Fortunately, it is not too late now, there is still some distance from dusk, and there are people in the suburbs one after another during the day, so Lao Ma and Xiao Li are only flustered in their hearts, but they are not to the point of panicking. It's just that since the three of them are going to investigate the case, of course they won't deal with it, I'm afraid that they will have to spend the night in this suburb tonight, and then it will be the real test.

As soon as they thought of this, Lao Ma and Xiao Li were nervous, but as fast catchers, they couldn't make any other choice at all, they could only pray for God's blessing, and it was best not to encounter anything dangerous.

It took about half an hour for the three of them to walk on the muddy road, and finally arrived at the red bean valley.

Hongdouwa is actually a wasteland in the south of the city, originally a large area of red beans was planted here, but later because of the war, the local farmers who planted red beans died and fled, and even heard that the invaders of the demon clan buried the slaughtered farmers collectively in the wasteland of the red bean valley, and later although the demon clan was repulsed, but this red bean depression has always made people feel that the yin is too heavy, and then because of the rumors that a large number of corpses were buried under the red bean depression, this generation has never been inhabited.

However, this red bean valley is also located in the middle of the official road between Yuezhou City and Yuyang County, and it is the only way to travel between the two places, so people can not help but pass through this place, if they want to avoid here, they have to go around a big mountain and walk out of dozens of miles. In this era, for an ordinary person, the distance of dozens of miles is equivalent to an extra day's journey. For the sake of convenience, everyone naturally chooses to take this path.

Of course, the red bean depression is not said to be terrifying to the extreme, after all, the rumor is just a rumor, during the day, the sun hangs high in the air, the green mountains and green waters on both sides, the flowers are in full bloom, because the red bean depression is low, naturally formed a wetland, the wetland is full of dense aquatic plants, but also gathered a large number of water birds and birds, now the red bean valley scenery is very beautiful, which also makes this place a good place to go out.

Therefore, every daytime, a large number of tourists will gather in the area of Hongdouwa, and people will go on an outing here, which is also very pleasant. If it weren't for the disappearance of the population this time, the past time of Hongdouwa would have almost been forgotten.

The strangest thing is that this time the Jiuyanzong drought, the red bean depression does not seem to be in any danger, other places are dry and the ground is dry, but this red bean depression is still full of green, especially because of the intensification of the surrounding drought, which also makes the red bean depression attract more water birds, become more lively, and more beautiful.

However, this time, several cases occurred in a row, but it broke the original quiet and peaceful, and also made people associate Hongdouwa with some things in the past, and this connection made people unconsciously have more thoughts.

At this time, some people said that the red bean valley in the past was probably locked up by something, but now it was accidentally released, and now those unclean things have begun to attack humans, and I am afraid that this kind of attack will continue forever.

Some people also jumped out and said that the things in the red bean valley are to eat people to improve their cultivation, and if they can't find people around the red bean valley to eat, they will come to Yuezhou City to eat people. For a while, the rumors scattered, and the people in Yuezhou City also fell into great unease. This kind of uneasiness will spread, and Yuezhou City, which was originally relatively peaceful, is now quite a bit of a rumor.

It is not only the ordinary people who are affected, Yuezhou City itself does not have a large number of high-value goods, so its income is more dependent on the transit tax, and now this red bean valley has an accident, but also affects the flow of passengers, originally even the night road dare to go business travel, but now it is to form a team in broad daylight to dare to pass, more people are choosing to detour dozens of miles, from a farther direction to bypass Yuezhou City to the south. As a result, the basic source of income on which Yuezhou City depended was affected. It is precisely for this reason that the city lord slapped the table with the patrol room and asked them to solve the case as soon as possible. It was also because of the tremendous pressure that the chief catcher sent his most capable Yuan catcher and two capable officials to investigate the case.

In fact, as a territory of the Bronze Sect, and a city of tens of thousands of people, how can it not be so shabby that it can't even draw out some officials, the reason why there is such a shortage of manpower now is that those other officials now have other tasks.

What is the task? Originally, the main task of the large group of officials in the patrol house was to escort the merchant travelers to and from the border!

This task is not a good task, and there are many business trips in transit, and those officials are equivalent to running back and forth all day long, and every night when they come home, they fall into bed like dead pigs and are unwilling to get up.

So now the chief catcher has worked hard, and only three catchers have been mobilized to come out, but fortunately, Yuan Zhutou and Lao Ma Xiaoli are also the shrewd people in the patrol room of Yuezhou City, and the chief catcher also thinks that they are the most suitable candidates.

When a few people went out of the city, they didn't think too much, they just handled the case, as before, followed the clues, found the traces, and then mobilized more people to kill the enemy in one go, and everything was over.

But when Yuan Zhutou said that the opponent they were facing was probably not a human being, Lao Ma and Xiao Li's hearts began to feel nervous, and even Yuan Zhutou's heart was extremely worried at this time, after all, what they had to face was not a simple criminal, but a demon clan or a martial arts master, so the danger faced by the three of them was very great.

The case occurred on a dry flat land in the depths of the red bean depression, which is slightly higher than the other areas of the red bean depression, and is a highland protruding from the water surface.

Of course, the current observation deck is already inaccessible and crowded, and no one dares to come here since the accident.

Yuan Zhutou took Lao Ma and Xiao Li and carefully walked along a stone road in the direction of the viewing platform, others could be stopped because of the danger there, but it was their task to go in and find out.

Because there were no more people around, even though it was not yet dusk, the stone road was already a little gloomy, and the footsteps of the three people were empty, echoing in the jungle.

Xiao Li only felt that his heart was being pinched, his steps became very heavy, and even felt that his breathing was a little short, and there was an obvious feeling of being out of breath, Xiao Li knew that this was caused by his excessive nervousness, but why, he still felt that there was always a trace of cool air blowing on his neck behind him?
