Li You and Ouyang Jian came to the pavilion in the courtyard one after another, and as soon as the two stood firm, Li You couldn't wait to ask. "Who are you?"

"Cultivators!" Ouyang Jian did not hesitate at all.

"A cultivator?" Li You looked suspicious. "There are no temples and no temples in Shengtang County, why are you here to do so?"

"Demon!" Ouyang Jian was still simple and clear, but his words aroused Li You's great interest.

"About Zhao Wu?"

"Not bad."

"Zhao Wu was killed by demons?"

"Unknown!"

"Unclear?" Li You immediately frowned. "The door panels and stones on the water tank, but you moved them down?"

"Yes."

"Did you see the murderer?" Li You is still not giving up.

"It's late!" Ouyang Jian looked sorry, which made Li You have a good impression of him.

"When you say unknown, do you mean that you don't know if there are demons?" Li You continued to ask.

"There will be demons." Ouyang Jian's tone was resolute.

"Then what do you mean by not knowing?" Li You lost some patience. Ouyang Jian looked at Li You, lowered his head and pondered for a while, then raised his head and replied. "Murder or not!"

Hearing such an answer, Li You really wanted to give him two punches, was it necessary to talk like this? However, after piecing together a few short sentences, Li You finally understood what Ouyang Jian meant. "In other words, there must be demons involved in Zhao Wu's case, but whether Zhao Wu was killed by someone or by demons, you can't be sure?"

"Hmm." Ouyang Jian nodded.

"Can you help me arrest someone?" Although Li You had a premonition of the answer, he still had a hint of luck.

"I can't." Ouyang Jian replied very decisively, without hesitation.

And so it was!

"Then can you help me catch the demon?"

"Of course!" Ouyang Jian nodded.

"What do you think of the murder of Zhao Wu?"

"You - judge, I - execute." Ouyang Jian took it for granted, which made Li You very unhappy. "What if I'm wrong?"

"The name of Gaotao!" Ouyang Jian moved out of Gaotao's reputation to suppress Li You, which made Li You speechless.

"Human beings have laws and regulations, how can demons be condemned?" Li You raised the question he was most concerned about. The legality of the crime is the supreme principle of adjudication. There is a law for human sin, but if evil sins, what is the basis for condemnation?

"Murderer, die!" Ouyang Jian turned to look at Li You, with a hint of approval on his face, which made Li You somewhat surprised.

"Is it a murderer to use demonic techniques to tempt human beings to commit suicide, to tempt others to kill people, and to put human beings in a dangerous place so that they are killed?" Li You asked several questions one after another.

"Not counting!" Ouyang Jian shook his head, but there was obviously a trace of helplessness on his face.

"What's that? Can't be convicted? Li You furrowed his brows, his face annoyed. If you only punish the demons who kill people directly, it will be too indulgent for them.

"Heavenly Court Judgment!" Ouyang Jian turned to look ahead, with a complicated expression on his face, as if there was something unspeakable.

"I see." Li You didn't see Ouyang Jian's expression, so he didn't ask any further. What is Heavenly Court? How to cut? These were all ignored by Li You. Because Buddhism and Taoism are prevalent at the moment, Li You thinks that the heavenly court is the heavenly court preached by Taoism, and the judgment is naturally based on the rules of heaven.

But is this really the case?

"After that, we're partners?" Although I can't help myself solve the case, a strong partner can still bring a lot of convenience, such as edamame this time. So, Li You stretched out a hand to Ouyang Jian.

Ouyang Jian turned around and looked at Li You, hesitated for a moment, but still held Li You's hand.

"Good!"

………

The Peishui River is a tributary of the Wei River, with abundant water and wide channels, and is the main shipping channel of Shengtang County.

On the path on the bank of the Peishui River, a tall and thin middle-aged man was walking listlessly.

The man's face was gray and tired, and his eyes, in particular, seemed to be about to close, but for some reason, they suddenly opened again, and then looked around in panic and shouted loudly. "Edamame! Soybean! Daddy is here! ”

This person turned out to be Edamame's father, Feng Guang.

After Edamame's disappearance, Feng Guang's family began to search everywhere. However, I searched all over the pond, the grove, the old house, and the place where edamame often played, but I couldn't find it.

In the evening, Feng Guang saw that the family had not eaten, so he asked the family to go back first, and he would go back after a while. Just after the family left, Feng Guang began to hear the child's call. "Daddy! Father! Feng Guang felt like the sound of edamame, so he followed the sound to look for it, but he couldn't find it. However, as soon as Feng Guang stopped for a moment, the voice of shouting sounded again.

So, Feng Guang stopped and walked under the temptation of this voice, and before he knew it, it was dawn, and he also came to the Peishui River.

"Edamame! Soybean! Woooooooooo

"Daddy! Father! ”

Suddenly, Feng Guang heard the child's voice calling again. This time it seemed to be different, it was close to him, and the voice was eager. Feng Guang stood up abruptly and looked around in a panic.

There was no one in front of him and behind him.

Is it in the river?

Feng Guang hurriedly turned to the river and vaguely saw a child in the river.

"Edamame? Soybean! ”

Feng Guang hurriedly walked through the grass and trees, lying on the bank, shouting loudly into the river.

Crash! Crash!

In the center of the river, there were layers of splashes, and it seemed that there was a pair of children's hands, desperately beating the river.

What to do? What to do!

Feng Guang was in a hurry on the bank of the river, but he never had the courage to enter the water, because Feng Guang couldn't swim at all.

"Help! Rescue..."In the splash, a child's face appeared, and Feng Guangding looked at it, this child seemed to be edamame.

What to do! What to do!

Feng Guang looked left and right, and there was no one else around except himself.

"Daddy, help..."

The splash in the center of the river gradually became smaller, and the speed of the child's hands was getting slower and slower, Zhao Wu only felt that his hands and feet were numb, and the blood rushed to his brain.

I have to save my child! I have to save my child!

At this time, Feng Guang's eyes were red, his mouth kept chattering, and he nervously rummaged around the shore, and finally found a dry tree trunk. Feng Guang didn't have time to think about it, picked up the tree trunk, and jumped into the river.

The river is not turbulent, but it is a big challenge for Feng Guang, who does not know water at all.

Feng Guang held the trunk of the tree tightly with one hand, paddled desperately with the other, and kept kicking backwards with his feet, trying to swim to the center of the river as soon as possible and rescue edamame. However, the harder Feng Guang tried, the more he didn't move forward, and the harder he tried, the more he spun in place.

Feng Guang saw that the splash in the center of the river was getting smaller and smaller, and he was anxious, so he tried to straighten his legs, trying to kick to the riverbed. However, this river was too deep, and no matter how hard Feng Guang tried, he couldn't reach the end. So, Feng Guang grabbed the trunk of the tree with both hands and straightened his arms, and finally stepped on the riverbed.

Down-to-earth, Feng Guang's heart suddenly had a bottom, and he was about to move forward a little bit, when the dead wood in his hand suddenly writhed, Feng Guang was taken aback, and raised his eyes to see, what kind of dead wood is this, it is actually a giant python!

"Ahh Feng Guang shouted, and couldn't help but let go of his hands, this giant python didn't attack Feng Guang, but rolled and swam towards the center of the river, Feng Guang took a closer look, and it was still that dead wood.

What's going on?

Just when Feng Guang was secretly pondering, his feet seemed to be entangled in something, Feng Guang panicked in his heart, and wanted to kick hard, but there was no dead wood in his hands, and the whole person lost his buoyancy, so he fell into the water.

"Help! Help me! ”

Feng Guang struggled and shouted loudly, but there was no one around. Feng Guang opened his mouth wide, wanting to catch his breath, but the river water poured into his mouth violently, choking him and coughing loudly involuntarily, but the river water poured in violently from one mouth. Feng Guang fell into endless panic and fear, he tried to straighten his legs, raised his head, and tried to step on the riverbed and stick his head out of the water, but he was never able to do so.

After a while, Feng Guang's consciousness became more and more blurred, and his strength became smaller and smaller, and he finally stopped struggling and sank to the bottom.

The Peishui River regained its calm, still flowing quietly, as if nothing had happened, only in the reflection of the river, a figure dressed in red, flashed.

………

Li You sat on the seat and looked at the edamame who had his cheeks bulging and escaped death. At this time, Edamame had finished eating two peaches and was gobbling up a plate of osmanthus cakes.

"Your name is Edamame?" Li You asked softly.

"Hmm." Edamame glanced up at Li You, then turned his head to look at the osmanthus cake, grabbed a piece and stuffed it into his mouth.

"The day before yesterday, where did you go?" Li You continued to ask.

"The day before yesterday?" Edamame gave an inexplicable expression.

"The day you met the wolf." Li You had no choice but to continue to guide.

"Oh, those wolves are going to eat me, haha." Edamame laughed heartlessly. "That uncle saved me, whoosh! Sou! Sword fly! Whoosh! Edamame's description was colorful, and Li You, who was an outsider, was confused.

"Why did you end up in the middle of nowhere?" Li You estimated that what Maodou said should be the situation when Ouyang Jian rescued him, which was not the focus of his concern.

"Chasing rabbits, a snow-white rabbit, so big!" Edamame gestured with his hand. "When it runs, I chase, when it runs, I chase, and finally I catch up. Then, I smashed it down, and with a bang, the rabbit was gone. Ha ha. ”

Edamame said it easily, but Li You was shocked when he heard it. Obviously, this is the murderer's use of demonic techniques, deliberately luring edamame to a place infested by wolves, wanting to use the wolf's mouth to kill people and destroy them. What a vicious intention!

"Edamame, did you cross the door of Zhao Wu's house?"

"Hmm." Edamame lowered her head in embarrassment.

"Who told you to paddle?" Li You slowed his breathing and stared closely at Edamame's reaction.

"A man in red." Edamame didn't hesitate at all, and the content of his answer was also consistent with what Zhao Feng relayed, and Li You couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Finally identified a useful clue.

"Is this man in red a man or a woman? What does it look like? ”

"She is wearing a scarf, she can't see her face, her brows are all Tao, her hands are wrinkled, she is an old grandmother." Edamame frowned, recounting as he recounted.

An old woman in a red dress?

Such a person spent more than a month torturing Zhao Wu by various means, until Zhao Wu was in a trance, suspicious, and finally died mysteriously. What kind of deep hatred did Zhao Wu have with this person, so much so that he wanted to use such a long, tormenting, and cruel means to kill him?

Li You fell into deep thought.

"Childe, childe, it's not good!" Wang Miao flew in from outside the door.

"What's wrong?" Li You hurriedly looked up at Wang Miao.

"Feng Guang is missing!"

"Missing? How long have you been missing? ”

"I haven't been back for two days!"

After finding edamame, Li You specially asked Wang Miao to inform Feng Guang in order to reassure Feng Guang's family, but now he got such news.

In order to find his son, it is understandable to go out for a day and a half, but now it is two days to disappear, could it be that this Feng Guang also suffered an accident? Could it be that Feng Guang is also the target of this murderer?

Thinking of this, Li You's eyes suddenly lit up, all the clues were strung together, and he secretly said that it was not good in his heart.

"Wang Miao, immediately notify Ouyang Jian and ask him to help find Feng Guang, to see people in life and corpses in death." Li You's tone was eager, and his face was anxious. "As for you, no matter what, you have to help me protect someone!"

"Who?"

"Feng Liang!"
