Chapter 847: Chapter 837: Help Me

The car drove all the way out of the suburbs, passing by Daoist Manor, his elementary school, and the intersection leading to his and Li Zijun’s old home.

Soon, the group arrived at Pingshui Town in Nankou County. Less than 300 meters after turning onto the road to Qingshu Village, they saw police cars had set up a cordoned area.

’Screech~~’

As the car stopped, the four got out.

"Captain Zhao!" a police officer came over to salute and greeted.

Su Qing even noticed the two newcomers, He Wendong and Yu Mingyuan, were on duty.

"Brother Su, you’re here," He Wendong stepped forward and greeted in a low voice.

Old Lin nodded and led the group forward.

It was supposed to be a cordoned area, but inside it was empty; the bodies had already been transported back, leaving only some bloodstains on the ground and forensic experts and old detectives surveying the surroundings.

"What’s the situation now? Any clues?" Lin Chengcai asked.

The leading detective shook his head: "No progress. Because this is by the roadside, after the villagers found the body, many came to watch, making footprints impossible to track. No suspicious items were found at the scene, but it’s certain this is not the first crime scene. But I can’t figure out why the body was discarded here. Shouldn’t it be hidden in a more secluded place?"

This was indeed a question. Su Qing looked around and found that this was the village entrance by the highway, not remotely hidden, rather quite open.

[The killer intentionally disposed of the body here because it has a special meaning for him!]

Sure enough, as soon as he reached the scene, the narration immediately triggered.

"Hiss... this is troublesome, have the villagers’ interviews been arranged?" Lin Chengcai asked.

"Rest assured, our people are already on it. The person who found the body has also given a statement."

While the two were talking, Su Qing walked into the cordoned area, began observing the surroundings along the edges, and immediately drew the attention of the nearby police officers, who stopped him from approaching.

"Stop, don’t come any closer!"

Some of the people here were from nearby township police stations. Seeing someone not in police uniform approaching, they naturally stopped him.

"It’s fine, he’s our criminal investigation consultant!" Lin Chengcai explained, then asked:

"Little Su, did you find something?"

"I was thinking, why did the killer dispose of the body here? This is clearly not a good hiding place, unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless doing so has a special meaning for them, like, revenge!" Su Qing calmly spoke.

This directly enlightened Lin Chengcai. Clearly, this wasn’t the first crime scene, yet someone discarded the body by the roadside, which seemed abnormal.

"What you say is quite possible, but who would they want revenge on? It can’t be someone from Qingshu Village, right?"

"Maybe it is?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Qing heard the narration prompt in his mind, with only two words.

[Southeast]

Southeast? Upon hearing this, Su Qing looked towards the southeast but found nothing. In that direction, there was only a vast field of waist-high crops, lush and green.

But he never doubted the narration prompts, so he immediately walked slowly towards the southeast.

He looked at the ground, walking very slowly.

Seeing his actions, Lin Chengcai was puzzled, while Du Qiang directly followed him.

"Don’t worry, brother, I’m here with you!"

Hearing this, Su Qing couldn’t help but glance at him: "Actually, I could do without you!"

Du Qiang: ...

Old Lin and Li Zijun remained at the scene for investigation, while Su Qing followed the direction indicated by the narration. He quickly entered the field of crops.

Rustle, rustle

As he walked, the crops made sounds, startling a swarm of flying insects.

"Ah Qing, what are you looking for? What’s there to see here? You’ve already gone beyond the boundary," Du Qiang followed him and asked, somewhat puzzled.

"I’m just strolling. If you have nothing to do, go back."

"Ahem, I’m just asking!"

After walking another hundred meters or so, a well suddenly appeared in front of him. Not only that, but there were traces of burnt paper in front of the well, although it seemed to have been some time since.

Simultaneously, the narration prompt echoed in Su Qing’s mind once more.

[Here, sins were cleansed, dirt was witnessed, and an innocent soul was taken away, a soul too pure for this world to deserve.]

Upon hearing this, Su Qing immediately knew that the narration’s indication was right here.

Su Qing placed his hands on the edge of the well and looked down, seeing clear well water less than five meters below.

It seemed quite deep, and the well mouth was not small, approximately four meters in diameter, a typical irrigation well.

Almost every village in the countryside has such wells, and usually more than one, meant for watering crops when it doesn’t rain. Relying entirely on the weather is not feasible.

"What’s up, Ah Qing? You’re not supposed to look into wells, as the old saying goes, ’One does not enter the sprout, two do not look into the well,’" Du Qiang said nearby.

To this, Su Qing stood up and disdainfully spat: "If you’re not going to use your brain, donate it. Is it just for muscles?

This well, someone must have died here, and recently!"

"Someone died? Really? How do you know?"

"Didn’t see the traces of burnt paper? Where’s your brain? Are you really a detective? Go and ask Captain Lin and the others, ask about anything that happened at this well recently!"

"Why don’t we go back together then? I still have to protect..."

Before Du Qiang could finish, Su Qing kicked at him, but missed. Du Qiang, for all his faults, was pretty nimble.

"Fine, fine, I’ll go. Really, you and Sister Li are really a pair, always moving and hitting when words don’t suit you. It’s pathetic. If it weren’t for you helping me, I’d let you use both hands!"

Du Qiang left, mumbling and complaining.

Seeing him leave, Su Qing took a deep breath. He seemed to have a lead, but still had no idea who the other person was, or why they involved him.

Although he had the narration cheat, he never saw himself as a superhero, never thought about saving the world or rescuing people from disasters.

Just being able to live a prosperous life with the help of the narration was his limit, at most expressing his kindness within a limited scope.

Meanwhile, in the distance beyond the cordoned area, a pair of deep eyes was watching the crowd, or rather, watching Su Qing by the well.

"Su Qing, help me, help me. I don’t have much time left. One more kill. He must die, or I won’t be satisfied!"

The man clenched his fists tightly, muttering softly, full of anticipation and hatred in his eyes.

[When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you!]

The sudden prompt startled Su Qing, who then quickly scanned his surroundings. As if sensing something, he looked in one direction.

However, he saw nothing, only a gentle breeze adding a tinge of coolness to the summer, and the surrounding waist-high crops rustling, as if responding to something.

"Who could have died here? Do I know them? And who are you, anyway?" Su Qing murmured to himself.

Unable to understand, unable to guess, Su Qing decided to walk silently back.

"Hey Ah Qing, you were right. I just asked, and someone indeed drowned in that well, more than a month ago!"

As soon as he came out, Du Qiang excitedly said.

Hearing this, Su Qing was startled. As expected!
