Return to 1983 and be a detective

After Xu Shan's story was finished, Ren Tiejiao fell into deep thought.

After a while, her eyes suddenly lit up: "I understand. Now we are too anxious. We only ask about things related to this case. We only ask the villagers if there are any strangers and if they know the deceased. Such narrow questions cannot get us at all." Wanted clues.”

Xu Shan didn't expect that Ren Tiejiao had such great understanding. He just said casually that even he himself might not have such an understanding. Unexpectedly, this made Ren Tiejiao realize the truth all at once.

"Yes, Ruzi can be taught."

Being praised by Xu Shanyi, Ren Tiejiao was really encouraged: "Officer Xu, can I also call you Master Xu? I heard that your disciples all call you that. I also want to be your disciple."

"Well... okay, I'll reluctantly accept you as a registered disciple, and then it'll all depend on your performance."

Xu Shan said in a very flattering manner.

Ren Tiejiao felt as if she had been given a shot of chicken blood, and immediately began to investigate again. This time, the method she chose was to chat with the villagers.

I have to say that this big girl has a special kind of affinity. She has no problem chatting with people. No matter what kind of person she is, she can chat very opportunistically.

Soon she got an important clue from the villagers. The wheat field belonged to a man named Fan Daqiang in the village, and some special guests came to Fan Daqiang's house not long ago. These guests' accents were like People from the south stayed at his house for several days, and most people came to the villages around the imperial capital for tourism and leisure, but these guests never left the house.

This is very strange.

Some people say that these southerners are here to hold treasures. People in the imperial capital have legends that there are many Nanmaizi who can hold treasures and can conjure many incredible treasures out of thin air.Some villagers also thought that these people might be tomb robbers, and the tomb they wanted to rob was under this wheat field. According to folklore, when the emperor surrendered, he brought back a girl named Xia from the Daming Lake and fell in love with her.

Ren Tiejiao excitedly told Xu Shan the clues she had.

Xu Shan couldn't help but curse after hearing this. The villagers near the imperial capital were really good at speaking in plain language. They directly told the plots in the TV series of later generations in vernacular. As for Miss Xia by the Daming Lake, when he heard this, he would think of that. One sentence: Your Majesty, do you still remember Xia Yuhe by the Daming Lake?

However, Fan Daqiang's suspicion is indeed quite high.

So they decided to go to Fan Daqiang's house immediately to find out.

Fan Daqiang's house is indeed closed in broad daylight.Xu Shan went over and knocked on the door. After a while, someone came to open the door.

The door was opened by a good-looking girl. When she saw the police coming to the door, she was a little panicked, but she still invited Xu Shan and Ren Tiejiao into the house.

Even made some tea.

Xu Shan and Ren Tiejiao did not drink tea, but asked: "Who are you, how many people are in your family, how many acres of land per person, how many cows in the field..."

The girl was confused by the question. She was stunned for a while before replying: "My name is Fan Jinsuo. This is my home. Apart from me, my father, my mother, and my younger brother are still in school. There are not many people in my family." There are no cattle at all on the acres of land, but now it’s all farmed by machines, so we don’t have to work so hard raising and herding cattle.”

"I heard that some guests from the south have come to your house recently, and they never leave the house without leaving the door. Is this true?"

"Yes, yes, but they are not bad people. They come to visit us."

"Travel? Are you kidding me? Why don't tourists go out during the day and go out to play at night? You think they are night wanderers." Ren Tiejiao got angry when she heard this and said angrily.

Seeing Ren Tiejiao like this, Fan Jinsuo was also startled, and quickly explained: "They are really here for tourism, comrade police officer, I didn't lie at all, my family is just greedy for the rent money they paid. That’s why I kept them here, otherwise I’d call them all out and ask them what’s going on.”

Seeing that Fan Jinsuo was so frightened that his face turned pale, Xu Shan couldn't bear it, so he said, "Okay, please call them out and I'll have a chat with them."

After a while, several yawning people reluctantly came out of the side room. One of them complained: "Who is so unreasonable and disturbing people's dreams?"

"The police are handling the case and now they are asking you. Tell me honestly who you are, how many people are in your family, how many acres of land per person..."

It's this set again.

When these guys heard that they were police officers, they all looked at each other.

There was some panic in his eyes.

It seems that these guys are indeed on to something.

Ren Tiejiao also saw their expressions and immediately shouted: "Now no eye contact is allowed. Please be honest. Who can say it first?"

Her voice was so loud, so loud and clear, that the ears of these guys were buzzing after drinking it.

So one person quickly raised his hand and said: "Comrade police officer, please don't get me wrong. We haven't done anything illegal. Yes, we are indeed not here for tourism. We are here to participate in a ghost market. This ghost market The market only opens at night, so we sleep during the day and only come out for activities at night."

"Are you sure you've never been out during the day?"

"Well, we don't get enough sleep during the day, so we don't have time to go out."

Seeing that what they said did not seem to be false, Xu Shan also ruled out their suspicions, but he was also curious about what this ghost market was, so he asked: "Where is the ghost market you are talking about opened? There are all kinds of things in it." What are you selling?”

Hearing Xu Shan ask, those visitors from the south suddenly became energetic: "This ghost market is really a nice place. In addition to antiques, the things sold there are some rare materials. There are thousand-year-old ginseng in it. Shouwu that has been around for hundreds of years, and some refined Polygonatum japonicum and other things. Many of these things cannot be sold on the market, and it is very likely that the state will not allow them to be sold. But the things we sell are definitely not illegal. That’s it.”

"What do you sell?"

"A few of us are from the south. We got some Buddhist amulets and some weird things from Nanyang. These things are blessed with magic, can ward off evil spirits, make people rich, and so on. There are also some birds Mouths, rhino horns and other things, Comrade Police Officer, it shouldn’t be illegal for me to sell these things.”

In this era, the protection of wild animals was not so strict, so products such as rhino horns or ivory were not included in the list of prohibited wild sales, so in principle, these people really did not break the law.
