Chapter 52
"Oops, hiss, this dead girl is getting heavier and heavier!"
In Hong Lie's public house, Hong Lie, who was slapped with a panda eye by his own nephew, was smearing the corners of his eyes with Tianyijiao's unique ointment, and while applying it, he still let out a few hissing pains from time to time in his mouth.
Being seen as his panda eyes is not too serious, but you must know that with his cultivation, even if he is smashed in the eye socket with a hammer by ordinary people, there may not be black green, but he has become like this now, which is enough to see how heavy Ni Hongye's attack is.
This is him, if he was a slightly weaker cultivator, he would have been smashed in the head by Ni Hongye's two fists.
"This dead girl, when the senior brother comes, see that I don't sue you for a black state, and dare to punch the senior uncle, it's really lawless."
As soon as he thought of the picture of being hammered on the ground by his own nephew, he couldn't help but feel a kind of resentment in his heart, but he didn't have any anger.
After all, the three of them are extremely fond of this only girl, and they can even be said to be doting, otherwise it would not have caused Ni Hongye's arrogant temperament.
Don't look at a few years ago, the sect leader senior brother matched the little girl's hair to the Seven Star Sect as a traitor, but in fact, it was just a decision made in anger, and he regretted it a few days after matching the little girl's hair, but for the sake of face, he couldn't change the order, and finally vented the depression in his heart to the Holy Son.
That is, the own son of the sect master's senior brother, the poor holy son was first almost disabled by Ni Hongye, and then before he could raise him for a few days, he was tossed by his own father.
Sometimes he felt a little sorry for the Son.
Buzz –
Just as Hong Lie fell into his memory, the shadow jade on his body suddenly shook.
"It's a reply to me."
Seeing this, Hong Lie hurriedly connected to the Shadow Jade, and then an old man with a haggard face appeared in front of him.
This person is the master of the Jiaodong County Demon Slaying Division, Yue Feihe.
The Daqian Dynasty adopted a county system, with the central government leading the counties, and then each county leading the cities in its county, and Heishui City was under the jurisdiction of Jiaodong County, so the old man in front of him was also his direct boss.
"Hong Lie, why are you in a hurry to find me?"
Yue Feihe, like Hong Lie, was sitting in his own public house at this time, but compared to Hong Lie's public house, the place where the former was located was a little darker.
"Senior Yue, the junior wants to ask when the net can be closed, if you don't hurry up, the junior may not be able to hold on." Hong Lie said with a wry smile.
Yue Feihe, like him, was from the top ten, so he didn't call the other party's master, but called his seniors.
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Yue Feihe, who was looking through the case file with his head down, couldn't help but raise his head, and this look couldn't help but startle him.
Is this still the suave and bookish Hong Lie?
Isn't this some unlucky guy who was blackpunched?
"Hong Lie, why did you become like this, could it be that there are monsters in the small Blackwater City that you can't help but do?"
He knew Hong Lie's strength very well, so when he saw Hong Lie's dark circles, he was immediately shocked.
Hong Lie shook his head with a wry smile and said, "The senior misunderstood, the injury on my face was not caused by a monster, but by my nephew." ”
Hearing him say this, Yue Feihe couldn't help but look strange, that little witch of the Tianyi Sect, he had also heard of it, but he never thought that that lawless little girl would dare to punch his uncle.
And the most strange thing is that this Hong Lie was beaten like this, and there was no anger on his face.
If this is left in their sect, they dare to punch their elders, but the crime of deceiving the teacher and destroying the ancestors will be abolished and cultivated or killed in public.
"I see."
Yue Feihe nodded, and then he didn't want to dwell on this matter, so he asked, "What did you say earlier that you couldn't hold on?" Could it be that something has happened to the layout of Blackwater City? ”
Hong Lie first shook his head, then nodded, and said: "Something is wrong, the seniors may not know, although my nephew is lawless, but he has a chivalrous heart, she originally took the task of the sect to investigate the pig demon, but with her in-depth investigation, she gradually discovered the hidden power behind the pig demon, and also learned about the disappearance of those children." ”
"Just now, my senior nephew was still shouting for the junior to mobilize the power of the Demon Slayer Division and go all out to track down the forces behind the pig demon, but I couldn't let it ruin our plan, so I directly refused."
Yue Feihe nodded, she also knew about Ni Hongye, the original task of investigating the pig demon was released before the establishment of the Demon Slaying Division, and for this task, the Tianyi Sect also lost several disciples, so this is why Ni Hongye was sent.
Although their plan had already been carried out, in order to ensure the concealment of the plan, they did not hastily cancel it, because it might arouse the suspicion of some people.
After all, a big demon who is a disaster party, said that if he doesn't chase it, he won't chase it, if there is nothing greasy in it, who will believe it.
Therefore, even though the pig demon was part of their plan, they did not stop Ni Hongye from investigating and tracking it.
Because the pig demon had always been cunning, and although Ni Hongye had the power but the experience, they were not worried that the latter would sabotage their plans.
On the contrary, the harder Ni Hongye tracked down, the more he could confuse those hidden forces, but now, he never thought that Ni Hongye would actually investigate the hidden forces behind the pig demon.
Yue Feihe pondered for a moment, looked at Hong Lie and said, "Can you think of a way to drop that senior nephew of yours back to the Tianyi Sect?" ”
They have been preparing for this plan for too long and have paid a lot, and now that they can completely close the net after a while, this is the time when it is the most important thing, and no potential risk can appear.
Wang Lie smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Senior, what kind of character my senior nephew is, you should have heard of it, not to mention my senior uncle, even my senior brother, who is a master, can't be persuaded." ”
Yue Feihe is purely asking this question, if he could transfer people back, he would have been transferred back a long time ago, and he still needs to find someone to discuss countermeasures?
Hearing this, Yue Feihe stroked his beard, frowned and pondered for a moment, and said: "Otherwise, if this is not possible, you will find a little trouble for your nephew and try to delay her, and I will urge them here again to see if they can complete the arrangement as soon as possible, and then close the net in advance." ”
When he met Ni Hongye, he had no choice, but the plan was almost completed, and it was not impossible to close the net in advance.
"Okay, I'll try to delay a bit here."
Hong Lie felt that this was the only way to go, and after nodding, he ended the shadow.
After hanging the jade back on his waist, he collapsed backwards, shrinking himself into a chair.
"I wish I could close the net soon, I can't wait to cut off the head of that dog."
He looked far-reaching, looking out the window at a high pavilion in the distance, which was where the city lord's mansion of Blackwater City was located.
......
Demon Slayer, in one room.
Qin Chuan and Ni Hongye were sitting behind the table, buried in a large pile of files.
These are not the files lost by today's children, but the files of various prisoners captured by the Yamen of Blackwater City over the years.
And the reason why he wanted to look through these files was completely Qin Chuan's idea.
Because, after receiving the clues about today's missing children transmitted by the Yamen, they found that those so-called clues were useless at all, let alone following these clues to find the murderer, it would be good not to mislead them.
And the two hundred demon slaying priests sent out were also unable to collect any useful clues.
At that time, after learning that these Si people had found nothing, Ni Hongye was immediately deflated, but Qin Chuan was the opposite, and instead thought that this was the best result.
Because, if you want to kidnap a few children in a crowded place like Blackwater City, if you are not a habitual offender, you will definitely not be able to do it.
And the cultivators of the Demon Slayer Division did not find the existence of demonic qi in the place where those children appeared last, which means that these habitual offenders are not monsters, but people.
And since it's human, it's easy to do.
It seems like looking for a needle in a haystack to find a veteran trafficker in a big city like Blackwater, but in fact, as long as you find a key breakthrough, you can easily find the whereabouts of these traffickers.
And this breakthrough is in the files of these prisoners.
Qin Chuan only needs to find a few traffickers from among them, and interrogate them to find the whereabouts of those people.
After all, there is a good saying, peers are enemies, and they are both traffickers, so they are naturally no strangers to each other.
"Found it!"
Ni Hongye, who was buried in the file, suddenly stood up with an excited face.
Seeing this, Qin Chuan hurriedly took the file in her hand and looked at it.
The prisoner's name is Zhang Xiaoer, a native of Heishui City, who was arrested early this year for abducting and trafficking children, and sentenced to 10 beheadings in early October.
"Let's go, let's go to the county jail!"
......
Not long after, the county government prison in Blackwater City ushered in three uninvited guests, the reason why there were three, in addition to Qin Chuan and Ni Hongye, there was also a demon slayer who was good at extorting confessions.
After all, if you want to make a death row prisoner speak obediently, you can't use some special means.
Under the leadership of the jailer, Qin Chuan and the three finally met Zhang Xiaoer in the depths of the prison.
"Zhang Xiaoer, are you a human trafficker?"
Qin Chuan stood in the cold and dim cell, his eyes looking directly at Zhang Xiaoer, who was already skinny.
Zhang Xiaoer raised his head, his eyes did not fluctuate, as if he hadn't heard his question, but just scanned the three of them back and forth with his gaze.
Just when the three of them thought he wouldn't speak, they heard him say: "I'm Zhang Xiaoer, but I'm not a human trafficker." ”
"Huh?"
Qin Chuan looked at the file in his hand with a suspicious expression, although the portrait on it was a little fatter than the person in front of him, but it was indeed a person.
"Although the yamen said that I was a human trafficker, I was wronged, do you believe it?"
