Chapter 67 Who says I only have one life?
After an incense stick has burned.
Ran Qingshan, along with Yan Fenghuo and a group of his entourage, rushed to the scene.
Upon seeing the scene in the courtyard, Ran Qingshan felt a sharp pain in his forehead.
Why is it this kid again?
"What happened?"
Ran Qingshan suppressed his anger, selectively avoiding looking at the corpses on the ground.
Just as Wenhe was about to speak, Wang Ershang, who was standing next to him, preemptively reported the whole story in detail.
It particularly emphasizes the testimonies of the children rescued from the secret room and the gray-robed servant.
In his words, he attributed all the credit to Jiang Mu.
Even before Ran Qingshan arrived, he had already rescued and settled the little boy and the two sisters in the secret room.
Wenhe glanced coldly at his subordinate, but ultimately remained silent.
Ran Qingshan looked at Jiang Mu: "You speak."
Jiang Mu briefly recounted the whole story and handed over the secret letter.
Ran Qingshan took the letter and quickly scanned it.
After reading it, his tightly furrowed brows visibly relaxed a bit.
The contents of the letter are enough to prove that all of this was Liu's crazy act, and the others in the Chang family were unaware of it.
This is very important.
As long as General Chang is not involved, this matter will be much easier to handle.
Ran Qingshan then turned his gaze back to the corpse, feigning ignorance as he asked, "So, this is Madam Liu from the Chang family?"
"That's right." Jiang Mu nodded.
Ran Qingshan tucked the letter into his sleeve and said in a deep voice:
"This woman secretly colluded with evil spirits and practiced demonic arts, thus becoming a demon herself."
You killed her in accordance with the law, and you did a good job.
I will report this matter truthfully to the Commander-in-Chief. As for the Chang family, I will handle the explanation myself, so you don't need to worry."
A hammer is fixed.
By directly labeling Madam Liu as a demon, Jiang Mu received the greatest legal support.
"Thank you, sir." Jiang Mu bowed.
Ran Qingshan looked at the young man before him, who still carried a hint of fierceness, with a complex expression. He patted the young man's shoulder and said:
"You go back and rest first, leave the rest to me."
"Yes."
Jiang Mu bowed and took his leave.
As Jiang Mu brushed past Wen He's trusted confidant, she suddenly stopped and stared at him with a half-smile:
"I'll remember you. If you don't want to become a piece of trash, then wash your ass clean and wait for me at the government office, otherwise... hmph!"
His confidant turned pale.
After Jiang Mu's figure disappeared into the distance, Ran Qingshan looked at Wen He:
"Master Wen, have your men search the surrounding area again thoroughly. Don't worry, this case will be taken over directly by our department and won't affect your department's performance evaluation."
"Master, I—"
"I will be informed of the specific results after the investigation is completed."
Before he could finish speaking, Ran Qingshan signaled his subordinates to collect Madam Liu's body and then turned to go into the secret room to investigate.
Wen He watched Ran Qingshan's departing figure, regret welling up in his eyes.
He realized that he had been overly cautious this time.
"Master..."
Wang Ershang cautiously inquired, "Should we temporarily close off the entire street?"
Wenhe stared at him, a forced smile on his face: "You're the head of the hall, you decide!"
After saying that, they brushed past each other.
Wang Ershang's face turned pale, and he finally managed a bitter smile.
……
After entering the secret room, Ran Qingshan slowed down his pace.
Yan Fenghuo followed beside him and whispered, "Hall Master Wen has really changed. He wasn't like this before."
"yes."
Ran Qingshan sighed.
"Old Wen was so spirited back then, but I don't know when he became like this."
Perhaps realizing that he had no hope of breaking through or getting promoted, and that his life was pretty much over, he decided to settle for a stable life.
Yan Fenghuo hesitated for a moment, then said:
"However, Hall Master Jiang was indeed a bit impulsive today."
"I think it's great."
Ran Qingshan smiled. "The Demon Slayer Division is currently lifeless and desperately needs people like this. If everyone were like Wen He, our Huzhou City would have been finished long ago."
Yan Fenghuo remained silent for a moment, then suddenly said:
"Master, I'm ready to test him."
"Oh? How should I test you?"
"The patrol team has received a new intelligence report: the wolf demon that cooperated with the Mist Demon's invasion last time is currently hiding in Black Wind Valley outside the city."
A glint of light flashed in Yan Fenghuo's eyes. "As long as the scouts confirm the exact location, I will lead my men to wipe them out."
"Are you planning to bring Hall Master Jiang along?"
"Um."
Yan Fenghuo nodded emphatically.
"That wolf demon had been lurking in the city for a long time. And we also investigated afterwards and found that the place where it hid was very close to the Jiang family."
If Jiang Mu is indeed the mole, he most likely knows this wolf demon and may even have had contact with it.
Not far from the Jiang family's house...
Ran Qingshan remained silent for a long time, and finally nodded slightly:
"Proceed with caution. Protect him to the fullest extent of the law until the evidence is conclusive."
"clear."
Yan Fenghuo patted his chest and assured him, "Don't worry, sir, this time, we will definitely be able to find him."
If I can't get the answer from this test, I, Yan Fenghuo, will stand upside down and swallow excrement in public!
-
Jiang Mu returned home.
Bai Xiang was reclining leisurely on a deck chair under the eaves, reading a book carefully, with a rare sense of ease in his eyes.
On the sandy ground inside the courtyard, Yuan Aqing was practicing her stance training.
After days of nourishing her with medicinal cuisine and rigorous training, the girl's thin figure gradually unfolded like a tender willow branch.
Although her skin was still slightly dark, her eyes and brows already revealed a touch of ethereal beauty.
Jiang Mu vaguely sensed that this girl had already touched the threshold of a certain realm.
While this speed can't match his own when he's cheating, it's still outstanding among ordinary people, and could even be considered genius-level.
"master!"
After finishing her routine, Yuan Aqing smiled shyly.
"You've practiced well."
Jiang Mu reached out and ruffled the girl's hair, laughing, "As expected of my Qing, you've already shown a tenth of my talent at such a young age."
The girl blushed and said, "It's all thanks to Master's excellent teaching."
"That must be because I taught them well."
Jiang Mu accepted it without hesitation, then changed the subject.
"However, I must also thank your Aunt Bai Xiang. If it weren't for her daily nourishing medicinal meals, where would you get the strength to cultivate?"
Bai Xiang paused in turning the pages of her book on the recliner.
Aunt?
Yuan Aqing was also taken aback, and said weakly, "Master... isn't she called Sister Xiang?"
"What do you mean, 'sister'? Call me 'auntie'."
Jiang Mu took her little hand and led her to Bai Xiang. "Come on, say 'Thank you, Aunt Bai Xiang'."
Baixiang: "..."
This person can be incredibly naive at times.
Yuan Aqing dared not disobey, and blushed as she whispered, "Thank you... Sister Xiang, Auntie."
This little girl manages to offend neither side.
Jiang Mu chuckled and patted her shoulder: "Go and boil some hot water for the master; he needs a bath."
"Why!"
Yuan Aqing responded cheerfully and turned to run towards the kitchen.
Jiang Mu glanced at Bai Xiang, who was still pretending to be calm, and hummed a little tune as she returned to her room.
While changing clothes, the rag doll found on Madam Liu fell out.
Jiang Mu picked it up.
"What the hell is this thing?"
Jiang Mu examined it carefully.
My instinct told me that this doll must be some kind of evil magic weapon from the demon realm.
It's estimated that the demon gave it to Madam Liu so she could use it to curse her wife or other enemies.
"Since it's a magical artifact, even if it's evil, shouldn't it be able to be modified with demonic energy?"
To verify his hypothesis, Jiang Mu tried to mobilize the demonic energy in the magic tank and slowly inject it into the doll.
As demonic energy surged in, the doll indeed began to transform.
The rough linen gradually became smooth, the bloodstains faded, and pale gold threads emerged.
Immediately afterwards, the demonic blood in the magic tank surged into the doll like a floodgate being opened.
The water level in the magic tank dropped rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Holy crap! A vampire!"
Jiang Mu felt a pang of heartache at the sight, and her face turned green.
He considered stopping several times, but he was afraid of ruining the thing by giving up halfway, so he could only grit his teeth and persevere.
The doll finally stopped absorbing the magic blood until only a thin layer remained in the magic tank.
At this moment, the rag doll in Jiang Mu's hand had been completely renewed.
It is woven with gold threads and has a jade-like texture.
Her features were strikingly similar, bearing a seven or eight-tenths resemblance to him.
Moreover, it exudes a faint golden light, and there is not a trace of evil about it.
It's been completely modified!
At the same time, a message flooded into Jiang Mu's mind.
"Scapegoat doll!"
Jiang Mu was stunned.
Judging from the information from the feedback, this is a magical artifact that can take his place in death.
Even if he were slapped into mincemeat or burned to ashes, this rag doll could bring him back to life.
Jiang Mu's eyes shone brightly, her heart filled with joy.
This is good stuff.
Isn't this just having an extra life?
I never expected that killing a slut would bring me such a reward.
Jiang Mu was secretly delighted.
