Chapter 403: Directions

"Oh, well, then you'll talk if you're tired." I scoffed.

Xue Xiaxia didn't speak, and walked straight ahead.

Huangqian County is indeed quite small, and it took us two hours to basically walk through the city, and after asking a few passers-by, we found the mother well near the suburbs.

The area is a somewhat dilapidated residential area, with loess covered in sky, many empty houses, a few shops with their doors open, and old counters selling very few goods, giving it a very depressed feel.

The mother well is just behind the left side of a residential building, and there are a lot of debris piled up around it, and there is a small piece of private land, and the surrounding environment looks chaotic.

The mother well is the same as an ordinary well, but two words are engraved on the body of the well, "mother well", which seems very historical.

"Is that what it looks like?" Xue Xiaxia glanced at me with some surprise.

I pulled the corners of my mouth helplessly, "I'm also disappointed, I thought it would be very solemn, but I didn't expect it to be so ordinary, and even a little dirty." ”

I don't exaggerate when I say "dirty", there is a thick layer of dust on the mother well, and there are some garbage thrown by passers-by, plastic bags, skewers, etc., and you won't find such a well here if you don't pay attention.

When we walked to the mother well, I leaned over to look inside the well, and I almost fainted with a damp and fishy smell.

Xue Xiaxia couldn't help but cover her mouth and nose, frowning and looking at me, as if it was me who stinked.

I took a few steps back, fanned the wind with my right hand, and exhaled deeply, "There is nothing special about this well, except that it stinks. ”

Xue Xiaxia couldn't help but smile, looking a lot gentler.

"But to confirm it, I'll go down and find out."

"You want to go down?" Xue Xiaxia looked at me in surprise, "It's better to ask the surrounding residents first, how deep this well is, borrow a ladder or something, so that it is safe."

I smiled and took off my coat, came down and handed it to her, "No, I'll be up soon." ”

"Huh?" Xue Xiaxia took my coat and looked at me with wide eyes.

I took out a piece of green talisman paper from my pocket, drew a talisman in the air and threw it into the well, a puff of white smoke rising all around me.

I closed my eyes, and when I opened them a few seconds, I had gone down into the well.

"I'll go!" I pinched my nose and almost threw up.

The smell of fish mixed with the smell of dampness and the strange stench was so sour that it was too sour.

I took out my phone and looked at the well.

The well water must have been dry for many years, the well was not large, and my feet were full of white bones, dirt, and some rotting impurities, which looked disgusting.

Standing on the top of the well, I have already determined that there is nothing special about this well, and I came down just to have an explanation with Xue Xiaxia.

I put away my phone, pinched up a piece of purple rune paper and pasted it on the wall of the well, folded my hands and closed my eyes and recited the incantation, silently feeling the breath in the well.

After a minute, I slowly opened my eyes and shrugged my shoulders, it was indeed fine, wasting my two runes in vain.

When I went back to it, Xue Xiaxia saw that my face turned pale with fright, and her lips trembled slightly, but she still hugged my coat tightly, lest it fall to the ground and get dirty.

"How's it going, are you alright, what's next?" Xue Xiaxia asked nervously.

I clapped my hands, took my coat and put it on, I noticed just now, she asked me about my situation first, and then asked me about the situation under the well, and it seemed that she was really concerned about me.

"There's nothing special down there except for a few bones......"

"Bones?" Xue Xiaxia was shocked.

"Ahem, it's the bones of the suckling pig, the suckling pig that the local residents threw down before, it's not the bones of a monster."

Hearing my explanation, Xue Xiaxia patted his chest and said with some embarrassment, "That's good, I'm afraid there will be other discoveries." ”

I put my hands in my pockets and shook my head coolly, "You can go, this mother well is fine." ”

Xue Xiaxia looked puzzled, but still obediently followed me and left.

We found a place to eat and rest, and it was getting late, so we went back to the hotel and drove the car, which I measured with my compass and drove all the way west.

I explained to Xue Xiaxia that because the yin qi in the west is relatively heavy, looking at the feng shui pattern of the entire county in Huangqian County, there is a river in the west and the mountains are complicated, so we should pay special attention to the situation in the west.

I was responsible for calculating the direction all the way and sensing the surrounding breath, and Xue Xiaxia became my full-time driver without complaint.

Well, I can also show off to others after I go back, I Zhang once asked a gold medal female lawyer in Qiu Ying City to drive a car for me, and it was willingly and free.

A little over an hour later, we returned to the hostel.

I sat at the table and sketched out the route of our itinerary for today, basically all over Huangqian County, and there was no weird place at all.

Xue Xiaxia seemed to be very unsteady in her heart, and sat next to her without saying a word, but I could feel that her breathing was very unnatural.

I put down my pen and turned my face to look at her, and said with a smile, "Thank you Lawyer Xue, we can go back tomorrow, it shouldn't delay your trial, right?" ”

Xue Xiaxia hurriedly shook her head, "Of course not, the court will only be held the morning after tomorrow...... So, is there really no need to investigate here? ”

I frowned, and said a little unhappily, "Lawyer Xue, if you think you still need to start the investigation, then I will go again tomorrow according to your arrangement." ”

"Of course not, don't get me wrong." Xue Xiaxia waved her hand and explained with some embarrassment, "These are your professional matters, I don't understand, I'm not qualified to question them, I just feel a little disappointed, I originally thought that the clue I provided to you would be useful." ”

It turned out that she was because of this guilt, and I felt warm and ashamed in my heart.

"Ah, Lawyer Xue, don't say that, the investigation of the case is very complicated, I am very grateful for you to provide clues, and you took the initiative to come with me, I am really grateful, as for the result, it is not important, at least we take this process seriously."

Xue Xiaxia's face softened a lot, "Okay, then we'll go back tomorrow, and I'll tell you when I have a definite clue." ”

Xue Xiaxia deliberately added an "exact" in front of the clue, I almost burst out laughing, it seems that Lawyer Xue is particularly guilty of his "imprudent" and "impulsive", and people have weaknesses.

The next morning, we went back.

This time I insisted on driving, I originally thought that Xue Xiaxia would take a nap halfway, but I didn't expect that I was using a tablet to work all the way, and I was completely a workaholic.

I secretly took a breath, such a woman has no mood at all, who will she marry in the future, that buddy is really married to a robot, it's so miserable.

When we arrived in Qiuying City, we had a simple meal and went our separate ways.

I went to the hotel to discuss with Zhao Heizi, and tonight I will lock the general direction of the different attack, and I can't delay any longer.

Knowing that there was no gain at all from going to Huangqian County, Zhao Heizi also showed a disappointed expression, shook his head and said, "This dream is really complicated, it seems that it is not so easy to crack, your previous judgment was right." ”

I pinched my chin and smiled, "Don't say it, this trip is still very rewarding." ”

"What's the catch?" Zhao Heizi asked suspiciously.

I approached him and said mysteriously, "Lawyer Xue was slapped in the face this time, and she won't be so domineering in the future." ”

Zhao Heizi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled speechlessly, "So that's the case, but it's a little ungentlemanly for you to think like this, and Lawyer Xue is also kind." ”

I walked over to lean on the sofa and said disdainfully, "Cut, good intentions are good intentions, but there is really no need to talk so much, I don't listen to other people's opinions and suggestions at all, I don't like arrogant people all the time." ”

Zhao Heizi shook his head helplessly, "I don't understand you." ”

"Don't understand, let's just plan tonight's action now, you can drive, so you can be faster, and we can discuss it at any time."

Zhao Heizi nodded, "Okay, what else do I need to do, you can tell me." ”

I took out the map of Qiu Ying City and analyzed it with Zhao Heizi.

At eight o'clock in the evening, we set off.

I used the Soul Chaser Charm and the compass to determine the direction all the way, and began to lock in to the northeast, northwest, and north and south.

In the geographical common sense of human beings, the direction of north and south does not exist, but the north and south as defined by our exorcists are the axis between south and north, which is a very critical point, and the yin energy and magnetic field are very heavy, and demons are particularly good at using this axis.

Three hours later, we were back at the hotel.

I drank half a glass of hot water, barely dispelled a trace of exhaustion, and unfolded the densely marked map.

Through assays tonight, we have finally identified three areas as problematic.

Area A, this area has schools, hospitals, and squares, and it is very difficult to control once something happens; Area A is a commercial area, and it is difficult to conduct a direct investigation due to the large number of people and the situation is also complicated. On the other hand, Zone C is located on the outskirts of the city, with a river, a few large factories, and an industrial area on the verge of closure.

Zhao Heizi leaned over and looked at the map, and said in a deep voice, "The result of your measurement tonight is that Area A has the heaviest yin qi relative to the other two places, but it is difficult to go deep here, and it is difficult to investigate, after all, the interests of many businesses are involved, and the relationship is difficult to dredge." ”

"Yes, so I still need you to match, you are familiar with the businessmen in Qiu Ying City, introduce them to me, so it will be easier for me to investigate." I patted him on the shoulder, "I'm sorry, but this thankless task is always left to you." ”

Zhao Heizi smiled innocently, "This is what I'm responsible for, I can't help with the rest, you don't have to be polite to me." ”

"I still have to tell you that it's hard, I don't know how to deal with these people at all...... Oops! I exclaimed and slapped my head hard.
