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

Chapter 54 The secret passage in the room
  Xiaojiu, a girl who looks very cute but has a somewhat gloomy personality.

Her whole body was shrouded in a black robe, like an indifferent corpse bearer. Life and death were the same in her eyes.

"Perhaps she is not human." Ding Jie, who was beside him, gave Cao An a pertinent opinion.

Cao An did not respond to this.

Being suspected of being a monster by everyone in the Chamber of Commerce is not just because of his weird personality, but also because this child has the ability to keep strangers away.

At this moment, except for Ying Huorong and Mr. Zhuang, no one else could get close at all. Even the bodyguards of the Chamber of Commerce were blocked three feet away by a force.

This is definitely not normal for a 9-year-old girl.

Cao An looked at Ding Jie strangely: "Do you still suspect that she is a demon? But you don't seem to want to take action?"

"Haha, not all demons need to be caught. The Demon Slayer Division is not as dedicated as you think."

Ding Jie was born in Cao Mang and did not pay attention to manners. He sat down on the tea table, took out two cloves from the small bag, chewed one himself, and handed another one to Cao An.

This thing is like chewing gum in this place. It is said to have the effect of relieving bad breath. Cao An did not refuse and threw one in his mouth to try the taste.

Seeing Cao An's integration, Ding Jie nodded openly, as if chatting, and said:

"A few years ago, the public security in Shangjiang City was not good. At that time, I encountered a five-meter-tall monster that was attacking passers-by. I couldn't bear to see it, so I rushed forward to fight it. It was also this opportunity that I joined the Demon Slayer. manage."

"So, you hate monsters?" Cao An asked.

"I used to hate him, but now, I just want to make a living." Ding Jie's voice was hoarse, and the smile on his face gradually faded.

"I have seen a monster swallow three living people in one bite. Without saying a word, I picked up the weapon and killed the monster."

"It is not good?"

"Okay? Haha, I turned around and found that hundreds of innocent people died under the knife."

"Didn't you find the murderer?"

"I found it, and I even took action. Unfortunately, I was thrown into prison, and I was able to get him out through connections. The main messenger was a court official, and I had no evidence."

Ding Jie's voice was full of loneliness, and a sense of powerlessness made all his enthusiasm vanish.

Humans are scarier than monsters.

Taking a deep breath and sweeping away the haze in his mind, Ding Jie pointed at the fool who danced the Great God and said: "There are good monsters and bad people. Don't look at my brother's weirdness. His technique is like a ruler." .”

"Oh? What do you say?"

"Demons are different from demonic beasts. The most important reason why demons can take the form of humans and mingle in the human world is practice. It is also commonly known as 'Tao Xing'."

Demon walking is the key to shedding the demon body and transforming into human form.

Just like in the Taoist library of Nanshan College, Mubai Oiran is practicing Taoism. Her Taoism is so high that even the Demon Slayer Division can't see through it.

To put it simply, the monsters have become cultured and are no longer instinctive bloodthirsty hunting, but have integrated into the human world to survive. The Monster Slayer Division naturally places them on an equal footing with humans.

Whether it is good or bad, it is no longer a matter of being beaten to death with a stick.

"I see. Thank you Brother Ding for your answer. Your words enlightened me." Cao An expressed his gratitude to Ding Jie with his hands in hand.

Ding Jiedao was very puzzled: "About monsters, I think Brother Cao also learned about them in Si Tianjian. How can he explain it so suddenly?"

"No, it was indeed a sudden enlightenment. Brother Ding's words made me understand a lot of things."

A flash of understanding flashed in Cao An's eyes, and there was something pointed in his words, which surprised Ding Jie. Did he accidentally let something slip?
  Just as he was about to ask more questions, another group of people came to the other courtyard. They were the people Zhu Xian had moved back to the Tsing Yi Department.

After counting, there were only about 30 people, not many, but this was all the Tsing Yi Department had.

Twelve hairpins with golden scales, eighteen monks with earthen clogs, and the flag masters of the five flags of the Tsing Yi Department all gathered together. This posture was only treated like the last time Tisi was arrested for listening to music.

"After receiving your request for help, I rushed over immediately." Pan Jinlin led his team, still maintaining his glittering appearance.

Guarding was his duty. Since Cao An named him in the summons to help, there must be arrangements. But why did Monk Sanyang come with him? Have nothing to do?
  Sanyang still had a spring-like expression on his face. He led his junior monks to Xiaojiu, and they all said Buddha's salute.

"Amitabha, donor Xiaojiu, we meet again. I heard that you are here, so I came here specifically to ask for some Buddhist teachings."

A group of monks asking a little girl for Buddhist teachings?

Xiaojiu raised her head and replied very coldly: "You're not dead yet!"

"Yes, the poor monk is lucky to be alive."

"From now on, bury your head in the soil more often and try to grow flowers."

"Yes, thank you, Donor Xiaojiu, for your advice."

Cao An:? ? ?
  Am I crazy, or is the world crazy? Why didn't I understand their conversation at all?

Forget it, mind yourself.

"Brother Pan, come with me and destroy the house."

"Huh? Destroy the house?"

"That's right, get the body out first, and then start smashing up the house."

"But isn't this destroying the scene?"

"There are no clues left at the scene, so I'm going to smash one out."

Pan Jinlin had imagined many investigation processes, but Cao An's imagination still far exceeded his expectations.

"Okay, if you want to smash, then go ahead. Brothers, practice more today!" Pan Jinlin bulged his muscles and rushed forward with his golden scales.

hammer?

No need, the sharp golden scale energy in the body protects the body, raises the fist and starts hammering the wall.

The monk Sanyang behind him was also shocked: "So it's so easy to solve the case! I'll come too." After saying that, the monks also started banging their heads against the wall.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
  For a moment, everyone in the Tsing Yi Department seemed to have gone crazy. A group of people were raising hands and a group were raising heads, and they started to mutilate themselves against the wall.

Ding Jie saw this and was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

Ordinary government agencies would work hard to protect the scene when handling cases. This was the first time that Cao An directly took the lead in destroying it.

When Das saw this scene, he couldn't help but wailed: "Sir, what are you doing? Just solve the case. Why are you smashing up my house?"

"If I don't destroy the house, how would I know where the clues are?"

"But, didn't that girl say that she herself was the murderer?"

"It's just the words of a naughty child. Didn't I, Lord Huorong of the Tsing Yi Department, say that Xiaojiu is kind-hearted?"

"With just such a casual statement, you rule out that Xiao Jiu is not the murderer?"

"Otherwise? I believe you but not her?"

Cao An turned his head and glanced at Das with a playful look in his eyes, which made Das's heart tremble.

Ding Jie on the side couldn't stand it and came over to try to persuade him.

Unexpectedly, Cao An had already spoken first: "I excluded Xiaojiu because there were more than two people killed in this case. Xiaojiu's appearance was an accident, and it was because of this that the murderer had to kill with a knife."

"Xiao Jiu forced the murderer to use the knife? That's not right." Ding Jie frowned: "If Xiao Jiu was already standing at the door, would the murderer still dare to use the knife in front of her?"

"Of course he dares. He even dares to kill people with a knife in front of everyone."
