Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 151 Testing
Yang Qian never thought that his relationship with the Five Thunder Palace could be kept hidden forever. Sooner or later, it would be known to others.

He had expected this to happen this time, but he didn't expect the other party to ask this first.

"In reply to Immortal Master, I am a registered disciple of the outer sect of the Five Thunder Palace."

hiss!
As soon as Yang Qian finished speaking, a sound of people gasping for air was heard in the main hall. All the people from the Three Cities present were shocked. They had always thought that Yang Qian was a person without any roots. Now it seems that although he has no roots in the secular world, this is not the case in the immortal world!

For a moment, the look in everyone's eyes, including Cui Mingsheng's, when they looked at Yang Qian changed, and no one knew what they were thinking.

"Outer sect? Or registered disciples? Tsk, is the Five Thunder Palace so picky?"

As soon as these words came out, the people in the Three Dao Cities were shocked again. Was this saying that the Five Thunder Palace should list Yang Qian as a formal disciple? !
"Master, please forgive me for making a fool of myself. I am a stupid boy. It is already a blessing for me to have the status of a registered disciple. I dare not ask for more." Yang Qian still answered with his waist slightly bent. He did not look flustered at all and was not nervous by the natural pressure emanating from the other three people.

"You are quite clever. Since you have one foot in the Immortal Realm, then tell me what happened to the massacre of the whole village that just happened here? Raise your head and speak."

"Yes, Immortal Master." Yang Qian raised his head and replied, "Something happened in Wangzhuang the night before yesterday. The patrol team of the village and town joint defense team discovered the problem and entered the manor to check.
There are four doubts. First, although it is bloody, according to our experience, simple dismemberment would cause more blood to splatter, and the bloodstains at the scene are at least 20% or 30% less than normal.

Second, the scene was very chaotic. Not only were the bodies dismembered, but almost all the buildings in the village were destroyed, and some houses were almost razed to the ground. This was definitely not something that ordinary demons or bandits could do.

Third, footprints. Freshly trampled shoe prints were found on the roofs and trees of the manor. Some strange animal footprints were found near the manor, shaped like cow hooves, but several times larger than ordinary cow hooves. I don’t know if there were monsters involved, or if there was some other reason.”

After saying that, Yang Qian stood aside with his hands behind his back.

"Are you done? Do you have files on these things?"

"Yes, please wait for a moment, three immortal masters." Yang Qian bowed, then turned and left the hall, picked up the files he brought at the door, and returned. He then presented the files.

The contents of the file were basically what Yang Qian and Wang Hai had discussed and finally agreed upon. However, Yang Qian temporarily replaced one of the rubbings, which was later found to be the animal footprint rubbing that was missing a corner and could be used as evidence. He replaced it with a very blurry one.

Everything was very sensitive now. Yang Qian didn't even know if it was all three of them who were involved in the Wangzhuang tragedy, or just one of them. So he didn't dare to reveal anything. He even had to be careful to make his findings vague.

The three people from Piaomiao Peak passed the file that Yang Qian handed over. There was not much content, so they finished reading it quickly. But Yang Qian, who had been paying close attention to the three people above, found that the young man on the left seemed to pause when he read the second half, and even went back to take another look. But in the end, he still closed the file calmly.

"What do you think is responsible?" The middle-aged man with a long beard, who was in the middle of the group, smiled a little more on his cold face and looked at Yang Qian with interest.

What do I think? Although Yang Qian was surprised that the other party would ask him such a small question, he quickly replied: "If it is not done by humans, it must be done by evil!"

"Hmm? Evil? You still know the evil way?"

"I was lucky enough to have handled a case involving funeral objects before, so I got to know some basic things.

There was a survivor in Wang Zhuang's case. After waking up, the man was weak and often fainted, which was very similar to the cases I handled before. So I speculated that Wang Zhuang was also an evildoer, and he borrowed some powerful evil magic weapon to carry out such an aggressive and violent massacre of the village and then disappeared. "

"Tsk, evil magic weapon? Do you have any evidence? You can solve the case just by imagining it, right?" This time it was the young man on the left who spoke. With a sneer on his face, he looked at Yang Qian as if he was looking at an ignorant and self-righteous country fool.

Yang Qian did not argue, but continued to stand at the bottom with a blank expression, slightly bent over. But in his heart, he kept watching the changes in the expressions of the three people in front of him.

The middle-aged man in the middle raised his hand to stop the young man on the left from continuing to ridicule him. He looked at Yang Qian and asked, "So you are sure that it must be the work of the evil cultivator?"

"No, I think the perpetrator could be a demon cultivator, or an evil cultivator, or even someone else. Because evil weapons can be used by ordinary people, it is difficult to identify a specific target."

"You said in the file that it might be the work of the Black Mountain Evil?"

"Yes, the demons from Black Mountain have invaded the Three Paths City many times in recent years. Previously, a big demon came here, but was finally stopped by the Five Thunder Palace. However, there are still many demon cultivators left nearby to do evil. So I think the demon cultivators from Black Mountain are the first suspects."

"So how do you plan to investigate further?"

"This..." Yang Qian looked at Cui Mingsheng beside him with embarrassment.

Cui Mingsheng quickly ordered: "The Immortal Master asked you a question, answer it quickly!"

Yang Qian then continued, "In reply to Immortal Master, I plan to focus on investigating the animal footprints that were found. This is the only clue that may point to a possible cause. If we can figure out what the animal footprints that appeared outside the manor at the time of the crime belonged to, perhaps we can have a clearer direction for the investigation."

After Yang Qian finished speaking, he waited for the other party to continue asking questions, but after waiting for a while, he found that the other party was just looking at him with a smile and not saying anything. He suddenly felt a little puzzled and wondered if he had said the right thing just now.

"Yang Qian, since you have such strong ideas about this case, then continue investigating. Do you dare?"

Yang Qian looked at Cui Mingsheng next to him again, and when he saw him nod slightly, Yang Qian bowed and said, "As a local police chief, it is my duty to investigate this matter thoroughly!"

"That's right. Since you have the courage, then go ahead and investigate. I'll give you a talisman. If you have any news, you can crush the talisman and it will guide you on how to pass the news to me." As he spoke, the middle-aged man took out a jade tablet from his sleeve, which was two fingers wide and two inches long, and threw it to Yang Qian.

After saying that, he waved his hand, signaling Yang Qian that he could leave.

But at the moment when Yang Qian turned around, he suddenly felt a flash of something fierce behind him, but he couldn't confirm who it was.

That afternoon, Yang Qian received the news and followed the leaders of the Three Dao Cities to see off the three immortal masters. It was said that their next stop would be the nearest immortal gate, the Five Thunder Palace.
