Chapter 28 Xiaozhu investigates the case, and Zhu An returns
Mirror guard yamen, in a small corner on the edge.
Li Xiaozhu recalled the past, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook slightly, and there was a faint light in his tired eyes.
For a moment, she seemed to be no longer a miserable scribe in the form of a case, but a high-spirited female swordsman in the rivers and lakes.
When the road is uneven, the flying sword takes the head.
At that time, she will be very strong and have a sword of her own, a real flying sword......
After reverie, look at the pocket wooden sword that has been with her for many years in her hand.
Li Xiaozhu once held on to his illusions and carefully studied it countless times.
Now she can be sure that there is no hidden mystery in the wooden sword, which her brother used for her to play with.
Think about it, that mysterious brother, although he is also a cultivator, but wandering around homeless, every day wearing a simple kudzu clothes, wearing a bamboo strip woven peasant hat, a depressed look, looking very poor.
Li Xiaozhu calculated that if he didn't get promoted to the official rank, he would have to save more than ten years of money to buy the most ordinary quality flying sword, and how could his poor brother give one out casually.
However, she still cherishes the pocket wooden sword in her hand, and cherishes the chance and wonderful encounter in her childhood.
"Li Xiaozhu, what are you doing here?"
Suddenly, the cold voice of the team sounded behind him.
"Look at the file, look at the file." Li Xiaozhu was excited, woke up from his memories in an instant, and quickly stuffed the pocket wooden sword back into his collar, pretending to flip through the book on the table.
When the footsteps behind her gradually disappeared, the little girl breathed a sigh of relief and sighed in her heart.
She can't do this errand for a day!
I really want to resign now, hang up the mirror, wander the world like my brother, and make the world my home.
However, Li Xiaozhu knew that his cultivation was too weak, and he was only in the second realm of Qi refining, and although he was already top-notch among his peers, it was not enough to face all kinds of dangers alone.
In addition, the identity of the mirror guard is an important guarantee, there is the iron-bottomed glass mirror hanging from the waist, even if many people want to fix her, they don't dare to do it directly.
The few Qi Condensing Pills distributed by the Jingwei Yamen every month were almost her only cultivation resources.
Therefore, I am afraid that this drudgery will take a while......
In the evening, Li Xiaozhu was already dizzy, handed over his shift, and went out of the back door weakly and went back to the mansion behind the yamen to rest.
The public mansion is a temporary dormitory for the mirror guards, but Li Xiaozhu directly regards it as his home.
Her parents had long since died, and her only relative, her aunt, had also passed away the year before last, and she didn't want to live alone in the old mansion, so she had already moved here.
The public mansion is close to the Jingwei Yamen and the City Lord's Mansion, and there are many formations inside, living here, safety is guaranteed, and the bullshit Deng Gongzi who has been coveting her does not dare to mess around.
As soon as he opened the door, a white shadow suddenly fell, startling Li Xiaozhu.
It turned out to be a note full of words, and I don't know who stuffed it into the crack of the door.
Pick it up and take a look.
"Kidnapping pregnant women, caesarean section to take the fetus, and use it to refine the blood baby pill ......"
After a few simple glances, Li Xiaozhu had already set off a stormy wave in his heart.
As a member of the public family, she has always been well-informed, and she remembered that in recent years, there have been cases of missing pregnant women, which have happened repeatedly, and once caused a storm in the city.
The trappers of the City Lord's Mansion have been looking for several years, but there are no clues at all.
Jing Wei also intervened in the investigation, but found no signs of cultivators involved, so he didn't put too much effort into it.
Now it seems that if what is written on the note is true, then there must be a group of heinous gangsters lurking in Nanyang City, and there are many cultivators among them!
Li Xiaozhu looked left and right, there was no one around, and he didn't know who gave the note.
The public residence here, exclusive to the Nanyang mirror guard, has always been guarded, outsiders are not allowed to enter, only occasionally there are mirror guards in and out.
But at the moment, he didn't care about this, Li Xiaozhu hurriedly returned to the Jingwei Yamen, and handed the note to the team leader who was still making a face.
"The note stuffed in your door?" The team snorted coldly, "Li Xiaozhu, if you can't finish sorting out the files, don't come up with tasks, it's useless to play these tricks." ”
"Only Jingwei can enter the public house, which colleague doesn't even want the credit for solving the case, and gives you such a valuable clue?"
"I-" Li Xiaozhu was speechless, stunned for a long time, and then replied weakly,
"Don't worry about me, you have to investigate again in a big case involving so many lives, right?"
The team was throwing the note to the corner of the table, "If there is really a reliable clue, I will naturally notify the City Lord's Mansion, and you don't need to worry about it." ”
“……”
Li Xiaozhu returned to his room and lay on the bed for a long time, not understanding what Team Zheng meant.
Is it to check, or not to check?
Looking like that, it seems a bit like she didn't plan to check, after all, because of Deng Gongzi, the team had already looked at her unpleasantly.
Li Xiaozhu struggled for a long time, and the tragic situation of the imagined caesarean section lingered in his mind.
"Hmph, I can't count on these people, I'll come by myself!"
"Whether it's true or not, I always have to take a look at it so that I can feel at ease."
She knew it was dangerous, but she wanted to go anyway.
Perhaps, the father and mother, who were also mirror guards back then, also thought the same way in the face of the crisis.
"You don't need to investigate deeply, you just need to find some solid evidence, and the team can't play stupid if they want to."
She jumped up from the bed and stretched her old waist, which had been sore and numb after a day of sitting.
Immediately, an invisible air flow appeared, covering the surface of the body, and lifting up all the clothes.
The Second Realm of Qi Refining - Protection.
The aura can be protected on the surface of the skin, like a layer of invisible armor, invulnerable, and invulnerable to fire and water.
The Qi Refiners of the Second Realm, although their combat power is average, their defense is still good, and they are more than enough for self-protection.
Li Xiaozhu took out the saber he had never used again, hung it on his waist, and looked in the mirror.
Even if the aura supports the clothes, I still feel quite thin, but wearing a black saber has a little more solemn aura, covering up the youthfulness of that little girl.
Li Xiaozhu was very satisfied.
Considering that Deng Gongzi might send someone to keep an eye on her, she decided to try disguise again, and then when it was darker, she quietly went out and went to the places mentioned in the note......
Diagonally opposite the Jingwei Yamen, in a restaurant, Zhu An sat by the window, raised a glass and drank alone, occasionally looking at the sunset outside the window.
"This little girl, life is quite hard."
Li Xiaozhu's situation, including the various pressures he faced, Zhu An was clear, but he did not intervene.
With some twists and turns in life, do you still have to count on him to help?
As for the little girl's cultivation, there is no problem.
After Zhu An met Li Xiaozhu back then, he deliberately stayed for a few more days, not only taking her into the door of qi refining, but also burying the spirit seed in her body.
When sensing the lack of spiritual energy in the meridians, the spirit seed will be automatically activated, quietly releasing the spiritual energy to make up for the shortfall, like a slow-release superlative elixir.
In this way, there is no need to worry about insufficient cultivation resources, which is also one of the reasons why Li Xiaozhu entered the realm quickly.
Therefore, Zhu An came to Nanyang this time, just to see if the little girl had changed.
The human heart is complex and the most fickle.
Especially in the face of difficulties and pressure, the dreams and persistence of the past will be like the stalactite mountain eroded by the wind and rain, gradually full of holes and fragile.
When he was young, Song Xiang, the king of Changling, guarded the frontier for a hundred years, fought countless bloody battles with the demon clan, and was repeatedly seriously injured and did not retreat, shocking all directions, how high-spirited.
But when I get old, my mentality gradually changes, and I will never return to the evil path.
Zhu An's practice of the way of refining the gods can see through most people's thoughts and memories at a glance.
However, the changes that have taken place in people's hearts over time are unpredictable and difficult to fathom, and I am afraid that only advanced divination can predict one or two.
Zhu An is not good at those, so he still uses a simpler and more direct method - come out from time to time to take a look around.
This time, he came and watched it too.
"It's still the same as before."
Zhu An happily raised his wine glass and saluted out of the window, as if he was greeting Li Xiaozhu on the other side of the public mansion.
Putting down the cup, spreading out his hand, the Nine Refining Blood Infant Pill lying in the palm of his hand trembled slightly, and then flew out of the window and disappeared without a trace......
The people related to the Nine Refining Blood Infant Pill can be divided into two groups, one group specializes in abducting and kidnapping pregnant women, and the other group is responsible for alchemy and sales.
The abduction and kidnapping criminals are mainly mortals, and the difficulty is lower, Zhu An sensed through the Blood Baby Pill, directly locked several locations, and handed over the clues to Li Xiaozhu, which was also a test for her.
As for the other group of alchemists, if they can get on the line with King Changling, they will definitely not be ordinary cultivators, so they have to be handed over to stronger people to deal with.
This matter is arranged.
Several diners sitting next to each other were also cultivators, but they didn't notice the evil Blood Infant Pill at all, and they were still pushing the cup and changing the lamp, talking loudly:
"I heard that the Black Eagle King and the Mountain Ape King suddenly started a war for some reason, and the two powerful demon kings faced each other, and the earth was shattered, and the sound shook for hundreds of miles, how terrifying!"
"Well played! It's better to be able to die together. "Some people gloat and applaud.
Someone else analyzed: "The territories of these two demon kings are close to the borders of our human race, and they have always been a great threat, but now they are starting to eat dogs, which is a good thing - maybe our king can intervene and have a sandpiper and clam to fight, and the fisherman will benefit!" ”
"Could it be fake news? These two demon kings are supposed to be in a group, right? How can they suddenly kill each other. There are also those who are skeptical.
"Yes, it may also be a bait to lure my Terran powerhouse to take the bait."
"The situation is confusing and unpredictable......"
Everyone sighed for a while, but they didn't know that the "mastermind" who created this situation sat quietly next to them.
When Zhu An heard this, his face was still as usual, but he remembered the panda pill in the mountains, and the little red fox Hongyun.
"I don't know how these two little guys are cultivating, whether they are lazy."
The ontology and the doppelganger share memories, but Zhu An, who is the incarnation of "Jiang Haike", is a little far away from Beishan, and can also be counted as an independent individual at this time.
In his opinion, the past few days have been quite lively, eating two meals of noodles, participating in a big birthday, and meeting a few old people.
But for a bamboo, it is enough to be lively once in a while, and the hustle and bustle of the world is not the destination.
Zhu An misses the tranquility in the mountains again.
"Go and go."
There was a breeze that began from nowhere, through the hollowed-out window lattice beside the table, drifting away, blending into the vast twilight, and I don't know where it will end.
The diners who were talking about it occasionally turned their heads.
"Hey, why are the people over there gone?"
"I don't know, I went downstairs just now, it's okay, continue to talk about our ......"
