In the study, the soundproofing formation has been activated, and the room is quiet, so quiet that you can hear a needle clearly. Cheng Ziming sat behind his desk, his back to the bright crystal corrugated window, his face buried in the shadows, unable to see his expression.

The butler hedgehog and Chen Ping stood in front of the desk, standing with their heads bowed, waiting patiently.

After half a sound, Cheng Ziming sighed and said, "Chen Ping, you just said that after the incident, the demon guard has already investigated?"

Chen Ping bowed slightly and said, "Yes, the day after the kidnapping occurred, the demon guard sent two wolf demons to investigate the scene, received two medium-grade spirit stones from the victim, and left without saying anything." ”

It turned out that just three days ago, there was another appalling case of kidnapping a child in the demon capital. Lost were a seven-year-old twin brother and sister.

The father of the siblings is named Song Bao, and he is a deputy treasurer of the Sixiang Pavilion. On the day of the accident, he happened to forget the key to the treasure room at home, and on the way home to get the key, he suddenly found a strange man holding his twin brother and sister walking quickly into a remote alley, he hurriedly followed, but found that the man and the children were all gone.

When I went home to look for my children, I found that the ban in the house was intact, except for the twin siblings who were playing in the yard.

Song Bao hurriedly found all his relatives and friends, and searched the entire eastern district of the demon capital over and over again, but there was still no trace of the lost child. He decided that the child must have been kidnapped, so he reported the case to the demon guard, but the demon guard only came to shake around the day after the crime, and after he scammed two medium-grade spirit stones, he didn't care about it completely.

In addition, from time to time, there will be cases of missing children in the demon capital, and this matter has become the last straw that crushes the camel, and there has been a lot of discussion for a while, and it has become the hottest news after the Treasure Pavilion changed hands.

Such a big thing happened, and the hedgehog naturally wanted to investigate and report to Cheng Ziming. And the reason why Chen Ping was also called for questioning was because after the kidnapping case, the elders of the Eastern District issued a conscription order to levy a thousand high-grade spirit stones from the Treasure Pavilion to strengthen the security of the Eastern District, and Chen Ping was the person in charge of mobilizing funds.

The Presbyterian Church, the de facto administrator of the Eastern District, is a small group of four Infant Friars. Because the Eastern District is an area inhabited by human immortal cultivators, the chaotic management level of the demon clan often causes public anger, so the Demon Emperor only needs to find four highly respected Yuan Infant Stage Immortal Cultivators to assist in the Eastern District, and the policy of governing people with people in real time is real-time.

These four Yuanying Cultivators directly obeyed the orders of the Demon Emperor, and their status in the Demon Capital was similar to that of the Wood Demon King and other big demons, and they were easy not to do anything about ordinary trivial matters, but this kind of big case that threatened the stability of the Eastern Region must definitely be investigated and handled by the Council of Elders personally.

And the investigation of the case, naturally, requires funds, and this cost falls on the heads of the merchants in the eastern district. As one of the top three shops on Yipin Street, Jumbo Pavilion naturally has to pluck its feathers, and it is inevitable that it will take the lead in producing a large amount of spirit stones.

However, the cost of a thousand high-grade spirit stones is too much. What's more, if this money is given out, it will definitely be a waste. Cheng Ziming didn't believe that with the help of the four Yuan Infant Monks of the Council of Elders, he could successfully rescue the twin siblings. If the Council of Elders had governed the Eastern Side too peacefully, there would have been no kidnapping of children in broad daylight.

Cheng Ziming was thinking about how to get rid of this money......

At this time, Chen Ping said again: "I heard that there was a similar case of losing a child in the Eastern District before, and the child's parents and elders also reported the case to the demon guard, but in addition to being asked to take away the corresponding case handling funds, it did not help much to solve the case." ”

Speaking of this, Chen Ping glanced at the hedgehog with his eyes. He really wanted to complain more about the demon guard, but the hedgehog is also a demon clan, if he talks too seriously, will he offend the big butler?

Unexpectedly, the hedgehog felt extremely keen, and immediately guessed Chen Ping's thoughts, and the hedgehog took the lead and said: "Young master, the demon wolf guard has never only collected money and not done things, and the security of the demon capital has always been bad, which is related to the inaction of these grandsons." I am afraid that the demon guard cannot be counted on to crack the case. ”

"Hmm. Cheng Ziming nodded and said, "Not only the demon guards, I'm afraid even the Council of Elders can't count on them either." ”

He pondered for a moment and said, "Chen Ping, the thousand spirit stones that the elders want, you drag them first, don't give them to them." ”

"Yes. Chen Ping bowed slightly, and then said cautiously: "The Council of Elders is the actual manager of the Eastern District, and it has great power, and the villain tries his best to deal with them, but I'm afraid it won't be delayed for much time." ”

"Don't be afraid. Cheng Ziming smiled slightly and said, "In a few days, the kidnapping case will naturally be solved, and at that time, the Council of Elders will have no excuse to requisition these thousand spirit stones." ”

The hedgehog and Chen Ping were taken aback, and the one person and the demon did not say anything very tacitly, but just peeked at Cheng Ziming.

Obviously, they couldn't figure out the meaning of Cheng Ziming's words, and they didn't understand where Cheng Ziming's confidence came from, so they were sure that the kidnapping case could be solved in a few days.

Cheng Ziming saw the hedgehog and Chen Ping's doubts, and explained: "You are all my confidants, so naturally I can directly explain to you that I have found an important clue to the kidnapping of the child, and I believe that if you follow this clue, you will soon be able to find the murderer behind the scenes." ”

Immediately, Cheng Ziming recounted the causes and consequences of the purification workshop, and naturally omitted the process of the ginseng doll's seizure.

Later, he added: "At present, the only way to rescue the twin siblings is to seal up the purification workshop, and then torture the evil cultivator boss to make him confess all his accomplices. This matter must be done quickly, otherwise it will be too late, and the twins may be retained by the evil cultivators. ”

Cheng Ziming groaned slightly, and then said: "Fortunately, refining tools is not easy, and there is usually a lot of preparation work. Although it was delayed for two days, it should still be in time. Chen Ping, you go and contact Song Bao now, and ask him to go to the Council of Elders as a bitter lord and send someone to seal up the Purifier Workshop. At the same time, Ade and I went to the front of the black shop to keep an eye on us, and when we got together, we arrested the evil cultivator boss together. ”

So, the plan was set. Chen Ping immediately set off to contact Song Bao, while Cheng Ziming took the hedgehog and went to the front of the purifier workshop to keep an eye on him.

In the purifier workshop, the door is deserted, and there is no change from the appearance of Cheng Ziming a few days ago. Cheng Ziming and the hedgehog hid in the alley diagonally opposite him, pretending to be chatting Taoist friends, and coldly observing the movements of the shop.

"Ade, can you hear the voice of the store?" Cheng Ziming asked the hedgehog quietly while holding the sign of the black store from a distance.

The hedgehog was silent for a moment, and said: "I vaguely heard the voice of a person speaking, what did he say, chicken thief, after eating chicken legs, you have to wash your hands and touch the magic weapon, why don't you have a long memory." That's about it. ”

Cheng Ziming said "um" and nodded. The weasel's name is a chicken thief, and the one who cares so much about the maintenance of magic weapons is naturally the skinny shopkeeper. It seems that this person, a demon, and two black-hearted evil cultivators are in the store, so it will be easy to do.

After more than an hour, a large group of immortal cultivators suddenly came to the distance of the street, looking dressed as the guys from Sixiangfang, and the one who walked in the forefront led the way was Chen Ping, who went to contact Song Bao.

"People are coming. Cheng Ziming's hanging heart was instantly put down, the demon capital strictly forbade fighting, unless there was a warrant from the Council of Elders, he had no right to rush to the store to arrest people. And the four-elephant grid guy is menacing, apparently with the permission of the presbyterian council. He came out of the alley and said, "Go, go over and meet them." ”

"Oh no, it's too late. The hedgehog suddenly screamed and rushed in the direction of the purifier workshop.

Cheng Ziming chuckled in his heart, but he also reacted immediately, surpassed the hedgehog in a few steps, and rushed towards the black shop.
