One person: Reborn as Huangxian, seeking the title of Feng Baobao at the beginning

The moment Wu Xie put the fish into the water, Chen Tian glanced at it and immediately noticed something was wrong, so he shouted loudly.

"I didn't put a fishing hook!"

Wu Xie nodded, staring at the fish swimming happily in the bucket, not understanding what was going on.

"Why are so many dead fish floating up?"

While Wu Xie and Chen Tian were still studying how fish could be caught by themselves without hooks or bait, biting the smooth fishing line, someone shouted a few words.

Wu Xie and Chen Tian stood up straight at the same time and ran towards the river.

A few steps later, we reached the riverbank, where we saw a layer of dead fish floating belly up on the water's surface.

The surface of the water was covered with a dense mass of dead fish, which was quite frightening to look at.

"Which scoundrel is electrofishing in the river? Do they have a death wish?"

"Those who fish with electricity deserve to be struck by lightning, and this matter must be thoroughly investigated!"

……

There were many people fishing by the river. Someone noticed the dead fish on the surface of the river and shouted, and others also noticed the situation.

There had been incidents of people using electricity to fish in the river before, so the fishermen immediately started clamoring to investigate the matter thoroughly.

"The river water is churning underneath; something is stirring it up, and the fish are being affected, which is why they are dying! It's not that someone is electrofishing!"

Wu Xie and Chen Tian exchanged a glance, understanding everything from each other's eyes.

It would take some time for law enforcement officers to arrive, so Wu Xie and Chen Tian didn't leave and just sat by the river.

As more and more dead fish appeared on the river, even those fishing on the riverbank moved away from the shore.

In contrast, Wu Xie and Chen Tian, ​​who were still sitting calmly by the river, stood out.

Many people pointed and whispered at them, but the two of them didn't care and just stared intently at the river.

They had all seen that the resentment that would have been blown away by the wind on the river was no longer being blown away, but instead began to gather little by little.

With the addition of resentment, there were even more dead fish on the river, almost completely covering the surface.

Although the anglers had consciously moved away from the riverbank, they still saw the white expanse on the river surface.

The people who were just shouting that someone was electrofishing have also shut up and stopped talking.

Everyone knows that the number of dead fish in the river is still increasing, which cannot be caused by electrofishing.

One by one, they instinctively stepped back, moving away from the riverbank.

Even though it was still summer, these people felt the wind blowing by inexplicably turned cold, the temperature started to drop, and it was getting a bit chilly.

-

Cuiyue Lake Law Enforcement Bureau.

The person who received the call had dealt with many cases of electrofishing by the river, so as usual, he sent four people to the river to investigate the situation. One of them happened to be from the Luo family.

The police car sped along the road when Luo Qing received a call from the bureau.

"What? The number of dead fish on the river is still increasing? Are these poachers crazy? How big of a motor are they using?"

In the past, people who fished with electricity were usually discovered at the beginning and then caught red-handed.

Luo Qing never expected that the person who called the police this time would say that there was a whole layer of dead fish floating on the river.

Are people who use electricity to fish out of their minds?
Why did they continue electrofishing after being discovered?

Is the current too high and simply uncontrollable?

Countless thoughts flashed through Luo Qing's mind, but he floored the accelerator.

When Luo Qing and his men arrived at the riverbank, they saw a group of people standing some distance away from the water. Judging from the things placed at their feet, they were a group of fishermen.

Luo Qing and his group were on a high place; to reach the river, they had to go down.

That's why they immediately noticed a dense layer of dead fish floating belly up on the river surface.

A sea of ​​white, it was truly frightening to see. Even though Luo Qing and the others had received the call and learned about the situation, they still couldn't help but show expressions of horror when they saw this scene.

"Officers, you've finally arrived! Something's happened in this river; suddenly, dead fish started floating in it. We really didn't use electrofishing!"

Most of the fishermen in this area were familiar with each other. The incident happened suddenly, and everyone hurriedly moved upstream, almost certain that all the fishermen were here.

When the fishermen first called the police, they genuinely believed that someone was deliberately electrofishing, which is illegal, so they naturally had to call the police immediately.

As time went on, the number of dead fish on the river surface increased, and it was obvious to anyone with eyes that something was wrong.

Several timid people even considered leaving immediately.

If it weren't for the police being called, and them having to stay as eyewitnesses, they probably would have left long ago.

"Putting aside the issue of whether or not the fish were electrofished, how long has it been since the dead fish were discovered? Has anything strange happened during this time?"

Luo Qingchong, the fisherman, waved his hand and stared solemnly at the river. He could see a thin layer of resentment floating on the surface.

That's why his heart jumped.

"Well, when I was fishing, a strange young man came up to me and started talking. Also, after seeing the dead fish, he and his friend went to the riverbank. Officers, look, those two are still sitting by the river. I think they might be the ones who caused the dead fish in the river."

They poisoned the river…

The person who answered Luo Qing's question happened to be the same fishing guy Chen Tian had struck up a conversation with earlier. The guy scratched his head and explained earnestly and seriously.

After all, he was fishing here and had never seen Chen Tian before. As a stranger, he had a greater motive to poison the fish in this river.

"Ask and register them one by one. I'll go check on those two!"

By this time, Luo Qing had already spotted the two people sitting by the river. While everyone else had moved away from the riverbank, they stood out as quite unusual.

After giving instructions to his three colleagues, Luo Qing walked towards the river ahead of them.

At this moment, Chen Tian and Wu Xie were indeed staring at the dead fish on the river surface.

They all knew that the other fishermen had already called the police, so even though they were eager to go into the water to check, they had to wait patiently.

Even so, they could see that what was originally just a wisp of resentment had now, in a short time, formed a layer of resentment about ten square meters in size, stirring up the wind and clouds on the river surface.

If it were only this layer of resentment, both Wu Xie and Chen Tian could easily wipe it out. However, something else is spreading rapidly beneath the river; the dead fish floating to the surface are being brought up from the depths of the river.

"I'm saying, if all else fails, I'll just use a trick to get out of the water and take a look! Who knows how long we'll have to wait!" Chen Tian couldn't sit still any longer. Heaven knows what's under the river, but the dead fish on the surface really couldn't be allowed to spread any further.

"Wait a bit longer. This is Luo family territory. I don't believe that with such a commotion on the river, the Luo family won't react at all!"

Compared to Chen Tian's anxiety, Wu Xie appeared much calmer and was able to calmly analyze the current situation.

"Comrades, with so many dead fish floating on the river, why are you still so calmly staying here?"

Just as Wu Xie and Chen Tian were waiting for the Luo family or law enforcement officers to arrive, Luo Qing walked up to them and politely asked what was going on.

"I am Luo Qing, the captain of the first team of the law enforcement bureau. We received a report that a large number of dead fish were suddenly floating on the river."

Now that almost everyone has left the riverbank, why are you two still here?

We kindly request your cooperation in our investigation. Of course, we will never wrongly accuse anyone, nor will we let any suspect who has committed a crime escape justice!

As they were talking, Luo Qing took out his ID to show his identity and asked Chen Tian and Wu Xie questions.

Luo Qing?

And their surname happens to be Luo?

Are they members of the Luo family?
When Luo Qing said his name, Wu Xie and Chen Tian exchanged a glance.

"Officer, I am Wu Xie, and this is my companion Chen Tian. We are just two ordinary tourists who were strolling along the river when we noticed dead fish floating on the surface and wanted to take a closer look."

"Officers, we swear that these dead fish in the river have absolutely nothing to do with us!"

Wu Xie stepped forward and explained to Luo Qing.

Because of Luo Qing's name, Wu Xie couldn't voice some of his suspicions, so he simply concealed his identity and presented himself and Chen Tian as two tourists, which would be more convenient.

Upon hearing Wu Xie's explanation, Luo Qing looked them up and down. No matter how he looked at them, they didn't seem like tourists at all. The main reason was that the two of them had a demeanor that was completely unlike that of ordinary people.

After repeating the two names aloud to make sure he hadn't heard of them before, Luo Qing slowly nodded. "So you're tourists from out of town. Well then, since the riverbank is quite dangerous right now, it would be best if you two left. Of course, for your safety, we would also appreciate it if you could leave your detailed contact information so we can find you promptly if we need anything."

Don't worry, we won't disclose your personal information; it's just a routine check!

Unable to see through Wu Xie and Chen Tian, ​​Luo Qing watched the resentment gradually gathering on the river's surface, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes. Not wanting to waste any more time with Wu Xie and Chen Tian, ​​Luo Qing only wanted to further investigate the river's condition, which was why he was in a hurry to send them away.

"Okay, we'll go register our information with those law enforcement officers right away. Is that alright?"

Seeing the inexplicable anxiety in Luo Qing's words, Wu Xie was certain that Luo Qing was a member of the Luo family. Luo Qing must have seen the resentment that ordinary people couldn't see, which was why he was in such a hurry to let them leave.

Wu Xie responded cooperatively, then pulled Chen Tian, ​​who was about to speak, and walked towards the group of people standing there.

After Luo Qing was left alone by the river, he saw the resentment on the river surface become clearer.

The number of dead fish continues to rise, and this situation cannot be allowed to continue.

Luo Qing gritted his teeth, took out a blank talisman from his pocket, bit his finger, and used his fingertip blood to draw on the talisman.

The pattern is not complicated, but you can vaguely make out an ancient character "罗".

After writing just this one character, Luo Qing's face turned deathly pale. He gasped for breath, clutching his chest with his right hand, showing how incredibly difficult it was for him to draw this talisman.

Luo Qing held on to his last breath, chanted an incantation, and the talisman flew from his hand, almost instantly reaching the river surface.

The red and yellow light flickered erratically, carrying with it a sense of resentment, and sank to the bottom of the water.

As soon as they entered the crowd and were waiting in line to register, Wu Xie and Chen Tian immediately noticed that the resentment on the river had been cleared away.

On the riverbank, only Luo Qing stood with his back to everyone, and no one knew what he had done.

"As expected, he's from the Luo family. This Luo Qing is quite interesting!"

Wu Xie squinted and stared at Luo Qing's back for a while before lowering his voice to speak to Chen Tian.

"Now that he's temporarily resolved the resentment on the river, I can go into the water tonight!"

Chen Tian's focus was indeed different from others; this was the matter he cared about.

Wu Xie was speechless.

"Be careful when we operate tonight. The Luo family will probably come too. Let's avoid a direct confrontation with them for now!"

We definitely need to take action, but we need to discuss the process carefully.

The law enforcement officers in charge of registering the information didn't give Wu Xie and his group too much trouble. Everyone could see that the dead fish on the river had nothing to do with them. They simply registered their names and contact information and let them leave.

As the team leader, Luo Qing knew the reason for the large number of dead fish on the river, but he couldn't report the truth to his superiors. So he simply pushed the matter to the Environmental Protection Bureau and asked them to investigate issues such as river pollution.

As for Luo Qing himself, he rushed back to his family home after get off work.

The Luo family!

Luo Qing was the grandson of the Luo family head, so as soon as he returned, he went straight to see his grandfather.

"What brings you back today?"

The head of the Luo family was sitting in his study reading when he saw Luo Qing return, and a rare smile appeared on his face. Luo Qing usually lived in his own house outside the main residence and rarely returned unless he had something to do.

"Grandpa, the resentment on the river has increased, and today it even covered the entire river with dead fish. Although I used the Luo family's totem to disperse that resentment, I estimate that it can only last for a month at most, or even less!"

Standing before the head of the Luo family, Luo Qing, with a serious expression, quickly recounted what he had done that day.

"What? Those resentful spirits have already surfaced? According to the original calculations, these resentful spirits should have been suppressed for another year, so how come they've surfaced now?"

Upon hearing Luo Qing's words, the head of the Luo family immediately stood up, looking at him with a shocked expression.

He knew that Luo Qing wouldn't joke about something like this.

The head of the Luo family seemed to have aged considerably in an instant, and his body trembled uncontrollably even while standing.

"There's been no news from the Dong family at all, so I suspect the situation isn't good. Right now, our Luo family is in dire straits, barely able to save ourselves."

Ah Qing, now this heavy responsibility falls on your shoulders. Tonight, take a few people underwater to see if the resentment can be purified!
"I'll decide what to do after you've investigated the underwater situation thoroughly!"

With trembling lips, the Luo family head gave Luo Qing his orders.

After giving his instructions, the head of the Luo family practically slumped into his chair.

"Grandpa, Grandpa, are you alright?"

Luo Qing was startled and quickly walked around the table to the head of the Luo family, gently patting him on the back to help him catch his breath.

Even so, it took the Luo family head quite a while to recover. (End of Chapter)
