Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 154: The Evil in the Dark

Masheng Lane, a dead end alley with abandoned houses.

Li Mazi stood at the side with his hands behind his back. Looking closely, one could see that he was bending his waist even lower than before.

"Tell Zhou Quan a message, telling him to behave himself for the next month and not to cause any trouble for me, not even street fights. If there are any bandits passing by, tell me as soon as you have any news. Anyone who dares to hide it from me will be killed!"

"Okay, Master Yang, I will definitely help you pass on your message to the general manager. I will also discipline the brothers below. If anyone dares to cause trouble within this month, I will kill him first without you having to do anything!"

Nodding, Yang Qian also believed that Li Mazi and Zhou Quan understood the seriousness of the matter, so he said no more.

He took out a small cloth bag from his arms and handed it over.

"You know the way. Find an old tailor who specializes in this and find out what it is used for."

Li Mazi took the cloth bag and opened it to find a piece of cloth the size of a fingernail inside. Judging from the marks on the corners, it should be the residue left after burning.

Not curious and not asking too many questions, Li Mazi nodded to indicate that he would help Yang Qian find out as soon as possible.

After coming out of the dead end, Li Mazi first went to find Uncle Yu Zhou Quan and conveyed Yang Qian's words to him, without missing a word or adding anything extra.

"It is said outside that Master Yang is the Little Master of the Five Thunder Palace. Do you know whether this is true or not?" Zhou Quan agreed to the business while nervously pulling Li Mazi to question him.

"Uncle Yu, this can't be false. Who would be so bold as to pretend to be a disciple of an immortal sect? The name of the Little Immortal Master was first called out from the government office, and no one stopped it. This naturally proves that this matter is absolutely true."

Zhou Quan's face glowed red, and he said excitedly: "I never thought that one day I would be able to work under a little immortal master. What a blessing!"

Li Mazi's wife Shen Linghong also said the same thing.

"Li Deng, you are really lucky! Master Yang is now a junior immortal master and is working in the government. You will have a bright future. You must not let go and hold on to this big thick leg tightly!"

"Wife, I know. Hold on to Master Yang's thigh tightly. With this relationship in the future, we can also pray for a glorious birth for our child!" Li Mazi touched his wife's slightly bulging belly with a smile.

"Well, it's great that you think this way! But there's no rush for this matter. You should just show your loyalty to Master Yang now. Don't take the initiative to ask for anything unless it's absolutely necessary. Save your favors so that they can be of great use in the future."

Li Mazi smiled and said, "Okay, wife, I know all this very well. You should just take care of yourself now. If you ask me, don't go to the wine shop, right?"

"No! You can still move now. If I don't watch over the liquor store, I'm worried that it will affect the business. When it becomes inconvenient to move around, let Lao Li help watch over it. You should also run more frequently then."

The couple chatted for a while, and Li Mazi took out a small cloth bag from his arms, which was exactly what Yang Qian gave him in the morning.

"Wife, weren't you a tailor before? Come and help me see what this is used for."

Shen Linghong took the small cloth bag, saw the small piece of cloth inside, turned her head and looked at her husband, and saw that he was laughing but didn't explain, so she realized that this was not something she should ask. So she turned her attention back to the things in the cloth bag.

He picked it up, looked at it for a long time, and twisted it a few times.

"How about it?"

"Li Deng, if I'm not mistaken, this is the finest silk cloth, and it's double-layered. Look at these places, don't they look like they've been melted? This is the characteristic of double-layered silk cloth. Otherwise, I don't think this piece of cloth would have survived.

There are also fine lines on the cloth. Although there are only a few left, it can be seen that this is the result of extremely sophisticated needlework. I don’t have such good skills, and none of the tailors in the three cities have such skills. It’s amazing!”

"and then?"

"Don't be impatient! I was just about to say it!" After a pause, Shen Linghong leaned into Li Mazi's arms and continued, "This kind of silk fabric is soft and close to the body. It is generally used as lining for high-quality robes, and also as lining to support the body shape. It is used in high-end men's and women's ready-made clothes.

However, if this fine pattern is added, it can be ruled out as men's clothing, because showing patterns on the inner garment or lining is a common practice for women's clothing, which can increase the sense of refinement and is also a kind of pleasure for women. Men's clothing has never had this. Therefore, this piece of cloth should be left over from the burning of a high-end women's clothing lining or a women's inner garment. "

Li Mazi nodded, put the small piece of cloth away again, and then asked his wife: "How sure are you about what you said?"

"Ninety-nine percent!"

"That's it!"

His wife worked as a tailor to support the family when they were poor. She was especially famous for her embroidery. So Li Mazi trusted his wife's judgment and didn't need to take the risk of looking for another tailor.

The next day, Li Mazi met Yang Qian again, returned the piece of cloth, and told Yang Qian everything his wife had said.

Something only found on women’s clothing!
Yang Qian was now completely certain. Regardless of whether the other two people from Piao Miao Peak knew about it or participated in it, at least the person who actually did it could be confirmed now.

The bloody murder in Wangzhuang was committed by the female disciple from Piaomiao Peak!

Yang Qian couldn't help feeling a little chill in his heart.

I'm afraid that it's not the demons or evil ways that are the most harmful in this world. They do evil in the open, and there are always ways to resist them. What if the immortal sects like Piaomiao Peak do evil? This kind of evil is the worst!

With a gloomy mood, Yang Qian didn't look good to anyone in the squad room all day. He asked his subordinates to carefully sort out the files and evidence related to Mount Paektu, and he returned home early.

"Qian'er is back? The kid you brought back a few days ago can walk now, and he keeps talking about looking for you!"

The child Xu Ying was talking about was Wang Xiang. He had been living here for two days. In the first two days, he was so groggy that he couldn't even get off the ground. He was so weak that he looked like he was dying.

Hearing this, Yang Qian wiped his face, changed into casual clothes and went to the backyard. When he saw Wang Xiang, the boy was walking slowly in the backyard with a stick. He was very interested in the stone locks in the yard and some sandbags that Yang Qian used to hang his knife to add weight, and he was looking around with great pleasure.

This spirit is indeed much better.

"Wang Xiang!"

"Master Yang! Are you back?"

"Well, if you're not keeping it in the house, why are you running out?"

"Hey, it's too uncomfortable to lie in bed, so I want to come out and take a look. Your yard is really nice, but it's a little small."

Can the courtyards in the city compare with the manor? Yang Qian was too lazy to explain to this ignorant boy.

"Do you like practicing martial arts?" Yang Qian could feel that Wang Xiang was very interested in the common martial arts things in the yard.

"Yes! I like to practice martial arts! I hope I can be a detective like Master Yang and protect the people!"

"."

Wang Xiang's sincere and clear eyes fell into Yang Qian's eyes, which immediately made him feel a little bitter.

Protect the people?
It’s easier said than done!

Facing an immortal gate, or a large immortal alliance sect like Piaomiao Peak, is even more difficult than ascending to heaven!
