Mu Nanjin looked up at the official who was talking to her.

The man was in his thirties, with a rough face and a short beard on his chin. He was glaring with anger and looked very disdainful.

【Who is he? Why do you look like you are looking for trouble? 】

[Could he be like the ministers in the court who dislike girls becoming officials, so he always dislikes me? 】

"I……"

Just as the official opened his mouth to speak, Liu Baihu interrupted him: "Supervisor, this person is..."

The gate supervisor introduced him: "This is Zheng Siya from our six gates. He was the first person to discover the mummy. He has been following up on this murder case, so I called him here too."

Liu Baihu said to Zheng Siya: "I have met Mr. Zheng."

Zheng Siya saluted him with a stinky face: "I have met Mr. Liu."

"Zheng Siya, Miss Mu is just here to help. You, a grown man, don't embarrass a little girl."

The gatekeeper warned him not to cause trouble with a warning in his eyes.

But Zheng Siya refused to accept this breath.

More than a month has passed since the first murder case. It took a lot of effort to get a clue, and I was 70% sure who did it. But the appearance of Mu Nanjin immediately negated all his efforts and hard work. , can he not be angry?

Putting aside the fact that he didn't believe that Mu Nanjin could tell who did it just by looking at it, it was particularly ridiculous that she said in her heart that it was not man-made.

【Zheng Siya? 】

[Oh, it turns out that he solved a lot of strange cases and was promoted from a rank-less yamen servant to a fifth-rank yamen official in just ten years. 】

[Well, that’s right. He has many achievements and has his own way of solving crimes. 】

Zheng Siya felt a little proud when he heard her praising him in his heart.

[It’s a pity that two wrongful cases were judged wrongly. It was clear that something was wrong at that time, but in order to preserve his reputation and official position, he did not investigate again, and people were wronged in vain. Nowadays, he has lost his previous enthusiasm for solving crimes and only knows how to pursue fame. 】

Zheng Siya was shocked in his heart.

When he vaguely realized that he might have solved the wrong case and arrested the wrong person, he did not investigate the matter again, nor did he mention it to anyone. How did Mu Nanjin know?

People from the six doors all looked at Zheng Siya in disbelief.

People who originally admired him were now extremely disappointed in him.

Zheng Siya was worried that everyone would believe her words, so she pretended to be angry: "You are so stupid..."

Immediately afterwards, the gatekeeper fixed his acupuncture points so that he could not move, and tapped his mute acupuncture points so that he could not speak.

The gatekeeper said coldly: "The deceased is the most important, Zheng Siya cannot disturb Master Du's rest."

"..."

Zheng Siya regretted it very much.

In the past, people had said that Mu Nanjin knew things that many people didn't know, but he didn't believe it.

Now that it's better, all his years of hard work will come to nothing.

No, he can't admit it.

And it may not be possible to find out that he caught the wrong person after so many years, so he has to take a gamble.

Zheng Siya was unwilling to be cut off from his official career by Mu Nanjin. He winked wildly at his deputy and motioned for him to tell him what they had investigated.

As long as the gate supervisor believes in what they are investigating, even if he is found to have been wrongly convicted in the case, he can still be punished and not only avoid being punished, but also keep his original official position.

The deputy was very embarrassed, but he still held his head and said, "Supervisor, I want to talk about what we found out before."

The gatekeeper nodded.

"The recent deceased were all sucked to death, and this method is exactly the same as several murder cases that occurred in Jiangnan two years ago. In order to confirm the truth, Mr. Zheng took us to Jiangnan Yamen overnight to check the matter. He also took the government servants from Jiangnan to the capital to check the condition of the mummy, and the result was that it was exactly the same as the deceased in Jiangnan back then."

The deputy took out a booklet and handed it to the gate supervisor: "This is what we investigated. Please take a look at it."

The gate supervisor took the book and read it.

The deputy continued: "At that time, Jiangnan's arresters believed that the evil sect was the work of the demon sect. After we verified, the leader of the demon sect did know a method of sucking human essence and blood. We also witnessed with our own eyes that people in the martial arts were killed by the demon sect. The leader sucked blood and turned into a human being."

After reading the contents of the excerpt, the gate supervisor said: "I also suspected that the leader of the Demon Cult killed the person, but from this point of view, it cannot be proven that he did it."

"Can……"

The deputy wanted to say something else, but then he heard Mu Nanjin's voice coming out again.

[The leader of the Demon Cult is so pitiful. He was misunderstood and killed even though he was not in the capital. 】

[Actually, you can’t blame others for thinking this way. He has always been labeled as a bad guy, and it is difficult for others to misunderstand him. Moreover, he never explains what he has done, so everyone just blames him. 】

[He is truly a scapegoat. 】

Everyone: "..."

The deputy gritted his teeth and said, "If it wasn't the leader of the Demon Cult, it might be someone else from the Demon Cult who did it."

[If it was someone else from the Demon Cult who did it, do you have any evidence? Just say it's a demon sect without any proof, is this how Six Gates investigates the case? 】

The deputy's face turned red and he was too embarrassed to look at the others.

The gate supervisor turned to Liu Baihu and asked, "Master Liu, can you tell from Master Du's body who did it?"

Liu Baihu: "..."

He has never seen the murder case file and has no experience in investigating cases. What problems can be seen from a corpse alone?

Liu Baihu threw the question to the other hundred households: "Did you see who did it?"

Three hundred households: "..."

Aren't they just going through the motions?

Why are you still asking them about the case?

Moreover, they had only glanced at Du Bianxiu's body, and they didn't even see his appearance clearly. How could they tell who had done it?

Liang Baihu coughed lightly: "We have just come into contact with the case and don't know the specific circumstances. It's impossible to know who did it just based on a corpse."

[Ask me, ask me, I know. 】

[Liu Baihu, you should ask me. 】

[If you don’t ask me, I’m leaving. 】

Liu Baihu looked at Mu Nanjin: "Mu Nanjin, you look like you have something to say to us. If you have something to say, just say it. It doesn't matter if you say it wrong. We won't deal with you."

[Hey, I have a cold face, how did Liu Baihu see that I had something to say? 】

Liu Baihu: "..."

[Have we worked together for a long time and have a tacit understanding? 】

I have a tacit understanding with you.

Liu Baihu rolled his eyes in his heart.

Mu Nanjin asked Mrs. Du: "Mrs. Du, can I prick Du Bianxiu's body with a needle? Just prick it lightly."

"Ah, this..." Mrs. Du looked at her son in embarrassment.

Mr. Du's face showed hesitation: "Is it just a prick?"

Mu Nanjin nodded.

The young master of the Du family felt angry when he thought about his father's tragic death but the murderer was still at large.

He gritted his teeth and nodded: "As long as the murderer is found without destroying my father's body, you can stab my father a few times."

Mu Nanjin said: "Find a needle."

Young Master Du ordered his servants to find a needle.

Liu Baihu was worried that Mu Nanjin was messing around, so he asked: "Mu Nanjin, what did you do with the body that was compiled by Zhadu? Did you test it for poison?"

Mu Nanjin said: "You will know later."

Liu Baihu: "..."

Soon, a servant of the Du family found an embroidery needle.

Mu Nanjin took over and said to everyone: "If the deceased was only sucked into a mummy by the warrior's skills, then his corpse will only be an ordinary mummy. If the deceased was sucked by other things, there will definitely be residue It’s something that’s hard for you to notice.”

The deputy knew that the other thing she was talking about was not a person, but still deliberately asked, "What is that other thing you are talking about?"

A trace of hesitation flashed in Mu Nanjin's eyes: "If I tell you, you may not believe it."

Liu Baihu said: "As long as you say it, we believe it."

He and the other three hundred households had spent a long time with Mu Nanjin and believed her words deeply, but it was difficult for others to say so.

The deputy said: "As long as you can find evidence that someone else did it, of course we will believe you."

The gate supervisor and others also meant the same thing. It was impossible to believe her one-sided words just because of her inner voice.

Mu Nanjin said: "Killing Du Bianxiu is a monster."

"Demon?"

Everyone looked at her with wide eyes in shock.

Aren’t these things only seen in books or heard from storytellers?

How can there be monsters in reality?

The deputy snorted: "Little girl, if you can't find out, you can't find out, and you still blame the monster. Aren't you ridiculous?"

People with six doors also find it ridiculous.

The door supervisor frowned: "Miss Mu, are you mistaken? How can there be monsters in this world?"

He began to doubt whether he was right or wrong in asking Mu Nanjin for help. After all, the other party was just a little girl, how could he investigate the case.

No matter how much she knew, it was impossible for her to investigate the murder case.

People from the other six doors also believe that there are no monsters in this world.

Mu Nanjin looked at the four hundred households. Although they were also shocked, they looked a little scared, and seemed to believe what she said.

[These people are so strange. Since they believe there are gods and Buddhas in this world, they go to the temple to offer incense on the first and fifteenth day of every month, but they don’t believe there are ghosts and monsters in this world? 】

[Since people are divided into good and evil, then there are gods and Buddhas in the world, and naturally there are demons and ghosts. Otherwise, do the existence of gods and Buddhas only exist to protect your health and make you rich? Since you don't believe there are monsters in the world, why do you go to the temple to buy exorcism charms on weekdays? What a bunch of contradictory idiots. 】

Everyone: "..."

[Forget it, they have never seen ghosts, so they can be forgiven for not believing that ghosts exist. 】

Liu Baihu felt unhappy when he saw that no one believed in Mu Nanjin: "Mu Nanjin, they don't believe you. You can prove it to them and convince them."

[As expected of Liu Baihu, you really understand my heart. 】

Liu Baihu: "..."

I hear your voice every day, and it’s hard not to understand you.

"Um."

Mu Nanjin raised the needle and gently inserted it into the head of Du Bianxiu's corpse.

Everyone gathered around curiously.

Liu Baihu and the other three Baihu hurried to the coffin in the distance and swallowed their saliva with a very frightened look.

The deputy sneered inwardly, pretending to be serious about it.

Mu Nanjin inserted the needle in and quickly took it out.

Immediately afterwards, a blue-black mist emerged from Bianxiu Du's head, and as it spread, the mist grew larger and larger.

When it was as big as a human, it slowly transformed into a human form.

"Zhizhizhi——"

Kuromist's laughter was terrifying.

"What, what is this?" Zhang Ya took a few steps back in fear.

Everyone else was dumbfounded.

"Ah - ah -" The black mist seemed to want to scare them, and suddenly shouted and rushed towards them, then dispersed and disappeared from everyone's eyes.

"Ahhhh-ghost-"

The timid people were either fainted or scared away, and some were so frightened that they fell to the ground. Zheng Siya, who had his acupuncture points fixed, was so frightened that he peed his pants, and the room suddenly became a mess.

The remaining people could only pretend to be calm for the sake of face.

Liu Baihu stretched out his trembling finger and pointed at the place where the black mist disappeared and asked: "What was that just now?"

Mu Nanjin explained: "That is the evil spirit remaining in Du Bianxiu's body. Some monsters like to play tricks on people, so they hide the evil spirit in the body of the deceased to scare people."

Dumen gradually came back to his senses: "Is there really a demon?"

Is this world really a monster?

If there really is a demon, how are they going to catch it?

"There are demons in this world, but not many."

[Except for the people in prison, I have only seen three monsters so far. One of them is right next to me, the other is not yet taking shape, and there are the monsters in front of me, but I can only see the monsters but no people. 】

In jail? What prison?

Everyone wanted to ask but couldn't. They were really anxious.

Liu Baihu thought of the six weirdos imprisoned under the Duwei Mansion.

Also, she said that one of the monsters is around, who is that?

Everyone hurriedly moved away from the people around them and looked at each other as if they were "you are a monster".

People who couldn't hear Mu Nanjin's thoughts looked confused.

Liang Baihu asked Liu Baihu in a low voice: "You are not a demon, are you?"

Liu Baihu rolled his eyes at him angrily: "You fart, if I were a demon, would you still be alive and standing in front of me now?"

"Then who is the monster?"

Four hundred households huddled together in fear.

Jiang Baihu said with a crying face: "If I had known there were monsters, I wouldn't have come."

Liu Baihu: "..."

This is what he wanted to say.

Mu Nanjin was confused: "The monster is not here, what are you afraid of?"

The people who could hear her voice looked sad and angry. You said there was a monster around, so of course they had to be careful.

They suddenly envied people who couldn't hear Mu Nanjin's thoughts.

Liu Baihu lied to her and said: "We, we are not afraid that the monster will suddenly come back to find us. We are just ordinary people and we can't deal with him."

The gatekeeper took a deep breath: "Miss Mu, I'm sorry for our distrust of you just now. We have never seen a monster before so we don't believe what you say. Please forgive me. Now I have two questions. The first question is, were the other deaths also caused by monsters?"

Mu Nanjin said: "If it is caused by monsters, you can try like me with a needle."

"Then the demonic energy coming out of the dead body will harm people?"

"Normally it will not harm people, but if you are infected with the evil spirit, you may go crazy or be controlled by the evil spirit. You don't need to worry about this. If you are really scared, go to the national master to ask for a Taoist talisman to ensure that the evil spirit of the monster will not come. You are in trouble."

The gate supervisor now had the urge to find the national master: "I have another question, that is, what should we do if we can't defeat the monsters?"

"It's better to find the National Master, he can solve it."

"OK."

An hour later, the gate supervisor found the national master.

The Imperial Master learned of his purpose and asked, "Are you coming to me yourself? Or is it someone else who wants you to come?"

He didn't think that the door supervisor would be the first to think of coming to him to eliminate monsters after encountering them. Someone must have taught him.

The door supervisor said bluntly: "Mu Nanjin asked me to come to you."

National Division:"……"

Sure enough, it's her again.
