Because the matter involved Jingyesi's intelligence, according to regulations, Zhao Zhen was originally going to move closer to Zhang San to talk, but in order to show his sincerity to his partners, Zhang San simply waved his hand at Zhao Zhen.

"Sir, something happened!"

…

Taiping County, Fushou Bridge.

As one of the links between the east and west urban areas of Taiping County, and with the added bonus of Nuanxiang Pavilion's special location, since Tengyun Bridge was closed, the construction of the neighborhood here has been driven by the Fushou Bridge.

Even though the ghost plague these days has caused panic among the people, it still can't stop the hunger of foodies.

However, this time, before all the snack stalls could get into full swing, a floating corpse in the canal directly ruined people’s appetite.

"Aren't there only floating corpses on the Tengyun Bridge? Why are there also floating corpses on the Fushou Bridge now?"

"Who knows? The recent situation is really hard to understand. You know, the water ghosts this time are so fierce that even the corpse retriever Lao Liao got caught."

"Vicious? No matter how vicious you are, can you be more vicious than that gentleman? Longdu was pinned to the ground and beaten by you. If you ask me, these damn water ghosts are just ungrateful."

…

Because this trip was in plain clothes and the number of people they brought with them was very limited, the scene at this time was obviously more noisy than the previous response at Tengyun Bridge.

Zhao Zhen squeezed through the dense crowd and followed Zhang San for such a long time. Knowing the other party's case-handling habits, he did not wait for the other party to ask, but directly read out the information summarized from the people around him.

“The floating corpse appeared for less than a quarter of an hour, and I only ran out to check the situation when I saw a crowd gathering downstairs.

The deceased in the center of the canal is unknown. The deceased on the east bank is named Liao Zhong, 54 years old. He is engaged in the corpse recovery business and is an excellent swimmer. Half of the floating corpses in the canal were recovered by him.

Although his job is somewhat sinister, he is a very kind person and has a very good reputation among the neighbors. People usually call him Lao Liao..."

Regardless of whether Zhang San listened or not, Zhao Zhen's words poured out like fried beans.

He first looked at Zhang San standing on the bridge railing, and then at Zhao Zhen who was oblivious to the people around him. Just when Wu Tianzhen couldn't help but want to interrupt such a strange scene, Zhang San, who was still looking at the canal, suddenly spoke.

"What does that person do?"

"Retrieving corpses... He is just a rat doing black market business, a person who is not worthy of being on the stage. Why are you asking him about it, sir?"

After following for so long, Zhao Zhen was finally able to keep up with Zhang San's speed in changing topics.

"Black market?"

Seemingly not satisfied with the answer, Zhang San muttered for a moment and then asked again.

"What's the cause of this incident?"

"It seems that the young master of the Wu family, Wu Yan, passed the imperial examination, and the Wu family hosted a celebration in Nuanxiang Pavilion. In order to liven up the atmosphere, the mouse named Li Xiang came to find the girl playing the zither..."

"That makes sense..."

Facing the future Jinshan, Wu Tianzhen, who originally could not get a word in, hurriedly responded, as if afraid that Zhang San would cause more trouble.

"It's reasonable, sir. Don't think too much about it. Let's deal with the case quickly and have a good chat after that."

Looking at Wu Tianzhen, who was full of money, Zhang San couldn't help but flash a hint of evil interest in his eyes. As a future partner, how could he be so impatient? If he didn't take the opportunity to teach him a lesson, wouldn't it be a waste of such a good opportunity? After winking at Zhao Zhen, indicating that he should cooperate well, Zhang San spoke.

"Indeed, it's a pity that such a beautiful woman died at such a young age, ah~"

[Wu Tianzhen: A stunning beauty? If you talk about this, then I won’t be sleepy anymore.]

On the one hand, it was due to business, and on the other hand, it was out of pity for the fallen woman, Wu Tianzhen asked with a look of regret.

"A gorgeous lady? What do you mean?"

If Zhao Zhen still couldn't react at this time, he would really be ashamed of Zhang San's cultivation of him.

"Old Wu, you don't know. It's quite evil. You said drowning is drowning, but you can't just pick on beautiful women, right? I think this time it's probably the same. Sometimes I even wonder if there is a river god in this place."

As the saying goes, the speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Wu Tianzhen, who originally only felt regret about the drowning case, was suddenly filled with a chivalrous sentiment of sympathy for women after hearing Zhao Zhen's explanation.

Regardless of whether the news was true or false, Wu Tianzhen pulled off his belt, threw his robe to Zhao Zhen, and then turned into a stream of light and dived into the water.

As for the safety, you can see that he can come and go freely even in the resentful Tengyun Bridge. How can a small water ghost keep him who is proficient in Dunjia? Looking at the other party's figure going away, Zhao Zhen couldn't help but ask.

"Sir, is that really a female corpse?"

"Unfortunately, it was a male corpse."

Zhao Zhen: "??? I saw the person lying naked in the water. There was no clothing to identify her, and no facial features. How did you confirm that she was a female corpse?"

In this era when data summaries are very limited, people who have not systematically studied criminal investigation or forensic medicine may not really know the twists and turns involved.

But for Zhang San, who once lived in the era of technological explosion, with the support of professional knowledge, he has innate advantages far beyond his peers.

"It's actually very simple to tell the truth. Because of the different centers of gravity of men and women, it's very easy to identify the gender of the bodies on the water. In short, it can be summed up in four words: 'Men lie prone, women lie on their backs.'"

"In other words, the one lying on the surface of the water is a male corpse, and the one lying on its back is a female corpse. Is it that simple?"

"Indeed, it's that simple."

[Strange, this didn’t happen before…]

While answering Zhao Zhen's doubts, Zhang San turned his gaze back to the canal. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but ever since he stepped onto the Fushou Bridge, Zhang San always had the urge to jump off.

It was as if something from below was calling to him, without any specific syllables, but it was indeed an extremely real and wonderful event.

In fact, it was not just him. Unknowingly, both Zhao Zhen and Wu Tianzhen, as time went by, their bodies were getting closer and closer to the bridge railing.

Perhaps the gap is very subtle, but because of the warning from heaven, Zhang San is able to grasp it.

The stronger one's will is, the less influence one will be affected by. Apart from the so-called sympathy for women, perhaps this is the reason why Wu Tianzhen jumped down.

As Wu Tianzhen jumped into the river, Zhang San couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he saw the evil spirit boiling up again in the canal.

Thanks to the help of the memory palace, Zhang San's grasp of the feeling always seems so unreasonable. Although it seems very weak now, it is undeniable that it is that breath.

I remember the first time we met, it was in Qingshi Town. At that time, Zhang San was as weak as a child, but now, he is qualified to wrestle with the other party.
