Chapter 26: Yesterday's Joy, Today's Funeral
Early morning.
Qin Mu pushed open the door in the morning light and yawned, both eyes were about to catch up with the big black.
I was tossed by Xiao Zhaoxue for a night last night, my back hurt, and it wasn't until the middle of the night that Qin Xiyao took Xiao Zhaoxue back to the room to sleep.
Qin Mu looked up at the position of the sun and calculated the time.
"I'm going, I'm going to be late."
Qin Mu came to his senses in an instant, and he didn't have time to eat breakfast, so he hurriedly put on his equipment, grabbed the back of Dahei's neck, and rushed to the Demon Town Division.
It wasn't until he ran out of the house that Da Hei opened his sleepy eyes, and what caught his eye was the street scene that was passing by quickly.
"I know that I am going to sleep, I am almost late, and I don't know how to get up early to wake up on the first day of work, you are more like a pig than a pig."
Hearing Qin Mu's insults, Da Hei couldn't care about his hungry stomach and started fighting with him.
If nothing else, there was an accident.
By the time Qin Mu and Da Hei were playing all the way and came to the door of the rebuilt Demon Division, it was already three poles in the morning.
In a small school field within the Demon Division, all the Tisi, including Han Mojing, were waiting for Qin Mu's arrival.
As for Xue Xingzhou and the others, they returned to Kyoto as early as the day the fire phoenix incident ended.
Qin Mu walked into the school with a bald head and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, my spirit beast has overslept and made everyone wait for a long time." ”
"Roaring ......"
Hearing this, the big black who was following Qin Mu suddenly bared his teeth and grinned, but under Qin Mu's threatening eyes, he had no choice but to shut up.
"It's okay, let's join the team." Han Mojing didn't dare to make things difficult for Qin Mu.
Qin Mu nodded, and walked to the end of the Black Iron Tisi queue, and it just so happened that next to him was Xu An, who went to the Qin Mansion yesterday to deliver a message.
After the morning training of painting flatbread, Qin Mu beat Hache and Xu An walked out of the Town Demon Division and went to the west of the city to handle the case.
Xu An said with a little respect: "This morning, all of our Black Iron Tisi have to thank Gongzi Qin. If it weren't for Gongzi Qin, it would be rare for us to see Lord Han all year round. ”
"What's so nice about a big man."
Xu An said with envy: "Lord Han is a Chijin Tisi, not to mention cultivation and talent. Even the merit value can be received 2,000 a month, and if I have so much merit value, I will wake up laughing in my dreams. ”
As soon as he heard the word merit, the corners of Qin Mu's mouth twitched, others work to make money, but he works to pay off debts, no, he sells himself.
Suddenly.
On the window of the attic on the side of the road ahead, there was a burst of warblers, and several scantily clad women were throwing winks at Qin Mu.
made Xu An, who was beside him, even more admired and envious of Qin Mu.
Qin Mu glanced up, although he didn't see the figure of the red sleeves, this attic was Yunyan Garden.
When the voice of the Qinglou woman's frivolous temptation gradually disappeared behind her.
Qin Mu seemed to ask casually: "By the way, has the case of the county lieutenant's son been resolved?" ”
"Nope." Xu An shook his head and said, "Although Gongzi Qin, because you enslaved the fire phoenix, you have eliminated the suspicion of collusion with the demon clan.
But because of that beast tooth, you are still the biggest suspect in the murder of the lieutenant's son, but no one dares to arrest you. ”
Xu An did not lie or compliment Qin Mu because of his status and prestige, but told the truth.
Qin Mu nodded and said solemnly: "That beast tooth of mine has another origin, although it is difficult to prove its innocence, but I believe that there will always be a chance." Moreover, the death of the lieutenant's son is most likely just the beginning. ”
Xu An's face froze, and he was suddenly a little afraid, just when he wanted to ask something more, he had already arrived at the destination of this trip.
The people living in the west of the city are all ordinary people, and their status is not high, and the few beast masters who are also talented and dull.
Therefore, in these people's families, they all hope that their heirs can awaken a talented beast spirit and get ahead from now on.
And this time, the deceased, named Zhao Yan, used to be a little famous in the west of the city, but because of an accident, the beast spirit was abolished, and his spirit seemed to have been hit hard, as if he had changed a person.
Qin Mu looked at Xu An and asked, "In other words, do you suspect that he committed suicide?" It has nothing to do with the demon clan? ”
Xu An nodded with a somewhat unnatural expression: "All cases in the county town must be reported to the Demon Division first, and after confirming that they have nothing to do with the Demon Clan, they will be transferred to the Imperial Beast Division."
And our Black Iron Tisi is mainly responsible for these, not only is it a waste of time, but also has few opportunities to come into contact with the real demon murder case. ”
Qin Mu nodded, but did not give up.
Pulling back the white cloth, the body of a young man appeared, his body not yet completely cold and stiff, apparently not dead for long.
The corpse's eyes were round, and there was a blood-red strangulation mark on its neck, but there was no painful expression on its face.
It seems like it's really just suicide.
But Qin Mu frowned, the blood-stained hemp rope hanging on the beam of the room was shaking in front of him, but there were no overturned chairs or anything under the hemp rope.
"After the deceased was found, did anyone sort it out at the scene?"
Although Xu An didn't know what Qin Mu meant, he still replied truthfully: "No." Zhao Yan's family died in the accident a few years ago.
If it weren't for someone holding a banquet in the west of the city this morning and sending someone to invite Zhao Yan, I'm afraid that no one would notice it until the corpse stinks. ”
Qin Mu's brows furrowed even tighter.
This step of hanging suicide is not right, the deceased does not need to find something to cushion before his death, just jump on it?
Qin Mu rubbed his eyes, and directly used the plug-in, a drop of blood on his fingertips dripped faintly into his eyes.
When I look at it again.
Wisps of black demonic qi appeared, but they were so thin that it was difficult to even condense into a wolf phantom.
If it was a little later, I am afraid that Qin Mu would not be able to see it even with blood.
Qin Mu flipped the corpse, his clothes were torn apart, but Zhao Yan had no obvious wounds all over his body.
There was only a faint red mark on the back of his neck, but it was a pity that Qin Mu didn't notice it.
And the demonic qi seems to have escaped directly from the inside of the deceased's body.
Xu An couldn't help but say: "Qin Gongzi, there is no sign of the demon clan committing crimes, let's just forget it." After handing over to the Beast Division, we still have a lot of places to run. ”
Qin Mu nodded, did not say the fact that there was demonic energy on the corpse, turned around and left with Xu An.
Suddenly.
Before they could get out of the west of the city, a burst of firecrackers sounded in the courtyard of the house not far away, followed by the sound of festive blessings.
In the courtyard, a middle-aged man who seemed to be the master's family immediately showed a surprised smile after seeing Qin Mu.
Although he was a little in awe because of the gap in identity, he still had the courage to step forward and say, "Master Qin, yesterday Xiao'er awakened a Yanyang-level beast spirit.
Today, I specially invited the neighbors to have a banquet to celebrate, and I was lucky enough to meet Qin Gongzi, can Qin Gongzi enjoy his face and drink a glass of wine, so that the child can touch your talent? ”
Qin Mu looked at this honest middle-aged man, because his son's talent was good, the pride on his face could not be eliminated.
smiled and said, "Okay, then I also wish Ling Lang a bright future." ”
The middle-aged man's smile immediately brightened a lot, forgetting the gap in identity, and directly pulled Qin Mu into the mansion to drink.
Qin Mu naturally didn't care.
After drinking the wine, Qin Mu and Xu An went to solve several cases, but none of them had anything to do with the demon clan.
However.
The next day, Qin Mu and Xu An came to the west of the city again, and the middle-aged man who was beaming yesterday was now wearing mourning clothes and looking desperate.
