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

Chapter 288 Investigating the Source
The early morning sun shines on the green leaves and flowers in the forest.

Compared to the bustling Shangjiang City, the territory of the Western Demon Clan is closer to nature...

Well, it's very, very close.

Because Red Fox had been away for ten years, her palace had long been broken down and was being repaired recently. Cao An could only temporarily live in a stone cave.

Originally, he was not a picky person, but this really couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the monsters!

The most intelligent man in mankind, the queen faces a strong competitor, the last hope to lift the mutation curse...

After all kinds of auras were cast on Cao An, he was surrounded by people...

Before dark, the monsters were making a lot of noise.

At night, they were quiet, and another group of jet-lagged little demons became active again.

I don't know if it was an owl or something else, but in the middle of the night, it stared at him with a pair of eyes as big as copper bells, filling the hole and staring at him all night long. From time to time, "coo coo coo" sounds came from his ears.

For example, when he was in Nanchu last time, the Huomei death method he discovered was a spell that overdraws the human body's potential. Even his [Silver Needle Poison Test] could not determine it as a toxin.

……

For this reason, he has sent a request for help to the Tsing Yi Department, hoping to dispatch Shui Qi to help. He doesn't know if this wish can be fulfilled in this life.

First of all, attacks by outsiders can be basically ruled out.

Secondly, targeted poisoning can also be ruled out.

Based on this, Cao An felt that the death of these cubs should be caused by interference from external special forces.

As a result, he became more awake...

There was even a faint sense of fullness of energy and blood, and the meat was still fresh even after a day of death.

There was no poison, no disease, no murderer, and he even died peacefully. What was the cause of death?

As the sun rose, Cao An reluctantly cheered up and returned to investigating the case.

"It can't be food." Red Fox gave the answer firmly.

There was no other way, so Cao An could only use the crudest elimination method and began to narrow down the scope of the investigation bit by bit.

The first thing to bear the brunt is food.

Forget about one or two cases, it’s really unreasonable to live as many as there are to die now.

The biggest problem is that the Western Territory is too big, and he has no helpers.

Such a large-scale change can only be something that everyone will be exposed to.

This case is more complicated than Cao An had expected.

Cao An performed an autopsy on Bunny's corpse yesterday. Although he was not a professional doctor, the internal organs were bright red and undamaged, and no signs of disease were seen.

After the red fox returns, the Immortal Grade Demon is so powerful that it is simply impossible to plot against the cub under her nose.

Cao An was caught in a dilemma.

Strangely, Cao An's [Night Owl] skill was activated and he began to learn animal language spontaneously.

"There are many types of monsters, including rock turtles that only eat soil, and Duoduo sheep that only eat bluesilver grass. There are too many types."

Mr. Mo had investigated the problem of food at the beginning. If he really wanted to poison, food would be the easiest way.

But this is not Shangjiang City, where everyone knows how to eat rice.

The food of the Monster Clan is diverse, and their preferences for meat and vegetables are all kinds of strange. Take the Rock Turtle, for example. It rarely moves around on weekdays. It just buries itself in the soil. When it is hungry, it can eat dirt by opening its mouth.

It can't be that the soil, plants, and meat in this entire Western Region are all poisonous, right?

"In that case, let's go see the water source." Cao An raised another possibility.

The food may be strange, but you must drink water. Hearing his suspicion, Red Fox directly captured King Yujiu without saying a word and used him as a mount for Cao An.

At first, this guy was reluctant. The last time we fought in Daxing, we beat him half to death and all his hair fell out.

But do you dare to have any objections to this thing with wings?
The red fox just shows its claws, and the wings with less meat are considered wings. If you dare to resist, you will be roasted!

Jue~~
Yujiu let out a long roar, and with the pride of a first-class monster, he fluttered his wings and lay down in front of Cao An, sticking his butt back, "Come on..."

Who wants your ass?
Cao An jumped onto the turtle's neck and said, "Take me along the river to the source area."

The dove was also unambiguous. It flapped its wings and soared across the border. For a moment, the mountains, rivers and rivers were all in sight. This western border has not been modified by humans, and the original scenery is so beautiful.

However, the situation only lasted for a short while. Cao An patted Yujiu's neck and signaled him to return.

When they returned to the gathering place, it was only an hour apart, and everyone looked a little confused.

"What's wrong? Cao An, aren't you going to check the water source? How long has it been? No matter how fast the bird is, it shouldn't be able to fly, right?"

"That's right! It's just because we can't fly, so we don't need to check." Cao An shrugged. He would give up on things that didn't work out as soon as possible. He would never do it forcefully.

"But you didn't check, how did you know there were no results?"

"Because this land in the West is too vast, and relying on water flow, it is impossible to infect the entire demon clan."

It is indeed a good modus operandi to put foreign objects in the water source and infect the drinker.
But don't forget, there are tens of millions of monsters in the Western Region, with many water sources, huge bodies, and dense branches, including countless lakes.

If there are too few foreign objects thrown in, the water source will be diluted quickly, and the monster's body can easily carry it through;
If there are too many foreign objects thrown in, it is impossible for the monsters under the water to remain unresponsive!
It is just a dream to infect the water source of the entire Western Territory without anyone noticing, so as to reach the level where the demon clan is unparalleled.

"How did the murderer infect the entire territory instead of poisoning the water?" Red Fox was also a little anxious.

She is a qualified demon king and understands sustainable development.

Seeing that all the tribes have been defeated, Red Fox has been forced to give in and has not eaten roasted wings for two whole meals. This life is really difficult.

If one day the phoenix really becomes extinct, the red fox will probably go crazy.

"Could it be that the fate of heaven mentioned by Mr. Mo is true? The Western Region is hopeless?" Su Se didn't want to question Cao An, but the situation in front of him was really hard to explain.

Is the existence of immortality seeds really a disaster?
"No, I was wrong, Cao An was right." Next to him, Mr. Mo's deep voice sounded.

Judging from his temples, they are much grayer than yesterday. He probably stayed up all night, immersed in thinking about Cao An's theory of heaven.

Fortunately, this person seemed to have figured it out, and there was a hint of relief in his eyes when he looked at Cao An.

"Your inference yesterday was correct. Heaven's destiny can neither punish evil nor bless believers. How can it be a mysterious theory? It is just a wisp of clouds in the vast sky and earth."

Mr. Mo looked at the sky with a satisfied smile on his face.

Why does this expression look a bit subtle?
"Are you okay? Calm down! Mr. Mo, you are still young, don't just ascend without thinking!" Everyone in Cao An tried to persuade him.

We just casually discussed some topics, but why do we feel so transcendent from this mortal world?
Mr. Mo waved his hands repeatedly: "There is no such thing as ascension, I just have some insights."

"What's the realization?"

"There are very few people in this world who dare to face destiny directly. Cao An, you are really extraordinary. If you really solve this case and ask for anything in the future, I [Mo Renxiang] will definitely help you."

Mr. Mo did not ascend, but his behavior at this moment made everyone even more confused.

Can Mr. Mo be convinced by just one case?
Do you admire Cao An's ability to solve crimes? Or is it because Mr. Mo has great feelings for the monster clan in the Western Region?
Is it a little unreasonable to suddenly make such a vow?

'No, maybe that makes sense? 'Cao An looked at Mr. Mo seriously, his eyes flashing.

He seems to have understood the meaning of the existence of [Ink Man Lane].

He smiled confidently: "Okay, then it's settled. If I solve this case, [Inkman Alley] will not be able to refuse anything I ask for in the future."

"No problem, but can you really solve the puzzle? It seems that you have been busy for two days and you have achieved nothing. Are you stuck at a bottleneck?"

"How is that possible? These two days have been fruitful. I have already locked the key to the case."
