Chapter 50: The official messenger came to the door
At this time, Qin Chuan regretted it a little.
If he had known this, even if he was tossed to death by the sword master, he would not have helped Wang De avenge him.
Who would have thought that a small bloody gang would involve a big demon in the Enlightened Realm behind it, and there is likely to be a mysterious force hidden in it.
Although he is not afraid of trouble, he also does not want to be involved in trouble for no reason.
And now it seems that this trouble is still a big trouble.
"By the way, apart from the surroundings of Blackwater City, are there children missing anywhere else?"
Qin Chuan suddenly remembered the child he had rescued in Jinling City, and he didn't know why, he had an intuition that Zao Wou-Ki's grandson might have been kidnapped by this mysterious force.
Ni Hongye shook his head and said, "I only investigated the case of Blackwater City, and the surrounding cities have not been inspected. ”
She had only recently checked this series of things, so she hadn't had time to think about it far away, but after Qin Chuan asked, she couldn't help but react.
"You mean, it's very likely that children will go missing anywhere else besides Blackwater?"
Qin Chuan nodded and said, "At the beginning, I took over a mission in Jinling City, and that mission was also the disappearance of children, and they were also taken away by monsters. ”
"According to the nature of the monster, there is no need to take the child away and eat it again, when I entered the monster cave, the child was fine, the monster did not intend to eat people, I was still strange at the time, these monsters have no grudge against others, and he doesn't eat children, so what to do with the children."
"Now it seems that the reason why those monsters kidnapped children should be the same as the Bloody Gang."
Hearing him say this, Ni Hongye's face couldn't help but become more and more solemn.
It's okay to lose a child in Blackwater City alone, but now this situation is likely to occur in Jinling City, so this matter is serious.
Because it is not an easy thing to be able to quietly take a child away in two cities or even many cities.
At first, she thought that the reason why the monster she was tracking could be unscrupulous around Blackwater City was because a high-ranking official in Blackwater City was helping it cover up, but now it seems that her guess is wrong.
"No, I have to tell Old Man Hong about this."
Ni Hongye suddenly stood up.
Judging from the evidence currently available, the energy possessed by this hidden force is too great for her to solve alone.
She even felt that if she wanted to find and dismantle this force, she couldn't do it with the power of a city alone, and she had to use the power of the imperial court.
"Xiao Chuanzi, you go with me and tell Old Man Hong what you just said again."
When she walked to the door, she turned her head and called Qin Chuan again.
In this regard, Qin Chuan would not refuse, "Okay, I'll go with you." ”
As he spoke, he also stood up, but before he could make a move, the door of the private room was pushed open from the outside, and then a dozen men dressed as officials squeezed in.
"Boy, you've made a mistake, come with us."
The first leader glanced around the room and fixed his eyes on Qin Chuan's body.
Facing the other party's majestic gaze, Qin Chuan subconsciously shrunk his neck, feeling as if he was facing a police uncle in his previous life.
Although you haven't done anything bad, when you are stared at by the police uncle, you can't help but feel weak.
At the same time, I quickly went through it in my heart, and I didn't break any laws recently.
But this is not a previous life after all, after Qin Chuan subconsciously reacted, he asked with a puzzled expression: "This official brother, are you mistaken, I am coming to Blackwater City for the first time today, and I have never been here before, but I haven't done anything." ”
Hearing this, the leader's eyes widened, and he took a scroll from his subordinates on the side, and then shook his arm.
"Is this the person in here you?"
Qin Chuan looked at the scroll in surprise, in the scroll, he was carrying a string of sugar gourds, surrounded by a group of little guys, and his palm was on the head of the little girl who insisted on giving him money.
"Hey, when was this drawn?"
Looking at this picture scroll, which was almost a reproduction of the scene, Qin Chuan couldn't help but ask strangely.
"It was painted by a street painter." The leader put away the scroll, looked at Qin Chuan again and asked, "It's you who painted here." ”
"It's me."
"That's right." The leader's eyes widened, and he said: "We have received a report that several girls have been lost in Blackwater City today, including the child in this painting, and according to eyewitnesses, you are a stranger who has seen the last face of this child, so we have reason to suspect that you abducted this child." ”
"What! You said Xinxin was abducted? ”
Xinxin's little girl left a deep impression on him, he was a little girl from the bottom of his heart, and when he heard that such a cute little girl was abducted, he suddenly rushed out of his body.
Qin Chuan, who had experienced several bloody times, coupled with the fact that he had just broken through the Foundation Building Realm, as soon as this evil aura came out, the officials, who were all ordinary people, suddenly felt a pressure fall on their bodies, and the leader who faced Qin Chuan's gaze felt like a small mountain pressing on his body.
"Oops! This person is a practitioner! ”
The leader's face changed greatly, because Qin Chuan was not from Blackwater City, they were in a hurry to solve the case, and they came to the door after getting clues, so they didn't know Qin Chuan's identity.
"Boss, what should I do?"
A deputy behind him asked.
The leader was silent for a moment, and pressed the palm of the knife on his waist to pull it out, but he didn't dare.
He was afraid that before he could draw his sword, they would all be killed.
As a member of the Yamen, he had seen the power of those cultivators, not to mention that he had a numerical advantage, but he was not the opponent of other cultivators at all.
But if he gave up, he was a little reluctant, and finally found a clue, he didn't want to give up just like that.
And at this moment, Ni Hongye, who was standing beside these officials, spoke.
"You're mistaken, he can't be a child trafficker."
Although she said this, the leader did not let down her vigilance, after all, in his opinion, since the woman next to her was with the suspect, there was also a suspect.
In addition, if a random person says that the suspect is not guilty, he will no longer pursue it, isn't that nonsense?
Seeing that he didn't listen to persuasion, Ni Hongye didn't bother to explain, and directly threw a token over.
"I am the deputy master of the Demon Slaying Division of Blackwater City, Ni Hongye, I can help him as a guarantor, he is definitely not a human trafficker, in addition, he is the sect master of a top ten sect, how can he be idle and have nothing to do to abduct and sell children."
Hearing this, the leader couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly picked up the token to check.
After a while, after confirming Ni Hongye's identity, he hurriedly returned the token with both hands.
"The little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, but he doesn't know that it is the master in front of him, a sin, a sin."
I have to say that this is also a discerning person, and he did not call Ni Hongye the deputy director, but directly called the master.
At first glance, he is a person who has read the world well.
For his careful thoughts, Ni Hongye just nodded.
"Okay, don't be an eyesore here, you go back and tell your superiors, don't worry about the case of the missing girl in the city today, and then I will take over the demon slaying division, you just need to hand over the clues you currently have to me."
Just now, she and Qin Chuan were still discussing the disappearance of children, and today there are children missing in the city, which is too coincidental.
The city is no better than the outside of the city, and it is absolutely impossible to leave no traces, and maybe this will become a breakthrough.
"Yes."
Naturally, the leader will not object, and he cannot object.
Because the imperial court has regulations, everything that involves demons will be under the jurisdiction of the Demon Slaying Division, although he doesn't know if this case involves demons, but since the deputy director of the Demon Slaying Division said that there is, then even if there is none, there is.
After speaking, he was about to leave with his companions, but was stopped by Qin Chuan.
"Wait."
Hearing this, his heart couldn't help but tighten, thinking that he had just collided with the other party, and the other party was going to retaliate, and he couldn't help but feel anxious for a while.
But who knows, when he turned around, he found that the terrible evil aura on the other party's body was gone, but there was still a gentle aura on his body.
"This official, I don't know if I can leave that picture scroll."
Although the painting scroll just now was not very good, he liked the pictures recorded on it very much, so he wanted to keep it for collection.
"I can't afford to be called that by a nobleman."
The leader first looked panicked, and then put the scroll on the table with a smile, "This scroll was originally one of the evidence, and it should indeed be handed over to the Demon Slayer Division." ”
Although he said this, Qin Chuan still arched his hand to him, "Thank you." ”
"Your Excellency is gracious."
The leader returned the salute and hurried away.
After waiting for only a few people to be left in the private room, Qin Chuan looked at Gongsun Keming and said, "Brother Gongsun, let's separate here, if you have time in the future, you must go to my Seven Star Sect to sit down, and I will sweep the couch to greet each other at that time." ”
Although Gongsun Keming had the intention to stay, he had no choice but to return to the sect to deal with the foundation of the fourth-order killing array.
"Brother Qin, I will definitely go to the Seven Star Sect, but we will definitely meet again before that."
Although what happened in Blackwater City was nothing to do with his Gongsun Keming, he felt that as a cultivator with justice in his heart, he had the responsibility and obligation to participate in it and contribute to the eradication of this dark force.
Therefore, he decided that after dealing with those formation bases, he would return immediately.
Qin Chuan could also guess some of Gongsun Keming's thoughts, so he just nodded, and then walked to Qingfeng's side again and took out two hundred taels of gold from the system space.
"Xiao Qingfeng, I, Qin Chuan, am a man of my word, I was just joking with you before, don't take it to heart, this is the gold promised to you, you can keep it and buy sugar gourds to eat."
After rubbing Qingfeng's little head twice, he left the private room with a smile, leaving only Qingfeng stunned.
"Little grandson, you have a very good appetite for me, you and I will meet again in the future."
Ni Hongye glanced at Gongsun Keming and left.
