"Oh, Shen Chong."

Liu Xianglin was stunned and responded, but he didn't say anything, but threw away the cigarette butt, lit another one, and turned his head to still stare at the fork in the road, not knowing what he was thinking.

He read Shen Chong's name all over again, but he still didn't seem to be able to match the person with the old acquaintance in his mind.

This is the case with the stalemate of the human mind.

Specifically, it is to look for a mobile phone with a mobile phone, or to see acquaintances and friends, which should be recognized at a glance, but the thoughts in the mind are floating elsewhere.

At this time, Liu Xianglin was like this, and many people in the town came to chat with him.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Shen Chong didn't say anything more, so he tried to smoke again.

He couldn't eat it for two bites, he hadn't touched this thing for too long, his eyes were smoky, and the corners of his eyes were filled with tears.

Shen Chong quietly threw the cigarette butt that was only burned to a quarter aside, clasped his knees with both hands and continued to sit side by side with Liu Xianglin, also looking at the direction of the fork in the road in a daze.

Looking beyond the dense trees, at the end of the line of sight, you can vaguely see a corner of the school building with emerald green mosaic tiles.

Kicking away the dog who quietly came up like a thief, trying to pick up the cigarette butt he hadn't finished smoking, Shen Chong stood up and waved his hand to beckon the dog to prepare to leave.

He hadn't taken two steps when a voice came from behind him, "Dude, thank you for coming back to see me." ”

Shen Chong turned his head, the man looked at him directly, and he regained some vigor a little, he could be regarded as matching people in his heart.

So, Shen Chong sat back and patted Liu Xianglin on the shoulder, "Mourn." ”

Liu Xianglin took a deep breath and exhaled a burst of white smoke, "I can't mourn, brother!" I can't get over this hurdle in my heart! I regret it......"

He started again.

It doesn't matter who comes to talk to him, he will return to this routine without a word.

In the face of the people in the town, so did Shen Chong, who drove back from Shudu hundreds of miles away.

He's under the spell.

These words in his mouth, Shen Chong had already heard them when he inquired with people in Linjiang Town before.

After the man finished reading according to the script, he began to cover his face and wipe his tears, no matter what Shen Chong said to him, he only hid his head under his elbow and kept shaking his head.

Shen Chong is not good at coaxing people, and sighed helplessly when he saw this, "Alas, I'll come to see you when I go back." ”

He got up again and walked down the fork in the road towards the school, his cry getting louder and louder, and in a few seconds it became hoarse and harsh again.

Obviously, the sky was clear at this time, and the sun was hanging high, but the sound from far behind him made Shen Chong's heart as cold as deep winter, and the cry was like a bone scraper, scraping repeatedly at the bottom of his heart.

Eleven or twelve years ago, Liu Xianglin, who was carrying a war stick in the green dragon and white tiger, was such a hero.

Now, the loss of his beloved son has made him a completely drunk and stupid half-madman.

This is probably one of the greatest sufferings in the world.

Shen Chong was full of emotion, and before he came, he wanted to let his emotions be stimulated more deeply.

But after feeling it once, he felt that this feeling was too deep.

A man and a dog walked slowly on the dirt road.

"Boss, that guy is so miserable."

"yes, miserable."

Shen Chong nodded, carefully probing the ridge on the side of the road.

When the case first happened a year ago, no one knew what was going on, and after 12 months, it was impossible for him to find anything out of such aimless luck.

The intuition that he gave high hopes didn't move, this thing was like a lottery, there was no or nothing, and it wouldn't be easily transferred by his will.

His emotions are in place now, but the amount of information obtained from the outside by the invincible memory is far from enough, and he cannot subconsciously form an analytical data model that is enough to support comprehensive judgment.

To use the popular saying nowadays, it is that there are not enough big data samples and there is no way to analyze them.

The dog is lazy, it doesn't have the ability to open the demon yuan, and it walks lazily in front with its tail cocked.

Shen Chong stared at its buttocks, thinking to himself, if I can superimpose the dog's sense of smell, hearing, and vision to transform the demon element, I can get more details from the surrounding environment, and I can probably strengthen the intuition derived from the invincible memory to a new height, right?

Liang Zai felt that the chrysanthemum was cool for a while, and he grabbed his tail and turned his head violently, "Boss, what do you want to do?" ”

Shen Chong turned his face away, "It's nothing." ”

The computing center of the sensing element that collects information and analyzes the data is not in the same system, and the coordination rate is not enough, so there is no way!

When he returned to the entrance of Linjiang Town, Liu Xianglin was no longer here, and today he rarely returned home early, Shen Chong did not bother again, but drove to Panlong Township and Zhongxing Township.

He really couldn't find out where the missing child in Panlong Township was lost, so he just walked around and walked around at will, and then went straight to Zhongxing Township.

Because there were eyewitnesses this time, the place was much easier to find.

For a hundred yuan, please ask the informed fellow to lead the way, and Shen Chong found a place along the field road.

"Brother Shen, this is the place. At that time, Brother Cai rushed over from the commissary with a stick, and in just two dazzling hours, the baby was gone. ”

Shen Chong nodded, "Thank you." ”

He looked around, pointed to the field, and said, "At that time, the rice in this paddy field was very lush? ”

"yes."

"Oh."

Shen Chong suddenly said: "That's not the right time!" ”

The buddy who led the way asked blankly, "What?" ”

Shen Chong shook his head, "It's nothing. ”

After the others left, he squatted on the edge of the field and began to recount the time.

I had seen in the file that the time of the crime was two years ago, and he habitually set it as one year and twelve months when calculating the time, ignoring that the exact time of the first crime was the autumn harvest, which was September, not really two years ago.

When calculating at home, because of preconceived ideas, and too tight, I made mistakes, and I didn't pay attention to calculate for more than six months.

Now, to accurately estimate that the time interval between the first and second cases should be close to ten months.

The second and third are exactly eight months.

The third time was Liu Xianglin's son's accident, and it is now exactly one year and twelve months.

This way the sub-timeline is messed up.

According to his previous thoughts, he assumed that the perpetrator was a psychics or a youkai, and that each time he ascended, he would need to kill a child.

Do I have to overturn all my thinking?

In fact, there is no pattern in the three cases, not together?

Isn't that a cheat?

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of motorcycles at the end of the path, and in a blink of an eye, a motorcycle turned the path and came straight to it, stopped next to Shen Chong, and jumped down a young man with a weathered face but a happy face.

"I said you're too much! Don't even say a word to me when you get home! It's a long way to go! The people in the city look down on the old brother! ”

The young man rushed in front of Shen Chong in three steps and two steps, and punched him hard in the shoulder.

Shen Chong got up and punched the other party's shoulder, "Phew, aren't I busy doing errands?" ”

The person who came was called Huang Mao, Shen Chong's old brother.

Among their group of people, Shen Chong and Huang Mao, nicknamed Huang Mao, have the strongest relationship.

In the past, he liked to dye his hair yellow, and it was only fitting that he was called yellow.

However, if you mix it up together, Shen Chong can be admitted to a sports school with a little dim sum and study.

Huang Mao had no choice at all, he didn't even study high school, and stayed in his hometown to pick up his Lao Tzu's class to do some small farming.

Huang Mao is quite reliable, although he didn't go out to wander, but he is also a small rich family in Pailou Town.

"Go, go, what serious can you do, I heard that you are inquiring about the disappearance of the child, shouldn't you wear epaulettes after not seeing you for a year?"

"Not really. Huangmao, don't be angry with me, I'm planning to look for you when I'm almost busy. ”

Huang Mao rolled his eyes, "Why am I angry with you, and I'm not a little kid who doesn't understand anything." You've been out for so many years, and now I'm clearer than you in this place, so you can ask me for help when you run errands, so there's no need to ask others around. You see I received the wind, and I rode over and found out your girl in minutes. ”

"You can help a fart, okay, close the stall today, and go to your house for dinner."

"Then I'll call my wife now and ask her to get two more dishes."

Half an hour later, two people and a dog walked into a small courtyard on the street of Pailou Town.

The old bungalow of Huang Mao's family has long been demolished and replaced with a two-story small western-style building, and a domestic pickup truck is still parked in the yard.

Shen Chong's car could only be parked outside the gate, and he didn't have to worry about being labeled.

The two buddies moved chairs in the yard to make tea, and while eating melon seeds, Liang Zai honestly lay at Shen Chong's feet, and did not provoke the big dog that was tied to the corner of the yard and could be beaten at a glance.

"Tell me, what the hell are you doing now? Why did you suddenly inquire about the case? Didn't I remember you saying you were working as a security guard? Your car is good, for the rich woman? ”

"!"

Huang Mao couldn't control his mouth and heart, so he opened the conversation box and began to pull the calf again.

Damn, which pot is not opened, Shen Chong kicked him, and Huang Mao hid to the side.

This grandson didn't know about Xinxin, but he said it crookedly.

Shen Chong pulled back the topic, "I'm inquiring about the disappearance of those three children, as for why I want to ask, don't ask." ”

Huang Mao understood, "Alas, speaking of Liu Xianglin is also miserable, at that time, we all followed and looked for a long time, and turned Linjiang Town and our town upside down, some people said that they were abducted, who knows." ”

Shen Chong shook his head, "It shouldn't have been abducted." ”

"I think so too. We don't actually recognize the statement that the police station closed the case, but we can't do anything, the police station can't just revolve around this one thing without doing anything. ”

Shen Chong continued to nod, "Anyway, I think there is something else hidden in this matter, but I can't talk to you about it now." By the way, let your baby not run around these days, and wait for the limelight to pass. Your baby has someone to pick you up after school, right? ”

Huang Mao hummed, "My dad goes to pick it up every day, and it should be almost out of school at this time." ”

"The day after tomorrow, you have to keep an eye on the Qingming holiday."

"Okay, I'll listen to you. By the way, there's something I need to tell you about that house......"

"Don't tell me yet, I don't want to hear it, I'll talk when I'm done."

Shen Chong immediately interrupted him, and when he left home last year, he asked Huang Mao to help him look at the old mansion.

Now he mentions that most of it is related to that group of unlucky relatives, which is definitely not a good thing, out of sight and heart is pure, and the roots of his ears are clean.

The house doesn't care about money, the money is small, and the savings are not in a bad mood.

"Well, well."

When it was time to eat, Huang Mao's old father took the baby home.

This baby perfectly inherited Huang Mao's talent for reading, it is really simple addition and subtraction that is not straight, and he entered the school late, almost eight years old before entering the first grade.

Stupid is a little stupid, but the person is very likable, the mouth is quite sweet, there is an Uncle Shen on the left, and another Uncle Shen screams.

Shen Chong took out his wallet and auctioned out six red tickets in a happy mood, making Huang Mao quite embarrassed.

At the dinner table, Old Man Huang scolded Huang Mao.

It turned out that Huang Mao should have ridden to the eel pond this afternoon to sprinkle quicklime for disinfection, but he didn't care about the pond and rode directly to chase Shen Chong to Zhongxing Township.

When the two of them returned, they sat down and chatted, and he completely forgot about it.

Shen Chong hurriedly took the pot, saying that it was his own fault, "Uncle Huang, don't be angry, I'll take him after dinner!" ”

Uncle Huang was embarrassed to explain to Shen Chong, "I'm not targeting Shen Chong, it's really troublesome to raise aquatic products." Alas, if this stinky boy wants you to be half as reliable, I will be able to retire and enjoy happiness with peace of mind, and now I can toss my old bones enough. ”

Shen Chong sighed, "I envy Uncle Huang, and I envy Huang Mao, I ...... Alas......"

Thinking of the situation of Shen Chong's family, the people at the table sighed for a long time.

After eating, the two of them and a dog drove to the Huang family's farm, Shen Chong didn't dare to take a hand casually, so he stood on the edge of the pond and watched Huang Maoquan sprinkle quicklime into the pond with his feelings.

Huang Mao subconsciously gave Shen Chong science popularization while working, "Hey, every year just after winter and spring, this eel is easy to get sick." By the end of this year, I will save some money to repair the greenhouse, and next year I will use the plastic greenhouse wintering method in the book. ”

Shen Chong subconsciously asked, "Then how do you say that the wild yellow eels outside survive the winter?" ”

Huang Mao pouted, "What can I do?" At the end of October, I will drill into the mud and pretend to be dead, and then come out to do activities when the spring heats up. ”

A bolt of lightning swept through Shen Chong's mind, and he instantly became clear.

Damn, I made a mistake!

He claims to be an expert in animal husbandry, but all the breeding materials he has seen before are basically conventional routines of chickens, ducks, fish, cattle, sheep, and pigs.

He hadn't thought about shrimp, crabs, and eels yet, and he hadn't thought about wintering!

The first child was victimized in September.

Then, at that time, the Yellow Eel Demon should have just been born, about July and August of that year, and hurt people when it was promoted for the first time in September.

But at this time, the level of the yellow eel demon was still low, and it was not completely detached from animal nature.

At the end of October, it completely stopped eating and entered a state of dormancy for the winter, and resumed its activities after the temperature rose in spring, continuing the evolution of the demon element, further detaching itself from the living habits of ordinary yellow eels.

It doesn't do it until July of the following year, and the next winter it stops pretending to be dead for the winter, and the third time it does it in March.

It makes sense, and the time is completely connected.

There was a gap of ten months between the first injury and the second injury, and the coldest time in the middle five or six months passed, and the activity time was actually only four months.

The second time he hurt people was also advanced, and then it took eight months to complete the evolution of the demon element, until he did it for the third time when he advanced again a year ago.

According to the law of the natural growth of the monster and demon element, then the time interval between its fourth advancement, that is, the fourth time to hurt people, should be between twelve and sixteen months.

Shen Chong looked down at the yellow eels rolling in the pool, and then remembered the picture in Skynet's surveillance, and had a plan in his mind.

No wonder the dog can only smell the smell of aquatic products, because that girl is a yellow eel demon!

As for why it can hide so much, because it can drill into the mud, and it is likely to change its size!

"Huang Mao, thank you for this, I left beforehand, you must remember to let your baby not run around!"

"Hey, wait......"

Huang Mao's hand was raised, scratching his head, "You sent me back,!" ”

The dog followed Shen Chong, and after getting into the car, Shen Chong said, "Let's go back to the position of the camera." ”

The dog asked, "What are you doing?" ”

"Would you like to eat roasted yellow eel?"

"Yes!"

"Let's turn those fields upside down!"

"What the hell is the Yellow Eel Monster! Boss, we need to buy some cumin and chili noodles. ”
