Chapter 119 Alarmed the state capital, the mysterious polling bureau!

As the ghost ship gradually departed, the white mist didn't last long before dissipating suddenly.

The pale moonlight shone on the calm river, as if everything that happened just now was a dream of everyone.

The villagers stood on the bank and looked at each other, and then looked into the river, where could there be any boats?

What made the villagers even more weird was that the fat man kicked open the lid of the coffin and jumped out in desperation.

Isn't this the legendary fraudulent corpse?

The confusion and fear on everyone's faces were clearly visible, so that no one dared to approach the river, but looked around curiously from a distance.

At this moment, only Feng Yun, Kong Jie, and the smoker not far away were standing by the river.

Kong Jie was aware of the whole plan, but he never expected that the ghost ship mentioned by the few people was not an adjective.

The boat appeared with the white mist, which was strange.

And when the white mist disappeared, the ship also disappeared.

If the things that happened before made Kong Jie feel that it was difficult to tell the truth from reality, then what he saw just now is an indisputable fact.

He could even clearly remember the dilapidated appearance of the ghost ship, even the rust spots on the ship.

Until now, there is still a stench in the air, which tells Kong Jie over and over again that everything that happened just now is true.

This made Kong Jie look suspiciously at Feng Yun next to him, and Feng Yun was also looking at the direction of the river, frowning slightly.

The river god's sudden betrayal was unexpected even by Feng Yun.

So much so that in Feng Yun's heart, he couldn't help but start to guess the attributes of the river god.

What role does the river god play in this case?
Could it be that, as Fatty had guessed earlier, the river god and the evil spirits that caused troubles were conspiring together?

The smoker who was not far away was smoking a pipe at the moment, looking suspiciously at the fat man standing next to the coffin on the bamboo raft.

The smoker didn't know the reason, so he felt a little weird about the sudden appearance of the fat man.

Coupled with the elusive ghost ship just now, the smoker began to be very curious about the polling bureau.

In the short time just now, the smoker has glanced in Feng Yun's direction more than once.

What kind of department is this polling bureau, and the way of handling the case is really unheard of.

The few people standing on the shore had their own thoughts, but why not the three people on the bamboo raft?
Until now, the fat man is still sticking his waist in, cursing in the direction where the ghost ship disappeared. In his mouth, the river god has become a scumbag who can't get on the stage at all.

For this case, the fat man did pay a lot, and he was a bride and a dead ghost, but in the end it was nothing.

This naturally made the fat man more and more aggrieved, and he could only vent his dissatisfaction in this way.

Ma Linger and Yan Qilin didn't expect that the river god, who had been very cooperative from the beginning to the end, would actually hide such a trick.

The ghost boat tried its best to attract them, but in the end it made a wedding dress for the river god.

The fat man seemed to be tired of cursing, so he ended his "kind" greetings to the river god.

He looked back at Ma Linger and Yan Qilin standing behind him and said:

"That old thing is really cunning and cunning, no wonder he was so cooperative before, he must have thought about it a long time ago, and wanted to use this opportunity to escape.

Now I seriously suspect that the old river god may have done all these things that happened.

Didn't the director say that before?When the river god has no incense for a long time, he will become a kappa who eats people.

No one can trust this kind of immortal! "

Hearing Fatty's words, Ma Ling'er's face obviously became a little weird.

After all, among the earth immortals killed by the fat man, many of them are the foundation of the Ma family.

The fat man soon realized his slip of the tongue, and immediately looked at Ma Linger to make amends:
"I'm talking about those wild immortals, except for the five immortals in our hometown!"

Ma Ling'er rolled her eyes at the fat man, and then said helplessly:
"It's useless to say these things now, what shall we do next?
The God of the River played the golden cicada to escape its shell, but it put us all in a passive state.

Now that the ghost ship has disappeared again, how can we lure it out again?
You can't do something for nothing again, can you? "

"Certainly not."

Yan Qilin thought about it and shook his head, he was calm on the surface, but his heart was actually in a mess.

In desperation, the three of them had no choice but to row the bamboo raft back to the shore first. After seeing the three of Fatty ashore, the smoker looked at Fatty with some doubts and said:
"What's going on, aren't you dead?"

Hearing this, the fat man quickly spit three mouthfuls:
"Don't say such unlucky things, we need to handle the case.

Who the hell knew that the old river god was so cunning that he caused us to investigate the case for so many days and go back to before liberation overnight. "

Just as the fat man was complaining speechlessly, on the path in the distance, several people were walking towards the Yong'an River while talking about something.

"Yan County is really not peaceful these days. There is a body missing from the Lin'an City Hospital. I heard that something happened on the Yong'an River again, and everything has come together."

The few people who are talking about are the reporters who came from the state capital.

These reporters are not people from small channel media, but state media reporters.

Nowadays, the case of missing corpses in the hospital and the rumored drowning incident in the Yong'an River have attracted a lot of attention.

Many emotional family members gather at the hospital gate every day, which also allows the citizens to more or less understand what happened.

The reason why the state capital reporters came specially was because there was a very strange thing involved in it.

"It is reasonable to say that such a big event has received such a high degree of attention, and the local media will definitely pay attention to it from time to time and make follow-up reports.

But the strange thing is that the local media did not report any relevant information, and even the local reporters seemed unmoved at all. "

It was an official female reporter from the state capital who spoke. After hearing these words, the others nodded.

"It must be the secret control of the relevant departments. This also shows from the side that whether it is the missing body in the hospital or the Yong'an River incident, it is not a light incident."

The middle-aged man in the lead is relatively calmer than other young reporters, so he also has a deeper view on this matter:

"I heard that the Yong'an River area has been blocked by officers and soldiers, which means that the Yanjun Military Mansion has already started to intervene.

There must be a reason why local journalists cannot report.

But our state government's official media came forward, presumably they would not dare to stop it.

This time we have only one purpose, and that is to find out what happened as soon as possible.

The public has the right to know, and we also have an obligation to let the public know exactly what happened. "

While talking, this group of people gradually approached the defense line of Yong'an River.

Looking at the officers and soldiers standing solemnly on the top not far away, the middle-aged reporter who led the way stepped forward first and showed his badge.

"We are reporters from state media, and we are here to learn about what happened along the Yong'an River.

We have the right to monitor interviews, please let us go. "

From these words, it can be seen that the middle-aged reporter is very sophisticated, and he directly moved out of the rights granted by the court, which also made the nature of the conversation between the two parties suddenly increase.

After learning the identity and intention of the visitor, the soldiers naturally did not dare to delay, and hurried to where Kong Jie and Feng Yun were.

Kong Jie frowned when he learned that the reporter from the state government media had come:

"It seems that even the state capital has got the news, and things will be troublesome now."

While speaking, Kong Jie looked at Feng Yun worriedly:
"Director Feng, this is a person from the state capital, and it's an official media, I'm afraid it's not easy for us to stop him?"

Hearing this, Feng Yun shook his head calmly without thinking about it:

"No matter who it is, it must be intercepted outside the defense line, and no one is allowed to approach, not even reporters from the state capital."

"But……"

Kong Jie said hesitantly when he heard the words:
"I'm afraid it's not easy to handle, the reporters from the state government's official media must have some kind of inspiration to come here.

It seems that rumors about this case are getting louder and louder outside, if we stop these reporters again..."

Before Kong Jie finished speaking, Feng Yun took a meaningful look at Kong Jie:
"Director Kong, I understand what you said.

But you also see that the polling bureau has been handling the case for a while, and you don't want the current incident to be reported by reporters, right? "

Feng Yun's words immediately made Kong Jie stunned.

Indeed, these words awakened Kong Jie, and Kong Jie soon realized that Feng Yun's decision was justified.

During the period of contact with the polling bureau, he could feel many strange things.

He already had some kind of bold guess in his heart. Although he has not witnessed it with his own eyes, at least these things cannot be publicized.

It can be known internally, but it must not be made public.

So after a while, Kong Jie looked at the soldiers who came to report with some confusion:
"Didn't you hear Director Feng's words? No one is allowed to approach."

The soldiers who received the order quickly returned to the line of defense and informed the others of Kong Jie's order.

The soldiers who had read the report came back, and the reporters were already confident, thinking that they would be able to go in and conduct interviews immediately, but they never thought that after the soldiers came back, they just whispered in a low voice, and then stood back to their original positions .

"What do you mean? Are you planning not to let it go?"

The female reporter looked at the soldiers in surprise and questioned them, but the soldiers stared straight ahead expressionlessly and did not respond at all.

This silent gesture has undoubtedly interpreted the attitude of the Yanjun Military Mansion. The middle-aged man in the lead frowned instantly, and said angrily with a displeased expression:

"You see clearly, we are the official media of the state capital.

If you don't report what you know, aren't you afraid of being blamed by the state government?

Things are getting bigger and bigger now, how dare you hide it like this? "

Other reporters also chimed in, but their words did not pose any threat to the officers and soldiers who formed the line of defense.

After all, they are only performing tasks, even if the sky falls, they don't need to stand up to it.

All the officers and soldiers remained unmoved, still strictly guarding the line of defense. The reporters' anger was like punching the cotton, which was quite weak.

"Boss, what should we do now?
Yanjun Military Mansion is obviously determined to conceal the news, we can't just return without success like this, right? "

In the face of other people's inquiries, the leading reporter also seemed a little anxious:

"How can this Yanjun military mansion be so bold that we dare to stop it?"

Several other people also had the same doubts, but obviously it was meaningless to entangle with these soldiers, and they couldn't see the generals of this team at all for a while, so they naturally fell into a predicament.

However, the reporters did not leave because of this, but kept discussing other ways not far away.

Everyone didn't want to give up on this, because the more the Yanjun Military Mansion had such an attitude, the more it would give people the feeling that there is no silver 300 taels here.

The leading reporter has already started calling, and the rest of them can only patiently wait for an opportunity to break through the current predicament.

……

On the other side, Feng Yun, who had just blocked the state government's official media, walked towards the fat man and the others as if nothing had happened.

Kong Jie, who was following behind, looked much more serious, obviously caught in a dilemma.

Now he can only put all his treasures on the polling bureau. If the case can be solved as soon as possible, there may be a turning point for this matter.

Otherwise, if people in the state capital were alarmed, he would have to bear great responsibility.

Fatty, who didn't know anything at this time, immediately asked for help after seeing Feng Yun coming:
"Boss, what should we do now?
That bastard fled away on a ghost ship, and our plan completely failed. "

However, what Fatty and the others didn't expect was that after hearing this, Feng Yun suddenly asked back:
"Have you failed? How do I feel that this is just right now?"

Feng Yun's words made the three of them look at each other in blank dismay, not understanding what they meant.

Looking at the bewildered three people, Feng Yun sighed softly, and then said earnestly:

"The polling bureau handles cases, folklore knowledge and professional ability are indispensable.

But beyond that, you have to learn to be flexible.

Because not everything will happen exactly as you expected, once an accident occurs, you will completely lose your sense of proportion, how can you be independent in the future?
You have not found nothing from the investigation of the case until now, at least in the few minutes when the ghost ship appeared, many speculations can be corroborated. "

Feng Yun reminded Fatty and the others, which made them seriously recall what happened just now.

After a while, Yan Qilin and Ma Linger's eyes lit up, but the fat man was still frowning in confusion, as if he still didn't understand.

"When the ghost ship appeared, it was extremely cloudy, so it condensed into a white mist.

The ghost ship appeared with the white mist, and then disappeared suddenly in the white mist. In other words, maybe this ghost ship is not within the scope of our common knowledge. "

Ma Linger's words made Yan Qilin nod quickly, he looked at the fat man and said:
"It's the same as the extremely dark place under Liuhuo Avenue before."

Fatty belatedly said suspiciously:

"You mean to say that the medium we used to go to the land of extreme darkness was the bus.

And this ghost ship is our medium leading to an unknown place? "

There was a flash of approval in Feng Yun's eyes, the three of them had good comprehension, and they understood most things at one point.

The characteristic of yin qi is that it cannot stay in ordinary places for too long, except in places with difficult geomantic omens, such as cemeteries, or places where evil spirits breed.

Therefore, for Yaoxie, the higher the Taoism, the lighter the yin energy on the body.

This is true regardless of demons or ghosts.

When it really reaches a certain level, it can even hide among people, no different from others.

So for the team members, Yin Qi itself is a traceable clue.

The sudden appearance of the ghost ship caused a large amount of Yin Qi to permeate into fog, which meant that the place where the ghost ship itself was located must be a place filled with Yin Qi.

Before that, the team members had already traveled the entire lower reaches of the Yong'an River.

Behind is Phoenix Mountain, the land of Fengshui in Naiyan County, so it is naturally impossible to have such a place filled with yin.

Therefore, it can be deduced that the place where the ghost ship haunts is not an ordinary place, but a special realm similar to the extremely dark place.

Some people like to call this kind of place an enchantment, but in folklore, this is called terrain seal technique.

Ghost hitting the wall is a kind of enchantment. People in the enchantment will be affected by Yin Qi and will exist in an illusory place, doing things they think are normal.

And the entry and exit of this ghost ship seems to point to this conjecture.

Perhaps there is a special barrier around the Yong'an River, and the only medium through which this barrier enters and exits is the ghost ship.

With Feng Yun's reminder, the three of them quickly sorted out this train of thought.

But then, the fat man said helplessly:

"Even if we know that there may be an enchantment, we are not faced with the problem of how to attract ghost ships.

That old Yin is more hateful than I think, if it weren't for him, maybe we would have been on a ghost ship by now, and we could find out! "

Indeed, in the eyes of the three, this is the most difficult problem.

If they can't attract the ghost ship, they may lose the medium to go to the special enchantment, and the old river god suddenly ran away, no one is sure what accident will happen later.

If the old river god really joins forces with the evil spirits, it is inevitable that he will not be prepared, and the investigation by the polling bureau will only be more passive.

After hearing what the fat man said, Yan Qilin shook his head and said seriously:
"It's not difficult to lure a ghost ship, the hard part is to prevent the river god from making trouble!"

Ma Linger immediately said:

"That's right, we were able to attract the ghost ship before, which shows that our thinking is correct, and the ghost ship is indeed aimed at the corpse.

We have held funerals before, paved the way with paper money, and called the Quartet.

It was because the river god suddenly ran away that disrupted our position.

Next, we just need to continue the river sacrifice and finish the whole ceremony, maybe we can attract ghost ships again. "

"what?"

Hearing this, the fat man was a little anxious:
"The last step of the river ceremony is to sink the coffin to the bottom of the water. If you want to kill me, just tell me."

"Push!"

Ma Ling'er was amused by the fat man's words, and then explained:

"Originally, according to our plan, the river festival should be able to attract ghost ships without going to the last step.

But now, because the old river god suddenly ran away, he disrupted our position and missed the ghost ship.

So you should continue to perform the river sacrifice ceremony, but you don't need to lie in the coffin yourself.

Paper doubles can also work, can't they? "

Hearing this, Fatty's eyes lit up quickly, the old river god's sudden escape made Fatty stuck in the corner.

After hearing what a few people said, the fat man suddenly realized.

Continue the ceremony. If the necessary factor for the appearance of the ghost ship is the corpse, replace the fat man with a paper doll, and continue to complete the river sacrifice ceremony, then the ghost ship should appear again.

But the premise is that the old river god who runs away with the ghost boat will not make trouble.

Otherwise, once the old river god said something to the haunting evil spirit, it might be difficult for this ghost ship to appear again.

Therefore, Fatty and the others quickly began to think about how to prevent this.

But after thinking about it, what could they do if the mouth was on the old river god?

In this way, it seems that the progress of the whole case has once again fallen into a predicament.

No one can bet that the old river god has nothing to do with the threat behind it.

Otherwise, if the ghost ship appears and boards rashly, it may fall into a passive state.

Just as several people were thinking about it, Feng Yun simply said three words, which made the three of them suddenly understand.

"Yin-yang buckle!"

After Yan Qilin and Ma Linger heard these words, the gloom on their faces disappeared immediately.

But the fat man's expression changed after hearing these three words, and he even looked a little awkward.

"Fatty, because of the case, I wronged you!"

Ma Linger quickly patted the fat man on the shoulder and said something, then hurriedly walked towards the direction of the villagers.

When Yan Qilin passed by the fat man, he also patted the fat man on the shoulder, did not speak, but nodded towards the fat man with eyes full of affirmation.

The fat man stood there in a daze for a long time, finally heaved a deep sigh, followed behind the two with a lonely face, and returned to the Zhang family's courtyard again.

Seeing such weird reactions from several people, Kong Jie who was standing beside Feng Yun asked in a daze:

"Director Feng, what is the yin-yang button you're talking about?"

Regarding the questions Kong Jie asked, Feng Yun rarely concealed anything.

In his opinion, everyone is a member of the official family, and there will be places where Kong Jie's help will be needed in the future. It is not a bad thing for him to know more about the polling bureau.

"Yin-yang buckle is actually a kind of folk magic in essence, which originated from witchcraft and then spread in the rivers and lakes.

Especially in the mountain city area, it was relatively common in ancient times.

The Lover's Gu in Dianzhou and the Yin-Yang Button in Mountain City are the two most well-known sorcery in ancient times.

When a woman in a mountain city gets married, she always serves a mandarin duck pot to eat with the man.

But this mandarin duck pot is made with a special method, once you eat the food in the mandarin duck pot, you will form a yin and yang bond with this man.

Once the yin and yang knots are formed, a man and a woman will live together in life, and die together in death.

If one party breaks the taboo set during the knot, the consequences will be very serious.

It was only later that this technique spread among the people and gradually changed.

The yin-yang button is no longer limited to two living people, even dead people.

As long as those who were once married, put down the mandarin duck pot and set up the yin and yang buttons, even the dead can be called back to see each other.

They are always fastened to each other, a stranger eats a red pot, and a dead soul eats a white pot, which can continue the overnight bond and comfort the lovesickness. "

Feng Yun's words made Kong Jie puzzled:
"Director Feng, are you talking about a legend? I don't understand how this has anything to do with what's happening right now? How can I use it?"

Hearing this, Feng Yun smiled mysteriously:

"It's useless to say more, it's better to go and see, you will understand."
