So it turns out I'm the demon!

After making arrangements for the Chu family father and daughter, Jiang Mu took some sample medicinal herbs and went to the Demon Slayer Division to report the matter.

Chu Lingzhu's concerns were not without merit.

If someone with ulterior motives uses this batch of medicinal herbs to make a fuss and accuses him of "selling evil medicines," it will be troublesome.

It's better to let Ran Qingshan know in advance than to be caught off guard.

However, halfway there, Jiang Mu's pace gradually slowed down.

An idea popped into my head.

Ran Qingshan was determined to find the mole, but what if the old man himself was the biggest mole?

Is the scenario of a thief crying "stop thief!" rare throughout history?

The pig demon had previously stated that its "master" had planted more than one pawn in Huzhou City, which played a crucial role during the fog demon invasion.

Jiang Chen didn't actually play a significant role, otherwise he wouldn't have been silenced.

If that's the case, then who is the real key figure?

Thinking about it this way, everyone in the Demon Slayer Division is suspicious.

Jiang Mu hesitated for a moment.

The question is, which important figure in the city now has sufficient status and is trustworthy?

A cool and elegant figure suddenly appeared in my mind.

Sure enough, watermelons are the best at keeping things ripe!

It's much safer to talk to Sister Ling than to go to that old fox Ran Qingshan.

Having made up her mind, Jiang Mu decisively changed direction and headed towards the post station.

Just two streets past, Jiang Mu ran into an acquaintance.

Xu Fuzheng was leading a group of men, gathered in front of a courtyard, discussing something with serious expressions.

"What's wrong, Lao Xu?" Jiang Mu asked as he stepped forward.

Xu Fu turned around and saw that it was Jiang Mu. He gestured with his lips to indicate that someone had reported that many monsters had died inside, all of them weasels.

weasel?

Jiang Mu's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously made a connection to something.

He walked into the courtyard.

All that could be seen on the ground were broken limbs and remains. Although it was difficult to make out the whole picture, the fur color and claw shape were undoubtedly those of a weasel.

As he approached, wisps of black energy escaped from the corpse and flowed into the demonic tank.

It seems these monsters died not long ago.

Jiang Mu was in a good mood.

The battery was almost dead, so I recharged it.

"Have you found out who did it?" Jiang Mu asked. "That's ruthless; it must be a psychopath."

Xu Fu shook his head:

"We don't know. We've asked the neighbors, and they all said they didn't hear any fighting. This means the killer killed these monsters in a very short time, indicating extremely high cultivation."

He paused, then continued:

"The Inspector has also arrived and is currently inspecting the scene in the inner room."

Ling Ye is here too?

Jiang Mu was overjoyed and walked towards the main house.

Upon entering the house, one sees a beautiful figure crouching in front of the mutilated corpse.

Because she was in a half-squatting position, the woman's black tight-fitting outfit was stretched taut without any room for error, suddenly tightening along her waistline and then surging up like waves along her hip bones.

Just one glance was enough to make me want her to raise tadpoles.

"It's Huang Dalang."

Ling Ye didn't turn around, clearly having heard Jiang Mu's voice outside the courtyard earlier.

"It really is her!"

Even after her suspicions were confirmed, Jiang Mu was still very surprised.

One moment he was on guard against this vixen seeking revenge for her brother, and the next he was dead.

This turn of events happened far too quickly.

He walked forward and saw that Huang Dalang on the ground only had his upper body left, with his demon core embedded in his shattered sternum.

"The demon core is still there..."

Jiang Mu frowned. "What's their motive? Revenge killing?"

If it were for money or treasure, there would be no reason to let go of such a precious demon core.

He subconsciously pried out the demon core.

"This is the territory of the Seventh Hall."

Ling Ye glanced at him and said calmly, "According to the regulations, the corpses and demon cores of unclaimed demons belong to the relevant department."

"I'll just take a look."

After absorbing the demonic energy, Jiang Mu was about to put the demon core back.

You can pretend you didn't see it.

Ling Ye spoke again.

Sister Ling gave him special treatment again... Jiang Mu smiled and put the demon core back next to the corpse.

After all, he and Lao Xu had a good relationship, so he wouldn't take advantage of the situation.

If it were Wenhe's other thing, he wouldn't even leave a hair on his head.

Seeing this, Ling Ye didn't say anything, but said in a deep voice:

"An absolute master. The remaining killing intent is intertwined with the art of cause and effect; his cultivation level... is at least the eighth realm."

"Eight Realms!?"

Jiang Mu gasped, "Besides General Shangguan, is there anyone else like this in Huzhou City?"

Ling Ye shook his head: "I don't know. Perhaps it's a reclusive master passing by, or perhaps it's a powerful demon of the eighth rank or above. I'll have Luo... have General Shangguan investigate later."

Only Luo Xue can accurately sense demons of this level.

Jiang Mu was secretly alarmed.

They were initially worried about being retaliated against by Huang Dalang, but unexpectedly, the threat disappeared.

Now only Wong Tai Sin remains.

However, Ran Qingshan said that the old demon was severely injured by the governor of Yunzhou and would not dare to show his face in the short term.

In that case, I am safe.

"What are you doing here?" Ling Ye stared at him with her beautiful eyes.

Jiang Mu looked around to make sure no one was listening, then whispered to the other person about the medicinal herbs and handed over a sample.

Ling Ye took the medicinal herbs, glanced at them, and his expression immediately turned serious:

"Corpse orchids are extremely sinister and are usually only used to raise demons or to refine forbidden evil pills. If the quantity is really as large as you say, it is no small matter."

"So I plan to fish, and wait for the person who wants to pick up the goods to walk into my trap."

A glint of light flashed in Jiang Mu's eyes.

"However, I'm worried that the mastermind behind this might send a low-level henchman to test the waters. To avoid alerting them, I'll secretly follow them first."

"Yes, it's best to be cautious."

Ling Ye hesitated for a moment, then took out a neatly folded, pure white silk handkerchief from his bosom and handed it to him.

"I have important business to attend to these few days, so you may have a hard time finding me. If you sense something is wrong, open this handkerchief."

I will sense it immediately and come immediately. Remember, do not open it unless it is an emergency.

Is this handkerchief also a communication device?

Jiang Mu took it with a puzzled look. It was soft and warm to the touch, and still had body heat.

He subconsciously held it to his nose and sniffed it lightly.

Ok……

The smell of chamomile.

Ling Ye caught a glimpse of the other party's action out of the corner of his eye, and his originally cold expression instantly crumbled, almost causing him to explode on the spot.

You smell my ass!

What's there to smell!

Do you want me to press your head against my chest and let you smell it to your heart's content?!

She resisted the urge to snatch the handkerchief back and snapped, "Remember! Never open it unless it's an emergency!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

Outside the courtyard gate, Xu Fu was analyzing the case with his subordinates.

Seeing Ling Ye emerge, he hurriedly greeted him with a fawning smile: "Your Excellency, is the murderer—"

"If you don't know, go find out for yourself!"

Ling Ye coldly tossed out a sentence and walked straight out of the courtyard gate.

The crowd fell silent, hurriedly making way.

Xu Fu looked helpless: "This inspector is always like this. I've never seen him be gentle with anyone. He's a total ice block."

Seeing Jiang Mu come out of the house, Xu Fu felt very sorry for her.

This guy must have had a tough time being in the same room as the Inspector just now.

Oh, poor child.

-

Across the bustling street.

He Shuangying looked up at the plaque of "Rejuvenating Pharmacy," then looked down at the wooden sign in his hand, muttering to himself:

"This is it."

"I just don't know if that shipment is here?"

His gaze swept over a pretty and lively figure inside the shop, and his eyes lit up slightly.

What a pretty little girl.

Such a pure and lively temperament is truly rare among those ordinary women.

pity.

He is only interested in oddly shaped small animals.

He has absolutely no interest in normal women.

I heard that a new blue-eyed lizard has been bred at home; I might as well go back and try it out.

Although he wasn't interested, he figured he could easily win over the girl with his charm.

He Shuangying straightened his clothes, a confident and charming smile appeared on his lips, and strode over.

While crossing the road, I nearly bumped into a fisherman.

"unlucky."

He Shuangying frowned and dusted off his sleeves, afraid of getting them stained with fish, but his gaze involuntarily fell on the fishing net in the other person's hand.

A fish in the net was barely breathing.

He Shuangying inexplicably thought of that little fish.

I remember when we were deeply in love, he jokingly said that he wanted to be a pair of star-crossed lovers who would live and die together.

Now, Xiaoyuer has been killed by Jiang Mu.

What about him?
