I am a coroner, and I have some knowledge of martial arts!

Do you remember the legends about the Li River?

Sun Shouzhen did not answer Su Wuchen's question, but instead asked Su Wuchen a question instead.

Su Wuchen had known about the legends of the Li River since he was a child.

Legend has it that the Li River was formed by a great battle a million years ago. It wasn't that wide back then, but because so many people died, the blood flow eroded the riverbed.

And it's getting wider and longer.

The blood flowed through several states, creating countless lives in the river channels.

The most widely circulated and worshipped by countless ordinary people is the Lijiang Divine Dragon.

Legend has it that the Lijiang Divine Dragon evolved from a small red carp into a divine dragon hundreds of thousands of years ago after being cleansed and stained by the blood of many powerful beings.

The rumors are quite detailed, and many ordinary people have repeatedly confirmed that they have personally witnessed the dragon.

For this reason, a temple dedicated to the dragon was built outside Jiangcheng, where sacrifices were offered to the dragon every year to ensure that the dragon could sense the people's worship and bless the people of Jiangcheng with good weather and abundant harvests.

However, later, some powerful cultivators personally entered the Li River to investigate and proved that there was no divine dragon in the Li River, and the rumor gradually dissipated.

It was later passed down to the next generation as a story to comfort a child.

Su Wuchen looked at Sun Zhengqiang's corpse and said speechlessly, "Brother Sun, you don't actually think that a divine dragon would have any designs on Second Uncle, do you?"

This……

It's a bit outrageous that Mom opened the door for something so outrageous.

The dragon is a mythical creature. Not to mention how terrifying it is, just considering its size, it's impossible for it to leave such a fist-sized wound on Sun Zhengqiang.

Although the wound looks like it was caused by a sharp blade.

Sun Shouzhen shook his head. "Of course I don't believe it, but the guys who went fishing with my second uncle said they saw it."

Su Wuchen: "???"

Don't make trouble.

That's a dragon!

Once it appears, it won't just be visible to a few anglers.

"impossible."

Su Wuchen shook his head. "If a divine dragon really appears in the Li River, do you think the city lord and the others in Jiang City will be able to sit still?"

"Besides, how enormous is the dragon? Although the Li River is wide and a thousand or eight hundred meters deep, to the dragon, isn't it just a small stream?"

"I reckon even one of the dragon's claws is several times bigger than yours or mine!"

Sun Shouzhen nodded: "You're right, but those who went fishing with Second Uncle are absolutely certain of what they said."

"Therefore, I suspect that my second uncle was not killed by some divine dragon, but by some kind of demon that appeared at the bottom of the Lijiang River."

"A demon?"

Su Wuchen stroked his chin.

There is some explanation for this.

Although Jiangcheng is the territory of the Martial Alliance, disciples from immortal cultivation sects often pass through. It is not uncommon for those immortal cultivators to keep demonic pets or mounts.

"Could it be some kind of demon that escaped from the immortal cultivators and hid in the Li River, only to be discovered by them, leading them to believe it's the Li River Dragon?"

Su Wuchen shared his speculation and asked, "Did they witness Second Uncle being killed by a demon with their own eyes?"

No, not at all.

Sun Shouzhen shook his head. "They're just speculating."

Su Wuchen: "..."

That's very imaginative.

"If there really are demons in the Li River, I suggest you report it directly to the Investigation Department or the City Lord's Mansion. This kind of thing is no longer something that the government can handle."

As he spoke, Su Wuchen glanced at the corpse in the ice coffin. "I'd better give my second uncle a proper makeover first, so he can leave this world with some dignity."

"Okay, thank you for your help."

Why are we talking about this?

Su Wuchen shook his head. "Someone's come in. You should go and greet them."

"it is good."

[You touched the corpse of a martial artist and gained one-tenth of his cultivation.]

It's better than nothing, I suppose.

Su Wuchen put on gloves, took out his toolbox, and began to repair and renovate Sun Zhengqiang.

……

Temporary office of the Inspection Department.

Shangguan Yun rubbed his head and turned to look at Liu Rumian beside him, "Hasn't the office location issue been settled yet?"

Liu Rumin scoffed, "Every place has its own rules. You just come here, break the rules, set up a black market, and want to compete with Mingfeng Temple and Xunzhen Sword Sect for territory. Do you think they'll agree to that?"

Shangguan Yun sneered, "Seize territory? This is my martial arts alliance's territory. Giving them permission to establish their own sect is already giving them face!"

Liu Rumin couldn't help but sigh, "How can you expect the Inspection Department to stand firm like this?"

Shangguan Yun frowned and remained silent.

Liu Rumin pondered, "Why don't we change the location? We've already considered more than one place before."

"Isn't this just undermining our image?"

"You don't actually want to fight them, do you? Don't forget, the city lord doesn't concern himself with these trivial matters; he's focused on breaking through to the sixth rank."

Liu Rumin shrugged and continued, "Also, I just received news that some fishermen in the Lijiang branch seem to have discovered some kind of monster causing trouble in the Lijiang River."

"Um?"

Shangguan Yun frowned and looked over. "Are you sure it's a demon?"

Liu Rumin: "That's what they said anyway."

After thinking for a moment, Shangguan Yun said, "Tell Zhao Fei to investigate."

"he?"

"That kid has a strong constitution, comparable to a mid-stage eighth-rank martial artist. With Old Mo following along, there shouldn't be any problems."

Shangguan Yun casually asked, "Have you found out anything about Su Wuchen?"

Liu Rumian: "He's just a nominal ninth-rank martial artist, why are you so concerned about a coroner?"

Shangguan Yun shook his head. "I just think he's very strange."

"Be specific?"

"It's hard to say."

Liu Rumin chuckled; this guy was overthinking things again.

What's so strange about a ninth-rank martial artist?

If we have to find something unreasonable about it, it's that he likes playing video games and loves money?

But how could Liu Rumian know that Shangguan Yun felt pressure from Su Wuchen?

……

"Old Mo, what are we going to do on the Li River?"

"We heard that a demon has appeared in the Li River, and the boss wants us to go and take a look."

"Is there a demon in the Li River?"

Zhao Fei looked surprised.

If there were a demon in the Li River, it would have been discovered long ago, so why is it only showing itself now?

"Is it fake?"

"A few anglers saw it, and to avoid panic, they had to check it out first."

Old Mo had a lollipop in his mouth and looked nonchalant, but he actually possessed the strength of an eighth-grade master.

They are among the best in the Jiangcheng Inspection Division.

"You've just joined the Audit Department and don't know much about it."

Old Mo said with a smile, "Our Inspection Division doesn't just handle troublesome matters between cultivators. Many things that the government offices can't handle are done by our Inspection Division."

Zhao Fei patted his uniform and said, "Hey, I don't understand these things, but I do know that this official uniform is very shiny."

Even disciples of the immortal sects and Buddhist sects must treat the people from their Inspection Division with utmost respect.

How could the official uniforms of the Inspection Department not be eye-catching?
