Chapter 14: Three Doubts
It's getting light.
But today, the atmosphere in the city of Xin'an County is very oppressive, and few people are talking loudly on the streets.
Especially in the Demon Suppression Division, none of the Tisi dared to speak, and their faces were also worried.
Xue Xingzhou sat in a high position, his face was pale, and his breath was still a little unstable, obviously the battle with Huofeng last night had left him seriously injured.
Finally.
Han Mojing said cautiously: "Brother Xue, can't even you deal with this fire phoenix?" Why don't you report to Kyoto and let the deputy director send a few more people? ”
Syllable!
A teacup was pinched into powder, and Xue Xingzhou's complexion became particularly ugly, so that the few people below didn't even dare to come out.
Xue Xingzhou's tone had long since lost its former gentleness.
Said ruthlessly: "You don't have to worry about this matter, Jin Shanzhe is already on the way here, and this fire phoenix will definitely not be able to escape from the palm of my hand!" ”
Suddenly.
There was a rush of bells outside the Demon Division, and the bronze demon bells of several bronze Tisi also vibrated violently.
"Why is there an accident in this Xin'an County again?"
The bronze demon bell is not like the red gold demon bell, it has many wonderful uses, and it will generally only ring when someone reports the case to the town demon division.
And this case must be related to the demon clan!
In Qin's mansion, Qin Mu, who had just made up for sleep, also got the news, with a short sword on his waist, and with a big black, he quickly rushed to the county lieutenant's mansion.
Because.
The lieutenant's son was killed by the demon last night, but he still died in the room where the Demon Suppression Division took the Spirit Orb away.
Before he entered the mansion, he heard the cries of several women and the angry scolding of a middle-aged man.
Outside the door, there were already two Black Iron Tishi waiting, and no unrelated personnel were allowed to enter or leave.
But as soon as he saw that it was Qin Mu, he immediately made a respectful gesture, and he didn't dare to stop it.
Qin Mu ignored these flatterers, and understood that Xue Xingzhou was not to promote him, but to want his beast spirit talent and even his life.
However.
Just as Qin Mu's front feet stepped into the threshold, his body suddenly stopped, and he looked back at a dark alley in the distance.
There, there was a very ordinary back turning into the alley, because the distance was too far, Qin Mu's bloodline could not give an early warning.
But the eyes that were dripping with blood in advance saw a few thin wisps of demonic energy on that back.
Among them, there are two wisps, Qin Mu is particularly familiar, and one wisp is the black demonic qi that he saw in the sky above this county governor's mansion yesterday.
The other wisp is the pink demonic aura of red sleeves.
"Young Master Qin, what's wrong? Lady Snow is still waiting for you. ”
"Oh, nothing."
Qin Mu shook his head, didn't say anything about the existence of the back, and walked towards the mansion.
In the mansion, the white mourning flag had been hung, and in the mourning hall, the body of the lieutenant's son had not been placed in the coffin.
Xue Xingzhou and Han Mojing were standing in front of the two corpses, obviously it was just an ordinary demon clan murder, but it alarmed these two Chijin Tisi.
"Qin Mu, you came just in time, look, can you see any clues?"
Xue Xingzhou had already recovered to a gentle appearance, unable to see the injury, and said softly to Qin Mu.
Qin Mu also pretended to be decent, nodded, and seemed to really trust Xue Xingzhou.
And in the corner of his eye, Qin Mu found that there was an extra crack on the red gold token hanging from Xue Xingzhou's waist.
made him relax a little for Qin Xiyao's worries.
Qin Mu first looked at the corpse of the leopard, this leopard was the spirit beast of the county lieutenant's son, it had been a long time since he had broken through to the blood refining period, and the cultivation of the county lieutenant's son had already reached the consummation of the divine realm.
But there was not the slightest wound on the leopard's corpse, and it was obvious that the son of the lieutenant had died before he could resist the beast.
The blood oath of the beast master and the spirit beast determines that once the beast master dies, the spirit beast will also die.
But when the spirit beast dies, the beast master himself will only be greatly injured, and after finding a spirit beast again, there is still the possibility of full recovery.
Qin Mu turned his head to look at the corpse of the county lieutenant's son, with a frightened look on his face, and no blind eyes, these were acceptable.
But the blurred flesh and blood in the abdomen still made Qin Mu a little uncomfortable.
But Qin Mu still endured his nausea and observed it carefully.
The dantian of the corpse was directly pierced, and there were some claw marks around the wound, but it was impossible to distinguish which demon clan it belonged to.
However, Qin Mu had already prepared.
Really.
Through the blood-soaked eyes, the wound on the corpse's abdomen left a rich black demonic aura, and the demonic aura gradually condensed into the phantom of a vicious wolf.
Xue Xingzhou asked, "How is it, do you see anything?" ”
Qin Mu shook his head, his brows furrowed slightly, and he pretended to be very puzzled.
"Although after the death of the beast master, the beast spirit will gradually dissipate. But in this corpse, it is completely gone. This is the first doubt. ”
Qin Mu turned his head to look at Xue Xingzhou with a smile on his face and asked, "Is there a second doubt, or even a third?" ”
Xue Xingzhou nodded, and his smile was also a little arrogant.
"The second suspicion is this."
As he spoke, Xue Xingzhou opened the corpse's clenched fist, and in his fist he clutched a blood-stained beast tooth pendant.
As soon as the beast teeth appeared in front of Qin Mu's eyes, his expression changed slightly, but he was also very well hidden.
Because this beast tooth was exactly the same as the one Qin Mu found from the red sleeves.
"Although there is no demonic energy on this beast's teeth, it should belong to the murderer. But the son of this county lieutenant, he didn't even have time to resist the beast before his death, how could he take this beast tooth from the murderer? ”
Qin Mu's speculation made Xue Xingzhou very satisfied.
Xue Xingzhou concluded: "So, this is an acquaintance committing a crime. At least the identity of the human race on the face of the demon is very familiar to the son of the county lieutenant. ”
"That's not right." Qin Mu suddenly retorted, making Xue Xingzhou a little surprised.
"Something is wrong."
Han Mojing, who had never spoken, suddenly said, looking at Qin Mu's eyes full of disdain, but he was flattering Xue Xingzhou.
"Brother Xue is ranked seventh in Chijin Tisi, and his ability to solve cases is also first-class. You kid used to be a waste, do you still think that Brother Xue is wrong? ”
Qin Mu ignored it and continued to say without humility or arrogance: "If the murderer is the deceased, even the relatives and friends of the deceased are familiar with it.
What the deceased should have taken before his death should have been something else, at least so that relatives and friends could know at a glance who the murderer was, not this beast tooth that no one had ever seen. ”
As soon as the words ended, applause rang out.
Qin Mu turned his head a little embarrassed, seeing that Xue Xingzhou was applauding him and smiling despite the sad atmosphere around him.
And Han Mojing was like a dumb person, he didn't know what to say, but there was a faint admiration in his eyes.
"Very good, Qin Mu, you are very good, but."
The applause gradually subsided, Xue Xingzhou suddenly sighed, seemed to be very sorry, and said, "But do you know what this third suspicion is?" ”
Qin Mu frowned, and suddenly had some bad premonitions in his heart, shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”
Xue Xingzhou turned over his hand and took out a piece of fiery red feathers from the storage jade pendant on his waist.
"I fought with the Fire Phoenix last night, and the demonic energy left on the wound of the deceased was not that of the Fire Phoenix.
But why, did this feather of the fire phoenix appear in the deceased's room? ”
Qin Mu's heart froze, and he was still silent on the surface, only said: "I don't know." ”
However.
Xue Xingzhou took out another thing, which made everyone present shrink their eyes, and the county lieutenant and others even copied out the guy, wanting to make Qin Mu pay for his life!
