Chapter 1440: Old Demon

Professional work must be done by professionals.

People on the shore curiously watched the old man retrieve the body. They didn't have to search hard, they just found the right location and dived to bring up the body, as if the old man could talk to the body.

The county paid for it and hired villagers to use rowing boats to drag the body ashore, and several gangsters were busy conducting autopsies.

The air was filled with the smell of corpses and he had no appetite to eat. Bai Yujun flipped through the records at random and saw many complicated runes drawn with a brush on several pages. The person who imitated them did not know how to practice and made many mistakes in the drawings.

Waving his hand, Duxian Cheng once again took a step towards the county captain at a very fast speed.

His flattering yet steady smile was kept very low, and he even used a fan to fan himself until he was shivering from exhaustion. His flattering tactics were beyond the reach of the county magistrate.

"Your Highness, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I will tell you everything I know."

"How do you know it was done by a high-level monk?"

"Oh~ His Highness asked a wonderful question. He saw the most critical issue at a glance, and I am convinced!"

"..."

Gao Xianwei couldn't stand it and simply turned his back on it.

Bai Yujun suddenly felt that this product was very pleasing to the eye, and look at it, it was just a boast, it looked rough, but it was back to nature.

Du Xiancheng turned to the previous pages of the record.

"The reason why I dare to conclude that this case is the work of powerful monks is that many nearby villagers saw people flying into the sky, which ordinary monks could not do. After inspection, they found that the corpses that were retrieved were all dead after their blood was drained before they were alive. It is extremely cruel. This is evil.

The devil's methods are most likely caused by evil people."

While talking, I looked at the princess's face and found that the little princess's face was as calm as usual, and she didn't feel afraid at all.

He raised his finger and pointed upstream and continued.

"The crime occurred on an island in the middle of the river less than a mile upstream."

He turned to the county captain and smiled.

"Next, Gao Xianwei will describe it. Gao Xianwei led his people to visit the island in person."

When you are in the officialdom, you need to know how to make a profit. Now that you have won favor in front of the princess, sharing some soup with your colleagues does not appear to be greedy for merit.

Gao County Lieutenant breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, it was better to have a chance to show his face than not.

The Prime Minister of Xuedu County bowed his head.

"Her Majesty the Princess, I have carefully analyzed the footprints and found that there are at least six people. Jiangxin Island is surrounded by water, making it difficult to trace the traces. There are spells carved on the rocks. The specific effect cannot be guessed by the officials. I am ashamed to say that the case involves spiritual practice.

Jiexiaguan is really unable to do what he wants."

Bai Yujun and they all knew that this case was the same as cases of missing children everywhere, and all the county officials could do was report it.

Lieutenant Gao Xian thought for a while.

"It is said that demonic beasts can transform into human forms after cultivating to a great level. Over the years, great demons have often appeared nearby. The demons are ferocious in nature and are also suspected of committing crimes."

"Is there a big monster nearby? What kind of monster and what level of cultivation is it?"

"This... the lower official is incompetent. Perhaps only the cultivation world knows the details of the big demon."

The county magistrate and the county captain smiled helplessly, and Bai Yujun didn't say anything. To the people, the county magistrate was a great master, but in the eyes of the monks, he was no different from a beggar. This was the reality.

Bai Yujun frowned, wondering whether the court officials were incompetent or complicit.

For several years, the problem has not been solved.

The other party's tactics are quite shrewd. They steal one or two from a town and travel around, which will not cause panic among the people and can keep the flow of water flowing.

Rubbing his forehead, there are too many loopholes in the squad garrison model. It will be better to force changes in a few years. However, the development speed of Shenting is too slow.

The work on the river surface is almost in progress.

The corpse fishermen are very efficient and can fish them out no matter where they are hidden, without any abnormalities.

Looking back at the sleepy Fat Tiger, this guy can indeed ward off evil spirits.

There were more and more corpses placed on the shore. After the coroners had inspected them, they sprinkled some kind of medicinal powder on them. Perhaps they were worried about being haunted by resentful spirits. Several cooperators went out of their way to stand next to Fat Hu. Their legs were unsteady and they refused to walk. It is believed that the power of the King of Beasts can be used to drive away bad spirits.

Suddenly, Fat Tiger stood up, stared in a certain direction and assumed an attacking posture, and let out a warning growl from his throat.

Bai Yujun, who was sitting on the chair, turned around and looked through the gap in the back of the chair.

"I have good news for you two."

The county magistrate and county lieutenant quickly lowered their heads and listened.

"Your Highness, please speak."

"The big demon you just mentioned is here. You can question him face to face."

"..."

The two of them felt a thump in their hearts, and reflexively looked at the princess' gaze. There was a vague figure in the crop field. A moment ago, it was still far away. In the blink of an eye, it was closer, and when they saw it, they had already appeared in front of the shack. The figure was white-haired, wearing brocade clothes and wearing a hand. The old lady stood in front of me.

Bai Yujun told Fat Hu not to worry.

The old lady wears quaint dark green clothes, made of precious brocade material, a double-breasted jacket and a horse-faced skirt, with exquisite auspicious patterns embroidered on the neckline, various expensive accessories, and a red thread tassel tied to her crutch. She has a kind smile and is full of kindness. momentum.

The old lady stared at Bai Yujun, not paying attention to the fat tiger with fried hair next to her.

"It turns out to be Her Royal Highness the Princess. I have always wanted to visit the Princess's mansion, but I didn't expect to meet here by the river."

The two county officials were panicked, but Bai Yujun still sat firmly.

He looked at the old lady seriously, but just one look made the old demon feel dazed. His body trembled slightly and he tried to stay calm, pretending that nothing had happened.

I wanted to take a closer look at the little girl, but I didn't dare. I felt that if I looked randomly, the consequences would be serious.

Bai Yujun swayed his legs out of boredom.

"Tell me, did you do this?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the county magistrate who was fanning him froze in his movements, and the county lieutenant secretly thought that he was miserable, and the two of them didn't know what to do.

Unexpectedly, the old lady didn't get angry, and had a kind face and a smile.

"This matter has nothing to do with Lao Shen. Although Lao Shen is not a good person, he would never do such an evil thing. I hope the court will not misunderstand."

Think about it and add something.

"I sensed a strange aura yesterday, and my cultivation level is very high. Maybe I haven't gone far yet. The imperial court can ask nearby sects to assist in the investigation."

"How high?"

"At least refine the soul into an infant."

Having said this, the old lady stared closely at Bai Yujun, but found that the little princess was not surprised at all. Either her expression was deeply hidden, or she really didn't care.

The two county magistrates pricked up their ears, eager to hear more news about the spiritual world.

"Thanks for letting me know the clues. You can go now."

"..."

Du Xian Cheng and Gao Xian Wei did not expect the princess to be so direct. The old demon opened his mouth and swallowed back the rest of his words.

Being humiliated but not daring to fall out rashly, he put away the kind smile on his face, his eyes rolled around, and decided to carefully investigate the details of the princess's house before he went back.

"I say goodbye."

After saying that, he turned around and left. In the blink of an eye, he was a hundred steps away, and his whereabouts were as erratic as when he came.

Fat Tiger shook his fur and lay down again, but the surrounding officers and people did not notice the old lady at all. The two immortal officials finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Bai Yujun leaned back on the chair with his hands on his hands, making it comfortable to sit like this.

The old lady is an old devil who doesn't want to get into trouble, and she doesn't forget to show off when she shows up.

The imperial court is riddled with holes. Those sects that are suppressed by the laws of the divine court are also unreliable. Unless their own interests are involved, they will not contribute at all. By the time they come to arrest people, they will probably run away.
