In the early morning, we came to the general dispatch room of Sanmenxia Hydropower Station, which is the temporary command center of the Crime Team.

I heard that I was a corpse-catching man on the ancient Yellow River Road, and many of them were curious and surrounded me to ask questions.

"Tuoba Gu, have you ever caught any treasures?"

"I heard that the ancient Yellow River road is very evil. Have you ever encountered any strange things?"

"How many corpses have been caught? Will the corpses transform from the retrieved corpses?"

"What do you charge? There are many corpses in the Yellow River every year, so you should be able to make a lot of money, right?"

I feel like a gorilla in a zoo. Facing people with all their mouths, I don’t know whether to choose to answer or remain silent.

Old Yang quickly came out and relieved me: "Go and go! Are you all okay to do? Go back to your posts!"

The crowd dispersed and I felt relieved.

"Okay, let's talk about the serious matter now!" Lao Yang handed me a glass of water: "What do you think about this corpse-catching mission?"

I took the water cup and took a big sip: "Get me a map of the Yellow River Basin first to take a look!"

After a while, the old bird brought me a map of the Yellow River Basin and spread it in front of me.

I drew a red cross at Sanmenxia Hydropower Station to represent the location of the accident. Then I became famous for Lao Yang's time of the disappearance case, and then checked the staff of the hydropower station for the flow rate and flow of the Yellow River during this period, etc.

In fact, corpse fishing is a technical job. It is not as simple as ordinary people think. Just drive a boat out and salvage the corpse. In fact, otherwise, the Yellow River is so big that if you want to find the corpse with a black-topped boat, it is undoubtedly a needle in a haystack. In order to increase the success rate of corpse fishing, we must make detailed preparations before leaving the boat.

First, you need to understand the time of death of the corpse and the location of the fallen water, then calculate the speed of the Yellow River flow during this period, etc., to determine which section of water the corpse may have drifted to. It also needs to analyze the terrain and other elements in this section of water, and roughly determine the direction of the corpse's drifting so that it can be intercepted in a timely manner.

After considering various factors, I drew a circle in the middle of the river section from Luoyang to Jiaozuo, and I analyzed that the body might have floated to the central river section from Luoyang City and Jiaozuo City.

After analyzing the approximate location of the body, I asked Lao Yang to help me do something overnight, which was to buy a black-topped boat, then a glutinous rice candle, plus a big red rooster. These things are ordinary things, and the Crime Team should be able to do it easily.

"Yes, you still need some yellow paper and cinnabar, remember!" I emphasized.

"Pack to me!" Lao Yang said, slapped his chest.

After agreeing to my request, Lao Yang arranged a single room for me to rest so that I could keep my spirits well.

I was indeed a little tired, and I saw that it was getting late, so I fell asleep after falling asleep.

In my sleep, I saw Li Zi naked again. She gently stroked her chest with her hands, threw her eyes at me, and shouted sweetly: "Brother Xiaogu, come here quickly! Come on! Come on!"

Just as I was in high spirits and was about to throw Li Zi down, Lao Yang's voice exploded in my ears: "Tuoba Gu, get up, it's time for us to set off!"

I suddenly opened my eyes, and the snow-white girl's body disappeared in front of me, replaced by Lao Yang's stubble-covered face.

Alas, is this really God's will? I don't even let Li Zi be intimate in my dreams!

Lao Yang looked at me with a weird look, and his eyes moved from my face to my crotch: "Young man, you're so angry!"

I looked down and immediately covered my crotch with embarrassment, and a noticeable tent was raised on the crotch.

"Old Yang, you are such a pervert. Everyone is a man. You... you actually look at someone else's place..." I turned over and got up from the bed and found a golden sun hanging in the sky outside. The weather is good today.

"Let's go, have lunch first, and then start work after lunch!" said Lao Yang.

"Eat lunch?" I was stunned.

"Yes! It's noon! You slept too late last night, and I'll have some more busy next time. I have to let you keep your energy up!" Lao Yang said.

The lunch was very rich. After lunch, I returned to the room and drew a few yellow talismans in case of emergency.

After everything was ready, we went to the Yellow River.

Because the black-topped boat is narrow and can't sit a few people, so there are only three people following me when I go out this time, Lao Yang, Lao Bird and Cao Yi, the dead girl.

Before leaving the boat, a ceremony to worship the King of the Yellow River must be held, which is the ancestral teaching of the corpse-catching man.

I took out the prepared big red rooster, waved my knife to cut off the chicken's head, sprinkled the chicken's blood on the deck, and then walked around the deck and sang: "Dear King... You must bless your descendants... You are an immortal god... You let all the wandering souls go back... Let us a safe ancient road of the Yellow River... yah... yah..."

"Why did he sing something inexplicable like a charlatan? It's so unpleasant..." Cao Yi murmured in a low voice.

Old Yang glared at Cao Yi and told her not to speak nonsense: "There are rules for those who are good at corpses. This is the rules for others to catch corpses. Just look at them, don't comment casually!"

Cao Yi stuck out his tongue and didn't dare to speak anymore.

After singing the song, I inserted three lit incense candles into a bowl of snow-white glutinous rice, then placed the chicken head in the middle of the bow of the boat, bowed devoutly to the chicken head, and finally sank the glutinous rice with the incense candles into the Yellow River together with the big red rooster. Then I clapped my hands and turned to Lao Yang and said, "Let's go! Let's go!"

The sun is red, illuminating the river surface red.

When I was just holding the worship ceremony, I was a little confused. It has been more than a year since I last left with Fan Shuai and Grandpa, and it has been nearly a year since Gu Meidi left. It turned out that time passed so quickly without realizing it.

I remember that at that time, Fan Shuai was fishing on the boat, and grandpa was telling the story of the ancient Yellow River Road, and Gu Meidi was playing with me, watching the scenery of the Yellow River side by side. However, now, Fan Shuai is dead, grandpa is dead, and Gu Meidi has lost the news. Those who once accompanied me are gone now, and I feel very sad.

It is already early summer now. It rained two days ago. The river flowed slightly faster than usual. The black-topped boat was like an arrow leaving the string, flying towards the lower reaches of the river.

Looking at the turbulent water flow, Cao Yi felt a little panicked and said quickly: "This kind of black-topped boat is really too dangerous. Why do we have to take this kind of boat? At least we have to take an iron boat. What if the boat capsizes? Who will save us in this vast Yellow River?"

"Don't worry, Tuoba Gu is a water Fuzi on the ancient Yellow River Road. Even if the boat capsizes, he will save you!" Lao Yang said.

Cao Yi gave me a blank look: "I don't want him to save me!"

Cao Yi, this dead girl, has never been able to get along with me, and I don’t have much affection for her, so I said directly: “Okay! I will never save you at that time, so I will let you die for yourself!”

"You..." Cao Yi pointed at me, blushing his cheeks: "You can say such words. Are you still a man? If you don't save me, you won't save me. If I die, I will become an unjust soul and pester you!"

I slapped and said with a smile: "All you can accompany me!"

Lao Yang and Lao Bi also smiled at me. They both knew my skills and could handle the wronged souls with ease.

I am too lazy to argue with the little girl Cao Yi, concentrate on supporting the rudder, and stop talking nonsense to her.

Lao Yang patiently explained to Cao Yi: "Using a black-sailed boat to catch corpses, this is the ancestral rule of the Yellow River corpse fisherman. The black-sailed boat is black and symbolizes death. It is like a soul-saving boat, so other boats are just irreplaceable. Also, have you seen the net bag at the stern of the boat? It is a corpse fishing net, the shaft is made of peach wood, and the corpse-restrained pattern is engraved on it.

And I heard from Tuoba Gu that the big net is not an ordinary net, it is made of virgin girl's hair, then soaked in black dog blood for three days and three nights, and finally exposed to the sun forty-nine days!"

"What a pervert! Why do you need to use virgin hair to weave a net?" Cao Yi asked with his eyes blinking.

Lao Yang said: "Because only by using this method to wove the corpse nets can we control the evil energy on the body of dead bodies, so as to avoid terrifying corpse transformations during the corpse fishing!"

Cao Yi nodded thoughtfully: "It turns out that there are so many strange rules in the corpse-catching business. It's really a long time to learn more!"

I was secretly amused in my heart: "What you know is just the superficial. If you know that we have other means to catch corpses, we can ensure that you have a broad mind and subvert your three views and cognition!"

Although the water flows fast, my boat driving skills are still good. Even though the road is a bit ups and downs, we still entered the Luoyang River section without any danger and came to the pre-demarcated water area.

At this time, it was almost evening.

In early summer, it was getting darker and late.

There is a taboo for corpse hunters. Before it gets dark, the boat must be collected and cannot continue to catch corpses. Because after it gets dark, all the lonely ghosts in the ancient Yellow River road ran out, with heavy yin energy, and the corpses caught are extremely prone to corpses. On the other hand, corpse hunters are also prone to encounter evil things. So for safety reasons, the ancestors set this rule.

I looked at the time. It was probably one or two hours before dark, and there was not much time left.

If no floating corpse is found within one or two hours, we have to stop at the shore and wait until dawn tomorrow before making plans.

Of course, it is impossible for a corpse fisherman to succeed 100% after taking off the boat.

I dare not completely conclude that the bodies of the nine missing people are all in the Yellow River. Maybe some people die in the Yellow River, or maybe some people are thrown away elsewhere.

The final missing was the deputy stationmaster Zhou Wei and his mistress. The reason why I came to the Luoyang River section was inferred based on the time of Zhou Wei's disappearance.

If it is delayed for another day, Zhou Wei's body will drift to the downstream river section with the water flow. At that time, I will re-infer the possible waters of the body, which is very troublesome.
Chapter completed!
