"Thank you for your hard work, how much does it cost?"

However, the coachman shook his head and showed a simple smile at me.

"Guardian, I have to pay you money to protect us every day. How could I be embarrassed to collect money from you?"

Although I think it's strange, after all, I've just taken office for a while, so why should I try my best to protect me?

But no matter how I persuaded me, the coachman refused to charge a penny.

In the end, I compromised.

The relatively wet and cold mountain wind blew slowly in the morning when I was close to the forest. I wrapped my long-sleeved windbreaker tightly while walking, and secretly sighed at the rapid change of the weather in the mountains.

Thinking that it was still some time before noon, I took out a pack of Hongwan from my top pocket and lit one at random and started to suck it. After being moisturized by nicotine, I began to feel comfortable and even a little fluttering.

Just like the first time I saw the child in nature, I walked curiously on the shore, looking at the foggy lake water from afar, listening to the ebb and flow of the tide and the sound of the lake water slapped on the rocks, I unknowingly realized a bit of Zen.

If it were an ordinary person, maybe he would have gone into a nearby convenience store and bought a bottle of wine to drink it, but I don’t plan to drink it now. I know that once I drink it, it will affect my perception and judgment.

And the only thing I rely on for survival is judgment.

I have bound my daily life so hard that I don’t know how long it took for me to be really happy. Perhaps the big case about my sadness was still under my heart.

With this experience, I know that I am destined to be happy in this life.

I continued walking along the coastline slowly, enjoying the quiet time that belongs only to me, while waiting for the scorching sun, breaking through the mist in the sky, and shining on the earth again.

This sometimes quiet and sometimes turbulent sea brings considerable income to the local residents, but at the same time, it will take people's lives from time to time from a curse.

Although I don’t know whether this place is drug trafficking, I know that the relevant person in charge of this area is too lazy in terms of safety.

With such a surging wave, there is no protection around the sea, and there is not even a warning sign. It is precisely because of this that countless brave residents are rushing to jump down to swim.

Even in such a wet and cold weather today, many villagers who like to swim gathered around the lake. They first swam a few laps in the nearby shallow water area as warm-up, and then they had to swim hard to swim away. Then they suddenly turned back like a submarine.

Seeing these villagers coming and going freely in the waves, I felt a trace of indescribable envy.

But I also know my physical condition and is not as good as them, so I can only stand and watch from a distance.

But suddenly the carnival of swimming enthusiasts turned into a riot. The swimming enthusiasts who were originally scattered around the lake suddenly moved towards a point, and then they threw the bag of things on the shore as if they were carrying a bag of heavy things, but they hesitated on the lake, staring at the bag of things and talking.

I took the crowd curiously and wanted to find out.

But when I squeezed into the crowd and saw what they were discussing, I was stunned like the people around me.

Because what they dragged out was not a bag of things, but a villager of their age.

But the villager had already swallowed his breath. In order to confirm whether his judgment was correct, I even squatted down and pressed his pulse a little, and then carefully checked his eyes.

It is true that this man is dead, and the lake that has given them countless wealth has once again taken away a life, as if this is a sacrifice to God.

As a villager in this section, I have never seen these actions of me, and they all came up, hoping that I could say something long and long.

But I just shook my head helplessly and said a few words lightly.

"Call the police now."

Several villagers around quickly called the phone, and the whistling police cars and ambulances arrived at the scene half an hour later.

I shook my head helplessly and sighed at the weakness of the law enforcement force in this place. If this was a murder case, the scene would have been almost destroyed.

Seeing the busy police and doctors at the scene, I sighed and decided to help them. After all, this is also a living life. I don’t want any deviations in the incident to affect the result.

After arriving at the scene, the police quickly blocked the scene, and the doctor's rescue stretcher had been arranged, and the body was placed on the stretcher and prepared to be transported away.

But when the doctor was about to transport it away, I actually went up and stopped the doctor, intending to ask him what he wanted?

"Sorry, we are performing official duties, please don't disturb you."

But after seeing the appearance of the visitor, he was shocked and began to apologize for his words just now.

"I didn't expect that the one standing in front of me was the famous guardian of the temple. I didn't recognize it just now, and I was really disrespectful."

But what was even more shocking was me. I didn't expect that I would know myself just a guardian, from civilians to law enforcement agencies, and if no one had established a relationship for me in private, I would really not believe it.

But now I don’t care about my identity. I want to know what happened and what happened to this corpse?

Although the pale skin and purple cheeks can fully demonstrate that the body has been dead for a while, this does not absolutely prove that this body was really drowned.

"When you just had an examination, did you see some special wounds appearing on this corpse? Such as internal injuries."

Although the doctor was surprised by my sudden problem, he immediately felt relieved. After all, the guardian of the temple is standing in front of him. In addition to being responsible for the safety of the entire temple, the guardian of the temple is also responsible to the residents nearby. After all, he is now like a guardian god.

The doctor naturally did not dare to neglect to tell me the results of his brief examination.

"I don't know if the Guardian has noticed that there are different degrees of cuts on his cheeks, arms, chest and legs. But this is easy to understand. After all, there are indeed many stones in the water that are washed very sharply by water. Moreover, due to the effect of the water flow, even a small shell can cut people like a knife. The wound has become severely purple, which means that it has been soaking in the low-temperature water for a while."

After hearing the doctor's words, I nodded directly. This was the same as I just observed, but I would like to hear the doctor's conclusion.

"This person is either unconscious or deliberately showing off his strength if he wants me to say."

The doctor looked at the body in front of him again and shook his head helplessly.

"Often people will go ashore to check the wounds as soon as they are injured when swimming. After all, sea salt in the sea is extremely unfavorable for wounds. If they have not been treated within a certain period of time, they may be infected."

But I have my own opinions.

"Did you think it was because the water was so cold that he didn't notice the wound on his body?"

I also know that low temperatures can temporarily numb people's tactile nerves. I remember that once I was accidentally scratched by a branch on the roadside when I went out in winter and didn't notice it. When I got home, I found that the blood on my arms had almost frozen.

After hearing my inference, the doctor nodded, but the face still had the same questioning expression.

"Guardian, what you said makes sense. It is indeed possible, but the wound I just told you about him is only a part of it!"

The doctor's words surprised me. I didn't expect that my inference was correct. Could it be that this was really a murder together?

"Of course I know that the relatively low temperature in the water can cause its tactile nerve paralysis, and I can't feel the pain of the wound for the time being, but what I'm even more curious about is how the blood stasis under his skin comes from?"

The doctor said while using his fingers to point to the victim's chest, thighs, shoulders, and even neck.

Although it is impossible to judge how deep and big the wound under its skin is through the naked eye, what we are sure is that no one is suffering from this kind of injury and can still swim in the water with ease.

"These wounds are not fatal."

However, the doctor could not answer this question, so he shook his head helplessly.

"I can't answer yet. After all, I can't tell how deep the wound is just based on my naked eyes, but it is not ruled out that the possibility of death of these wounds."

However, compared to discussing whether this wound is to death or not, what I am more curious about now is how this wound is formed.

"According to reason, it is impossible to have such wounds in water, right?"

Although I haven't swam a few times, I've still been in the water after all, and I know how difficult it is to form such wounds in the water.

"I don't know this, but based on all the information we just obtained, what I can tell you is that the death time of this corpse should be within five hours, and there are more things left, probably going to the hospital for these tests to tell you the results."

Only then did I realize that I was wasting too much time for others, so I nodded quickly and asked the doctor to leave.

Now only one team of police officers is left to stay on the scene to investigate the on-site environment.

After watching the doctor leave, I stood on the shore and pondered. After all, there is too little evidence now and there is serious lack of intelligence.

First of all, the doctor said that the death time was within five hours, which was too long. I knew very well what changes had the body experienced in the water in Wu's hour?

I have no way of knowing all of this, and I am afraid that it will not be known until the report of the body is released.

And there was nothing left at the scene. After all, I knew very well that this morning was when the sea was rising, and that was why so many people came to swim at this time.

The countless waves that washed ashore quickly washed away the only remaining evidence on the coast or on the beach, which means that the police officers can be doing useless work on the spot investigation now.
