I just want to be a middleman

The next morning, Qian Duoduo carried a sword on his back and put all the other items in the space. The frequently used items were put in the storage bag, and the spirit beasts were put into the secret realm.

Arriving at the sect gate, I thought I was early enough, but I was unexpectedly the last one to arrive. "Let's go, everyone's here, let's go!"

It was their first time to go out and gain experience, and everyone was eager to go out and gain experience, full of curiosity about the unknown journey. Some of them seemed to be ready to go out and explore the world.

They took the teleportation array and then changed to another teleportation array, and then took another teleportation array to Liushui Town. After so many twists and turns, everyone's faces looked a little unhappy. It would have been okay to take it once, but Qian Duoduo felt a little dizzy after running around so early in the morning.

Just like people who get carsick, what I fear most is changing trains midway. Not to mention the trouble, what I fear most is the hassle, and the feeling of feeling like I can vomit anytime and anywhere.

Liushui Town, as its name suggests, has many small rivers. The houses in the town are built along the rivers. The means of transportation in the town include not only horse-drawn carriages but also small boats.

The river winds through Liushui Town like a ribbon. The water surface is like a mirror, reflecting the beauty of Liushui Town and outlining a beautiful picture.

If it weren't as desolate as it is now, it would be a beautiful picture, with pedestrians on the street hurrying to and fro with looks of fear and caution on their faces.

Qian Duoduo and his group walked for a while before a person who called himself Chen Danan came trotting over to greet them. "You are the ones who are here to help us solve this problem, right? Please follow me."

He brought the group of people to his home, hosted a banquet for them, and then prepared to let them rest for a night before tomorrow. "Let's find out the whole story first." Si Lingwei suggested first.

"Yeah, let's get to know each other first and then make a decision." Qian Duoduo must follow!

Chen Danan took a few people to the conference room and sat them down. He took out the information of people who had recently disappeared or died, and then explained the cause of the incident.

It turned out that three months ago, residents of Liushui Town began to die due to some strange accidents, and many people were missing. Some died from falling and hitting their heads while getting up early or getting out of bed, and some died from falling into the river after drinking at night. None of them made any sound for help when the accident happened.

These deaths are very common under normal circumstances, but 6 people have died in just three months, which shows that the whole thing is unusual.

"Did those who died do the same thing? Or have the same things?" Qian Duoduo asked some questions first, learning from his experience of solving cases in TV dramas and reading novels.

"We didn't notice this either." Chen Danan said embarrassedly.

Si Lingwei: "Why don't we start investigating from here?"

"Yes, sure." Wu Chenshu looked at everyone.

After unanimous agreement, the seven people split into two groups, Qian Duoduo, Si Lingwei and Zhong Ti in one group, and the remaining four in another group.

Qian Duoduo's team went to survey the environment of Liushui Town, while Yun Qifei's team went to check the situation at the victim's home.

Standing on the tallest building in Liushui Town, looking at the crisscrossing rivers weaving through the town, forming a beautiful landscape painting, there is nothing wrong with it from the surface.

Qian Duoduo walked around the building and took in the overall view of Liushui Town. "Duoduo, this should be the formation, right? It looks like these houses are built randomly, but they feel very organized and well-arranged."

Si Lingwei stood beside Qian Duoduo and said, "This is a formation for improving Feng Shui."

Zhong Tiyi also came over and stood side by side with the two of them. "I've seen this formation before. It's for Feng Shui. A good formation complements the terrain here."

The terrain was fine, so they could only go to the other people to see if they had found anything. As soon as they arrived at the door of the first deceased's house, the four of them didn't even go in...

"What's going on?" Si Lingwei walked over and asked.

"This family is a little uncooperative..." Wang Xiao scratched his head.

Looking at the closed door, I couldn't force my way in. At least I should find out why he refused to answer questions. But now I couldn't even see him in person, so it was difficult to implement the plan.

Qian Duoduo took a few steps back and stood on the opposite street, looking at two children on the second floor of this house, who were looking down curiously with their eyes wide open.

Without making any noise to disturb him, Qian Duoduo waited until nightfall to walk through the door and see what was going on. "Let's go to the next one."

When they arrived at the second house, Wang Xiao and Wu Chenshu were one meter away from the door. They knocked on the door and immediately took off from it. How far away were they? What were they doing?

The door opened, and immediately a basin of water came in. I have to say these people really had foresight...

"What does this lady mean?" Qian Duoduo held the door open with his hand and looked at the lady in coarse linen clothes inside. The lady's face was not friendly, and she even felt a bit like a vicious mother-in-law.

"Go away, you are not welcome here."

Qian Duoduo: ??? Has Chen Danan fully informed everyone? If no one or two of them agree to the investigation, then what's the point?

The old lady reached for the door with both hands, her face flushed, but she still hadn't closed it. "Auntie, we just wanted to ask. We're also helping Liushui Town. Do you still want Liushui Town to continue like this? If it's not you today, can you guarantee that it won't be your family tomorrow?"

Si Lingwei also stood beside Qian Duoduo to persuade the old lady. The old lady inside really couldn't close the door and had to let a few people in.

This house has only two floors with one entrance. The lobby is right in front of the entrance, the kitchen is next to it and the toilet is on the other side. The bedrooms are all upstairs. After entering, the old lady still brought tea to a few people.

Qian Duoduo chose prudently, so he didn't drink. Since the others were drinking, he felt embarrassed to ask them not to drink in front of the host, as that would be impolite and not good.

"Auntie, why don't you tell us about the situation?" Yun Qifei said.

The lady sitting next to her didn't say anything for a long time, and there was no expression on her face, which made it difficult to understand. Everyone stopped talking. After all, she had lost a family member, and they were afraid of causing sadness for others by constantly asking questions.

"Three months ago, it was normal. My husband just went out for a drink and fell into the river on his way back. There was nothing strange about it." The old lady spoke in a calm tone without any other emotion.

"Did he say anything to you when he left?"

"No."

"Is there anything unusual?"

"No."

"Has anyone come into contact with him?"

"No."

After answering several questions in a row, Qian Duoduo did not follow them to ask questions. Instead, he observed the arrangement of the furniture around him to see if there was anything different.

After several people asked questions, there was still no progress. Qian Duoduo told Si Lingwei to go to the next house first. After saying goodbye, several people went to the next house to continue asking questions.

After forcing the second house to open, the subsequent visits became very simple. The residents were also very easy to talk to, and we didn't find anything unusual after answering questions.

After visiting these families, Qian Duoduo found that each family had an altar for offering incense, but he could not see clearly what was offered.

When they returned to Chen Danan's house, they found that there were also offerings of incense here. "Ling Wei, come and take a look. I saw this at other houses as well." Qian Duoduo gestured for everyone to look at the altar in the side hall.

"What is this offering for?"

"Water God Luo Qing."

"No, maybe I'm just too ignorant."
