Lu Jing originally thought that the investigation would be completed in a week or two at the earliest, but he did not expect to receive news from a messenger on the third day after he surrendered.
At that time, Lu Jing was still playing hide and seek with A Hua.
This damn monkey had been his training partner for two days the day before yesterday and yesterday, but today he gave up the task again and refused to follow him. Even Ye Gongmei couldn't command it.
As soon as it sees Lu Jing from a distance, it will immediately flee and disappear, like a frightened bird that doesn't want to stay for a moment longer.
So Lu Jing could only go to Lu Ping to borrow a treasure from Xiaoyao Villa, and was planning to go fishing in the back mountain. No, it should be monkey fishing.
As a result, he saw a dark nightingale landing in front of him.
Lu Jing looked at the nightingale and found that the nightingale was also looking at him. Then Lu Jing looked around again and saw that there was no one else. Then he walked forward and took off the paper tied to the nightingale's leg. strip.
After unfolding it, I found that there were only three words on it - Lingyang County.
There was nothing else besides that. Lu Jing turned the note over and looked at it, but he didn't see any other content at the end. In short, there was no signature, no cause and effect.
Looking back, the nightingale who had delivered the message had disappeared.
Coupled with its all-black feathers, it looks like a ghost, coming and going without a trace.
Lu Jing hesitated for a moment, then took the note and went to Huang Supervisor.
The latter was practicing calligraphy at his residence. After hearing what Lu Jing said about the note, he put down his pen and asked, "What do you think that messenger looks like?"
"Well, it's all black. When I first saw it, I thought it was a crow."
Huang Supervisor also had a look of surprise on his face when he heard this, "Is it actually him?"
"who?"
"Your partner in the investigation this time seems to be an acquaintance of yours, but that guy is usually a loner. It's rare that he is willing to cooperate with others this time, and it is with you."
"What's wrong with me?" Lu Jing heard some hidden meaning in Huang Jianyuan's words, so he asked.
"It's not aimed at you. The main thing is that dealing with monsters is a matter of carelessness from beginning to end. In the past, supervisors and supervisors partnered with each other. They knew each other's ins and outs and cooperated tacitly. Now the department plans to let supervisors take charge of the academy. Disciple, many supervisors also criticized this.
"So before you asked me which supervisor was your partner, I said I didn't know because the department hadn't decided on a candidate at that time." Huang Supervisory Yuan explained.
"Okay." Lu Jing heard this and stopped asking. As long as it was proven that the messenger was indeed from a certain supervisor of Si Tianjian and not someone else fishing, the rest would be done when he met the owner of the messenger. Nature will know.
So Lu Jing packed up a little and then carried his luggage through the [well] and came to Lingyang County.
Lingyang is a small county in the southwest of Huizhou, and it is also the farthest county from the administrative center. Apart from the production of Yali and mature vinegar, Lingyang has basically no sense of existence.
However, now that the world is in chaos, Lingyang is actually a blessing in disguise, because he is too ordinary and has not been targeted by anyone with ulterior motives.
In addition, although a group of officials in the county cannot be called honest, they are still capable and manage the county in an orderly manner, so there have been no major troubles so far.
It's just that this year's pears are really not selling well. Seeing that the situation in the world is collapsing day by day, the people are keeping their wallets tightly closed. Naturally, fewer people eat non-essential consumer goods like pears. .
In addition, transportation in many places has been interrupted, and transportation costs are rising, making it even more difficult for people to go out.
They can only be sold around Lingyang, and the price is extremely cheap. You can buy three big pears for one penny, which is just like picking them up for free.
After Lu Jing walked out of Si Tianjian's station in Lingyang, he first bought two kilograms of pears and ate them while walking.
He had actually guessed from Huang Supervisory Yuan's previous words who the supervisor who was partnering with him this time was. After all, he didn't know many supervisors, and most of them were retired people like Ye Gongmei, so The answer is actually not difficult to guess.
And based on that person's character, Lu Jing believed that she was not pretending to be mysterious when she only wrote one location on the note. There must be her reasons.
What Lu Jing has to do now is to wait for her next order.
However, he then thought of the Huang Supervisory Yuan's instructions, and it was obvious that the Huang Supervisory Yuan still valued his investigation of the case, and had just revealed some of the obstacles he encountered during the period.
The outcome of Lu Jing's handling of the case will most likely affect the implementation of Si Tianjian's new plan to a certain extent.
So he decided to be a little more positive and treat it as an apology for losing [Gui Zi Lu Shi Lu], so Lu Jing later recalled what he had learned in get out of class.
I started to inquire about the strange things happening in Lingyang County recently.
Lu Jing chose one of the busiest teahouses in the city, spent 20 cents on it, found the oldest-looking tea doctor there, and started chatting with him.
After burning a stick of incense, he left the tea house with a belly full of messy gossip, and moved to another restaurant. Money still opened the way. He found a waiter to accompany him and continued to inquire about the strange stories in the city.
However, after listening to this, Lu Jing still didn't have much clue.
Although he repeatedly emphasized that he wanted to hear something fresh and interesting, preferably local anecdotes related to ghosts, in the end the feeling he got was as gimmicky as approaching science, but in fact it was just due to lack of common sense or a misunderstanding by chance. .
In order to prove this, Lu Jing later reluctantly found a Goulan home and chatted with a housekeeper there. Most of the time, he listened to her complaining about the difficulty in doing business recently, especially since she was only doing business and not doing anything. Prostitute.
There was no way around it. In today's world, etiquette and music had collapsed, and fewer and fewer people were willing to simply chat about literature and music. If this continued, she would probably have to follow the example of her predecessors.
Anyway, her experience makes those who hear it sad, and the more they hear about it, the worse it gets.
Of course, this may also be the usual strategy of this company. After all, men always like this kind of drama of being in trouble in the world of mortals. Especially when they lift their pants, their feelings of saving the world are often extravagant, and they feel more comfortable than usual when they spend money. Some.
Fortunately, Lu Jing finally got what he wanted and suppressed the urge in his heart to persuade others to behave.
After that, he put the three people's statements together, compared them, and eliminated those that were obviously people playing tricks, or simply normal natural phenomena.
Finally, three things were picked out that might be related to strange things.
