Originally, there was a banquet after the funeral, but the funeral of the old stubborn family was an accident, and it was very unlucky for the father and daughter to hold the funeral together. In addition, there are always things happening in the village recently, so the banquet is free, and Jiao Hongzhou asked a few women to help make a table of dishes for the people who came to help.

Shen Zezhi and Ji Ziyue went to the village chief's house after reading the old stubborn man's funeral. They had to figure out what the relationship between Jiao Yuzhou and Jiao Jiacun was. Shen Ze didn't believe the village chief's words at all, the village chief definitely knew Jiao Yuzhou. Looking at Jiao Yuzhou's previous deliberate arrangement, you can know what kind of person this person is.

After the village chief's house, the village chief was not surprised by the arrival of Shen Zezhi and Ji Ziyue. From the time Ji Ziyue left and came back, he knew that Ji Ziyue must have gone out to find out something. Even if he didn't know Shen Zezhi's identity before, he guessed it now.

The village chief asked them to come in and asked Shen Zezhi bluntly, "Who are you?" ”

Shen Zezhi looked at him with a smile: "Guess? ”

The village chief waved his hand and said, "I don't have the time to guess, but I can see it." He glanced at Kiko's waist and said, "You're a policeman." ”

Shen Zezhi didn't have to hide it now, he readily admitted: "Yes." We are here to investigate the disappearance of three policemen, Wu Liang, Wang Qiang, and Zhang Yuan, from the Criminal Investigation Team of the Municipal Bureau. ”

The village chief said: "Then you are in the wrong place, they have not come to our village?" ”

Shen Zezhi: "Since we have come here, we must have gotten clues." And. He said meaningfully: "Ordinary people can't get in even if they want to." ”

The village chief looked at Shen Zezhi for a long time and sneered: "I didn't expect the current police to have this kind of ability." ”

Shen Zezhi said: "We don't need to play dumb riddles, I know that the three of them are already dead." But I'm not here today for this. ”

The village chief asked, "Then what did you come here for?" ”

Shen Zezhi said: "I'm here for Jiao Yuzhou." ”

"Jiao Yuzhou?" The village chief frowned and said, "I don't know, I haven't heard of it." ”

Shen Zezhi chuckled: "It's the man you saw carrying this handbag up the mountain." ”

"Oh." The village chief's face did not change: "He, I don't know." ”

Shen Zezhi knew that the village chief was going around in circles with him, and he said: "Before, we agreed that I would help you solve Yao Xianxian, and you told me a secret." Now I want to know what Jiao Yuzhou has to do with Jiaojiacun. ”

The village chief glared at him, "I told you a secret, but I didn't say that it was up to you to decide what the secret was. ”

Shen Zezhi looked at him for a long time: "Even if you don't tell me about the relationship between Jiao Yuzhou and your Jiaojia Village, I will find out sooner or later, and you have to tell me another secret." Don't try to fool me, you know you can't fool me. ”

The village chief looked at him hatefully. Shen Zezhi said again: "My proposal is very cost-effective, isn't it?" Now you just need to tell me the relationship between Jiao Yuzhou and your Jiaojia Village, and everything between us will be written off. ”

The village chief thought for a moment and said, "Okay. Jiao Yuzhou is a native of Jiaojia Village. He was the first person to walk out of Jiaojia Village. ”

The more Ji Zi looked at Shen Zezhi, wasn't Jiao Yanzhi the first person to go out in Jiaojia Village?

The village chief obviously knew what they meant, and he explained: "Jiao Yanzhi's matter is too early, I'm talking about the current thing. Jiao Yuzhou is older than me. I remember when I was a child, he had a quarrel with the village patriarch and then left, after which I never saw him again until not so long ago, when he returned. ”

Ji Ziyue said: "You said before that person looks like he is thirty or forty years old, how can he be older than you?" ”

The village chief said angrily: "How do I know, he is older than me, I guess he may just look young." ”

Shen Zezhi asked, "What about the other than that?" ”

The village chief said: "I also listened to the old people in the village about him, and he is one of the few people in our village who has ever read a book. And it's a book that went outside. Everyone said that he had gone bad after leaving Jiaojia Village. He has been closed since he came back from his studies, not knowing what he was studying. Later, someone slowly discovered that he would go to the back mountain at night and go to the holy pool. The elders of the village approached him once because of this incident, but he did not admit it. Houshantai is dangerous, and the people in the village generally dare not go up. As for the Holy Pond, it is the holy place of our village. Naturally, people can't just go. Later, after he went to the back mountain, he was blocked by the patriarch, and the patriarch reprimanded him, and he left together. I never saw him again. ”

Shen Zezhi asked: "How old was he when he left?" ”

The village chief thought for a moment: "It should be a long year old." After speaking, he straightened his face: "I have already told you what you want to know, you can go." ”

Shen Zezhi and Ji Ziyue stood up and said, "Okay." The two of them left happily.

The village chief looked at the backs of the two people, and his eyes flashed.

Outside, Ji Ziyue asked Shen Zezhi: "Is the village chief's words credible?" ”

Shen Zezhi said: "Almost." ”

Ji Ziyue said: "Jiao Yuzhou was in his twenties when he left, and the village chief said that Jiao Yuzhou was older than him. The village chief is in his 60s this year. Then Jiao Yuzhou must be at least sixty years older. But there is a picture of him in the information I checked, and he looks like he is in his thirties and less than forty years old. How he did it. ”

Shen Zezhi shook his head, and Ji Ziyue guessed: "Could it be related to Jiaojia Village, he discovered the secret of Jiaojia Village before, and this secret may be able to make people immortal or delay aging." He thought he could not get old, but after so many years of going out, he found that he was still getting old, but at a slower pace. So this time he's back. ”

Shen Zezhi continued: "Jiao Hongzhou said that the old stubborn man told him that there was something in the village that everyone thought was a treasure. Could Jiao Yuzhou be here to get such a thing? ”

Ji Ziyue said: "What can make people immortal?" ”

Shen Zezhi touched a small piece of jade pendant hanging around his neck, and he remembered the legend that Chu Xun had told him about the ancient jade pendant. The green bone jade is a piece of the ancient jade, could it be that there is also a fragment of the doom in Jiaojia Village.

Ji Ziyue looked at Shen Zezhi's thoughtful expression and asked, "Team leader, what are you thinking?" ”

Shen Zezhi looked at him and said, "It's nothing." ”

Noriko asked, "What should we do next?" ”

Shen Zezhi said: "We use the most direct method. ”

Kiko asked curiously, "What way?" ”

Shen Zezhi smiled slightly: "Go to the back mountain to find Jiao Yuzhou." ”

Ji Ziyue looked at the back mountain and was a little worried: "Can we find Jiao Yuzhou?" ”

Shen Zezhi said: "If Jiao Yuzhou is really trapped in the back mountain, then as long as I go, he will definitely find a way to let me talk to him." ”

Kiko Yue said: "But he wants to use you." ”

Shen Zezhi said: "When we find him, it is not up to him to use it or not." ”

Hearing this, Kiko nodded and asked, "When are we going?" ”

Shen Zezhi said: "This matter is not in a hurry, we have to figure out what is strange in the lake first." ”

The more Ji Zi remembered what Shen Zezhi had said to him before, he was curious: "Is there really a dragon in the lake behind the village?" ”

Shen Zezhi nodded: "The night you came back, I saw a black dragon. ”

Ji Ziyue said regretfully: "It's a pity that I fainted, otherwise I could still take a look." ”

Shen Zezhi laughed, Ji Ziyue is sometimes quite meaningless. When encountering this kind of thing, most people are afraid, but he is a little more curious. But his personality is really suitable for being a police officer.

Shen Zezhi said: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, let's go and see it now." ”

Kiko Yue said: "Okay." ”

It was now sunset, and the two of them walked and chatted, and soon they reached the lake, when the sun was just setting, and the mountain side was plated with a layer of golden light.

Kikoyue looked at the calm lake and asked, "How do we bring it out." ”

Shen Zezhi said: "Wait and see, this thing never seems to come out during the day." When the moon rises, we find a way to bring it up. ”

Kikoko nodded, and found a stone by the lake to sit and look at the lake. Shen Zezhi turned to look at the back mountain, where was it still the same as what he saw before.

After a long while, Shen Zezhi didn't hear Ji Ziyue's movements, and when he turned around, he found that Ji Ziyue didn't know when he actually walked into the lake.

Ji Ziyue in the lake was starless, he looked ahead, one hand was still stretched forward, as if he was holding something in his hand, and his feet were moving forward mechanically. The lake was already running down his waist.

Shen Zezhi scolded secretly, he forgot to remind Ji Ziyue not to stare at the lake. I don't know how many people have died in this lake, and there are countless unjust souls in it, all waiting for the opportunity to pull people down to be substitutes for the dead.

Shen Zezhi took a few steps into the water, stopped Ji Ziyue's waist with one hand, and dragged him to the shore. Ji Ziyue suddenly struggled frantically at this time. Shen Zezhi frowned, he found that he didn't know when many white phantoms appeared around them. These shadows all looked like human beings, and they seemed to be whispering around Shen Zezhi and Ji Ziyue.

The green bone jade on Shen Zezhi's neck became hot, and Shen Zezhi knew that this was the green bone jade and felt the danger. He wanted to deal with the white shadow beside him, but Noriko struggled too hard, and he almost couldn't pull him. There was no way for Shen Ze to turn one hand into a palm, and the knife in one hand stunted Ji Ziyue. As soon as Kiko was honest, those white phantoms suddenly burrowed into the water. Shen Zezhi's eyes narrowed, he intuitively felt that these things would not let them go so easily.

Sure enough, as soon as he moved, he noticed that his ankle was entangled in something. Suddenly, the thing wrapped around his ankle pulled violently, and Shen Zezhi was pulled down unexpectedly. In an instant, he fell into the water together with Kikoyue, who had fainted in his arm.

Shen Zezhi opened his eyes in the water, the lake water was unexpectedly clear, and he could clearly see the things in the lake. He found a white object wrapped around his ankle. Shen Zezhi kicked his legs and found that the thing was wrapped too tightly, and this thing was dragging them deeper into the lake. He can hold his breath himself, but Noriko can't. Shen Zezhi's eyebrows furrowed, and a wave of anger emanated from his body.
