Dai Guozi learned things very decently, and at first the boat shook and he almost fell headlong into the river. Gu Changming is not a local, there is no such taboo, he will never let himself fall into the heavenly river. According to the old man, falling into the Tongtian River will take at least half a year of bad luck.
It's been bad enough lately. Dai Guozi swayed left and right to stabilize his body, held the penny in his hand, and controlled the ferry forward. He looked down at Gu Changming, getting closer, and couldn't help but ask in surprise, "What's in the river?" ”
Surrounded by the girl in scarlet clothes so obviously, Dai Guozi didn't know that the other party was dead. All he could see was a layer of white floating objects in the shape of a human, like a large leaf supporting a person underneath.
"The kind of thing under her skin when she jumped into the river." No matter how good Gu Changming's internal strength is, after soaking in the cold and biting river water for a distance, his body temperature drops rapidly, and his face will not be good.
Dai Guozi was even more worried that he would be reckless, so he turned around and fell ill in Quyang County, pushed the ferry boat over, and handed the long penny over: "Do you want to save her first?" ”
"She was dead the moment she entered the river." Gu Changming personally confirmed that there would not be the slightest difference, "I understand why there is no water in the stomach of the first four female corpses." They seemed to have calculated the most accurate time. He really wanted Qiu Lingzuo and Cun Xi to come over and see, who did this series of exquisite designs come from? Regardless of whether the other party is friend or foe, Gu Changming must also admit that the other party is a master of calculation.
"What, she's dead again!" Dai Guozi also wanted to say that he finally had a living witness, although he didn't understand what to say. Didn't they find an inch, maybe the translator would understand why they chose to commit suicide in Tongtianhe. Tongtian River is 800 miles, and this section of the river basin has to be chosen. Now it seems that this is not possible.
Gu Changming put one hand on the penny's head, Dai Guozi watched the penny being pressed down in an arc, and then used the unique tenacity of bamboo to bounce Gu Changming high into the air. When the wet fell, Gu Changming was already standing by his side.
"The dead are heavy, I'll help you." Gu Changming's hands pressed the penny together, he didn't let Dai Guozi let go, the two of them used the penny to bounce the female corpse up with four hands, Gu Changming flew and grabbed it, and the female corpse also fell on the board.
"You're not afraid at all. That Ah Liu was not infected with Gu worms, and it is estimated that his life will not be guaranteed at this time. Dai Guozi pushed the ferry back to shore.
"For people who don't have malicious intent, they don't hurt at all." Gu Changming was talking about the servants who were put down on the bank of the river, and although they were temporarily unconscious, he knew that there would be no worries about their lives. And the girl in the scarlet dress couldn't speak to them, but that smile didn't mean to hurt people at all. Ah Liu's strange illness can only be said to be his own fault, and he can't live because of his own evil.
Some people on the shore gradually gathered over, and the first thing Dai Guozi saw when he raised his eyes was Sun Youxiang, who should be the official guarding the shore to report the news in time and invite the master bookkeeper over. Although he regretted that the girl in scarlet clothes did not save her life after all, he was secretly relieved. At least Master Sun can avoid suspicion and don't have to put a black gauze hat on these corpses.
Then Dai Guozi saw Liu Zhuxue again, and Liu Zhuxue obviously rushed to meet him according to what he said. Both runs failed, and this Dai Guo is like a slippery loach, and he can't catch anyone at all.
Liu Zhuxue was worried about the safety of Gu Dai and the others, and always felt that the case was too strange to explain with common sense. Now seeing the two of them appear at the same time, although they are still angry with Dai Guozi, the corners of their mouths still reveal a hint of smile.
"That's small, if you don't find someone to watch, don't run away." Dai Guozi thinks that it is still somewhat useful, if you don't see it for a while, it will be a pity.
"Won't run." Gu Changming was soaked from head to toe, but he still did not lose his rich and handsome bearing. Dai Guozi beside him saw that his eyes were hot, and he held his breath and had no place to vent, so he could only forcibly withdraw his eyes from him.
"My lord, only this corpse was brought back, and there was no living mouth." Dai Guozi jumped ashore and replied to Sun Youxiang regretfully, "We tried to save her life, but we still didn't succeed." ”
"Suicide or homicide?" Sun Youxiang has such a calm personality, and his voice trembled slightly, as if he was waiting for God's decision.
"It's suicide, it's purely their own death. Gu Gongzi and I are both witnesses, watching her recite words, take poison and jump into the river again. Dai Guozi saw that there were still many civil officials next to him, and he swallowed the word Gu worm back from his throat for the time being. He simply said that he was taking poison, and anyway, it looked like the dead bodies looked the same.
Sun Youxiang and Dai Guozi quickly exchanged glances, understanding that there was still something to discuss, and immediately ordered the other officials to wrap the body in a white cloth and bring it back to the county government for processing:
"Did Gu Gongzi fall into the water? In such weather, no matter how good your health is, you can't bear the cold of the river, so please go back to the county government together and let Lao Qiu decoction for you. ”
Dai Guozi stabbed Gu Changming's arm with his elbow: "Qiu Chengzuo gave you decoction, do you dare to drink it?" ”
Gu Changming lowered his head and smiled: "Qiu Chengzuo's medical skills are also not bad, I dare to drink it." He took a step forward and asked, "Master Sun, what about the inch I brought back, is he still in the county office?" ”
"Keep it, and I can talk to Lao Qiu in particular. It's really strange to say, when Gu Gongzi left, Ah Liu had a breath left. Soon after you left, he regained his breath, and now he was helping Lao Qiu turn over the corpse again. Sun Youxiang was obviously a blow to the gravity on his shoulders. This time, Dai Guozi used the connections of Shangtang County, and he used the name of Quyang County. He was ready that if there was really a serial killer, he would be unable to escape the blame as a parent official, so he could only resign and return to his hometown.
"Ah Liu came back to life?" Gu Changming's eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't feel anything special. Isn't it that he also says that he is a master of making good use of Gu worms, if he unravels Ah Liu, he will not be guilty of death.
"There are a lot of winds here, let's go back to the county government first." Sun Youxiang waved and gave them two special treatments, allowing them to sit in an ox cart and recuperate a little.
Dai Guozi was not polite at all, and climbed up first. When Gu Changming came up, he was faced with a damp vapor, Dai Guozi covered his nose and turned around halfway: "You jumped at that time, and what did you do when you knocked me away with one palm?" ”
Gu Changming didn't have the slightest shelf, got into the car to learn from him, and lay flat on the other side. If you want to hold on to solve the case in one breath, he can do it. Now that the water is almost out, I realized how tired I was after the rotation, and the bones in my whole body creaked, as if in protest.
"I wasn't sure what the situation was at that time, I was afraid that it would be dangerous for you to jump down, and someone needed to stay on the shore." Gu Changming's choice was not wrong, didn't Dai Guozi find a boat to pick him up. The corpse of the scarlet-clothed woman came out of the water, and the layer of white floating objects seemed to have lost its life with it, and slowly sank to the bottom of the bottomless Tongtian River.
"The case is solved here, I will accompany you to Tianxiang Pavilion to squat and squat your senior brother." Dai Guozi squeezed his eyes at him, "Hey, what kind of expression are you, it won't be forgotten that you came to Quyang County for the first purpose, right?" ”
Gu Changming smiled bitterly and said, "If you don't say it, I really want to forget about my senior brother." ”
"There is no news from Tianxiang Pavilion, maybe he is still on the way." Dai Guozi's arms shook upward, "Don't worry, Quyang County is so big, and the places that should be taken care of have been taken care of for you, and you will definitely not know it." ”
"I thought I had been in Quyang County for a few days, and the news he sent to me at that time was so anxious, and now I don't see anyone, don't have other accidents on the way." Gu Changming spread his hands in front of his eyes. He was bold, and while he was in the river, he touched the white floats. I don't know if there will be other conditions.
As soon as Dai Guozi heard what he said, he quickly sat up, and his disgust was as far away from him as he was. Ah Liu almost scratched off his whole skin later, which made people feel uncomfortable when they thought about it: "If you also have such a strange disease, what should Miss Liu think of us!" ”
Gu Changming was asked by him, but he was speechless. Those floating objects felt like duckweed plants on the surface of an ordinary river, and some of them flowed smoothly between the fingers, and there was no particularly terrifying feeling: "No, you have seen Qiu Cheng do autopsies several times, and he is much more diligent in touching the corpse than Ah Liuke, he is not nothing." ”
"He's soaking in a pile of dead people, and Gu worms don't want to have much contact with him." Dai Guozi was still worried about Gu Changming, "Are you itchy or not?" ”
"It's not itchy, but the clothes are soaked, and it's very uncomfortable." Gu Changming was telling the truth, waiting for the carriage to stop. He pushed the car door and came down, and the official came to lead the way, and invited him to the backyard to bathe and change clothes.
"Zheng He, is he treated so well?" Dai Guozi shouted and climbed down, "Your elbow is too obvious." ”
"Where is my idea, the Lord Bookkeeper took care of it when he went to the bank of the river, and said that you may all have to wash it when you come back. I deliberately asked people to boil the hot water, the bath bucket was cleaned, and the soap corner was still a new color that I just went out to buy. Zheng He didn't dare to take the big hat that Dai Guozi buttoned over, "Look at the appearance of the two, the case has been solved?" ”
"Well, broken, suicide, no murderer." Dai Guozi said lightly, and found that Gu Changming was standing there, as if he was listening intently, and he couldn't move his footsteps, "You still need to take a hot bath than me, what's wrong?" ”
Gu Changming was standing in the corner of the wall of the county government, and he heard the voices of two children, which seemed to come from the corner in front of him, and the rhythm of the ball: "One drum, the grass and trees are born, and the second drum......"
"Let's go, Gu Gongzi, don't let us ask for three or four invitations." Dai Guozi relied on being familiar with him in the past few days, dragged Gu Changming's arm, and led the person away.
