The news that the Yong'an River was blocked has aroused the endless imagination of netizens. This can be regarded as helping the Hi-tech City Hospital to resolve some pressure from public opinion.
But for Gao Ling, director of the Hi-Tech City Development Department who is at the forefront of public opinion, such resolution will have little effect.
Gao Ling was sitting in the office on the 6th floor of Tixing Division with a frown on his face. There was a document on his desk with the seal of the polling bureau on it.
Soon there was a sound of footsteps in the corridor, and then Chen Sheng walked in fiercely.
"Director, do you care about this matter?
In the case of a missing corpse in a hospital, the poll bureau said it was snatched away.
As a result, the Yong'an River case was snatched away by them again.
Even if you have the support of the military government, you can't bully people like this. "
Chen Shengdong complained angrily to Director Gao Ling about what happened. After listening to Gao Ling, he pushed the document in front of him forward:
"The polling bureau followed formal procedures, the handover documents were sent long ago, and the commander-in-chief of the Yanjun Military Mansion even made a special call to me.
It's useless for you to come to me and complain about this case.
What I am worried about now is not who will handle the case, but when will the case be completed. "
Gao Ling was indeed speaking from his heart. Before Chen Shengdong came in, Gao Ling had been worrying about this matter.
Whether it is in the handover documents or in the phone call from Li Guowei, it has been repeatedly stated that the polling bureau handles the case secretly and will not interfere with public view.
In other words, in the eyes of the public, whether it is the case of the missing corpse in the hospital or the Yong'an River incident, their high-tech city criminal department is responsible for the investigation.
External public opinion is fermenting faster and faster, and it is becoming more and more unfavorable to the punishment department.
This is what gives Gao Ling a headache.
On the one hand, he is not in charge of this case, so he has no way to advance the progress of the case.
On the other hand, you have to take the blame and be criticized by the public, even heated discussions.
The only thing that makes Gao Ling feel lucky is that these two cases are really too difficult if they really fall into the hands of the Criminal Division of Gaoxin City.
I'm afraid that not only will I be criticized verbally and writtenly by the public, but I will also have to accept reprimands from my superiors.
Although they now have to accept public opinions, at least if their superiors ask, they can still say something to show that they are not responsible for this case.
It is precisely because of this that the elderly feel a little better.
Chen Shengdong immediately turned off the fire. Even the director had this attitude, so the idea of taking the case back was naturally given up.
"Shengdong, please help me analyze it. The officers and soldiers blocked the Yong'an River, but it seems that they are no longer investigating the case of missing corpses in the hospital.
What on earth is this polling bureau thinking? How can a little-known new military agency be so willing to help Yanjun Commander-in-Chief? "
Gao Ling's question is not the doubt in Chen Shengdong's heart:
“I don’t know either, but they seemed to think there was some connection between the Yongan River incident and the case of the missing corpse in the hospital, so they chose to investigate the case together.
But I see those people, each one is more unreliable than the last.
Especially the fattest one, who looked carefree and did not look like a member of the imperial court at all. "
There was a pause in his tone, as if he could sense Gao Ling's melancholy. Chen Shengdong added at the right time: "However, Lin'an City's Punishment Department may know something, because they were the polling bureaus they recommended to me before, and their department Lin Feng’s attitude towards the polling bureau is very strange, he seems to admire it but also has concerns..."
The content of the conversation between the two is only known to each other.
But little did he know that there was about to be a huge wave on the other side of the Yong'an River, which would even have far-reaching consequences...
…
The Yongan River at this time.
Yan Qilin wrapped the ancient meteorite sword with a piece of cloth and carried it on his back. Most people would not be able to tell what it was.
The magic wand has the ability to stretch and retract, so it can be easily pinned to Ma Ling'er's waist.
As for the fat man, no one knows how much he stuffed into this box. Anyway, his previously bulging backpack has been lost.
And Fatty once again discovered another advantage of the Qiankun Box.
Because the inside of this box was specially designed with a unique charm by Feng Yun, even if he put a lot of things in it, the fat man still wouldn't feel the weight of this box.
But Kong Jie on the side seemed to really not be able to stand it any longer, so he quickly looked at Feng Yun and changed the subject:
"Director Feng, this scene has been sealed off. All the people who should be transferred have been transferred to you. The scene has also been sealed off.
What are you going to do next, or at least let me know what's going on? "
From just now, Kong Jie has been losing his temper.
After all, they came here in such a big way, but Feng Yun and others have been playing with those broken weapons that seem to be meaningless.
Kong Jie had no idea what was going on here and the significance of what they were doing now.
Considering Kong Jie's temper, being able to hold it in until now is already a sign of respect for Feng Yunxiang.
At this moment, Feng Yun finally focused on Kong Jie. Naturally, he did not hide this. After all, Kong Jie was also the commanding officer at the scene. Concealing the facts of the case would affect the command arrangements.
He gave an overview of what he learned about the Yongan River incident, and said that the polling bureau has now accepted the investigation of the case, so the scene needs to be cordoned off.
But this story sounded a bit strange to Kong Jie. It was a ghost ship, and the body was missing from the hospital morgue. Every single thing he mentioned seemed like a ghost story.
What makes Kong Jie even more confused is that even if there is a case, it must be taken over by someone from the Criminal Division. Why is it now being investigated by the Public Opinion Bureau?
Of course Kong Jie didn't know that before he came, there were indeed many investigators from the Xing Division blocking the place.
Unexpectedly, Fatty and others took over the case, but the person involved, Chen Shengdong, still felt that it was justified and had nothing to say.
After thinking about what Feng Yun said for a long time, Kong Jie was still confused.
Although Feng Yun has made it very clear, no one knows the truth of the case, so Feng Yun has no choice but to investigate slowly.
"Director Feng, I still don't quite understand, so what are you going to do next?"
Feng Yun did not answer this question, but turned to look at Fatty and the others:
"It depends on how they arrange it. Like you, I don't know anything yet."
Upon hearing this, the three people who were still looking down at their weapons all raised their heads in surprise.
From Feng Yun's words, they could clearly hear Feng Yun's attitude, and he was obviously ready to give up.
They originally thought that the director would personally take action, so that they could relax a little more this time. But now it seems that this hope has been dashed before it even started.
After looking at each other, the fat man, as the captain, had no choice but to bite the bullet and lead the two of them forward.
He pointed to the tattered shrine next to him that could easily be ignored without looking carefully and said:
"Director, we are thinking that there is a shrine in this place, which means there is a river god.
You also said that there is a god in one place. If this is the case, if we try to ask the river god for enlightenment, won’t we know the ins and outs? "
Feng Yun quickly understood that the three fat men were planning to take a shortcut, just like they had done when they requested land disclosure in Phoenix Mountain not long ago.
This is understandable. After all, the current clues for the missing corpse case and the ghost ship incident are incomplete, and Fatty and the others have no direction even if they want to investigate.
However, Feng Yun knew very well that this matter was not that simple, otherwise he would not have come to take charge of it in person. However, he did not say anything more. He just looked at the three of them and said gently:
"Don't ask me, you check your..."
Feng Yun's bad attitude made Fatty and the three of them a little unsure for a moment, but after much deliberation, they had only one way to go. Therefore, as the captain, Fatty made the final decision after a moment of tangle and decided to implement this. plan.
Under Kong Jie's puzzled gaze, the three fat men took the lead in cleaning up the tattered shrine.
He couldn't understand the conversation just now between several people. It was a river god and a lecture. How could he clean up some folk feudal customs?
Can this kind of thing be investigated?
From Kong Jie's point of view, these people were really a bit talkative and completely confusing.
But the three fat men couldn't care so much at this time. They cleaned up the weeds around the shrine and carefully brought river water to wipe the stone tablet inside.
What can be seen is that this shrine must have been carefully built when it was first built. Although the inside and outside are made of stone, if such a shrine is to be formed, the stones must be perfectly connected.
This craft technique can be traced back to before the Ming Dynasty, indicating that this river god shrine has been around for some time.
In ancient times, the river god was also called He Bo, and he was also considered a relatively influential god of rivers.
After the establishment of the Yin Dynasty, great importance was attached to the worship of the river god, and river temples were built in various places. That period of time can also be said to be the best time in the life of the river god.
Until the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, local river worship was still very active, and legends about river gods have been spread in some areas.
For example, Jingu, at the bottom of Jiuhe River, has three pontoon bridges and two passes. In ancient times, the river god was highly respected.
But this has been a long time ago. From the dilapidated appearance of the River God's shrine, it is easy to see that no one is worshiping the River God anymore.
In other words, the belief in many gods has come to an end.
After cleaning the shrine, Fatty's doctor said a few words to Yan Qilin. Yan Qilin nodded and quickly walked towards the nearest village.
After a while, when Yan Qilin came back, he was already carrying two chickens.
The three of them worked together to hang the feathered chicken on the tripod, and then cooked the chicken. The most important step of the River God Festival was completed.
If you want to pray to God, you must first pray to God. This River God Festival is the process of praying to God.
Then the fat man scooped a basin of water from the river, and then sat cross-legged in front of the shrine.
Yan Qilin and Ma Ling'er helped Fatty spread out a piece of yellow paper. Fatty then dipped in water and started writing on the yellow paper.
"Ji Gu Zhan year worships the water god, welcomes the river god and listens to the truth.
The pen is dipped in water from the river, and the thing hanging on the shelf is Sanyang chicken.
I sincerely invite the River God to show his true power and enlighten the ignorant to see the yin and yang..."
When the fat man spoke leisurely, Yan Qilin and Ma Ling'er were not idle either.
The two of them stood in a half-side squat position, facing the river and worshiping.
This is a very ancient ceremony to worship the river god, which is most common in the Dayanzuo River Basin.
When worshiping the river god, it is rare to see other sacrifices, mostly chickens.
This kind of chicken that can be used as a sacrifice is also called the Sanyang Chicken in the ceremony.
Just as the fat man finished speaking, an unknown gust of wind blew, which made the three fat men extremely happy.
Judging from previous experience, there should be enlightenment from the gods next.
Sure enough, when the fat man dipped the water in the river and stood the brush on the yellow paper, he could clearly feel that his hand seemed to be pushed by an invisible force and began to leave water stains on the yellow paper.
One horizontal stroke...
One vertical...
The fat man looked at the yellow paper in front of him happily. The writing on it meant that there was indeed a river god here.
If the River God could use this to leave clues on the yellow paper, they would have traces to trace.
"call……"
However, before the fat man could be happy for a long time, a gust of wind suddenly blew on the river.
The yellow paper on the ground was directly swept into the water by the gust of wind, and soon sank to the bottom of the river.
Damn it?
The fat man stood up in astonishment, and Ma Ling'er and Yan Qilin also looked puzzled in their eyes.
What does this mean? Accepting the sacrifices and not doing any work?
The fat man looked back with some surprise at the Sanyang Chicken on the tripod. Visible to the naked eye, the chicken had obviously become dry and flat.
It's as if it has been left for a long time and has dried.
When people eat food, they eat the form, and ghosts and gods eat the breath.
Therefore, if you are lucky enough to try the fruit offered on the altar, you will find that although it has not been stored for a long time, the fruit is a little shriveled, and even the taste is not as sweet as before.
"Damn it, what's going on? You took away the food you sent, and the result is that you don't work?"
The fat man is not a devout believer. He still adheres to the same tactics as those in the world of martial arts.
It stands to reason that the river god accepted the tribute. Firstly, it can prove that there is indeed a river god in the river. Secondly, it also proves that the sacrifice is effective.
But just when the fat man was about to wait for a result, an unknown strange wind blew away the yellow paper. Isn't this clear that he was cheating on food and drink?
The fat man, who became more and more angry as he thought about it, immediately walked to the shrine and asked with frowning eyes:
"You're a river god, have you tricked the fat man into eating and drinking?
That landowner in the mountains was willing to help me cut three animals with yellow paper. When I came to your place, I specially bought two chickens, but you didn't do anything serious?
Damn it, pay me back! "
In fact, what the fat man said was not rigorous. After all, the Earth God was the God of Fortune and was ranked as a god.
And most of the river gods are just earth immortals, and the difference among them is not the slightest bit, so naturally it cannot be generalized.
But the fat man was really angry now. He wanted to show off his learning results in front of Feng Yun, but he never wanted to show that he turned into the clown in the end.
Kong Jie, who saw all this in his eyes, was looking at the fat man with his arms crossed and a puzzled look on his face, as if he was looking at a psychopath.
First, he did some strange and strange things, and then because a gust of wind blew the yellow paper into the river, he actually started pointing at the shrine and yelling curses.
What also puzzled Kong Jie was that the chicken did appear to the naked eye to have suddenly dried.
One second it was full of flesh, and the next second it became dry and hard, as if it had been in the sun for a long time.
This is unscientific...
Kong Jie's mind was now in a mess, and his eyes kept scanning the bodies of Fatty and the others.
I secretly thought to myself, this polling bureau seems to be a bit evil?
Kong Jie, who felt strange about this, looked at Feng Yun who was standing in front of him.
But he found that Feng Yun was looking towards the river, wondering what he was thinking.
Although Fatty was angry at this time, the case still had to be investigated, so he had to calm down as soon as possible.
"Director, what should we do now? Give us some advice!"
The fat man looked at Feng Yun and said in an almost pleading tone, but Feng Yun spread his hands in response:
"Don't ask me, it's you who are investigating the case.
But then again, why did the River God invite the River God to the River God Festival, but the River God didn’t help? "
Feng Yun seemed to be talking to himself, but after the fat man thought about it for a moment, some doubts suddenly flashed in his eyes.
"Yes, what happened to the Yong'an River? There is obviously a river god, but why doesn't the river god reveal it?"
“I don’t think it’s easy like this, we have to sort it out again.
Did you all listen carefully when Chen Shengdong from the Hi-tech City mentioned the case process? "
Ma Ling'er's voice came, and Fatty and Yan Qilin nodded.
"Isn't it just that a family encountered a ghost ship while fishing, and only one young man survived and went to report the crime. Wait..."
Speaking of this, the fat man suddenly frowned:
"I remember Chen Shengdong said at the time that the survivor once said that after he fell into the river, he seemed to feel a force pushing him out?"
The more the fat man thought about it, the more he felt something strange. Then he shook his head and said:
"No, no, we must have missed something. We need to find the person who reported the crime and ask in detail what happened."
"It's too late. Didn't you listen to what Chen Shengdong said at the end? This man committed suicide on the beam of his house that night."
Yan Qilin opened his mouth to remind, but the fat man still said firmly:
"I know, but if others can't investigate, why can't we?"
"You mean, open your eyes?"
The fat man nodded quickly, but the conversation between the three made Kong Jie even more confused.
"Director Feng, these team members of yours...
Why can't I understand what they are doing from now on? "
Facing Kong Jie's inquiry, Feng Yun acted as if he was used to it:
"It's okay, they are always like this, just get used to it."
Is this something that can be solved by getting used to it?
Kong Jie looked at Feng Yun speechless, and he had more and more doubts about the polling bureau.
The big war came, and the people blocked the entire lower river area. As a result, these people didn't do anything serious from just now.
Now he was discussing something about opening his eyes in a serious manner.
Recalling that the commander-in-chief spoke highly of the poll bureau every time before, Kong Jie couldn't help but wonder if he was a swordsman who didn't know how to use a sword or a gun, and his reputation was in vain.
But it was obvious that the three fat men were completely immersed in their own world at the moment.
After a heated discussion, the fat man habitually looked back at Feng Yun, but Feng Yun still didn't give any response.
"Come on, the director has made it clear that he will not provide us with any help, so let's do what we just discussed.
After the case is over, I must find an opportunity to push this shrine into the river! "
Fatty is still brooding about what happened to Cai Cai, but Yan Qilin and Ma Ling'er also know that Fatty is just talking and won't really do it.
He didn't know what the three of them had agreed upon. Kong Jie only saw that after a while, the fat man came to Feng Yun:
"Director, we are going to the village to have a look.
Find the man who hanged himself and see if you can get anything out of his mouth. "
Feng Yun still just nodded, as if you can do whatever you want.
There was no other way. The three fat men could only turn around and walk towards Fushou Village not far away. Watching Feng Yun follow them, Kong Jie also walked a few steps quickly and came to Feng Yun's side.
"Director Feng, I didn't understand. Didn't the person they were talking about hanged just now?
Now that everyone is dead, who are they going to question? "
Feng Yun looked at Kong Jie and said word by word:
"Old Kong, you don't know something. Sometimes the dead are more useful than the living."
It is not difficult to tell from Feng Yun's words that the decision made by Fatty and others made him very happy.
At least the three people's ideas are correct. The process of solving most cases always requires this. Only by peeling off the cocoon and pulling out the silk can a clear and clear idea be sorted out.
The reason why Feng Yun did not provide any help during this period was because he did not want these three people to become dependent.
Feng Yun himself is the only one in the polling bureau, but he can't go that far.
Once the polling bureau begins to expand and even faces the entire Great Flame, how can Feng Yun alone teach it?
In fact, the three of them could probably guess Feng Yun's intention, so they all walked towards the village very seriously...
