Mysterious city

"Consultant Jiang, I heard that you are an expert in special cases. Is this special about the water ghost you just mentioned?"

"Is it the monster like the water monkey that was circulated on the Internet some time ago? But that kind of creature shouldn't be able to kill people in the sink."

Yang Ran stated many of her conjectures in succession. In her opinion, Jiang Zhe was probably an expert in the study of some organisms unknown to ordinary people.

"It's a little different from what you imagined, but it's almost the same."

Jiang Zhe said casually. He took out the monster compass from his arms and injected some spiritual power into it to activate it.

Due to the protection of the windbreaker, Yang Ran did not see the flash of light blue spiritual power.

Soon, the compass responded, and the two pointers began to roll rapidly.

It's just that both the pointer pointing in the direction and the pointer indicating the monster's level are constantly swinging up and down, with no intention of stopping at all.

"It seems this guy is difficult to deal with."

Jiang Zhe frowned and thought to himself.

Although he is now certain that the so-called water ghost is caused by monsters, the monster compass cannot bring him specific information.

Thinking about it, if the monster is really moving in the water, there are rivers surrounding Li Village, and it is normal for its position to be erratic.

"Consultant Jiang, what is that in your hand? Is it an indicator to find that strange creature?"

Just when Jiang Zhe was thinking carefully with the compass, Yang Ran had already stretched his head over, looked at the compass in Jiang Zhe's hand and asked curiously.

"Roughly the same."

Jiang Zhe still didn't want to explain too much. If you don't have personal experience with this kind of thing, you won't be able to explain it clearly in a short while.

The water monkey that Yang Ran was talking about was actually just a rumor, a fake monster made by someone using a leather sheath.

"Wow, he looks so awesome."

"Consultant Jiang, can you tell me about the strange creatures you study, besides water monkeys, what other strange creatures are there?"

Yang Ran looked at Jiang Zhe with an expression of admiration, and his fear seemed to be diluted by curiosity.

"Comrade Yang Ran, let's finish our current affairs first and investigate the case clearly."

"Also, the things I study are not cute animals. If you are not scared after seeing it this time, I will explain it to you in the future."

Jiang Zhe spread his hands helplessly. They were not playing some "Fantastic Beasts" game.

After hearing Jiang Zhe's words, Yang Ran wisely closed his mouth.

"It's better to ask the villagers about the situation first."

Jiang Zhedao said that when he acted alone in the past, he often encountered situations where the compass was ineffective against monsters and his eyesight went black.

At that time, I could only make a mistake. After all, I couldn't investigate openly and would inevitably waste a lot of time.

But it's different now. With the title of consultant of the Ministry of Public Security, he can understand the situation from the people involved in the case openly, which will undoubtedly save a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Thinking about this, this is probably why Kenshin and Chen Hao chose to cooperate with the Ministry of Public Security.

It's evening now, which is supposed to be the busiest time in the village.

Everyone has finished their day's work and should gather together to chat and joke.

But Jiang Zhe took Yang Ran for a long distance and didn't see anyone moving in the village.

"It's so strange. Is everyone afraid of monsters and afraid to come out?"

Yang Ran has been staying close to Jiang Zhe. This girl now seems to believe that there are unknown monsters in the world.

Zhang Nan and Li Jun were noncommittal. If they had not seen it with their own eyes, they would not believe that such a thing existed.

As for Zhao Xin, this guy was very tough and said he didn't believe it, even if he really existed, he wouldn't be afraid.

But Jiang Zhe can see through this kind of ability at a glance. If he really encounters a monster, that guy will definitely be the first to escape!

"It's better to knock on the door and ask."

Jiang Zhe didn't want more people to be killed because of the delay in the case, so he knocked on the door of a courtyard.

"Is anyone here? We were sent by the Sheriff's Department to learn about the case."

Jiang Zhe knocked on the door and shouted that he finally had this gold medal token, so of course he had to make good use of it.

But the two of them knocked on several doors one after another, but no one answered, let alone opened the door.

"Is there any activity and everyone is not at home?"

Yang Ran thought it might be something like a market opened today, and everyone went to the town to attend the market.

As for the sacrifice, it probably won't be during this season, unless there are some different traditions here.

"No, you see, every family's car is parked outside, and some people have lights on in their rooms."

Jiang Zhe shook his head and pointed to several cars parked on the roadside.

The standard of living in this village is indeed good, and they have even seen several BBAs along the way.

Yang Ran thought about it carefully and found that this was indeed the case.

The town is still quite far away from here, so it would be unreasonable not to drive.

And along the way, she did see a few houses with lights on. After all, it was already very dark now.

After knocking on several doors but getting no response, Jiang Zhe almost gave up.

But at this moment, the iron door behind him opened with a creak.

"Who are you and what's wrong?"

A little boy of about eight or nine years old timidly poked his head out of the door and looked at Jiang Zhe and Yang Ran with fear and curiosity.

Jiang Zhe glanced at Yang Ran. To deal with such a timid little boy, a young and lovely elder sister would have to take action.

Yang Ran was also smart and understood immediately. She took a step forward, squatted gently in front of the little boy, and said softly: "Kid, we are the Sheriff here to investigate the case, and we want to ask you something."

"You helped us, and you will be a big hero in the village after the case is solved."

Jiang Zhe's brows jumped. He didn't expect Yang Ran to be quite good at coaxing children.

"."

Unfortunately, the little boy did not answer Yang Ran, but the expression on his face no longer looked so scared.

"Are your parents home? Can you let them talk to us?"

Yang Ran then continued to persuade, but there were still some obstacles in communicating with children. Even if he was not afraid of himself, he might not be able to explain the information about the case clearly.

Moreover, children of this age are generally not allowed to get involved in such things at home. It is still a matter of debate whether he knows or not!

"My parents haven't come home yet. They are usually already at home at this moment."

The little boy shook his head, and then as if he thought of something again, the expression on his face became frightened again.

"Brothers and sisters, please leave here quickly, or you will be eaten by monsters!"
