Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 240: Demon? Wild God?
Zhao Qi gritted his teeth in hatred.

He really wanted to yell at Shang Lu: Run? You injured my fucking foot, and now you've put a flying knife on my throat and chest, how can I run? Come on, run and show me!

Zhao Qi cursed Shang Lu in his heart, but he shouted loudly:
"You have arrested the wrong person! I am an honest and upright person and have never done anything illegal! You are arresting innocent people indiscriminately! Come and see, folks, these corrupt officials are arresting people indiscriminately. They arrested me today, and they will arrest you tomorrow..."

"Ha. You are quite eloquent!"

Shang Lu was amused by him and asked with a sneer, "If you haven't violated any law or discipline, why did you run away when you saw me? You even used magic to avoid my pursuit. It's obvious that you are guilty and afraid!"

Zhao Qi was still stubborn: "You are so aggressive, how can I know what you want to do? It is true that I know magic, but the court did not say that ordinary people like us are not allowed to learn magic."

Shang Lu ignored Zhao Qi's questioning and just sneered: "You are still a little naive to be tough with me."

Then he waved his hand, and the flying knife aimed at Zhao Qi's heart immediately pierced into it.

Zhao Qi was shocked. He didn't expect Shang Lu to really dare to do it.

Fortunately, the knife avoided his heart and saved his life.

But a stream of blood flowed into his body along with the flying knife, and turned into invisible knives that stabbed and cut his body, causing him to wail in agony.

Zhao Qi's previous shouting and his current wailing attracted a lot of people to watch the fun.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the police hurriedly drove people away: "Go away, don't join in the fun here!"

"It's okay, let them see." Shang Lu was sure that there was something wrong with Zhao Qi and was not afraid of the people watching.

On the contrary, driving them away may easily lead to some bad rumors, so it is better to enforce the law openly and prevent the spread of rumors.

Shang Lu just ordered: "Tell the onlookers to stand further away to avoid being accidentally injured!"

Afterwards, Shang Lu used his eloquent tongue to interrogate Zhao Qi.

"So, do you remember what you did wrong? If not, I'll try harder and help you recall it."

Zhao Qi is not a man of strong will.

Under the combined effects of pain and eloquence, he soon spoke.

"You came here for Qiu Jiu? But I really didn't kill him. I just borrowed a little bit of his luck. Who knew that he was so unlucky that he died..."

"Qiu Jiu's death turned out to be related to you!"

When the officer heard this, he turned around in surprise and reported to Shang Lu: "Sir, Qiu Jiu was a white-collar officer in our thief Cao's office. He suddenly died of a sudden illness some time ago. I didn't expect that he was killed by this bastard!"

Zhao Qi shouted, "It wasn't my fault. I just lent him some of his luck. He was unlucky himself. It has nothing to do with me! He beat me up. I just lent him some of his luck. I was already showing mercy."

Shang Lu didn't expect that he would get an unexpected result from asking questions.

Judging from the situation, the people Zhao Qi has harmed are probably more than just Zhao Peng's family and Qiu Jiu.

"You stole someone's luck and caused their death, and you still dare to make excuses here!"

Shang Lu shouted loudly, and then asked: "Besides Qiu Jiu, who else have you harmed? Tell me!"

Zhao Qi also realized at this moment that Shang Lu deliberately did not tell him why he came to see him, just to extort more cases from him.

He immediately clenched his teeth and said no more.

"It seems you have committed quite a few crimes. If you refuse to speak, that's fine. Take you back to the Thief Office for a slow interrogation. I want to see whether you are more stubborn than us or whether we have stronger methods."

Seeing that more and more people were gathering around, and that Zhao Qi was most likely involved in many cases, Shang Lu stopped interrogating him at the street corner and prepared to take him back to the yamen and hand him over to an old official who was skilled in torture to deal with him.

Zhao Qi was not a tough guy. He would confess if he was treated harshly. Zhao Qi seemed to have anticipated this situation. He wanted to struggle, but in front of Shang Lu, he was like a chicken and it was useless.

As for the few magic tricks he knew, they were of no use to him.

In a hurry, Zhao Qi said something that Shang Lu had not expected.

"You'd better let me go, otherwise the Black Horn God will not let you go!"

"Black Horned God?"

"That's right, the Black Horn God has boundless magical powers. If you don't want to die, let me go immediately."

Shang Lu had never heard of the name of the Black Horned God.

This is either a demon pretending to be a god, or an evil god.

"So you're performing a sexual ritual. No wonder you've acquired such evil skills!"

Shang Lu snorted coldly, and turned his blood into shackles that tightly locked Zhao Qi and dragged him to the thief Cao's office.

The people who came to watch the fun followed them all the way until they entered the thieves' office, and they were still looking around curiously outside the yamen.

The officials in the Bandits' Office were all surprised to see Shang Lu dragging back a man with bleeding legs.

Before they could ask any questions, the officer who had accompanied Shang Lu through the entire process quickly explained.

"What? Qiu Jiu was harmed by this person?"

"He also performs adultery?"

After hearing the officer's words, everyone in the thieves' office looked at Zhao Qi with surprise and anger.

And the look in his eyes when he looked at Shang Lu was filled with shock and admiration.

When this newly appointed thief Cao Yuan arrived at the yamen, he first presented a human head as a gift, from which they found clues to several unsolved cases.

Unexpectedly, the murderer who killed Qiu Jiu has been caught now!

Moreover, this person was also involved in adultery! He might have been involved in more than just the murder of Qiu Jiu!
The Demon-Suppressing County Lieutenant is indeed capable and lives up to his reputation!

Chen Li soon came out and was stunned after hearing the details.

The matter that had troubled them for a long time, as soon as Shang Lu arrived, he caught the culprit?

I know that the Demon-Suppressing County Lieutenant is powerful, but isn’t this too outrageous?

Shang Lu asked the thief Cao Li, who was good at torture, to take Zhao Qi to the cell and torture him thoroughly, and then explained to Chen Li:
"It's all coincidence. Wasn't I looking for a place to live? I ended up finding a haunted house. There were two mothers and children who died unjustly in the house. They asked me to avenge them..."

After hearing this, Chen Li became even more shocked.

"The luck of the merchant thief Cao is really enviable."

Shang Lu said, "Chen Zecao, Zhao Qi has some strange skills. Please keep an eye on him and don't let him cause any trouble. I will take people to search his house and see what the black-horned god he is worshipping is!"

Chen Li nodded, his expression serious: "Don't worry, since he has entered our Thief Cao's office, no matter what weird tricks he has, he can't use them! But you, the Shang Thief Cao, must be careful! If what Zhao Qi is worshipping is just a demon, it's fine. If it is really an evil god, you must not be careless. Although they are not the righteous gods recognized by the court and the Witch Academy, they have extraordinary strength, and no one can defeat them!"

Shang Lu bowed and said, "Thank you Chen Zecao for reminding me. I will know my limits."
