I became the demon of the female devil

Chapter 76 Taking a bath with President Li! (Two in one)

"The food is here!"

The waiter brought out plates of steaming dishes.

Live fish with soy sauce, steamed river shrimp, barbecued pork with honey, braised pork knuckle... more than twenty dishes filled the entire table. They were fat and delicious, and the aroma was fragrant. Just the smell made people's appetite growl.

Everyone swallowed their saliva but hesitated to pick up their chopsticks.

Chen Mo said, "Eat, what are you all standing there for?"

A flag bearer asked cautiously, "Sir, did we order too many dishes?"

"Eight people, all warriors, how can they work if they don't have enough food?" Chen Mo saw their concerns and said with a smile: "Why, are you worried that I can't pay?"

Everyone looked slightly embarrassed.

They all knew the financial situation of the office and there was no money in the account.

Previously, when Yan Liang led people to investigate cases, they always ate and ate for free. Later, after Li Yuan took over the affairs, he strictly prohibited such behavior, so when they went out to perform official duties, they usually brought their own dry food...

Chen Mo shook his head.

The Tianlin Guard and the Dinghuo Division are unique in being able to achieve this level.

Yan Liang and Chu Zhuo amassed huge wealth, but their subordinates even had trouble eating...

At this time, Qin Shou cleared his throat and said, "Don't worry, Master Chen will never treat his brothers unfairly! As long as you do your job well, you can have a good meal, the best fish and meat, and even the pretty girls in the Jiaofang Bureau can play with you as you like!"

"In the last demon case, the brothers not only got credit, but also had Hua Fu from Qingya Zhai to accompany them. That feeling...tsk tsk."

Everyone knows about this.

Those guys showed off a lot at the beginning, which really made them jealous.

Seeing Chen Mo's calm face, everyone felt relieved and started to eat.

Although I still can't figure out the temper of this new centurion, it seems like it would be a good idea to follow him?

……

After eating and drinking, everyone left the restaurant and headed towards the county government office.

Linglan County Government Office is located in the center of the county, surrounded by tall brick and stone walls. The vermilion gate is embedded with copper nails. Two majestic stone lions squat on both sides of the gate, making it look quite imposing.

A group of officials gathered in the Yaqian Square.

The short county magistrate was adjusting his official robes and asked, "Are you sure it's the Tianlin Guards who are here?"

The gatekeeper nodded and said, "The red blood horse, the black scale robe, and the waist badge, they can't be wrong."

Fu Nansong frowned slightly.

At this critical juncture, it must be about the missing case.

This case has caused a lot of commotion recently, with more and more people going missing. The imperial inspection is imminent, and Linglan County, as a subordinate prefecture or county, will also have to undergo assessment by the Ministry of Personnel.

The case has not been solved yet, and he, as the county magistrate, cannot escape blame.

"I hope they are really here to solve the case, instead of just making a quick buck and running away..."

Thinking of the Tianlin Guard's notorious reputation of plundering people and sucking their marrow out of them, Fu Nansong felt a little uneasy.

Da da da--

At this time, the sound of hurried horse hooves rang out.

Looking up, several figures came into view.

The man in the lead had an upright figure, sword-like brows and bright eyes, and the fierce horse under his crotch was as fierce as a red cloud stepping on the snow. He looked like a rich and noble young man in fur coats and on a horse.

So handsome!

Fu Nansong secretly praised and quickly walked up to him.

Everyone pulled the reins and dismounted.

Qin Shou stood beside Chen Mo and said, "This is Captain Chen, who has come here specifically for the missing persons case."

"Hundred households?!"

The officials were shocked when they heard this.

I thought it would be great to have a general flag, but it turned out to be a sixth-rank centurion who came in person?

And such a young centurion...how exaggerated must his background be?

Fu Nansong lowered his body even lower, and said with a bow, "I am Fu Nansong, your humble servant. I greet Master Chen! Your Excellency must have traveled a long way, so I prepared some wine to welcome you..."

"No need."

Chen Mo interrupted, "We are here to investigate a case, not to go on vacation. We are here to find out the details of the case."

Fu Nansong was slightly stunned.

Why didn't this Master Chen play by the rules? Normally, he shouldn't eat and take at the same time, and then discuss the case at the end... But he didn't dare to question it, and raised his hand to signal, "Master, please come in."

Walk through the ceremonial gate and into the court.

Chen Mo sat in the first seat, and the lawyer placed the case file that had been prepared long ago on the desk.

I flipped it open and saw detailed information of all the missing persons.

"About three months ago, people started to disappear in the city."

"At first, I didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it was just an isolated incident. But as time went on, the number of missing people increased, especially this month, with someone reporting the case almost every one or two days."

"The entire county was turned upside down, and even the surrounding barren mountains were searched, but there was no sign of anyone alive or dead..."

Fu Nansong looked very unhappy.

The imperial examination was approaching and he was under a lot of pressure. He hadn't slept well for several nights in a row.

With the help of his powerful spiritual sense, Chen Mo read through all the case files quickly, reading ten lines at a glance, and made detailed comparisons in his mind.

There is almost no connection between the missing persons. Some are peddlers, while others are daughters of wealthy families.

There were no witnesses and no traces left, as if it had just evaporated into thin air.

There is no pattern at all, it looks like a completely random crime.

Chen Mo frowned.

This kind of case is very troublesome. There is no breakthrough and we can only wait for the other party to strike again.

But Linglan County is too large, and it is now the fishing season, so the city is bustling with people, and it is extremely difficult to find any clues.

After reading the case file, Li Yuan speculated, "Could it be a monster eating people?"

Chen Mo shook his head and said, "If it's just for the sake of eating people, why does it have to be in Linglan County? It won't be good for it if things get out of hand... unless there's a reason why it has to stay here."

Suddenly, a long neighing of horses was heard outside the yamen.

Tread-tap-

There were dense footsteps, and more than a dozen black-robed policemen walked into the court.

The leader was a man in a pink robe, holding a folding fan in his hand. His face was snow-white and his makeup was more delicate than that of the women.

The lieutenant standing beside him said arrogantly, "Where is the county magistrate? The captain of the Binghuo Division has arrived in person, but why hasn't he come out to greet him?"

? !
Another centurion?
Fu Nansong was stunned. How could one case alarm two great gods?
He stood there in a daze for a moment and even forgot to go forward to greet him.

Qiu Longgang frowned and was about to lose his temper, but when he looked up, he saw a familiar figure sitting in the middle of the court.

He is dressed in black and has black hair, and is extremely handsome. With his back against a picture of the rising sun over the sea, and beside him standing a heroic female swordsman, he exudes a solemn and awe-inspiring majesty.

"Chen Mo?!"

Qiu Longgang's eyes darkened slightly, "Why are you here?"

Chen Mo didn't even raise his eyelids, "Of course it's the case."

Qiu Longgang's face turned even colder, and his voice was sharp, "The deputy commander has ordered that the case be taken over by the Binghuo Division. Do you still want to overstep your authority?!"

Chen Mo sneered, "You keep talking about the deputy captain...Qiu Longgang, are you working for the court or for the deputy captain?"

Qiu Longgang's face changed.

This is really heartbreaking!

"Don't try to change the concept!"

"The Tianlin Guard must strictly follow the orders of their superiors. You deliberately disobeyed and refused to obey orders, so you will be flogged..."

Before Qiu Longgang finished his words, a black light flashed by and hit the door frame with a "bang".

He turned his head and his pupils suddenly shrank!
It was a completely dark black token, with the relief of the Qilin clearly visible on it!

It’s actually the Qilin Order!

Chen Mo said calmly: "Do you know who your superior is now?"

"..."

Qiu Longgang fell silent.

The Qilin Order is the symbol of a thousand households, how could it be in the hands of a hundred households like him?
Jian Yinshan never said that he had such a strong backing!

Cursing inwardly, Qiu Longgang no longer insisted, knowing that things were hopeless. He snorted, "Chen Mo, you are so cruel! Let's go..."

"Wait, who asked you to leave?"

Chen Mo hooked his finger, as if teasing a puppy, and said, "Give me the token."

Qiu Longgang clenched his teeth, a hint of anger on his face.

But he still took the Qilin Order from the door frame, walked over with a twisted waist, and placed it on the table.

Chen Mo played with the token in his hand and said, "Since you are here, then stay and cooperate with me in investigating the case. You will lead people to patrol the city tonight and report any abnormalities in time."

"..."

Qiu Longgang finally understood.

Not only does this guy want to steal the case, he also wants him to work for nothing!

"Chen Mo, don't bully others too much..."

"Ok?"

Seeing that he was about to throw the token again, Qiu Longgang choked up and said in a muffled voice: "Okay, got it."

"Do a good job, I'm optimistic about you."

Chen Mo nodded in satisfaction, stood up and led his people away. Qiu Longgang's face turned pale with anger, but he had no choice but to sit on the public chair, unfold his folding fan and fan himself vigorously.

"What do you mean by cooperating with the case? It's clearly a personal vendetta!"

"You stinky man, you are so petty... Where is the county magistrate?"

Fu Nansong responded quickly, "I am here, sir, do you want to see the file?"

Qiu Longgang put his hands on his waist and said unhappily, "What the hell are you looking at? I've been running all the way here and I don't even have a cup of tea. Is this how you treat guests in Linglan County?"

Fu Nansong: “…”

……

Everyone walked out of the county government gate.

Li Yuan was a little curious about where Chen Mo got the Qilin Order, but since there were other people present, he didn't ask much and said, "Qiu Longgang probably won't cooperate well. He will probably just do it perfunctorily."

Chen Mo shook his head and said, "It's just to disgust that dead demon. I didn't expect him to... Call a few yamen runners and go to the missing person's home first."

"Yes."

Under the leadership of the yamen constable, everyone split up and visited the city.

It was not until it was completely dark that they gathered again at Yaqian Square.

As expected, nothing was gained.

There were still about half of the families left, and as they were far away from the city, they had to go back to the restaurant to rest and continue the investigation tomorrow.

……

Zuixianju.

Following the waiter to the second floor, Chen Mo pushed the door and walked into the room.

The room was clean and tidy, with wine and food on the table. Two buckets of hot water were thoughtfully prepared with fireweed added to keep the water temperature at the right level.

The bed was quite spacious, with two pillows, but only one quilt.

Chen Mo found it a little funny.

This shopkeeper is quite thoughtful.

Seeing Li Yuan standing at the door and not coming in, Chen Mo raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why, General Li plans to stand guard outside the door tonight?"

"..."

Li Yuan was a little hesitant.

Although the two had "slept" together, that was a complete accident...

"When performing official duties outside, it is inevitable to encounter various situations. What's the point of being shy?" She secretly encouraged herself in her heart and walked into the room.

The next moment, his face suddenly turned red.

I saw that Chen Mo had taken off his black official robe and was about to take off the white lining underneath.

"What are you doing?!" Li Yuan looked flustered.

"Of course I took a shower." Chen Mo frowned and said, "What else do you think?"

"..."

Li Yuan bit her lips lightly.

How could this person be so carefree, as if she didn't exist!
Chen Mo pulled the screen next to him and placed it between the two buckets, forming two separate "bathrooms".

"That's enough, so that General Li won't peek at me taking a bath."

Li Yuan spat, "Bah, who wants to peek at you..."

But then again, she had already seen everything she needed to see before she went up to slay the demon...

There was a rustling sound from behind the screen, and then the sound of something falling into the water, accompanied by a comfortable sigh.

Li Yuan couldn't help but be moved.

After a day of hard work and a long journey, I was exhausted and felt a little uncomfortable.

"It's better now, if I wait until he finishes washing, I won't be able to wash anymore..."

Li Yuan hesitated for a moment and reached out to unbutton his clothes.

The clothes slipped off, revealing the white and delicate skin.

Her legs were long and straight, her waist was slender like a weeping willow, her curves were proudly straight, and there was no flaw to be found.

Because of years of martial arts training, she has a tight figure without a trace of fat, but she has a plump and voluptuous feel.

Lift your long legs and step into the bathtub.

Li Yuan squinted his eyes comfortably, and the warm water quickly took away his fatigue.

Taking a shower in the same room with a man... In the past, this would have been a fantasy for her, but now it was actually happening.

Apart from feeling shy, I didn't feel much rejection.

It seemed that ever since Chen Mo spanked me, everything was developing in an unpredictable direction...

……

Chen Mo soaked in the bathtub, his spiritual awareness covering the surroundings.

After the breakthrough of "Taishang Qingxin Mantra", the soul power became more condensed and the perception range was further improved, almost covering the entire block.

What surprised him was that Qiu Longgang actually led people to patrol the city.

"Lord Qiu, do we have to be so serious? Just deal with it casually." said the general flag on the side.

Qiu Longgang rolled his eyes at him and said in a tender voice, "You know nothing! I just want to solve the case before him and give him a slap in the face!"

If you don’t steam the steamed buns, you’ll lose your breath.

He originally came here for the reward, but ended up getting pissed off by Chen Mo.

I was secretly competing with myself in my heart, wanting to see how capable this Captain Chen, who had solved many major cases, was!

Chen Mo's mind was soaring in the sky, chanting the "Taishang Qingxin Mantra". The world seemed to have turned into particles of various colors, and a colorful aura was reflected in his eyes.

This is soul power.

Most ordinary people's color is light white, warriors' color is slightly more solid, and Qiu Longgang's color is light red, which should be related to his awakened martial spirit.

At this moment, a faint light seemed to flash on the street corner in the distance.

It was fleeting, but Chen Mo still captured it keenly.

His spiritual consciousness quickly followed, but he found that it was a dead end and there was no trace of anything.

"what?"

……

in the room.

Li Yuan scooped up some clean water and washed his body.

Chen Mo was very quiet the whole time, which made her nervous heart calm down a lot.

"Chen Mo, you can sleep on the bed for a while, I can just meditate beside you."

"..."

"By the way, how did you solve the demon clan case? You never told me before."

"..."

"Hmph, forget it if you don't want to talk about it..."

"Actually, when I first heard that you were going to work at Dinghuo Division, I was quite happy."

"Although you are a bit absurd and always like to take advantage of me, I still like you... I like working cases with you..."

Li Yuan's voice became softer and softer as he spoke, and his face felt slightly hot.

However, Chen Mo did not respond from beginning to end.

"Chen Mo...Chen Mo?"

Li Yuan sensed something was wrong and reached out to pull open the screen.

Chen Mo was seen sitting quietly in the bathtub, motionless, with no reaction to any movement from the outside world.

"He's still breathing, and he's not pretending to be asleep. It's like he's out of his mind..."

"Is it amnesia?!"

Li Yuan had heard of this disease.

Some people appear to be physically normal, yet they seem to be in a deep sleep, with all five senses lost and unconscious, and they may never wake up in their entire life!
Thinking of this, she suddenly became anxious and no longer cared about the difference between men and women. She stood up from the bathtub and reached out to grab Chen Mo's arm.

The true energy entered the body and circulated around. After confirming that there was nothing abnormal, he was immediately disappointed.

It can’t be that the soul is really damaged!

At this moment, all the cases were put behind his mind, and Li Yuan just wanted to take him back to Tiandu City immediately.

Chen Mo has the Qilin Order with him, maybe the adults in Qilin Pavilion will have a solution!

Li Yuan leaned down, put his arms through Chen Mo's armpits, and tried to lift him out of the bathtub.

At this moment, Chen Mo slowly opened his eyes.

Everything in front of his eyes was white, and he felt suffocated and couldn't breathe.

?

Chen Mo reached out and patted Li Yuan on the shoulder.

"Ok?"

Li Yuan froze and slowly lowered his head.

Eyes facing each other.

Chen Mo: “Woo woo woo!”

Li Yuan: “…”
