Volume 1: Linzhou Talent Case Chapter 2: Two Questions
The headquarters of the Mirror Division is located to the east of Linyang City. It is in a remote place and is an old house.
However, although the house is old, it occupies a large area and the decoration looks magnificent.
Especially the two stone lions standing outside the gate of the house are more than three meters high and look majestic and solemn.
Duan Ming had just followed Xing Qianqiu into the Mingjing Division's headquarters when he saw a burly man about forty years old walking over.
He glanced at Duan Ming, and then said directly to Xing Qianqiu: "Commander, the results are out."
As he spoke, the burly man handed a piece of paper to Xing Qianqiu.
After Xing Qianqiu took the paper, he glanced at it and handed it to Duan Ming: "Mr. Duan, take a look."
"Oh." Duan Ming didn't refuse, reached out and took it, and looked at it carefully.
Seeing Xing Qianqiu and Duan Ming's movements, the burly man's expression was a little strange.
After following Xing Qianqiu for so many years, he had never seen Xing Qianqiu and others being so polite?
Xing Qianqiu said to the burly man: "This Mr. Duan was invited by me to help our Mirror Division solve the case. No one is allowed to be rude."
"Yes!" The burly man hurriedly clasped his fists.
"In addition," Xing Qianqiu added: "Mr. Duan's needs should be met. However, if Mr. Duan wants to escape, he will be executed on the spot."
"Ah?" The burly man was stunned. The turn of his words was too shocking.
"Hey, hey, I promised to help you solve the case, so I can't escape." Duan Ming's face looked like an eggplant beaten by frost.
It seems that all the escape methods I thought of along the way are useless. If I want to leave here, I can only solve the case as soon as possible.
Speaking of which, Duan Ming is not afraid of solving cases. He has also helped the government solve many cases in the past, so he is quite famous in Linyang City.
Even the prefect of Linyang City knew about the reputation of the "Lame Sixth Man of Nancheng" and once wanted to promote Duan Ming as an exception and let him serve as a general judge.
However, Duan Ming declined all these on the grounds that he just wanted to be an idler.
Therefore, everyone in Linyang City thinks that Duan Ming's temperament is very strange, and they don't understand why he would rather live a life of stealing, eating and sleeping in the open than being an "official" with no worries about food and clothing.
Only Duan Ming knew in his heart that this was related to his big secret - he was not from this world.
In his previous life, or the previous world, Duan Ming suffered from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, commonly known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
People suffering from this disease will gradually become weak and weak, and eventually they will be unable to breathe, swallow, or even their heart cannot beat, until they die.
No matter how hard Duan Ming and his parents try, death is still the sword of Damocles hanging in front of Duan Ming, and Duan Ming will die at any time.
And on Duan Ming's eighteenth birthday, he found a book on the bedside of his hospital bed.
It was a completely white book with mysterious-looking cloud patterns and three strange golden words on the cover.
These three characters were definitely not from this world, but Duan Ming understood them at a glance.
"Lan of Immortality", this book is called "Lan of Immortality"!
There is only one thin page in the book, and on this page is a rune full of mysterious atmosphere.
By the time Duan Ming came to his senses, he was no longer lying in the hospital, but lying on the streets of Linyang City, and the ALS in his body had disappeared silently.
The rune in the book was deeply engraved in Duan Ming's mind, and a glimmer of enlightenment emerged in Duan Ming's heart.
If you attain the "Sigh of Immortality", you will be able to live forever!
As long as he can understand this rune thoroughly, Duan Ming can live forever!
Duan Ming, who had always faced death, was full of longing for immortality, so he couldn't wait to devote all his time to the study of runes.
The fine clothes, fine food, and famous names in history are nothing compared to immortality, so he just wants to study the runes wholeheartedly!
"Mr. Duan." Xing Qianqiu looked at Duan Ming, who had an ugly face, and said calmly: "This is Liu Zhi, a colleague of the Mingjing Department. If you have trouble and can't find me, you can always find him."
When Liu Zhi heard this, he hurriedly clasped his fists and said to Duan Ming: "Mr. Duan, if you have anything to do, just ask me."
"You're welcome!" Duan Ming hurriedly hugged Liu Zhi and said, "You still have to rely on the officer's care!"
"You're welcome." Xing Qianqiu interrupted Duan Ming directly: "Mr. Duan, do you have any thoughts on this case?"
"I know too little, and I don't have much idea." Duan Ming handed the paper back to Xing Qianqiu: "According to your investigation, Qilin Talent Su Meng took a boat to cross the river today, and heavy fog suddenly appeared on the river.
After the fog cleared, Su Meng's body floated to the shore. After inspection, it was found that there were no obvious injuries on the body, and Su Meng had not had any grudges with others recently, right?"
"That's right." Xing Qianqiu nodded.
"Then there are two questions." Duan Ming thought for a while: "First, today is April 11th, and the river god is paying tribute. According to past rules, sailing on the Sulin River is prohibited except for official ships. So why did Su Meng do this?
How about taking a boat on this day?”
"We have investigated this. Grandma Su Meng is critically ill today, so Su Meng came here urgently," Xing Qianqiu said.
"So is Grandma Su Meng's condition confirmed?" Duan Ming asked.
"I'm sure, it did happen suddenly this morning." Xing Qianqiu understood what Duan Ming meant: "In addition, Su Meng has an official status, so the Shipping Department sent a boat to send him across the river."
"That is to say, Su Meng's actions are unpredictable. Wait, it's actually not true." Duan Ming thought for a while and said: "Su Meng's grandmother must be in poor health at her age. If we want her to suddenly become ill this morning,
It’s heavy, there should be a lot of methods.”
"That's right." Xing Qianqiu frowned slightly, but he didn't expect this.
Su Meng was very filial and would rush back immediately if he learned that his grandmother was critically ill.
Therefore, as long as we use means to make Su Meng's grandmother "critically ill" at the right time, Su Meng's itinerary can be determined.
The variable will also become a fixed occurrence.
"Send someone to check if there has been any changes at Grandma Su Meng's house recently." Thinking of this, Xing Qianqiu directly ordered: "Especially this morning, why Grandma Su Meng is critically ill! Don't let go of any details!"
"Understood." Liu Zhi nodded, turned around and left.
After Liu Zhi left, Xing Qianqiu looked at Duan Ming: "Mr. Duan, what is your second question?"
"The second question is very simple." Duan Ming said: "I have lived in Linyang City for several years, but today is such a big day, and this is the first time I have seen such an urgent fog. If something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
, the fog came so coincidental and so strangely, what could be the reason?"
"Is it possible that the river god is really angry as everyone said?" This chapter has been completed!
