Mysterious city

"Village Chief Li, I would like to ask, don't the people in your village have the habit of raising dogs?"

"I didn't hear a dog bark, which is a bit strange."

After entering the room and sitting down, Jiang Zhe pondered for a moment and asked.

He didn't know if this was due to some custom.

Although Li Village is located in a relatively remote area, the size of the village is not small.

The decoration and equipment of every household are pretty good, and there are even a few small hotels that look very good in the village.

Moreover, the scenery here is quite beautiful, and the village is surrounded by winding rivers. Tourism income must also be an important part of their village's finances.

If you think dogs are noisy and want a quiet environment, it is normal not to keep dogs or other animals.

After hearing Jiang Zhe's question, Zhang Nan's eyes flashed with a look of approval.

With rich experience in handling cases, she had long realized that this was an anomaly. The reason why she hadn't brought it up yet was because she wanted to see if any of her new subordinates were insightful.

Since entering the village, Zhao Xin and Yang Ran have been looking around, their eyes full of curiosity.

These two young men had obviously grown up in the city and were very new to everything in the village.

But they were just looking, but not observing anything.

Li Jun was born in a rural area, so naturally he was not curious, but he did not put forward any constructive ideas. He just kept lamenting that "the village now is really much more developed than before."

This couldn't help but make Zhang Nan feel a little disappointed.

But she didn't expect that it was Jiang Zhe who raised this doubt. It seemed that this big boy who was not good at talking was actually a malleable talent.

After listening to Jiang Zhe's question, Village Chief Li was stunned at first, as if he didn't understand why he asked, and then a sad look appeared on his face again.

"Oh, how could you not raise a dog? Every household has a dog, and there are plenty of chickens, ducks, geese, fish and so on."

"It's just that since that incident happened, the animals in the village have been as if they were possessed by an evil spirit. They are listless and make no noise at all."

"We asked an expert to come over. The expert said that there was something dirty in the village, and the geese were suppressed. They didn't dare to bark."

When Jiang Zhe heard this, he immediately narrowed his eyes. He knew that these so-called dirty things were actually monsters.

Unlike most horror movies and TV shows, in many ghost movies, dogs bark because they see dirty things.

It's different in reality, monsters are real.

Animals' sense of danger is much stronger than that of humans. When they know that something scary is active in the village, they will naturally not dare to make a sound in order to hide themselves and seek safety.

Unless a monster appears in front of them and wants to kill them, they may struggle and roar.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to scream for no reason on weekdays. Isn't this just asking for death by letting those monsters discover them?

"Dirty things? Masters? Weird things? What happened?"

Zhao Xin and others were at a loss, unlike Jiang Zhe who saw the clues immediately.

And there was a look of fear on Yang Ran's cute little face. After all, in the cases she had handled in the past, such strange words rarely appeared.

"You don't know yet?"

A trace of surprise flashed in Village Chief Li's eyes, as if he didn't expect that the security team had come to the village and still knew nothing about the case.

"Village Chief Li, you don't know something. I haven't shown the case to everyone yet."

Zhang Nan smiled bitterly, this was something he had to do.

After all, this mission is different from the past. She has to wait until everyone is gathered together before announcing the case more reliably.

Otherwise, after seeing such a bizarre case, wouldn't these young people get into trouble if they spread it among their friends?

"Don't worry about this. We'll find a place to stay first, and then we'll discuss it with you after everyone understands the case in detail."

After listening to Zhang Nan's words, the expression on the village chief's face became calm again, but his eyes were still full of anxiety.

"Okay, Sheriff Zhang, please investigate this case as soon as possible. It's not like asking several Taoist priests to do it is useless. We can only rely on you!"

"If this strange incident is not solved, no tourists will dare to visit our village anymore. The economy of Li Village will be greatly affected, and the villagers will not dare to live a normal life!"

It is not difficult to see that Village Chief Li has a headache about this matter.

Of course Jiang Zhe knew what he was worried about. To ordinary people, monsters causing trouble were no different from ghosts, and it was something that science could not explain.

In such a tourist-rich village, the occurrence of such strange things will inevitably lead to a decrease in tourists.

As the head of a village, it is reasonable for Village Chief Li to feel anxious when he sees problems with the economic lifeline of the village.

What's more, the lives of his family and villagers are always in danger!

It's just that Jiang Zhe doesn't understand what kind of expert the village chief is looking for.

Anyway, judging from the results, this "expert" didn't play any role, and he was probably some charlatan.

And Constantine's reputation was ruined by these charlatans!

"Xiaolong, go quickly and arrange the best hotel in the village for Sheriff Zhang and others!"

"He is our life-saving straw, you must make good arrangements!"

Village Chief Li waved his hand tremblingly to a middle-aged man next to him. The man nodded respectfully and went to follow Village Chief Li's instructions.

“Village Chief Li, there’s no need to go to such trouble, we can just pay for it at our own expense!”

Zhang Nan said quickly, but the two middle-aged men had already taken them to the best hotel in the village to stay.

Seeing that they could not refuse, Zhang Nan and others had no choice but to be respectful rather than obey.

The economic development of Li Village is indeed good, which can be seen from the hotel arranged by the village chief for Zhang Nan and others.

The village chief originally wanted to arrange three rooms for Zhang Nan and others, but such hospitality made everyone feel embarrassed.

In desperation, the two girls Zhang Nan and Yang Ran had to share a room, and Jiang Zhe, Li Jun, and Zhao Xin shared a room.

When Zhao Xin saw that he was arranged to share a room with Jiang Zhe, there was a hint of displeasure on his face, but he couldn't say anything.

Although the name of this hotel is "Country Hotel" and it looks very down-to-earth, the built-in facilities and space are very extraordinary.

The village chief booked the biggest and best room for them. They said it was two rooms, but in fact each room was a suite.

There are two small rooms in the suite of Jiang Zhe and the others. The rooms are very clean and do not appear as dirty and messy as they imagined in a small hotel.
