Chapter 417: Small Town

Every time Yu Qingyao gave out two pieces of silver, Afu would frown with heartache, and calculate what to buy.
You know, all of this money was made by Afu.
She now knew where all the hard-earned money had been spent.
After treating several patients, one patient recovered and said with hope: "Yu Xianzi, you will cut off demons and remove ghosts, right?"
Yu Qingyao hesitated for a moment and said with a smile: "Of course, I am a Taoist. It is my duty to cut off demons and remove ghosts. The treatment is incidental. What's wrong? Is something wrong?
The patient said, "Yes, we have been missing for a while now. We suspect it was a monster. But the local Taoist did not find it, so he said no. Could you please take a look?"
Yu Qingyao frowned. Generally speaking, few ghosts can escape the detection of local Taoists. If the local Taoist cannot detect it, it means that things are very troublesome. Even if she does, she may not be able to solve it satisfactorily.
Yu Qingyao is not very interested in killing monsters and cutting ghosts, and hates trouble.
Someone is missing. It really doesn't have to be a demon. Abductions, robbery and killings, abductions, and perverted serial killers can all lead to continuous disappearances.
In Yu Qingyao's view, if this thing was really done by a demon, it would be okay. If she did it, she wouldn't necessarily be able to solve the case. She has never done anything like this!
But in the presence of everyone, she would not be able to shirk. She bit her head and smiled, "So! Can you tell me in detail what is going on?"
She was very skillful in saying that she did not say yes or no.
But she said that people would subconsciously think she agreed.
The patient said excitedly that this kind and famous fairy was interested in helping.
The crowd of onlookers also followed your words and my words.
This has troubled people in town for a while. Many people are worried about it.
People have been missing in town since years ago. The earliest fisherman, he lived in a cottage by the river. People didn't see him come out to sell fish for several days, but people found him missing.
Because the body was not found, and his boat, fishing nets and other things were all there, and the money hidden under the bed was not taken away.
People guess that he was killed.
A few days later, a young businessman who went home to celebrate the New Year went out one night and said he had an appointment with a friend. After going out, I never came back. The next day, his family found a friend's house, but the friend said that he had not seen the businessman at all.
In the evening of the Chinese New Year, another little girl disappeared.
After the New Year, within a few days, an old woman went out to leave relatives, and then never returned.
A few days ago, a soldier in the town drank home at night, but as a result he did not return home and has since disappeared.
There was a beggar in the town, but it's gone now.
It was also said that a small cargo man who had been here often had not seen him recently.
In this way, seven or eight people, men and women, are missing.
Yu Qingyao listened strangely. Generally speaking, demon ghosts have fixed recipes, some like eating young children, some like killing young men, some prefer women, some like bullying the elderly, and there are very few demon ghosts who ca n’t choose See you.
Those who are not picky eaters are usually bold and arrogant, but judging from this case, this monster seems very cunning and unreasonable.
It is also unreasonable to say that people did it. The missing people have nothing to do with each other, not because of love and hatred. They are ordinary people, and they have little money on them. Unless there is a killer maniac in the area.
auzw.com But if there is such a lunatic, such things should always be talented.
Even a lunatic must be a daring and attentive lunatic, because he will destroy the corpse and make it impossible for everyone to notice.
Such people should know how to not commit crimes in a frantic manner, and how rabbits do not eat grass on their nests.
Perverted killers also often have specific killing targets and are not so picky.
Yu Qingyao thought for a while, and found it difficult to find out, and smiled, "I know the situation, and once I close the booth, I will look it up."
Everyone expects that the fairy must kill the monster and return to a peace in the town.
Yu Qingyao couldn't help but nodded with a peaceful smile.
After closing the booth, she went to the Taoist guarding the town.
The Taoist said something about the missing person, and he did not say as much as the street people said.
However, he was serious and responsible, and he himself drew a map with the approximate locations of those missing.
Yu Qingyao took a closer look at the map and pointed at the Wenhe River next to the town. "It seems that these people are missing by the river. Have you checked them?"
The man said embarrassingly, "I checked, but found no enchantment. You know, the river demon in the river is the most difficult to check. The river is constantly flushing, there will be enchantment near the river, and it will be washed away by the river soon."
Yu Qingyao nodded. Li is indeed such a reason. On the land, where the monster walks, as long as it is not wind and rain, the demon's anger will slowly dissipate, and there will be traces. The big rivers are different. The river flows constantly, and the demon spirit almost disappears in a blink of an eye.
If it is a water ghost, the ghost is almost integrated into the river, and it is difficult to detect a trace of ghost in a river.
Yu Qingyao thought for a while and said, "Is the fisherman the first person to disappear?"
The Taoist nodded and said, "I checked three times and no one was missing before him."
Yu Qingyao said, "Is there anything unusual before the fisherman disappeared?"
The Taoist scratched his head and said, "Yes, he was a bachelor, but he bought a woman's dress for no reason, and some rouge. Some people said that he heard a woman's voice in his house at night. I asked after Next, no woman was affiliated with him nearby. Later someone disappeared, so I didn't check it carefully. "
Yu Qingyao asked, "Is there any money?"
"No?"
"So, is there anything else you shouldn't have?"
The Taoist froze, scratching his head and saying, "I don't know this clearly. I'll ask Zhang Ar to come and ask."
Yu Qingyao nodded, and the man went out and called a middle-aged arrester to come in soon.
Zhang Cha quickly saw Yu Qingyao saluting.
Yu Qingyao said with a smile: "No need to be polite, I ask you, can the fisherman's dress and rouge still be after he disappeared?"
Zhang arrested for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I didn't see it."
Yu Qingyao asked again, "So, is there something in his room that shouldn't be there?"
Zhang Qia frowned for a while and said, "When the fairy said that, I remembered that there were a few things that looked strange."
The man listened and asked, "What?"
Zhang catched his hand and said, "There is a large porcelain bottle, half a person tall, with flowers and birds painted. I have only seen something similar in Mr. Zhou's house."
