Seeing Ge Liaochan's helpless and serious face, Gu Zhisang raised his eyebrows slightly and said:
"Then let's go and take a look first. I came to Hunan Province for this matter anyway."
Ge Liaochan: "Okay."
After joining the Spirit Group and becoming its 'special instructor', Gu Zhisang gained the right to view some confidential documents.
By looking through the archive records of the spiritual group in the past and recent years, she discovered that the authorities had long been collecting and handling metaphysical and supernatural events from all over the country.
Most information and events that do not involve extremely private matters will be uploaded by the headquarters to the official mini-program developed specifically for the Ling Group.
Only those who have passed the spiritual group assessment and become formal members have the authority to enter this program.
You can view previously solved metaphysical events, communicate with other team members for help, or conduct metaphysical research and guidance...
In addition, the most important function of this mini program is "reward".
Generally speaking, when police stations receive reports of crimes that are extremely cruel in nature, where the suspect disappears out of thin air, or where there is a sense of weirdness, there will always be a member of the psychic team following the police team, who is responsible for observing whether there are any supernatural means involved in the case.
If there are some unsolved cases, the local spiritual group will upload them to the mini program to offer a "reward", and sincerely invite extraordinary people from all over the world to handle and solve them.
After completion, the master who accepts the "bounty" can receive a generous reward, as well as various magical instruments and talismans that are beneficial to his Taoism.
The reason why Gu Zhisang came to Hunan Province was because she saw a bounty with a rating of "dangerous" on the mini program.
She had just finished filming her role in "Legend of the Sea" at this time, and she and her agency "Cheng En Entertainment" had a falling out with each other. The other party secretly used some underhanded tricks to turn down all her invitations, which freed up a lot of time for her, and she was happy and relaxed.
Out of curiosity about the case, she took over the reward.
The case is called the "Shennv Lake Corpse Drowning Case."
Before Gu Zhisang, two former clients had accepted the commission for this case and went to Shennv Lake in Hunan Province to resolve the incident.
It's a pity that they all ended in failure.
After clicking on the case, Gu Zhisang looked at the general introduction.
Four days ago, a group of local children ignored the adults' advice and the warning signs on the shore and insisted on gathering on the weekend and went to a nearby large lake to swim.
The lake is named "Shennv Lake". It is the largest and most famous freshwater lake in the area. The lake is more than tens of meters deep. Local people nearby raise fish and catch shrimps in it.
The shallow water area near the shore is not deep, but because many people have had accidents in the lake, the local government and people are reluctant to let children come here to play in the water.
But on that day, something happened to one of the children who were playing in the water.
A boy was competing with his friends in diving when he fell under the water and never came out again.
The other children did not realize the seriousness of the situation at first. When they could no longer hold their breath and emerged from the water one after another, they were still laughing and shouting "Come on!"
Until the second to last boy finally couldn't hold his breath anymore and emerged from the water with a red face, the other children were all full of admiration for the last boy.
One of them shouted: "Okay, okay, we can't hold it in anymore, you come out too, we know you're awesome, we'll keep our word and recognize you as our big brother for a day!"
"I never thought you would become so good. Did you secretly practice holding your breath in a water tank at home?"
The friends shouted at the child several times, asking him to stop holding it in, but there was no response.
Only then did they gradually realize that something was wrong.
Someone panicked: "What's going on? Is he... in trouble?"
"Pfft, don't talk nonsense. We are in shallow water and the water is not even up to our chests. How could anything happen? Stop scaring us and get out of here!"
However, the children's calls have never been responded to.
They groped in the nearby water for several minutes, then dived underwater, forced themselves to open their eyes in the turbid water, and tried to see if there was anyone underwater.
But there was no trace of the boy.
More than ten minutes had passed since he went into the water and held his breath.
The remaining children were terrified and swam to the shore. They had a choice between running away secretly for fear of being punished and not telling the adults, or quickly calling the police to ask someone to rescue the people. These children chose the latter.
The local police station went out to fish for the fish that day but to no avail.
There were no floating corpses on the lake, and no human bodies could be fished out from under the water.
If all the children had not said with certainty that the boy really went into the water with them and disappeared out of thin air, the police would have suspected that they were joking.
The boy's family could not accept this fact and believed that other children had harmed their son, but the others were also innocent.
They all said that it was this drowned and missing companion who first suggested secretly running to the Goddess Lake to play in the water.
Things have reached this point and it is no longer something that can be solved by ordinary manpower.
So the local spiritual group launched a series of investigations, but to no avail.
This matter became a hot topic in the neighborhood.
Originally, the area where Shennv Lake is located was a relatively remote and backward city in Hunan Province, where legends such as "River God" and witchcraft were widely circulated.
Many people believe that there is a "river god" in Shennv Lake, and some even claim that they have seen a huge shadow under the lake when they were sailing out of the center of the lake.
At one time, some people said that the child was spotted by the "River God" and was captured to be a cleaning boy;
Some people also said that he was captured by a water ghost and used as a substitute, saying that his parents had offended someone outside and were poisoned by a "river toad poison", and their bodies were eaten by fish, shrimps and crabs in the lake...
The floating corpse was still not found on the second day, so the local spiritual team had no choice but to post a "reward" on the mini program, hoping that team members from other places would see it and come to help them solve the problem if they were capable.
On the same day, a Taoist priest from a neighboring city rushed over and performed a ritual to pray for the deceased's soul to be reborn by the river. Many onlookers were watching nearby.
He lit a dozen incense sticks half a person's height on the open space on the shore, and performed a ritual by ringing bells.
The sky over Shennv Lake was originally calm and the weather was clear, but soon it became cloudy, and a strong wind blew over the lake, causing waves.
Finally, to everyone's surprise, a huge wave came without warning and poured water all over the body and face of the master who was performing a ritual on the shore, soaking the incense stick he was holding up.
Having lost face, Master Xuan was very depressed and told the local spirit group that he did feel a very powerful force in the lake.
He guessed that the spiritual creature in the Goddess Lake had gone astray and turned into an evil creature. He said that he could not take care of the matter, so he picked up the magic weapon and left the place that day.
The second master who accepted the commission, like Gu Zhisang, came here specially from another province.
That person is quite famous in the spirit group. He is a sixth-level Xuan master, and his ability level is also top-notch.
After he arrived, he did not perform rituals immediately. Instead, he asked the local spiritual group for a small boat. He drifted to the center of the lake by himself and stopped right above it. He then wandered back and forth on the boat, performing rituals and chanting incantations.
Others on the shore saw ripples on the water near the boat under his feet, as if something was hovering under his boat.
Then he thrust his body forward, spit out a mouthful of blood, and fell straight off the boat into the center of the lake.
This scared everyone on the shore, and they immediately drove a speedboat to fish. After rescuing the man, they sent him to the local hospital. After examination, the doctor said that he had ruptured organs and internal damaged organs, and his life was in danger.
The second master is still lying in the hospital.
The notoriety of this case spread immediately, and it was classified as a "dangerous" level by the Spirit Team. The reward offered was multiplied several times, but no one dared to take it.
As soon as Gu Zhisang entered the mini program, he took over this task directly.
The spiritual team in Rongcheng arranged the fastest flight for her to fly to Xiang Province, and also asked Ge Liaochan to pick her up.
In the sports car, Ge Liaochan was steering the car at full speed while briefly telling Gu Zhisang about the latest developments in the "Shennv Lake Corpse Case".
Ge Liaochan said, "Originally, things shouldn't have been rushed, but something happened the night before yesterday. There was an old lady living alone in a county town near Shennv Lake. For some reason, she ran to the Shennv Lake alone at night... and then drowned."
"When people found her nearby, one of her shoes was floating on the lake. But they also didn't find the floating body. The body disappeared out of thin air."
Ge Liaochan smiled bitterly and continued, "Perhaps because the people sent by the authorities failed twice and didn't find any information, some residents...may not trust us. They didn't call the police, but invited a very spiritual local nun to take a look."
During the conversation, Gu Zhisang learned that the small town around Shennv Lake was known as the "sinking area" of Hunan Province.
Many people in the small town over there are the original inhabitants of the renovated Miao village. There are many ethnic minorities, and they still retain their past customs. They also tend to believe in the local legends handed down since ancient times.
There are also local witches and media who are good at metaphysics and have a high status in the local area.
Ge Liaochan said: "That goddess was really amazing. That night, she asked the nearby residents to go to the farm and buy fresh live sheep and chickens. She slaughtered them on the shore, wrapped the bodies of the livestock with leaves, tied them with ropes and stones, and dropped them into the Goddess Lake."
"I didn't expect that not long after the sacrifice was thrown in, the old lady's body actually floated out! A resident nearby who was filming recorded the entire process."
After the body was salvaged, the residents discovered that the old lady's swollen skin was an abnormal bluish purple color, and her face was a mixture of pain and a hideous smile, which was creepy to see.
The nun who performed the ritual said that it was the "River God" in Shennv Lake who was angry.
In recent years, the people living along the shore have become less and less devout in their worship of him and do not offer sacrifices before going out to fish in the lake, so the angry "river god" has brought disaster upon the surrounding residents.
The anger of the "River God" cannot be appeased by simply offering sacrifices of cattle and sheep. It is necessary to follow the ancient method of opening an altar and offer real sacrifices to the "River God".
Otherwise, no one will have a good life in the future.
Ge Liaochan and Gu Zhisang complained: "Decades ago, the locals had the custom of offering sacrifices to the 'River God' by filling the lake with living people. They thought that this would ensure good weather and a calm lake every year. In fact, this is all the dross culture passed down by the ancients. After the establishment of the Hunan Provincial Spirit Group, the entire province strictly prohibited the use of humans as sacrifices, and the punishment was very severe, which completely eliminated this dross of metaphysical learning and custom."
"The 'River Festival' that the Goddess is talking about now is exactly what she means! Once she sets a precedent and allows this dregs culture to be revived, other ignorant places and people will surely follow suit."
Gu Zhisang's brows were already furrowed when he heard this.
She asked, “So now?”
Ge Liaochan said: "Yesterday our people and the forensic doctor took the old lady's body away. We also did some ideological work for the people nearby, promising to investigate and autopsy first, and to solve the case as soon as possible. We also strictly prohibited them from holding the 'river sacrifice'. These people promised to do so verbally..."
Gu Zhisang understood what was said next without him having to explain.
Although the nearby residents promised the spirit group not to perform the "river sacrifice", they still pretended to obey and secretly carried out the ceremony without the knowledge of Ge Liaochan and others.
As a result, he was discovered by a team member who was waiting nearby, and he quickly informed Ge Liaochan.
The airport is some distance from the destination.
When Ge Liaochan ran to his destination, he could just see the edge of the lake and saw no less than hundreds of people gathered nearby.
The curls of white smoke continued to float upwards and finally dissipated on the surface of the lake.
She swung the car and parked it in an open space, then got out quickly. At this time, Gu Zhisang could already hear the noise and arguments on the shore.
Ge Liaochan shouted loudly: "What are you doing? I said yesterday that the 'River Festival' is not allowed. Are you going to rebel? Let them go!"
Several members of the spirit team who had also rushed over and tried to calm the emotional residents were now blocked by several strong men, and a pair of hostile eyes were staring at them.
Gu Zhisang asked in a low voice: "Have you called the police?"
Ge Liaochan said: "I just reported it. It will take at least ten minutes to get there at the fastest."
The reason why the other team members did not alert the police station when they arrived was that they did not expect these residents to directly disobey the law and simply ignore their dissuasion.
At this time, a middle-aged couple with red eyes and resentful expressions walked over from the crowd.
The man pointed at Ge Liaochan and said, "My son is dead. His body is still soaking in the water and cannot rest in peace. Why can't we offer sacrifices to the 'River God'?! The master has the ability to solve this problem, but you guys can only tell me to wait and wait!"
The woman also slapped her thighs and complained bitterly:
"My life is so miserable! My son was killed by someone for no apparent reason. Now even fishing him out and burying him is a crime? My poor son, why don't you just take your parents with you!"
The residents around also spoke up, with a tone of accusation:
"You are a young girl wearing the clothes of our village. How can you be so cruel?"
"Do you know what the river god is showing his power? If we don't quell the river god's anger, the people around us will suffer!"
"This is the business of the people living by our lake. You don't need to meddle in it!"
During the quarrel, seeing someone trying to take advantage of the situation and push Ge Liaochan to vent his anger, Gu Zhisang frowned, reached out and grabbed Ge Liaochan's arm and pulled it back, avoiding the other person's hand.
The man didn't stand firmly and fell due to inertia. His face and nose hit the huge rocks in the sand and he let out a scream.
"My, my nose!!"
Scarlet liquid oozed out from his hand that was covering his nose. Seeing the blood, the people around him were shocked and calmed down a little.
When they looked at the girl next to Miao Nu, who was shorter and slimmer, they were all stunned by her dark and cold eyes.
Gu Zhisang took out a few black and white chess pieces from his arms and threw them out.
The chess piece slammed into the sand with a dull thud, instantly creating several small pits in the mud.
The people around them all looked pale and couldn't help but take a step back.
With this kind of strength, if the chess piece hits them, it would probably at least cause some internal injuries if not a hole!
Seeing her walking towards the river, some residents still wanted to stop her, but when they stretched out their hands, they found that they could not touch the hem of the girl's clothes, and could only watch her pass through the crowd.
Gu Zhisang stood still on the river bank, staring at the old woman wearing a strange blue-purple robe and a string of silver bracelets and rings, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
The old woman had a skinny body and a hunched back. She held a whisk-like magical instrument in her hand. Behind her were two huge sunken wood boxes and several lit incense sticks.
From Gu Zhisang's perspective, he could see that each box was filled with freshly slaughtered poultry and livestock, including chickens, ducks, geese and dogs. The blood plasma dripping from the corpses had not yet dried, making the corpses on the top of the box look particularly horrible.
There were many small insects on the river bank, and they were all attracted by the sweet smell of fresh blood and flew over the box.
On top of a large number of poultry carcasses, there was a cow and a sheep.
The two large animals were still alive, with their four hooves tightly tied with hemp ropes, preventing them from struggling and escaping.
They were obviously frightened by the tragic deaths of the other creatures beneath them. They opened their eyes wide in fear and kept mooing and bleating at the top of their lungs, making the box shake slightly. Feces that were caused by incontinence caused by fear kept coming out of their anus.
The old woman raised her cloudy eyes and looked at Gu Zhisang, and said in a hoarse voice: "Little girl, please don't disturb the auspicious time of sacrifice, otherwise the 'River God' will be angry and bring wrath upon us."
Gu Zhisang looked at her steadily, and after a while he said, "There is no need to continue this sacrifice. Since ancient times, anything that needs a living sacrifice to be satisfied, and that would cause trouble in the river, cannot be a god. At most, it is an unknown evil spirit."
The old woman's face turned stern. "What a foolish girl! How dare you be so disrespectful to the Lord River God? You don't want to die yourself, but you want to drag everyone on the lakeshore to be buried with you?"
After she finished speaking, shouts came one after another behind Gu Zhisang.
Gu Zhisang acted as if he knew nothing about this.
She said calmly, "You don't know the reason why the body sank, nor do you know what is in the river, yet you call yourself a fortune teller and say you can solve this matter. Aren't you ashamed?"
The old woman paused, a hint of disapproval in her eyes.
She really didn't know what was under the lake, but she had heard from her elders and fellow disciples since she was a child that there was something under the Goddess Lake.
Since you have something, just offer it as a sacrifice.
Facts proved that her guess was correct. Just yesterday, when some cattle and sheep were thrown into the lake, the body of the woman who disappeared in the lake floated up.
After Gu Zhisang was sure that the old woman really didn't think she was wrong and firmly believed that her guess was correct, he felt both amused and confused.
She said in a cold voice: "I don't care how you believe there is a god in the lake and that you can calm everything down with sacrifices. But if you want to offer sacrifices, just get out of here instead of using innocent lives to pay for your ignorance."
These words were incoherent, but they made the fortune-teller's face change drastically.
"W-What do you want to do?!"
Gu Zhisang walked up to the two large boxes. As soon as she got close, a strong smell of blood rushed into her nostrils. The smell made her feel nauseous.
She raised her foot and kicked the side of the wooden box.
There was a dull sound on the contact surface, and then the box, which was more than one meter high, suddenly overturned and hit the ground hard.
The cattle and sheep above fell to the ground, screaming in fear, and the pieces of meat and livestock carcasses in the boxes spilled out.
After Gu Zhisang kicked over two boxes one after another, Ge Liaochan in the crowd suddenly widened his eyes and looked at the things exposed at the bottom of the boxes, "What, what is that?!"
After the contents of the upper layer of one of the boxes were spilled out, a person tied up at the bottom was revealed.
It was a child who was about five or six years old, with his hands and legs curled up, his mouth sealed with tape, his face and body covered in blood and animal hair. He struggled very little with his eyes closed, and the sounds he made were extremely weak.
Gu Zhisang carried her out, tore off the tape on her mouth and wiped the smelly blood plasma off her mouth. Only then could he barely see that this was a little girl with short hair and her hair stuck together.
And at the bottom of the other box, there was also a child.
His body fell limply on the corpse of the livestock, his eyes closed and he lay motionless.
After Gu Zhisang carried him out, he found that the boy was in critical condition.
The two children were pressed heavily in the box for a long time. The air around them became thinner and thinner, and only traces of oxygen could pass through the gaps and be inhaled into their noses.
Coupled with the cries of the live cattle and sheep on the box, the slightest movement of them in the box was drowned out.
I'm afraid if it had been a little later, they would have suffocated to death from lack of oxygen even without the witch throwing them into the Goddess Lake.
Gu Zhisang did not touch him casually. With a cold expression, he turned around and asked, "Is there a doctor?"
Ever since the two children came out from under the box, many residents who were clamoring to watch the show were frightened and the scene became silent.
They really didn't know that there were two dolls among these sacrifices!
The witch said that the sacrifice would require sinking the box, so wouldn't the two children in the box be drowned? !
A woman whispered, "I studied medical care before and passed the certification exam."
"You come." When Gu Zhisang stood up, the front of his clothes and his hands were stained red with the blood of the animals. "Achan, call an ambulance."
Ge Liaochan had an angry look on his face. He glared at the people around him and then nodded and agreed.
Smelling the smell on his body, Gu Zhisang was not in a good mood. He looked around with a cold and pale face and forced a smile:
"If these two children died, everyone present played a role."
"What are you talking about, girl? We didn't know... there were two living people under the box, and we always thought it was just livestock!"
"Madame Shen, what are you doing? This is illegal! It's so scary. Where did you get these two dolls?"
“…”
Hearing Gu Zhisang say that they were all accomplices, many of the spectators became unhappy and said that they were innocent and began to denounce the witch.
Some people also looked evasive and guilty, obviously knowing something.
Only the middle-aged parents whose child had died were the most emotional. They looked at Gu Zhisang with hatred in their eyes, as if they were looking at the enemy who killed their son.
"Why did you ruin our plan? Don't you have any relatives or parents? Won't you have children in the future? If you die and don't collect his body..."
Gu Zhisang interrupted these seemingly reasonable accusations with a cold voice: "What about these two children who were used as sacrifices? Do they deserve to die?"
The middle-aged couple who were questioned became less confident.
The man gritted his teeth and said, "It was their parents who sold them out. The two families were willing! How dare you, a jerk from nowhere, meddle in my family's affairs? You know what my family background is in Hunan Province..."
Before he could finish his words, he staggered as if he was slapped by an invisible slap, and sat down on the ground with a plop, his cheeks quickly becoming red and swollen;
Before he could finish his words, he opened his mouth and spat out several broken teeth.
Just then, a whistle finally sounded in the distance.
As soon as the police officers got out of the car when they arrived at the destination, they saw blood plasma, animal carcasses, and two red, unconscious children lying on the ground.
Their expressions changed: "What are you doing?! What's going on here?"
——
After the local police arrived and detained the parents of the dead boy, the fortune teller, and some people involved in the incident, the two children were also sent to the hospital.
Gu Zhisang did not go to the police station immediately, but followed Ge Liaochan to find a nearby homestay to wash the blood off his body.
While she was drying her long hair in her nightgown, there was a knock on the door.
After opening the door, Ge Liaochan held up a set of clean ethnic minority clothing and said, "Sangsang, wear this first."
"good."
When Gu Zhisang changed his clothes and prepared to go to the local police station again, Ge Liaochan was amazed when he saw her coming out of the room and exclaimed:
"Sangsang, your skin is so white and delicate. If you were in the Miao village, you would definitely be the most admired girl by the boys."
Gu Zhisang smiled lightly and said, "Let's go."
When they arrived at the police station again, they could see through the glass that police officers were giving ideological education to the middle-aged couple in the detention room.
"Your thoughts and actions are extremely dangerous! This is a crime and murder. You will definitely be sentenced after this incident!"
The couple still argued stubbornly: "We did spend money, and it was the two families who agreed to sell the child!"
"This is human trafficking. You don't need to quibble. Moreover, you gathered by the lake to spread feudal dregs and repeatedly obstructed the police from doing their job. These are all very serious behaviors. We understand your feelings, but this is not an excuse for your illegal crimes..."
After taking a few glances, Gu Zhisang looked away and said, "Those two children were bought as 'sacrifices'."
The police officer behind him nodded and said, "Yes, the couple spent more than 200,000 yuan in total. What's strange is that not only the two of them were involved in this matter, but also four other people whose families had no accidents and no one drowned in the lake."
The police officer named four people and said, "After investigation, two of them are not even from this city. They are registered in two neighboring cities. Although the other two are from this city, they should have no connection with each other."
"But the four of them each contributed 50,000 yuan as a fund to buy two children. We just interrogated them for a long time, and they only said that they supported the sacrificial activities and had no other intentions. Some even said that they had no idea that the witch and others were raising funds for the purpose of buying and selling children."
Gu Zhisang nodded and said, "Can I meet them?"
"Sure." The police officer nodded, "But their motives are unclear. We suspect there may be something else behind it. In order to prevent them from colluding with each other, we have detained these four people separately."
Gu Zhisang: "It's okay, I just need to look at their faces, no need to communicate with them."
"Okay, then Miss Gu, follow me."
Following the police officer's footsteps, Gu Zhisang came to the door where the four people were imprisoned and silently looked at the people inside.
The officers behind her were surprised to find that none of the four people in the room noticed that she was peeping.
You have to know that the windows of the room are transparent. If someone looks inside through the window, the people inside should be able to see and discover it.
After looking at the first three people, Gu Zhisang seemed to be thinking about something. He discussed with the police officer behind him, stopped at the door of the fourth person who participated in buying children as "sacrifices", and pushed the door open and entered.
Sitting in the room was the only woman among the four participants.
She was originally in a trance in the room, not knowing what she was thinking about and looking a little nervous. When she heard the movement at the door, she looked up, and her body froze when she saw Gu Zhisang.
The woman had not forgotten what had happened by the lake.
This pretty-looking girl can easily kick over a big wooden box and even hit someone in the mouth from a distance!
She was secretly alert and a little nervous, but when she met Gu Zhisang's eyes, her breathing became rapid and she felt a sense of panic as if she was being seen through.
The woman spoke quickly: "I said I didn't know they were the ones who bought the child. I just didn't want the people in my city to be punished by the river god! My father is a fisherman and a breeder. I did this for my family..."
She talked on and on, but found that Gu Zhisang's expression remained unchanged.
After a long while, Gu Zhisang finally said the first words after entering the room under her nervous gaze: "I believe what you said. Judging from your face, there is a missing link in your parents' palace, which means that your mother died when you were very young, and you were raised by your father. You are a local, and your family should have run a small business. After the business was not good in the past few years, your father contracted fish and crab seedlings with others and started aquaculture..."
"So you are such a filial and kind person who cares about the people in your city. Why did you run away at that time?"
When Gu Zhisang told her family information bit by bit, the woman began to look panicked.
She kept comforting herself in her heart that she was a local and it would be very easy for the police to investigate her identity information!
I must not lose my composure because of these words!
But when she heard Gu Zhisang's last words, her forced expression completely broke.
The woman stammered and shook her head. “I, I don’t know what you are talking about. Don’t think you can talk nonsense just because you are a police officer. I…I said I know nothing. I need a lawyer!”
Gu Zhisang supported his cheek with his slender white fingertips, with an indifferent expression.
Her long black hair fell behind her shoulders and she wore a Miao ethnic group's navy blue robe with a front opening. Her skin looked even more dazzlingly white against the silver pattern and blue fabric. When she looked at others with a cold face, people could not help but feel guilty.
"Yeah."
She continued in a calm tone, "You were born in this city, you are thirty-five years old this year, and you were born in the midsummer of 1987. Because of your birth date and the influence of your parents, your five elements are not affected too much by the terrain. You have gold and fire in your fate but lack water. It stands to reason that you should pay a little more attention when naming, and make up for it from the fortune of your surname, but your parents don't believe in these things, and they named you themselves.
Coincidentally, they also named you Wang Huo Gang Qiang. "
"However, if a fire is too strong, it will break easily. If it is not extinguished, disasters will naturally occur. When you were eleven years old, the only disaster in your life related to water occurred."
Gu Zhisang paused for a moment, and a smile appeared on his slightly raised face: "But you are lucky to have survived. You met a noble person who saved you."
A scream suddenly erupted from the woman's throat. She held her ears and shook her head, obviously not wanting to hear these words.
How could that be?
How could this be known?!
That was something she never wanted to think about in her life, and she still regretted and resented what she had done.
But it wasn't that she wanted to escape, Gu Zhisang would stop talking:
"It's strange that although you survived the flood that year, this incident has become an indelible shadow in your heart. Since then, you have become even more afraid of water. When you learned that your father wanted to contract fish fry as a farmer, you were hysterically opposed to this matter.
What are you afraid of? What is in the Shennv Lake?
"What's even stranger is that I don't seem to see any trace of the person who saved you from disaster in your life trajectory. Her existence disappeared out of thin air.
I can't think of any other explanation than that she's dead."
The police officers outside the house could hear screams from inside, full of resistance and fear.
They looked at each other and thought, would Gu Zhisang use any inappropriate means on that person in there? !
The police officer hesitated whether to stop the meeting and called Gu Zhisang out of the house. Ge Liaochan, with his arms folded, shook his head gently and said:
"Don't worry. Sangsang doesn't need to resort to torture or other such inferior means to obtain any information she wants."
The skeptical police officer walked to the window and looked inside. As expected, he saw the two women in the room sitting on either side of the table, with a long distance between them.
But for some reason, the female suspect kept holding her head and shaking her head, and she was very agitated.
Gu Zhisang watched silently, and could only hear the woman mumbling in a crying tone:
"It's not like that... I didn't mean to do that, I didn't mean to do that..."
She narrowed her eyes slightly and said firmly, "So the place where you encountered a water disaster and nearly drowned was at Shennv Lake. It's just that you were saved by someone at that time, and she lost her life to save you, what a pity..."
"You have not made the truth of this matter known to the public."
Gu Zhisang leaned forward slightly, his tone cold, "You knew what happened in Shennv Lake from the beginning to the end, and you also knew that they bought and sold children as sacrifices."
"Is the one you want to worship, the one you feel panic and guilt about, really the 'River God'?"
