Genshin Impact: Liyue's Strongest Thousand Rock Army

The sun in the early morning was gradually rising towards its noon peak, and the young man, who had gotten up early, was hurrying towards Liyue Harbor.

We left alone and came back together as a group.

Because he found a person, or to be more precise, a dead body, in the water tank behind his house in the morning. Even in this not-too-cold winter, the body was already slightly stiff.

If someone dies near a residence, even if the person is an innocent person who did not commit the crime, he or she will still be in trouble with the boss, the most inevitable of which is questioning and interrogation.

Su Ping was innocent. He did not kill that person, so he was not panicked when answering. However, he saw a dead person again and had a bad premonition in his heart.

“Do you know the deceased?” asked the staff from the General Affairs Department. He was a middle-aged man with eyes as sharp as an eagle. Behind him stood several Qianyan soldiers. He had an intimidating aura.

Su Ping, who was sitting on a stool in front of his door and looking at the man at eye level, nodded and said, "You can say I know him, but I don't know his name."

The General Affairs Department staff then asked, "Have you noticed any abnormal behavior of the deceased recently, or any other communication?"

"Neither. I'm not familiar with him. The last time I saw him was at the Moon-Chasing Festival." Su Ping answered calmly.

"Can anyone prove it?"

"My dad, Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang who live next door, Sister Xiao Cui, and Doctor Zhang who lives in the west of the village, and some villagers also know about it, and they can all testify!"

The staff member suddenly half closed his eyes and looked at Su Ping's performance and answers. After verifying the information in many aspects, he found that there was indeed no mistake.

But the other party's fluent answer made him a little concerned. "Can you please explain why such a thing happened near your home, but you... why are you not afraid or even nervous at all?"

Su Ping was not ambiguous. After all, it was not a good time to act cool and pretentious. Otherwise, he might end up in jail.

"Because it's not the first time I've seen it."

The middle-aged man turned to look at a Qianyan soldier behind him. Seeing that he did not make any gesture, he turned back and explained, "I don't have any files about you."

Su Ping didn't say anything, but just nodded to indicate that he understood.

After all, review is an extremely important part of the investigation process, so anything that may be subjective, such as a person's impression, must be nipped in the bud.

Just like the staff member just now, who thought that Su Ping was just a young boy, did not hesitate when faced with the interrogation after seeing the dead body. This was a subjective influence of personal opinion.

"Okay, thank you for your cooperation."

Afterwards, the staff of the General Affairs Department asked the people around them, including Su Ping's father, Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang, and then contacted the people far away in Liyue Harbor to ask Xiao Cui.

Then he visited almost all the villagers, but the answers he got were similar to Su Ping's.

However, after hearing that someone had died in Su Ping's family, they were shocked, but also felt some sympathy and bitterness.

The sympathy comes from the fact that it is almost the Lantern Festival and this unlucky thing happened. The bitterness comes from the fact that they cannot go to ask for a fortune this year, after all, someone just died.

After nearly a day's work, the staff member returned to Su Ping's home with an extra document in his hand, which was the autopsy report of the deceased.

"From the information presented by the body itself, the deceased committed suicide... The time of death was between 2 and 4 a.m. last night."

Next to the staff member stood a man wearing a coat in front of him, gloves on his hands, and a filter cloth covering his face.

There were some sharp-looking knives or pliers in the pockets of the coat. Who else could the man dressed like that be but a coroner standing around the scene of the death?

The staff member nodded and said, "From the investigation of the traces around, the first crime scene is behind the house. An old man suddenly committed suicide by drowning in someone else's water tank..."

"Alas!" The coroner sighed softly, not knowing whether he was lamenting the fragility of life or thinking about the young man's family, why had they encountered this?

The staff member paused and said, "Can we ask again later?"

The coroner replied with something that made people laugh and cry, but also made sense, "You ask me?"

That's true, but he wasn't asking, and he wasn't answering either. The back and forth made for a familiar scene, but that was also the fact.

The staff member took the villagers' "confessions" and knocked on Su Ping's door. The door was not closed, so he knocked on the door to remind the boy sitting at the desk inside the house.

Su Ping turned around when he heard the voice. The man he was looking at was standing at the door. The few rays of light from the setting sun made it possible to barely see the meticulous expression on his face.

"I still have some questions to ask you. Please cooperate with me!"

Su Ping was not surprised that the "second trial" came so quickly. He walked out and answered the other party's questions truthfully.

All the frictions that had occurred with the old man, such as robbing his grandparents' house and causing trouble at their home, were truthfully reported to the staff member, except for the incident during this year's Moon Festival.

During this process, he kept a close eye on Su Ping's changes, but in the end he just nodded. I don't know if it was because he returned in vain or he was too suspicious?

"I see. Thank you for your cooperation. If everything goes well, everything will be fine." The staff member's eyes softened, and it seemed that he was a very gentle person outside of work.

"I'm glad you're okay." Su Ping looked behind his house, but he couldn't actually see it. He was just looking in that direction.

God knows what he felt and what he was thinking when he saw a person, who was almost dead, in his own water tank this morning.

The staff member glanced at the young man, followed his gaze, and said calmly: "It's good to know and understand the law. Fortunately, you didn't touch the dead, otherwise you would be in a lot more trouble."

He was already very sure that this young man was definitely not the murderer, so his tone and attitude became much more casual, and he even started chatting with him.

Su Ping replied: "After staying in Liyue Harbor for a long time, I will definitely understand a little bit."

The two chatted casually, and perhaps because of some habits, neither of them felt awkward, nor did they feel that the other person was a stranger they had just met and felt that they couldn't speak.

At this moment, a Qianyan soldier hurried over and walked to the side of the staff member with a serious expression.

The staff member's expression suddenly changed, and he subconsciously looked back at Su Ping, only to see that the latter had already stepped back a few steps, as if to say "please help me".

After nodding slightly to the sensible boy, the staff member asked Qianyan Jun beside him to tell him what he needed to report, and in a low voice, he slowly explained the whole story.

Su Ping stood a few steps away. The other party lowered his voice again. Logically, he should not be able to hear it, but his five senses, supported by his righteous spirit, were much sharper than those of ordinary people.

He originally thought that he should not listen to anything indecent, after all, the case seemed to be almost closed, and the hurried and solemn look of Qianyan Army might have nothing to do with him, but it was not the case.

When Su Ping accidentally heard the sentence, "Another murder has occurred in the corner of the village, and the deceased is a young woman in her early twenties", he could no longer refuse to listen.

"Since the location is at the edge of the village, my brothers and I just asked around. The girl's brother is the only one left at home. He said that the girl was killed last night."

The conversation ended here and did not continue. It was most likely that further investigation was needed. The staff member listened without saying anything, but his brows became more furrowed and his expression became solemn again.

He looked at Su Ping, said goodbye, and left with the Qianyan Army. In the distance, there were several Qianyan Army soldiers and a man in his twenties from the South Village.

Su Ping watched the two people leave, and recognized the identity of the man from the same village. He was the brother of one of the "eight women who pushed the door and tried to hurt people" a few years ago.

Actually, we haven't seen each other very often since that time. At most, we just glanced at each other from a distance when we were walking on the street.

After staying for a while and watching them asking the normal questions, Su Ping turned around and went back home. He told his father that everything was fine, and then prepared to have someone bring back a large jar when he returned from his stall at Liyue Harbor tomorrow.

After all, someone died in your own water tank. Let's not talk about whether it is auspicious or not. The main thing is that bacteria and other things that are invisible to the naked eye are really disgusting and can easily cause danger.

As for today's water, I had to go next door to fetch some.

Today's fortune is extremely bad. After all, when I went out to fetch water, I met a dead person. It can be said that I am so unlucky that I am reduced to dust.

……

The next morning, Su Ping woke up again and went out to wash up. He subconsciously walked to the back of the house, but suddenly he turned and walked to the back of the house next door.

After finishing his simple daily chores, Su Ping stepped out of the door, walked a few steps towards Liyue Harbor, and then stopped again.

Because there was a person standing on the side of the road with a very serious expression, it was the staff member from yesterday.

He came here to find Su Ping and explained that there was another case yesterday and he needed to ask about some past events related to the woman. Her appearance was exactly the same as yesterday.

Su Ping spilled the beans, revealing everything at once. Even the incident of "eight women pushing the door and trying to hurt people" was described very clearly without leaving out a single detail.

The reason for doing this was, firstly, that he wanted to get away to Liyue Harbor as soon as possible, and secondly, that he had nothing to hide from the staff of the General Affairs Department who handled their affairs impartially.

Because two things that may seem unrelated may, when connected together, be able to follow the clues and find the truth.

Su Ping might not know much about solving cases and reasoning, but he was very familiar with assisting others, especially in the past two years.
