[163] The Mystery of the Baby

Ran Qin received a report that a bizarre car accident occurred in Panshi Township. The culprit of the car accident was an unmanned tricycle.

According to eyewitnesses, he carried a hoe and finished work and went home. He witnessed an unmanned tricycle speeding past him on Keegan Road, and then the car and the driver fell headlong into a one-meter-wide Dongfeng ditch on the roadside.

By the way, the water in that canal is not deep, and it is not as fast as the water in the big river. How could it possibly drown people?

The older generation said, "When your time of death comes, even a cow's feet will drown someone. This is true."

The drowned bodies were recovered from the shore, including a man, a woman and a child. It was later confirmed that they were three members of Boss Murong's family. The tricycle was a black car without a license plate, and the driver could not be found. This bizarre tricycle accident case became another nonsensical case.

.

This series of strange things has made Ran Qin's team very anxious.

It wasn't that everything went wrong. Zhong Kui searched for the whereabouts of the baby. The baby's body was found in the trash can. What's strange is that the baby's body was severely decomposed. Except for the face, which was vaguely identifiable, other tissues were rotten.

It has become a pile of rotten meat infested with maggots. A stench floats around, causing groups of blue-headed flies to buzz and swirl on the trash can.

Judging from the degree of decomposition of the baby's body, it seems that it has been dead for a long time. Looking at the baby's appearance, it is indeed very similar to the baby's appearance described by the third leprous cousin, but the facts speak louder than words. The baby's death and the

The time spent alive is extremely inconsistent.

The mystery of the baby confused Zhong Kui. According to San Leizi’s cousin-in-law, San Leizi was the first to come into contact with the baby. After the child’s accident, the baby disappeared, but how did it appear in the trash can?

He told Ran Qin that there must be traces to find the person who lost the baby.

Zhong Kui and Ran Qinbing split into two groups: on the one hand, they were looking for the baby's final destination, and on the other hand, they had to find a way to see the situation at the home of the third leper's cousin-in-law.

The third leper's cousin-in-law never went out to work after his child's accident. He worked at home farming and stayed with his wife who was still sad and the injured child.

When Zhong Kui went to his cousin San Lezi's house, he went back home.

There was an emergency at Wen Gen's family and he had to rush back, so Vanilla naturally had to go with him.

Zhiqing listened to Zhong Kui's account of what happened, and decided to stay with him to look for clues.

The two of them arrived at San Lezi's cousin's husband's house. The cousin looked normal, but the child's behavior became a little dull because of the fright and pain.

Zhong Kui told Zhiqing that the reason why this cousin was okay was because he had given her a copper coin to protect her body in advance. Don't underestimate this small copper coin, it is a treasure passed down by the old Zhan Cao people.

After the hands of tens of thousands of cave cutters, various directions for burying the deceased were determined, integrating the roots of yin and yang into one, it can be said to be a rare treasure to suppress evil.

When he left his cousin's house, he repeatedly told him not to leave his hands with the copper coins, even if he went to bed at night, he should hold them in his palms.

When Zhong Kui arrived at the county town from Huilong Bay, he remembered that before these things happened, San Leizi had collaborated with Boss Murong to hack him.

When he thought of Boss Murong, he thought of the baby still in the trash can.

Boss Murong's home is three blocks away from the dead baby's location and a few meters away from Zhong Kui's home.

Could it be that Boss Murong wanted to do something bad that was harmful to others and not beneficial to himself? Could it be that the baby was still in the trash can? The speculation flashed in his mind, and he immediately went to Ran Qin to ask for a search warrant.

As expected, there were indeed traces of the baby staying in Boss Murong's house. The smell of the baby was very peculiar, stinking and sticky, just like the smell of a rotting corpse.

The baby had been missing for a while, so why did it appear at Boss Murong's house again, and why was it thrown away later?

Ran Qin reminded Zhong Kui with one sentence.

The day that Boss Murong ran away from home was the same day that the three leprous men were found dead.

The truth of the matter seems to be coming to light, but how did the three leprous men find the missing baby?

Following the clues, Zhong Kui heard something from the talkative tenant's aunt. One day, she saw a group of people gathering on the street outside the market. They seemed to be watching something.

Auntie's natural curiosity was attracted by the laughter that the group made from time to time.

She also hurriedly went to join in the fun. Because the aunt was short, she was always isolated from the outside and couldn't see clearly what was going on inside. She couldn't see that she was anxious, and there was nothing she could do about it. She was impatient and had to stand far away.

When you get the chance, you can squeeze in and see what's going on.

But after a while, the crowd started to commotion, and then dispersed. She saw a figure holding a baby flash in front of her eyes, and quickly ran into the crowd. There was a woman behind her crying and saying something, who

snatched her child away.

Zhong Kui stared at the aunt and said, "Didn't you see who was running past you?"

The aunt shook her head firmly and said, "My eyes are so dim that I really didn't see it."

"Okay, thank you." Zhong Kui nodded.

"Have you seen that woman?" Zhiqing next to him listened for a long time and finally said.

"Yeah! From what I saw, that woman looks pretty good."

Zhiqing and Zhong Kui looked at each other and continued: "Do you know that woman?"

"I don't know." The aunt said seriously.

Just when Zhong Kui was about to say something else, a little girl came over, held a handful of wood chips in her hand, looked at the aunt and shouted with a smile: "Grandma..."

"Ha! My granddaughter."

"Go ahead!" Zhong Kui said.

While talking, the girl came over, handed the wooden piece in her hand to the aunt, and said happily: "Grandma will make toothpicks for you."

Come on! The girl's behavior made three people laugh. The piece of wood she held in her hand was used for shaving buttocks. This was mentioned at the beginning of the article.

After the aunt laughed, she looked a little embarrassed. She looked at Zhong Kui and the others sheepishly, took the girl's hand and walked away. As she walked, she asked: "Where did you pick up these scraps?"

"There are a lot of them in public places."

"Throw it away and wait until your parents come back to settle the accounts with you."

Looking at the backs of their grandfather and grandson, Zhong Kui and Zhi Qing burst into laughter.

"Wood chips are considered good. My father used bamboo sticks when I was a child. They scratched people's buttocks and hurt. I tore up the portraits of our ancestors and used them to wipe my buttocks, and my father gave me a scratch." Zhong Kui pursed his lips.

He smiled bitterly. Then he added: "That was the first and last time dad beat me."

"Okay, it's sad to see something and miss someone else!" Zhiqing patted him on the shoulder, and the two of them returned home side by side.

"I think that woman has something to do with the baby." Zhiqing, who sat down on the sofa, expressed his opinion.

"Yes, I think so. I have a hypothesis. Women are also the ones who picked up babies, but San Leizi picked up the baby first. His sister didn't say that after the child's accident, the baby suddenly disappeared. It should have been picked up by that woman.

Then he took it to the street to play, and was seen by the three leprous men again, which led to a dispute and a quarrel in the street."

"I agree, it should be..."
