Metaphysics Live Room: The host is the contract husband

"Not yet. Brother, why are you fishing alone without your family?"

"Oh, my wife is tired of me fishing and doesn't want to come out at all. My daughter has to go to cram school and I don't have time either."

Su Chen noticed the fishing rod moving and quickly stood up to reel in the line.

When he saw the thing coming out of the water, a smile froze on his face. He looked at the human skeleton hanging on the fishhook in disbelief.

The eldest brother took a quick look and never thought it was human bones. He was still laughing: "You are so lucky, young man, you can actually catch a human body model. It's really hilarious."

“…It’s not a mannequin, it’s real human bones.”

"Huh? Stop kidding, young man. I come here often, but I've never heard of anything happening. Where did these human bones come from? It could only be a mannequin."

Seeing that he had a serious expression and was staring at the fishing rod, the eldest brother felt inexplicably uneasy and couldn't help swallowing.

"Hey young man, what's your profession? How could you tell at a glance that these were... human bones? You're not a police officer, are you? Don't scare me, I have a weak heart."

Su Chen didn't say anything. He reeled in the line and fished up the human bones. Looking at the bloodstained bones, it was obvious that the person had died not long ago, and there were signs of being gnawed.

He took out his cell phone, took a photo, and sent it directly to Xing Fei.

"Officer, I just fished up a body. The bite marks on it are very strange. I'm going to call the local police. Or would you please come and take a look?"

Xing Fei was in a meeting when he felt his phone vibrate. He put it under the table and took a peek at it. He was stunned.

Fishing, fishing... corpses?

Master Su's hobby is really unique. He goes fishing for corpses when he has nothing to do. Wait, what do the bite marks mean? Could it be from some wild beast?

[Master Su, why are you fishing for corpses?]

[No, I was out fishing with my wife. Who knew she caught some fish? I was just unlucky and ended up catching fresh bones. The blood was still red when she died.]

[… Let me sort this out for a minute. You went fishing with your wife today and accidentally caught some dead bodies. Is that what you mean?]

[Yeah, is there anything difficult to understand? ]

[Hoohoo, no, I'm going to check it out. Things might be a bit complicated. We were talking about this at the meeting today. There have been several similar incidents, all around here.]

After replying to the message, Su Chen extended his hand: "Leader, I have a situation to report. Master Su found another corpse that was mauled to death today."

"Here's a photo. Look at it. It's exactly the same as in the recent cases. The bite marks are the same."

"It's indeed a match. Have the technical department figured out what the bite marks are? They're following the clues from the bite marks."

The person from the technical department spoke with a strange look on his face.

"Boss, after testing, we found that the bite marks were from... human teeth. We also found human saliva and fish scales."

When these words were spoken, everyone was a little confused.

"What do you mean? You're saying this body was gnawed by someone, and you also found fish scales. How can these two things be put together? Is there some necessary connection?"

Someone whispered, "It can't be a mutation caused by nuclear pollution. How can a human bite a human, and how can a fish have such large scales? It's unbelievable."

Lin Er muttered, turned his head and looked over. He met the gazes that were all looking at him, and was a little puzzled: "Why are you all looking at me like that? It's not like I bit it."

"...!!"

Xing Fei looked at this fool and said unhappily, "Be quiet, stop talking nonsense and focus on evidence. What mutation? Where did the mutation come from?"

"Um, I just said it casually. Then let's go and see it sometime."

After the meeting, Xing Fei took the two of them to the suburban reservoir.

When they arrived, Su Chen was waiting at the farmhouse. He waved to the people who came and said, "Criminal officer, you are here. Do you want to go and see the bones first, or have lunch first?"

"...Leave someone to guard the corpse and then eat."

"Okay, I'll go tell my wife. Please wait a minute."

Beside the reservoir, a bloody corpse was lying quietly on the ground, its empty eye sockets looking somewhat creepy.
