The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 41 Fourth Master Gu

"Huh, come on!" Wang Zikai rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the door, "Let's see if I don't beat it to death!"

"Wait a minute..." Gao Yang grabbed Wang Zikai and covered his mouth.

Fat Jun didn't dare to speak and hurriedly hid behind Qing Ling. With Officer Huang's gesture, everyone immediately ambush on both sides of the door and pressed their bodies against the wall.

Officer Huang took out his pistol, pointed it at the door, and shouted: "Who?"

"I asked why there is light in this room. It turned out to be Officer Huang." An old man's voice came from outside the house.

Gao Yang recognized it and it was the old man who drove the geese during the day. He winked at Officer Huang to indicate safety.Officer Huang stuffed the gun back into his waist and went to open the door.

The man standing outside the door was indeed an old man who herded geese during the day. People in the village called him Fourth Master Gu.Fourth Master Gu held a pipe in his dry mouth, and smiled with wrinkles on his face: "Hey, you guys are all here, how about investigating the case?"

Officer Huang smiled half-heartedly, "Yes, I'm afraid I'll miss any clues, so I'll check again."

"It's really hard for you to be police officers. You have to work overtime so late." The old man took out his pipe and scratched his back. "I just saw the lights on in the house and thought I saw a ghost."

"Then you still dare to come and knock on the door, aren't you afraid of ghosts?" Wang Zikai said something rude, but his words were a bit rude, and Gao Yang was about to ask.

"Haha," the old man smiled broadly, "I'm not afraid. I have a good relationship with Huazi's family, and they won't harm me even if they act like ghosts."

"That's it." Officer Huang concentrated his attention, "Fourth Master Gu, why don't you tell me about Huazi's family?"

"Okay, but this is inconvenient. My home is over there. Why don't you come and sit at my house?" Fourth Master Gu said.

"excuse me."

……

Five minutes later, the five people arrived at Fourth Master Gu’s house. Fourth Master Gu lived alone. His earthen house was much smaller than that of Hua Zi’s family. It was backed by a mountain and surrounded by a large yard. There were geese behind it, and they quacked from time to time. shouted.

Everyone sat down around the table. Fourth Master Gu made tea, but no one drank it.

Fourth Master Gu didn't care. He smoked and talked nonchalantly: "Hua Zi's father is very honest and hard-working. Unfortunately, he stutters. No one wants him. He only got a wife when he was almost forty. She is from the next village." , my legs and feet are a little disabled, but everything else is fine.”

"The two got married and gave birth to three fat boys. His mother left a few years after giving birth to the third child. His father could not support his three sons by farming, so he had to go out to work and send money back every year. Entrusted to me to take care of Hua Zi and his two younger brothers, they come to my house for meals every three days. I raise them all as my grandsons..."

After several people listened silently, Officer Huang asked: "Master Gu, do you think the murderer might be a villager?"

Fourth Master Gu was stunned and smiled meaningfully, "Officer Huang, I am not legally responsible for what I said, right? I don't understand the law..."

"No, it's just chatting. Say what you know."

Fourth Master Gu nodded, "Then I'll tell you. I think the murderer must be someone from our village."

"why?"

"Several houses in the village have dogs. Not to mention dogs, let's just talk about the dozens of geese I have. When strangers pass by the door of the house, they will quack a few times."

"Huazi's family was dismembered and the bodies were scattered everywhere. If they were from other villages, it would be impossible not to alert the dogs." Gao Yang said.

"Yes." Fourth Master Gu glanced at Gao Yang and said, "Young man, you have a bright mind." "So," Officer Huang asked further, "Who in the village do you think has a motive for committing the crime?"

"I really don't know about this." Fourth Master Gu took a sip of tea, "That family is famous for their honesty, and their three children are also very sensible. I have never seen them get in a hurry with anyone, and they have brought their whole family down. Cutting the body into pieces, what a great hatred."

"Is it possible that the problem lies with the married wife?" Officer Huang changed the subject.

"Hmm..." Fourth Master Gu fell into deep thought, "I think it's possible that Hua Zi's wife's head hasn't been found yet? Maybe he went there for his wife, and his wife happened to be visiting that day. How could this happen? skillful?"

"Have you seen the bride?" Officer Huang asked.

"She was brought in in a big sedan. I took a look when I got off the sedan. Oh, she is a beauty."

Fourth Master Gu glanced at Qing Ling and said, "Just like you, she is as graceful and beautiful as ever, with jet-black hair, just like the Seven Fairies descending to earth... Everyone was extremely envious, thinking that Hua Zi had to have accomplished so many merits in his previous life. What a blessing.”

"I know!" Wang Zikai slapped the table, and everyone was startled: "Everyone, have you seen "Third Grade Sesame Official"?"

"I've seen it." Fat Jun said weakly: "You want to say... that Chang Wei did it?"

"That's right! Some pervert in the village must have taken advantage of the situation and got the bride's idea. He went to work as a flower-picking robber in the middle of the night. However, when he was exposed, he killed their whole family in a fit of rage..."

"There's no need to dismember the body." Fatty Jun muttered.

"Humph! Little brother, you don't understand this. Let me analyze it for you!" Wang Zikai touched his chin, pretending to be mysterious. Gao Yang felt that the BGM of "Detective Ke" was going to sound in the next second.

"This is called going against the grain! Who would have thought that just to rob a woman, he would kill a whole family and cut their bodies into pieces? The police would not think about this. Isn't this a perfect way to clear away the charges? !”

Gao Yang was stunned, and actually felt that Wang Zikai's nonsense had some truth to it.But if you think about it carefully, it doesn't hold up at all: just because the sperm got into the brain, the whole family was cut into pieces. The cost of committing the crime was too high, and judging from the Huazi family, there were no traces of fighting or resistance at all. It happened in the yard.

Fat Jun thought for a long time and shook his head, "Brother Kai, I still feel something is wrong... If you were that pervert, would you do such a thing?"

"You are a pervert! Your whole family is a pervert!" Wang Zikai was upset, "Can the brain circuitry of a pervert be the same as that of ordinary people?"

"Brother Kai, your brain circuit is quite strange. You don't know it. I think the pervert certainly doesn't..."

"What did you say, fat man? Say it again if you dare!"

"I'm fat, but don't curse me to death. It's so unlucky at night..."

The two idiots started bickering, and Gao Yang's brain began to hurt again.Suddenly, he noticed that Officer Huang and Qing Ling looked very ugly, with cold murderous intent flashing in their eyes, and they stared at Fourth Master Gu across the table.

Gao Yang glanced sideways slightly, feeling instantly horrified!
Fourth Master Gu was drinking tea with a normal expression, but translucent scaly horns were quietly growing on his arms. The rough and wrinkled back of his hands was gradually turning into the texture of lizard skin, and the texture became slippery. His fingernails also climbed up until they turned into two centimeters of gray-brown claws.

Then came Fourth Master Gu's eyes. The whites of his eyes gradually turned into yellow with tiny streaks. The black eyeballs were squeezed from both sides by some invisible force and turned into a long and narrow black slit. Human eyeballs changed in a few seconds. The eyeballs of an adult lizard are like two cold and fine glass beads.

At this moment, Fourth Master Gu's body was partially "turning into an animal" in front of four awakened people and a lost beast.

But Fourth Master Gu did not launch an attack. He just sat there, drinking tea leisurely.
