After taking the medicine, Chen Le felt much better.

But what really made him feel uncomfortable was that he didn't know where to find someone.

He needs more information to clarify his ideas.

But, there are no clues anymore.

Of course, Chen Le didn't believe in ghosts and gods, and he felt that as long as there were any strange powers and chaos, 99% of them were caused by someone.

The remaining one percent is natural phenomena, such as the blue ghost fire in the cemetery, which is actually phosphorus fire.

He wanted to know all the information about the disappearance of those people before.

Then, Lin Yuqiong took him to find someone.

The two came to the village riverside.

At this time, a large-scale construction is underway here.

A "birdman" dressed up without a human, no ghost, wearing simple clothes and a few feathers on his head was dancing a strange dance on the stage here.

Then a few people knelt in a row in the audience to pray intently.

Of course, there are also some sacrificial supplies on the stage, some fruits and fruits, some fruits, barbecue, and a delicious roasted suckling pig with red.

Chen Le found that it was difficult for the people here to eat by themselves, so he was not stingy with praying for the gods.

All delicious food and drinks are put up.

This blessing ceremony takes three days, and then, on the third day, the sacrifice will be human.

That is, Lin Yuqiong...

Lin Yuqiong took Chen Le to find the son of village chief Ding Weitian, Ding Li.

This is a tall and strong man with a angular face, with a bit of heroic spirit. Perhaps because of his frequent work, his skin was slightly dark, and he was a very healthy wheat color.

He was commanding order on the spot at this time.

Village chiefs in villages like this are actually hereditary systems. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be the next village chief.

"Brother Ding."

Ding Li smiled at Lin Yuqiong, revealing a sunny and honest smile, "Yuqiong, why are you here?"

"Brother Ding, can you help me?"

"Of course, you said."

Lin Yuqiong introduced Chen Le, "This is my friend. He wants to check out the case file of the disappearance of the villagers. Is it OK?"

"this……"

Ding Li was immediately embarrassed, "Those things are secrets in the village and cannot be shown casually."

"Brother Ding, please help me. He said she is very powerful and may help us get Manzhen back."

"this……"

As soon as he heard that Chen Le could find Xie Manzhen, Ding Li looked at Chen Le carefully, but... he didn't see anything amazing about him at all.

Lin Yuqiong folded his hands together and begged, "Please, Brother Ding, you want to find Manzhen too."

These words made Ding Li's eyes dim and he said sadly, "Yes, Manzhen has been missing for more than ten days and can't be found everywhere. I don't know how she is."

"Okay, you guys wait, I have to take care of the master first."

The master Ding Li said was the one who was wearing strange clothes and dancing strange ghost dances in front of him.

While the other party was having a rest, Ding Li quickly went over and asked, "Master, how are you doing? Can you contact the God of Shanghe?"

Then the master said with awesome look, "Well, the River God is still very dissatisfied with your offerings, otherwise he would not have expressed any signs at all."

"This, these are the best tributes in our village. I... I'll talk to my dad again. The banquet is ready. You have some rest."

"Well, prepare a cool place for me..."

After taking care of the great master, Ding Li took the two of them to a room next door.

Chen Le asked casually, "That master is the one who presided over the ceremony three days later?"

Ding Li showed a bitter smile, "This is the Master of God that everyone finally invited. It is said that they can talk to the River God. Then, everyone will have delicious food and drinks, and they will cost 10,000 yuan a day, and it is not enough to lose 1 cent."

Chen Le could feel that Ding Li's words also showed some dissatisfaction.

After all, the village is already poor and has to spend such a large amount of money to support this great god.

But it won't work if you don't.

If the River God matter is not solved, no one in the village will feel at ease.

Ding Li said, handing a file to Chen Le, "This is the record of the missing persons that have been found in the village."

"Thanks."

Chen Le immediately took the file and started reading it.

While speaking, someone came over and shouted, "Brother Ding, Master is angry again."

"Yes, I'll go there right away."

Ding Li had no choice but to surrender to the two of them, and quickly went to appease the master. Before leaving, he did not forget to explain, "Please find Manzhen" and then left quickly.

Chen Le casually asked while looking at the file, "You guys are with this brother Ding..."

Lin Yuqiong explained, "Brother Ding is a very good person. When he was a child, he often took us to play. Moreover, everyone said that girls are useless to study, and everyone else told us not to study. Only Brother Ding will support us. He himself graduated from college."

"In the past, I would ask Brother Ding for any questions I didn't know about. He had good academic performance and almost went abroad to study."

"He still graduated from college?"

Chen Le didn't think that those who graduated from college would invite a great god to dance the god dance.

"I remember it seemed that the village chief asked him to inherit the village. He was not allowed to go abroad, so he took his wife back to the village. However, his wife seemed to be not very adapted to the climate in the village and died of illness a year ago."

"Brother Ding didn't marry again. Although there are many matchmakers who say they are kinship, because Brother Ding is strong and smart, he still graduated from college. Of course, there are many people who say they are kinship, but Brother Ding didn't agree. He should have the best relationship with me and Manzhen."

Chen Le nodded, "You can see it."

The other person is handsome, burly, polite, rich and powerful. This is a typical official, a second generation, and it is of course popular.

"There is also a document that should not be shown to people casually, but I promised to show it to you. The relationship is really good."

If you have connections, you will be able to do things easily.

"The earliest one was...seven months ago, I found that people were missing during the Chinese New Year."

"Then, five months ago, someone disappeared, and four months ago, someone saw the water ghost arresting people with his own eyes. Then, mummies were found more than ten days later, and three months ago, someone disappeared, and then two months, one month, and until ten days ago..."

Chen Le carefully studied everyone's name, age, occupation, time and place of disappearance.

Try to find some rules.

He even took a pen, knelt directly on the ground, and started drawing on a piece of white paper.

Lin Yuqiong was curious about what he was drawing. After looking closely, he realized, "This is the map of our village? Have you remembered all of our village?"

"Um."

After all, Chen Le has been in the village for so long, but it has not been in vain.

All the street directions have gathered in his mind.

Now it is drawn, it looks like a map printed in a real scene.

Then, he marked the location of each person instructed by Lin Yuqiong one by one on the map.

Among the missing people, there are both men and women, as well as children, but most of them are young people around 20 to 30. Even if their positions are connected into lines, they are distributed in all corners of the village, east, west, south, north and north.

I can't see anything regular.

Only one thing caught Chen Le's attention.

A villager once found a mummy in the northeast direction of the village, near the mountain. He looked old and like a mummy. In fact, he had only been missing for more than ten days, and it was impossible for a normal person to dry out so quickly.

Then, there were villagers who once saw a water ghost dragging a strong man into the water at the river northwest of the village.

These geographical locations are very erratic.

All kinds of things happened around the village, and it felt like they were happening deliberately around the entire village.

It seemed like there was an invisible curse surrounding this remote little village.

Lin Yuqiong explained, "The entire mountain where the mummy was found was searched, and the nearby where the dragged were also searched, but nothing was found."

Chen Le held his chin with one hand and nodded thoughtfully, "That's right, it's impossible to wait until I do it..."

It was not until a long time later that Chen Le raised his gaze and looked at Lin Yuqiong and said, "Do you know who the night patrolman who saw the person being dragged away in the first night patrolman? I have a very important question to ask him."

"I know."

Lin Yuqiong quickly took Chen Le to find the night patrolman who saw the person dragging him away.

Chen Le asked a few questions a little.
