Demoness, Where Are You Fleeing To?

"This was the menu on the night of the incident? Are you sure it's correct?"

After Li Xuan got repeated confirmations from the kitchen steward, he walked out with a menu in his hand.

"Is there anything wrong with this menu?" Luo Yan, who was following, snatched the document from Li Xuan's hand with one hand.

After she glanced at it, she raised her eyebrows slightly: "There is really a problem! This should be a breakthrough, right? But Lord Captain, why do you look like you have lost money?"

Li Xuan smiled bitterly and did not answer. He hurriedly came to the stairs and climbed straight to the thirty-seventh floor where the red-scaled snake demon was imprisoned.

When he arrived at the cell where the snake demon was, the snake demon inside immediately coiled up its body, spit out snake letters, and made a shrill snake hiss at him.

Li Xuan completely ignored it, directly scooped up the yellow dust in the cell and sniffed it, then frowned.

According to the information Le Qianqian compiled for him, there were a total of four snake demons captured by Liu Daosi this month. Li Xuan didn't miss anything. He looked at them one by one before leaving this floor dedicated to holding snakes and insects.

Luo Yan was extremely curious. She was now 100% sure that Li Xuan had identified the real culprit.

But even this time, she followed Li Xuan throughout the process of solving the case. Even though she knew the clues Li Xuan had, she still didn't know who this person was——

Next, she saw Li Xuan standing in the lobby on the first floor, frowning and looking towards the door for a long time.

And just when Luo Yan could no longer suppress her curiosity, she heard a very familiar voice coming from outside the gate: "Taishan, when you go in, throw me your talisman."

The person who spoke was Peng Fulai, who should have accompanied Zhang Taishan back after recovering from his injuries.

Sure enough, Zhang Taishan's voice sounded outside again: "Throw the talisman to you? What do you want to do, Lao Peng?"

There was a hint of confusion in his words.

"Let me see if I can get in with your talisman—"

"Huh? What about your own talisman? Why do you use mine?"

"Of course it's lost!" Peng Fulai's voice was tangled and helpless: "If that unworthy bastard Li Xuan took it and scratched it, can I still get it? The Ministry of Internal Affairs said they could reissue it for me, but at least You have to wait three to five days.”

"But it's useless, right?" At this time, Zhang Yue had already walked into the door. He said it was useless, but he still threw the talisman in his hand to Peng Fulai outside the door.

"Even if you can hide the 'Zhenwu Demon-Sealing Array' in the tower, do you think the two lions standing next to you are stupid?"

"It doesn't matter if you give it a try. If you really have no choice, you can only go to Qianzhi, or Luo Youjiao comes down to pick me up. He should also have the authority-"

When the two of them talked about this, Luo Yan saw the sparkle in Li Xuan's eyes getting brighter and brighter.

"Tell me, who is this person?" Luo Yan felt a cat's claw scratching his heart.

"There have been inferences, but the evidence is not sufficient yet."

Li Xuan's eyes were complicated and he said thoughtfully: "I can only say that our previous direction was indeed wrong."

He didn't want to say that person's name, just because Li Xuan couldn't believe his own inference, and he would rather be wrong.

※※※※

In the early morning two days later, when Peng Fulai came to the courtyard of Mingyou Capital with a stack of official documents in his hands, he felt a little complicated.

At this time, Li Xuan was working at his desk, dealing with various documents accumulated in Ming Youdu.

Sitting next to her was Xue Yunrou. She was smiling and supporting her chin with her hands, looking at Li Xuan tenderly. She would also take out grapes, lychees, etc. from the fruit bowl next to her from time to time, and use her green and tender Peel it open with your fingers and feed it to Li Xuan.

Peng Fulai thought enviously that Li Xuan was so lucky, and asked Luo Yan next to him in a low voice: "Isn't she sitting in charge of the Qinhuai River? How can she have the leisure to be here?"

Although he has been staying in Zhuque Hall these past few days and has not even returned to the small courtyard he rented outside, he knows that the situation in Zhuque Hall these days is very bad. Only thirty of the demons who escaped into the city have been captured so far. Several heads.

Shenhui and Xue Wuya, as well as the two strong men from the Fourth Sect who were rescued from the Demon Suppression Tower, are still at large. There are also many Maitreya believers gathering near Jinling. At this time, things are fine in Jinling City, but in the suburbs, these evil cultivators are almost blatant.

Xue Yunrou, as the current sea-suppressing needle of Mingyou City, should have been suppressing evil spirits in the Qinhuai River at this time, instead of returning to Suzaku Hall to accompany her sweetheart.

Luo Yan also glanced at Xue Yunrou, and then replied boredly: "She asked a senior fellow from the Tianshi Mansion to guard her on her behalf today. It is said that he is a great master close to the fourth sect. Naturally, she is no longer needed on the Qinhuai River side. worry."

Peng Fulai's lips twitched, thinking, so there is still this trick? Xue Yunrou's senior brother really loved Xue Xianzi.

Li Xuan finally discovered Peng Fulai's figure and what he was holding in his hands. His face suddenly darkened: "Why are there so many?"

At this time, he particularly missed Jiang Hanyun, who was under surveillance, and also missed Le Qianqian, who was still staying in Zhuque Tower.

With the former, more than half of these official documents would not be his turn; with the assistant Baidu, the secretary can do anything.

"What do you think? Our Mingyou City's current jurisdiction is twice as big."

Peng Fulai gloated: "Both Ma Chenggong and Lieutenant Si are not here, so of course I can only look for you. These official documents are just for the rest. There are two official documents approving the arrest, but they must be processed as soon as possible. The matter involves nobles, and the people below I can’t make the decision, it’s very urgent.”

In fact, he also had a headache. Without Le Qianqian, only Peng Fu could do the assistant's job.

Xue Yunrou looked at Li Xuan's slightly sunken eye sockets, but felt distressed: "Mr. Xuan, why don't we put these official documents away and let's go to Xuanwu Lake to relax a little?"

She was actually thinking that it would be best for the Demon-Suppressing Captain to stop doing this, as it was tiring and dangerous.

Luo Yan in the distance was not sympathetic at all: "Since you are tired, why don't you just release Colonel Jiang? You already know who the murderer is, why are you delaying?"

"Li Xuan has identified the murderer? When did it happen?"

This was the first time Peng Fulai heard this. He was surprised at first, and then he was confused: "Yes, why are you dragging it on? It's not like you haven't seen it, Li Xuan, how arrogant the people in the inner hall are these days! I heard it last night People say that they have almost found out the truth and have basically identified the real culprit. Since you know it, there is no need to just hand over the reward set by the manager, right? This is a total of thirty great achievements, which is better than the previous Winged Demon. There’s more.”

"Naive! Unless the evidence of the crime is conclusive, how could Shi Xin let him go so easily?"

Li Xuan sneered, then sighed, and took the two documents that Peng Fulai put in front of him: "Wait a moment, although I have collected almost all the evidence, there are still flaws, but Qianqian It should be almost there. If it doesn’t work out, we’ll go to the Zhuque Tower at noon today.”

In fact, at this point in the investigation, there is no need to look for more evidence. In this era, there is no presumption of innocence.

The information he had in his hands alone was enough to convict that person.

But in Li Xuan's heart, he still had thoughts of what might happen, what if his inference was wrong?

Although he had identified the real culprit, he still couldn't trust his judgment until now.

In the past two days, he was not so much looking for further evidence as he was trying to prove that his inference was wrong.

But just when Li Xuan said this, a bell suddenly sounded outside.

That was the alarm bell that came from the Suzaku Tower. At the same time, the voice of the demon-suppressing manager also resounded throughout the entire Suzaku Hall.

"Within two moments, all captains and above in the hall, as well as everyone involved in the Demon Suppression Tower explosion, must gather in the main hall on the first floor of the Demon Suppression Tower. No delay!"

When these words fell, several people in the room suddenly looked at each other.

Peng Fulai let out a cry of surprise: "Inspector Shi? What are you doing at the Demon Suppression Tower? Could it be that they have already solved the problem?"

Li Xuan frowned, then threw all the official documents in front of him aside: "Let's go take a look!"

And just when everyone was getting up in a hurry, Le Qianqian also ran back with a stack of files in her arms and a hurried look.

Li Xuan couldn't help but feel nervous when he saw this: "How is Qianqian? Is there any result?"

"All the results of the two things you asked me to check are here." Le Qianqian exhaled and put the files in her hand into Li Xuan's hands.

At the same time, she looked at Li Xuan with surprised eyes: "Could it be this person? But how could it be?"

Li Xuan didn't answer. He took the documents and looked through them carefully. A dignified and sad look gradually appeared in his eyes: "Although I don't know the reason, this person must be the right one."

Now there is good news and bad news. The good news is that he no longer has to work for Jiang Hanyun for free. With Le Qianqian's file, even the last doubt has been eliminated.

The bad news also comes from the dossier brought by Le Qianqian.

Peng Fulai next to him looked at it, but he was confused. Who was this mole?

※※※※

A moment later, Li Xuan led everyone to the front of the Demon Suppression Tower. I saw that the place was already crowded with people. Almost everyone in the Suzaku Hall gathered here and peered into the wide hall inside the gate.

When they pushed through the crowd and entered the gate, they saw that many demon-suppressing captains and school captains were gathered here. Jiang Hanyun and other school captains and captains who were under guard were also among them.

Maybe it was because he was too bored after being locked up in the Demon Suppression Tower for a few days, and Jiang Hanyun didn't look good.

However, after seeing Li Xuan and others arriving, Jiang Hanyun's eyes lit up: "Li Xuan, come to my side!"

Li Xuan walked over as he was told, and then heard Jiang Hanyun ask impatiently: "Are you investigating the case these days? Don't let that guy Shi Xin take the lead! I heard that you For two days, I spent most of the time in the yard dealing with official documents, can’t you tell the difference between the importance and the importance?”

"I have solved the case, but if Inspector Shi really takes the lead, there is nothing I can do."

Li Xuan wondered if those official documents had accumulated to the point where they were affecting the normal operation of Mingyou City, so he didn't bother to take care of them. Wouldn't it be delicious to lie in Xue Yunrou's arms and eat grapes?

"But I can guarantee that no matter what the outcome is today, you can all leave this Demon Suppression Tower."

His words also attracted the attention of several captains around him, and even Qiu Qianqiu glanced sideways.

Li Xuan found that Lei Yun's eyes had turned into panda eyes, and his cheeks were swollen, as if he had two buns stuffed in his mouth, or like a local dog whose face was swollen by a hornet.

He understood in an instant that General Wang Zhonglang had already found this guy, and then he raised his fist towards Lei Yun to express his admiration.

General Wang Zhonglang was so generous that he didn't kill this guy - he would keep his promise and invite Lei Yun to drink another day.

Lei Yun tried his best to glare, which meant get out of here!

"Hey! How long can he keep us locked up? Although the inner hall has great power, but does the safety of Nanjing City still need to be endangered? The face of Liudaosi in Nanzhili must be protected, right? He has been keeping us locked up, and there is no one from above. statement?"

Jiang Hanyun looked disdainful, but still had a pretty face: "And what you said, why are you so useless? If this case is solved by them first, doesn't that mean he slaps us in the face again?"

"I don't want to either, but can I still stop them from solving the case?" When Li Xuan said this, he suddenly frowned: "Where is Captain Zhen?"

He didn't see Zhen Shenlian's figure among the crowd.

Jiang Hanyun frowned slightly when she heard this: "I haven't seen him since I came down, is that possible?"

And just as they were talking, the blind old man and Shi Xin appeared in the center of the hall. The former glanced at everyone present with a cold expression, and his eyes were also cold and emotionless. This person's eyes stayed on Li Xuan for a while, and then he looked elsewhere.

Shi Xin was still wearing the all-black Six-Path Demon-Subduing Armor, with a half-smile on his face.

When everyone gathered here, Shi Xin put his hands behind his back and said, "I'm asking the manager to summon you this time because the mole case has been solved."

Amid the uproar of the crowd, a figure with gray hair and bloodied body wearing single clothes was dragged into the main hall by chains.

"Captain Zhen?"

"Guisudu Commander Zhen Shenlian?"

"How could it be him?"

"It's absolutely impossible. Colonel Zhen is an old man in our Sixth Division. He has been serving as the captain for nine years."

"Looking at this, he must have been severely punished—excessive!"

Shi Xin ignored everyone's comments and looked sideways at Zhen Shenlian: "Colonel Zhen, are you still unwilling to plead guilty?"

"Inspector Shi, what crime do you want me to admit to?" Zhen Shenlian looked bleak and said with half-closed eyes: "If it is for the explosion of the Demon Suppression Tower, Zhen has already said it, and it is definitely not Zhen's fault."

"You are so stubborn and evil-minded!"

Shi Xin shook his head: "Now that the witnesses and physical evidence are conclusive, even if you insist on refusing to plead guilty, what will it do to the matter?"

The blind old man looked at Zhen Shenlian up and down sadly, and then looked at Shi Xin: "Inspector Shi, what is the evidence of Colonel Zhen's crime?"

Shi Xin paid no attention to the questioning tone of the Demon-Suppressing Manager: "Firstly, I sat on the top of the Demon Suppression Tower on September 16th, which happened to be the same day as Mrs. Lin delivered meals to the fifty-sixth floor; secondly, When the Demon Suppression Tower incident occurred, Zhen Shenlian was also on duty at the top of the Demon Suppression Tower. With his ability, he could have gone to the bottom to plant explosives when Lei Yun left his post without authorization and left the altar. Among the four school captains at that time, Zhen Shenlian may have committed a crime, you should have no doubt about this, right?"

"As for the possibility of committing the crime, it is also possible that our couple and Lieutenant Lei were involved."

This is Shen Zhimou, the commander of the Black Snake Capital. He said with a sullen face, "My husband and I are more suspects than Brother Zhen."

Shi Xin glanced at him sideways and sneered: "Thirdly, Zhen Shenlian has a very close relationship with Sister Lin. More than one person has provided evidence to me that Captain Zhen and Sister Lin have a relationship. Not only do the two have a close relationship, , and she has taken good care of this girl. Even the reason why Mrs. Lin was able to enter the Demon Town Tower as a white servant was because of your personal involvement, Captain Zhen."

"Absurd!" Zhen Shenlian's face turned pale: "I have indeed had some contact with Mrs. Lin, but I only pity her life experience and think she is pitiable. I failed to understand Mrs. Lin's unpredictable intentions. This is indeed It’s Zhen’s fault. But back then, this girl’s life experience was relatively innocent, and I just planned to let her go into the Suzaku Hall to do some laundry and starching work. How she got into the Demon Suppression Tower, I don’t know.”

"Speaking like a glib!" Shi Xin shook his head, and threw another document in front of Zhen Shenlian: "Fourth, two and a half months ago, the 150 hectares of land you bought in your hometown in Zhenjiang, and How to explain? Zhenjiang is close to Nanjing, so every inch of land is valuable, and what you, Zhen Shenlian, bought were the best paddy fields. I don’t doubt that you have such financial resources, but as far as I know, these one hundred and fifty hectares Tian, ​​Lin Ziyang personally came forward to act as your middleman, and even forced a wealthy family in Zhenjiang to leave for this purpose."

Zhen Shen Lian clenched his teeth, and there was even no blood on his face: "This is because my wife, Zhen Shen Lian, was not strict with the family, and my wife was deceived and did it privately. After Zhen learned about it, he immediately returned the fields and personally He came to apologize, and Lin Ziyang's rebellious behavior had not yet been revealed."

"It's only a few days away. Who knows you didn't realize something was wrong and were pretending?"

Shi Xin's eyes were cold: "Fifth, yesterday the Japanese personally led a team to search your home. In your secret room, Zhen, they found a structural drawing of the Demon Suppression Tower, a Maitreya Buddha statue, and the Maitreya Sutra. , "Maitreya Bodhisattva's Next Life Sutra", "Maitreya Bodhisattva's Parinirvana Sutra", "Maitreya Bodhisattva's Original Vow Sutra", these four sutras also have your handwriting on them. Zhen Shen Lian, what else do you have to say? Can you tell?"

Zhen Shenlian looked stunned, looking at Shi Xin, speechless for a long time.

At this time, the discussion among the crowd gradually began to change.

"Isn't this mole really Captain Zhen?"

"This is indeed a complete case of human and material evidence."

"It's really him! Damn it——"

"You really know people, faces but not hearts."

The blind old man frowned slightly, his eyes seemed to be in disbelief; Qiu Qianqiu looked at Zhen Shenlian with surprise and suspicion.

"No way, is it really Captain Zhen?" Jiang Hanyun also looked at Li Xuan with a bewildered look: "Didn't you say that the case has been solved? Is this mole really Captain Zhen?"

"Winds, horses and cows are irrelevant." Li Xuan shook his head and looked at someone in the crowd: "I don't know whether the Maitreya Buddhism and Buddhist scriptures mentioned by Shi Xin are true or false, but the real culprit is someone else."

"Everyone!"

At this time, Shi Xin glanced at everyone with a sneer: "As far as Shi knows, since I led the people to the Suzaku Hall, you people in the Suzaku Hall have made a lot of criticisms against me, and some people said that I abused my power. In fact, some people say that they are retaliating, and some people say that I, Mr. Shi, deliberately seek an opportunity to start a factional struggle. However, the facts have proved that Mr. Shi, I, take all the measures taken in a business-like manner——"

"Inspector Stone!"

At this time, a cold voice from the audience interrupted Shi Xin's words.

Everyone looked sideways and found that it was Li Xuan: "Inspector Shi, your actions were all within the rules of the Six Daosi Division, but there was indeed someone else who caused the explosion that day, and it was definitely not Principal Zhen. Lieutenant."

Shi Xin was slightly stunned when he heard this, and looked at Li Xuan. His eyes gradually became cold: "Are you trying to exonerate him?"

"It's not to exonerate him, but it's the fact that supervision makes your judgment fundamentally flawed."

Li Xuan shook his head: "To be honest, I once doubted Colonel Zhen, but there was always one thing that couldn't be avoided. As we all know, the spiritual power of rice paper and blood cannot be preserved for more than three days. So any kind of talisman It is impossible for everyone to use these two materials to make a talisman that lasts for more than three days.

But the first time Captain Zhen sat on the top floor was at midnight on September 16th, and the moment of the crime was at 1:40 on September 19th, nearly four days apart. And on the night of the incident, Mrs. Lin’s dining car had never entered the top floor. "

Shi Xin couldn't help but look slightly green: "How do you know it wasn't on the 19th? A few divine fire talismans are much more convenient than those gunpowder——"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he realized something was wrong.

The two explosions of the Demon Suppression Tower, in addition to the divine fire talisman used to ignite the fire, also contained phantom talismans used to cover the smell of gunpowder and blind the spiritual perception of many captains.

The divine fire talisman can be carried on the same day, but the phantom talisman must be buried in advance. Can the phantom talisman made of rice paper and human blood last for three days? This is undoubtedly a fantasy.

He had seen the scene, and the reason why the phantom talisman was able to hide it from everyone and maintain its effectiveness for a long time was because of the rich Kunyuan earth energy in the place where it was buried.

"In addition, there are two pieces of paper that invite our Lieutenant Lei and Captain Gongsun to come out."

Li Xuan continued: "I wonder if Inspector Shi noticed that it was Songwen ink? The cheaper Ishida ink was commonly used in the Demon Suppression Tower. Until three days before the incident, the newly imported Ishida inkstones were of poor quality. , the general warehouse temporarily returned the goods, and instead put the Song Wen Mo in stock into the ninth floor of the Demon Suppression Tower for urgent use. The problem was that in the past three days, no prisoners were imprisoned on the ninth floor in Guisu Capital, so naturally the ink inkstones there could not be used.

Theoretically speaking, Lieutenant Zhen had no access to Song Wenmo in the Demon Suppression Tower. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net Of course, you can also say that it was his accomplices who did it, but the problem is that in the past three days, only nine people have interrogated the criminals in the ninth-floor interrogation room, and there are well-documented records. Inspector Shi, before you convict Captain Zhen, do you have to ask them first? "

Shi Xin's expression changed again. Li Xuan had handed Lei Yun and Gong Sun Xue's letterheads to the evidence room before, but he really didn't notice this section.

"I knew it! These people from the inner court, can they handle the case?"

Jiang Hanyun's eyes brightened and she looked excited: "Li Xuan, you said you had solved the case. Tell me quickly, who is the mole?"

Her words made the blind old man feel slightly refreshed, and at this time, the whole hall could hear the sound of needles dropping.

At this time, Li Xuan looked at a figure with a cold expression in the crowd with complicated eyes.

"This explosion case has indeed come to light. Before I explain the reasons, what I want to tell you is that Mrs. Lin never entered the Demon Suppression Tower on the night of the incident!"

When he said this, there was a buzz from all directions, and the expression of the person Li Xuan was paying attention to changed slightly.
