Demoness, Where Are You Fleeing To?

Xue Yunrou's gaze made Li Xuan feel innocent and shivers down his spine.

Fortunately, after Princess Changle said those words, she didn't stay in the main room longer and took Xue Yunrou out with her.

And not long after, a middle-aged man carrying a toolbox walked in and saluted everyone: "I have an humble position, Fu Mo Youyou Zhang Xu. I have met the Marquis and all the captains. Please forgive Zhang for being late." .”

He then specially bowed deeply to the Marquis of Zhendong and said, "Master Marquis, if I have offended your body today, please forgive me. I am just trying to bring down the real culprit who killed the old lady."

Zhendong Hou's expression was cold: "I'm sorry to trouble you, Zhang Youyou. Don't worry, Duan is not an ungrateful person. I just ask you to look carefully and don't let the murderer go unpunished."

Sima Tianyuan was impatient with the wait: "Stop talking nonsense and let's get started. If we continue to delay, the souls of our Fire Bird City will soon arrive."

"I understand!" Zhang Xu nodded, but then he still asked tepidly: "Can the Marquis allow the summoning of souls?"

Zhendong Hou was obviously hesitant, frowning and said: "Just take a look first, and then talk if you can't figure it out."

Zhang Xu had already walked to the body and methodically opened the toolbox in his hand.

The first thing this person used was the 'Spiritual Detection Technique'. Usually, the Six Daosi Division used the urine of Earthly Dragon as a material, which was easy to use and save money. But since the subject of the autopsy was a second-grade imperial concubine, it was natural to change the material. Zhang Xu sprinkled a liquid that smelled like mint all over the old lady's body.

As Zhang Xu held the seal and recited the spiritual formula, everyone saw a layer of black energy appearing around the deceased.

Zhendonghou's fists were suddenly clenched tightly, his eyes were violent, and his aura was overflowing. Fortunately, Lei Yun prevented him and pressed his hand on Zhendong Hou's back in time. Otherwise, the real energy overflowing from Zhendong Hou's body would have been enough to destroy most of the crime scene.

"This is indeed a magic killing! Judging from the concentration of remaining spiritual power, he is at least a magician above the level of the Sixth Floor."

Zhang Xu's eyes narrowed slightly: "Someone controlled the old lady to commit suicide remotely, but please allow me to examine the specific spell."

He first opened the old lady's hair and searched carefully: "There are no soul-suppressing nails or the like on the head. There are no external injuries. It should not be an artifact to control the god."

Next, Zhang Xu opened the deceased's eyelids and carefully observed the depths of the deceased's pupils.

There is no such tool as a flashlight in this era, but this man took out a smooth copper mirror from the tool box and shined it into his eyes, and a bright white light appeared. The effect was much stronger than a flashlight.

"There are no dark lines deep in the eyes, and the pupils are normally dilated. This is not caused by magical powers such as pupil surgery."

Next is the mouth, nose and nails: "There is no abnormal smell in the mouth and nose, and the nails are not blackened. The possibility of poisoning is extremely small."

Zhang Xu used the needle again and took out a drop of blood from the corpse's finger. Then he held the formula with one hand and recited the mantra, causing the blood to glow red.

"The luster is pure and it is indeed not poisoned, at least not the various toxins we commonly see."

Li Xuan watched from the sidelines, thinking that this person was much more professional than him in detection techniques.

Due to time constraints, he only had a rough understanding of the various magical spells of this era.

He didn't even read all the notes his teacher Liu Dawu lent him.

While Zhang Xu was doing the autopsy, Lei Yun took out a black thing from his sleeve, put it in his mouth and chewed it: "Let someone go check it out first. There is something in the house." There are many magic cultivators above the sixth floor. It cannot be said that Her Royal Highness the Princess and Xue Yunrou are closer, so they only regard them as suspects. Those high-level magic cultivators do not necessarily need to cast spells within thirty steps."

The Marquis of Zhendong was very dissatisfied with his behavior. His mother was already lying dead here, but this captain of the Six Daosi Division actually dared to eat here. But when he saw the food in Lei Yun's hand, he was stunned and dumbfounded.

Jiang Hanyun also looked at her colleague speechlessly: "That stone lion, Lei Yun, haven't you finished eating yet?"

"How could I eat such a big and heavy lion so quickly? It weighs more than 22,000 kilograms! Shuangyun cut this stone lion into 100 kilogram portions. To eat one portion every day, I also have to spend 200 kilograms. Twenty days. I don’t know who built that gate in the first place. Why did they put such a big lion pestle there? They just wanted to look good.”

Lei Yun sighed softly, and then took out a stone from his sleeve: "Do you want to eat it? Shuang Yun said that he would improve the taste for me. It is deep-fried and coated with her special paste. It is particularly delicious. It is very good to eat as a snack. Not bad.”

Jiang Hanyun rolled her eyes: "I don't have the luxury to enjoy it, so you should keep it for yourself."

"With cultivation levels above the seventh level, one can indeed extend the distance of committing crimes to a hundred steps or even two hundred steps away. But the prerequisite is that one has had close contact with the old lady, or has mastered the old lady's birth date and blood at the same time. Only with hair and skin can we do it.”

Sima Tianyuan pondered and said: "We can first eliminate them among the guests, and the sooner the better."

Today's guests in the Hou Mansion are either high-ranking officials or their family members, so he probably won't be able to seal it off for long.

Li Xuan, however, had been watching attentively, especially when Zhang Xu opened the clothes on the old lady's right hand and began to examine the deceased's arm, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Li Xuan noticed that the color of the old lady's elbow joint was abnormal. In addition, when Zhang Xu moved her arm joint, Li Xuan also felt something was wrong.

Zhang Xu also clearly noticed it. He then glanced at the slightly displaced coffee table next to him: "There is a slight bruise on the right elbow joint, which is suspected to be caused by hitting the coffee table."

Li Xuan frowned, feeling that it was not that simple. The old lady's arm did hit the coffee table. Judging from his visual inspection, it was not just the result of the impact.

This is due to the sharp increase in his eyesight after practicing martial arts. In his previous life, he would have never been able to see it.

Li Xuan wanted to remind him, but he hesitated secretly.

He had heard of Zhang Xu Zhang Lingwu. It was said that he had a very strong personality, was stubborn, had a small mind, and had a poor reputation among his colleagues.

If he told Zhang Xu's negligence in front of everyone, he would probably have other ideas.

Li Xuan thought for a while and decided to remind him in private. Anyway, the corpse is here, and it won't escape.

Next, he saw Zhang Xu unbuttoning part of the clothes on the old lady's chest, and he could see that there was a bruise and scaly lines on the lower part of the deceased's neck.

Li Xuan couldn't help but feel nervous, remembering some passages he had seen in Liu Dawu's notes not long ago.

That was not an autopsy transcript, but several injury examination records regarding the Purple Butterfly Demon Girl theft case.

Without exception, these people were all burning with strange purple fire at the time of the crime, and then they all had hallucinations and involuntarily acted according to the wishes of the Purple Butterfly Witch.

Afterwards, they all had bruises and scaly lines on their chests. In addition, there were minor burns on the lower edges of their chests and thighs.

In addition, the clothes in these parts will also appear yellowed or even scorched due to high temperatures.

Li Xuan was just thinking about those notes when a panicked and heartbreaking shout suddenly came from outside the hospital: "Master Marquis, Master Marquis, it's not good, something happened over there in Guiyan Tower! Mr. Cui She cut her own throat with a knife and committed suicide."

When everyone present heard this, their expressions suddenly became stern. After looking at each other, they walked out of the main room in the left courtyard at the same time.

Then he saw a blood-stained maid outside the courtyard gate, crying outside the sword marks left by Sima Tianyuan: "Master Marquis is not good! Mrs. Cui, for some reason, suddenly couldn't think about it and cut her with a knife. Her throat was broken. When we saw her, she was lifeless."

"Slit the throat too?" Sima Tianyuan was surprised and looked sideways at Zhendong Marquis: "Master Marquis, may I ask which Mrs. Cui it is?"

The Boling Cui family has been spreading its branches and leaves for thousands of years and multiplying its descendants. There are at least twenty people in Jinling City who are qualified to be called Mrs. Cui.

"The mother of Cui Chengyou, the supervisory censor."

Zhendong Hou's eyes were frightened and filled with rage: "She is my mother's biological sibling. Because her grandson Cui Hongshu died unexpectedly, she came to Jinling all the way. Cui Yushi didn't buy any property in Jinling, so she stayed at my house. She has since I think he is a grieving person, and he has been living in Guiyan Tower during my mother's birthday. Who is this person? How dare you be so presumptuous in my house!"

Sima Tianyuan frowned: "Leiyun, you stay and watch, I will go over with Captain Jiang to have a look."

Although he is only a captain, he is the commander of Fire Bird City. The Fire Bird Capital is the head of the twenty-four capitals of Suzaku Hall, and its status is higher than the other capitals.

Therefore, Lei Yun had no objection: "I am here, brother Sima, just don't worry."

At this time, Sima Tianyuan waved to Li Xuan again, and just when Li Xuan understood and quickly followed, he heard Zhang Xu's voice coming from the room again: "There is a slight burn on the lower edge of the chest and on the side of the liver, UU reading www.uukanshu.net There are burn marks on parts of the underwear.”

Li Xuan frowned, and then strode out of the courtyard.

Just because at this time, Sima Tianyuan and Jiang Hanyun had already disappeared.

And when he hurriedly and slowly arrived at Guiyan Tower not far away. I saw that it was the same here, blocked by a sword mark from Sima Tianyuan.

But at this moment, some personnel from the Six Daosi Division have arrived to help maintain order and drive away idlers. Peng Fulai and Zhang Yue were among them.

Li Xuan entered the attic unimpeded and entered the third floor where the crime occurred.

Then his eyes narrowed slightly. Except for the different decorations and the different position where the deceased was sitting, the situation here was exactly the same as that of the old lady in the Hou Mansion.

The deceased all looked painful, holding a sharp knife in their right hand, and there was a large pool of blood on the ground.

Especially the shocking wound on the neck, which was suddenly folded down after cutting the blood vessels and trachea, leaving a cut mark on the chest.
