Chapter 13 Chapter 13 (Revised) Translator
That night, Wu Yuanqing rushed back to Mangzhai with a flashlight.
Ruan Feng had just finished visiting the village when he happened to run into Wu Yuanqing. He reported, "Inspector, we've walked around, but they're still not cooperating."
While Wu Yuanqing and Ruan Feng were discussing the case, Sang Baiyu pulled Fang Xiaoman into the dark.
It appeared again.
The shrine was facing away from them. Fang Xiaoman shuddered when she saw this thing. "It seems that this wasn't the position I saw before."
Sang Baiyu said "hmm", "Someone moved it here."
Fang Xiaoman shouted to Wu Yuanqing, "Uncle Inspector, do the people in Mang Village still believe in the Flying Head God?"
Only then did Wu Yuanqing see the Buddhist shrine. He walked over and looked at it curiously.
Ruan Feng said, "I don't know what the Flying Head God is, but I'm sure no one in Mang Village worships a god."
Sang Baiyu turned to the front of the shrine and looked at it silently.
In the darkness, the big head wrapped around the slender neck, and the eyes were particularly fierce.
No, Mangzhai used to belong to Xin Feitoushen.
Something must have happened in this village.
Wu Yuanqing followed and walked to the front. When he saw the face of the Flying Head God, his face turned pale for a moment.
His first reaction was to look at Sang Baiyu, "Aren't you afraid of this?"
Sang Baiyu said: "Uncle, there are no ghosts in the world. You are a criminal police officer, you know that."
Wu Yuanqing: “…”
I was taught a lesson by my child again.
Sang Baiyu asked, "Why was the drug addict's head cut off? Did Min Jun do it?"
"Several kids said it wasn't them. It was Min Jun who found the drug addict's body and it was he who proposed the body swap. They all said that when the drug addict was put in the cellar, his head was intact."
So after the children exchanged the bodies, someone else entered the cellar, cut off the drug addict's head, and threw it at the barbecue stall in front of the police station, attracting the attention of the police.
Sang Baiyu looked at Mangzhai shrouded in the night. This mysterious village hid more secrets.
Wu Yuanqing closed his eyes.
There was something indescribably strange about the Flying Head God. After looking at him for a long time, Wu Yuanqing felt uncomfortable.
Sang Baiyu slowly approached the Feitou God—his body remained motionless, but his face moved closer and closer.
Fang Xiaoman's facial features twisted when he saw her, and he really wanted to pick her up.
From Wu Yuanqing's perspective, Sang Baiyu seemed to be about to merge into one with Feitoushen.
It was quiet late at night, and Wu Yuanqing and Fang Xiaoman huddled together silently.
The two of them disliked each other, "Uncle, you are a detective, aren't you too timid?"
Wu Yuanqing: "I'm an ordinary person, but you, who usually yells and shouts, are you scared now?"
Although they were disgusted, their bodies were very honest and they were getting closer and closer.
Ruan Feng: “…”
After an unknown amount of time, Sang Baiyu finally straightened up and said, "Let's go for a walk."
Several people walked towards Mangzhai.
Fang Xiaoman asked in a low voice: "What were you doing just now?"
Sang Baiyu said, "I want to remember its taste."
Fang Xiaoman: "...I'm really going to be scared of you."
After the few people left, there was a sound from the nearby haystack.
First there was the sound of wheels scraping against the ground, followed by a dragging sound.
The tangled weeds moved more violently, and a pair of eyes emerged from the grass, followed by half a head.
This face was particularly terrifying. There seemed to be only brown-red scabs on it, and one of its eyeballs was white, which was particularly conspicuous in the dark night.
The face slowly moved forward and did not stop until it reached the Flying Head God.
He looked in the direction where Sang Baiyu and the others left, then pushed over the shrine and took the Flying Head God under him.
Murders occurred one after another in Mangzhai, and the villagers were extremely vigilant.
However, the murder had already happened, and it was natural for the police to intervene, and Jokowi could no longer stop it.
He stood in front of our bamboo house and watched Wu Yuanqing and others enter Mangzhai.
He had a premonition that Mangzhai was about to face a disaster.
*
There are many fields in Mangzhai, so it takes some effort to move around.
Sang Baiyu sniffed left and right, jumping from south to north, and then from north to south.
Wu Yuanqing felt tired for her, "Do you really want to use the smell to find the person who released the head god?"
Fang Xiaoman immediately backed up Sang Baiyu, "We helped you find the body!"
Wu Yuanqing said, "Okay, I'll treat you guys to some popsicles when we get back."
Fang Xiaoman held up three fingers, "Two!"
Wu Yuanqing: “…”
Sang Baiyu, who was at the front, suddenly stopped.
She looked at the dark bamboo building in front of her and turned back to ask Ruan Feng, "Sister Ruan Feng, whose house is this?"
Ruan Feng glanced at his notes and said, "A bachelor, 35 years old, named Sangbo, strong, quiet, and very resistant to us."
As soon as he finished speaking, a man over 1.8 meters tall walked out of the bamboo building carrying a washbasin and stopped when he saw Sang Baiyu.
Sambo is still unmarried and lives alone.
He had a dark complexion but a sturdy build and fairly regular features. His family was poor, and his parents had died of illness. He left all his property to his parents for their medical treatment and never married.
He used to work on a rubber farm. He was a very hardworking man. Although he spent a lot of money when his parents passed away, he is now slowly saving some money.
Several families wanted to marry their daughters to him. Some of them were attracted by Sangbo's diligence and wanted to give him their daughters who had just turned 14, but Sangbo refused.
Sang Baiyu whispered, "It's his smell."
*
At present, it seems that Sang Bo has no direct connection with the murder case. Wu Yuanqing sent someone to stay and keep an eye on him, while he took Sang Baiyu away.
The people of Mangzhai are fierce, so he has to protect the two girls and try not to expose them.
Sang Baiyu wanted to investigate further.
Wu Yuanqing said, "I'm going to look for the place where Min Jun found the drug addict's body. It seems some people don't want to go there."
Sang Baiyu immediately followed Wu Yuanqing, "I will be obedient!"
Wu Yuanqing smiled with his lips curved.
Sang Baiyu is quite cute.
Fang Xiaoman muttered, "Inspector Uncle took the initiative to take us there? Isn't there a place that needs us? Inspector Uncle, please don't throw us away when you don't need us anymore."
Wu Yuanqing: "..., am I that kind of person?"
Fang Xiaoman affirmed: "Absolutely."
Sang Baiyu stepped forward to smooth things over, "Forget it, Uncle Wu is very good to me."
Wu Yuanqing was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes, "It's still Xiaoyu..."
Sang Baiyu looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, worriedly. "Although he always distrusts me, gets mean to me, and tries to trick me, he's always very good to me."
Wu Yuanqing: “…”
Tears flooded back.
The four of them deliberately chose another way out of the village, which required walking along a mountain road.
Sang Baiyu looked at the end of the mountain road and stopped again. "I heard there is a tiankeng in Mang Village."
Ruan Feng said: "I've been there, it's nothing special, just a very deep pit, you can't see the bottom."
For some reason, Sang Baiyu felt that there was a force attracting her in the dark.
She whispered, "Let's go and take a look."
An hour later, they finally found the bamboo forest where Min Jun found the body.
The small bamboo forest is ten minutes away from Mangzhai. There is a small path next to it. Generally, only people entering and leaving Mangzhai will pass through the bamboo forest.
Fang Xiaoman got a headache when she saw the bamboo forest. "Min Jun found the body here? It's so big, what's going on?"
Sang Baiyu pointed directly in a direction, "This way, the smell of blood."
Fang Xiaoman: "!, human-shaped police dog!"
The three followed Sang Baiyu into the bamboo forest for about five minutes, and sure enough, they saw two pools of blood.
It hasn't rained in Longxinggang these days, and footprints can still be found in the bamboo forest.
Sang Baiyu squatted on the ground and observed for a moment, then said, "He ran from the opposite direction of Mangzhai. Someone was chasing him. He couldn't escape and was shot dead."
"You know all this?" Fang Xiaoman asked, "How did you figure that out?"
Sang Baiyu said: "The footprints left by adults when running and walking are different. He was running up to this point. The bamboo next to him has a strong smell of sweat. He must have been running at full speed, and when he couldn't run anymore, he leaned on the bamboo to rest, and was caught up. Following the footprints, we may be able to find where he bumped into the murderer and started to run."
Ruan Feng added: "I didn't see any guns in Mang Village. Although it's possible that they hid them, the people of Mang Village don't hunt, and the village is relatively poor, so they probably can't afford guns."
"Are there really two murderers? Min Jun is lucky to be able to see the body."
Several people followed the footprints until they walked out of the bamboo forest.
There is still a dirt road outside the bamboo forest. Across the dirt road, there is a simple guesthouse in Chinese style.
The guesthouse has three floors. In front of the door is a spacious courtyard with several square tables, which is a place for guests to eat.
Follow the sign and walk in, you will see the front desk, and the boss is hiding behind the desk listening to the radio.
Sang Baiyu glanced at the prices on the wall. Most of the rooms in the guesthouse were multi-person rooms, and the most exaggerated ones were large bunk beds for ten people.
A few people walked in without asking the price, and the boss stood up cursing, "Who are you?! Are you looking for trouble?!"
Wu Yuanqing learned his lesson and showed his gun. "Come with us?"
