Chen Qian finished a breakfast that was not so pleasant for him, put on his coat and prepared to go out for a mission.

Before leaving the door, he stood behind the open door and turned around and asked Lu Li: "Boss, have you really decided to take the next ghost's entrustment?"

"Um."

Chen Qian shrugged, said nothing, and closed the door and left.

The sound of footsteps disappeared behind the door.

After lunch alone, Lu Li packed up the dishes and garbage in an orderly manner and returned to the desk.

He turned on the computer and searched the information of the drowning person in Tang He online.

There are very few news that can be found, and in the only news of drowning, age and identity cannot correspond to water ghosts.

Maybe he was wrong, the death of the ghost had nothing to do with Tang He, and it might not even be drowning - everything was subjectively guessed by Lu Li through the water stains on the water ghost's body and standing next to the river.

In any case, it will be clear when Chen Qian comes back.

Lu Li did not doubt Chen Qian's business level.

And this wait took several hours.

At dusk, the west mountain is burning in the sky.

The setting sun shone into the detective agency, and the clock was covered with a layer of blood.

The hour hand has fallen to its lowest point.

Time passed quietly, blood wandering on the ceiling, and finally disappeared behind other buildings with the sunset, and instantly disappeared.

The house was in dimness.

The figure in the boss's chair seemed to have come alive at this moment, and turned on the phone to dial a number.

"Is there any news?"

The steady voice sounded in the increasingly dark detective agency.

"With the boss, I'm on the way to Shaoyun Township." Chen Qian's voice on the other side was noisy.

"Where is the clue?"

"Well, it's not convenient for me to say on the bus. Maybe the victim's family is here, and the situation is very similar to what you said, so I'll check it out. Um... it's about two hours."

"Understood."

Hang off the phone, Lu Li stood up and stretched his slender torso.

It's already dark, it's time to do something.

Walking to the side of the coffee table, Lu Li picked up the kitchen knife on the coffee table and held it in front of him.

Flip the blade, and a cold light flashed across the arc-shaped blade, no one would be able to make it look sharp.

The threat of guns to ghosts has been tested, as for whether the knife is useful...

It will be clear if you find a ghost to stab it a few times.

For example, a disgusting water ghost.

...

On Guluo Street after the sunset, street lights and signs light up one after another. This place is still prosperous, and the merchants and pedestrians have not yet dispersed.

In the river below the pedestrian street, five young people gathered in front of the sewer railings, and from time to time there was a conversation sound blown over the sky by the wind.

"Why are we going to explore this dirty sewer..." Lin Yu, with exquisite makeup, hugged his shoulders, his face full of disgust.

When her roommate mysteriously came to her to go out for fun and claimed that there were three boys, she thought it was a sorority meeting and dressed up for an hour. After she came out, she found out that she was going to the sewer to explore the supernatural incident.

Especially one of them was breaking the chains on the fence door.

"It's not dirty, this sewer is an underground passage connecting Tanghe and Chengxi Reservoir. It does not connect to domestic sewage areas. You can see the water flow." The young man wearing glasses explained.

"The underground passage plays a role in balancing the water level. Wherever the water level is low, the water flows on the side with a high water level will pass."

This explanation is not a problem, but he guessed the girl's thoughts wrong.

"Is this the point?" Lin Yu stamped his feet angrily.

A soft voice behind him continued: "We want to explore... we don't have to enter here, right? Isn't it good to go to the newly opened haunted house? I heard that that is also scary."

"The wisdom of mortals." Chu Xi, a young man with glasses, raised his finger and pushed his glasses. "Those are all pretended by the staff, how can they scare people?"

A white arm embraced Lin Yu's neck intimately, and the girl with dark red short hair smiled and said, "He was right. The trick of the movie haunted house can no longer scare us. Apart from real ghosts, there is nothing to be afraid of."

Chu Xi did not have a clear understanding of himself and continued to explain: "And the sewer is the conscience of a city. Let's see if there is any problem with the heart of Pingling City?"

"I was speechless."

Crazy-

There was a sound of iron chains shaking, and Deng Yunfeng, who had dark red and rusty hands, spread his palms to the crowd.

"The door is open."

After saying hello, he squatted to the edge of the river and washed his hands.

The dark red rust dizzes like a ribbon in the river and drifts away.

After washing his hands, he raised his eyebrows at Chu Xi, turned on his phone and flashed his light to get into the sewer first.

Sun Yan held the reluctant Lin Yu, and He Yinyin followed behind him.

The noise above the river disappeared, and the sewer leading to the depths was only the sound of water flowing.

The underground passage is nearly three meters high, and the wet and uneven walls reflect the light of water. A slightly turbid water flows quietly in the river channel, while the wind opposite to the water flow blows from the depths ahead.

Unexpectedly empty and clean.

It is still some distance away from the flood season, and most of the underground passage will be flooded by then, and the water flow will not be as calm as it is now.

After walking along the underground passage for dozens of meters, they could no longer see the entrance behind them.

The sound of empty footsteps echoed, and a group of five people walked a hundred meters away and saw a door appear on the wall ahead.

"How come there is a door here?" Sun Yan was surprised.

"This is the workshop, and a lot of garbage will float in along the water. The staff will come in and clear it up every once in a while." Chu Xi replied.

Lin Yu suddenly asked: "Then the question is, why do we have to explore such a place?"

Deng Yunfeng smiled and his voice was a little low: "Several people were drowned a while ago in the west of Chengxi Reservoir, and two bodies have not been found yet. Do you think it is possible to follow..."

"Ah! You want to say that Yinyin and I are back!"

Lin Yu screamed, and the echo made his eardrums hurt.

"Okay, I'll shut up." Deng Yunfeng rubbed his ears with pain. It was clearly what you asked him to say...

...

The open fence door, rusty chains were thrown aside.

The noise of hustle and bustle drifted down from the pedestrian street above, and the sound of water flowing drifted past behind him. Lu Li squatted down and carefully observed the shoe prints near the fence gate.

The footprints are clear and messy, the shoe sizes range from 44 to 37, and the spacing is relatively short.

Lu Li raised his eyes and looked deep into the sewer. It seemed that he saw a group of young men and women talking to each other and entering the sewer.

What are they doing here?

Lu Li frowned slightly, unable to guess.

This place was not far from the time I met the water ghost that night. Lu Li, who was searching along the river, found strange things about the fence gate.

After thinking about it, Lu Li took out his cell phone and called Shen Qian.

beep--

"Hey, boss, I'm about to call you."

"Speak serious."

"Okay, I've arrived in Shaoyun Township. The family of the water ghost has also been found. The situation I found out was that the water ghost was not dead in Tanghe. He drowned in the west reservoir of Chengxi. I think he must have used some method to run from the reservoir to Tanghe!"

Lu Li raised his eyes and looked at the deep underground passage.
