"The corpse is not far ahead," Director Zhang said, pointing to the area ahead that was cordoned off by a group of policemen, to Master and me. In addition to the police blocking the scene in front, there are also many ordinary people around the scene of the crime watching the excitement, and even people who have a lot of things to do take out their mobile phones to record the video.

The corpse in the center of the scene was covered with a white cloth, and Director Zhang wore a pair of white rubber gloves and stepped forward to remove the white cloth covering the corpse.

"The time when the body was found was half past one this afternoon, after forensic identification, the deceased was a man, his identity is unknown, he was about forty years old, he drowned, the time of death should be three months ago, this body was found by the surrounding people after the river thawed, floated out of the water and was found by the surrounding people, because the body was frozen by the river before, so the degree of decay of the corpse was not very large, only a little swollen" Director Zhang pointed to the male corpse on the ground and said to me and Master.

Director Zhang pointed to the corpse, wearing a blue middle school sportswear, and holding an embroidered shoe tightly in his right hand, this person was none other than the sloppy man I saw in the antique shop to sell embroidered shoes to Lao Meng.

"No, we saw him at noon," I said, pointing to the corpse on the ground and speaking to Director Zhang.

"Little brother, you should have seen the wrong person, this person has been dead for more than three months, how could you have seen him at noon" Director Zhang didn't believe what I said at all.

"My apprentice is right, we did see him at noon," the master followed along.

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, I have been a forensic doctor for more than 20 years, I will not look away, even if he does not die in three months, he will not die in one or two hours, if he dies in these two hours, his body will not appear swollen" Forensic Doctor Lu pointed to the corpse on the ground and said to Director Zhang, me and my master.

"Don't forget, there are many things in this world that cannot be explained by science," Forensic Doctor Lu obediently closed his mouth when Master said this.

"Lao Jiang, you said you saw him at noon, so what the hell is going on," Director Zhang asked my master with a confused expression.

"Let my apprentice explain this matter to you," the master said, pointing to me standing on the side and saying to Director Zhang.

"Here's the thing, at noon today, Master and I went to an antique shop in the city called Gufang Zhai to shop for things after dinner...... "I told Director Zhang the ins and outs of the matter, and after Forensic Doctor Lu heard my story, he still couldn't believe it.

"Xiao Luo, you go to the neighborhood called Gufang Zhai and see if there is any video that can be called up," Director Zhang listened to my narration, and he turned to a young policeman behind him and ordered.

"Okay, Director Zhang, I'll go visit and have a look," the policeman named Xiao Luo replied happily, and drove in the direction of the city.

"Lao Lu, you stay here to deal with the body, and I'll go back to the bureau first," Director Zhang turned around and said to the forensic doctor Lao Lu.

"Okay, Director Zhang," Forensic Doctor Lu replied to Director Zhang.

"Lao Jiang, please come back to the bureau with me," Director Zhang turned around and said to my master after giving instructions to Forensic Doctor Lu.

"Well, let's go," Master nodded and replied to Director Zhang.

Sitting in Director Zhang's car, I kept thinking about what happened today, and when I thought of the female ghost wearing a red phoenix crown, I couldn't help but shudder.

Not long after returning to Director Zhang's office, the young policeman named Xiao Luo pushed the door through the outside panting and depressed.

"Director Zhang, there is a clue," Xiao Luo pointed to the USB flash drive in his hand and said to Director Zhang.

"Bring it quickly, I'll take a look," Director Zhang said to Xiao Luo impatiently.

"En" Xiao Luo answered, walked to Director Zhang's side, and inserted the USB flash drive in his hand into the USB port of Director Zhang's computer.

Master and I stood up together and walked to Director Chang's side, the four of us gathered at the door of the computer to watch the surveillance video from Xiao Luo, in the video we saw the man in the blue tracksuit, followed by a woman in a red phoenix crown and a veil behind it, when the man in the blue sportswear walked into the Gufangzhai antique store, the woman in the red phoenix crown and the curtain stood at the door of the antique store and waited for the man in the blue sportswear to appear. When the man in the blue tracksuit walked out of the antique store, the woman in the phoenix crown quickly followed behind the man in the blue tracksuit.

"Director Zhang, this video is a little weird, why does this woman look like she is floating when she walks" The young policeman Xiao Luo pointed to the woman wearing a phoenix crown and a xia veil in the video and asked Director Zhang.

"She's just floating," the master interjected as he looked at the woman in the phoenix crown and the veil on the surveillance screen.

"What do you mean" Xiao Luo didn't understand what the master meant by this.

"Because this woman is not a person at all, she is a ghost" When the master said these words, a layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on Xiao Luo's forehead.

"Uncle, you're not joking with me, are you?" Xiao Luo wiped the cold sweat running down his forehead and asked Master, who smiled at Xiao Luo and said nothing.

"Xiao Luo, you go to the deputy captain of the criminal police team and find out the information of this person in the video" Director Zhang pointed to the man in the blue tracksuit in the video and instructed Xiao Luo.

"Okay, Director Zhang," Xiao Luo replied to Director Zhang, pulled out the USB flash drive and ran out.

"That man should have two embroidered shoes in his hands, why is there only one left?" Master pinched his chin and muttered.

"I guess it was washed away by the river," I said to Master as I stood aside and interjected.

"It shouldn't be that simple," Master shook his head and said to me, falling into deep thought.

At half past five in the afternoon, Xiao Luo once again pushed open the door of Director Zhang, sweating profusely, he walked in front of Director Zhang, unceremoniously picked up the cold white open on the table and drank it.

"Director Zhang, we have found out the man's information," Xiao Luo panted and froze in front of Director Zhang.

"Hurry up," Director Zhang asked Xiao Luo with an anxious expression.

"The middle-aged man who died is surnamed Zhao, his name is Zhao Baogang, he is forty-five years old this year, he lives in Group 5 of Yushu Village, Qianyang Town, he is an old bachelor, he usually drinks well, and his hands and feet are not honest, and he has a record of burglary," Xiao Luo said to Director Zhang one by one.

"Have you been to his house?" Director Zhang continued to ask Xiao Luo.

"We haven't gone yet, Captain Fang is organizing people below, we plan to go over now" After listening to Xiao Luo's words, Director Zhang nodded.

"Lao Jiang, why don't you come with us too?" asked Director Zhang, looking at the master.

"Well, that's what I thought too," Master nodded to Director Zhang.

There were a lot of people who went to Zhao Baogang's house this time, and the criminal police team went to three vans with a total of more than 20 people, and Director Zhang himself drove me and Master to follow behind the cars of the criminal police team.

Coming to the fifth group of Yushu Village, we found Zhao Baogang's home after many inquiries. Zhao Baogang's home is a three-room small tiled house, which was left to him when his parents died, their yard is not small, overgrown with withered yellow weeds, the wooden windows have long been no glass, but blocked by broken paper shells and plastic sheets, I saw a basin-sized hole leaking from the roof of the room on the right, and it is rare in this world to be able to live such a man.

"Zhao Baogang, did he do something again?" at this time, an old man in his seventies with white hair walked up to us and asked Director Zhang with an angry face.

"Let's come to him to find out some information," Director Zhang said to the old man, and none of the people in the fifth group of Yushu Village knew about Zhao Baogang's death.
