I rely on my body to push the weird world

Chapter 44 Linnantong·Sealed Coffin Village
"Master, since we are in Lingjiang, which is under the jurisdiction of Qinglong, let Qinglong handle it first."

Judge Wu suddenly stood up and bowed.

Everyone else also turned their eyes to Li Ji.

"Qinglong may be very powerful, but he is new here and has no experience. How can he take on such a big task?"

The Demon Suppression Division Master frowned slightly.

"Master, rest assured. Although Qinglong has no experience, he is very powerful. We can send an experienced old detective to accompany him. While imparting experience, he can also take care of him."

Judge Wu said solemnly.

"Well, this is quite appropriate."

The Demon Suppression Division Chief nodded, looked at Li Ji, and said, "Qinglong, what do you think? Are you willing to go and investigate?"

Li Ji twisted his neck, making a crackling sound. He looked around at the pairs of expectant, contemptuous and disdainful eyes around him, and suddenly smiled.

What's the point of talking about experience or not? It's all nonsense!
Rather than being a detailed discussion to gather ideas, it was more like an order and notice that had been planned long ago and was well known to everyone.

Judge Wu has already pointed out that Lingjiang is under the jurisdiction of Qinglong!
Who among you is Qinglong? Isn't it Li Ji?

"I am willing to do so!"

Li Ji continued, "But as Judge Wu said, I am inexperienced. I hope you can send an experienced old detective to accompany me. Of course, it would be even better if Judge Wu could lend a hand!"

Although it is true that he wants to kill demons and monsters, it does not mean that he wants to be pushed or coerced by others.

Judge Wu's face froze, and then he laughed dumbly and said, "Why should I personally take action in this matter? This is the job of the Four Famous Detectives. If you can't solve it, I will do it myself!"

"Judge Wu is right!"

The Demon Suppression Division Master nodded silently and looked at everyone: "If you can't solve it, we will naturally take action ourselves! So, who is willing to go with Qinglong?"

"My subordinates are willing to go!"

Suddenly, a figure stepped out and spoke.

This is a big man carrying a huge sword on his back. He is wearing a short cotton coat, with rough muscle lines and thick calluses on his palms.

It is Hengshan Bajian·Lin Nantong!
"Lin Nantong, since you have volunteered, you and Qinglong will be responsible for this matter together!"

The Demon Suppression Division Master said solemnly.

"Yes!"

Lin Nantong clasped his fists.

……

From the Loyalty Hall, he returned to the Qinglong torture chamber.

There was always a smile on Li Ji's lips.

He knew Hengshan Bajian Lin Nantong, but this person was not there on the martial arts arena that day.

It is said that Lin Nantong was in charge of other strange cases and could not come, so they just found someone to replace him.

As soon as the old detective's assistance was mentioned, Lin Nantong volunteered to step forward. It was hard not to see his ambition, and it was also hard not to see that this Hengshan Bajian was not alone!

But no matter whether Lin Nantong is the Lord of the Demon Suppression Division or Judge Wu’s man.

This made no difference to Li Ji.

If Lin Nantong can use it conveniently, then it's fine. But if it doesn't work for him and he wants to secretly use a wrench to do something to him, then don't blame him for being cruel!
Thinking of this, Li Ji hung the bronze knife around his waist and waited for Lin Nantong to arrive in front of the Qinglong torture chamber.

About twenty minutes or so.

In the distance, a team with sharp eyes slowly approached. There were about 20 to 30 people. All of them had a strong aura and gave off an iron-blooded sense of "no approach allowed".

The leader was Lin Nantong, carrying a huge iron sword on his back, and his coarse cloth jacket had been replaced with a set of black iron armor, making him look like an iron-blooded general fighting on the battlefield.

"Lord Qinglong, we can set off now!" Lin Nantong spoke in a muffled voice with sharp eyes as he looked down at Li Ji.

Li Ji's mouth curled up slowly, his eyes were calm, and he said as if he didn't care: "Well, let's go!"

He let Lin Nantong lead the team in front and clear the way, while he followed closely behind him, walking through the streets and alleys, and heading towards the outside of Wuling County in a mighty manner.

Speechless all the way.

Since Xu Ruonan and others had already gone to investigate the Lingjiang reed marsh, they did not go there, but chose to go directly to Fengguan Village in the southwest of Wuling County.

The coffin-sealed village!
It is a remote mountain village in the upper reaches of Lingjiang River, surrounded by mountains on three sides. The people's food, clothing, housing and transportation are mainly solved by selling coffins made from ancient trees in the mountains to Wuling County, which is why it is named after this.

The entire Fengguan Village is not big. It is barely a village. It is just a residential area made up of a few dilapidated tile houses.

But precisely because Fengguan Village is not large in area, it luckily survived when heavy rains a few days ago caused the ancient tombs in the mountains to collapse and formed mudslides.

The previous Qinglong died tragically here, his death was unclear.

It was already noon when Lin Nantong and others arrived at Fengguan Village. Trees had fallen down and were lying across the middle of the road. There was a faint stench in the air, and the scene was completely desolate.

"Have all the people here been settled?"

Li Ji asked casually.

Everyone behind him was silent and didn't say a word.

Lin Nantong had a calm expression and ignored all the attention. Instead, he stepped over the fallen tree and walked towards Fengguan Village.

Li Ji frowned slightly: "What? Are you all deaf?!"

Lin Nantong said calmly: "Master Qinglong, have you forgotten that our duty is only to suppress the demons! As for the people here, look, aren't they in front?"

He took a step forward and headed deeper into Fengguan Village.

Others followed in unison.

Li Ji lowered his eyes to hide the surging murderous intent in his eyes. He was silent for a while, and then followed closely behind.

It won't be long.

A group of people passed through fallen tree trunks and boulders blocking the road. Finally, in front of them, they saw three or two dilapidated tiled houses. The outermost walls made of mud and bamboo strips were already dirty. Not far away was a mudslide with flying soil. It seemed that being able to survive was a huge luck.

Women were looking after the silkworms in winnowing baskets, and snotty-nosed children were lying beside them watching the wriggling silkworms.

All around were men who were swinging their arms, sweating, and making coffins in an orderly manner.

"Where is your village chief? Ask him to come over!"

Lin Nantong walked closer and spoke directly in a muffled voice.

When the men saw this, their faces suddenly changed. They quickly put down their tools and ran into one of the tile houses.

Not long after, an old man with white hair and beard, leaning on a cane, came over with a panicked look on his face, and hurriedly led everyone to kneel on the ground.

"I am Liu San, a lowly man, and I have brought the old and young of Fengguan Village to pay my respects to the general. I am sorry for not welcoming you in person, and I hope the general will forgive me!"

"Get up! We are detectives from the Demon Suppression Division, not generals. We are here to investigate the tragic death of Lord Qinglong!"

Lin Nantong stretched out his hand to support him.

Liu San slowly breathed a sigh of relief, asked everyone to stand up, and then he solemnly saluted and said, "I am Liu San, the humble one, and I pay my respects to you, sir!"

"Well, tell me what happened at the time of the crime, and what happened that night when the torrential rain and mudslides washed out the ancient tomb!"

Lin Nantong asked on his own.

Li Ji didn't say anything, but just looked at him deeply.
