"What do you say now?"

In the inn room, Jiang Ge looked at Ye Xiu and asked.

Ye Xiu replied: "Since this case is also a ground level task, and it is in Dongyang Mansion, it does not conflict with our original plan, then we will take this case as the primary goal first, and if it really can't be completed, we will consider other tasks." ”

"Good. Anyway, most of the ground level tasks in the Demon Suppression Division did not meet our expectations, either it took too long, or the distance was too far, or it was something like an unsolved case, there were few that were really suitable for us, so let's do this task first!" Song Yi nodded.

"What about you?" Ye Xiu looked at Jiang Ge, Mei Qingyu and Shen Fangyuan again.

The three nodded in agreement.

"Well, let's take a look at the dossier first, extract key information, and see if we can find any useful clues to prepare for the next investigation. ”

Ye Xiu distributed the file to the four of them and read it carefully.

Time passed little by little, and after two hours, all five of them had gone through the file in detail from beginning to end.

I have to say that the dossier of the Demon Subjugation Division is very detailed, there are all details, important and unimportant, useful and useless, all of them are recorded and have everything. But this made Ye Xiu suffer them, because it was too detailed, so it looked very troublesome, and after two hours, everyone was dizzy, and there was a feeling of making up the endorsement the day before the exam, with confused eyes and confused minds.

For a moment, there were only nine words in my head: "Where am I, what am I doing?"

"Ahem, have you found any useful information?" asked Ye Xiu, who was dizzy and like a scumbag.

"No, I didn't find anything!" Shen Fangyuan, the second scumbag, shook his head, looking confused.

Song Yi, the third scholar, rubbed his head: "The deceased recorded in this file has no connection; the places of death are also different, covering the entire prefecture and county, without any rules; and the information obtained by the Demon Suppression Division from the investigation and evidence collection does not have any useful information." I didn't find anything. ”

The three of them looked at each other, all a little depressed, this is simply more difficult than the exam review, the exam review is good and there are still key points to see, but it can be memorized, this is completely a pot of porridge, and if you want to pick rice from the millet porridge, it is simply a matter of life.

Ye Xiu is better, he is a history student, and he deals with boring documents all day long, so although he didn't find any useful information, his mental state is not bad.

But Song Yi and Shen Fangyuan both drooped their heads now, with expressions as if they were about to swallow dung and commit suicide.

"Brother Jiang, Sister Qingyu, have you found anything?" Ye Xiu finally pinned his hopes on Jiang Ge and Mei Qingyu, although he didn't have much hope.

"There was a little discovery. Jiang Ge said with a smile.

"Well, if you don't...... Uh, you said yes, great, what did you find?" Ye Xiu's eyes lit up and he said excitedly.

Jiang Ge didn't sell it, and said directly: "There is a small discovery, you can help refer to it." ”

"I carefully read the file from beginning to end, although as Song Yi said, there is no connection between these deceased, and the places of death are all over the counties and counties of Dongyang Prefecture, and the locations are huge and complex. ”

"But if you combine the number of dead with the place of death, you can find a different story. You see, there are eight counties and sixteen counties in Dongyang Province, and although there are deaths in each county, the number of deaths varies from county to county. Among them, Ganquan County had the largest number of deaths, with 105 deaths, followed by Chenliu County with 83 people, Yuyang County with 78 deaths, Juyan County with 34 deaths, and Fanglan County with 32 deaths...... The smallest number of people is Anming County, with only one person. ”

"So, what did you find?"

Shen Fangyuan and Song Yi were silent, Ye Xiu thought for a moment, his eyes lit up, and he said happily: "I understand." ”

"These people who died were all centered in Ganquan County and spread around, and the closer they got to Ganquan County, the more they died, and the farther away from Ganquan County, the fewer they died. ”

Ye Xiu pointed to a map of the counties of Dongyangfu brought out from the Demon Subduing Division, and said: "You see, Ganquan County is the center, so the number of deaths is the largest; Chenliu and Yuyang counties are adjacent to or close to Ganquan County, so the number of deaths is second; while Juyan, Fanglan and other counties are far away from Ganquan County, so the number of deaths is even less; while counties such as Anming County are far from Ganquan County, and the transportation is inconvenient, so the number of deaths is the least, only one." ”

Hearing this, Shen Fangyuan and Song Yi's eyes lit up.

"Yes, that's exactly the case!" Jiang Ge nodded: "So, this Ganquan County is very suspicious." ”

Mei Qingyu suddenly spoke: "There is indeed a problem in Ganquan County. Judging from the time of death of the deceased, the first batch of deceased people were in Ganquan County, followed by other counties, combined with Ye Xiu's speculation and Senior Brother Jiang's speculation, then it is certain that there is a major problem in this Ganquan County, and it is very likely that the truth of the case is hidden. ”

"Haha, great, Sister Qingyu, you are really ice and snow smart!" Ye Xiu praised.

"Less sycophancy. Mei Qingyu scolded lightly, and still said coldly: "Since we have a clue, without further ado, let's hurry up!"

"Okay!" Ye Xiu and the others responded excitedly.

This clue, although it is just a guess, is undoubtedly a direction for Ye Xiu and the others who are confused, no matter whether this direction is right or wrong, but it is better than nothing.

Therefore, without any hesitation, several people packed their bags and went straight to Ganquan County.

……

Ganquan County is located in the southeast of Dongyang Mansion, and the Donghua River surrounds the city, so Ye Xiu and the others directly hired a passenger boat and spent about four hours to rush to Ganquan County.

After arriving in Ganquan County, Ye Xiu and the others did not rest, and went directly to the Ganquan County County Ya to extract information about the deceased in Ganquan County in the "mysterious death case", and then the five people were separated, planning to visit the dead homes of survivors first to see if they could ask any clues.

Yes, there are survivors in this case, not all the people who died mysteriously are also dead, but there are some survivors, and there are quite a few survivors, which makes the whole incident even more confusing.

Although the people of the Demon Subduing Division had asked and investigated these people before, most of them had no gains, but Ye Xiu and the others still planned to visit them in person, firstly, because they were afraid that there would be any omissions on the part of the personnel of the previous Demon Subduing Division, and secondly, since they had already determined that there was a problem in Ganquan County, or that it was the center of the whole incident, it was necessary to do so.

Only in this way can we find out the root cause of the whole thing.
