This coldness came and went away just as quickly.

If Yu Hang hadn't really felt it and shivered, he would have thought it was just an illusion.

The other detectives also felt this way, but none of them took it seriously. Only Yu Hang took it to heart.

He has experienced it!

Especially after seeing the former teacher transform into a gray rat beast, he would never forget that feeling in his life.

When the coldness hit, Yuhang was careful and held the knife handle tighter.

Village Chief Wang was still walking inside, introducing the situation in the village as he walked.

Yu Hang listened briefly.

Although Qingliu Village looks small, it is not actually poor.

On the contrary, the harvest and other things in this village are better than those in the surrounding villages.

The land here is fertile, and basket after basket of food is grown.

The mountains are good and the water is good, and the livestock they raise are huge.

Just looking at the houses built by the surrounding villagers, you can see something strange.

It's pretty fat here.

Yu Hang felt that if anyone could be hired here, he would be able to earn more than his monthly salary.

"Everyone spread out and checked each household carefully."

After hearing this, Capt. Sun began to act as usual.

Inspection is the most basic and important step.

When police officers arrive at a place and want to handle the case here, the first thing they must do is understand the situation.

Don't take other people's words at their word.

You have to collect it yourself.

There is nothing wrong with this step.

Everyone also dispersed, and everyone went to talk to a few villagers.

After they dispersed, Yu Hang found a room alone.

There were faint sounds of crying inside the house.

Yu Hang could see that the door of the house was open, and there were no lights inside, making it slightly dark.

Fortunately, it was not night now, so he could see clearly.

Two people were wiping tears.

One is a short and stocky middle-aged man, and the other is a slightly fat middle-aged woman.

You don't need to look to know that these two people should be husband and wife, and they have lost their child, so they are so sad.

When the villagers inside heard Yu Hang's footsteps, they immediately stopped crying and wiped away their tears.

Especially the middle-aged woman, who had already ran out in a hurry.

Before Yu Hang could say anything, the middle-aged woman knelt down in front of Yu Hang with a snap.

Yu Hang had also investigated many cases, but this was the first time he encountered this situation. He reached out in panic, trying to lift the middle-aged woman up.

But before he could take action, the middle-aged woman kowtowed three times and cried loudly.

"Sir, you are finally here. Please save my son!"

"We, as a couple, have only received such a child at such an old age, and now it is missing. How can we live if we can't find him!"

When Yu Hang heard the woman's cries, he sighed and could only help the woman up and walked into the house while persuading her.

Compared with women, middle-aged men are much calmer.

The middle-aged man hurriedly scolded him for a few words, and then said with a choked voice: "Sir, do you have any investigation results?"

Losing a son in middle age.

Moreover, they still had a child in middle age and then lost a child. Of course, they felt uncomfortable with this feeling.

Although I don’t know if the child is still alive, even if he is alive at this age, he will suffer all kinds of sins.

Yu Hang said: "We have just arrived. Let's ask you about the situation first. Don't worry, we will try our best to handle the case."

In this regard, Yu Hang could only persuade him.

Do your best to handle the case, which is the greatest relief to these people.

The middle-aged man nodded and quickly told what happened.

What he said was exactly the same as what Village Chief Wang said.

It's just some details that are different, and those details don't matter.

It was roughly night time and everyone was already asleep.

One of the villagers got up and went to the hut, found that the child was missing, and immediately started crying.

The cry shocked the entire village, and soon after, villagers with children found that all their children were missing.

They searched all night and found nothing, so they reported it to the police.

"I see."

Yu Hang also had a general understanding, and he planned to go to the next house and continue asking.

The middle-aged woman next to her stopped crying and said abruptly: "It's all your fault. It's late to worship the River God this year. The River God must be unhappy, so he captured boys and girls as sacrifices."

The middle-aged man quickly glared: "What are you talking about? The River God has always protected Qingliu Village's harvest, how can you blame this?"

River god?

Yu Hang was stunned for a moment, then understood.

Da Chu was only established ten years ago, and the country before that was called a state in pieces.

After the establishment of the Great Chu State, it developed rapidly in just ten years, but there were also many shortcomings.

For example, the cultural customs of various places.

The culture and customs of each place are different and there is no uniformity.

As for unifying these things, it is not yet time.

"What is the River God?" Yu Hang stopped and asked.

The middle-aged man also knew that his mother-in-law was talking nonsense, so he could only explain.

"Sir, this is the traditional custom of our Qingliu Village. Because Qingliu Village is close to the Qingliu River, it got this name. Every year, we worship the river god."

As he spoke, the middle-aged man gave a rough description.

Yu Hang probably understood, but he didn't ask any more questions about it. With something in mind, he left the room and went to another house.

The village is not big, but it took a lot of time to interrogate each household.

About half an hour later, the detectives gathered in the open space in the middle and reported everything they had interrogated.

The content of the report was not much, but everyone was consistent, and it was no different from what Village Chief Wang said.

When Capt. Sun heard this, he was in trouble.

He always felt that he was really unlucky after receiving this position.

Originally, I just wanted to get more salary, but I didn't expect that in just a few days, I would be slapped with a slap on the wrist, and I would end up involved in this matter.

If you really report this situation back, the county magistrate will definitely be furious.

"I asked you to check something, but what did you check?" Capt. Sun was already a little angry: "If any of you have an idea, please tell me quickly. I will report your achievements and you will receive the reward. ?"

None of the detectives wanted to say anything, so they all lowered their heads.

If you say this well, you will naturally get rich; if you say it badly, you will be guilty.

Yu Hang looked left and right, then raised his right hand: "I have it!"

He felt that if this continued, there would be no progress.

But he already has some ideas here.

Sun Captou's eyes lit up.

This Yu Hang is a scholar and must be better than rough guys like them.

"Say it!"

"The matter should be related to the River God." Yu Hang explained the things about the River God and added one sentence at the end.

"We should go to Qingliu River to see it."
