The time will be exhausted.

Lu Renjie returned to the Demon Hunter's Yamen.

He carried a lantern in one hand, held the corpse on his shoulder with the other, supported his elbow sideways, and opened the heavy door that was slightly hidden, and found that there were still two lights on in the front hall, and a chubby blue-clothed boy of about thirteen or fourteen years old was sitting alone on a chair behind the green wood table in the center of the hall, shaking his head and drowsy.

This little fat man's name is Liu Jinlong, the only son of Liu Zhigang, the head of the local demon arrester Yamen, and in recent years, he has been following Liu Zhigang to practice martial arts, as well as learning how to deal with cases, Lu Renjie also learned from his father Lu Tianming in this way.

"Fat Golden Dragon! Why are you still sitting here? What about Uncle Gang? ”

Lu Renjie entered the hall, first put down the corpse on his shoulder gently, then stepped forward and stomped his feet, and asked suddenly, he knew that Liu Jinlong was still sitting in the front hall and dozing off, which meant that Liu Zhigang was still busy with errands.

The boy shook violently in fright, and instantly stood up from his chair, his eyes suddenly clear, and his sleepiness was gone.

“…… Brother Jie? You've drunk gunpowder! In the middle of the night, I was so shocked that I almost scared me out of pee! ”

The startled young man stared at Lu Renjie who was laughing heartily with a pale face, one hand kept patting his chest hard, and the other hand comforted his crotch at the same time.

"In the afternoon, two demon slaying guards suddenly came from the Xuanjing General Office, and I followed my father to accompany them around to handle cases, and the three of them are still discussing in the inner hall."

"Xuanjing Chief? Demon Slayer? What's the big case in the county? Provoked the Demon Slayer Guard? Lu Renjie asked in surprise that he had been patrolling the fixed area all day and did not know what was going on in the yamen.

"There is no other big case, not the case of the disappearance of the child a few days ago...... Hey? How can there be a man asleep on this earth? ”

The little fat man said, and suddenly found the corpse of the fox demon crawling on the ground behind Lu Renjie, and he immediately bent over curiously.

"It's a dead man, I just killed it."

Lu Renjie knew that Liu Jinlong's training was not enough, he was timid and afraid of corpses, and once there was a strange murder in the city, he would be deceived by the demon arresters in the yamen to frighten and tease, he said lightly, and at the same time deliberately turned sideways, revealing the entire corpse on the ground in front of Liu Jinlong.

"My mother! The master is most afraid of the dead! ”

The little fat man was really startled, and he shrank behind the chair in a panic like an electrocuted fat fish, covering his eyes with his hands and shouting timidly.

Lu Renjie laughed twice, stood back in front of the corpse to block it, and said,

"I'll cover it for you, you quickly tell me why the chief ya's demon slayer guard suddenly came to our county today to care about this case, if you don't make it clear, I'll put this corpse in front of you."

“…… Brother Jie, you wait, see if I am bold in the future, I will not retaliate and come back. ”

Behind the chair, Liu Jinlong carefully confirmed that Lu Renjie had really blocked the corpse from his chubby fingers, then he got up weakly, sat back on the chair and curled up in a ball, gritted his teeth and said a tough threat, and then had to honestly tell all the news he heard with his father today.

Lu Renjie listened quietly, and gradually figured out the cause and effect of the Demon Slayer's sudden attack today.

It turns out that the recent cases of children's mysterious disappearance not only broke out in a city in Moyang County, but also more than ten Kyoto affiliated county towns such as Yong'an County, Linshui County, and Wanping County within a radius of more than 100 miles near Xuanjing have reported a large number of cases.

And since the first case of disappearance, in just over 20 days, there have been more than 600 missing children!

At the feet of the Son of Heaven, how can such a large number of calamity cases occur frequently, and the current Holy Emperor Tianyun has personally inquired into the case in the early court today, and after discussing with the court officials, it was decided to outline the case as a performance assessment of the "bare-gus silver whip" in a month.

Silver Whip of the Red Gall......

Lu Renjie is no stranger to these four words, this whip can be said to be known to everyone in the Yamen of today's Great Departure Dynasty, he has often listened to his father and the Yamen officials since he was a child, it was set up by Emperor Gaozu more than 300 years ago, between the Criminal Department and the Yamen of the Demon Slaying Division, depending on the achievements of solving serious cases and important cases, a person belongs to each other every two years.

Those who wield the silver whip should be loyal to the country, and have the right to take charge of investigating and handling all cases in the DPRK and China at will, and have the right to enter and leave the Prime Minister's Mansion at will to interrogate and investigate and handle cases, and even in the case of an emergency in major cases, as long as they have conclusive evidence in hand, they can also use the power of arresting the emperor's relatives and princes and generals!

This whip is a huge symbol of the word "power" in the Great Departure Dynasty, and it is the supreme glory and authority for the two case-handling institutions of the Criminal Department and the Demon Slaying Division.

Emperor Gaozu's purpose in setting up this whip was precisely to stimulate the vitality of the competition between the Criminal Department and the Demon Slaying Division, and to clear the Haiyan River to the Dali Dynasty.

Since the establishment of the Silver Whip, there has been a fierce competition between the Criminal Department and the Demon Slayer Division, and each has its own control.

A year ago, Liu Jinglei, the head of the Demon Slaying Division, was in charge of this whip, and it stands to reason that it will take next summer to compete for the next whip, but just about a month ago, on the second day after the Lantern Festival, Liu Jinglei was found lying in an inconspicuous stinky ditch in Xuanjing City!

A dignified martial artist of the realm of killing gods, put into the rivers and lakes, it is a big shark that can set off a bloody storm at any time, even in Xuanjing City, where the dragon and the tiger are hidden, it is also a group of masters in the upper layer of the pyramid.

Not to mention that he has served as the master of the Demon Slaying Division for eight years, whether it is investigating cases or actual combat, his resume is outstanding, few people can match, but such an old Jianghu was quietly murdered like a wandering wild dog that no one noticed!

Moyang County is only a hundred miles away from the national capital Xuanjing, and it is adjacent to the Tianshui River, an important waterway connecting the two places.

He also had a heated discussion with his colleagues in the yamen about whether the murderer was a martial artist or a Taoist cultivator, or something else, but there was no news about the follow-up progress of the case, and everyone's discussion was not confirmed.

However, according to the two Demon Slayer Guards who came today in their conversation with Liu Zhigang, the Demon Slayer Division has subsequently gathered many top case-handling halls to jointly investigate the case for more than a month, but there has been no progress!

According to the rules set by Emperor Gaozu, the silver whip cannot be left without an owner for a long time, and within two months after the accidental death of the whipper, if the Demon Slayer Division can find out the cause of his death and bring the murderer to justice, the court that solved the case should inherit the whip until the end of two years, and if the cause of death of the whipper cannot be ascertained, it must re-compete with the Criminal Department according to the achievements of solving the case during these two months.

With only more than twenty days left before the deadline, and the Demon Slayer Division had found nothing, Emperor Tianyun naturally had to start paving the way for the second way to determine the ownership of the Red Gall Silver Whip.

The two demon slayers who came said that as soon as the news came out today, the Criminal Department was like a group of hungry dogs that smelled the smell of, and they had successively sent many good investigators to the places where the big cases occurred.

And because the Demon Slayer Division really couldn't lose this face, they were still concentrating on investigating the case of the cause of death of the Lord of the Liu Hall, and the heavy responsibility of competing for the child's disappearance case all fell on the shoulders of the people of their White Tiger Hall.

However, they rushed to our yamen in a hurry this afternoon, first went through the recent case files with my father many times, personally visited the victim's family, and carefully observed the scene of the crime in one household, but still found nothing. ”

Lu Renjie couldn't help but fall into deep thought after hearing these news, combined with the information he obtained from slaying the fox demon tonight.

First of all, the bare-gushing silver whip whip whip was strangely killed on the street, but the dignified demon slayer couldn't find out the clues, and then the child disappeared, and hundreds of crimes have been committed in just over 20 days, how can ordinary forces have the courage and ability to be so wild inside and outside Xuanjing?

The origin of this Blood Lotus Sect is by no means simple!

Lu Renjie couldn't help but guess at this moment that the death of the whip holder might also be his doing.

A few hundred children, a month's term......

Could it be that some big boss in this sect was seriously injured when he killed the whipper, and he needed to quickly collect hundreds of children to repair his injuries, so that the current child abduction case broke out?

After all, the word Blood Lotus sounds extremely evil, and it is not uncommon for someone in the sect to practice this kind of evil art of using children's blood to heal wounds......

Thinking of this, Lu Renjie only felt that his back was numb in horror......

On the chair next to him, Liu Jinlong's eyes turned strangely, glanced at Lu Renjie, who was stunned, and continued to add,

"They also said that the master of their hall was a drunkard and a violent maniac, and had a very bad temper, and that he had given them two strict orders when he set out today.

said that if you can find some clues that are useful for solving the case, record the merits and practice pills, these rewards are at your disposal,

But if the inspector can't come up with some clues, he will definitely beat the two of them up when he turns around, and then he will be demoted to a poor street patrol demon officer, and go to drink the cold wind and play with copper ropes.

So they were so scared that they didn't eat dinner, and now they are still discussing with my father how to solve the case in the future, which caused me to be involved for most of the day......"

Poor street patrol demon collector, drink cold wind, play with copper ropes......

While thinking about it, Lu Renjie suddenly felt that this sentence was a little piercing.

He suspected that the fat golden dragon was adulterating private goods, and deliberately added this sentence to mock himself, although this kid is often teased by everyone, but in fact, he has more bad intentions to play tricks on people, and even his own father was let go of a large handful of spider eggs in the tea cup, which is a rammer who grew up eating Baijiaquan.

But he didn't have the heart to educate the other party now, because another sentence caught his attention even more - find out the clues, merit and cultivation pills to choose at will......

Although this is a promise to the two Demon Slayer Guards, if he tries his best to perform well in this case in the future, leaving some more outstanding contributions that cannot be erased, even if he can't get a direct reward from the White Tiger Hall Master in the future, wouldn't it be easy to get a Heavenly Spirit Pill as soon as possible by taking a shortcut through the two Demon Slaying Guards?

After all, they are the demon slaying guards of the Xuanjing General Office, and this thing is not unusual to them!

At this point, Lu Renjie looked at the corpse of the fox demon on the ground behind him with a little excitement, and immediately turned back to Liu Jinlong and said,

"You kid, don't hurt me here, hurry up and report to Uncle Gang, I'm going to see them now!"
