[On the second day of the third month of the seventy-first year of the Great Qiankang Yuan, before the time, in the thousand-household office of the Anping Division of the North Anping Division of Tsing Yi]

At this moment, Nangong Buyu and Xu Ke were sitting in the official room, Nangong Bu was holding the tea cup in his hand, and was listening to Xu Ke slowly tell the story of his accompaniment to Zhao Wang Li Yi to Chang'an County Ya to investigate the case.

It turned out that Xu Ke and Cheng Wanli followed Li Yi to the Chang'an County Yahou, and immediately went straight into the inner hall, where the injured young man from the south of the city was lying on a small couch to recuperate. Xu Keguan looked at the young man's expression, but he was not seriously injured, thinking that it was because of taking the great tonic medicine, and his face was gradually ruddy.

The young man was lying on the bed and closed his eyes to recuperate, but suddenly saw a group of people striding into the inner hall, and he couldn't help but be shocked, and then woke up with his eyes open. The commander of Chang'an County hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Wanqiu Mountain, Lord Zhao has come to see you, you will reply honestly!"

The young man called "Wanqiu Mountain" had probably heard of the prestige of Zhao Wangye, and he didn't care about his injuries at this time, so he was eager to get up and salute Zhao Wang, but Li Yi helped him slowly leaning on the edge of the bed, and said warmly: "Don't worry, just lie down and reply!"

"Your name is 'Wanqiu Mountain'?" Li Yi asked with a smile.

That Wan Qiushan nodded hurriedly and replied: "The villain is!" His right shoulder was gently supported by Li Yi's left hand, and he suddenly felt a warm breath slowly coming from the palm of the other party's hand, this warm breath was long and long, and from the two acupuncture points on the right side of the "shoulder well" and "giant bone" slowly entered his body, he suddenly felt that his whole body was extremely comfortable, and the original feeling of exhaustion was immediately swept away.

"How are you feeling right now?" Li Yi asked again.

Wan Qiushan hurriedly replied: "The villain feels much more comfortable, thank you Wangye! Thank you Wangye!" Although he didn't know martial arts, he saw that the Zhao Wangye in front of him just gently helped him, so that he immediately didn't feel tired, and he knew that the other party must have used some spells to treat him, so he was grateful in his heart.

Li Yi let go of Wan Qiushan's right shoulder, pulled a stool and sat down at random, and asked in a friendly manner: "Wan Qiushan, the woman you met the night before yesterday, what did she look like, do you remember? Why did you faint on the side of the road, what happened in the middle, can you tell this king?"

As soon as he remembered the scene the night before yesterday, Wan Qiushan blushed for no reason, he thought for a moment, and finally twisted Nini and said:

"Back to the prince, the villain went to the city the day before yesterday to visit his relatives, because the relatives must force me to have dinner before leaving, because it was already dark when I left the city. When I walked to a wooded area in the southern suburbs at night, I suddenly saw a ...... A woman came up to me, she waved at me, and I was confused, so I walked slowly towards her, and then I ...... I'll just ......" When it comes to this, Wan Qiushan is already red-faced and can't say any more.

"Then how did you faint later, what did the woman do to you?" Xu Ke, who was standing behind, couldn't help but ask.

At this time, among the several people in the room who investigated the case, Li Yi, Cheng Wanli, and Zhou Beiju were all adult men, and they were silent about the matter that the young man was reluctant to mention again, so he naturally knew it, and Xu Ke next to him was untouched, after all, he heard Wan Qiushan's words flickering, and he suddenly felt puzzled in his heart, and then blurted out and asked.

Wan Qiushan was helpless, so he had to reply shyly: "Back to this official, I will ...... later." Later, I was fascinated by the woman...... She held me in her arms and kept ...... Keep talking about how handsome I look, how good-looking I am!...... Touching me, pinching and pinching, stroking everywhere, and ...... Then she took off my clothes and laid me on the grass, and she ...... herself She took off her clothes herself...... And then it rode to my ......."

"Okay, okay!" Li Yi waved his hand and interrupted: "I don't need to elaborate on this! This king will ask you, what does that woman look like, how is she dressed, and what did she say to you?"

Wan Qiushan looked up at the sky, as if he was recalling the events of that night, and as if he was carefully savoring the taste of that night's ecstasy, he thought for a while and replied:

"My lord, that woman looks about twenty years old, with long eyes, crooked eyebrows, a small nose, and a thin waist...... I don't seem to be wearing much......"

After a pause, Wan Qiushan asked rhetorically: "Lord Wang, the villain dares to ask, which young lady, is she ...... Is she really a youkai?"

Li Yi smiled: "If she is not a demon, how can you faint in the middle of the night and wake up in the morning to become like this?"

Wan Qiushan was still a little unconvinced: "But...... But this young lady looks like an ordinary person! Is there a monster who looks as good as her?"

Li Yi, along with Cheng Wanli and others, listened to the young man's words, and most of them laughed. Cheng Wanli touched a pair of his short beards and said with a smile: "I said this stupid brother, a woman from a good family in the world, who would appear in the dense forest in the suburbs in the middle of the night and take the initiative to give you a hug?

"But...... But ......" Wan Qiushan scratched his forehead, feeling a little suspicious in his heart.

"Akiyama, think about it again, what did she say about that woman, what characteristics did she have in her words and demeanor?" Li Yi asked softly again.

"What did she say......" Wan Qiushan recalled with his heart, and said slowly: "She seems to say, saying that I am good-looking, saying that I am handsome, and that 'I think I am so hard!' and saying, 'Come to my sister's arms'......"

"Is there nothing else besides these words?" Li Yi asked again.

"Like...... Nothing else......" the boy replied, scratching his forehead again, with a look of embarrassment.

"Okay, then you take care of your illness, and when you are well, Zhou Zhixian will send you a coil and send someone to escort you home." Li Yi sighed, knowing that the young man had already explained everything he knew, and it would be useless to ask any more questions, so he immediately got up and led everyone out of the room.

When Li Yi and his party were about to step out of the door, they didn't want to, and the young man Wan Qiushan suddenly shouted again: "Oh! I remember! Lord Wang, this young lady always speaks with a strong northern accent!"

Li Yi hurriedly turned around and walked to the side of the bed and asked, "It's a very strong northern accent, what kind of accent is that?"

Wan Qiushan said: "It doesn't seem to be the accent of our Qianguo people, it should be the accent of the Beidi Xiao Kingdom." My grandmother originally fled from Xiao State, and she stayed in Chang'an County for decades, but she still spoke with a strong hometown accent. What this young lady said that night was the same as what my grandmother said about our big officials. ”

"Interesting, interesting!" Li Yi nodded with a smile: "This woman is actually from the Xiao Kingdom in the North!

"And ......" Wan Qiushan then said: "That young lady, she ...... She did it with me...... When I'm doing that, when I'm happy, I always have a meow like a cat in my mouth, like a cat......

"Every time I'm happy, I have to make a 'meow' sound in my mouth, is there such a thing?" Xu Ke, who was following behind Li Yi, couldn't help but be curious when he heard what the young man said.

"Disease-free brother, it seems...... We met a cat demon!" Cheng Wanli next to him couldn't help but quip.

Li Yi frowned slightly, but he didn't have the intention of joking at this time, he waved his hand, signaling everyone not to discuss the case in front of the young man.

After Li Yi comforted the young man with a few gentle words, he then led everyone out of the room and left the inner hall of the county office.

After walking into the retreat room of Chang'an Zhixian, Li Yi sat in the center of the Taishi chair of Zhixian County, Cheng Wanli and Xu Ke sat on both sides, and Zhou Shouju personally brewed a few cups of "Dongting Spring" from southern Jiangsu for everyone.

Li Yi took a sip of the turquoise "Dongting Chun" tea and immediately asked, "What do you think of this case?"

As a result, everyone said a word, and then formed these unanimous opinions:

First, there is no doubt that the culprit in this case is indeed a demon;

Second, this demon will transform into a young woman every day, targeting young and strong men, and his means of committing the crime is to practice the art of harmony with men, through intercourse with men, absorb the essence in the other party's body, as for the purpose of this demon devouring essence, it should be for her cultivation and replenishment;

Third, when this demon "commits murder", every time the interest rushes up, he can't help but make a "meow" cry, according to this situation, this is most likely a cat demon;

Fourth, the official dialect spoken by this demon has a very strong accent of Xiao Guo in the north, according to which it can be inferred that either this demon grew up in Xiao Country since he was a child, or this demon has also lived in Xiao Country for a long time;

Fifth, according to what Cheng Wanli said, this demon is very likely to be a spy sent by Xiao Guo, with the intention of disturbing the security of the capital and creating panic.

Li Yi listened to it frequently, except for the fifth point, where he waved his hand to indicate that it was unlikely, the other four points this King of Zhao basically agreed.

When everyone was waiting to discuss how to deal with the next step, Zhou Shuju, the magistrate of Chang'an, gave his hand and asked: "His Royal Highness King Zhao, it is already two o'clock now, and it is time for lunch, His Royal Highness has been busy with General Cheng and Lord Xu for a morning, presumably he is already hungry in his belly, why don't you have a lunch in this county, what do you think?"

Cheng Wanli, the general manager of the forbidden army, heard that Zhou Zhixian was going to entertain lunch, so he immediately patted his chair and said: "Okay, good! I have eaten breakfast early today, and I have already sung the 'empty city plan' in my stomach." Your Highness, since Zhou Zhixian wants to invite us to dinner, we are very warm, why don't we bother Zhou Zhixian for lunch?"

After speaking, Cheng Wanli turned his head and said loudly to Zhou Chuan: "I said Zhou Zhixian, your lunch meal is easy to discuss, and the wine must be enough!"

"General Cheng rest assured, the wine must be enough, the wine must be enough! The lower official will call someone to fight for wine, and make a jar of our 'Fenyang drunk' in Chang'an City, at least ...... Ten years of Chen!" Zhou Shoulder gritted his teeth and blurted out his debut.

According to the current price of liquor in Chang'an City, the ten-year-old "Fenyang drunk" costs about two taels of silver and a catty, and a jar of thirty catties of Fenyang will cost him at least half a year's silver. However, at this time, he wanted to entertain the world-famous Zhao Wangye, and he had to let it go.

Zhou Beiju was about to go out to be busy with wine and food, Li Yi waved his hand to stop him, and smiled at Cheng Wanli:

"This king has long heard that Zhou Zhixian is a clean official, and there are only two breezes in his sleeves, where did he get the silver to entertain us? Today's weather is good, it is better to ...... This king is the east, please go to the Star Picking Tower!"

Hearing that King Zhao had a treat today, and the place to eat was still the famous Star Picking Tower in Chang'an, Cheng Wanli naturally applauded.

Li Yi was supposed to call together with the Chang'an Zhixian Zhou Shouju, and the four of them went to the Xinglou to eat together, but Zhou Zhixian waved his hand again and again, saying that he didn't dare to eat at the same table with King Zhao. Li Yi saw that the other party was so frightened, and in desperation, he had no choice but to follow Zhou Zhixian, he instructed Zhou Shouju to take care of Wan Qiushan until the young man recovered, and after that, he took Cheng Wanli and Xu Ke out of Chang'an County, and went straight to the star-picking tower in the city.

No, Li Yicai walked dozens of steps, as if he suddenly remembered something, and immediately stopped and said: "No! I can't eat this meal today!"
