The middle-aged man with one eye patch walked out expressionlessly.
If there were really many cats in the inn, they would like to climb and leave some footprints on the windowsill, which was normal, so he didn't hold out much hope.
However, in order to save some face for my daughter, I decided to go to the inn to look at the footprints.
The right minister of the Ministry of Justice, the Taoist nun, and Zheng Yan'er followed him out, but Bai Yu was left at the end, as if no one was worried about him escaping.
This is also true.
As a civil servant of the third rank, the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment is surrounded by the shadows of peacocks, with great power and amazing strength.
The beautiful, young and beautiful Taoist nun, as the envoy sent by the Moon Altar, naturally has extraordinary cultivation.
The middle-aged man with the one-eyed patch and Zheng Yan'er are from the Demon Slayer Division. If they don't have the strength, how can they dare to slay demons? They must be pretty good at it.
Previously, the man with the one-eyed patch vigorously competed with the right minister of the Ministry of Justice for the "dominance" of the case, and we can get a glimpse of the situation. He is no weaker than the right minister.
Can a ninth-grade inspector escape from under their noses?
So, no one thought about this problem.
Bai Yu was also aware of the gap in strength. He did not dare to act rashly and could only bite the bullet and follow.
Get out of jail.
Several people did not ride horses and walked towards the inn. The Yamen was not far from the inn.
The vendors and footmen on the street looked sideways at this pedestrian in surprise.
It's okay if you're in Kyoto, officials can be seen everywhere.
But Linfu County is a remote area after all. It is rare for a third-rank official like the Right Minister of the Ministry of Justice to go shopping on foot, wearing a scarlet robe and surrounded by the shadow of a peacock.
Besides, there is also a beautiful young Taoist nun with the moonlight behind her, who is as holy as an immortal.
Several children closed their eyes and began to make wishes to the Taoist nun.
"Where are you going?"
Zheng Yan'er sensed that Bai Yu was walking in a different direction behind her, so she suddenly turned around and paid attention to him.
Does this little girl have eyes in her butt? You can see them all. Bai Yu pointed, "There is a bun shop over there. I want to buy some buns. Several adults have been investigating the case all morning. They must not have eaten yet."
?”
Fortunately, Bai Yu had made two preparations. If he was not discovered, he would sneak away quietly. If he was discovered, he would use the excuse of buying steamed buns.
Zheng Yan'er snorted coldly. She didn't appreciate the fact that this ninth-level inspector had caused her embarrassment, "We're not hungry!"
Don't forget it, I didn't plan to buy it in the first place, Bai Yu thought to himself.
The county magistrate half-bowed, with a humble smile on his face, "I will come back from the inn later, and I will serve as a host. I will invite you all to have lunch at Linjiang Tower. I hope you will appreciate it. Although Linfu County is located in
It’s remote, but it also has some special dishes. Linjiang Tower’s pine-striped fish is one of the best and worth tasting.”
Zheng Yan'er nodded slightly, "I'm determined."
Haha, woman, I don’t want the buns if I invite you to eat, but I don’t want them if I invite you to the restaurant... Bai Yu followed silently.
Arriving at the inn, the group went straight to the house where Bai Yu lived.
Bai Yu broke into cold sweat on his forehead and was so anxious that he wanted to turn around and run several times, but couldn't find a suitable opportunity.
His whole body was stiff and he could only pray that the middle-aged man with the one-eyed patch had "bad eyesight".
The sky is spirited, the earth is spirited.
Eyes that destroy delusion.
Malfunction!
Seeing the middle-aged man with one eye patch walking towards the window step by step, Bai Yu's heart was beating fast, as if he was getting closer and closer like a devil's pace.
"Where are the footprints?"
Looking carefully at the window sill, the middle-aged man with one eye patch was puzzled.
Zheng Yaner walked over quickly, and when she looked at the window sill, she was stunned.
Gone!
The footprints are gone!
"I clearly saw footprints before."
She stretched out her finger and wiped the window sill. She looked and saw that there was not even a trace of dust.
"The window sill has just been scrubbed, it's very suspicious!"
Her eyes lit up.
This is too coincidental.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
There may be an accomplice in this ninth grade inspection
There are even insiders among several people investigating the case.
The right minister of the Ministry of Justice? It’s unlikely.
Messenger of the Moon Altar? Impossible.
Linfu County Magistrate? This is possible!
Bai Yu was so happy that he almost jumped up.
Nice!
Nice!
If there are footprints, and the tiger monster is seen with the Eye of Deception, the evidence is conclusive, and he is finished. Now that there are no footprints, there is room for change.
"What's your explanation?"
Zheng Yaner asked.
Bai Yu thought for a while, "Maybe the inn proprietress cleaned the room?"
The old man was very kind to him... He didn't clean the rooms where the yamen servants lived, only the room where he lived...
Zheng Yaner asked the county magistrate to call the inn proprietress for questioning.
This question turned out to be that the hostess of the inn was cleaning the room. Zheng Yaner was speechless.
"You go down first."
She waved her hand tiredly.
"Okay." The proprietress of the inn asked specifically, "Do you want to have dinner at the inn?"
Still want to eat? I want to vomit blood! Zheng Yaner said dullly, "No need."
"Okay, okay, if you need anything, just call me."
The proprietress of the inn went downstairs happily. How can she be unhappy because she saved food?
The Right Assistant Minister of the Criminal Department, who was not dealing with the Demon Slayer Department, was happy to see such an embarrassing scene. He said coldly, "I can already see the Demon Slayer Department's case-handling ability. A farce can only be imagined by Mao'er's footprints."
The footprints of a tiger demon."
Zheng Yan'er didn't look good. The progress of the investigation was not going well. The right servant took the opportunity to ridicule her and got angry. She had no choice but to suffer.
Bai Yu didn't have a good impression of any of these people, but for now, the "position" of the Right Minister of Punishment was consistent with his interests. Of course, he was on the side of the Right Minister of Punishment for the time being.
He bowed to the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment in a very "dog-leg" manner, and said with tears of gratitude, "The Lord of the Demon Exterminator Department doubted the lower official, and the lower official felt anxious and uneasy. Fortunately, those who are clean will self-clean, and I thank you for upholding justice."
This miscellaneous official from the ninth rank inspection was quite polite. The right minister of the Ministry of Justice nodded slightly and said in a gentle voice, "Don't worry, you are also an official of the imperial court. How can you make false accusations at will? As long as I am here, no one can do anything to you."
.”
Bai Yu was grateful again, "I feel much more at ease, my official."
Zheng Yaner glanced at Bai Yu with cold eyes.
Although Bai Yu was happy, he didn't dare to be complacent to avoid leaking the truth. Instead, he increased his vigilance: the demon slayer is his lifelong enemy.
Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, the county magistrate asked cautiously, "It's getting late. Would you please come to Linjiang Tower for dinner first..."
The middle-aged man with one eye patch helped his daughter borrow the donkey from Poxia, "Let's eat first."
Zheng Yan'er said, "Father, the sixteen government officials in the inn haven't seen it with the eyes of Deliang yet."
The middle-aged man with one eye patch shook his head slightly, knowing that the possibility of finding clues was very slim, but he still asked the county magistrate to call sixteen government officials and take a look at it to make sure there was nothing wrong.
So, several people prepared to go to dinner with the county magistrate.
"You come too."
The right assistant minister of the Criminal Department glanced at Bai Yu. He had been "suppressed" by the Demon Exterminator since he arrived at the Yamen this morning. It was rare for him to feel proud and proud. He had a pretty good impression of this little inspector from the ninth rank.
"Thank you, sir."
Bai Yu couldn't refuse, so he followed behind.
When a group of people came out of the inn, they met Qianhu, a young man in uniform and guard, coming in a hurry.
"What did you find by searching the mountain?"
Zheng Yan'er asked. No clues were found here, and she was ridiculed by the right servant. She was a little unhappy and hoped to break through in another direction.
The young Jin Yiwei Qianhu smiled at her, "I was looking for you and found something!"
Sou Shan?......
Bai Yu felt like he was torn apart and his mentality was shattered.
Without thinking much at the time, I casually buried the official's body in the cave.
Now there's trouble again.
It’s like one wave after another. Can these people not be so serious in investigating the case?
How nice would it be if we all go to Goulan together, order a few beautiful ladies, sit down calmly, bring in a stove, set up a hot pot, drink some wine, eat vegetables, listen to music, and recite poems?
Why push him into a blind corner again and again!
There are so many poems in his mind that are about to be destroyed before he can put them into cups!
In his impression, weren't the investigations in ancient times all done casually?
These people are all as energetic as chicken blood, and they are full of energy.
