I became the demon of the female devil

Chapter 45: Noble Ladies in the Capital, Shall We Go to the Jiaofangsi?

boom! boom! boom!
The streets echoed with dull sounds of blows.

"Twenty, nineteen..."

The black stick in Lin Jingzhu's hand was as powerful as a thousand pounds. It smashed down with a whistling sound, tearing the strong man's clothes and covering his body with blood. The blood splattered on her fair cheek, making her look sickly beautiful.

The sturdy man was no longer moving at this time.

He found that the more he cursed, the harder the other party would hit him. The other party would even deliberately miscount so that he would get a few more blows. So he simply kept silent and pretended to be dead.

Chen Mo watched this scene with interest.

The woman's attack seemed fierce, but in fact, her strength was just right. The man's waist, back, buttocks and legs were all injured, and the pain went deep into his bones, but it was not fatal. Whenever the strong man wanted to use his energy to resist, the stick would always block his energy channels accurately, and he could only lie on the ground and take the beating.

"Tsk, that's called professionalism."

"Master Chen."

At this moment, a call came from my ear.

Chen Mo looked back and saw someone waving at him from the second-floor window of the restaurant next to him. It was Shangguan Yunfei, whom he had met once before.

"Sir Chen, please come up and talk. I have something to discuss with you." Shangguan Yunfei bowed in the air.

Chen Mo walked into Zuiyue Tower and came to the private room on the second floor. Shangguan Yunfei stood up and apologized, "Don't blame me, Master Chen. With the situation outside, it is really inconvenient for me to show up."

He was already accustomed to this kind of thing. He couldn't stop it, but not stopping it would be dereliction of duty, so he simply didn't even show up.

"Master Chen was originally a centurion. If I have been disrespectful to you before, I hope you will forgive me."

Shangguan Yunfei did not know the internal situation of Tianlin Guard. He went back to inquire about it and found out that although Chen Mo was the general flag, he enjoyed the salary of a centurion and was a sixth-rank official, which was one level higher than him as an inspector.

"It's just an empty title, not worth mentioning."

Chen Mo waved his hand, looked out the window, and asked curiously, "Is this person from your Six Gates?"

Shangguan Yunfei nodded, "Speaking of which, Lord Chen also knows her. She is the inspector of the government office, Lin Jingzhu."

Chen Mo suddenly realized.

The names of the Four Great Detectives are known to everyone in Tiandu City.

But Lin Jingzhu has another identity. Her mother, "Madam Jinyun", is the cousin of the current queen. She is a true royal relative and a noble lady in the capital.

"This Captain Lin is really... well, unconventional." Chen Mo said in a playful tone.

Shangguan Yunfei smiled bitterly.

Riding a horse in a busy city is not a big deal. It is inevitable when there is an emergency, so there is no need to make a big deal out of it.

But this man actually whipped the child without holding back, which showed that he had a vicious mind. No wonder Lin Jingzhu got angry.

……

boom!
boom!
The "flogging" is coming to an end.

"...Three, two, one."

Finish work.

Lin Jingzhu shook off the blood on the black stick and flicked his wrist. With the "click" sound of the gears turning, the two ends quickly retracted inward, and the five-foot-long stick that reached his eyebrows became only the size of a palm and hung on the leather strap around his waist.

Looking at the bruised and battered man on the ground, she said calmly, "You should be thankful that the whip didn't hit you just now, otherwise it would not be as simple as fifty sticks."

"..."

The strong man trembled all over, and climbed up while enduring the pain. He stared at Lin Jingzhu with a sinister look, "I am a captain of the imperial army. I dare to attack the government troops. This is a heinous crime that cannot be pardoned!"

"You're in big trouble, little bitch!"

If I don’t get back at being beaten like this in public, I won’t be able to stay in Tiandu City anymore!
This woman is dressed in tight clothes and reeks of alcohol. She must be a gangster. She's trying to show off her skills by relying on her skills. Just wait and see how I deal with you!
"What did you call me?" Lin Jingzhu narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Hmph, just wait for me!"

The strong man knew that he was no match for her and did not bother to argue with her any more. He was about to jump on the horse when he suddenly remembered that his buttocks had been beaten to pieces and he was afraid that he could not withstand the bumps. He had no choice but to hold the reins and limp away from the street.

Lin Jingzhu looked at the crushed sugar figure on the ground, walked to the stall next to him, threw down a piece of silver, picked up a new sugar figure from the straw target, and came to the mother and daughter.

"Give."

Lin Jingzhu knelt down and handed the candy man to the little girl. "Thank you, sister."

The little girl's eyes sparkled.

Seeing blood on Lin Jingzhu's face, he took out a handkerchief from his arms and carefully wiped it off for her.

Lin Jingzhu smiled, rubbed the pigtailed little head with his hand, stood up and said to the woman, "Let's go quickly. I think that person will come back. Be careful not to get into trouble."

"Thank you very much, young lady."

The woman turned pale and didn't dare to stay. She picked up the girl and left quickly.

Boom——

Muffled thunder rolled through the sky, grinding out the moisture in the clouds. Raindrops as big as beans fell, washing away the bloodstains remaining on the street bricks.

Lin Jingzhu leaped and jumped directly from the window into the box on the second floor.

"Stretching my muscles feels good. This time my salary will really be deducted until the year after next... Hmm? Is it you?"

Lin Jingzhu was slightly stunned, only to see the man who had just rescued someone sitting at the table.

Shangguan Yunfei introduced: "This is the captain of Tianlin Guard, Master Chen Mochen."

"Are you Chen Mo?"

Lin Jingzhu looked stunned. He was just muttering, "I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that we would meet here."

Looking at him carefully, she saw that he was handsome, like a flawless jade. Shangguan Yunfei was also handsome, but in comparison, he was totally different - it was the first time she had seen such a good-looking man.

At the same time, Chen Mo was also looking at her.

[The Noble Lady of Tiandu·Snow and Ice as Skin and Jade as Bones·Lin Jingzhu]

[Realm: Sixth-Rank Warrior]

[Kung Fu: Nine-turn Ice Soul Kung Fu]

[Martial Arts: Azure Power, Flying Phoenix Feathers, Spiritual Wind Control Step]

[Favorability: 0/100 (locked)]

He was wearing a plain white martial robe with a leather belt around his waist that outlined his slender waist. His jet-black hair was simply tied up with a red rope. His skin was as white as porcelain, his eye sockets were deep, his eyes were as clear as autumn water, his nose was high, and his jawline was clear and smooth.

Beauty lies in the bones, not in the skin. Lin Jingzhu is a typical "beauty with bone structure".

Although he is of noble status, he does not have the aristocratic temperament at all. Instead, his every move and gesture gives off the carefree attitude of a man of the world.

"Captain Lin has been practicing with Xue Wukui for many years, so it is inevitable that he will be influenced by some of the underworld elements." Shangguan Yunfei said in a low voice.

Lin Jingzhu rolled his eyes at him and said, "Can you please stop whispering in front of me? I'm not deaf."

"..."

Shangguan Yunfei cleared his throat and said seriously, "It just so happens that Lord Chen is here, let's talk business. This time the demon clan murder incident has an extremely bad impact, and the higher-ups have issued a death order that it must be solved within half a month!"

"Mr. Chen, you are the chief investigator of this case. Where do you think we should go next?"

Shangguan Yunfei looked at Chen Mo expectantly.

From the Barbarian Slave Case, the Heavenly Demon Case, and this time’s Demon Clan Murder Case, it is enough to see that Chen Mo is meticulous, insightful, and a good investigator!
Plus the extremely keen perception of demonic energy...

The key to whether this case can be solved lies in this Lord Chen!

Lin Jingzhu showed curiosity and wanted to know what he would arrange next.

Chen Mo thought for a moment and said, "I suggest going to the Jiaofangsi."

Shangguan Yunfei's expression brightened, "Your Excellency means that the demons might be hiding in the Jiaofangsi? That makes sense! The Jiaofangsi is a mixed bag of people, full of filth and dirt, it's the most suitable place to hide!"

"And the identities of the guests here are complicated, which makes it easier to select prey..."

The more he analyzed, the more he thought it made sense, and he praised him in his heart, saying that he was worthy of being called Lord Chen, a guiding light!

Chen Mo shook his head and said, "I mean, drinking alone is boring. We can go to the Jiaofangsi to have some fun."

Shangguan Yunfei: “…”
