Chapter 12: The Luan Shui Mystery Case

Yue Ye sat at the dining table, quietly watching Yin Qiushui's back gradually disappear into the vast night, and suddenly said to himself: "Will Luanshui really face a flood?"

For a moment, thoughts suddenly arose, and the past is like clouds and smoke...

Mu Sifan just picked up a piece of fish and put it in his mouth to chew it carefully. Suddenly, he heard Yue Ye talking to himself in his ears, and couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Since the priests are divining and prophecy, it's not a bad thing for us to be prepared for any trouble."

"Miss Sifan is right. I will also go to the dam to help tomorrow morning. Uh..." Yue Ye said this and suddenly stopped.

He looked at Mu Sifan and then continued, "I just said that my aunt has not been peaceful recently. What's going on?"

After chewing the food in his mouth, Mu Sifan picked up the teacup on the table and drank the tea in the cup. Then he put on the look of the story of this matter and said in a leisurely manner: "Brother Ye may not know that a few days ago, in the fish pond ten miles north of our Liyuan Village, there were frequent tragedies of children drowned for no reason. The strange thing is that the drowned children did not go into the water to play, but stood on the shore and were dragged down by things under the water for some reason. Before the adults on the shore could react, the children disappeared from the world from then on."

"What the hell is this?"

Yue Ye was excited when he heard it, so he simply put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand and stared at Mu Sifan, looking fascinated by hearing it.

The doubt in his heart caused him to ask this question, so he accidentally interrupted Mu Sifan's words.

After several monarchs worked hard throughout their lives, the country of Cyan had already developed into a super power south of the mainland of Buhe. The outstanding administrative capabilities of several monarchs made the country of Cyan prosperous and prosperous, and the whole country was prosperous and the people were safe.

It has been grown up in the Luanshui River Basin since childhood. Children on both sides of the Luanshui River are basically good at water.

Although more than ten years ago, due to the dereliction of duty as a priest in Hechi, the government failed to prevent the occasional flood caused by Luanshui in time, which led to both parents passing away in that flood.

But the disaster of children drowning for no reason is unheard of.

Taking advantage of the time when Yue Ye was interjecting, Mu Sifan picked up the teacup on the table, raised his head and took a sip of tea, coughed dryly, and then continued: "The most strange thing in the lotus pond is that the drowned child sank into the water and could not see the body floating up. Later, several murders occurred one after another, which scared the people of the surrounding villages to regard it as a forbidden place and avoid the lotus pond from afar.

Later, someone rushed to Hechi Ancient Town to report to the government. The government immediately sent some people who practiced martial arts to the Lotus Pond where the accident occurred. The government sent the trainees to the Lotus Pond, and they were not afraid of the taboos mentioned by the people. As soon as they arrived at the Lotus Pond, they took off their coats and jumped into the Lotus Pond, diving to the bottom of the water to find out. The people around heard that the government sent some talented people to search the pond, so they came to the Lotus Pond together. In this way, the entire Lotus Pond was surrounded by people."

Speaking of this, Mu Sifan took a short rest for a while and took a sip of tea. Yue Ye couldn't help asking: "Have those sent by the government ever searched for something in the lotus pond?"

Mu Sifan took a long breath and continued, "Everyone was busy for a whole afternoon and found nothing. Later, someone from the government suggested that the lotus pond be sealed with several holes connected to the river channel, and to drain the huge lotus pond water. That night, everyone tied stones with shrubs and vines to seal the water around the lotus pond, and then filled the gaps in the gap with mud and sand, making the lotus pond water independent.

Seeing that the government was working so hard to eliminate monsters for everyone, the people of the surrounding villages sent food and drinks for free and assisted the government in draining water. For a moment, the entire lotus pond was crowded, and everyone brought wooden basins and barrels to dig the water. Everyone was so motivated that at noon the next day, when everyone worked together to sleep, the water in the pond was cleaned, and the silt and water plants in the lotus pond were exposed to the surface.

The people from the government were scattered in a very regular manner. After a trial search of nearly a cup of tea carpet, someone finally found the situation on the west side of the lotus pond..."

When Mu Sifan said this, he stopped again as if he was so encouraging, picked up the teacup on the table, and drank a large gulp of tea. Yue Ye could not bear it anymore and blurted out, "What did you find?"

"On the west side of the lotus pond, there is a large piece of aquatic plants, which is deep and above the knee. If you open this piece of aquatic plants, you can see that under the cover of this piece of aquatic plants, there is a not very deep puddle. Someone in the government office jumped into the puddle, cleared the mud and saw a few scattered children's bones in the pit displayed in the puddle."

"Are there no other discoveries in the puddle?"

Yue Ye was interested in hearing it, scratched the back of her head and asked impatiently.

"After careful search by the government, they found the clothes of the drowned children in the puddle, but the clothes had been torn to pieces by sharp weapons and were extremely messy. Some brown and yellow hair was found on the broken clothes, and nothing else was found.

After the piece-up and comparison by everyone at the scene, it was finally confirmed that the scattered wreckage in the puddle were the children who were inexplicably dragged into the lotus pond a few days ago, but there was a hand bone and two leg bones missing in the wreckage."

Mu Sifan couldn't help but take a breath when he talked about this. As if he had witnessed these terrible scenes with his own eyes, a hint of fear and pain flashed across her fair and tender face.

Yue Ye heard this inhumane scene and was extremely angry. His right palm couldn't help but slapped the table heavily, and roared: "Such a cruel beast will surely break him into pieces, and it will not be able to relieve my anger."

"Brother Ye said very well. Everyone present was angry at that time and jumped into the mud to dig the straw and dig the dredge, as if they were about to dig three feet into the ground and also wanted to find out the murderer.

Everyone worked hard for a long time and had no gains, so they went ashore indignantly. Later, an elderly man found the brown hair stained on the broken clothes, which might be the hair of the "water ghost" recorded in ancient books. Some people guessed that the "water ghost" in the lotus pond might have seen the government search, so scared that they fled from the lotus pond long before everyone sealed the pond and escaped into the Luan River along the river.

So the government ordered that everyone on both sides of the Luanshui River must be careful. If anyone finds drowning or finds a place suspected to be a "water ghost" in it, the government must be notified as soon as possible."

Mu Sifan stopped at this point, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

"Did this 'water ghost' appear again later?" Yue Ye stared at Mu Sifan tightly and asked impatiently.

Mu Sifan drank, glanced at Yueye with interest, and then slowly said, "It's really strange to say that since the government closed the pond and searched the last time the government closed the pond, this 'water ghost' seemed to have disappeared and disappeared, and has never appeared again."
