Chapter 22

On a dark, windy night, there was a rustling sound in Jingjihe Temple, followed by faint human voices.

"This is the river god, do you really want to do this?"

"You don't care if he is a river god or not. I have lived here for so many years, and I have never seen him show his spirit once." Later, one person replied: "I tell you, after doing this business, I will spend my entire life. Don't worry, if you want to buy a villa, travel abroad, or want to flirt with as many women as you want, no matter how beautiful they are."

"Okay, okay, let's do it then."

The rooster crowed, and it was early morning. The person in charge of cleaning the river temple walked up the hundred steps slowly, bowed three times respectfully seven steps away from the plaque, and then walked forward in small steps, carefully opened the door with the key. The old lock, stretch out your hand and push it, and your eyes will go dark.

"what!"

"It's not good, it's not good."

"Xiao Qi, what are you doing in such a panic." Sister Chen at the counter looked at the young man with a green face and dressed as a waiter with his hands on the counter, and reminded: "Let the guests see that the image of our hotel is ruined." , let the boss see it, but the wages will be deducted.”

But the words in Sister Chen's mouth did not slow down the young man immediately. With a pale face, he raised his head, looked at Sister Chen, gasped for a few times, and said: "Sister Chen, it's not good, the river god killed someone. When the sky bleeds, the river god is angry and murders!"

"What's going on?" Sister Chen frowned, and said, "Please explain clearly, why did the river god kill someone?"

"Sister Chen, Uncle Gu went to clean the Heshen Temple this morning, and when he opened the door..." The young man obviously thought of the scene he had seen before, and his already pale face became even paler with fright, his eyes panicked. Said: "They are all corpses, they are all hung on the beams of the river god temple, the statue of the river god is still full of blood, and there are a few pieces of meat in the mouth, and there is a bloody corpse lying on the lotus flower where the tribute is placed, The sacrifice to heaven was not completed, the river god got angry and killed..."

"Shut up!" Sister Chen glanced at the young man fiercely, and when she saw the young man was scared to shut up by herself, she became sullen, lowered her head and pressed a few times on the landline, and said, "Boss, Heshen Temple... ..."

"I already know." The man's voice from the receiver was calm and powerful, reassuring, and he said: "Come to my office and talk."

"Okay, Boss." Sister Chen replied, put down the phone after hearing the beeping sound, then reached out and grabbed the young man by the collar, dragged him inside, and said, "Come with me. "

After a good night last night, Qin Youyi, who met an interesting person and slept very well, stretched his waist and walked out refreshed. While walking to the restaurant, he muttered, Why is the atmosphere in the hotel so strange?

All the way to the restaurant, he understood, because the restaurant was as big as a square, but chattering about something, Qin touched his nose intentionally, walked to the table in Yuanyu, sat down, took chopsticks, and ate, all in one go .

Cai Jiaqing rolled his eyes when he saw how he was eating, and said, "Hey, Qin Youyi, you are usually the most thoughtful, why are you quiet today?"

Qin Youyi just stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth. Hearing this, he raised his eyes to look at Cai Jiaqing, chewed it carefully twice, swallowed it with a gurgling sound, and continued to move his chopsticks, but he didn't touch it at all. Cai Jiaqing let it go.

Cai Jiaqing stared angrily, and angrily stuffed a big mouthful of meat into his mouth.

Yuanyu raised his eyes to look at this, then at that, and finally stretched his chopsticks towards the square-shaped piece of...meat with a tantalizing aroma.

Qin Youyou was eating happily here, but suddenly noticed a line of sight focusing on the top of his head, Qin Youyou chewed it several times, and after swallowing the meat, he raised his head and said, "Mr. Lin shouldn't be busy with the Heshen Temple." What's the matter? What's the use of coming to me so early?"

It was Lin Ming who came. Standing by the table, Lin Ming looked at Qin Youyi and smiled.

Qin deliberately pulled a tissue to wipe his mouth very calmly, and said, "Okay, you can talk now."

"Lin came to Mr. Qin just because of the Heshen Temple." Lin Ming said solemnly, "I don't know if Mrs. Qin can intervene in this matter. The Heshen Temple was covered with corpses overnight, and the police sealed off the scene, but... the bloody For the river god, it is a kind of pollution, if it is not cleaned up as soon as possible, the river god will be angry."

Qin deliberately rubbed the hand of the tissue ball, raised his head and said: "I can ask them to go back and talk to the superiors, but it should be impossible. You know, it is very important to find the murderer and protect the scene."

Lin Ming looked distressed, and said: "If the filth is not cleared within three days, even if the priest has great skills, he will not be able to comfort the God of the River. I am afraid that he will really see blood at that time. Can you ask Mr. Qin to talk to you?" Lin together to find the murderer?"

"Oh." Qin stood up intentionally, glanced at Cai Jiaqing, who was eating with puffy cheeks, and said, "You two, are you full? If you are full, set off to see the river temple full of dead bodies." Any clues."

Cai Jiaqing chewed hard twice, swallowed what was in his mouth with He Shui, then stood up, and snorted: "Let's go."

The Heshen Temple was built on a small hill more than ten feet away. A long time ago, when the Yellow River would flood, in order to prevent the Heshen Temple from being flooded, and to allow people to have a shelter at that time , Therefore, even if the top of the hill is smoothed, dozens of steps are piled up, and there are always hundreds of steps from the bottom of the small hill, which is considered solemn and respectful.

Qin deliberately looked around while walking, and when he got to the top, he said: "Three three wins nine, seven seven is 49, nine nine is 81, it's a good time to get this step."

After hearing this, Lin Ming smiled and said, "Young Master Qin has a heart."

Cai Jiaqing couldn't understand it, so he poked Yuanyu's arm and asked in a low voice, "What are they talking about?"

Yuanyu glanced at Cai Jiaqing, and said in a deep voice, "The stairs are divided into three floors, with nine steps on the first floor, 49 steps on the second floor, and 81 steps on the third floor."

"Oh, that's it, what do I think it is." Cai Jiaqing rolled his eyes and said with disdain: "It's just such a nine-nine multiplication table, why did Qin deliberately say it so mysteriously?"

Qin Youyi heard the words, glanced at Lin Ming, and then they both laughed, but didn't say anything. Instead, before Cai Jiaqing made another attack, he moved his eyes to the plaque and said: "Although the color is dull, it reveals a A resentment, I guess...huh?"

Lin Ming also raised his head abruptly, looked at the plaque, his eyes widened slightly, and said, "They even tampered with the plaque!"

Lin Ming was startled and angry. It was a big taboo for these people to secretly tamper with in the River God Temple. Now even the plaques are not spared. The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven has been destroyed. This year, they could not hold back the River God. In this way, I'm afraid it's... not good.

Just when Lin Ming fell into rage, a hand was placed on his shoulder, accompanied by a faint voice.

"Mr. Lin, be safe and don't be impatient."

Qin intentionally patted Lin Ming's shoulder, raised his head and said, "The important thing is to go in and check."
