Gan (gàn), traveling through time again!

Xia Ji opened his eyes and saw himself standing next to a big river. There were endless ships on the river, and wooden boats were moored along the river, and many sailors were lying on the boat to rest.

There are many steps under your feet, which lead to the waterside, and the wooden boats are loading up and down the steps.

Two piles of porters with naked upper bodies were fighting for customers, and the crowd watched several floors, and cheers came from time to time.

This is the south gate pier of Qingshuicheng.

Xia Ji sighed deeply, knowing that he could never go back. He went from a programmer in a game company to travel through the world of heaven after a heart attack.

"Green Head!"

Xia Ji recited silently and summoned his golden finger.

Golden Finger is a mobile game interface for detective puzzle solving, developed by Xia Ji himself, and it integrates with him after an accident.

Four icons are neatly arranged in the consciousness space.

They are soap clothes, leggings, iron rulers, and paper, which are commonly used props for detectives.

Xia Ji chose soap clothes.

Lines of handwriting appeared quickly on the right-most shaped paper.

"After initialization, the golden-level identity begins to be generated..."

At the same time, the soap dress was covered with a layer of light gold, which really blinded Xia Ji's dog eyes.

"Identity generation is completed, start loading..."

“Your personal information is as follows:”

"Name: Xia Ziyu. Occupation: Cast. Residence..."

Xia Ji checked the logs on the paper to learn about his new identity in this world.

The soap suit in the golden finger can provide Xia Ji with legal identity in the new world, and the identity levels are divided into public, gold, platinum, and diamonds.

Because the last task was not completed ideally and there was not enough experience to redeem high-level identity, Xia Ji could only start with a lower gold-level identity this time.

The paper-made paper records tasks and case information in the form of a log.

Xia Ji chose the paper again, with the task written on it at the top.

Mission: Qingshui City doubts

Sub-task 1: Investigate the water creature incident.

Requirements: Water Debris 0/1.

Description: It lies dormant near the dock, waiting for the moment when humans relax, sneak in quietly and launches a fatal blow...

Reward: Very little experience.

Experience is equivalent to the energy of the capture system.

Experience can be exchanged for higher-level identities, either improve skills, or retain items to the next world.

After completing his identity and mission, Xia Ji looked at the crowd gathering by the dock, and they were arguing fiercely.

"There is really a water creature, Chen Si was killed by the water creature!" a strong porter shouted. (The magic creature: a monster in mythology and legend. The magic creature was hurt by the magic creature - "Chu Ci·Big move")

"Wang Laosan, you will know how to talk nonsense with your bird beak. There is no such monster in the world!" a sailor smiled.

"Chen Si obviously died in the water. The county master issued a notice. Don't talk nonsense!" a middle-aged man with the appearance of a shopkeeper frowned.

"I'm not talking nonsense. I saw that water creature with my own eyes. It's as tall as an eight-year-old child, with green face and fangs..." Wang Laosan was still chattering.

"Wang Laosan has made up stories again. I have been on the boat for several years, but I have never seen a water creature. You can still run into the cart!" the sailor laughed.

"Look, what is this? These are the nails that the water flies on the shore. I secretly picked them up!" Wang Laosan blushed and took out a piece of green curly nails.

Everyone stretched their necks and looked at them. They had never seen such a strange nail. Maybe they were really a waste of water.

Xia Ji was delighted, and he could not have thought it was so easy.

The one in Wang Lao San’s hand must be fragments of water. As long as you take them over, you will complete the first task.

"Show me." Xia Ji walked towards the crowd.

Seeing Xia Ji wearing a soap suit approaching, Wang Laosan showed a look of fear.

"Wang Laosan, let you spread rumors, the yamen is here to catch you!" someone whispered.

Wang Laosan was so scared that he turned around and ran away, ran out of the crowd and into the streets.

Xia Ji was not familiar with the terrain and chased after him for a while.

"I just knew it wouldn't be so easy."

But when you come, you still have to work hard.

Xia Ji returned to the dock and found a small leader of the boat gang, and ordered him to find Wang Laosan.

Wang Laosan is a porter and wants to make a living at the dock, so he naturally has to listen to the words of the Boat Gang.

The little leader of the boat gang dared not offend the yamen master, so he hurriedly took a few of his men to find Wang Lao San.

Xia Ji thought, fortunately this time it started with a golden status, and the identity of a yamen constable was very convenient to handle the case.

If you have a mass-level identity and start with a civilian, it will be much more difficult.

It was not a short time to find Wang Laosan. Xia Ji entered the South City Gate and came to the North and South Street of Qingshui City.

The fragrance of the roadside vendor's schnitzel made Xia Ji a little greedy. He bought two skewers of fried golden and tender meat steaks and chewed them while walking.

Xia Ji followed the street to the county government office, which is where he went to work in a new identity.

I saw that the left and right walls of the county government said "What you eat, what you use, the people's fat and ointment" was written on each side, which reminded officials at all levels to treat the people well.

Xia Ji entered the archives room of the yamen's punishment room to check the case files.

"In the sixty-one year of the Great Week, twelve porters at Qingshuicheng South Pier died suddenly, and the cause of death was unknown."

"In the 73rd year of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Qingshui River surged, and seven sailors drowned on the river boat at the south pier at the city south pier, and the cause of death was unknown."

"In the 85th year of the Great Zhou Dynasty, babies cried out in the Qingshui River, and bamboo baskets floated on the river. Those who went to save the baby drowned."

...

All were headless unsolved cases, all of which appeared near the south dock of the city.

Xia Ji felt a little shocked when he saw it. It seemed that the world was not as simple as he imagined.

Why do they all appear at the pier? The pier is near the sea. Is it related to the sea?

Xia Ji looked at the case files carefully and found another rule. In the years when these unsolved cases occurred, there happened to be a tsunami. Could it be that the monsters in the sea flowed into the river along the sea and then attacked the people by the river?

Xia Ji has a preliminary understanding of the task of [Qingshuicheng Suspicion].

Xia Ji closed the case file and left the yamen.

Xia Ji came to the north of the city and stopped in front of a magnificent mansion.

There are two powerful stone lions on the left and right sides of the gate. There are four black characters "Talented Martial Arts Hall" on the plaque, with silver hooks and iron strokes, which are extremely strong.

According to the paper diary, Han Hu, the owner of the Taurus Martial Arts Hall, is also a famous figure in Qingshui City.

Han Hu once served in the border army. It is said that he was a powerful general who killed several people in the formation. After retirement, he opened a library to teach his disciples. The martial arts he taught were more powerful and practical than battlefield killing.

As long as you pay the tuition fee, everyone can go to Taurus Martial Arts School to learn kung fu.

Xia Ji's identity as "Xia Ziyu" also learned swordsmanship in the martial arts hall, but he only learned moves and did not learn internal skills.

Xia Ji came to the martial arts hall and wanted to learn some new skills, which would be considered a side-line free mission.

There is no one entering or leaving the gate of the martial arts hall, which looks a bit deserted.

Xia Ji entered the gate of the martial arts hall, passed the front porch, and came to the main venue, which was the place where apprentices practice martial arts.

Xia Ji was outside the door of the big court, listening to the silence inside, gently pushing open the door, looking inward, there was no one in the empty space.

Xia Ji was stunned.

This was really unexpected. According to the log information, the Taurus Martial Arts Hall is the most lively martial arts hall in the city, with hundreds of apprentices practicing in the field every day.

What happened? Why are there no one there?

Xia Ji walked through the porch behind the big venue and came to the garden.

There are several huge rocks in the middle of the garden, and a large locust tree next to the rockery is hung with a string of swings, swaying slightly, and a quiet scenery.

After passing the garden, it is the residence of the owner of Han Hu’s hall.

Xia Ji was about to walk through the garden when he suddenly felt something was wrong here.

As for what was wrong, Xia Ji couldn't say it for a while.

Xia Ji looked around the garden and finally found something unusual.

It's a swing!

The swing is swaying slightly.
