36. Ambush it(1/2)
Strong men lead the way.
Yunsong hurried to a large courtyard in the southwest of the town.
From a distance, the yard looks huge.
There are large trees and a small pond in front of the door.
Since ancient times, trees and ponds have been a unique sight at the doorsteps of wealthy families.
One can protect wealth, and the other can lead Feng Shui.
When you get closer, you can see that the yard is very dilapidated, and even the pond has dried up. Although there are many trees, they grow in disorder. When the wind blows, the branches and leaves sway randomly, giving it a desolate atmosphere.
When we walked to the entrance of the compound, the atmosphere changed. It was much more lively because there were dozens of people gathered outside the door.
Either with a fearful look on his face, or a gloomy look on his face.
Seeing the two people arriving, these people quickly made way and left the door.
Yun Song felt like a person for the first time.
The last time he felt like this was when his company had a team building event and everyone was so hungry. When he came out of the bathroom, there were so many people waiting for him eagerly.
There are still people in the courtyard, and there are quite a few of them, probably twenty or thirty.
These people were far away from each other in the northwest corner of the yard. There was a water tank in the northwest corner, and Wang Meng drowned in it.
The water tank is very ordinary. It is a large black pottery water tank used for drinking water at home. It is about half a person tall and half a person long in diameter. It is round and round.
It is strange that such a water tank can drown people.
But something strange happened.
The water tank was originally used for fish farming, and there were several crucian carp, carp and the like in it.
At this time, besides the fish, there was a young man inside.
The young man squatted in the water tank with his hands and knees. He raised his head and face with a sad expression on his face.
The water in the tank is clear, and under the sunlight, the young man's face and expression are extremely clear.
Yun Song felt that he was somewhat familiar.
After thinking for a moment, he remembered where the familiarity came from.
last night!
Last night, Dagouzi looked back at a thin young man standing at the edge of the river and smiled strangely.
That young man is Wang Meng!
Several fish were swimming slowly in the water tank, and their freshness was in sharp contrast to the dead silence of the young man.
Gradually, the ripples caused by the swimming fish made the young man's face become a little distorted.
In this way, the young man's crying appearance became even weirder.
A few days ago, when Yun Song was still on the mountain, the sight of a corpse would have frightened Yun Song into skipping a meal.
But after coming down the mountain, he encountered ghosts and saw dead people, and now he is immune to fear of corpses.
Others were not immune. They asked nervously or fearfully: "Real person, is it the water ghost who kills people?"
Yunsong didn't answer.
He looked at the crowd, only to see a bunch of people with their necks stretched out very long, like many ducks being held up by invisible hands.
A bunch of spectators!
He felt very unhappy and said: "Why are there so many people watching the fun? If there is anything interesting to see, please leave quickly and get out of here."
Wang Lin kicked his leather boots and walked out of the crowd. He said, "No, Master, these people in the courtyard are all playing money with Wang Meng today."
"When I learned that Wang Meng had drowned, I asked my brothers to block them in. Who knows if they were related to Wang Meng's death, right?"
Yun Song looked at him in surprise, what's growing in your head, kid? The depth and density of the sulci in your cerebral cortex are probably not as deep as the wrinkles on your cowhide, right?
Wang Lin continued to demonstrate his case analysis skills: "Real person, these people say that Wang Meng was drowned by a water ghost. In fact, who knows if there is any hidden secret?"
"First of all, we can't rule out that someone took advantage of the chaotic situation when the water ghost harmed people to take revenge and kill people, right?"
There is nothing wrong with this statement in itself.
But now Wang Meng, with a strange crying look on his face, died holding his knees in a water tank that was probably only as high as his waist. Are you telling me that he was murdered?
Yun Song felt that the good public security in the old town was due to the blessings of the obedient people and ancestors in the town.
He said: "Don't worry, Wang Meng was killed by the water ghost."
"Please tell Xiaodao clearly what happened today. What happened in the yard? Is this place a private casino?"
He knew that in order to prevent the authorities from taking advantage of them, some private casinos and casinos would be hidden in private houses.
But that was in an indifferent city, where neighbors didn't care about each other.
This is not possible in the countryside. People in the countryside know each other well, and casinos and the like cannot be hidden in private houses.
Wang Lin explained to him that this place was a temporary casino set up by the Gou family.
The Goujia Casino was originally a building, but some time ago the money-seeking people in the building killed the previous owner, Gou, so the small building was temporarily closed and the casino was temporarily moved to this place.
This place is an abandoned courtyard in the old town. It used to belong to a wealthy family in the town, but was later stolen by the Gou family.
As a result, I don’t know why the Gou family didn’t make use of this compound, but left it abandoned.
Wang Lin introduced to Yun Song that the compound was very large.
They are currently in the front yard, and there is also a backyard. The backyard is several times the size of the front yard, but it has been abandoned for many years, and few people usually set foot there.
In the past few days, the front yard has been turned into a casino, and there is a group of gamblers chatting and drinking here every day.
Wang Meng is one of them.
Today he came to gamble as usual. He came in the morning. He didn't eat at noon and played until the afternoon. Everything was normal.
Then he suddenly said he wanted to drink water and wanted to go out to drink water, and then he entered the water tank!
At that time, there were several people enjoying the shade in the yard. When they saw this scene, they realized something was wrong and quickly pulled him outside.
As a result, none of them could pull Wang Meng out with all their strength. On the contrary, Wang Meng slowly submerged into the water with a strange smile on his face. After submerging in the water, he suddenly changed to a look of mourning...
After hearing this, Yun Song asked: "Who came to pull him after he entered the water tank?"
A young man stood up and pointed to his side and said: "It was just a few of us at first, but then we shouted a few times and everyone in the place came."
Yun Song asked again: "When you pulled him, did you feel that he was cold?"
"Yes, it is indeed very cold!" The young man nodded hurriedly.
This answer reminded Yun Song of Xun Zhenzi's guess.
The young man continued: "At that time, Wang Meng was colder than the dead, but he was still alive. He laughed and drowned himself while laughing."

Yunsong realized that this 'smile' was the key.
He murmured: "Big Gouzi said that Er Gouzi smiled at him the day before yesterday, and that Big Gouzi died yesterday."
"Yesterday the big dog smiled at Wang Meng, and today Wang Meng died."
Everyone immediately reacted and shouted: "The water ghost's smile is a life-threatening smile!"
"Whoever it smiles at, it is ready to kill!"
Yun Song shouted and asked: "Fusheng Supreme Heavenly Lord, all donors, Wang Meng showed a strange smile before he died - then who did he show this smile to?"
Everyone looked at each other in panic. A white, fat middle-aged man smelling of medicine pointed at the young man who spoke first and said, "The one who smiled at him, at A Guang! I remember, it was the one who smiled at A Guang!"
A look of horror appeared on the young man's face. He shouted: "Don't talk nonsense about the medicine bag! It's not directed at me, no, it's directed at me!"
The fat middle-aged man said: "He just smiled at you. I was right next to you and could see clearly. You must have seen it too. He just smiled at you!"
Another young man said hesitantly: "Ah Guang, I seem to have seen Mengzi smiling at you when he was dying."
The person next to him immediately distanced himself from A Guang.
Everyone knows that being laughed at by a water ghost is not a good thing.
Aguang stood there alone, and suddenly the grievance came to his heart, and he couldn't help but burst into tears.
Yun Song pressed his shoulders and shouted: "Don't cry, why are you crying? Look at your potential!"
"When a water ghost smiles at people, it's just calling names. It's just naming the next person to harm. It naturally has to come to the door if it wants to harm people."
"So let's be prepared to ambush it. We can't be afraid of this ghost. We don't have to be afraid of this ghost. It's dead!"
Aguang choked and asked: "Zhenren, can you beat it?"
Yun Song smiled proudly and said, "You can't kill it!"
This is what he says from his heart, and it doesn’t matter how other people interpret it.
He then gave an order to Wang Lin: "Control everyone present immediately. We are the team ambushing the water ghosts."
