Chapter 16: The River Goes Wrong


Police lights flashed on the other side of the river, and the crowds stood in the dark.

We squeezed into the crowd and saw the boy kneeling in front of the body covered with white cloth and sobbing.

His reaction said it all.

"Hey, sure."

Wang Weijun punched me and joked.

I was in no mood to pay attention to Wang Weijun.

I just felt that this boy was quite pitiful.

The police quickly took the body away, and the boy was taken in to assist in the investigation.

The crowd dispersed, and Wang Weijun and I went back.

I originally thought that this matter would have nothing to do with me anymore, but I didn’t expect that the boy came to me again two days later and said that he left in a hurry last time and didn’t give me money.

I said that I didn’t do anything and didn’t need to pay, but this boy insisted.

He gave me the money and also made a request, hoping that I would perform a religious ceremony for his girlfriend.

I was in trouble at once.

I only stayed in theory about how to do things.

In addition, Luo Sanshui had warned me.

I was about to refuse Wang Weijun, but he took the money and said it was a good deal.

I pulled Wang Weijun to a corner and scolded him for a few words, but Wang Weijun said: "You are stupid.

You don't make money even if you have money.

This is a very simple matter.

We can just go to the river at night and deal with whatever we want.

What does he, a little kid, know?"

I wanted to say something else, but Wang Weijun pulled the boy and asked about the girl, but I had no choice but to listen.

The two are sophomore art students at Lanjing University.

The boy's name is Tao Ke and the girl's name is Yin Ran.

They have been in a relationship for two years and their relationship is very good.

This time they came to Hetang Town to travel and sketch.

Wang Weijun asked how he found out that Yin Ran was missing.

Tao Ke said that it was all his fault.

He was a poor student from the countryside.

In order to save money, he booked a cheap hotel online.

When he arrived, he saw that the conditions were poor and he stopped talking about the room.

There was still a lingering smell in the room, and even a bottle of toilet water did not help.

As a result, the two of them were not interested in making out at night.

They wanted to change rooms but were told that there were no vacancies.

They also couldn't change hotels, as the hotels in Hetang Town were all closed.

It was full.

The two of them had a little quarrel because of this.

Yin Ran said to go out for some fresh air.

Tao Ke was a little angry and didn't follow him.

It was still early and the street was bustling, so he didn't take it to heart.

Unexpectedly, Yin Ran was still there at 11 or 12 o'clock in the evening.

Tao Ke was anxious now that he didn't come back.

Because he was not familiar with the road, the enthusiastic hotel owner took the initiative to look for him nearby, but he could not find anyone until two o'clock in the morning, and he could not get through on the phone, so he had no choice but to call the police.

The town police on duty at night were short of manpower, so they gave up after searching the area.

They refused to file the case and mobilize manpower because it was less than 24 hours, and just asked Tao Ke to go back to the hotel and wait.

Tao Ke waited in the hotel all night, and the police sent extra manpower to help look for him the next day, but unfortunately they still couldn't find him.

Tao Ke later found Calligraphy and Painting Street, and we all know what happened next.

When Wang Weijun heard this, he looked like he hated iron, and sighed: "Oh, brother, what do you mean by this?

Girls need romance, and of course they are not interested in a bad environment.

Maybe if you can spend more money."

Seeing that Wang Weijun was getting more and more outrageous, I quickly coughed, and then he stopped.

For poor students in rural areas, saving is their virtue.

It is not a question of spending more money at all.

What happens happens is because of luck.

"What do the police say now?"

I asked.

"The police conducted an autopsy and said he died from drowning.

Homicide, suicide, or accident could all be possible.

Yin Ran had a cheerful personality and would not commit suicide over trivial matters.

As for the possibility of homicide, it is not very likely.

This is our first time in Hetang Town.

I don't know anyone here at all.

A motive is needed to commit suicide.

It is most likely an accident.

Yin Ran can't swim, but it's my fault anyway."

Tao Ke lowered his head in frustration as he spoke.

I comforted him a few words and asked him what his plans were next.

Tao Ke slowly raised his head, put away his sadness and said, "Yin Ran's parents have rushed to Hetang Town to identify the body, and they had a conflict with me.

They thought I was the one who killed Yin Ran.

Maybe I was the one who killed him.

I also asked the police to investigate me thoroughly.

I do not deny that the quarrel indirectly caused Yin Ran's death, but I deny that I killed Yin Ran. , these are two different things.

I can't let a basin of dirty water be poured on myself.

If the hotel owner hadn't served as a time witness for me, I would still be a suspect now, so I will continue to stay in Hetang Town until the matter is cleared up.

So far, not only to clear my name, but the most important thing is to prevent Yin Ran from dying unexplained."

I can understand Tao Ke's decision.

Rural children value dignity very much because they are poor.

After Tao Ke left, I blamed Wang Weijun for being troublesome, but Wang Weijun ignored me and kept counting the money.

After counting, he said there were one thousand yuan.

I frowned, but Tao Ke didn't want to save the dozens of yuan he spent staying in the hotel.

This amount was right.

It's not a small thing for him, and the money is definitely not easy to come by.

If we just deal with it perfunctorily, it would be a bit too much.

Wang Weijun persuaded me to open the door more.

He said that opening the door to do business is not the same as opening a charity.

If you feel sorry for others, you should just close the door.

As for doing things, I learned the process from books and knew how to do it.

But the biggest problem is my identity.

Doing things has strict requirements on the identity of the person who performs them.

It doesn’t mean that you can do it just by studying it.

You must truly worship the ancestor.

It only works after entering the door, just like an ornament needs to be illuminated to become spiritual.

Seeing that I was silent, Wang Weijun patted me on the shoulder and said, "You can worry about me while I'm here.

Leave everything to me tonight.

Just watch from the side."

"You can do it" I asked back.

"Wanyu really needs to worship the ancestor and be recognized before he can invite the true god.

Of course I can't do it, and you can't do it either.

But I, Wang Weijun, who is playing in the virtual world, am much better than you.

Don't think about it.

It's just a happy decision. ."

After Wang Weijun finished speaking, he ran to the back of the store and went to sleep.

At this point, I have nothing to do.

At ten minutes past midnight, everything was quiet.

Wang Weijun put on Luo Sanshui's Taoist robe.

After packing his ritual bag, he motioned for me to call Tao Ke.

I was very hesitant, but in the end I had no choice but to call.

After Tao Ke arrived, the three of us set off.

On the way, Wang Weijun said that he needed to open a forum at the place where Yin Ran was picked up.

In the afternoon, he contacted the proprietress of Yipinxiang and borrowed a boat, so we got on the boat when we arrived at the ferry. river.

I know very well what Wang Weijun is up to.

Firstly, it is to look professional to Tao Ke, and secondly, it is to stay away from the Calligraphy and Painting Street to avoid trouble.

After all, we are not the only Feng Shui shop on the Calligraphy and Painting Street.

We are all in the same industry.

If we find out What we did was not authentic.

If word spread, it would ruin our reputation.

This is why he chose to come out at midnight.

I sat on the stern of the boat with a compass and looked up at the moonlight.

The moon tonight was obscured by thin clouds and was hazy, which is conducive to the night movement of shadowy things.

In fact, it is not suitable to go out at this point, but the weather is unpredictable.

In about half an hour, we arrived at the place where Yin Ran was picked up.

After the boat stopped, Wang Weijun put down the bamboo poles for punting the boat, burned incense and lit lanterns on the bow of the boat, placed ritual objects, and sprinkled some glutinous rice on the river and began to chant mantras.

When chanting sutras, perhaps only he himself knows what mantras and sutras he recited.

Wang Weijun read for a while, and when he saw Tao Ke's anxious expression, he changed his tactics, took out his mahogany sword, poked the talisman, and ignited a wave of swings.

Looking at the full posture, Tao Ke, a college student, was stunned for a while.

If I had been in the past, I might have been able to be fooled by him, but now I see that his approach is completely out of sequence and chaotic.

I felt a little sorry for Tao Ke.

One thousand yuan was wasted like this.

I couldn't get on and couldn't explain to him.

I couldn't smash Luo Sanshui's sign.

I had no choice but to sit on the stern of the boat without seeing it.

As soon as I put down the compass, I suddenly found that the compass needle moved abnormally in Tianchi, deviating from the black meridian line, and the needle began to sink.

I was worried that it was caused by the slight shaking of the ship, so I made a point of observing it for a while, but it remained in this state, and my heart suddenly rose to my throat.

The deviation of the compass needle from the black meridian line meant that there was an aura nearby, and the compass needle was sinking.

In the Compass Sutra, it is called a sinking needle, which represents the intervention of Yin Qi.

Wang Weijun on the bow of the boat was in a daze, and I couldn't breathe smoothly because I noticed the strange changes around me.

Apart from Wang Weijun's chanting of mantras, no other sounds could be heard on the dark river.

This is extremely abnormal.

At the same time, fog began to appear on the river at some point, causing visibility to get lower and lower.

This situation can be caused by the strong energy of the nearby Yin Qi field, which can blind people's senses and form a so-called barrier, trapping people in it and unable to get out.

If they don't find a way to break it, they are likely to be trapped to death.

As for I don’t know how he died:
