Volume 1: The Case of the Talented Son of Linzhou Chapter 3: The River God's Fury
The second question is actually the one that the criminal has been puzzled with.
"By the way, what is the relationship between Su Meng and the other two talented people who have died?" Duan Ming looked at Xing Qianqiu.
Xing Qianqiu said: "The relationship is very good, and it is even more with Ji Qianfan, who is known as the 'Tonghu Talent', collectively known as the 'Four Talents of Linzhou', and often get together." ”
"The dead all know each other, don't they?" Duan Ming's eyes narrowed slightly: "That Ji Qianfan ......"
"Ji Qianfan is already being watched there." Xing Qianqiu said: "There is nothing abnormal found at the moment. ”
"Hmm." Duan Ming nodded: "Okay, now that I have a general understanding of the situation, can I go?" ”
"Where are you going?" Xing Qianqiu looked at Duan Ming.
"On the banks of the Surin River." Duan Ming said in a deep voice: "There are some things that I need to take a look at in person. ”
"I'll go with you." Xing Qianqiu said.
"You?" Duan Ming hesitated for a moment and nodded: "But you change your outfit first, and bring more money." ”
"Change of clothes? Bring more money? Xing Qianqiu was stunned, but he didn't ask too much, and quickly walked back to the room to change his clothes.
Although he is cold-faced, he has an advantage, that is, he does not doubt the use of people.
It was just past noon at this moment, and there was still a lot of people on the banks of the Surin River.
The case in the morning didn't seem to affect everyone's lives at all, it just gave everyone an after-dinner conversation.
Soon, Duan Ming took Xing Qianqiu to a vendor's shop, and Duan Ming greeted with a smile: "Hey, Brother Yu!" ”
"Duan Ming?" The owner of the shop is a middle-aged man in his forties, known as the fifth old, with dark skin and a strong and powerful appearance: "Why are you here again?" If you want to fish on credit again, no way! ”
"Hehe, Brother Yu, don't be so unfriendly." Duan Ming smiled and walked around the board and came to Yu Lao Wu's side, ignoring the fishy fish on Yu Lao Wu's body, and hugged his neck: "You forgot, last time you lost your net, I still found it for you." ”
"If you forget, I'll chop you up and sell the fish you stole from me!" Yu Lao Wu shook off Duan Ming's arm and gritted his teeth and said.
"Yes, yes, thank you for my brother's kindness!" Duan Ming said with a smile: "I borrowed before, not stolen, don't you see that I came to repay the money this time." ”
"Old criminal, pay for it, fifty copper plates." Duan Ming looked at Xing Qianqiu, and then said to the fifth child: "If there are too many, count my interest." ”
Xing Qianqiu looked at Duan Ming, and with a pale face, he took out fifty copper plates from his waist and put them on the board.
"Interest? Where did you come up with such a strange word? Yu Lao Wu looked at the fifty copper plates, and was immediately happy, and at the same time looked at Xing Qianqiu suspiciously: "This master is your friend?" Xiao Duan, you've made a fortune! ”
"Hey, friend." Duan Ming smiled and nodded: "By the way, Brother Yu, your business is quite deserted today." ”
"Well, don't mention it, it's not the thing in the morning." Yu Lao Wu put away the copper coin and sighed: "Today's river god sacrifice is not allowed to go into the water, so I caught these fish overnight last night, thinking that more people could buy them today." As a result, I encountered that incident......"
"Oh? What's the matter? Let's hear it. Duan Ming asked.
"You don't know?" Yu Lao Wu looked at Duan Ming suspiciously: "Oh, that's right, you kid didn't know where to run before you touched it, and it's normal that you haven't heard of it." ”
"Just this morning, that famous Lin genius died, tsk, the one who died miserably." Yu Lao Wu saw that there was no one left and right, so he whispered: "Let me tell you, that sensation, even the Spiegel Division was alarmed, there are people from the Spiegel Division everywhere on both sides, and it is said that many people were taken away." ”
"Qilin genius, he's dead too?" Duan Ming pretended to be surprised and said, "The Spiegel Division is here?" And take a lot of people? You can't brag, do you? ”
"Bragging? I've done everything in the fifth child, but I don't brag. To tell you the truth, I was here at the time, and I saw it all, and it was the kind of genius you said. Yu Lao Wu patted his chest and lowered his voice: "What can the Spiegel Division do even if he intervenes?" The people killed by the river god, can they still catch the river god? ”
"River God? How so? Duan Ming asked in a low voice, "Someone is pretending to be a ghost." ”
"Oh, don't believe it! I saw it with my own eyes! Yu Lao Wu looked at Xing Qianqiu as he spoke, and hesitated slightly: "Brother Duan, are you and this little brother?" ”
"Don't worry, Brother Yu." Duan Ming understood Yu Lao Wu's worries: "This is my brother, I won't talk nonsense." ”
"That's good." Yu Lao Wu nodded: "Let me tell you, Brother Duan, I have been crisscrossing the Surin River for many years, and I have never seen any scenes, but this morning is really an eye-opener." ”
"Don't you know, the river, it's clean and mirror-like, just the fish under the water, a group of people pounce on the water, if you go down the net, you can probably catch a lot."
"Wait, could it be that the fish jumped out of the water and ate the unicorn talent?" Duan Ming joked with a smile.
"What nonsense." Yu Lao Wu glanced at Duan Ming: "I mean that the river was originally clean, but somehow, a fog suddenly rose over there." I've never seen such a big fog in my life, especially such a sharp fog, tsk, I can't see anything at all. ”
"That end?" Duan Ming followed Yu Lao Wu's hand and looked at the lower reaches of the Sulin River: "And then?" The unicorn genius is dead? ”
"That's right. When the fog was up, the fish-scale genius was crossing the river in a boat, and he played the tune thief well. As a result, he was caught up by the fog and directly caged. Yu Lao Wu continued: "It didn't take long for the song to stop. When the fog cleared, the corpse floated to the shore with the boat, and its face was covered with ice ballast, and it was a miserable one. Also, even the boat that pulled him was shattered. ”
"Fish scale genius?" There was a black line on Duan Ming's head, but he didn't correct it, so he continued to follow Yu Lao Wu's words: "It's really so evil? And the fog came without any signs? ”
"What are the signs? And so suddenly it came. By the way, the water was still bubbling! Yu Lao Wu shook his head: "Everyone said, this must be what the fish scale genius did to anger the river god." The river god killed him in the fog! ”
"Why do you have to say it's the river god?" Duan Ming asked, "Maybe that fog is poisonous?" Or maybe the Qilin genius is sick and dies violently. ”
"You don't know." Yu Lao Wu lowered his body and whispered in Duan Ming's ear: "We heard the cry of the river god and the sound of paddling!" ”
