Chapter 38: The Night of Men and Women X Neck Chop

  After returning to the room, I sorted out the materials given by Zou Guan's family. Tomorrow, we will start investigating Xiaoyuan Village.

  Lei Yongchang, 36 years old, lives in Xiayuan Village. The main source of economic income for his family is the production of Tianqi and other Chinese medicinal materials. There are two elderly people at home. Lei Yongchang spent 10,000 yuan to buy a Vietnamese wife who is very obedient to him. After marrying into the Lei family, she has been very virtuous and moral, managing the household well.

  Unfortunately, the Vietnamese girl became pregnant after 20 months.

  At first, there were TV stations and media interviewing her, but after a while of hype, there was no breaking news, so everyone quickly forgot about the 20-month pregnancy.

  All I can gather is this, and I don't understand why Zou Guan Jia would want me to conduct this investigation.

  Late at night.

  The Lei Gong Hotel fell into silence. I couldn't sleep, because that sound kept coming from upstairs.

  The young couple living upstairs has been making loud moaning noises since 9 o'clock.

  Especially that woman, her voice grew louder and louder, rising and falling. I, full of vigor and energy, was completely kept awake by this noise.

  They really can make a fuss, I got out of bed to find some mineral water to drink.

  I saw that at some point, a bunch of snails had crawled onto the wall. What surprised me was that these snails seemed to have received an order, they lined up in a straight line, very neatly, from the wall all the way to the ceiling.

  The distance between each snail and another snail is about 5 centimeters apart. This regular phenomenon makes me feel that nature is very wonderful.

  However, I don't have a good impression of the snot worms either, so I decided to give feedback to the boss's wife tomorrow morning and ask her to call someone to clean them up thoroughly. Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep soundly because I'm afraid that when I fall asleep, one of the snot worms will drop from the ceiling and hit my face.

  After drinking water, I looked at the time and it was already 1:25 in the morning. The couple upstairs had been going at it for several hours.

  This guy is really quite impressive. I truly have some admiration for him.

  Suddenly from above came a woman's loud and mournful scream, followed by a man's scream.

  The two screams broke the silence of the early morning hours, waking everyone up from their dreams.

  Then, the stairs were constantly running with people, very chaotic.

  I also ran out of the room and rushed quickly to the third floor.

  At the end of the third floor, a young man covered in blood sat on the ground laughing and crying. He was completely naked without any cover, it could be seen that he was with his girlfriend when something suddenly happened during their intimate moment, causing him to rush out without even wearing clothes.

  I and others rushed into his room, the scene inside made me almost vomit: on the dark moldy floor, a woman's naked corpse with her neck cut in half.

  The woman's face was twisted in a look of terror, her eyes wide open and her mouth agape - this deathly expression reminded me of the movie "One Missed Call" I watched in junior high school, where those students who answered the phone all died with the same expression as the girl lying dead before my eyes now.

  A heap of quicklime powder was scattered on the floor, and the body was also covered with a lot of quicklime powder. A torn snakeskin bag used to hold quicklime powder hung limply from the window in the room.

  Someone was walking in and out of the room, I quickly told everyone not to destroy the crime scene so as not to destroy the police's clues for solving the case.

  Kui Ruo Lan and Chen Qiu Yang also walked in, they kept a distance from the body, looked around, Chen Qiu Yang held his camera and took pictures quickly.

  In the blinding flash of the camera, the girl's corpse looked even more terrifying.

  Ruan Feng also walked up from the first floor. He looked at the corpse on the ground with its neck split in two and frowned continuously.

  The body was covered with quicklime, and he stood beside it cautiously, looking at it for a moment before standing up and saying to me: "From the girl's neck, it can be seen that she was killed by someone from behind with an axe or other sharp object, cutting off the major artery in her neck, causing instant death. The specifics will have to wait until a professional forensic doctor performs an autopsy."

  The police arrived about half an hour later and the onlookers gradually dispersed.

  It was the boyfriend who had been frightened, and he kept shouting: "There's a monster, it's so terrifying! A two-headed monster, waaah, the monster is killing people!"

  My mind immediately flashed back to that two-faced freak baby I met on the empty lot of grass. Could it be that two-faced freak baby who committed murder?

  Huierlan, Chen Qiuyang returned to my room, and the police asked one by one.

  Chen Qiuyang copied the first on-the-scene photos he took and gave them to the police.

  After the police left, Chen Qiuyang uploaded the photos he took to the computer. Through the computer screen, the bloody and terrifying scenes appeared before us one by one.

  Although I have seen the bloody video of Yang Hong's death and experienced the terrifying cannibalism incident in Liu Long Village, I still have no immunity to such horrific scenes.

  I looked at the photo carefully, and suddenly I found that there was something on one of the photos: outside the window of the room, there was a large tree, and on the branch of the big tree, there was a cat-like owl thing.

  I pointed at the photo and said: "Here, outside the window, hurry up and take a closer look!"

  Chen Qiuyang's camera was a high-end product purchased by Zou Guan from abroad, and even when zoomed in on the computer, it was still clear. Everyone gasped, especially Chen Qiuyang and Ruo Lan, who were seeing this monster for the first time. A baby with two faces stared wide-eyed, its four eyes glowing red, its feet and hands grasping a branch like a strange bird perched on a tree branch. And in his right hand, he clutched an axe dripping with blood.

  It's all clear now - at the time when this couple was making out on the bed, with the man on top and the woman below, this two-faced monster jumped in from outside the window wielding an axe and chopped the girl's neck into two halves.

  I immediately reported these findings to the police, and the police said they would go all out to catch the two-faced baby.

  "This two-faced monster is actually just an infant, perhaps it kills people out of hatred for humans or other reasons. Look at its expression as it lies on the tree, its gaze is that of an infant, with a sense of innocence."

  Chen Qiuyang said: "No way, Lanlan, you actually see innocence? I feel it's full of resentment and thick killing intent."

  "I said, 'If it dares to kill one person, it will certainly kill others. Everyone should lock their doors and windows at night.' I was worried that the Double-Faced Baby might continue its killing spree when a fellow traveler walked over and knocked on my door. It was Cai Yilin, the wife of the Taiwanese Wu couple."

  She politely said: "Sorry to disturb you. I brought some things over for you because it looks like this is your first time here."

  She handed a plastic bag to Kui Ruo Lan and said, "You hang them on the window, and that double-faced monster baby won't dare to come in. Actually, we all gave it to that young couple, but unfortunately they didn't believe me and didn't hang it on the window, so the monster baby ran in and killed her, what a pity."

  Her words stunned us all. I said: "Auntie Wu, you're good, so you all know that there's a two-faced monster baby here?"

  "Uh, actually, the villagers here and those who often come here have all seen that two-faced monster baby to some extent. It's just that everyone seems to unanimously not want to talk about it. The goat-bearded man at the bonfire party would tell this story every time he got drunk, and we actually believe his experience. It's just that every village seems to have something taboo, and this two-faced monster baby is the taboo of this area. Everyone has always wanted to catch this monster baby, but it seems to be born agile, so many years, no one has ever caught it."

  Kui Ruo Lan took out three red things from a plastic bag, and I saw that they were three red handkerchiefs with an embroidered yellow duck on each.

  Chen Qiuyang exclaimed in surprise: "Is the two-faced monster baby afraid of red handkerchiefs?"

  "Yes, although I also don't know why the two-faced baby is afraid of red handkerchiefs, it has been verified that when it faces a red handkerchief, it will indeed be afraid."

  "Thank you, thank you so much." After seeing her off, I called Ruan De Feng and told him the whole story.

  "Wei Dong said, 'So that's what it was. No wonder when we arrived at the Lei Gong Inn, the local contact people gave each of us a red handkerchief and told us to hang it in the window at night. Damn, those contact people just instructed us to do so without clearly telling us the reason. I thought it was their superstitious nonsense, so I threw that handkerchief on the table. Luckily, Shuang Lian Jiang didn't enter our room.'"

  I said: "Dr. Ruan, how would you explain this incident using medical common sense? It seems to have exceeded the normal category."

  "My great detective agency head, do you really think I'm an encyclopedia or something? Or if you don't understand, you can just Baidu it. The explanation I can give is: they are special conjoined twins who have genetic mutations. For example, some women who eat certain foods or smoke and drink during pregnancy, or often come into contact with animals carrying bacteria, may give birth to deformed babies or stillbirths. And as for why it's so powerful, I think it can be understood in relation to what the goat beard said: the two-faced monster baby was brought deep into the Leigong Mountains by some animals and lived with them, thus gaining animal-like abilities."

  For example, the wolf child that was discovered before was actually just a human baby who grew up in a pack of wolves and learned all their habits. As for why they were afraid of red handkerchiefs, I don't know either. Anyway, I'm tired, tomorrow I still have to go to Xiayuan Village for a free clinic."
