At night, the scenery is lonely and the moonlight is lonely.

The hustle and bustle of the day has been replaced by tranquility. Occasionally, there are one or two gong sounds, but under the pale moonlight, the people on watch are reminding Tianqianwuzao to be careful about the candles, and there are some crisp insects.

"Master Xiao, during the day, the three men who were humble in their posts accompanied the village chief Li Sanhuai to inspect the river. There was nothing unusual about Mr. Shen Dao?" Headcatcher Wang Hu looked at Xiao Zhan who was sitting upright and said in a deep voice.

"Let's put aside the matter of the River God for now. A Taoist priest from Ziyang Temple was in the village during the day and found that some villagers were controlling evil puppets to harm people. I suspect that the sacrifice to the River God may be related to the kidnapping and trafficking of children in the village." Xiao Zhan

He pondered and spoke out his speculations during the day.

"What do you mean, sir?" Wang Hu's pupils shrank, he suppressed the fear in his eyes and asked quickly.

"There is still one day tomorrow. You take the opportunity to inquire and see what Li Sanhuai's attitude is towards this matter and whether he has been involved in it."

"Li Sanhuai is the head of a village. Even if he has not participated in the kidnapping and trafficking of children in the village, he will at least know something about it and even acquiesce in it. I don't know what Mr. Xiao means by this, so that he can give his humble position a chance.

A clear goal." Wang Hu said.

When he thought about it, it was absolutely impossible for the head of a village to turn a blind eye to this matter. Since it was certain that some villagers were using evil methods to harm others, why bother making distinctions? Wouldn't it be simpler to find the evidence directly?

"This person can send people to Wu'an County for help before the sacrifice. No matter what his purpose is, as long as he supports us in the next action, it will be easier for us to find evidence...

On the contrary, if all this is just his own directing and acting, we can find some clues more easily." Xiao Zhan explained patiently.

Although he could directly refute Wang Hu's little head-hunting question with official authority, in this way, he would inevitably have to do his best to handle the matter.

Moreover, this move can also test whether Wang Captou and Village Chief Li have any ulterior motives.

Dang Mo Si is always cautious when going out to handle cases. After all, evil demons have too many ways to deceive people's hearts, so many times they cannot even trust the local officials.

"I understand." Wang Hu nodded, feeling the solemnity in Xiao Zhan's words, and his expression became a little more solemn.

"Bang, bang..." At this time, there was a special knock on the door.

"It's okay, he's my man, it's not because of special circumstances." Wang Hu pricked up his ears and quickly explained to Xiao Zhan.

"Yes." Xiao Zhan nodded without saying anything, showing his trust in Wang Hu. He picked up the tea on the table and drank it. The tea was slightly dry, but after a careful aftertaste, it had a sweet taste.

"What's going on?" At the same time, Wang Hu opened the door and saw a police officer standing outside the door. He looked around and found no one prying at him.

"Come in and talk."

"Village Chief Li sent someone here, saying that he has something important to discuss with Mr. Wang." Detective Zhang Qing entered the room, saluted the two adults in front of him, and said.

"It's almost time now, why can't we talk about it tomorrow?" Wang Hu glanced at Xiao Zhan and frowned, remembering what they had just discussed.

"The humble official also asked the visitor the same way, but the visitor only said that this matter is of great importance, and only at this time can I tell the adults." Zhang Qing explained bravely.

"Where is Zhao Si now?"

"I'm making a side attack in the hall downstairs." Zhang Qing said quickly.

"Master Xiao, I'm going to the appointment to see what's going on. What do you think?" Wang Hu looked at Xiao Zhan.

"What happened during the day may cause alarm. You must pay attention to safety when you go. I will follow you in the dark." Xiao Zhi thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

"Zhang Qing, you are standing outside the door as a cover. If Mr. Xiao and I do not return, you should immediately return to Wu'an County and inform the county magistrate that there is a demon causing chaos in Hehe Village, and send people to quell the chaos as soon as possible." Wang Hu said in a deep voice.

"I understand, sir, please rest assured." Zhang Qing looked serious, knowing that this matter was of great importance, and said solemnly.

"That's it, it's time to leave your humble position." Wang Hu felt relieved, and after saying this to Xiao Zhan, he went out.

After a while, he and Zhao Si who were downstairs followed the people secretly sent by the village chief and left quickly under the cover of night.

"That man acted decisively during the day. If the village chief hadn't been testing him now, that man might have taken the opportunity to take action..." After watching Wang Hu and others go away, and after confirming that no one was prying, Xiao Zhan looked at Zhang Qing outside the door.

At one glance, he jumped out of the window and escaped into the night.

…

"Village Chief, it's not good, Village Chief..." In front of a large house somewhere, a young man hurriedly slapped the concierge.

"Why are you so alarmed?" The gatekeeper opened the door half-closed impatiently.

"Brother Erniu, please hurry up and inform the village chief. The officers and soldiers in the daytime hijacked Brother Li Kui for some unknown reason and broke into the ancestral hall. Now the elders of the two clans have led people there," the young man said hurriedly.

"What?" Erniu, who was guarding the gate, was shocked when he heard this. A scene where officers and soldiers made a scene in the ancestral hall and injured the tribesmen suddenly appeared in his mind, and he said immediately.

"Genzi, just wait here and don't run anywhere."

Soon, the house was brightly lit, and after a commotion, Li Sanhuai jogged all the way, followed by a burly green-skinned man holding clothes in one hand and a lamp in the other, who was obviously the Erniu brother Genzi mentioned.

"Genzi, hurry up, lead the way." Li Sanhuai shouted as soon as he went out. At the same time, he took the clothes from Er Niu and put them on as he walked.

…

Ancestral hall, hall.

"Where's the village chief?" Wang Hu looked at the memorial tablets of his ancestors on the memorial tablet, and then glanced at the empty people in the hall. He frowned and looked at the young man leading the way.

"The village chief is at the back of the hall. Sir, follow me." Li Kui lowered his head and said respectfully.

"However, the village chief once told the villain that it is best for only two people to know about what we are talking about this time, so please..."

"Zhao Si, you stay here." Wang Hu thought for a moment, glanced at the ordinary young man, and said to the following policeman.

"I obey my orders." Zhao Si clasped his fists and glanced at Li Kui, who was guarding outside the hall.

"My lord, please come in. The village chief has been waiting for a long time." Li Kui didn't care. He just pointed to the bright main room and said respectfully, with a hint of cold disdain in his eyes.

"Huh." Wang Hu looked at the concierge, remembered what Xiao Zhan said before, snorted coldly, and stepped in.

After a while, the door was closed tightly, but Zhao Si, who was guarding the door, suddenly changed his expression and heard a roar from inside the room.

"Li Sanhuai, you are so brave, even if you try to murder the imperial official." In Wang Hu's frightened and angry voice, Zhao Si fiercely pulled out the steel knife and was about to rush into the door.

Boom!

Suddenly there was a loud noise, and a big hole suddenly broke out in the door and window next to it. Wang Hu's burly body, like a leaky sandbag, flew out of the house and hit the huge wooden pillar in the hall hard.

Hot blood spurts out while the person is still in the air.

"Sir." Zhao Si changed his face in shock and was about to rush over.
