Poison Demon Immortal

Chapter 10 The Martial Immortal Family
Xiao Cui, the maid holding the lotus seed soup, couldn't make up her mind for a while.

But after waiting quietly for a while, Xiao Cui noticed something was wrong again.

It seems that there is only the sound of playing the erhu upstairs.

Didn't Master Pan come today?
After thinking for a while, Xiao Cui slowly went upstairs with the lotus seed lamp in her hand.

The upstairs door was not closed, it was just ajar...

Xiaocui stood at the door and wanted to enter but dared not.

The sound of the erhu in the room didn't stop at all, and the maid Xiaocui could just see the bed through the crack of the door.

The lady's bed is still tidy, so she probably hasn't done that.

Xiao Cui gently pushed open the half-covered door. It seemed that only Master Jiuji, who was playing the erhu, was in the room, but the master was clearly downstairs, how did he get upstairs?
"Master... your lotus seed soup is ready." Xiaocui cleared her throat and said in her own voice.

"Bring it here."

"Okay." Xiaocui walked towards Jiuji with the lotus seed soup.

There are some water stains on the ground...

Xiao Cui gently put the lotus seed soup on the table, and then asked curiously, "Master... how did you get upstairs?"

Jiuji didn't answer but pulled up the erhu on his own.

"Master...how about I help you go to bed?" the maid Xiaocui asked tentatively.

Jiuji didn't answer, just closed his eyes and played the erhu by himself.

"Master, master..." Xiaocui called repeatedly, but Jiuji still didn't say a word, just played the erhu.

a little weird...

It's not just the young master, this room also seems a little weird.

Xiao Cui turned her head to the tub beside her. The tub was a little full of water, almost overflowing the water.

Xiao Cui slowly approached the tub...

There were medicinal herbs floating on the surface of the tub, as well as black filaments.

what is that?
When Xiao Cui walked into the bathtub completely, she couldn't stop trembling all over.

There are two heads in that tub, and those two heads are underwater.

"Ah!" Xiao Cui uttered a cry of surprise, and rushed out the door.

Jiuji still played the erhu, without saying a word, as if immersed in the music.

Xiaocui escaped from Zhang's mansion and rushed to the mansion in a panic, which was on Xiaorong Street.

There has been a murder, and the police will come soon.

Jiuji didn't intend to run away at all, he put down his erhu, and ate up the lotus seed soup on the table in a leisurely manner.

When Butou Nie led a group of police officers into Zhang's mansion, he heard the sound of Erhu in the small courtyard from a distance.

dong dong dong dong...

A group of detectives rushed to the second floor.

Jiuji quickly stopped playing the erhu, and shouted in horror: "Who is it?"

"who are you?"

All the arresters did not speak, but silently came to the bathtub.

"Don't tamper with the things here." Nie Jianfeng ordered loudly.

"Yes, boss." Many headhunters responded loudly.

"Who are you? Why do you want to break into a private house? Take whatever you want from Zhang's house, and don't kill anyone." Jiuji said with a worried face.

"Master Zhang, I'm Nie Jianfeng, the head catcher of the government office. Have you been playing the erhu here tonight?" Nie Jianfeng asked.

"Yes..." Jiuji nodded and admitted.

Nie Jianfeng looked at a pot of tea, two teacups, an empty bowl and a spoon in front of Jiuji.

Nie Jianfeng reached out to touch the teapot. The teapot was so light that there wasn't even a drop of tea in it.

Empty bowls, empty cups, empty teapots...

A blind man playing the erhu.

The door is wide open.

The empty Zhang Mansion.

This case is so mysterious...

That night.

The government office in Liuyang Town is brightly lit.

"There is such a big murder case in Liuyang Town, I am not qualified to try it as a small pavilion chief." Liuyang Town Pavilion Chief Xu said solemnly.

"I have protected the scene according to the regulations." Nie Butou said.

"Where are the people from the Zhang residence?"

"They are all staying in the mansion for the time being. I have sent police officers to watch them in turn."

"You did a good job... Zhang Xiaojing used to be a writer in the provincial capital. Although he has retired and returned to his hometown now, he must still have connections. Both of us are scumbag officials in the Daqian Dynasty. If we can not offend Do not offend."

"The old man Zhang Xiaojing is not in the Zhang residence."

"Eh... Could it be that he fled in fear of crime?"

"Probably not, most likely it's for rent collection. I'll find someone to verify it tomorrow, and I can rule out Mr. Zhang's suspicion."

"Who do you think did it?" Xu Tingchang asked suddenly.

"This case is too complicated and confusing. Only Young Master Jiuji was at the scene of the murder, but he has no ability to kill. No matter how you look at it, he seems to be setting the blame on him. The subordinates want to investigate for a while, maybe they can find out the real culprit." Nie Jianfeng frowned. Said with a big wrinkle.

"Investigate the case?"

"Yes."

"Jianfeng...how big an official we are and what a big thing we do. This kind of murder is investigated by the magistrate. You only investigate if the magistrate asks you to investigate. Don't start the investigation rashly if the magistrate doesn't ask you to investigate. , be careful not to waste effort."

"My lord taught me..."

"According to the regulations, tomorrow morning, I will bring the suspect, witnesses, physical evidence and the corpses of the two deceased to report the case to the prefect. If Zhang Xiaojing is not caught, the prefect will naturally ask us to go. Verify, we don't want to make claims, and there is no need to investigate the case in advance."

"Jianfeng... the most important thing for you now is to protect the murder scene and never allow anyone to destroy it."

"This subordinate understands, but..." Nie Jianfeng showed a hint of hesitation.

"You have something to say."

"Accordingly, Zhang Jiuji, son of the Zhang family, has the most motive to kill, but he is blind and has no ability to kill. I think he can be ruled out as a suspect, and there is no need to bring him to Linjiang City." Nie Jianfeng expressed his judgment .

"Then who are you going to ask the officer to bring up as a suspect?"

"Of course there are no suspects."

"Inappropriate... That not only makes me appear incompetent, but the most important thing is that I will offend the Pan family, not to mention that Zhang Jiuji is the only person at the scene of the murder. He is a suspect based on this alone."

"As long as you are not blind, everyone knows that it is just setting the blame..." Nie Jianfeng said decisively.

"Whether to marry or not is to be judged by the magistrate, not by you or me. Tomorrow I will be responsible for bringing the person up, and you will be responsible for guarding the scene. Once this matter is done, it will be over." Xu Tingchang Said solemnly.

Then you ask me who is the murderer?

Nie Jianfeng rolled his eyes.

"You only know that Zhang Xiaojing has a wide network of contacts, but you don't know that the Pan family has a strong background. Let alone the two of us, even the magistrate may not be able to provoke you..."

"Then the Pan family helped the Liang family of the Martial Immortal family collect medicinal materials. They worked for the Martial Immortal family. Now that Pan Changyun is dead, the attitude of the Liang family is the most important..."

"If the Liang family doesn't care about the Pan family, then we will follow the process step by step. If the Liang family wants to intervene in this case, it will be complicated... In short, we should not get too involved in this matter. According to the magistrate's instructions Just do what you want." Xu Tingchang said with a sigh.

"Family of Martial Immortals..." Nie Jianfeng chewed on the weight of these four words, and felt that not to mention the blind young master of the Zhang family, even the master of the Zhang family would be in danger.

"Thank you for telling me, sir, Jianfeng knows how powerful it is." Nie Jianfeng replied solemnly.

Exactly at this time.

A police officer came to report.

"You two adults, the second wife of the Pan family, Meng Yuniang, the third wife Li Huixiu, and the fourth wife Pan Yueqin have arrived at the government office."

"Go! Let's go together." Xu Tingchang ordered.
