Liaozhai: I just want salted fish with invincible magical powers

Chapter 2 The Invisible Murderer
During the questioning in the lobby earlier, Hu Qian was feeling troubled, and a reminder suddenly flashed in his mind.

[Go to the Changshi Office to ask about the situation]

It looks like the automatic task navigation of a third-rate web game.

Although it is a bit strange, according to this hint, the case is likely to be solved.

That's why he said those words.

After all, he had just crossed over, and there was a soft jade and gentle lady waiting on the bed, so he couldn't just die like this.

Seeing Hu Qian's confident appearance, both Hu Butong and Xu Yuanfang felt that they could give it a try—it was better than sitting still and waiting for death.

As the night darkened, the post where Princess Zhennan stayed was still brightly lit.

I heard that Hu Butong and Xu Yuanfang asked to see each other, not only Chang Shi Qian Junhua came to meet, but also Princess Wu Ruoyu came to the hall.

"Can you catch the murderer?"

As soon as the princess met, she hurriedly asked a question.

Seeing that Hu Buyi shook her head, she sighed softly and sat on the chair silently.

"My concubine's condolences, I'm here this time to ask about the circumstances of the crime, so that we can arrest the murderer as soon as possible to avenge the prince, I don't know..."

Qian Junhua pondered for a while, "At that time, the prince said that he was tired from driving, so he got out of the car to rest for a while, and then he heard '噗嗤' a few times, and then the prince fell to the ground crying out in pain."

Hu BuTong showed embarrassment.

What Chang Shi said was the same as what Xu Yuanfang said, and it seemed that he couldn't ask anything.

It was Hu Qian who suddenly said, "Your Excellency, did you hear the sound of '噗嗤'?"

Qian Junhua didn't speak immediately, but looked at Hu Butong, who hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "This is Hu Qian, the dog. Usually...knows a lot about how to solve cases, so..."

Qian Junhua said: "I did hear it."

Hu Qian asked again: "Apart from this, are there any other sounds, such as human voices?"

"No, it was the daytime thing, and I remember it very clearly."

"Where are the others? Didn't you hear that?"

"I checked afterwards, and no one heard the human voice."

"Are there any abnormal conditions around? For example, does the wind become stronger, does it suddenly feel cold, or does the sky darken?"

Chang Shi frowned, and then replied: "It was sunny and sunny at that time, there was nothing unusual, and I didn't feel cold."

Hu Qian nodded, then turned to the princess and said, "Dare to ask the princess, what did the prince do after getting off the car?"

"The prince felt stuffy in the car. After getting out of the car, he just quietly looked at the river not far away, took a sip of wine, and then something happened."

"Princess forgive me, may I ask if the lord has any enemies here?"

"My lord is kind and kind, and I hardly have any grudges with others. This time, the elders of my family passed away. My lord came here specially to accompany me. I have never been here before. Who would have thought that..."

He even started crying.

At this moment, the reminder in Hu Qian's mind suddenly changed.

[Go to the crime scene to check]

The three immediately resigned and left.

After returning to the back house of the county government office, Hu Butong immediately asked, "Qian'er, did you find anything?"

Hu Qian said: "Before answering this question, I want to ask a question first. Based on what we know so far, is it possible for normal people to do it?"

"You mean, what kind of ghost might the murderer be?"

"Uncle is very knowledgeable, have you heard of such things?"

When he first traveled through time, Hu Qian knew from the memory of the original owner that it was the Guangde period of the Dagan Dynasty, an era similar to the Ming Dynasty, but there were no such things as mountain spirits and ghosts.

But Zhennan King's method of death really overturned his cognition, if it wasn't for ghosts, who would be able to do such a thing.

Xu Yuanfang nodded, "If you talk about ghosts, I heard from someone before that there is a Lanruo Temple in Guobei County, Jinling Prefecture. It has been abandoned for a long time and is often haunted by ghosts, but I don't know whether it is true or not."

Hu Qianru was struck by lightning.

Lanruo Temple!
For him who is familiar with the stories of Liaozhai, this place is comparable to places of interest.

and so……

This turned out to be the world of Liaozhai.

"Qian'er, do you suspect that the murderer is a ghost or something?"

Hu Qian nodded.

"If it's a human, we can arrest it, but this ghost...

You and I don't have the ability to subdue demons and catch ghosts, how can we catch them.

Besides, if we offend them, we will be in disaster. "

Hu Qian said: "Sometimes ghosts are much easier to deal with than people. It's late at night, so father should go to bed early. My child already has a clue about the murderer."

Seeing that Hu Qian was confident, Hu Budong and Xu Yuanfang nodded and went back to rest.

Back in the bedroom, Shen Yuzhen was still sitting neatly on the bed.

Maybe it was because she was extremely sleepy, she had already fallen asleep leaning on the head of the bed.

After tossing and tossing all night, Hu Qian had already lost that thought, but seeing her beautiful face, the feeling of exhaustion in her body suddenly disappeared a lot.

He slowly hugged her on the bed, intending to remove her coat.

When she was undoing the belt of her robe, she suddenly woke up and subconsciously clutched her clothes tightly.

"Master, you are back."

Seeing that it was Hu Qian, her face blushed immediately, and she thought about what her mother said about the boudoir when she was about to get married, and felt that since they were husband and wife, it seemed impolite to cover them like this.

When he was at a loss, Hu Qian said softly: "Don't be afraid, my lady, I just undress for you, so that you can sleep more comfortably this way."

"me……"

When she hesitated, Hu Qian had already slowly taken off her coat, and helped her remove the phoenix crown and jade ornament.

"Thank you... Xianggong... I should be a concubine serving Xianggong to change clothes..."

She was so tense that her body stiffened and she was at a loss.

Hu Qian took off his clothes and got under the quilt.

"Lady, go to bed early."

She was trembling with nervousness at first, but after waiting for a while, seeing that Hu Qian had really fallen asleep, she couldn't help turning her head to look at him again.

I only felt that Hu Qian was handsome and extraordinary, and there was a kind of rare gentleness, and my uneasy heart immediately calmed down a lot.

Silent all night.

When the day just dawned, Hu Qian had already arrived at Hongshuihe with Hu Budong, Xu Yuanfang, Shi Qian Junhua, the governor of the palace, Wang Enze, the county government official, and twenty fast-track government servants.

"right here."

Qian Junhua led the crowd all the way to the crime scene.

As he said, this place is next to the official road, and the field of vision is extremely wide. If there are people, they can see it from a long distance.

Below the official road is the Hongshui River. At this time, the river is extremely turbid, and just like its name - the water is red.

Hu Qian asked: "Mr. Wang, do you know why the Hongshui River is so colorful?"

Wang Enze stroked his beard and said, "The Hongshui River is a branch of the Changgan River, flowing from Xixiangji.

In fact, there are two branches, the other one is called Qingshui River.

Qingshui River and Hongshui River are separated in Xixiangji, one facing east and one facing south.

Usually, there is nothing unusual about the two rivers, but every season, the Qingshui River is still the Qingshui River, but the color of the Hongshui River changes to what it is now. "

Hu Bu nodded, "I know that too."

Hu Qian said: "What do you mean, sir, the color of the Hongshui River is not like this?"

"Yes, the original color of the Hongshui River is no different from that of ordinary river water, only at this time.

At this time, people in this place are taboo to go near the river, saying that it is a ghost crossing the river.

Although the river is not wide, please see, the river is very fast, and it is difficult to cross without a bridge.

Three years ago, two brave brothers waded across the river, but one drowned and the other disappeared. "

Hearing this, Chang Shi Qian Junhua's face suddenly changed slightly.

Hu Qian glanced at him, and was about to speak, when he heard a "puchi", and then Qian Junhua screamed "ah", and fell to the ground.

"who!"

It was the first time for Hu Qian to encounter such a thing, so he suppressed his fear and let out a drink.

However, there was nothing around, and when he looked at Qian Junhua again, a dagger was stuck in his chest, bleeding profusely, and he seemed to be dying.
