"Auntie, do you live around here? How old are the children?" I asked slowly and with a serious look.
It's summer now. In the small town where my grandma and I lived, there were children swimming in the river and getting into accidents during the summer.
But we are in a small rural town, and Xihang is a big place.
I've never heard of people in the city liking to swim in the river, and the local management doesn't allow it either.
"The place we live is not too far from here, it is close to the Qiantang River." One of the aunts said.
As she spoke, other aunts also spoke:
"My child is ten years old."
"My child is thirteen years old and he is a very sensible boy."
After what they said to each other, I finally understood. That is, their children are not young, and they are definitely not the kind of children who have no ability to protect themselves when they are close to the water.
And they didn’t go swimming in the river by themselves. After all, the Qiantang River was well managed.
But not everyone can go down if they want to.
"That you……"
Just when I felt that everything about this matter was suspicious and was about to continue preparing, a familiar voice came: "Miss Zang, you are back."
The speaker was a woman in her thirties, with short and medium hair.
And behind her were four or five men in black suits.
Seeing this posture, the aunts and uncles all stopped talking.
"Team Leader Ye, you came here really quickly." After I saw who was coming, I smiled slightly.
Before my third uncle left, he said that Ye Qian would send someone to protect me, but I never thought that she would lead the team herself.
Ye Qian also smiled at me, and then whispered a few words in my ear.
After listening to her words, my face darkened. Then I said, "Uncles and aunties, everything you want is here. You can choose for yourself, and come to me to pay."
The aunts originally wanted to say something, but looking at Ye Qian and the black suit behind her, they finally fell silent.
And after watching the last of them finish their shopping and leave, I couldn't help but say, "Team Leader Ye, why don't you let me ask about this in detail?"
"And if something like this happens, won't your special team take care of it?"
If it was an ordinary dead person, their special team could ignore it, but as for what happened just now, my intuition tells me that there must be something wrong.
"Miss Zang, our special team has already started investigating this matter. And it's not that I won't let you take care of it, but..." Ye Qian said with an embarrassed look.
"What is it?" I don't like to be teased the most.
What's more, those uncles and aunts, I have confirmed before, they are all human beings, living ordinary people.
"Miss Zang, do you really want to know? But Mr. Wu told you to stay at Baishi's shop." After hesitating for a moment, Ye Qian said.
When I heard her words, I couldn't help laughing.
"Miss Zang, why are you laughing?" Faced with my sudden smile, Ye Qian's pretty brows wrinkled slightly.
"Team Leader Ye, I am an adult at the age of eighteen. I am an adult, not a child." I stopped smiling and looked up at Ye Qian: "If you really don't want me to get involved in this matter, I'm afraid these people
It won’t show up in my store at all.”
I have never doubted Ye Qian's character.
But as the leader of the special team in Xihang District, it is easy for her to drive away these uncles and aunts.
And the timing of her appearance was too coincidental.
After Ye Qian heard what I said, she was stunned for a moment and then laughed: "Well, the Zang family is indeed not simple. I thought I acted very naturally, but I didn't expect that I still didn't fool you."
"It's not a problem with your acting skills, it's just that... it doesn't fit in with your style of doing things, nor with the style of the Soul-Suppressing General."
I don't know about the soul-crushing generals in other places.
But I still know Kang Jinlong from Xihang, such an upright person.
How could it be possible to sit idly by and ignore it.
Hearing what I said, Ye Qian laughed loudly, and then said seriously: "Yes, I let them in deliberately. There is no way, Miss Zang, there have been several private exorcists involved in this matter before you
But the end result is that they are all gone."
What?
Not dead, not injured, but missing?
"Yes, it's not dead, it's not injured, it's missing. After they received the commission, they went to investigate the matter and disappeared the next day." Ye Qian also said in confusion about this matter.
But I looked in disbelief: "How is this possible? If you want to see someone alive and die, you want to see a corpse, how can you not see it? Even if you are targeted by a corpse king like Baili Liancheng, there will be remains left behind."
"It's absolutely true." Ye Qian said seriously: "So, our special team is unable to do anything about this matter."
"Does General Huadong Zhenhun know?" After thinking about it, I asked.
Actually, I want to ask, if the people in the special team are not good, what about the soul-suppressing soldiers under Kang Jinlong?
Have they visited the site to investigate?
"I know." Ye Qian nodded again: "And the soul-suppressing soldiers also went, but they all disappeared."
What?!
This answer definitely exceeded my expectations.
"Then what does East China Zhenhun General mean?" I asked seriously.
The folk exorcists disappeared, and the soul-suppressing soldiers disappeared.
So many children died there.
This thing is too weird.
"General Zhenhun means that everyone is strictly prohibited from approaching that area. And since that area was sealed off, no child has ever had an accident." Ye Qian did not hide anything from me, but told the truth.
"Then what?" I didn't quite believe it, "General Huadong Zhenhun, is this how to handle the matter?"
This is obviously a temporary solution rather than a permanent solution.
If there really is something there, wouldn't he run out on his own after being sealed off for too long?
By then, will it be possible to blockade the entire Xihang, or even the entire Central Plains?
"Miss Zang, things are not what you think. There is a reason why Zhenhun did what he did." Ye Qian looked embarrassed and lowered her voice.
"What's the reason?" I looked equally unhappy.
I don't really like official people, but I have a good impression of Kang Jinlong because he saved my life.
But if he is also a bureaucracy, then I can only say that I am blind.
"Miss Zang, East China Zhenhun General is not in East China right now." When she said this, Ye Qian deliberately lowered her voice and used a volume that only the two of us could hear.
I was startled when I heard what she said, "Why? Then where did he go?"
You must know that the soul-suppressing generals who are guarding various places will never leave easily without transfer orders.
Otherwise, what if something goes wrong where he is guarding?
"It was the commander-in-chief who asked General Zhenhun to go to Kyoto for a meeting." Who would have thought that Ye Qian would actually say this for a moment.
Grand commander?
The supreme leader who oversees all civil and official exorcists.
"Why? Did something happen?" I frowned after thinking for a moment. This chapter has been completed!
