Song Jiang and the three of them were all stunned when they heard this. They didn't expect that Zheng Shengtao's first question after learning that he was dead was to know how he died? !
"Don't you remember?" Wu Lei said somewhat unexpectedly.
Zheng Shengtao shook his head and said, "I only remember going fishing in the reservoir with my friends... Then, everyone had a good time, and I was also very happy. What happened after that... I don't remember anything."
Although the reality was cruel, Wu Lei was still unwilling to deceive the poor man in front of him. Because he was a forensic doctor by profession, he would never lie about the cause of death, so he said in a deep voice, "You died of drowning... …”
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Zheng Shengtao smiled bitterly and said, "I won the men's 1500-meter freestyle championship when I was in college. Now you tell me... I was drowned?!"
Wu Lei nodded helplessly and said, "That's the fact... As for what happened in the middle, you have to ask yourself."
Zheng Shengtao looked confused after hearing this, and even said at a loss, "But I don't remember anything. I only know that I definitely couldn't have drowned."
Seeing that Zheng Shengtao was so sure, Song Jiang looked at Wu Lei and said, "Is there nothing suspicious about his body?"
Wu Lei thought for a while and said, "Yes...his stomach is full of silt."
"Ah?! You mean he swallowed the mud in the water before he died?" Song Jiang asked in surprise.
Wu Lei nodded and said, "Although it is unreasonable, Zheng Shengtao's stomach is indeed full of silt..."
After hearing this, Song Jiang turned to look at Meng Zhe and said, "Could it be the water ghost looking for a substitute?"
But Meng Zhe shook his head and said, "If it were an ordinary water ghost looking for a substitute, Zheng Shengtao's ghost would not have appeared here. He would have been trapped in the water until a new dead ghost replaced him. But now his ghost is He has been following the corpse, which means that the thing that killed him must not be an ordinary water ghost."
When Song Jiang heard this, he couldn't help but shudder in his heart. Fortunately, he had never been to the reservoir. But the next second, he heard Meng Zhe say to him, "While it's still dark, let's go to the reservoir and take a look first." "
"Is it okay if you don't go?" Song Jiang resisted.
Meng Zhe smiled and said, "No..."
As soon as Wu Lei saw that the two were leaving, he quickly took his coat and said that he would go with them. After all, that was the scene of the crime.
Unexpectedly, Meng Zhe shook his head and said, "You should stay and accompany the only repeat customer in your life. After all, your fate will end after dawn. Maybe we can find other useful clues."
After this incident, Wu Lei was somewhat afraid of Meng Zhe. When he saw that the other party did not agree with him to go with him, he had to look at Zheng Shengtao helplessly and said, "Don't vomit again!"
The reservoir where Zheng Shengtao's accident occurred used to be a hydrological station. It was later abandoned for various reasons and was later privately contracted to raise fish. Unexpectedly, due to the global economic downturn due to the epidemic in the past two years, the aquatic industry was particularly difficult to work in, so the fish boss also He quit before the contract expired, leaving only a deaf-mute uncle to look after the reservoir.
When Song Jiang and Meng Zhe drove there, it was already late at night. Song Jiang complained all the way. After all, no one with a normal mind would wander around in a reservoir where someone had just died at this time...
But Meng Zhe turned a deaf ear to Song Jiang's complaints. After he parked the car, he got out of the car and walked towards the water without looking back. Song Jiang behind him saw this and quickly followed him, because in a place like this... It's safest to stay by Meng Zhe's side.
As soon as the two of them arrived at the edge of the reservoir, a fishy smell instantly penetrated their nostrils. The smell was almost produced by the same manufacturer as the sludge Zheng Shengtao spit out...
"Why is it so fishy here?" Song Jiang asked a little strangely.
Meng Zhe looked around and said, "It seems that the evil spirits here are extremely filthy, and it is definitely not as simple as one or two water ghosts."
After hearing this, Song Jiang looked towards the dark water. Unexpectedly, he suddenly felt Meng Zhe blowing into his left ear, so he said angrily, "Don't make trouble..."
But Meng Zhe's voice came from the right, "What's the fuss about?"
Song Jiang suddenly felt a chill running down his spine. He looked at Meng Zhe with a horrified expression and said, "When did you run to my right?"
Meng Zhe frowned slightly and said, "I've always been on your right side?!"
At this time, Song Jiang secretly looked at the figure on the left with his peripheral vision and said, "Then... who is the person on my left?!"
But in the next second, Song Jiang heard Meng Zhe's voice coming from the left again, "Who are you talking to?!"
Song Jiang was completely frightened now. He didn't dare to look left or right. He could only stare blankly at the dark water in front of him and said in a trembling voice, "Meng Zhe... you bastard." , I couldn’t tell you to come, but you had to come, are you done now?!”
Song Jiang's words also stunned Meng Zhe, because it seemed to him that there was really no one on the left side of Song Jiang, so he slowly came to the left side of Song Jiang, only to find that his left shoulder had become wet at some point. one slice……
When Meng Zhe saw this, he sneered and said, "There are not many evil spirits who dare to make trouble in front of me. I'm going to see what you are today."
At this time, Song Jiang was still looking straight ahead, because before he could tell which one was the real Meng Zhe, the safest way was not to look at anyone... But Meng Zhe on the left didn't seem to think so. He first pulled Song Jiang's ears, and then flicked his earlobes.
"It's over!" Song Jiang felt a pain in his left ear and turned around angrily and said. But then he found that Meng Zhe on the right had disappeared, leaving only Meng Zhe on the left who was flicking his ears hard.
"Just now...there were two of you." Song Jiang said in shock.
Meng Zhe nodded and said, "Well, there was indeed an evil spirit who wanted to confuse you just now. It's a pity that in your consciousness he could only look like me and imitate my voice. As long as you have some brains, you can tell which one is which." Which one is true and which one is false?”
When Song Jiang heard this, he hummed, "Can you do it? I can still be deceived by evil spirits when I'm around you!?"
I thought that Meng Zhe would definitely say that Song Jiang was useless, but he nodded and said, "This is indeed my fault. Your unstable soul is indeed a problem. It seems that it must be solved as soon as possible..."
"What do you mean?" Song Jiang didn't quite understand what Meng Zhe said.
At this time, Meng Zhe walked to the water and squatted down. He gently teased the water with his hand and said, "It means that there is a crack between your body and your soul, and it is easy to be targeted by evil spirits. In the eyes of those things, , you are almost as meaty as Tang Monk!"
