Everyone ate and drank for a while, and in the blink of an eye it was dusk.

Jiang Yuan suddenly asked:

"I don't know what cases have been in our jurisdiction recently?"

In his position, Jiang Yuan didn't want to be idle.

One of the catchers hurriedly replied:

"Brother Yuan, don't worry, our brothers will deal with cases like petty theft. Brother Yuan, you just sit in this drunken tower every day!"

The beautiful woman Wang Yan also said with a smile:

"It is the honor of the slave family that Brother Yuan is willing to come, and all the expenses of Brother Yuan in the small shop, the slave family does not charge a penny, and it can be regarded as the slave family's filial piety to Brother Yuan. ”

Jiang Yuan is not proficient in solving the case, but he is not willing to intervene in detail. But big things, he still has to pay attention.

So Jiang Yuan asked:

"Recently on the outskirts of the city, is there a murder?"

Asking such a serious question, Wang Yan also found an excuse to leave.

It wasn't until after Wang Yan left that another catcher said:

"There are no murders, but ...... During this time, people often go missing by the river at night. Plus the girl who disappeared last night, if you count it...... Six people are missing. ”

Wang Li followed and said:

"We have also investigated these disappearances, and according to the investigation, it is likely to be ...... Demons haunt you. The matter has been reported, and it is estimated that it will be determined early tomorrow morning, and then it will be none of our business, and the night guard will deal with it. ”

"Night Guard?" Jiang Yuan remembered, as if he had heard Hong Kun say that the Night Guard Captain was a master of the Four Extremes Realm, "What are they doing?"

Just listen to Wang Li explain:

"Let's put it this way, let's take care of the affairs of the day and the affairs of the living, and the night guard will be in charge of the affairs of the night and the ...... Things that aren't clean. Although the night guards belong to the government, they have a lot of power, and they don't need to listen to the dispatch of the county commander at all, and only report to the Taishou. And the members are also sent by the top, and others are not qualified to enter at all. ”

Another catcher also chimed in:

"Let's investigate the case, and once it is classified as a supernatural event, it will be handed over to the night guard to deal with. And we are just demarcating the area to guard the area to prevent the people from entering by mistake. ”

Jiang Yuan's heart moved when he heard this, could this be the power in the official mansion that can subdue demons and subdue demons?

I only heard a catcher sigh and say:

"In the early days, the water of the Xuan River skyrocketed, and a lot of other things rushed in...... It was also from that time that the disappearance of the population began. ”

"Isn't it?" said another catcher, "the coffin that floated out of the river two days ago and the dead are terrible. ”

"Those dead people are dressed in the clothes of the ancients, and they are fine in the water. As a result, the boatman Wu Lao Er hooked one up with a hook, and it didn't take long for it to rot into a pile of stinky meat. Wu Lao'er, that guy was not disgusting, and he wanted to find some jewelry from the rotten meat, and he used a hook to fiddle for a long time before he found that those dead people didn't even have bones!"

And the coffin was washed up to the shore by the water, and the relief on it was so beautiful that it looked like it was used by the nobles. Later, the night guard came to pull the coffin away, and I secretly asked the royal official who collected the tax, and he said that it must be an ancient tomb near the upper reaches of the Xuan River, which was washed away by the torrential rain of the past two days, so that the coffin inside floated into the Xuan River before floating to us. ”

"Since then, people have been missing at night along the river. These days, I have been investigating on merchant ships, and I have heard from the merchants who stayed on the ships to keep vigil that they can often see a few red lanterns floating around on the riverbank in the middle of the night, and I don't know if it is related to the disappearance. ”

......

Jiang Yuan listened to the discussion of the catchers and frowned secretly.

I didn't expect that this peaceful Yang City could also see the shadow of demons.

He already had a plan in his heart, and secretly sneered:

"Demons, just right, I still need a lot of ghost energy......"

After a while, the people of the Giant Shark Gang sent someone to deliver the remaining one hundred taels of silver.

The feast ends before darkfall, and as darkness falls, people hide in their homes and do not go out easily.

The night belongs to something cold and unknown......

Wang Li knew that Jiang Yuan had no place to live, so he planned to use the share of money Jiang Yuan got today to rent a house.

Jiang Yuan had no opinion, but he didn't go back to the city, but said that he wanted to stay in the sky.

The crowd laughed knowingly, and then left. Only the proprietress Wang Yan was left with a flushed face, and her eyes were hesitant and worried.

After everyone left, Jiang Yuan pulled over the two tables and put them together as temporary beds, and said to Wang Yan, who was still left:

"The hostess please take care of herself, I only spend the night on the second floor, and I won't disturb you. ”

Wang Yan nodded with a red face, and went downstairs without saying a word.

The night soon enveloped the earth, Jiang Yuan stood outside the window and looked out, the beautiful scenery in the day looked eerie and terrifying in the night.

The moon rose to the dome, and the stars in the sky were like a pair of cold eyes, looking down on the earth mercilessly.

There was no longer a single figure on the riverside, and the weeping willows were like sinners hanging from the gallows. The surface of the Xuan River is even more deeply inky, which seems to contain an unknown mystery.

It was quiet all around, and occasionally a night breeze blew and blew the wide river to tumble.

The ships have been moored at the dock, and according to Wang Li, there are no fewer strange things in the water after night than on the ground, so it is also extremely dangerous to sail at night.

Jiang Yuan kept staring quietly out the window, not letting go of any movement in the night.

He didn't know if the disappearance was really related to demons. If yes, then will the demon appear tonight?

With a burst of footsteps, a soft halo slowly came up from downstairs.

Jiang Yuan turned his head and saw the beautiful woman Wang Yan walking towards her with an oil lamp in her hand.

She wore only a pink embroidered belly pocket on her upper body, and the large area of skin on her body was like congealed cream. Apparently she had just bathed, her wet hair hanging loosely and clinging to the fair flesh of her shoulders and back.

The makeup on the face has also been repainted, the red lips are full, and the eyeliner is high, which is not only more refined, but also looks more charming and seductive.

Wang Yan first avoided Jiang Yuan's gaze, then shook her lower lip with her teeth, raised her head and met her eyes.

She had been hesitant in her heart, but she didn't expect that this new catcher who had just known him for less than a day would actually want to stay here...... She wanted to refuse, but she couldn't...... This new chief is in the limelight, and even the help of the Giant Shark Gang has to back down in front of him, and his restaurant still needs his care in the future, how can he refuse him as a common person?

Not to mention...... This new chief looks young and capable, Sven is kind, and he is not ugly, Wang Yan feels a strong side from him, somehow, Wang Yan is not very repulsed in his heart......

Seeing Wang Yan's appearance, Jiang Yuan already understood.

He abruptly chose to stay here tonight, and it was not surprising that the catchers were about to misunderstand, and even Wang Yan was also misunderstood.

Jiang Yuan didn't mind other people's opinions, he turned around, turned his eyes to the window, turned his back to Wang Yan and said:

"Hostess, you're mistaken, I really just want to spend the night here, I don't have any other ideas. ”

Wang Yan still walked slowly towards Jiang Yuan, in her opinion, Jiang Yuan was just duplicitous and wanted to be captured. Man...... It's all like that.

She put the oil lamp on the table, and the person was already standing behind Jiang Yuan.

Wang Yan's towering chest couldn't help but rise and fall rapidly, and in the midst of shame, there was also a burst of excitement and excitement.

She began to feel hot all over, and it was the first time she had taken the initiative to deal with a man like this.

"Brother Yuan......" Wang Yan screamed softly, then opened her jade arms with soft lines and hugged Jiang Yuan from behind.

Jiang Yuan smiled and struggled slightly.

Wang Yan's whole person was rebounded by the huge force and took a few steps back, almost not falling, she couldn't help but look at Jiang Yuan in surprise.

Seeing that Jiang Yuan didn't know how to do it, he opened his mouth and said:

"Boss, you really misunderstood, please go back. ”

Wang Yan was stunned, her face was ashamed and annoyed, she stomped her feet and opened her red lips:

"You ......"

Eventually, she embarrassedly picked up the oil lamp on the table and walked briskly downstairs.

The light on the second floor dimmed again, and Jiang Yuan stood quietly in the darkness alone, but his eyes were bright.

He had seen a faint red lantern floating on the riverside path in the distance. Sometimes they walk along the road, sometimes they weave through the trees.

The red lantern is strange and evil, and it is particularly abrupt and strange in this dark night.

"Is it finally there?"

Jiang Yuan propped up the window edge with one hand, and the whole person jumped out of the window.

When he landed on the ground on the street, Jiang Yuan touched the knife on his waist and walked briskly towards the red lantern.
