Soon, the county constable reported the case file.

However, after listening, Xu Ye shook his head slightly.

What he said was not much different from what Xu Ye knew; there was no key information at all.

Xu Ye immediately said, "I heard there's still one survivor in this family?"

The county constable nodded slightly. "Yes, sir, there is indeed one."

"Where is he? I need to question him," Xu Ye said.

"Yes! I'll have someone bring him over immediately," the county constable replied.

Xu Ye nodded slightly.

The constable went down to look for the person.

Xu Ye then led Lin Yuyan and the others into the blacksmith shop.

The bodies inside have already been disposed of by the county government officials.

There was only bloodstains on the ground, but they had all dried by now.

But the bloodshed here is still evident.

Because you can occasionally see fragments of human internal organs.

Fortunately, Xu Ye and the others had all experienced killing, especially Xu Ye, who had killed people himself.

Therefore, they did not show any unusual discomfort in such a situation.

After a brief investigation, Xu Ye, Lin Yuyan, and the others did not find anything unusual.

Only some yellow hair was found in the area, and in addition to the pungent smell of blood, there was also a faint stench in the air.

The stench was nauseating.

"It seems the Demon Suppression Division's judgment was correct; the troublemaking demon is indeed a weasel," Xu Ye said calmly.

Lin Yuyan and Zhao Heng remained silent.

At this moment, the constable from the county government returned.

"My lord, the person has been brought here."

Xu Ye nodded slightly and immediately went out.

The place was so bloody that he naturally wouldn't let the victims in for questioning.

As soon as he stepped outside, Xu Ye saw the constables bringing in a young girl dressed in plain clothes.

She looked about seventeen or eighteen years old.

"Xiao Han!" Upon seeing the girl, Xu Ye took a deep breath and called out softly.

He knew every blacksmith shop.

The woman in front of them was Zhang Xiaohan, the blacksmith's daughter.

Zhang Xiaohan looked up and saw Xu Ye, and immediately burst into tears, "Brother Xu Ye!"

They're all on the same street, so they know each other well.

Moreover, she and Xu Zhizhi get along very well.

They became more familiar with each other.

Zhang Xiaohan's entire family is dead; now he's the only one left.

Now, when I see acquaintances, I can no longer pretend to be strong, and I burst into tears of grievance.

Xu Ye stepped forward and patted Zhang Xiaohan on the shoulder to comfort her.

After a while, Zhang Xiaohan calmed down and then noticed Xu Ye's clothes. His expression immediately changed.

"Brother Xu Ye, you...you're the Demon-Suppressing Guard who we're here to question?"

The constables from the county government just brought her here and said that the Demon Suppression Guard wanted to question her.

When she saw Xu Ye, she didn't notice this at first.

Now that I've calmed down, I was immediately taken aback.

Xu Ye actually became a Demon Suppressor?

Xu Ye nodded slightly, "We've left everything here to handle, so tell me anything you know from now on."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaohan did not hesitate at all and immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

"Brother Xu Ye! Lord Xu, you must avenge my parents! They died such a tragic death!"

Zhang Xiaohan spoke while crying, clearly in great distress.

Clearly, she had already seen his parents' remains.

Xu Ye quickly helped him up, saying, "What are you doing? Your parents were harmed by demons, it's only right that we avenge them. Get up."

"Thank you, Brother Xu Ye!" Zhang Xiaohan then stood up.

"Alright, what's with all the nonsense? Just tell me everything you know." Zhao Heng, standing to the side, was getting impatient.

Lin Yuyan glared at Zhao Heng. How could this guy be so heartless?

Immediately, she looked at Zhang Xiaohan and said, "Now that we're here, we'll definitely stand up for you. You need to tell us everything you know, understand?"

Zhang Xiaohan looked at Xu Ye with tears in her eyes, and Xu Ye nodded slightly.

Zhang Xiaohan then spoke softly, recounting what she knew.

It turned out that just last night, their family had finished making a batch of ironware for the Ma family in the south of the city, because the Ma family was in a hurry to do so.

Late at night, Zhang Xiaohan's father arranged for someone to deliver goods to the Ma family overnight.

Zhang Xiaohan went with the delivery team to check accounts, so she wasn't home.

When she returned, her house had already been sealed off by the county government officials.

Her parents and two older brothers all died tragically, and she was the only survivor.

She knew nothing else.

After Zhang Xiaohan finished speaking, Xu Ye and the others fell silent.

There's absolutely no useful information!

Xu Ye immediately asked, "Xiao Han, before the incident, did anything strange happen in your family, or among your family members?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaohan thought for a moment, then shook her head slightly, "Our family runs an honest business, and nothing strange has ever happened..."

She paused slightly, then said, "Oh, right! Something happened to my second brother, but I don't know if it's related to this."

"What's wrong?" Xu Ye asked.

Zhang Xiaohan hurriedly said, "Three days ago, my brother encountered an injured weasel on the way back from transporting a batch of ironware to Lijia Town outside the city. My second brother said that the weasel was pestering him and, feeling it was bad luck, he killed it directly."

"After we got back from this incident, my second brother specifically mentioned it to me."

Upon hearing this, Xu Ye's eyes lit up.

weasel?

Doesn't that make sense?

Weasels are known for holding grudges.

Once you get entangled, you're bound to face endless trouble.

What's more, it's a weasel that has become a demon?

At the time, it was only injured, and perhaps it saw Zhang's second brother and wanted him to treat it.

Who would have thought that Zhang's second brother would find it unlucky and beat him to death?

It would be fine if it were just killing an ordinary weasel.

But that's a weasel associated with demons, which is a different story.

Weasels are social creatures and they also hold grudges.

It would be strange if they didn't seek revenge.

No wonder they killed the Zhang family and ate all their internal organs; it was so cruel.

It seems that the Zhang family's tragic demise was a result of demonic revenge.

With that in mind, Xu Ye voiced his thoughts.

This immediately made Lin Yuyan look at him with new eyes.

Xu Ye is quite capable of analyzing the relationship between the events so simply.

She couldn't help but glance at Zhao Heng to the side.

This guy is wearing a veil and looks dull-witted. What kind of person does he look like?

"How could this happen?" Upon hearing Xu Ye's words, Zhang Xiaohan burst into tears.

She never imagined that her entire family would be killed so tragically.

It turned out that it was because his second brother had killed a weasel that had been bothering him.

"Sigh!" Xu Ye sighed softly.

Who would have thought that the Zhang family would encounter such a thing?

"Brother Xu Ye, you have to stand up for us!" Zhang Xiaohan looked at Xu Ye, her eyes filled with tears.

She was just a mortal, powerless against demons, and could only place her hopes on Xu Ye.
