Probably no one noticed that the civet cat had swam into the river at this time, and was still barking.

Everyone was stunned, and the action of the civet cat surprised us greatly.

"There's something in the river?" Jiu Ye frowned, and then, he got up again, called a few roe deer, and gave me a look when he walked past me.

My mind was blank, and I didn't know what the signal that the Ninth Master gave me meant?

Jiu Ye jumped into the river, and they swam in the direction of the civet cat, and after that, several people disappeared into the water, leaving me and Uncle Mu on the shore.

My curiosity was already heavier, squatting down again, turning on the lamp, shining on the dead body, although the surface of the dead body was bloody, but I found that there was a layer of transparent liquid on it, I subconsciously, touched it with my hand, the liquid was a little sticky, like saliva, I sniffed again, it was a rancid smell of blood, the smell was disgusting.

Well, although I've been in the detective guard for half a year, I've been in contact with a lot of cases, big and small, but it's the first time I've seen suicide by picking up skin and then murder.

I pondered my head, and I wanted to ask Uncle Mu, but when I raised my head, the person who was still squatting on the stone just now had long since disappeared.

"Uncle Mu......" I shouted in a low voice, but no response came.

"Meow—"

Suddenly, a cat's meow came from behind me.

I quickly turned around and looked into the water, "Gollum-" At this point, I saw a bubble emerge from one part of the river, but then another figure emerged from the water.

I leaned over and asked, "Roe deer, why didn't the Ninth Master go ashore?" "There were a few roe deer people who went ashore, but they went to the mouth of the river bank and waited for two minutes, and I didn't see the figure of the ninth master, and I asked because I was worried.

The roe deer gasped, he first glanced at me, then turned his gaze to the corpse, and then the roe deer found something, in fact, the roe deer did not say, and I knew what he was going to ask.

"Inspector Mu, where have you been?" The roe deer asked.

Well, I must have answered truthfully and explained the cause and effect of the matter.

Fortunately, the roe deer believed me, but they didn't doubt me. At this time, the roe deer got up and went into the dense forest, and he took the lamp and looked around, but he returned to see nothing.

"Hurry up..... ..... give me a hand......" suddenly another sound came from under the river.

"Ninth Master?" This is the first guess in my mind. I hurriedly stepped forward, through the white light, I saw a head poked out of the dark river, I saw it, very happy, called the roe deer, swam into the water by himself, several twists and turns, pulled the ninth master ashore.

This is not quite like the style of the ninth master, the ninth master's skills are relatively strong, but when I pulled ashore, I found that the ninth master's leg was seriously injured.

"Ninth Master, what's the matter with your wound?" The roe deer took out the medicine bag, bandaged the wound of the ninth master and asked.

The Ninth Master gasped roughly, looking at him like that, he must have experienced something big just now.

After relieving himself, the ninth master opened his mouth, "This river is very strange, and there seems to be a ghost in it." ”

"What the hell? Is it really a verification of the legend of the river god? "I'm confused.

But at this time, the Ninth Master took out another thing from his chest, and he laid it flat on the rock face. But when I saw it, my eyes froze, "Arms...... Bosom...... The ...... of the table stammered as well.

"You've seen it?" The Ninth Master winked at me, and I nodded my head.

In front of me is a pocket watch, it was the watch I held in the hands of the dead man in Linhai Village at that time, this is a gold-plated pocket watch, the diameter is 15 centimeters, the front of the cover is engraved with a cutting-edge building, I heard the ninth master say, this is more like a building, it is a gold building, the workmanship is extremely fine, on the lower surface of the watch, it is printed with the Swiss "ten" pattern, and then marked with a string of English letters.

Open the lid of the watch, "Tick tock-" There was a crisp sound of the second hand moving, but the sound was more like the sound of the mechanical chain moving in the pocket watch, which made people listen to it crisp and numb.

Inside the cover, there is a circular digital clock structure, but the numbers marked on it are Western characters, black text style, and the surface of it is also covered with a layer of quartz transparent cover, this material cover, no matter how you fall can not be broken.

And according to the direction of the hands, also on the outside of the pocket watch, there is a spiral wheel, which is supposed to adjust the clockwork time.

"Do you see Mingtang?" The Ninth Master asked me.

I just told him that the watch had something to do with my murder.

"Hehe-it seems that this pocket watch is not simple," the ninth master smiled coldly.

"Then the Ninth Master, could it be that this pocket watch has something to do with the stolen clock?" This is just my conjecture.

The ninth master nodded, and put the pocket watch in his pocket, this thing really has to go back and do research again.

And at this time, the civet cat is also gone, it seems that it intends to help us, but not to mention, if there is no help from the civet cat this time, maybe he will be here a long time ago.

"Bury him!" The Ninth Master ordered.

Afterwards, the roe deer and I took shovels and buried the dead bodies in the mud.

After the end, the ninth master gestured to us, and he went directly into the river.

What's going on? Why did you go down the river again? I wondered, I didn't know which one the Ninth Master was playing.

Originally, he refused to leave, but he left me alone, and in this gloomy and terrifying dense forest, from time to time he revealed a gloomy atmosphere.

I'm also out of the way, anyway, it should be right to follow the ninth master.

We touched the river again, but this time, the time was relatively short, and the oxygen equipment we brought had been used up, so we all swam away.

I kept looking up and inhaling, but I could smell the strange water in this place, and it seemed that there was a stench here.

I only know, bypassed a big stone wall, and this stone wall is in the river, swim down more than 20 meters, but downstream, the more resistance and pressure people are subjected to, I almost fell to death below, fortunately, the roe deer pulled me, I rushed out of the water, coughed, the cool breath also spread all over my body, I shivered in my mouth, looked around the river, On the surface of the river, a cloud of mist also appeared, hazy......

"What are you doing here?" The ninth master pulled me back into the water, I left my saliva, the ninth master was really unexpected, and he always did things without the consideration of others, but there was no way, the only way to live now, and even explore the situation of the dead, could only follow the ninth master.
