"Your Excellency?"
The fish vendor, who was called Han Erlang, first responded subconsciously, then looked up and saw Lu Jing and said in confusion.
"I'm in Xiagijing. I want to ask Brother Han about something." Lu Jing didn't use his real name, mainly because he was too famous and was now known to everyone, and it didn't meet Si Tianjian's requirement to keep a low profile.
It is said that people like him will have a set of identities specially used for investigating cases after they officially join Si Tianjian and become supervisors, but this will be a matter for the future.
Lu Jing could only borrow the name of his courier now. Speaking of which, he had to thank Chen Chao for not having an Internet connection or a camera like a Kodak, which allowed him to walk out onto the street so arrogantly. Go on, don't worry about being recognized, otherwise you will have to use another set of human skin masks.
"You don't want to ask about my wife, do you?"
When the fish vendor named Han heard this, the look on his face immediately became strange.
"How did Second Brother Han figure it out?" Lu Jing was stunned. He didn't expect that Han Erlang in front of him could actually read minds. He already knew what he wanted to do before he even opened his mouth.
"Because not long ago, a woman who called herself An Zhu came to inquire about this matter."
Lu Jing knew in his heart that An Zhu was most likely Yan Yun, because if Yan Yun's name was taken apart, it would be An Zhu on both sides.
Judging from the time, Yan Yun should have come here as soon as she finished the sixth question. In other words, she also noticed that Han Erlang's side was the starting point of everything.
So Lu Jing stopped talking nonsense and said directly, "Yes, I'm here for this too." As he spoke, he took out a piece of silver from his body and handed it over.
"You... who are you?" Han Erlang did not accept the money, but said with caution, "Could it be that the ghosts from the underworld came to capture my wife? If so, please take back the money. Well, no matter how much you pay, I won’t answer your questions.”
"No, I'm just a weird writer. I specialize in collecting this kind of things, compiling them into books, printing them and selling them for money, so you can just keep the money."
In the end, it was okay that Lu Jing didn't say this. After saying this, Han Erlang looked at him with more vigilance, "He also said that you are not ghosts. The woman named An Zhu also said the same thing before. What does it sound like? When writing about Zhugongdiao, it was a pity that I believed her lies.
"If... if there is something wrong with my wife, I... I won't let you go!" Han Erlang looked around, and finally grabbed a scale-scratching knife, holding it in his hand to encourage himself.
Lu Jing had to remind him, "Friend, your wife has passed away, and I can't do anything to her."
"She's already passed away, and you guys are still willing to let her go?!" Han Erlang's eyes turned red when he heard this, and he stiffened his neck, still breathing heavily.
Seeing him like this, Lu Jing knew that the relationship between him and his wife was indeed very deep, and the money-to-money method was probably not going to work, so he took back the money that was handed out.
To untie the bell, the person who tied the bell must be tied. Then Lu Jing said warmly, "In that case, I won't hide it anymore. I... the poor monk is actually a person from outside the country, traveling around, specializing in solving ghost problems for people."
Han Erlang was doubtful, mainly because Lu Jing looked too young and didn't look like a wise man, and he had hair. However, the Zen staff he held in his hand made it clear at a glance that it was not ordinary, which added some convincing. With his strength, coupled with the big bag behind him, he really felt like a strange person playing with the world.
Han Erlang believed it, but still did not put down the knife. He paused and continued, "After all, you are not a ghost hunter?"
Lu Jing shook his head, "That's wrong, the poor monk helps people solve ghost problems. Although he also catches ghosts, it's not just about catching ghosts. The key depends on what you want the poor monk to do for you. For example, the poor monk can also try to help you. Of course, it is just a try to find your wife, and there is no guarantee that I will succeed."
Han Erlang was doubtful, "Master, you help people solve ghost problems, do you still pay money for it?"
"…………"
"No, I gave you money before just to test the depth of the relationship between you and your husband," Lu Jing said, "If things come true later, I have to pay you instead."
Han Erlang was silent when he heard this. It was not that he was reluctant to part with the money. If he could find his wife, he would not hesitate to give all the money he had to Lu Jing.
The main reason was that he was worried about whether Lu Jing, in the name of helping him, ended up catching ghosts.
The strangely dressed young man opposite seemed to see through his thoughts, but he said again, "Don't you want to see your wife again? Find out whether she is dead or alive, and why she is avoiding you?"
Han Erlang trembled when he heard this, "Master, can you really help me find my wife?"
"I don't know, I can only try my best."
Lu Jing said solemnly, he could have agreed first and got what he wanted to know from Han Erlang. However, facing an infatuated man who only wanted to see his beloved again, Lu Jing could not and did not want to deceive him on this issue.
He even added something later, "The poor monk can't guarantee what will happen after he finds your wife. To tell you the truth, if her existence will harm other people, the poor monk will probably still have to do something to conquer the devil. "
"Thank you, Master, for telling the truth." Han Erlang finally put down the knife in his hand, and nodded as if he had made some determination, "I am willing to tell Master everything I know, just to see Snow Lady again."
This time it was Lu Jing who was surprised, "Aren't you afraid that I will capture your wife?"
"I know Xue Niang. She is the most kind-hearted. No matter whether she is a human or a ghost, she will never harm others." Han Erlang said.
This explanation made sense, but Lu Jing always felt that something was not quite right, but he couldn't explain it for a while, so he could only ask questions first.
"Besides you and your wife, I don't know who else is in Brother Han's family. Do you have any good friends in your life? You know Li Er from Lijia Village."
"Xue Niang and I have no children, but we still have an old father and a eldest sister in the family. As for friends, we have a few, but we are very close friends, only three or five of them. I don't know Li Er, but there are indeed people in Lijia Village. A good friend of mine."
Lu Jing was shocked when he heard this, "Who is it and what's your name?"
"He is a painter who is quite good at painting. However, he was kicked out of the capital because of a bad relationship with a member of the painting academy. He had to settle in Lijia Village. His name is Ma Liang."
