While Lin Yi was fishing on the river, Xiao Se also received a letter from his father.
Before reading the letter, Xiao Se had a guess in his mind. Maybe he had escaped a disaster before, and his father sent a letter to question her, or maybe he gave her an instruction to die?
Xiao Se sighed softly, remembering what Ji Yi said before, no matter when she thinks the worst about people, she can be prepared for any situation.
She now thinks of her father to the most ruthless level, so no matter what she sees in this letter, she will not be sad.
But what surprised her was that the letter did not contain what she thought, but only some words of care and concern for her.
Asked her how her life was in Xingsha City and how her experience was going. Between the lines, there was an old father's cordial condolences to his child. If she hadn't experienced an assassination just last night, she would probably still be very moved at this moment.
This letter should have been sent out some time ago. It is not difficult to guess that when the letter arrives, it will also cooperate with his old father to play a game of love for his son.
After thinking about it, Xiao Se just felt that these words were very disgusting.
He burned the letter casually, and Xiao Se's heart became much firmer.
Ji Yi and Wu Yun were right, she should live for herself, at least, for those who care about her, rather than die for someone who doesn't care about her.
After regaining her composure, Xiao Se prepared to go to work. She was still the acting chief arrester of Jingyesi, but she couldn't be like a certain acting chief arrester who had been absent from work for a long time but went on a business trip. Jingyesi was currently short of manpower and had more employees.
place.
As soon as they arrived at Jingyesi, Chen Huaiyuan hurried over and told her that there was a case.
Xingsha City Jingyesi has not handled a case for a long time. Although the city is not peaceful during this period, there are really not many things that ordinary patrol officers can deal with.
What Chen Huaiyuan talked about this time was not to report a crime, but someone went to the county government a few days ago to report a crime, saying that his son and daughter-in-law went to the countryside to visit relatives, but they did not return for several days and there was no news. The mother at home sent fellow villagers to inquire, but they stopped by.
My fellow villagers never came back again.
The man suspected that there was some trouble on the road, so he went to the Yamen to report the incident.
The county government did not bother Jingyesi immediately. After all, not everything was related to gods and ghosts. If there were no obvious signs of evil, the county government would usually handle it first.
Therefore, the county government also sent two good people to Na Guyue Village to investigate.
After this visit, he never came back.
The county government officer then went around and asked if anyone had passed by Guyue Village recently. After asking around, he found out that the last time he had been to Guyue Village and returned was ten days ago.
He said there were no problems in the village.
Although Guyue Village is in the countryside, it is only thirty or forty miles away from Xingsha City. This distance is not far, and there are no bandits along the way.
In the Xingsha City area, there are very few mountain bandits, and the majority are water thieves. Most of the water thieves are concentrated in the north, where there is a port and there are many merchants passing by. The water thieves also rob big families.
Killing poor people brings little profit and ruins the reputation. It is really not worth the gain.
Therefore, there are very few water thieves operating in the south, not to mention none, but very rare. Therefore, the people in Nancheng are poorer and relatively safe.
The county government sent out detectives to investigate, hoping to rule out some hungry and impatient water thieves robbing civilians. Such small thieves could be dealt with by a skilled detective.
Even if it can't be solved, it won't mean that people can't come back.
Now, the county government felt that it could not be settled, so they quickly came to Jingyesi.
When you come to Jingyesi, whether you are facing monsters, monsters, or ordinary bad people, there will always be a way.
Chen Huaiyuan came to Xiao Se to ask how to arrange manpower for this case.
According to convention, unqualified patrol officers will not go out of the city to perform tasks alone, but now Jingyesi only has four graded officers, and Chen Huaiyuan himself does not have very strong combat effectiveness, so he can only be used as an auxiliary.
Shang Chang'er had just joined Jingyesi and had little experience. He wanted to arrange for Niu Er to take Shang Chang'er out with him, but Xiao Se had previously arranged for Shang Chang'er to investigate the rumors about the Demon Emperor's secret realm.
Only then did Chen Huaiyuan come to ask for instructions to see what Xiao Se's plan was.
Xiao Se immediately became vigilant after hearing Chen Huaiyuan's case report.
Being able to ban an evil spirit in a village is definitely not a simple role. If two ninth-level people are there, it is impossible to deal with it, but the risk is very high.
Xiao Se thought, she still had to do this.
But she has been in a bad situation recently. Her father failed in the assassination this time and may be planning another assassination. This case may be a trap.
Xiao Se then thought about it again, this case had happened for so long, and he had only experienced the assassination yesterday, and he had never shown his cultivation before. It would be too flattering to say that he laid a trap for her so far in advance.
Probably just a coincidence.
"I am personally responsible for this case. It is enough to bring Shang Chang'er and Niu Er with me. I will leave it to you to take charge of this case. I can rest assured that you can handle the matter."
Chen Huaiyuan: "..."
I am so reliable, wasn’t it because you forced me to come out?
He originally thought that he came to Jingyesi just to practice and gain some experience in the world. Unexpectedly, within a few days of joining Jingyesi, his superiors arranged for him to take charge of the entire Jingyesi.
Is it necessary to talk about basic laws for promotion?
The most annoying thing is that the salary has not increased at all, and working for these people is completely in vain!
Chen Huaiyuan brought three horses to Xiao Se, one was good and two were obviously worse.
The good horse is Guan Buping's Feidu, because the entire Jingyesi Yamen can't get three horses now. The horses that died in Qinghe Village before were a huge loss, so they can only replace them now.
Two horses.
There is no other way but to let the private horse that is not in charge be used by others. Anyway, this is not the first time that Feidu has been ridden by others.
The group of three people quickly headed towards Guyue Village, and it only took half an hour to arrive outside Guyue Village.
From a distance, Xiao Se saw the smoke from the cooking pots. It was the time for the morning meal. The smoke from the cooking pots was burning in the village, indicating that there were people eating and drinking.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Without rushing into the village, Xiao Se stopped and listened for a while. There were sounds of children crying and tables and chairs being dragged. It sounded very normal and nothing unusual.
Xiao Se said: "At first glance, there is nothing wrong with it. What do you think?"
Niu Er thought for a while and said: "I can't see anything, but Brother Guan said before that the more normal we handle the case, the more dangerous it will be."
This is because it is not a trivial matter for Yasushi to handle. Now that something has happened and it seems normal, it is not normal in itself.
Therefore, the calmer and peaceful the surface is, the greater the danger, because the investigators do not see the danger and tend to take it lightly.
On the contrary, if you clearly see that something is wrong and you are on guard, it will not be so dangerous.
It was also the first time for Shang Chang'er to handle a case as an official, and she felt excited and exciting. At this time, she also wanted to show her abilities, so she took the initiative to ask Ying: "Why don't you wait here, I will go to the front to explore
road?"
"No need."
Xiao Se was seriously influenced by Lin Yi's "no separation of troops" mentality. The more times like this, the more taboo he was to be separated from his teammates.
If the situation inside is unclear, wouldn't Shang Chang'er get in for free? It would be troublesome if the enemy caught Shang Chang'er and threatened her.
"We don't have to go in and wait for them to come out."
As he spoke, Xiao Se slapped the surrounding vegetation with his palm, swept it to the entrance of the village, and then used the fire talisman to light it on fire.
For a moment, thick smoke billowed and the cave was illuminated by fire.
In broad daylight, the fire may not be obvious, but such a big smoke can still be seen at a glance.
When people in the village saw this unusual situation, they naturally wanted to come out to investigate.
If they don't come out, the weirdness behind it will be exposed.
"Wonderful!"
Shang Chang'er couldn't help but praise him, feeling that he had learned something again.
The kitten hiding in Xiao Se's arms poked its head out, moved its nose, and meowed a few words in Xiao Se's ear.
She was telling Xiao Se that the village was full of ghosts and smelled of many dead souls.
Maybe, there are no living people in this village.
But not long after, a group of people appeared at the entrance of the village. They came looking at the thick smoke and wanted to figure out what was going on here. At a glance, Xiao Se saw that they were no different from living people.
"Here's someone. What should we do next? Go into the village and have a look?"
"They are not human."
Xiao Se said in a deep voice.
If Wu Yun hadn't reminded her, she would have thought that these people were alive, but Wu Yun said that these people had the aura of dead souls in them, which meant that they were all dead.
But Xiao Se can also hear their breathing and heartbeat. Can dead people do this?
Two words quickly came to her mind.
"Yanshi!"
When she and Lin Yi were guarding the South City Gate, she felt the aura of Yanshi. Later, when Lin Yi went out, she also smelled the aura of the dead souls.
At that time, Yanshi was causing trouble.
It seems that today's game is really aimed at her. The other party may not be someone sent by her father, but the other party's purpose is to kill her.
Clay figurines also have a three-part fire nature, and they are always wanted to be killed by others, which makes Xiao Se feel angry.
When the people in the village saw the three Xiao Se, they immediately got into a mess. Some were carrying hoes, some were carrying harpoons, and they rushed over calling for friends.
Xiao Se was not used to them. She had bows and arrows ready right away. She was also proficient in riding and shooting. She took out the bow and arrows, set five arrows on them, and shot them out, hitting the necks of the five people, killing them all with one blow.
Although they are dead, they seem to be able to die again.
The villagers were not afraid of death. Some threw hoes, some threw stones, and they just threw whatever they had.
Before Xiao Se could show his cultivation of Talisman, he took advantage of his luck and counterattacked all the thrown objects. For a moment, a large area of villagers fell down.
With Qi training in the Xiao Se Five Qi realm, he is enough to crush all the villagers.
However, looking at the corpses on the ground, Xiao Se suddenly realized, why did Master Yan send these puppets to die?
It is not easy to refine so many puppets. There must be a reason why they were destroyed so easily.
Ah Qi, who was residing in Shang Chang'er's body, was a little excited. She felt the power of the devil. There were people of the same kind here. If she could swallow one of the same kind, she would be able to recover faster. By then, it would be just a thought to control Shang Chang'er.
