Chapter 23 A little panic! Only 98% of the cases are solved!
Li Zhengjing didn't care about the grievances between Guigu Lingguan and the indifferent young man, but he was very concerned about Guigu Lingguan's guidance.
The wall-hanging bird was frightened and fainted. It has not yet woken up, and Li Zhengjing has not brought it back.
I guess with Venerable Baixiao's kindness there, the bird hanging on the wall will not become a dead bird.
After leaving "Lingguantang", Li Zhengjing couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
The Guigu Spiritual Officer is unfathomable, and is so fierce and bloody, with an evil and depressing atmosphere everywhere. It is no wonder that the young man named Fan Kaihu has become so twisted.
"The case half a month ago?"
Li Zhengjing returned to the residence prepared for him by the government, and placed the Five Elements Tree on the ground, allowing it to absorb nutrients from the soil and water.
When it was getting dark, he took the initiative to go to the Yamen and retrieve the recent files.
The bookkeeper I saw yesterday has not come yet, but the person guarding the files is a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old named Lu Xiaoxuan.
"Immortal, please wait a moment. I will bring in the files right now." The young man bowed and saluted and said.
"Wu Captou, who was killed by evil spirits, is your adoptive father?" Li Zhengjing vaguely remembered that this young man's name was on the list.
"Exactly." Lu Xiaoxuan responded respectfully and whispered: "The younger one is not a disciple of the Immortal Sect, but with the help of his adoptive father, he was able to serve in the government and has reported it to the sect. In two years, the five-year period will expire.
.”
Within the boundaries of the Xianzong's jurisdiction, local governments can submit lists of names. A minor official like him, who has served for five years, can be equivalent to five years of servants within the mountain gate.
After five years, you will be qualified to participate in the Immortal Sect's outer sect assessment.
"Captain Wu has laid the foundation for you. It shouldn't be difficult to enter the outer gate in two years," Li Zhengjing said.
"Chengxian has long auspicious words!"
Lu Xiaoxuan bowed and saluted, but his mood was quite complicated.
It will take another two years before you are eligible to participate in the outer sect disciple assessment, and you may not be able to successfully enter the outer sect.
However, the man in front of me is no more than two years older than me, but he is already an inner disciple of the Immortal Sect. In terms of status, he is even higher than his late adoptive father!
"found it."
Li Zhengjing looked at the files from half a month ago. There were seven cases on that day, involving extortion, non-payment of debts, theft, etc., and one of them even involved a murder case.
"That case was filed by a villain." Lu Xiaoxuan whispered: "A couple from out of town claimed to be looking for relatives, but they couldn't find the distant relatives, so they said they were planning to settle here and do some business.
!Actually, the two of them were thieves who came here. In the name of business, they targeted a family, robbed that night, and were beaten to death on the spot!"
"Oh?" Li Zhengjing raised his eyebrows and said, "This case was handled by your adoptive father?"
"Exactly." Lu Xiaoxuan responded.
"The name of the owner of the house that was stolen was Cai Yue?" Li Zhengjing took the file from last night, checked it out, and said calmly: "Is this Cai Yue the one who was killed by the evil spirit in the first place?"
"Yes." Lu Xiaoxuan responded.
"Okay." Li Zhengjing spread the file on the table, checked it out, and said slowly: "After Cai Yue died, two minor officials went to investigate the case, but they were also killed by evil spirits! And these two minor officials
It was also half a month ago that I followed your adoptive father to investigate a thief case."
"This..." Lu Xiaoxuan was shocked and said, "Do you think that evil spirit killed someone because of the case half a month ago?"
"Maybe it's just a coincidence." Li Zhengjing said: "And your foster father also died at the hands of evil spirits! Four people related to the "thief" case that day were killed, and three more..."
"Three of them are not here." Lu Xiaoxuan said: "One went to the office of Qixing Mansion to report to the governor! The other one went to Xianzong to report the news! The other one was ordered to go to the neighboring county to invite the 'Inner Qi' realm
Commander Zhou, assist in the investigation!"
"You haven't come back yet?" Li Zhengjing asked.
"Zhang Yu, who went to Xianzong to report the news, and Zhang Chao, who went to Qixing Mansion to report the news, came back last night and returned home respectively." Lu Xiaoxuan said.
"Let them come over." Li Zhengjing ordered.
"No!"
At this moment, a voice came from outside: "They can't come."
Li Zhengjing turned around and saw four people walking in from outside the Yamen.
The person on the far side is the bookkeeper Li Zhengjing met last night.
The remaining three people, two men and one woman, were all dressed in white and had silver tokens hanging around their waists. They were all disciples of the Immortal Sect.
These three people were the inner disciples who took over the case after him and came all night long?
"It came so quickly. It seems that the sixty meritorious service is really exciting." Li Zhengjing thought to himself.
"The yamen officer who was patrolling at night just sent news." The clerk bowed and saluted, and said: "Zhang Yu and Zhang Chao both died last night and were drained of their blood..."
"Huh?" Li Zhengjing's eyes narrowed, but he was somewhat expected.
"We originally thought that this evil cultivator was just blind, practicing evil skills in the realm of our Immortal Sect, sucking blood, and improving his cultivation." At this time, an inner disciple said: "But I heard Junior Brother Li mention it earlier.
These two, I think he didn't kill people randomly."
"It seems that Junior Brother Li has found clues and figured out the direction of the evil cultivator's crime."
Another inner disciple looked arrogant and said calmly: "Then let's talk about it."
Li Zhengjing glanced at his waist badge.
Chen Bing?
Is he an ordinary disciple with the surname Chen? Or is he from the Chen family of Chen Youyu?
With this thought in mind, he was unwilling to expend his inner energy to confirm this guy's identity, so he just said lightly: "Why?"
"Arrogant!"
Chen Bing had an angry look on his face and shouted: "You can only enter the inner gate by half a moon, so you should call me Senior Brother! I ask you a question, do you dare not answer it?"
Li Zhengjing put his hand on the handle of the knife and said with a smile: "Don't accept it? Are you going to chop me?"
Chen Bing was furious, but the disciple named "Zhou Mo" next to him stretched out his hand to stop him, and then looked at Li Zhengjing.
"Junior Brother Li, I'm afraid this demon's ability is not low. He dares to commit crimes on the territory of our Yuhuaxian Sect, and he is even more confident."
Zhou Mo said slowly: "We are not here to snatch these sixty meritorious deeds, but to save your life! You have been here for half a month, and your inner energy has just been formed, so you are definitely no match for him!"
Li Zhengjing was about to continue speaking when he heard the young woman beside him speak slowly.
"I also have clues that I can exchange with you."
The young woman was carrying a wooden box on her back. She unloaded the wooden box, then looked at Li Zhengjing, then glanced at the other two people, and continued: "This matter involves evil spirits, and it also involves the lives and wealth of the local people! We, the disciples of the Immortal Sect, should know our priorities.
, don’t be angry.”
She had beautiful features, a tall figure, and a cold tone. She said aloud: "As for the merits of slaying demons, they should be divided according to their merits and rewards! But that is what happened after slaying the demons, and should not be discussed at this moment..."
She opened the wooden box, and then a black eagle flew from the sky and landed on the wooden box. It was very powerful.
She lightly snapped her fingers, and suddenly a white wolf, as big as a calf, ran out of the door, its energy and blood surging.
Immediately she looked at the three of them and said: "I just learned that the two minor officials were killed. I have asked them to investigate separately."
Li Zhengjing looked at the black eagle and the white wolf and thought to himself: "They are both monsters with awakened Qi and blood, comparable to the inner Qi realm! Is this woman an inner disciple of the Beast Control Hall?"
Immediately he looked at the token again and saw the three characters He Qingyu engraved on it.
"The information previously listed by the Official Office was wrong. The evil cultivator is stronger than expected!"
"Based on the residual aura, it can be inferred that the opponent's cultivation level is above the middle level of Inner Qi, at least the sixth level of Inner Qi, and even reaches the seventh level!"
"The weapon he used should be the cold iron hook."
"And the footprints are very light, so he must be flexible."
He Qingyu said aloud: "Among the four of us, the one with the highest cultivation level is Senior Brother Chen Bing. He is at the seventh level of inner energy, so he may not be superior to the other!"
Chen Bing showed disdain and said proudly: "Let's take a high look at him and recognize him as an upper-level inner-qi cultivator! At the same level, with the teachings of the Immortal Sect, Chen is fully confident that he can defeat the opponent!
"
After finishing speaking, he glanced at Li Zhengjing, full of ridicule, and said: "Junior Brother Li, on the other hand, is afraid that he will be beaten to death if he meets him, and he still wants to get these sixty points of merit?"
Li Zhengjing ignored it and just asked He Qingyu: "Can you find out the location of this evil cultivator?"
He Qingyu shook his head slightly and said: "The evil aura is extremely confusing, and it is difficult for my white wolf to track it."
Li Zhengjing was not surprised either. He glanced at the two prostitutes, then looked at He Qingyu and said, "Let me take a step to speak."
"What do you mean?"
Chen Bing was immediately furious, and Zhou Mo also looked ugly.
Li Zhengjing walked straight to the edge and informed He Qingyu of the clues he had just found.
"So, after this evil cultivator committed the crime, he still did not escape. Perhaps he stayed here for revenge?" He Qingyu frowned slightly.
"Exactly." Li Zhengjing said aloud: "Three petty officials were sent to deliver the message and they escaped! The evil cultivator could find out where they lived, but they didn't know where they were going. Maybe they were three
People send messages in different directions, so the evil cultivators can only wait here for their return!"
"What kind of deep hatred makes him willing to take great risks and continue to stay here?"
He Qingyu was full of confusion and spoke in a low voice.
Li Zhengjing knew a thing or two from "Fan Kaihu", but it was not suitable to tell him. He only said: "The only person involved in the 'thief' case is the little official who went to the neighboring county to invite 'Zhou Commander'!"
He Qingyu said solemnly: "I have met Commander Zhou. He was originally an inner disciple. After he was over sixty, he applied to be an outer disciple, but was sent out without permission! Commander Zhou is very capable. If that's the case,
The minor officials should be safe if they follow him, but the evil cultivators may not dare to take action in front of Commander Zhou..."
Li Zhengjing said: "But the evil cultivator may not know the internal arrangements of the government!"
He Qingyu suddenly became enlightened and suddenly said: "So do you think the evil cultivators don't know the existence of Commander Zhou and will continue to stare at this little official's residence and wait for him to return?"
After she finished speaking, she hesitated a little, and then said: "This evil cultivator is very capable. Except for Senior Brother Chen Bing, we may not be able to defeat him! This matter..."
Li Zhengjing spread his hands and said, "I'm just exchanging information with you! Other things have nothing to do with me!"
He Qingyu thanked him, and then said: "If the evil cultivators are not captured for a day, the people's lives and property will be threatened, and they will feel uneasy! This information is very important, I can't hide it from those two senior brothers..."
Li Zhengjing didn't speak, because when he knew that the evil cultivator had "flexible body skills", he was no longer confident in capturing the opponent.
It’s down to 98%!
He was willing to tell He Qingyu the clues he found to avoid evil cultivators escaping and harming the people.
And he also knew that He Qingyu would definitely inform the two prostitutes, but he didn't care. Now everyone knew the same information, and in the end who could capture and kill the evil cultivator and get sixty meritorious deeds.
Just rely on your ability!
With this in mind, he looked at Chen Bing and Zhou Mo, looked at them carefully, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It can be confirmed that the abilities of these two people are inferior to that damn trash Chen Youyu!
