"They are not detectives, they are..." The village chief wanted to explain, but when the words reached his mouth, he couldn't speak. He looked at me with pleading eyes.
"We are Taoists." I looked at Officer Wang with a wry smile. I really didn't want to face the policewoman's frowning eyes.
"Village Chief, what age are we in now? Do you still believe in these feudal superstitions? Such people are all charlatans. I advise you to let them go as soon as possible." The female policeman said with sarcasm, without giving us any face.
"Xiao Zhou, okay, you two come and sit down and talk." Officer Wang's words were completely unexpected.
It seems that this old comrade is still well-informed, because I saw some admiration and approval in his eyes.
But perhaps because of my age, there was inevitably a hint of suspicion in Officer Wang's eyes.
"Huh..." the policewoman snorted, swung her arms and came to sit down at the table.
"Xiaotian, can I call you like this?" As soon as I sat down, Officer Wang spoke first.
"Okay, you can call me whatever you want, it's just a name." I smiled and waved my hand.
"Have you seen the body?" Officer Wang got to the point directly.
"I've seen it, but I didn't look carefully." I glanced at the policewoman with a wry smile.
"What did you find?" Officer Wang looked at me with a smile. He seemed to be testing me.
"Officer Wang, I know I am young, but sometimes strength has nothing to do with age. In fact, you have also determined that those two people were murdered, but you can't find any clues about the murderer for the time being, otherwise you wouldn't be here." I smiled. Not smiling, the clouds are calm and the wind is gentle.
"Young and promising." Officer Wang was stunned and smiled.
"Hmph, a blind cat meets a dead mouse, so tell me, who killed them?" The policewoman still refused to give up.
"This, in front of you, I am not suitable to say such words, but I can be sure that it is not man-made." I really can't explain this. If you talk to the police about ghosts and gods, isn't this a fantasy?
"You're so nagging. If you don't learn well at a young age, are you a ghost?" The policewoman looked at me with a sneer.
"Xiao Zhou, have you seen the forensic doctor?" I was about to answer when Officer Wang suddenly spoke up.
Although the policewoman was a little reluctant, she still got up and walked towards the courtyard door.
"I know that in your capacity, it's hard for you to believe what I say, but I came back just to find the murderer..." Before I could say anything, Officer Wang raised his hand to interrupt.
"I have been a police officer for twenty years and a criminal police officer for fifteen years. I have seen all kinds of bizarre cases. I believe what you said, but I do have some doubts about your strength. I don't know where you learned from ?” What Officer Wang said made me unable to recover for a long time.
"Xiao Zhou is young. He is now the youngest criminal police officer in the station. He was admitted as a criminal police officer at the age of twenty-two. It is inevitable that he is a little arrogant. Don't take it to heart." Officer Wang continued.
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. I'm just a little surprised that you believe this." I smiled and looked at the direction the policewoman was leaving.
"Few people should know my master's name, because in recent years, people have called him the shopkeeper. We, the master and the apprentice, only sell peach wood swords in the town..." I retracted my gaze and continued.
"Master Gu Yang?" Officer Wang's face changed slightly, and I could see that he was a little excited.
"Do you know my master?" I was more surprised than him.
I'm afraid there aren't many people in this world who can recognize my master's name.
"How is the old man now?" Officer Wang became even more excited and leaned forward.
"Master passed away..." I said and lowered my head.
"It is indeed a real person. I have expected everything. It's a pity. I still owe him a drink..." Officer Wang's expression dimmed instantly, and his tone was full of sadness.
But this made me even more curious. The master obviously looked about the same age as Officer Wang, but Officer Wang called him an old man.
Furthermore, judging from Officer Wang's tone, the master and he should be old acquaintances. What is the master's background?
"You don't know that I'm normal, but I know you. Your master is not as simple as you think, but since you are his apprentice, I trust your judgment in this murder case." Officer Wang saw my silence and took the initiative Take the conversation.
"Master, did you mention me?" I looked up sharply.
"I told you something, there was a big case at that time, and thanks to your master's help, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to sit here today." Officer Wang smiled bitterly.
"Captain, the forensic doctor is here." At this moment, the female police officer just pushed the door open and entered.
"Leave it to you." Officer Wang dropped these words and stood up to leave.
"What do you mean?" Heizi looked at me and then at the village chief.
Dahei has been lying on the side since he entered the door, as if everything has nothing to do with him.
"It means let us go ahead and do it. Village chief, tell me the beginning and end of the matter?" I said and looked at the village chief beside me.
"These two strangers drowned yesterday..." the village chief began to seriously recall everything that happened.
In fact, treasure digging has been banned in the village in recent years. People from above have long come to demand the protection of cultural relics, and even some archaeological experts have come.
The village also spontaneously set up a patrol team, and things have been going smoothly these years. The villagers have been living a prosperous life relying on their crops and tourism.
These two strangers came to the village a week ago, and there was nothing unusual about them.
Just two people go fishing in the fish pond every day.
The fish pond in the village is now open to the public for a fee, and the fish caught can be processed on the spot at the farmer's home, which is also a part of the farmhouse entertainment.
But these two people didn't eat the fish they caught and just released it. However, the fishing time was not short.
The two of them also went there last night, and as time went by, no one paid much attention.
But by the time the patrol found them, they had already drowned in the fish pond.
"This is strange..." I couldn't help but frown.
"What's so strange? It must be a water ghost." Heizi slapped the table and stood up.
"But back then, the master did the Dharma in the fish pond, and there were stones placed at the bottom of the pond. There shouldn't be evil spirits in the fish pond." I directly expressed my doubts.
"Xiaotian, do you mean these two people were killed?" The village chief lowered his voice nervously.
"That's not true. I have seen the corpse and I can confirm that it was done by evil spirits." I looked at the two people in front of me with certainty.
"Is it the water ghost you said was catching the substitute?" Heizi looked at me nervously.
"I'm not sure about this, I think we'd better go take a look before talking." I said and stood up.
I was getting ready to go out when two police officers walked in.
"Officer Wang, let me go take a look." I said bluntly.
"Call me Uncle Wang. I'll stay at the village chief's house until things come to light." Officer Wang smiled and patted me on the shoulder.
"Master, how can you trust this kid?" The policewoman pulled Uncle Wang unhappily.
"It turns out that she is also a disciple..." I laughed secretly in my heart.
"If you don't believe it, just go along." Uncle Wang's words almost made me angry to death.
"Uncle Wang, isn't this appropriate?" I quickly objected.
"It's okay. If she hinders you, just tell me and I'll let her go back to the city and I'll replace you with someone else." As soon as Uncle Wang said these words, the policewoman shut up instantly.
Before leaving, Uncle Wang gave me a meaningful look.
I roughly understood what he meant. He wanted me to help Zhou Jiaonan gain knowledge so as to avoid big losses in the future.
The fish pond is not far from the village chief's house. We walked slowly. Dahei was not curious and followed me closely.
"What kind of dog are you? Are you so obedient?" Zhou Jiaonan couldn't help but break the calm.
"What kind of dog is this? This is my junior brother, please speak politely." Heizi took the opportunity to attack him.
Seeing Zhou Jiaonan's expression of disbelief, I felt angry and funny at the same time.
Three people and one dog soon arrived at the fish pond.
After someone drowned, the fish pond was naturally closed for business and a warning cordon was set up.
However, since the discovery of the body, there have been no clues available around here.
I simply sat down on the steps beside the fish pond and looked at the calm water.
"Brother, what do you think?" Heizi said and sat next to me.
"Can't see clearly, ask your junior brother." I responded lazily.
"Junior brother, what do you think?" Heizi asked Dahei really.
Dahei opened his mouth and yawned, then lay down directly on the grass.
"Are you crazy?" Zhou Jiaonan couldn't help complaining.
"Dahei, don't be lazy, go try the water." I guess I am the only one who can move this kid.
"Wow..." As soon as I finished my words, Dahei jumped into the water.
But as soon as he swam out a few meters, Dahei turned back and climbed ashore without even bothering to shake the water, and started barking at the water.
