Chapter 201 The Water Ghost Reappears
Chapter 201 The Water Ghost Reappears
That day everyone saw Prince Pingkang sitting on Xiao Hua's head, riding the wind and waves for more than an hour.
Master Jade Fox also praised Prince Pingkang for his bravery and fearlessness, and that he was a hero of the world...
Everyone felt that they could not see the miserable prince. Lord Jade Fox was clearly playing tricks on him and even praised him to the heavens.
On the eighth day of the fourth lunar month in the Daqi calendar, Yu Linlang and his party slowly docked ashore loaded with gold.
Yu Shoudao and Li Yan were both extremely excited. Yu Shoudao seemed to have seen himself put on the official uniform of a fourth-grade Beijing official and sitting in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Finance.
A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes followed the crowd to the shore.
"Hey, why are there so many people around the shore?" Li Yantong cursed secretly, with a flash of amusement in his eyes.
Could it be that the imperial court knew in advance that they were escorting gold to the shore today, so they sent people to greet them in advance.
Wei Ling took a few glances at the boat rail and said, "Mr. Chen, I look like someone from our Demon Suppression Department."
"That's right." Chen nodded affirmatively, "Didn't you see the snare drum standing in the crowd?"
Wei Ling's eyes widened and she muttered to herself, "Will there be another case?"
Chen Buyu gave her a look, please shut up!
At this time, the ship had slowly pulled over and dropped the anchor.
It was so close that everyone could see it clearly.
Chen Buyu raised his hand to lay his head, looked at the busy colleagues on the shore, and silently looked at Wei Ling.
Just then, Yu Linlang came up holding the old white ape's arm and looked towards the water bank, "What are you doing standing here? Get ready to get off the boat."
Chen Buyu and Wei Ling quickly saluted her, "Master Yuhu, all the people on the shore are ours."
"Maybe there's something going on?"
Everyone saw that Mr. Yuhu's gentle face was cracked, and then he turned around and left expressionlessly.
The white monkey was holding a banana in one hand, and was chirping something as he was being dragged away by Master Jade Fox.
Chen Buyu had no choice but to turn his head and look at the shore.
The boat had stopped, and now they could see clearly that there were not only guards from the Demon Suppression Department lined up on the shore, but also a body covered with white cloth lying on the side.
Several old women were lying beside the corpse, wailing and crying. They seemed to be in great sorrow, but in fact, only they knew the true feelings best in their hearts.
Chen Buyu and Wei Ling got off the boat first and walked towards one of their colleagues and shouted "Snagger."
The sturdy young man named Xiaogu immediately turned his head when he heard the sound and saw them showing big smiles, "Master Chen and Master Wei, you are back."
Chen Buyu stepped forward and patted Xiaogu on the shoulder, "Why are you all here?"
"Hey, fishermen found a female body near here early in the morning. Everyone has been so busy that we can finally confirm the identity of the female deceased."
Wei Ling put on the gauntlet and was about to go over to take a look when she saw a woman wearing the uniform of a demon-suppressing officer coming over.
She is also wearing a green dress with a brocade pattern, a short skirt and a high hat. The woman is described as serious and unsmiling, with a lock of long hair hanging on the left side of her face, which can just cover up the shallow scars on the left half of her face.
As soon as Wei Ling saw the person coming, her eyebrows immediately wrinkled like caterpillars. Her originally smiling face tightened and she revealed a look of solemnity, "Master Zhuang is here too."
Zhuang Qian nodded lightly and glanced behind the two of them. The servants of Yushou Dao and Li Yan's family were getting off the boat with cheers.
After all the troubles along the way, all the luggage has been lost. Fortunately, everyone is safe, which is a blessing in misfortune.
"You are here just in time. The eldest daughter of Mr. Ge, the Minister of Household Affairs, has died. It just so happens that you take people to visit the nearby villages to see if anything suspicious has happened in the past two days." Zhuang Qian took out a thick record book , and pushed it into Wei Ling's hand without permission.
Wei Ling's face suddenly turned bitter.
She thought she could finally take a few days off after returning to Beijing this time!
Chen Buyu asked cautiously, "Master Zhuang, will this case be handed over to our Demon Suppression Department?"
This can't be done. How come the Demon Suppression Department has so much work all of a sudden!
In the past three years, there may not be as many cases as there are now in three months!
Zhuang Qian nodded lightly, "This case may be related to Miss Shen Wu, the noble daughter of Amber Mansion three years ago. Rumors spread in nearby villages that the water ghost from three years ago came out and killed people again. There are many strange things about this matter, and there are also You need to bring someone over to visit."
"Ah." Wei Ling opened her mouth, "I examined Miss Shen Wu three years ago. She was half-dressed and bitten beyond recognition."
Zhuang Qian said "Yes" and said, "The deceased woman is Ge Yanying, the eldest daughter of the household minister Ge Tu's family. She was about 20 years old. Preliminary inspection showed that the deceased woman died in the same way as Miss Shen Wu three years ago. They all drowned with no clothes on, their bellies were distended and their faces were beyond recognition."
"The cause of death was drowning?"
Zhuang Qian shook her head, "It looks like drowning, but that's not necessarily true. The face was bitten very badly. The cause of death needs further examination to confirm."
"Are you sure this water ghost is not man-made?" Wei Ling and Chen Buyu have seen too much along the way!
Whenever a case involving a horrific death occurred, they would always blame it on their demon-suppressing department, but upon further investigation, they discovered that this was not a crime committed by a demon.
People in this world are unpredictable, perhaps even more vicious than demons.
Zhuang Qian glanced at the two of them and replied firmly, "The demon detection bell reacted and detected that there was still some demonic aura left on the deceased woman."
Wei Ling, Chen Buyu and both of them were refreshed.
The serious case is here!
"Sir!" Wei Linggong cupped her hands and spoke righteously, "It's a matter of great importance without further delay. We'd better report this matter to Lord Yuhu as soon as possible!"
Zhuang Qian narrowed her silent eyes, her voice full of doubts, "Master Jade Fox?"
"Yes! Master Yuhu came back to Beijing with us this time." Wei Ling turned her head, trying to search for Master Yuhu in the crowd.
"Master Jade Fox?" Xiao Gu ran forward with a surprised look on his face, "Could it be the person you are talking about I think?"
"Is it possible that there is a second Master Jade Fox in this world?" Wei Ling rolled her eyes, "When Master Jade Fox comes over, I will introduce you to him!"
"Ah! Could it be that the rumors are true? It is said that Master Chitu discovered the trace of Master Jade Fox. He left Beijing alone a while ago just to find Master Jade Fox."
Wei Ling slowly said "?" in her heart, right? Why had she never heard her master mention this?
Even though Zhuang Qian is usually calm and reserved, when she heard about the chief judge, she couldn't help but feel excited, "Really?"
Wei Ling said yes, turned around and saw Mu Zhao and Prince Pingkang slowly getting off the boat, and quickly stepped forward to salute, "Your Majesty, Prince, have you ever seen our Lord Yuhu?"
Both Mu Shizi and Prince Pingkang looked surprised, "Aren't you together?"
"Earlier, Lord Yuhu came to say goodbye to us, saying that she was going back to the city to recover. I thought she was going back to the Demon Suppression Division with you..." Prince Pingkang was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately reacted.
Haha, Master Jade Fox is really a thief. He probably took advantage of the chaos on the boat to escape with the two maids first.
