Chapter 49 The Legend of the River God

This coldness comes and goes away just as quickly.

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

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, Yu Hang 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 took a rough look.

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

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

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

With good mountains and good water, the livestock raised are also very big.

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

It’s quite fat here.

Yu Hang felt that if anyone was hired here, he would probably be higher than the monthly salary he received.

“Everyone spread out and checked each household carefully.”

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

 Investigation is the most basic and important step.

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

 Don't just take other people's word for it.

 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 was a faint sound of crying in the room.

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

 Fortunately it is not night now, so he can see clearly.

 Two people were wiping away tears.

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

 You don’t need to look at it 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 their tears.

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

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

Yu Hang has investigated many cases, but this is the first time he encountered this situation. He stretched out his hands in a 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 here, please, please save my son!”

“We, two of us, have only received such a child at such an old age, and now it is missing. If we can’t find him, how will we live?”

Yu Hang sighed when he heard the woman's cry. He 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?"

 Bereaved in middle age.

Moreover, having a son and then losing a son in middle age is certainly not a good feeling for them.

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. Trying our best to handle the case 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’s almost night time, everyone has fallen asleep.

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

　　The cry alarmed the whole 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 official.

"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 have been unhappy, so he captured boys and girls as sacrifices."

The middle-aged man quickly glared: "What nonsense 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, and then understood.

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

 After the founding of the 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.

 Middle-aged men also know that their mother-in-law talks nonsense, so they can only explain it.

"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 sketch.

Yu Hang probably understood it, but he didn’t ask any more questions about it. He left the room with something on his mind and headed 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.

There is not much content in the report, but everyone is consistent with it, and it is no different from what Village Chief Wang said.

Sun Captou heard this and was in trouble.

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

Originally, I just wanted to get more salary, but I didn’t expect that within a few days, I would get slapped with a plan and 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 getting a little angry: "If any of you have an idea, please tell me quickly. I'll report your efforts and you'll get the reward. ?"

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

If this is done well, it will naturally lead to wealth; if it is done poorly, it will lead to sin.

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 he must be better than rough guys like them.

"Say it!"

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

 “We should go to Qingliu River to have a look.”
