Remnant snow falls in late autumn, and flowers and branches fly in early winter.

When the morning sun rises, the heavens and the earth shine brightly.

In the next few days, Wu Kang and his family went out early and returned late, and first visited several villages and towns around where the baby had disappeared; Later, he went directly to the county office and retrieved the files of these cases.

However, in the face of dozens of cases where babies disappeared and even the modus operandi were exactly the same, everyone still failed to find any clues.

For a few days, on the investigation of the case. One of the most common phrases that everyone hears is: every time a baby goes missing, someone sees a ghost, and then faints and is unconscious!

Of course, there are exceptions, but this one is the only one.

This "exceptional case" took place in a nearby village, called Wuer, which is small and has only a few dozen families.

But it is such a small village, but in a month and a half, there were eight cases of missing babies.

These eight cases have made the once peaceful village panic, and every household is like a frightened bird. I'm afraid that after seeing the ghost, my own children will disappear!

As soon as the sun goes down, families sleep behind their doors. If you have children at home, you will even hold your children tightly in your arms when you sleep. There are various self-defense equipment next to the pillows.

…………

"Wow"

The door was pushed open, Wu Kang rushed into the room, lay down on the bed with his feet facing the sky, exhaled a rough breath, and said with a sad face: "Whew! It's been three days, and there's still not a bit of progress!"

The old beggar and others also stepped into the room after him. Sit at the table of the Eight Immortals and lift the teapot to drink.

"Stinky boy, come, drink water!"

Li Changfeng took a sip of tea and poured a cup for Wu Kang. Wu Kang got up from the bed and sat down at the table of the Eight Immortals.

"This case is really peculiar, we visited for three days in a row, and there was no clue at all! Could it be that this case is really not the work of man?!" Guan Shouting drank all the tea in the cup and frowned.

"Yes! I've heard the word ghost the most these days! Zhang Danshen also said helplessly.

Li Changfeng and the old beggar glanced at each other and put down the teacup in their hands.

Xuan Yi took a sip of tea and said to everyone: "You have been investigating the case with Poor Dao for more than three days, but this case is mysterious and mysterious. There is only more than one month left before the Luoyang Martial Arts Alliance is held. Time is of the essence, and you can't afford to waste any more time here......"

Before Xuan Yi's words fell, Wu Kang waved his hand and shook his head, "What did the Taoist chief say?" Not to mention that the Martial Arts Alliance still has more than a month, even if it is only three days, then we must also finish investigating this case before leaving, and we can't let the people here suffer the pain of losing their children for no reason!"

Xuan Yi was about to speak when he heard this, but the old beggar took the lead and said, "Dao Elder doesn't need to say much!" Martial arts people should take it as their responsibility to the country and the people. Compared with the peace of the people in Anjie County, what is a martial arts alliance? ”

"The old man said that since he holds a three-foot long sword, he wants to do the right thing for heaven! Even if this case is not human, the old man must find out!" Li Changfeng put down the teacup in his hand, and there was a firmness in his words.

"However, if you investigate it like this, I'm afraid you won't find anything......" Xiao Yan said when he heard this.

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be quiet. Seeing this, Xiao Yan thought that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly looked at Zhang Danshen with a pleading look.

Zhang Danshen patted him on the shoulder, comforted him that he was fine, and then said, "A few seniors, what Xiaoyan said is right. We've been getting nothing for three days, maybe we should do it another way!"

"What do you mean?" When the old beggar heard this, he looked at Zhang Danshen.

"I haven't thought of it yet." Zhang Danshen said with embarrassment.

At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and everyone looked around, only to see that the person who came was Wu Ming, and they saw that Wu Ming was carrying a basket full of fresh new herbs behind him.

It turned out that Wu Ming did not go to investigate the case with everyone because of the inconvenience of his legs and feet, and stayed in the inn alone.

And Wu Ming couldn't stay idle, so he went to the nearby mountains to pick some herbs in case of emergency.

"Came back so early today? How is the case investigated, are there any clues? ”

Wu Ming entered the house, put the basket on the ground, wiped the sweat on his face with a face towel and asked.

"Alas! Old-timers, don't mention it! Nothing was found! We are thinking of new ways to investigate cases......"

Wu Ming, who had hung up the face towel, couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard the sound, came to the Eight Immortals table and sat down and said, "There is no clue, then this case is really mysterious!" Have you thought of a solution? ”

The crowd frowned and fell silent.

Seeing this, Wu Ming said: "Don't be in a hurry, if you really can't do it, you can do it again!" The thief is in the dark, and I am in the light. It's not so easy, think about what clues haven't been checked, if it's so easy, the local parents won't be so depressed. ”

As soon as Wu Ming's words fell, Zhang Danshen, who was originally frowning, suddenly lit up and said, "That's right! Senior Wu is right! We've got a place we haven't got!"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't react, and looked at Zhang Danshen with question marks on their faces.

Zhang Danshen grinned and explained: "Think about it, are there any places we haven't been to in the past few days, and who else hasn't seen them?" ”

"County offices, villages; The officials and the people asked all that they could...... Wait......"

Wu Kang was thinking about it, and the places that everyone had been to in the past few days quickly reacted. There is another important person whom no one has yet to see.

This person is the county magistrate of Anjie County, who was the first to contact the case and was depressed!

The already tired and exhausted people, after receiving the revelation at this moment, only felt comfortable, no longer as bored as before, and regained confidence in the case.

…………

Early the next morning.

After the rooster crowed, everyone had breakfast in the inn, and then under the leadership of Xuan Yi, they went straight to the yamen.

Everyone entered the yamen and found Yu Zhutou, only to learn from Yu Zhutou that the county magistrate actually locked himself in a cell.

Moreover, the key was taken away by him, and only when he had two meals would he open the cell door himself.

Everyone had no choice but to enter the prison under the leadership of Yu Zhutou.

As soon as everyone stepped into the prison, all kinds of smells came to their noses. Except for the light that came into the cell through the door, the only light source in the cell was the small window on the wall of each cell, which was no more than five feet long and wide!

With the dim light, everyone could only look at the situation in the old man.

The size of the prison is not large, from the door to the end, but it is only a hundred paces away. The cells were all made of wood, and each cell was only a few feet wide, and could only accommodate a few people.

Led by the jailer, everyone came to the cell where the prefectural order was located. Looking through the faint light, I saw a person lying in the cell, whose face was too dim to see at all. I could only see this person dressed in white, with unkempt hair and lying in prison with his feet facing the sky.
