The air pressure in the City Lord's Mansion became extremely low. Dong Ji and He Zhu stood at the front and looked at each other.

Behind them, all the officials in the City Lord's Mansion had arrived.

As the most powerful City Lord's Mansion in Mufeng City, there are a total of ten fifth-grade warriors here, and most of the guards in the mansion are fourth-grade warriors.

"Are all the people here?" Zhong Man sat in the position where Tan was supposed to sit and asked Dong Ji and He Zhu.

"Reply Guo, everyone is here..." Dong Ji replied angrily.

Hearing this, Zhong Man's sharp eyes swept over everyone in the hall, and he slowly stood up.

"My name is Guo Tu, and I am the Tiger Seal Constable of Chengfu, responsible for investigating the Bai family's extermination case."

"Everyone present, has anyone seen where your city lord has gone?"

After Guo Tu asked, everyone present fell silent and no one answered.

Seeing this, Guo Tu chuckled.

"Hehe~"

"Since the city lord is not here, from now on, all matters in Mufeng City will be managed by me."

"I will not leave until the Bai family is exterminated and the city lord is missing~~"

"I also ask all my colleagues to cooperate with my work~~"

Guo Tu said slowly.

Although he said the word "please", his tone was unquestionable.

"Yes..."

Because of his identity and strength, everyone could only pinch their noses and obey.

Chengfu, located in the east of Mufeng City, is responsible for managing dozens of cities including Mufeng City.

The Tiger Seal Constable is a special organization in Yue State, the Demon Suppression Division.

Although it is called the Demon Suppression Division, they are actually responsible for more than just killing monsters. They are responsible for handling all the mysterious cases, vicious criminals and even spies and assassins in Yue State.

The Demon Suppression Division is spread throughout Yue State and is a force that cannot be underestimated in Yue State.

Among them, the members are called Constables, and they are divided into four grades according to their strength.

The lowest grade is the Wolf Seal Constable, whose strength is between the fourth and fifth grades, followed by the Tiger Seal Constable, whose strength is between the sixth and fifth grades.

The second rank is the Phoenix Seal Constable. There are a total of twelve people in the entire Demon Suppression Division who have the Phoenix Seal, and their actual rank is the eighth rank.

The first rank is the Dragon Seal Constable, which is headed by the Chief Constable of the Demon Suppression Division. Generally, the Chief Constables of all previous generations are actually ninth rank.

As the Tiger Seal Constable, Guo Tu is also a first rank, and is also a good hand in the entire Demon Suppression Division.

Seeing that everyone in the City Lord's Mansion obeyed him, he also began to make arrangements.

"Dong Ji, you take people to investigate in Mufeng City and look for Tan's whereabouts, especially in the City Lord's Mansion. Report to me immediately if there are any doubts!"

"Maybe in your eyes, City Lord Tan is a good person, but since you are missing at this time, I have reason to classify you as a defector from my Yue Kingdom!"

"Yes..." Dong Ji agreed.

Deep down, they were still unwilling to accept the fact that Tan Xiao had defected. On weekdays, Tan Xiao was quite caring towards them, but they did not dare to argue with Guo Tu.

They could only hope that Tan Xiao had something particularly important to do.

"He Zhu, bring the surviving Bai family members in the City Lord's Mansion here. I want to interrogate them personally."

"Yes."

After talking to the two people, Guo Tu turned to call his own men and whispered in their ears.

"Yes!!"

"You guys, follow me!"

After hearing this, several wolf seal constables shouted directly at the other people in the City Lord's Mansion.

Soon, Guo Tu was the only one left in the hall, and groups of people in the City Lord's Mansion left in all directions.

Guo Tu put his legs on the desk, leaned against the back of the chair, and closed his eyes to rest.

After a while, He Zhu led the remaining Bai family members to the hall.

"Master, I brought all the Bai family members..."

Hearing this, Guo Tu opened his eyes and scanned the Bai family members below.

"Are all the Bai family members here?"

"Uh..." He Zhu's expression became unnatural, and he stuttered: "Bai Mingxue from the Bai family... and her sister Bai Xiaoqing are also missing..."

"The former city lord took them away personally, and they have never been seen since then..."

Guo Tu frowned.

"Bai Mingxue? Who is she in the Bai family?"

He Zhu quickly told Guo Tu about Bai Mingxue.

After listening, Guo Tu raised his eyebrows.

"Marrying the prince? That's really interesting~"

"The Bai family got a treasure ten years ago, and then it was stolen by her father and disappeared, so she has been unwelcome for ten years~"

"Go and get the files about the incident ten years ago~" Guo Tu ordered He Zhu.

"Yes."

After He Zhu left, Guo Tu cast his eyes on the Bai family present.

"Next, you answer whatever I ask~~"

The cold aura enveloped the whole place again.

...

After about a night, the people sent out had returned.

A pile of documents were placed on the table, and Guo Tu patiently looked through them one by one.

The more he read, the tighter his brows frowned.

"After all this time, except for that Tan, no one has seen the murderer?!"

"The dark wood coffin, the shadow of the thunder dragon descending from the sky, the Bai family's top leaders gathered in the back mountain late at night..."

Guo Tu sorted it out carefully, but he had no clue.

Then, he looked through another pile of files.

"On the day of the crime, a mysterious blonde girl came to Xiyue Inn and disappeared mysteriously after staying for one night..."

"That night, a team of patrol guards fell into a coma for no reason and lost any memory of that night. They also found traces of monster footprints..."

"The floating light array, the defensive array of Mufeng City, stopped running for a moment, and there were mysterious runes carved on the city wall..."

These were some abnormalities that occurred in the city on the night of the demise of the Bai family. It seemed that they had nothing to do with the demise of the Bai family, but Guo Tu logically connected them together.

"The floating light array is used to resist monsters, but it suddenly stopped working, and traces of monsters were found under the city wall, combined with the runes on the wall."

"This means that someone in the city lifted the array and let a monster in..."

Guo Tu began to analyze quickly.

Being able to temporarily dispel such a huge magic array without making any sound, this person must not be an ordinary person...

But why did he let the monster in? !

"According to the description of the people in the City Lord's Mansion, Tan Yu did not use any thunder-attributed martial arts to destroy the Bai family. It is very likely that he is a warrior with evil ghost skills who can control the Yin Qi. He is at least a top-level warrior."

"It seems that the people who fought in the Bai family were not only Tan Yu and the murderer, but also another person or... a monster!!"

Guo Tu's eyes lit up.

"Come here!"

He shouted in a deep voice.

"People! What do you want!" asked the wolf seal headman who was guarding the front.

"Go to the Bai family!"
