"Damn it!"

Lei Zi has a bad temper. Seeing this, he slapped the table and stood up, and a terrifying cold light burst out from his eyes.

"Brother, don't be excited! Don't be excited!"

Liao Fei pulled La Leizi's sleeve and pulled Leizi back to his seat again.

"I have seen many scumbags in this world, but this Xu Shilin is simply a fighter among scumbags! He deserves to be destroyed by the Xu family! God will not let him go with such garbage!" Lei Zi said angrily, his anger was beyond words.

"The Xu family has already perished, so I won't mention them anymore! Let's go back to A Yao's affairs. Judging from the stories recorded in this unofficial history, the woman holding a red umbrella is undoubtedly A Yao who is in a lingering soul!" I said.

Lei Zi nodded and frowned and said, "But... the Xu family has already been destroyed... Why did A Yao come out to harm people?"

I turned my eyes to Liao Fei.

Liao Fei was stunned for a moment, looked at me, and looked at Lei Zi again. We probably felt a little embarrassed by our eyes: "Two brothers, what do you mean?"

"What does it mean?!" Lei Zi slapped the table suddenly, scaring Liao Fei so much that he almost fell off the chair.

"What happened recently, I'm blamed me?" Liao Fei pointed at himself.

"Don't you blame anyone?" Lei Zi raised his thick eyebrows: "Didn't you throw A Yao's urn in the river? Can A Yao run out and harm people?"

Lei Zi's words are rough and not rough, but the matter is indeed the case. In the past, A Yao's ghost was imprisoned by the urn and did not have such strong ghost power. But after Liao Fei threw the urn into the river, the urn must have broken, and A Yao's ghost lost its restraint and was able to escape, so he could wander unscrupulously in the ancient city.

Liao Fei's actions actually opened a Pandora's box by accident, and all the disasters began with him.

Liao Fei said with a bitter face: "Brothers, stop scolding me, I know I am a sinner! You two are so capable, please think of a solution quickly! I am afraid that when A Yao appears again, I... I will die..."

Liao Fei had a sad face, his originally pale face was even more bloodless.

Mr. Hu was walking back and forth in front of the desk with his hands on his back: "Realistically speaking, the one A Yao hated the most was Xu Shilin, but Xu Shilin has been dead for so many years. Why did A Yao still come out to take revenge? Why did he hurt so many innocent people?"

"She hates more than Xu Shilin!" I gently tapped the table and said in a deep thought: "Although A Yao hates Xu Shilin, she also hates everyone in the ancient city. In fact, Xu Shilin is just the initiator. The people who really sent A Yao to the dead end were the people in the ancient city. Think about it, when A Yao was paraded in the streets and when A Yao was burned and executed, were all the ordinary people shouting to burn the grass ghost? So, in A Yao's mind, everyone in the ancient city was the murderer who killed her! When her ghost came out of the urn, she began to take revenge! So, you, me, and you, including Mr. Hu, as long as you are the people in the ancient city Li in the Fenghuang Ancient City, they are the target of A Yao's revenge!"

"This...this..." Liao Fei suddenly changed his face and started trembling involuntarily.

Lei Zi said angrily: "Don't do this or that. I tell you, you threw away A Yao's urn, A Yao is the first to come to seek revenge. We can protect you in the first day of the first year, but not in the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar!"

"Brother!" Liao Fei turned around and grabbed Lei Zi's sleeve: "It's a fate that we met. I have no credit and worked hard. At least I have found A Yao's background for you. You can't stand by death and refuse to save me!"

"I think we can't sit still and wait for death. We must take the initiative, otherwise more people will be harmed!" I said with a bright look.

"Yes, take the initiative to find A Yao!" Lei Zi said.

"Ah?!" Liao Fei wiped the cold sweat on his face and said, "You still want to... find her?"

"Nonsense!" Lei Zi glared with big eyes: "If you don't find A Yao's ghost and solve it, the Phoenix Ancient City will be in peace for a day!"

I nodded, held my chin and thought, "If you want to deal with A Yao, you must break her illusion! No, to be precise, it is our own illusion! Once you meet A Yao, we will have hallucinations. What is this? If this happens every time, we are in a passive state and we cannot fight A Yao at all, and sooner or later we will die in the illusion!"

Lei Zi touched his forehead: "Jiu Jizi, do you think the victims in front all died in their own hallucinations?"

"It should be!" I nodded and said, "All the victims died suddenly, without scars, and the forensic doctor said they were all cardiac arrest and were scared to death, which proves that they were indeed dead in their own hallucinations!"

"Why do everyone who dies suddenly have hallucinations? According to your previous statement, this hallucination was not created by A Yao, but was created in our own hearts. I wonder why we have hallucinations in our hearts when we are so silly?" Lei Zi asked.

I bit my lip and said, "This is the question that I am confused about. Why did these people, including us, actually have hallucinations after they came to Phoenix Ancient City?"

"We put things back and think about it. What did we do when we came to the ancient city of Phoenix?" Lei Zi looked at me with inquiring eyes.

I squinted my eyes and slowly recalled: "We rented a small black-topped boat upstream, walked down the river, and came to the ancient city of Phoenix. Nothing happened on the road. It was already dark when we entered the ancient city of Phoenix..."

"Well! Yes! It's already dark! I was a little sleepy at that time and washed my face..." At this point, Lei Zi suddenly stopped, as if he had remembered something, and looked back at me suddenly.

Almost at the same time, I turned my head and looked at Lei Zi. At the same time, we thought of a question and shouted in unison: "Shui!"

water?!

What water?!

Liao Fei looked at Lei Zi and me for no clarity, not knowing what we were talking about.

My memories suddenly became very clear. I remember that I held some water and took a big sip. Lei Zi also drank water, washed his face, and finally filled the kettle.

Liao Fei threw A Yao's urn into the river, and we happened to drink the water from the river.

The river water is the common point between us!

"Is it because of the river?" Lei Zi asked in surprise.

"I'm not sure yet!" I looked back at Liao Fei: "Have you drunk the river water recently?"

Liao Fei scratched his head and thought: "Drink it! At the party before the New Year, I drank with my colleagues in the inn by the river and was dizzy. When I went back tonight, my mouth was so dry that I squatted on the shore, picked up the river water and took a sip!"

After a pause, Liao Fei seemed to remember something, shouted, and then said, "I remembered it. It was from that night that I saw A Yao, the Miao woman holding a red umbrella!"

It seems that the matter is eight or nine, and I vaguely know why we have hallucinations, because we have drunk the water in the river, and there are A Yao's ashes and soul in the river.

But as for the reason for the river water, I think we need to go through more argumentation and investigation.

"How to investigate?" Liao Fei asked curiously.

"Check the dead people before and see if they have all drunk water from the river!" I said.

Mr. Hu stroked his goatee: "I can help you with this. I have a nephew who works in the police station in the county. I called him over and asked, there should be a lot of investigations about the deceased during his lifetime!"

Mr. Hu hung up the phone number for his nephew and asked his nephew to come to his house.

Mr. Hu's nephew happened to be on the night shift after get off work. When he heard Mr. Hu's call, he didn't have time to go home to change his clothes, so he went straight to Mr. Hu's house.

Mr. Hu's nephew is about thirties, black and thin, and very lean, and he didn't have time to take off his police uniform.

At this time, the sky was completely bright, and the sound of roosters outside was heard one after another.

Mr. Hu made a simple breakfast, cooked a pot of porridge, and fryed a few side dishes. Everyone talked while eating.

Everyone briefly introduced each other, and we respectfully called Mr. Hu's nephew "Police Officer Hu".

We communicated with Officer Hu about the general situation we had in our hands.

Officer Hu slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "Okay! Okay! These days, I have been thinking about this matter. Based on my years of experience as a police officer, I always feel that the continuous sudden death cases in the ancient city are very strange. However, the official conclusions were all due to heart disease, and the people below us could not say much.

I am very happy that you were able to investigate this matter secretly. And you have found clues now. Since you have found me, I will tell you some of the situations I have here!"

Officer Hu took a sip of porridge, put down his chopsticks and said, "Let me talk about the three recent deceased people. One of them was surnamed Zhang, the owner of Chengnan Yinjie Store. He has always been very healthy and is a winter swimming enthusiast. Two days before his death, he went swimming in the river, without any signs. His family has never heard of him having a history of heart disease.

The second deceased was surnamed Zhong, who was only in his twenties and was the nephew of the deputy county magistrate. The day before his death, he was drinking with someone outside, but he fell into the river drunk and was later rescued. He choked a lot of water at that time. Fortunately, someone gave him first aid measures and escaped. But unexpectedly, he died the next day.

The third deceased was named Liu. He was a tourist from another place. There was no sign before his death. It is said that he also took a boat tour in the river in the afternoon, and died in the Longmen Inn when he came back in the evening. Are you surprised?”

After hearing this, I basically had the answer in my mind.

Whether it is Lei Zi and I, Liao Fei, or the three dead just mentioned, the common point of all of us is the river in the center of the ancient city!
