Urban Witcher

Mayor Qiu set up a table in a restaurant in the town, which was much richer than the one he ate at his house yesterday. Ye Shaoyang and Cuiyun were still the same as yesterday, just eating. During the meeting, Mayor Qiu wanted to inquire about Ye Shaoyang's background, but Ye Shaoyang only said that he was a Taoist priest of Xuanqing Mountain, and he didn't want to say more about the rest, and Mayor Qiu didn't dare to ask more.

While drinking, Mayor Qiu told the follow-up of the incident last night. He sent people to investigate last night, and later found out that the person who was shot to death last night was an outsider who bought the building. He has lived in the house for about half a year, and he doesn't usually interact with anyone. The neighbors on the left and right don't know him very well. He is still investigating the identity of that person.

Ye Shaoyang dealt with it casually, not interested in this matter at all. To him, this was just a small episode. His purpose was to make money. Now that he has made money, as for the background of that person and the story behind it, he himself Don't want to know.

Mayor Qiu noticed that he was not interested in this matter, so he stopped talking, holding a wine glass and asked: "I wonder when Brother Ye will leave?"

"It suddenly occurred to me that there was one more thing to do, and it might take a few days."

"Okay, before Brother Ye leaves, be sure to tell me that Qiu will see you off personally."

Ye Shaoyang almost sprayed his wine on his face, and said: "Send off, don't talk nonsense, we mages are most taboo about these words."

"Ah, practice, practice! Qiu made a slip of the tongue!" Mayor Qiu hurriedly apologized.

After drinking for three rounds, Ye Shaoyang remembered something and asked, "By the way, Mayor Qiu, is there anyone in the town who is going to die recently?"

Now it's Mayor Qiu's turn to spray wine. He stared at Ye Shaoyang for a while, and suddenly realized: "Brother Ye wants to do things for others. I said, that can't make much money. If Brother Ye has any difficulties, you can talk to him." I said."

Ye Shaoyang said: "I'm not here to make money, I have my reasons, this is really not a good way to put it, the key point is that you don't understand it."

Mayor Qiu nodded repeatedly, didn't ask any more questions, and said, "I don't know what kind of dead man Brother Ye is looking for?"

Ye Shaoyang said: "I'm not looking for the dead, I'm looking for the dying, and the dead are useless."

Mayor Qiu was stunned for a moment, and said, "Then it's really hard to find this one—only after the person is dead, the case will be reported to the official to close the case, and it's hard for others to know about the dying."

This Ye Shaoyang had already thought of it, the Republic of China was not like his own time, Western medicine had not yet been popularized here, and there was no hospital in this small town, and it was really difficult to know if people died or not.

Cuiyun interjected at this time: "What are you looking for for someone who is about to die?"

Before Ye Shaoyang could speak, she answered again: "Lao Song next door to my house has tuberculosis and hasn't gotten out of bed for several months. Is it okay to live now?"

Ye Shaoyang said: "When will I die?"

"This... I heard from Old Song's wife that it will take about two months."

Ye Shaoyang smiled wryly: "That's not acceptable, I can't wait that long."

Cuiyun lost her mind for a moment.

Mayor Qiu thought for a while and said: "Brother Ye, I have a solution. There is an old doctor in our town. If you have any illnesses in the town, you can ask him. Maybe you can ask him if there is anyone who is seriously ill and dying recently. "

Cuiyun immediately agreed.

So after the meal, Mayor Qiu personally brought Ye Shaoyang and two people to the town, and found the medical clinic where the doctor was sitting. The doctor was surnamed Han, and he was almost eighty years old, but he was not stupid. He was treating people When he heard that the mayor was coming, he immediately drove away the patients and asked his disciples to serve tea and water in a panic.

"It's okay for me to come to you. This is my brother. He came to ask you a question. Is there anyone in our town who is going to die recently? The kind who will die within three to five days."

Dr. Han was stunned on the spot when he heard this, and looked at Ye Shaoyang, wondering what he was doing, but he held back, thought carefully and said: "Zhao Si from Wangcun has a bloated belly and a bulging belly. It's like a ball, and it probably won't last for a few days."

Mayor Qiu said, "How many days?"

Doctor Han looked helpless, "My lord, I'm just a doctor. It's not easy to calculate that the other party's life expectancy is very short. I'm not sure when he will die..."

Mayor Qiu thought about it, and turned his head to look at Ye Shaoyang.

Ye Shaoyang asked Dr. Han: "Is there anyone who is seriously ill and dying?"

Dr. Han thought for a while and said: "There are a few seriously ill, and most of them can stop for a while, but Zhao Si has already run out of fuel and is just delaying the day."

Mayor Qiu asked Ye Shaoyang: "Brother Ye, what do you think?"

"That's it." Ye Shaoyang thanked Dr. Han, asked where Zhao Si's family lived, and left Dr. Han's clinic.

"Brother Ye, do you want me to send someone to live in his house and tell you when he dies?" Mayor Qiu asked.

"It's too late when you die." Ye Shaoyang thought for a while, and felt that this matter is quite troublesome. It's not easy for him to live in other people's homes. When people ask you what you are doing here, they say that when your family dies, they are afraid that Zhao Si If he didn't die, he was beaten to death first.

But I have to keep an eye on it, otherwise I will rush over when the person is really dead, it will be too late.

Ye Shaoyang thought about it, but there was really no good way. Later, Mayor Qiu looked at the address of Zhao Si's house, and remembered that he had a subordinate who lived not far from him. He asked Ye Shaoyang if he wanted to live in his subordinate's house. It's easy to observe up close.

Ye Shaoyang also felt that this was the only way. So mayor Qiu took them back first, and then called the subordinate named Xiao Chen to briefly explain the situation. Although Xiao Chen didn't know Ye Shaoyang's purpose, he had the mayor's order, and the key was to have the opportunity to please the mayor. , of course he fully agreed.

Ye Shaoyang thanked Mayor Qiu, and left with Cuiyun and Xiao Chen.

Ye Shaoyang asked Xiao Chen to go back first, tell his family members, and go back to Cuiyun to clean up.

After parting, Ye Shaoyang and Cuiyun walked home together. On the way, Cuiyun couldn't help it. When asked why Ye Shaoyang did this, Ye Shaoyang hesitated for a while, feeling that he would not be able to explain clearly for a while, and agreed to leave after this matter was over. Tell her everything before.

Back at Cuiyun's house, Ye Shaoyang packed up some of his belongings casually, because he couldn't find the place, Cuiyu took him to look for it together, all the way to the village where Xiao Chen's family lived, and saw Xiao Chen waiting in a tree at the entrance of the village. under the tree. Seeing Ye Shaoyang, Xiao Chen immediately ran over and said anxiously: "Mr. Ye, I just went to inquire about it, and Zhao Si is dying, so I came here and waited for you!" ()
