I was just solving crimes, how could I become an immortal?

Chapter 13 Ying Tinder

Cao An followed Monk Sanyang's gaze and looked at the entrance of an alley.

There, dozens of people had gathered there, seemingly arguing about something.

The most eye-catching thing among them is a woman with a fiery beauty.

The woman's eyebrows are like a painting, her cheeks are outlined in ink, and her long black hair with a few strands of red is randomly scattered on her red dress like a waterfall, like a fire lotus in the dark night, blooming aloofly.

However, the woman seemed to be facing some difficulties now. Facing the questions from around her, the corners of the woman's eyes gradually turned a sinister red.

If what is expected is true, this is what Monk Sanyang said, if you get angry, you will go on a killing spree.

"Hurry over and help."

When their colleagues were challenged, the two men stepped forward without hesitation.

The woman looked back and immediately spotted Sanyang wearing a felt hat. She said with surprise on her face: "Monk, why are you here? Great, help me argue with these people, they are slandering me."

The woman pointed at the person who made things difficult and complained, her expression and tone really resembled that of a young girl, completely different from the evil look she had a second ago.

There is definitely something weird about this woman! Cao An made his judgment immediately.

Of course, now is not the time to study a woman's character. Cao An turned to look at the group of troublemakers, good guy, this world is really small!
  It had been less than two days since Cao An traveled here and he knew only a handful of people.

But he actually knew the person in front of him. He was none other than the well-known person of the Imperial City Department: Pang Shi.

Perhaps because he was wearing official uniform at this moment, Pang Shi no longer looked like he was carefree last night, but he was serious about enforcing the law impartially.

"It turns out to be the Sanyang Banner Master and Cao An! You came just in time. A serial murder occurred here. Your Tsing Yi Department must give an explanation."

As soon as he finished speaking, a system prompt sounded in Cao An's ears.

"The mystery is discovered, the detective system is activated!"

"Trigger case: Vampire City."

"Case description: A series of murders suddenly appear in the ghost city. If you find the murderer, you will receive a detective reward."

……

The case was triggered so fast that Cao An didn't even react.

After looking around for a while, I found the body of a victim among the crowd of onlookers. The ghost market was really chaotic.

"I didn't kill that man. I don't even know him. Why kill him?" Tinder said, crossing his hands on his chest and looking away, not wanting to get entangled with Pang Shi at all.

Unfortunately, this excuse did not satisfy Pang Shi at all. The people from the Imperial City Department insisted on not retreating, and the situation was frozen for a while.

Seeing this, Monk Sanyang took a step forward to block Tinder, and performed a Buddhist salute with one palm: "Amitabha, Donor Pang is so arrogant, and his false ostentation has made you completely ignore the essence of this case."

Seeing Sanyang coming forward to reason, Cao An also smiled reassuringly.

After all, he is a monk, and he carries a kind of upright majesty. Thinking about the Buddha's intention that he kept insisting on along the way, now that Sanyang comes forward, it is not easy to convince the other party.

Sure enough, when he heard the monk talking about the essence of the case, Pang Shi hesitated slightly, frowned and asked, "What is the essence of what you are talking about?"

"Of course the essence is: It's just a few people who died, it's not a big deal, how about we just get over it?"

Cao An:......

Is this how you Buddhists view nature? You weren't expelled from Buddhism for breaking the precepts, and you came to Tsing Yi Department to become a bandit, right?
  But Pang Shi actually accepted this proposal that was so inconsiderate to human life.

"Indeed, the ghost market is not a peaceful place to begin with. I find it strange if a few people don't die every day. Logically speaking, the tinder flag owner of the Tsing Yi Department should give some face." "Then what's the point now? "

"That's what I mean above. Unfortunately, three of the victims have unusual identities. The things they have on them must be handed over."

Living in troubled times, people are like grass and grass.

Especially those who come to hang out in this ghost market are mostly shady people. No one will feel sorry for them if they die. As long as they don't cause any big commotion, the Imperial City Division doesn't bother to care.

But this time it was different. Among the dead, three were doing dirty work for the court.

When people die, they die, goods, you must stay.

"I didn't kill people, let alone get goods! If you keep pestering me, don't blame me for being rude." Tinder's fighting spirit was high, and a cluster of flames shot up on his fist, ready to fight at any time.

As expected of the general's daughter, although she looks very pretty, her temper is as reckless as the others in the Tsing Yi Department.

If the Imperial City Division can be mobilized to investigate the case, I am afraid that the stolen goods are worth a lot of money, so how can they let them go so easily.

For the current plan, the only way to clear Tinder's name is to find out the truth of the case.

"Let me see the deceased." Cao An took the initiative to invite him, and Pang Shi naturally would not refuse.

After driving away the spectators, a few people squatted on the ground and began to check the condition of the deceased.

This is the first time that Cao An has observed a corpse at such a close range. Fortunately, he has experienced the drama of a madam turning into a hunk before, so his mental endurance has improved a lot, and he doesn't have stage fright.

But even though he was mentally prepared, Cao An was still shocked by the death of the man in front of him.

The deceased was a male, about 30 years old. His heart was pierced, and the wound looked like it had been burned by fire and was charred.

What's even more frightening is that this person's whole body is red, and the blood vessels under his skin seem to have been exploded. What kind of murder weapon is this that caused death?
  "It should be the [Burning Blood Palm]. Someone forced the blazing energy into the body of the deceased, causing the heart to shatter and die. Even the meridians and internal organs burned and exploded."

Beside him, came a very professional analysis of moves.

But Miss Tinder! You are a suspect now! You explained the moves in such detail, didn't you notice the wary looks around you?

Squatting beside the corpse in an unladylike manner, Tinder blinked her beautiful big eyes and looked over when she felt Cao An's gaze.

"Are you new here? Did they call you Cao An? My name is Ying Huorong, and we will be colleagues from now on."

Hearing this happy tone, he even stretched out his white and tender fist and placed it on the wound to make a sign, without any consciousness of being a suspect.

Cao An could only reply politely, "Take care of me", and then continued to study the corpse.

The face of the deceased looked ferocious, as if he had been tortured to death by this move that looked like [Blood Burning Palm] before he was alive.

But the deceased was dressed in short linen clothes and his identity was more like a coolie. Why would such a person attract persecution from experts?

Unable to figure out what was going on, Cao An decided to cheat. He pointed his finger at the forehead of the deceased and activated the skill [Please leave a last word].

The next second, everyone felt a gust of evil wind coming. The victim, who had been dead for a long time, suddenly opened his eyes, and his cloudy eyes widened as if he was still staring at death, which frightened everyone's heart.

Ying Huorong beside him said "Huh?" vaguely, and when he looked at Cao An, two clusters of sparks flashed in his eyes, and then disappeared again.

Cao An didn't notice anything unusual about Ying Huorong. After all, he himself was very frightened now.

It was the first time he used a skill, and Cao An had no experience. No one could bear the sudden glare he received.

But fortunately, the skill was activated successfully. In Cao An's mind, the angry roar of the deceased appeared:...
