it had intelligence or not, this guy should not be underestimated.
"In the future, let the relevant departments put up a sign by the lake to prohibit people from swimming here to prevent accidents." After saying this, Bai Yangfan turned and walked towards the road on the shore.
Seeing that they were about to leave, Zhang Yong could no longer hide anything he said. He immediately got up and ran to drive the car, for fear that Lu Jingheng would catch him and beat him.
Fei Wen looked at his back and laughed to himself: "This guy is so boring. Why is he running away? The boss and classmate Xiaobai are not aware of our behavior. It's inexplicable."
Bai Han had wanted to run, but upon hearing his words, he stopped abruptly: "You're right, we've been exposed a long time ago. Isn't it a bit too late to run now?"
Xu Keshan said unhappily, "Then let's go meet up with the boss and wait for that idiot to drive over to find us."
The three of them agreed and came to Lu Jingheng and Bai Yangfan. Fei Wen was curious and moved closer to Bai Yangfan: "Xiaobai! Were you afraid of that big fish that just swam in front of you?"
Glancing at him calmly, Bai Yangfan shook his head calmly: "I'm not afraid. It's in the water, and I'm on the shore. It can't do anything to me. If there's anything to be afraid of, it should be more afraid of me. After all, humans are the masters of the earth. No matter how powerful any creature is, they only rely on instinctive ferocity. We humans have learned to rely on wisdom to avoid risks."
After she said this, everyone nodded. Come to think of it, the big fish is powerful, but they are not in the water, so what can they do?
If they were really in the water, they would not let the big fish get close to them, not to mention that the boss was holding a gun in his hand.
