Chisha appears

"Then I'll give you a few words. If you think I'm right, you can pay me later." Seeing Mr. Zhao agree, he said, "Pomegranate tree, black cat hitting corpse, resentful corpse resurrection. How do I calculate it?"

Hearing this, Zhao Hu instantly became alert, his eyes full of suspicion. At this moment, his nerves were on edge, and the slightest sign of trouble would make Zhao Hu suspicious.

What's more, the words spoken by this so-called demon hunter in front of him were not only accurate, but it was as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

"It seems I was right."

"No. I never believe in monsters. I only believe that everything depends on human effort."

"Oh, there's no hope." He sighed and shook his head, and was about to leave. Before leaving, he said, "Next time you ask me for help, it will cost you five gold bars."

"No need, nothing happened at my house."

He didn't speak to him again, but went down the mountain alone and drove his carriage back to the inn. Only after he entered the inn did Mr. Zhao leave for home and stop following him. He told them about his conversation with Zhao Hu.

After hearing this, Chu Xiao asked doubtfully, "I still don't quite understand the meaning of your plan. Isn't it a bit too troublesome? It would be faster for me to see it with my own eyes and catch it with my own hands. Besides, your plan is indeed a bit too drastic. Won't scaring Zhao Hu to death by threatening him like that?"

Heng Jin said, "Don't worry, Zhao Hu has killed so many people, he's very brave and won't be scared to death."

"But the body was right there in the backyard. When we dug in, we found evidence all over the ground."

"Just you and Ami as witnesses are useless. You knew that, so you didn't go directly, right? The emperor sent you, a high-ranking official, to Dishui Town to investigate a minor missing person case. Now that you're here, you have to bring back a witness who can convince the entire court, right? Who do you think the missing person is? I've calculated it with my fingers. If this case isn't handled properly, it will be a dead end. Your dead end, understand?"

"Did you tell him?" Chu Xiao asked Yuanli.

"Not me, I didn't say anything."

"Didn't I tell you that I can tell fortunes and I'm also a demon catcher? It won't be difficult for me to raise two little demons to explore your memory."

Chu Xiao cast a questioning look at Ah Li, but when she nodded, he was still a little skeptical. He asked, "Then look at my memory. Where is the grave of my good friend Qi Heng? What is buried in the grave? What does it mean to him?"

Only he and Qi Heng knew the answers to the questions he asked.

Hearing this, Heng Jin breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't use magic on mortals, but fortunately, what he asked were things he knew.

"He was buried on the top of Yuezhao Mountain, overlooking Jiwang Valley. The grave contained his engagement certificate and other things from his past with his beloved. The ashes sprinkled on the coffin were from the clothes in the two large wardrobes in his secret room. He told you they were clothes he bought for his unborn children, but they would never wear them again."

Every word he said was true, as if he had seen it with his own eyes. Chu Xiao finally believed it completely.

"Since you can read my memories, I don't need to explain the missing persons case to you again. But, what do you mean by a dead end?"

To ensure authenticity, Heng Jin pretended to count randomly with her fingers and muttered something incomprehensible to herself.

"I calculated that you would come into contact with the bloodline of an emperor other than the emperor, right here. Now it seems that no matter what you choose, it seems to be a dead end."

"The blood of the emperor... the blood of the emperor... but the current emperor has no children living outside, and he has no women he has an affair with outside."

Chu Xiao pondered, trying to piece together the scattered clues. He immediately stood up and said goodbye, ready to go back and carefully examine the clues.

After seeing Chu Xiao leave in a carriage upstairs, Tianshu reminded them, "No matter what you are looking for, you cannot interfere with the fate of mortals."

Heng Jin said, "I know. I didn't calculate his fate, nor did I read his memory. I just told him what I know."

"So what are you talking about, the dead end and the Emperor's bloodline?"

"Xiao Yan'an had no offspring who lived past the age of ten. Before I died, his health was already on the verge of collapse. Xiao Yan'an was the only heir left of the previous emperor, with no royal family members. This would mean that upon Xiao Yan'an's death, there would be no imperial bloodline to inherit the throne. The Imperial Capital was in turmoil, and the seal of King Yu reappeared. A letter revealing that King Yu actually had a surviving bloodline, two heirs, was delivered to the door of the important minister's residence by different beggars that morning. However, this matter was quickly suppressed. The Dali Temple concluded that it was the work of spies from another country impersonating me. Xiao Yan'an asked me to say this. To protect the family, only Xiao Yan'an and I knew the truth, so I didn't tell Chu Xiao."

"So, is this Prince Yu's heir real?"

"I don't know, and I didn't dare to check. But when I got those letters, I compared them with the ones with the seal of King Yu, and they were indeed the ones with the seal of King Yu. The seal of King Yu was lost. Legend has it that King Yu swallowed it and it sank into the sea with his body, and it could not be salvaged. But King Yu's body was never found, and Xiao Yan'an has always been concerned about it. He is also an extremely sensitive, suspicious, and intelligent person. Regardless of whether the heir of King Yu is real, he will thoroughly investigate and eliminate anything that may affect his plans, even inflammatory rumors. Chu Xiao only needs to get this little hint to react. How important can the missing person be for Xiao Yan'an to ask the Dali Temple Minister to personally investigate the missing person?"

Cha Suxun interrupted, "But your reminder is that by intervening in this case to retrieve personal effects, we're interfering with mortal karma. Even Li Ci's appearance is a violation of this. In any case, this is considered abuse of power for personal gain. Admit it. I need to remind you that your lifespan is fixed. Even if he changed the outcome of this matter, it would only be a change in the way he died. However, the punishment for interfering in mortal karma will not change."

Heng Jin understood what Cha Suxun meant. He was indeed being partial, so he didn't say anything more.

Yuanli asked, "By the way, what did you mean yesterday afternoon when you said that Changmei had some connection with the Yanye Wolf Clan, and that she couldn't control her memories?"

"To ensure the absolute purity of their bloodline, the Yan wolf clan only breeds with members of the Yan clan. They place great importance on bloodline purity. Before a newborn is born, they must report it to the elders at least a month in advance. The elders will then send someone to ensure the purity of the bloodline is confirmed as soon as possible and brand the newborn with the Yan clan emblem."

"I didn't find any family crest on Changmei. Where is the Yan family crest usually? How can we confirm whether her bloodline is pure or not? Even looking at her real body, we can't tell."

"The mark is usually found between the right ilium and the lower abdomen. Changmei does have this mark. I don't know how to confirm it, but the method used is a secret method passed down by the Yan wolf clan, and it is indeed very accurate. It is said that the Yan clan's initial rise to power was due to the clan leader using this secret technique to determine the bloodline of a certain great demon clan, exposing a family scandal. Later, many large clans asked him to perform tests, and as a result, those who suspected that their family's bloodline was not normal would seek the Yan clan's help."

Heng Jin talked a lot, her attention focused on the location of the mark he mentioned. She was a little confused about which bone the ilium was, so she tilted her head to glance at Cha Suxun, and he reached out and touched her ilium. Only then did she realize it was the protruding bones on both sides of her lower abdomen.

In an instant, she frowned slightly, rolled her eyes at him subconsciously, and didn't want to look at him again.

He cursed in his heart to the other Yuanli: Lecher!

Cha Suxun said, "No matter what Changmei is, she is still an unmarried woman. Regardless of how you knew Changmei's mark, the location of her mark should not be revealed by a man like you. A woman's reputation has always been important."

Heng Jin explained, "I haven't seen her mark. I used Chi Sha to make it read her memory, and Chi Sha came back and told me."

"What is Chisha?"

"It's a creature that can speak. It looks like a dragonfly, but is much smaller, about the size of a thumb. It's psychic and can read people's memories. The Millennium Chishao can even record memories and then show them to its owner. It can also answer questions. I only asked questions, I didn't see them, really."

As he spoke, Heng Jin really took out the thousand-year-old Chisha and showed them, especially her, the entire process from when he sent Chisha to read Changmei's memory to when Chisha replied.

Chisha appears, and Changmei's memory comes back.

Her memory was a little strange and incomplete, consisting almost entirely of disconnected fragments.

Heng Jin said, "If she had lost her memory, or if something was suppressing it, this thousand-year-old Chi would reveal it. Changmei's memory is so shattered, it's clear someone is deliberately extracting her memory."

"Extracting memories? Like how gods can make people lose their memory?" she asked.

Tianshu said, "I've encountered monsters with similar conditions to Changmei before. It was with several former members of the Xieyuan clan that I captured back then. At the time, I wanted to use their memories to find the other members of the Xieyuan clan that had escaped, but their memories were the same. It was as if the memories had vanished into thin air, and that blank space in their memories could never be restored to normal. When immortals cause mortals to lose their memories, it's simply forgotten or sealed away. Even more powerful gods can still restore their memories."

"So, the reason for Changmei's memory gaps is most likely the same as those of Xie Yuan's former subordinates?"

"It's possible. I think it might be necessary to investigate the Yan family." Tianshu said.

"This is what I want to remind you. Right now, Changmei is very likely being controlled by Xie Yuan's former subordinates without knowing it. You must be careful and cautious in your future actions." Heng Jin asked Cha Suxun, "Is there anything you can't reveal?"

"No."

After discussing the plan, they each returned to their rooms to wait for the opportunity.

Pulling her to the edge of the couch, Cha Suxun confirmed that no one was eavesdropping before writing on her palm: I need you to get Chi Sha, and then ask him where and when to get Chi Sha. Don't let him know that I asked you to go.

She guessed and pondered this long list one by one before she finally understood the sentence completely.

For the first time ever, Cha Suxun asked for the thing in Heng Jin's hand. Although she couldn't guess his intention, she still agreed and tried her best to get it.
