The First Marquis of Daxuan

Chapter 57 Two Identities (Please read, collect, and vote for the monthly ticket)
Report to the Taiping Division?
Should I tell you that I am now an intern at the Taiping Division?
Su Mu was wondering in his heart, he had just become an intern at the Taiping Division, and he immediately encountered demons causing trouble?

Is this good luck or bad luck?
"Zheng Bantou, are you sure the case in Wulimiao Village is related to demons?"

Su Mu looked at Zheng Wang and asked.

"Who can be sure? I didn't see it with my own eyes."

Zheng Wang shook his head and said, "But we, the detectives, can sniff something out. Didn't you see that no squad leader is willing to take this case?

Mr. Zhao himself didn’t want to go, he just took advantage of you because you didn’t understand, so he threw the case to you.”

Solving a murder case is a great achievement for a detective. If it were an easy case, everyone would be rushing to solve it. Who would shirk their responsibility?
"Captain Su, I have an idea for you. Just go out of town for a walk, pretend, and come back and say you can't find the murderer. At most you'll get scolded by Sima and fined two months' salary, but that's better than losing your life."

Zheng Wang persuaded.

"Thank you, Mr. Zheng. I understand."

Su Mu bowed.

After saying goodbye to Zheng Wang, Su Mu did not leave the city immediately.

Instead, he came to his seat and sat down, opening the file in front of him.

Although he seemed to be flipping through the files, Su Mu's attention was actually on the system panel in front of him.

[Name: Su Mu]

[Identity: Constable Squad Leader/Taiping Division White-robed Officer (Ninth Rank)]

[Points: 0 points]

[Kung Fu: Golden Scale Skin Tempering Method (Perfect), Black Jade Skin Tempering Method (Beginner)]

[Martial Arts: Fubo Sword Skills (Perfect), Archery (Beginner)]

Looking at the contents on the panel, Su Mu fell into deep thought.

In the identity column, in addition to the original head of the constable squad, there is now another identity of a white-clothed officer from the Taiping Division.

"Ninth rank is a rank, and squad leader and white-clothed are actual positions. Does the system panel also use a system that parallels the rank?"

He originally thought that identities were interchangeable, but now it seems that there can only be one rank, but the actual position may not be the same.

"With two identities, I can receive two salaries. I wonder if I can earn two points?"

Su Mu felt a little bit excited.

He focused his attention on the Black Jade Skin Tempering Method, and a hint of information came to his mind.

The Black Jade Skin Tempering Method requires fifty points from entry level to minor success, one hundred and fifty points from minor success to major success, and five hundred points from major success to perfection.

This is exactly half of the points required to upgrade the Golden Scale Skin Tempering Method.

It should be that I already have experience in skin tempering, so practicing the skin tempering method again is naturally easier than the first time.

"If I can gain points with both identities, it won't take long for me to practice this black jade skin quenching method to perfection. By then, even if my skin can't catch up with Wei Yongfu's natural bronze skin, it will probably be not much different."

Su Mu said to himself, put away the panel, and looked back at the file.

"Zheng Wang is an experienced team leader. Since he said that the murder case in Wulimiao Village was related to demons, it is very likely that it is related to demons."

Su Mu opened the file and read it carefully. "If I were just an ordinary squad leader, the best option now would be to report it to the Taiping Division and have the Taiping Division send a Taiping Commandant or even a Taiping Colonel to handle the matter.

But I am not. ”

"I am a white-clad member of the Taiping Division, and I am suspected of being a demon harming people. If I do nothing and just ask for help, it will definitely affect the Taiping Division's evaluation of me."

"If you don't even have the courage to face the demons, then you are not suitable to join the Taiping Division. Lin Qihuan gave me a chance because of my courage. If I don't even have the courage to investigate now, I'm afraid he will just give up on me."

While looking at the files, Su Mu thought in his heart.

Even if they asked for help, they would have to first confirm whether the incident in Wulimiao Village was really related to the demons, and it would be best to find a way to determine the strength of the demons. If it was really beyond their ability to handle, then it would be reasonable to ask for help.

According to the files, six people died in Wulimiao Village in the past six months, an average of one person per month.

"One a month, and the most recent one died the day before yesterday."

The files clearly record that the causes of death of these six people were not the same. Some died from falling, some were bitten to death by wild beasts, and the causes of death of two were unknown.

It's not surprising to see a few people die these days.

But the strange thing is that the six people who died were all in their prime and had no medical symptoms.

"The porters, the night watchmen, the spring water vendors..."

Su Mu looked at the deceased's occupation in the file and couldn't help tapping his fingers on the table.

The deceased all had legitimate jobs. Although they were not decent, at least they could ensure food and clothing.

Is the murderer after money?
If they were after money, there are plenty of wealthy families in South City, and these dead people obviously did not have much wealth.

If it's not about money, then it's a personal vendetta?
But these six dead people had nothing to do with each other, and it is unlikely that they had a common enemy.

Could it really be the work of a demon?
But if it was a demon, it would definitely kill more than just a few people. Demons are bloodthirsty and cruel, and have no rationality at all.

If there really were demons in Wulimiao Village, I'm afraid there would have been no one alive in the entire village.

Su Mu read the file twice but still had no clue.

"According to the pattern of the deceased's death, one person dies every month. The last person died only two days ago. The murderer should not commit another crime so soon."

Su Mu rubbed his brows and said, "There is still time, I can check it slowly."

He continued to study the files until the sun set, then Su Mu took the files and returned to the Xu Mansion, which was originally his home.

In the middle of the night, when Su Mu was reading the files, he saw that his biological clock started on time and he opened his eyes suddenly.

"It's time. Let me see if I can earn two points with two identities."

[Name: Su Mu]

[Identity: Constable Squad Leader/Taiping Division White-robed Officer (Ninth Rank)]

[Points: 70 points]

[Kung Fu: Golden Scale Skin Tempering Method (Perfect), Black Jade Skin Tempering Method (Beginner/+)]

[Martial Arts: Fubo Sword Skills (Perfect), Archery (Beginner)]

In the darkness, Su Mu's eyes suddenly lit up.

Seventy points!
It’s actually seventy points!

The basic points that a team leader brings in every day are 20. If he performs his duties diligently and gets the full performance points, the daily limit is 40 points.

In other words, the identity of Bai Yi from Taiping Division can bring at least thirty points every day.

As expected, he is worthy of the status brought by the ninth rank. He has not even fulfilled his duties, but the basic points alone are at least thirty points!
"When you go out, you give yourself your identity."

A thoughtful look appeared on Su Mu's face, as if he had found his own track. Since two identities were enough, could he have more?
For example, the ghostwriter...

"You can come back and try again. Now, let's improve the Black Jade Skin Tempering Technique to a minor level."

Su Mu's mind moved, and he clicked the "+" behind the Black Jade Skin Tempering Method on the system panel.
