Duan Gui was shocked when he heard this. This must have been spread by people from the Wanli Escort Bureau, and it had nothing to do with him.
But at this point, he must not be able to explain clearly.
"Sir, I didn't tell you this, and I've never thought about it that way."
Lu Zhao chuckled and said: "Forget it, sir, I have been an official for many years and know how to get along with each other. You are a tough talker, and I am too lazy to expose you, but remember, sir, I am not either. Anyone can move it, but you are beating me from behind, and I am so generous that I won’t care about you—"
"Master, I——"
"Don't speak yet, listen to what I have to say."
Lu Zhao touched his chin: "Xiao Duan, if you want to keep this job, I will give you a chance to make atonement. It depends on whether you can seize it."
What Duan Gui is most afraid of now is losing his job, because he has no savings at all. He finally had some savings, but he was completely exploited by Duan Daming.
He must survive before he can take advantage of being a time traveler.
"Sir, please speak."
Lu Zhao clicked his tongue twice: "Then let me tell you the truth. You also know that I am in trouble now. The superiors are forcing me to solve the case, but I have no clue. Didn't you kid tell me that you don't believe anything? The theory of ghosts and gods is very good and suits the master’s taste, so now the master has a plan.”
"My lord, please clarify."
Lu Zhao chuckled: "I want to use you to go fishing!"
"You boy, you have good looks. I think that female ghost, no, that woman will definitely be attracted to you, so I plan to let you go to Chang'an County to patrol the night -"
"You don't believe in ghosts and gods anyway, right? You wouldn't dare to let others go. Your kid is the most suitable -"
"Master, it's not that I don't believe in ghosts and gods, it's just that the human heart is more terrifying than ghosts and gods!"
Duan Gui's words were a double entendre. On the one hand, he pointed out that vicious human nature is often behind strange cases. On the other hand, he also alluded to Lu Zhao's revenge on him.
In Lu Zhao's own words, he had been an official for many years, so how could he not understand the relationship between people? He naturally understood what Duan Gui said.
But he didn't clarify. He just lowered his head and touched his chin: "Okay, it's best if you think like this. The fact that you think like this shows that you are an understanding person. In this life, people are not afraid of being incompetent. What they are most afraid of is not understanding. , People who don’t understand are not easy to mess with. It’s not easy for a person to be long or short in this life. Go ahead and take action tonight.”
"yes."
Duan Gui was about to leave when Lu Zhao called him back again: "Don't worry, Xiao Duan, I won't treat you badly if you work overtime at night. If you work overtime for an extra day, I'll give you double the money. It's better than if you work overtime in Yihongyuan Just be a handyman, don't worry, I will never treat any of my brothers badly."
"You can go home and rest now."
"No, sir, I need to go to the scene first. I think this case cannot be solved by fishing alone. It must be investigated."
"Okay, very good. I appreciate your serious and responsible attitude."
He said this, but Lu Zhao's expression was full of sarcasm, because in his impression, Duan Gui had never participated in the investigation of the case.
This kid is clearly pretending in front of himself.
To put it bluntly, it is floating.
"Then I will arrange for Zhao Gang and Zhang Xiaosi to accompany you."
"Yes, sir, please excuse me."
As soon as he came out, Duan Gui spat on the ground, Damn it, you are a bitch setting up a memorial arch and trying to kill me, and you are afraid of offending others, what the hell.
But Duan Gui really didn't dare not go because he was extremely afraid of losing his job.
The word "unemployment" is really not a good word. Whether it is this era or the previous era, if you do not have a good father, then it is best to stay away from this word.
Otherwise, you will be in debt next. After you are in debt, your wife will run away with someone else, and your family will be broken up and your wife will be separated. That is not a joke.
This is the human world.
At this time, Zhao Gang and Zhang Xiaosi were still lingering in the detention room, and Lu Zhao directly ordered them to take Duan Gui to the scene to investigate the case.
Zhao Gang's face was filled with disdain, but he still took Duan Gui and Zhang Xiaosi to the morgue in Chang'an County, intending to introduce the case to him first.
What Duan Gui didn't expect was that the widow here was actually a woman, and she was also a very beautiful young woman. Judging from the bun on her head, she was probably a young woman.
"This is Dongyu, a widower from Chang'an County. She is in charge of everything here. Just ask her."
Zhao Gang despised Duan Gui from the bottom of his heart and didn't bother to talk to him. At this time, he also knew that Duan Gui had only received an order to be a bait, and he laughed in his heart that his death was not far away, so he kept silent after he finished speaking.
The female widow named Dong Yu lived up to her name, with enchanting grace but cold features. After looking at Duan Gui, she began to explain to them.
"There are a total of seventeen corpses here, all of them are victims of the ghost woman in red case this month. These people are now in the state of mummies. You can see for yourself."
Duan Gui saw the rows of corpses in front of him, all covered with white cloth, and said strangely: "Why are there seventeen? Aren't they eighteen victims?"
Dong Yu said coldly: "There are indeed eighteen victims, but there are only seventeen corpses, because there is one victim who did not leave a corpse."
"this--"
Zhao Gang said lazily next to him: "According to the case record, the victim was an eighteen-year-old boy. That night, the family saw a woman in red appear, and she disappeared the next day. But strangely, she did not appear." No body was found, and the case is still unsolved. Because no clues can be found, it is temporarily merged with the female ghost in red."
"Oh I got it."
Since this was the case, there was no need for Duan Gui to delve deeper, so he began to examine the seventeen corpses lying on the ground.
The female widow named Dong Yu, for some unknown reason, kept looking at Duan Gui with her eyes, as if she was full of curiosity about him. Duan Gui's mentality was a bit shattered, thinking that this young woman was interested in him.
Although he is not a womanizer, this woman's child is really quite delicious.
"Your name is Duan Gui?" Dongyu suddenly asked.
"Ah, ahem, how do you know me?" Duan Gui swallowed.
"Oh, I just heard that you were carrying a urinal for others in the brothel, and you often pestered some tofu beauties -" Dong Yu blinked: "I didn't expect you to look like this -"
"you--"
Duan Gui cursed in his heart, thinking to himself, it seems that these things that the original organizer was responsible for have been cleared up, and now the whole Chang'an city has become famous.
He could only pretend not to hear it and carefully inspected the corpses.
Zhao Gang smiled mockingly: "Duan Gui, what are you pretending to be? You have never participated in an investigation. At most, you are just patrolling the streets. You know how to do an autopsy?"
