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

Chapter 52 How many people died in this case?

"She is the murderer! Get her to report to the police!"

"Isn't this Tsing Yi Department just an official? Go directly to them."

"But to me, they seem to be in the same group."

"That's not certain. Look at that girl. Just now she was cursing the officer to death."

To be honest, Cao An doesn't hate children. The person in front of him is probably about 8-9 years old. He only reaches his chest. He is wearing a black robe and looks very small.

At this moment, when he raised his head, his pink and jade-carved face, coupled with his crystal-like fluorescent eyes, was very cute.

It was this expressionless and indifferent face that made people scared. As soon as they met, he gave Cao An a 'friendly' greeting.

"You are the next to die."

"..."

"Thank you for telling me the good news."

"You're welcome."

The girl obviously has a cute and harmless face, but she is cold-faced and taciturn, which makes her look a little disturbing.

Just as he was about to understand the situation, another group of officers came in at the door.

The majestic team has python-patterned ferocious beasts on their chests, and all kinds of weapons in their hands, from meteor hammers to eyebrow-raising sticks, are all unpopular weapons.

With this configuration, there was only one Daxing Dynasty.

"Demon Slayer Division? Why are these people here?" Cao An frowned slightly.

He had very few interactions with the Demon Slayer Division. Generally speaking, the county government was responsible for the security of Shangjiang City. For major cases, six gates were dispatched. If there were special circumstances, Emperor Wan Jing would also order the Imperial City Division to intervene.

This demon-slaying division will only take action when a monster appears, and there is no one around at all on weekdays.

But looking around, I couldn't find any monsters! Who asked them to come?

"I called it."

A foreign man wearing a thick velvet felt hat hurried over and said in a puckered tone: "Master Guan, do you still remember me? I am Das. A monster appeared in this venue. Please help us surrender."

The leader of the Demon Slaying Division was a strong man carrying a meteor hammer. He was nearly two meters tall, wide and fat, and even thicker than Pan Jinlin.

After hearing what Das said, the leader spat the cloves in his mouth on the ground and rubbed the handle of the meteor hammer with both hands, his fighting spirit high.

"Where is the monster? Watch me destroy it with a hammer."

Hearing the leader's words, Das was overjoyed, turned around and pointed at the girl: "She is a monster."

Xiaojiu? monster?
  "Xiao Jiu is not a monster. You are bullying children! Shameless!" Ying Huorong was obviously familiar with Xiao Jiu. He glared at everyone and blocked the girl behind him like a protector.

Mr. Zhuang on the side is even more angry and flamboyant with white hair. If Cao An and the others hadn't stopped him, I would have shown you how powerful the white-haired demon is today.

"What are you struggling with? You'll know after you give it a try."

The strong man leading the team looked at Ying Huorong, then glanced at Zhu Xian, and finally bowed his hands to Cao An and saluted: "Brother Cao, business is business, I have offended you so much."

"Well, that's right. I just don't know what to call this lord? Do you know me?"

"Just call me Ding Jie. I was born in the grass, so there is no need to pay attention to it." Ding Jie waved his hand indifferently: "As for Brother Cao, he has become a household name in Shangjiang City recently."

"No matter where you are, you're just lucky."

Cao An cupped his fists and returned the salute, his thoughts flashing inside him.

Have you heard of the name for a long time? I'm afraid it's not that simple. Isn't the young genius Ying Huorong a master who has been famous for a long time? Why don't you say hello to her?

Ding Jie's attitude is very thought-provoking.

But now is not the time to investigate in detail, because their demon detection operation has already begun.

I saw a sloppy weirdo wearing a floral shirt and a lot of copper coins hanging on his body, walking out of the queue. He couldn't be a great dancer in this outfit.

"Hu da da kun! Hu da da kun!"

Are you really a great dancer?

I saw the strange man with his eyes closed, holding a copper bell in his hand, dancing around with crab steps, walking around Xiao Jiu.

He was mumbling words through gritted teeth, as if he was performing some kind of ritual. It was really...

It's really useless.

There was still no expression on Xiao Jiu's cute face. She looked up indifferently for a while, and finally came to the conclusion: "Idiot."

You're swearing again. Although you're telling the truth, isn't it a bit too much for you, a child like you, to scold someone in front of your face? "She's fine." The scolded weirdo had an expression of relief on his face and returned to his team with a satisfied look on his face.

What's the meaning? Is this the end?

I just danced around Xiaojiu for a while. Is this considered the demon power test completed?

"That's right, it's done. It seems she's not a monster." Ding Jie lifted the meteor hammer on his shoulder again and turned around without hesitation: "In this case, let's leave first. Brothers, retreat."

Everyone:? ? ?
  Coming and going in a hurry, is this Demon Slayer Division in a hurry to get off work?
  Das rushed forward and grabbed Ding Jie: "Master Ding, why did you leave?"

"There are no monsters here, why should I keep them?"

"But this girl killed someone! Don't you care?"

"We are the Demon Slayer Division and have no control over people. If you want to solve the case, Cao Shuixiu from the Tsing Yi Department is here, so go find him!"

The completely irresponsible remarks made Das look embarrassed.

Who was present couldn't tell that the Tsing Yi Department had an old relationship with Mr. Zhuang, and Xiaojiu was Mr. Zhuang's granddaughter. If the Tsing Yi Department was asked to solve the case, wouldn't it be bending the law for personal gain?

Cao An naturally noticed everyone's concerns and took the initiative to step forward and said, "How about this? If you don't believe me, you can ask people from the Six Gates to come. If a murder occurs, they must be in charge."

These words made Das's eyes light up.

yes! The most powerful thing in Shangjiang City is the six doors.

"Take them down, they are far worse than this one." Ding Jie pointed at Cao An, almost praising him to the sky.

"This Master Cao, is he very good at handling cases?"

"Of course, catching thieves and looking for murderers is commonplace. With a backhand, you can also send the Minister of Punishment and the blue-clad head catcher to jail. Now if I call Six Doors, will they dare to answer?"

Cao An:......

So, does he already have a reputation for being evil?
  I'm addicted to catching thieves, and I even sent my colleagues in with my backhand. It's really...

"Ahem, what a misunderstanding. I enforce the law impartially. I think it's okay to let Liumen intervene in this case."

"This is really a problem. Pang Shi has led people to block the Sanfa Division this morning, saying that they want to conduct a thorough investigation. I don't know how many will come out tomorrow. I can't count on them anymore."

Ding Jie looked at Cao An with admiration in his eyes, and then took a step back slightly.

what? Are you worried that I will send you away too?
  "Okay, Mr. Ding, we can't come from Six Doors, so you can stay and be a witness. After all, it's a murder case, so it's better to handle it as soon as possible."

It is normal for the Three Law Division to have continuous problems and be thoroughly investigated. Since there is no hope for it, just let the Demon Slayer Division be a witness, so as not to be accused of seeking power for personal gain.

"Where is the body? Take me to see it." Cao An didn't want to delay any longer.

It was just a murder case, and there were only about a hundred people present. With the blessing of the detective system, wouldn't it be easy to solve a small case?

With such confident words, naturally no one dared to refute, and they made way to lead Cao An to a side hall.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped in, Cao An froze on the spot, staring blankly at the two corpses in front of him.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Ying Huorong asked strangely.

Even if I think about and reason on weekdays, I only analyze the situation after investigating the situation. How come I just stepped in and found something wrong?

"It's really not right."

Cao An glanced around the room, and then asked Das and the others: "How many people died this time?"

"Ah? Sir, what do you mean by this?" Das was also confused. Isn't this corpse placed in front of you?

"Don't worry about what I mean? Answer me, how many people died."

"Um, two of them?" Das also hesitated when asked, "1, 2, there are two of them, that's right!"
  "It's wrong to have two."

"wrong?"

"Zhu Xian, notify the office and send some people to help. Seal the venue and prohibit entry and exit. This case is a bit strange."

It's a bit strange to be able to make Cao An say something. It's obviously not a good case. The problem lies in the sound of notifications ringing in his ears.

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

"Trigger case: Chamber of Commerce Murder Case."

"Case description: Four murders suddenly occurred in the Chamber of Commerce. Find the hidden criminals and get the detective reward."

How many people died in this case?
