Chapter 176 Making a Move?

The servant followed Mei Yanyu's gaze, and at that moment, Li Musheng raised an eyebrow and glanced sideways in the direction where Mei Yanyu was.

Upon seeing this, Mei Yanyu and the servant behind him immediately and subtly averted their gaze.

Li Musheng narrowed his eyes slightly. Well, someone is jealous of his looks again.

"Not only that, Hu Ruian and his group are very suspicious. Hasn't Elder Mu noticed that the ghosts in the Tianjinwei branch haven't made a move yet?"

Mei Yanyu appeared to be casually searching around, but secretly continued to transmit his thoughts.

Upon hearing this, the servant frowned, pondered for a moment, and then replied:

“This matter is indeed unusual. I have been keeping an eye on the Tianjin Guard branch for the past few days, but I have not been able to find any clues. The three of them have obviously provoked those ghosts and demons, yet they have survived until now. There must be a reason that we do not know.”

"However, we can wait and see for a while and see if they will run into trouble today?"

Mei Yanyu pondered for a moment, glanced at Hu Ruian and the others, and then nodded.

Hu Ruian and the other two were not as familiar with the details of the haunting incident at the Tianjin Guard branch as Mei Yanyu was.

Therefore, they were unaware that the pattern of those ghostly murders was that they usually acted before noon.

They remained anxious throughout, but the tedious work of investigating the case distracted them most of the time, so they were not worried at all, but rather seemed quite calm.

Time flew by, and because the four major martial arts families were besieging the Murong family, there were hardly any people on the streets of the city today.

Li Musheng and his group stayed almost entirely in the prefectural government office until dusk, when the more than one hundred corpses were finally examined and recorded by the coroner and the Six Doors (a government agency), and then transported to the mortuary for temporary storage.

The investigation of all traces in the government office has been completed, and the Murong family has undoubtedly been identified as the prime suspect in this murder case.

However, due to the current special circumstances of the Murong family, Yao Lingyuan, the chief constable of the Six Doors, has no intention of seeking out the other party for the time being.

"Your Highness, you have been supervising our officials today and they have worked hard. Why don't you come with me to the Six Doors for some tea and snacks?"

After finishing his work, Yao Lingyuan approached Li Musheng and offered suggestions in a solicitous manner.

Upon hearing this, Li Musheng snapped out of his thoughts about revising the Azure Dragon and Azure Darkness Scripture.

During this period, although he was ostensibly in charge of supervising the three parties as a prince, he actually didn't care much about the matter and basically left it to Hu Ruian to handle.

Li Musheng had been quietly perfecting the Azure Dragon Azure Nether Scripture. Through continuous deduction, he had previously discovered that if the Azure Dragon Azure Nether Scripture were modified according to his certain ideas, it seemed possible to absorb the special power in the blood of the Qilin.

Li Musheng had consumed the blood of the Qilin and knew that it was indeed quite domineering, and ordinary people simply could not withstand it.

He also used brute force to forcibly absorb the power from the Qilin blood. If the Azure Dragon Azure Nether Scripture were improved, it would allow him to easily absorb both Azure Dragon True Qi and Qilin blood at the same time, which would seem like a good option.

Therefore, Li Musheng has been working hard in this direction these days. Since the Azure Dragon Azure Nether Scripture is an extremely rare divine skill, its contents are very exquisite and profound, and its flaws are relatively few.

Li Musheng found it much easier to improve his martial arts than to create them himself, and he has made considerable progress in the past few days.

"no need."

Li Musheng waved his hand, declining Yao Lingyuan's suggestion, while a clear look of regret flashed across the other's face. This top-notch chief constable was quite capable in solving cases, but his connections were lacking, which was why he had never been able to be transferred to the capital.

Now that he had a rare opportunity to connect with the Eighth Prince of Dali, he naturally wanted to seize it. However, Li Musheng clearly didn't give him much of a chance.

Meanwhile, seeing that the matter at the government office had come to an end and that it was already dusk, Shen Anran and Murong Xiaoya prepared to leave.

Today, Shen Anran has been pondering the Deer-Slaying Saber Technique that Li Musheng taught her last night. Although Li Musheng only taught her a few moves, it is enough for her to comprehend for quite some time.

Although Murong Xiaoya said she wasn't worried about the Murong family, she was clearly still somewhat uneasy, especially since the Six Doors and Tianjin Guard had labeled the Murong family as the prime suspects in the murder case that killed more than a hundred people in the government office.

Her worries grew stronger, and several times she felt restless and wanted to return to the Murong family. However, remembering Murong Hong's instructions, she finally stayed and stayed by Li Musheng's side.

"gone."

At this moment, Li Musheng glanced at Hu Ruian and the others, and called out to them.

Upon hearing this, Shen Anran quickly followed, while Murong Xiaoya was clearly also eager to get started.

Hu Ruian, Wu Shang, and Cheng Zhong exchanged glances. After finishing all the work on the case at the government office, the three of them seemed to have finally remembered the fear of being dominated by that ghost.

However, their doubts have only deepened now.

They discovered that the rumors about the Tianjin Guard being haunted seemed to be wrong, as they hadn't seen any ghosts or monsters all day.

And they are still alive and well. Not only do the three of them show no signs of hanging, but they have also been busy all day without seeing a single ghost.

Although nothing was wrong, Hu Ruian frowned, his expression shifting uncertainly.

He quickly instructed Wu Shang and the other man to pull the carriage, while he glanced around and finally headed in the direction of Mei Yanyu.

Seeing Hu Ruian walking towards him, Mei Yanyu's expression was extremely strange.

He spent almost the entire day in the prefectural government office in this city. Was his purpose related to a case in the government office?
Of course not, or rather, this was only a small part of the reason, since the death of Governor Zhu Ziming had nothing to do with him.

Even if the other party had some connection with the Mei family, all evidence and traces had been destroyed before Hu Ruian and the others arrived. Even if they investigated thoroughly, they wouldn't be able to find anything.

Although Mei Yanyu was also puzzled as to why Zhu Ziming was killed, he naturally wouldn't pay too much attention to someone who was already dead and had no value.

The reason he stayed in the government office from morning until dusk was actually because his main purpose was to find Hu Ruian and the other two.

He simply wanted to see the ghost appear and make a move, attacking Hu Ruian and his companions in front of so many people in the government office, so that they could perhaps take the opportunity to gather more information about the ghost.

But to Mei Yanyu's surprise, after standing there for so long, he hadn't seen a single ghost, let alone made a move.

Previously, he noticed that the ghost had not appeared by noon, which broke the pattern of its killings, but he felt that it would definitely make its move in the afternoon.

However, he was clearly overthinking it.
