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

Chapter 9 The man behind the scenes
  The hibiscus tent is warm and the splendid clothes are beautiful.

The exquisite oiran's boudoir was newly decorated by the maids, and a [Desirable Incense] was lit in the copper stove. The bright red smoke seemed to cover the room with a layer of gauze, which was alluring and intoxicating.

If the Minister of Justice whose official seal was stolen was here, he would definitely be very impressed. He has also smelled this strange fragrance, and he called it 'enhancing the taste'.

But when the official from the Ministry of Rites walked in, his expression changed drastically, and he reflexively held his breath and concentrated.

There was no bad plot as imagined. Instead, the official was cautious and bowed to Mubai Oiran.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates have sent all the files with official seals to the inner treasury. It is expected that they will be sneaked into the Privy Council within three days."

As an official of the Ministry of Etiquette, he actually saluted to a woman from the Jiaofang Department. It seemed that what was hidden here was not as simple as it seemed.

But at this moment, Mubai Oiran seemed a little absent-minded. Listening to the report of his subordinate behind him, he was also indifferent. He was playing with the three copper coins used by Cao An to solve the case in his hand, with his beautiful eyes thoughtful.

"Is there anything unusual at the Tsing Yi Department?" Mubai Oiran asked in a cold voice.

The official of the Ministry of Rites was stunned and quickly replied: "Tsing Yi Department? Then of course he went back to their office proudly. Your plan is perfect. Those six doors, the Demon Slaying Department, and the Imperial City Department were all tricked by us. It’s spinning around!”

Having been involved in officialdom for many years, he naturally learned the skill of flattering horses. He seized the opportunity and flattered the envoy.

Unfortunately, the next second, he felt like he was in an ice cellar.

There is no longer the charming charm in Fengyue Field. At this moment, Mubai Oiran exudes a cold aura all over his body.

With red eyeliner, he glared at the official with a ray of evil intent. He was so frightened that the official fell to his knees on the ground, shouting "spare your life", and his body couldn't stop shaking.

He really couldn't figure it out. He was just flattering him. Was he wrong?
  "Hmph! Do you know that tonight's plan is extremely dangerous, and we are almost going to lose everything, yet you are still complacent here!"

Mubai Oiran's words made the officials tremble in their hearts, and sweat dripped from their foreheads. This was a serious crime that could lead to execution! There were still mistakes.

"Didn't the plan be executed very well? What went wrong? Please let the envoy know clearly."

In the planned setup, they lured the dead ghost with a large sum of money to do things for the dead ghost. The official seal sank in the gap at the bottom of the lake, and then quietly borrowed it for a while through the tunnel in the lake without anyone noticing.

Although the case was finally solved by Cao An of the Tsing Yi Department, the original plan was to return the official seal. It was just a matter of sooner or later, and it did not affect the overall situation at all.

It stands to reason that the plan was successfully completed.

"But you don't know that the reason why this plan was successful is that Cao An did not reveal my identity."

"What! Did Cao An see through the identity of the envoy?"

"It should be right. When he used [Three Purities to Ask for Directions], his eyes stayed on me for several breaths. I'm afraid he had already seen the clues."

Mubai Oiran caressed the copper coins in his hand, recalling Cao An's burning eyes at that time, and he is still frightened now.

If it were anyone else, she would naturally understand that the leering eyes were just from those who were greedy for her beautiful and smelly man.

But Cao An was different, because he was using Si Tianjian's secret technique at that time! You can't solve the case and peek at her body at the same time.

To be able to see through the Madam's disguise so accurately, that person's [Qi Watching Technique] may have reached its peak.

For this reason, Mubai Oiran paid special attention to Cao An, and as expected, he stared at his back with deep meaning before leaving. Yes, Cao Anding has seen through his identity.

"In this case, do you need your subordinates to arrange for someone to get rid of him?" The officials of the Ministry of Rites were ruthless, and any insiders must be eliminated.

But Mubai Oiran thought for a moment, then shook his head and rejected it.

"Although the Tsing Yi Department has a small number of people, the top experts are amazingly powerful. Acting rashly will only frighten the enemy. We are in a critical period of the plan. We cannot make an enemy of that general unless necessary."

"But what should Cao An do? He already doubts you, the envoy!"

"Si Tianjian pays attention to destiny and cause and effect. Cao An didn't testify against me on the spot. He just left a favor, so it shouldn't be a big problem. Just in case, I will stay out of the limelight for now and try him again if I have the chance."

……

"Aqiu!!!"

Cao An, who returned to the Tsing Yi Department, sneezed loudly. He didn't know whether it was because he watched too many beauties and was missed, or because he caught a cold after working overtime all night. Anyway, he felt very bad now.

Not only was he tired from working all night to investigate the case, but also regarding the situation in the Tsing Yi Department, he always felt that something was not right about this place.

When he parachuted through last night, he found that there were very few officers in the department. At that time, Zhu Xian also explained that everyone went to support Mr. Tisi in investigating the case. There was no one in the department, so Cao An didn't take it to heart.

But now that the case has been solved and everyone has returned to the office, there are still dozens of people. Even including those who sweep the floor and cook, they are no more than a hundred.

"Brother Zhu, are all our colleagues from the Tsing Yi Department here?" Cao An tactfully asked Zhu Xian.

This fat man was also just fooling around. He didn't feel ashamed at all. Instead, he replied triumphantly:
  "About 70% of them are here. Huo Qi is not here. Shui Xiu led Shui Qi to go out to investigate the case. Although the number of people in our department is small, they are all elite! Looking at this investigation, we are not doing our best. Press the Six Gates and the Demon Slayer Division."

we? Who is with you and us?
  I solved this case. If I don’t travel through time today, will you guys be suppressed all the time?

Besides, Cao An didn’t see any elites at all!

Sanyang was a bald man, and the flags were all filled with monks. He counted the number of people, and there were exactly eighteen of them. He didn't know if he could form any formation.

After a busy night, the monks returned to the office and began to do morning lessons. The wooden fish were knocked loudly. Is this appropriate?

Looking at the wooden flag again, it's even worse.

As the banner leader, Zhu Xian was in charge of the internal affairs of the Tsing Yi Department. He shouted to assemble, and his subordinates rushed out with spoons and kitchen knives. Can these people really catch thieves?
  After some observation, it seems that among the five flags, only the golden flag is the most reliable.

There are more than ten people under the banner, all with unicorn shoulder armor hanging on their right arms, which looks like gold and glass, and is quite handsome.

Even though they have returned to the agency at this moment, the generals of the Golden Flag are still standing tall and straight, with serious expressions, and the handles of their big swords are always in their hands. At first glance, they are elite teachers.

Looking at the flag owner, he is also very muscular, with a pair of beards and eyes like copper bells. He obviously has a rough and capable style.

But for some unknown reason, the rough and arrogant flag owner revealed a vaguely enchanting tone when he spoke: "My name is Pan Daxi, and I command the Golden Scale Flag. You can also just call me [Pan Jinlin]."
