Chapter 27 Missing ([-])

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

Jiang Yuan suddenly asked:

"I don't know if there are any recent cases in our jurisdiction?"

In his position, Jiang Yuan is unwilling to just sit idle.

A policeman hastily replied:
"Brother Yuan, don't worry, we brothers will handle cases like petty theft. Brother Yuan, you can just sit in this Zuixiaolou every day!"

The beautiful woman Wang Yan also said with a smile:
"Brother Yuan is willing to come. It's an honor for my family. My family doesn't charge you a cent for everything that Brother Yuan spends in the small shop. It's considered my family's filial piety to Brother Yuan."

Jiang Yuan is not proficient in solving cases, so he is unwilling to intervene in detail.But big things, he still has to pay attention.

So Jiang Yuan asked:

"The suburbs are the closest. Is there a murder case?"

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

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

"There is no homicide, but. During this time, people often disappeared by the river at night. Including the girl who disappeared last night, six people have disappeared."

Wang Li then said:

"We have also investigated these disappearances. According to the investigation, it is likely to be... a ghost. The matter has been reported. It is estimated that it will be qualitative in the morning tomorrow, and then it will not be our business. The night guards will deal with it. .”

"Night guards?" Jiang Yuan just remembered that he seemed to have heard Hong Kun say that the captain of the night guards is a master of the four extremes, "What do they do?"

Just listen to Wang Li's explanation:
"Let's put it this way, let's catch up and be responsible for the daytime affairs and the living people's affairs; and the night patrols are responsible for the night affairs and those unclean things. Although the night patrols belong to the government, they have a lot of power , there is no need to listen to the orders of the county magistrate, only to report to the prefect. And the members are also dispatched by the top, and others are not qualified to enter."

Another detective echoed:
"We investigate the case. Once it is classified as a supernatural event, it will be handed over to the night patrol. And we just demarcate the area for security to prevent people from entering by mistake."

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

Only one of the arresters sighed and said:
"The water in the Xuan River rose sharply in the early days, and many other things rushed in. The disappearance of people also began at that time."

"Isn't it?" Another policeman also said, "The coffin and those dead that floated from the river two days ago are scary."

"Those dead people were wearing the clothes of the ancients, and they were fine in the water. But the boatman Wu Laoer hooked one up, and it rotted into a pile of stinky meat after a while. Wu Laoer is not disgusting, and wants to I found some jewelry from the rotten meat, and fiddled with the hook for a long time before I realized that those dead people didn't even have bones!"

"And the coffin was washed to the shore by the water. The embossment on it was so beautiful that it was used by nobles. Later, the night guards came and took the coffin away. I secretly asked the royal official who collected taxes, and he said It must be an ancient tomb near the upper reaches of the Xuan River, which was washed away by the torrential rain in the past two days, causing the coffin inside to float into the Xuan River before reaching us."

"Since then, people have been missing at night by the river. I have been investigating on merchant ships these days, and I heard from merchants who stayed on board at night that they can often see a few red lanterns floating on the river bank in the middle of the night. I know if it is related to the disappearance case."

Jiang Yuan frowned secretly listening to the policemen's discussion.

Unexpectedly, in this peaceful Yangcheng, the shadow of demons can be seen.

He already had calculations in his heart, secretly sneered and said:
"A demon? Just right, I still need a lot of ghost energy."

After a while, the members of the Jusha Gang sent someone to deliver the remaining 100 taels of silver.

The feast ended before nightfall, and as darkness fell, people hid at home and stopped going 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 money Jiang Yuan earned today to rent a house.

Jiang Yuan also had no objection, but he didn't go back to the city, but said that he wanted to take advantage of the hangover.

All the arresters laughed knowingly, and then left one after another.Only the proprietress Wang Yan was left with a flushed face, hesitation and apprehension in her eyes.

After everyone left, Jiang Yuan pulled two tables together to make a temporary bed, and he said to Wang Yan who was still behind:

"Miss Boss, please feel free to do so. I'm only staying on the second floor for one night, and I won't disturb you."

Wang Yan blushed and nodded, and went downstairs without saying a word.

Night quickly enveloped the earth, Jiang Yuan stood outside the window and looked out, the beautiful scenery in the daytime looked eerie and terrifying in the night.

The moon rose to the top of the dome, and the stars in the sky were like pairs of cold eyes, looking down mercilessly on the earth and the common people.

There was no one to be seen by the river, and the weeping willows looked like sinners hanging on the gallows with disheveled hair.The surface of the Xuanhe River is even more dark in color, which seems to contain unknown mysteries.

The surrounding area is quiet, and occasionally a gust of night wind blows in, causing the wide river to roll.

The ships were already moored at the pier. According to Wang Li, there were no fewer strange things in the water than on the ground after nightfall, so sailing at night was extremely dangerous.

Jiang Yuan has been staring out of the window quietly, not letting go of any movement during the night.

He didn't know if the disappearance was really related to ghosts.If so, will the ghost appear tonight.

Following 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 with an oil lamp in her hand.

She was only wearing a pink embroidered apron on her upper body, and the large area of ​​skin exposed on her body was like cream.It was obvious that she had just bathed, and her wet hair was hanging loosely, tightly attached to the tender white flesh on her shoulders and back.

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

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

She was always hesitating in her heart. She didn't expect that the new police chief who had just known him for less than a day would stay here overnight. She wanted to refuse, but she couldn't say anything. This new chief was in the limelight, and even the giant shark Bangbang 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 commoner?
What's more, this Xin Shizhang looks young and capable, gentle and kind-hearted, and not ugly. Wang Yan feels a strong side from him. For some reason, Wang Yan doesn't feel very repelled
Seeing Wang Yan's appearance, Jiang Yuan already understood.

He abruptly chose to stay here tonight, and all the arresters misunderstood, even Wang Yan misunderstood, which is not surprising.

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

"Miss Boss, you misunderstood, I really just want to spend the night here, I have no other ideas."

Wang Yan was still slowly walking towards Jiang Yuan. In her opinion, Jiang Yuan was just duplicity and playing hard to get.Men are like this.

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

Wang Yan's towering chest couldn't help heaving rapidly, and amidst the shame, there was also a burst of excitement and thrill.

She began to feel hot all over, and it was the first time for her to take the initiative to a man like this.

"Brother Yuan." Wang Yan called softly, then opened her soft and beautiful arms, and hugged Jiang Yuan from behind.

Jiang Yuan smiled and shook his body lightly.

Wang Yan's whole body was bounced back a few steps by the huge force, and she almost didn't fall down. She couldn't help but looked at Jiang Yuan in amazement.

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, with shame and annoyance on her face, stomped her feet and opened her red lips:

"you"

In the end, she embarrassedly picked up the oil lamp on the table and hurried downstairs.

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

He has already seen a faint red lantern floating on the path by the river in the distance.Sometimes walking along the road, sometimes shuttling among the trees.

The red lanterns are evil and evil, which is particularly abrupt and strange in this dark night.

"Has it finally appeared?"

Jiang Yuan supported the window sill with one hand, and he jumped out of the window.

After falling to the ground on the street, Jiang Yuan touched the male knife on his waist, and then walked quickly towards the red lantern.
