Chapter 243 Nerves
"Director Yan."
"Xiangnan, why are you here?"
He looked at Xiangnan with some surprise.
It's really surprising that he can come here.
"I was afraid you were thirsty here, so I came to bring you some water."
He smiled and picked up the teapot in his hand.
After confirming that he was genuinely laughing, Yan Kuan took the teapot and couldn't help but whisper, "Have you changed your personality?"
"What are you talking about? I'm just here to give you water because I'm kind and worried you're thirsty. Don't make me sound mean and unkind."
Joking with Yan Kuan, he glanced at Gu Yu and said, "Mr. Gu has been getting along really well with Miss Feng and the others recently. It seems like they've become good friends."
There was something behind his words, and Gu Yu was no fool, so he could hear it.
He was just mocking himself.
They mocked him for being stripped naked by Chen Xiaodao and his friends in the hot pot restaurant, and ridiculed him for not feeling ashamed and still sticking around with them.
Pretending not to understand, Gu Yu spoke softly, "Thanks to the care of these three, I can live so well."
It wasn't as awkward as I'd imagined, nor did I actually answer his question.
The words that Gu Yu said actually made him feel unsure of the power of the words.
After pondering the meaning of his words, Xiangnan finally understood.
Although Gu Yu looks weak on the surface, he is not a pushover at heart and cannot be easily bullied.
Nodding in interest, he placed one hand on his waist and pointed to the archives room with his free hand: "Can I go in and see what you're doing?"
Yan Kuan didn't think so much and thought that the two of them were just chatting.
When Xiangnan asked if he could go in, he happily said, "No problem."
Gu Yu pulled the yellow cloth upwards, without saying anything more, and walked into the door before the two of them.
Hearing the noise, Feng Zhibai looked up and saw that it was Xiangnan, then lowered his head and continued to browse his phone.
Lao Mi Tou and Chen Xiaodao were flipping through the documents on the left and right.
Looking at the birth dates written on the information, he calculated the whereabouts of these missing people.
"Water conquers fire, so fire is extinguished. Three drops of water represent a river, southwest. He sank to the bottom of the river. This person is no longer alive. His body is in the southwest. Three drops of water represent a river, so he is in the southwest river."
Lao Mi put down his hand and reluctantly put the information aside.
The person is gone when he is still young.
"To the southwest, the body was upside down. It was carried headfirst into the river."
Chen Xiaodao closed the information in front of him, his face grim. "This person is no longer alive. The body is in the river to the southwest. He wasn't murdered, he fell into the river by accident."
"There is too much wood and fire, but too little metal and water. He loves swimming, but he drowned."
"Water is strong and fire is weak. Strong water overcomes fire. This is probably because he went out on a rainy day and never came back."
The two of them came one after another, talking in detail, even explaining clearly how the person died.
Yan Kuan and Gu Yu helped organize the information they threw over and recorded what they said on the information. The more they wrote, the darker their faces became.
On the one hand, I was surprised by what the two said, and on the other hand, I felt that among this pile of information, not a single person had any hope of survival.
They all died from anything with water.
Even if it is not in the river, it is in any place with water or rainy weather.
Feng Zhibai put down his phone, looked at the spread-out information, and said calmly: "Now the locations of these missing persons and their bodies all point to the same direction."
"southwest!"
Several people looked at each other and said at the same time.
Only Xiangnan looked serious, as if he was thinking about something.
"That's right. The direction the bodies were pointing to was all southwest. And all the tributaries of the small rivers in the southwest eventually converge into the same river, the Qinghai River."
Feng Zhibai frowned as he pointed his fingers up and down at the information spread out in front of him.
"There might be a huge sea of corpses at the bottom of the Qinghai River! And the number of corpses is constantly increasing!"
Looking at the mountain of information, several people could already imagine the scene of corpses strewn all over the bottom of the Qinghai River!
Extremely terrifying!
"This is too much! Who is it? Why does it require so many people to offer sacrifices to the river?"
Chen Xiaodao was so angry that he pounded the table and his face turned ashen.
Lao Mi held his forehead against his chest and didn't want to speak.
He wished he hadn't come tonight!
He saw all kinds of death that he had never seen in his life in just one night!
Yan Kuan felt a chill in his heart when he saw this.
For so many years, the police station's missing persons cases have remained unsolved.
The files are always buried in the pond.
Countless times, he had hoped that those people might have just lost their memories or gone to other places, but he never imagined that these people had left the world forever, and in such an unknown way!
"We are too incompetent."
Looking at the pile of information, Yan Kuan felt really uncomfortable.
Xiangnan sat far away from them and never integrated into the group from beginning to end.
Seeing them counting with their fingers and talking about the Qinghai River in a big way, I could only sneer.
"There are no ghosts in this world. It's already 2023. It's better not to bring those old feudal ideas to the stage. It's quite embarrassing."
The originally tense atmosphere suddenly changed after Xiangnan said this.
"What do you mean? Are you saying we're lying?"
Chen Xiaodao spoke in an unhappy tone.
Xiangnan's smile deepened: "I didn't say you were cheating, I just said you were colluding to deceive people."
"you!"
"southward!"
Yan Kuan felt embarrassed to look at Feng Zhibai and the others, and pulled back the corner of Xiangnan's clothes.
Xiangnan picked it up with both hands, placed his hands on his sides, palms facing outwards, and said in a light tone: "OK." He stood up while supporting himself on the table: "I promised Director Yan that I would not conflict with you. You guys continue, I'm leaving first."
After saying that, he moved the stool behind him and walked out.
Chen Xiaodao wanted to argue with him, but Lao Mitou stood up and stopped him in time.
"Xiaodao, forget it. Don't bother with him. He doesn't even know what we do! Why are you so angry with him?"
"Yes, Mr. Chen, don't bother with Captain Xiang."
Gu Yu stood in front of the door, afraid that Chen Xiaodao would run out and fight with him.
Yan Kuan has a headache.
Xiangnan is a person who refuses to tolerate anything!
After saying so much and doing so much, he still didn't believe that Chen Xiaodao and the others could really catch ghosts!
"You guys take a look at the information first, I'll go talk to him."
"Forget it, Director Yan! He's already like this. No matter how much you talk to him, he'll still be like this. Forget it."
Old Mitou grabbed Yan Kuan again.
Captain Xiang finally understood this and realized that he could no longer be close to him.
Leaving Old Mitou aside, Chen Xiaodao sat down with a slump, feeling extremely dissatisfied. "He always picks on us! We haven't offended him in any way! Every time he talks to us, he's like he's taken some medicine. What a psycho!"
"Xiaodao, can you please be quiet? Director Yan is still here."
