Mysterious city

Jiang Zhe's ideas coincided with Zhang Nan's.

If we go by the previous assumptions, the murderer must be someone who often hangs out near Li Village.

If there are people from other villages who have excellent water skills, people in Li Village will definitely be alert after the first murder.

"Then in my opinion, there are two possibilities."

"The first is that Villager Li and the 'Water Ghost' are co-conspirators, or the murderer himself is a villager."

After listening to Jiang Zhe's words, Yang Ran thought for a moment, then shook his head and said: "Probably not. If there are foreign tourists among the victims, this assumption is still possible."

"But I just looked through the files and found that the deceased were all locals of Li Village. How could they harm the people in the village?"

In this kind of village that has existed for a long time, most of the villagers are related to each other. Why would they want to harm their relatives?

"Not necessarily. Even if the relationship is a close one, there will definitely be a relationship."

"Even cases of father and son killing each other are not uncommon, let alone villagers who live together in the same village day and night. If there is any conflict that leads to a vendetta, it is normal."

Li Jun opened his mouth and said, for example, when he was a child, people in the village often had conflicts over some daily squabbles.

It is common for neighbors who live in harmony one moment to swing knives at each other the next.

"But these victims seem to be obviously unrelated. If the murderer is from Li Village, or conspires with Li Village people, he can't have a grudge against the entire village, right?"

Yang Ran was a little confused, because among the seven deceased, there were four children and three women, and they were not from the same family.

"What you two said makes sense."

Zhang Nan nodded towards Yang Ran and Li Jun. This was exactly the development she was looking forward to.

Only by intensely discussing the case and expressing each other's opinions can we bring more ideas and the case can be solved as soon as possible.

If everyone is lifeless and only agrees with one person's point of view, it will limit the thinking and make the case reach a deadlock.

"Consultant Jiang, please tell me about the second possibility."

Jiang Zhe nodded and said without hesitation: "I know you may not believe me if I tell you."

"But the second possibility I want to talk about is that water ghosts may be real, but they are just creatures that you have not understood."

Since Chen Hao has said that he can openly disclose it, even if there is any accident, the Memory Correction Department will cover it up, so Jiang Zhe has nothing to hide.

Otherwise, if this continues, their direction of solving the case will only be misdirected, and they will find nothing in the end.

After listening to Jiang Zhe's words, the huge room fell silent for an instant, so quiet that you could even hear the sound of a fine needle falling to the ground.

Yang Ran, Li Jun, and Zhao Xin all changed their expressions, and Yang Ran shrank into Zhang Nan's arms in fear.

Except for Jiang Zhe, Zhang Nan was the only one who did not show a look of fear, but looked solemn, as if he was thinking about something.

The more she considered the circumstances of the case, the more she realized that almost all possibilities were invalid.

Is it possible that there are really things in the world that science cannot explain, and this is why the minister wants to send this mysterious young consultant to accompany them?

"Jiang, Consultant Jiang, are you saying that there is really something dirty in this village?"

Yang Ran huddled next to Zhang Nan and asked incoherently.

Jiang Zhe nodded, maybe this explanation would be easier for them to understand.

Zhao Xin smiled disdainfully and said sarcastically: "Consultant Jiang, I don't think you are a magician, are you?"

"There is nothing dirty in this world. Is it possible that you still want to perform rituals for Li Cun again?"

Jiang Zhe didn't want to talk to him at all, but turned to Zhang Nan and said: "Team Zhang, I suggest we go out and investigate before making a conclusion."

Zhang Nan nodded when he heard this, clapped his hands and said: "Okay, we are divided into two teams, Zhao Xin, Li Jun and I are in one team, Xiao Ran, you and Advisor Jiang are in one team."

"Is there really a ghost, or is someone pretending to be a ghost? We will investigate carefully today!"

Since Zhao Xin and Jiang Zhe showed a strong smell of gunpowder as soon as they met, Zhang Nan will not let the two team up for the time being to avoid any mistakes.

After hearing that he and Zhang Nan were assigned to the same team without Jiang Zhe, Zhao Xin's face suddenly lit up with joy.

"Before departure, there is one very important thing."

"Please circulate this file carefully."

Zhang Nan took out another black file bag, which was densely wrapped with thread several times without any literal markings.

"Is there another dossier?"

Zhao Xin took the portfolio bag from Zhang Nan first and couldn't wait to open it to read.

After all, there were two different files on one case, and this was the first time he encountered such a strange thing.

But just after taking a look, Zhao Xin's expression changed drastically.

"what is it?"

Yang Ran and Li Jun curiously took the file from the frozen Zhao Xin's hand. After taking a look, they gasped.

"Yes, someone drowned in the sink?"

Yang Ran could hardly believe his eyes. This sounded too unbelievable, right?

Zhang Nan nodded with a heavy face, which was why she was puzzled.

This alone almost eliminates all possibilities of accidental death.

The water in the sink was only just enough to cover the person's face. If there was no murderer, how could the person be drowned?

As soon as this hidden information came out, almost all of Zhang Nan's thoughts were blocked except for the supernatural phenomena. This is why she didn't let everyone know about the hidden case at the beginning.

She was worried that the entire team's thinking would be restricted.

But we are about to go out to investigate. If we don't let everyone know this, I'm afraid they won't have time to react when they encounter danger.

"It's useless to talk more. Let's discuss it after we have done the investigation."

The atmosphere in the room was extremely depressing. Zhang Nan sighed and walked out of the room first.

Zhao Xin and Li Jun followed closely behind. Jiang Zhe glanced at the dumbfounded Yang Ran, opened the door and walked out.

At this point, he was almost 100% sure that there was a monster causing trouble in the village.

"Sister Nan, Consultant Jiang, wait for me!"

After being stunned for a long time, Yang Ran came back to her senses. When she saw that she was the only one left in the room, she couldn't help but trembled, and immediately shouted and rushed out of the room, following the large army.

After coming out of the hotel, everyone followed Zhang Nan's instructions and divided into two teams to investigate separately.

The days in this season are already very short now, and when everyone sets foot on the land of Li Village, the sky is already slightly dark.

Yang Ran was originally following Jiang Zhe, but a gust of cold wind blew by, and a look of fear immediately appeared on her little face.

She hurriedly followed Jiang Zhe, trying to keep her body as far away from the winding river on the side of the road as if she was afraid that a ghost would suddenly jump out of the river and eat her.
