After greeting each other, they parted ways.
Quiet night.
"Meow~!~!" A shrill cat cry disrupted the peace of Fencheng.
When Gu Can woke up, he heard a commotion outside. After washing up and changing his clothes, he walked out of the room and saw Gu Yan standing in front of a group of officials.
"What cat demon? I don't know what you are talking about. Our Xiaohua is very well-behaved and never runs around. Besides, it is so fat, how can it run?" Gu Yan said.
"The Monster Hunting Division is investigating a case. If you continue to obstruct us, don't blame me for being merciless!" The man in the lead had already drawn his sword.
"What are you making noise about?"
"I am Lin Chao from the Fencheng Monster Hunting Division. My humble opinion is to greet Master Young Master."
"No need to be so polite. What happened?" Guan Yunbai asked.
"Last night, ten people from the Li family in the east of the city were killed by having their hearts dug out. It was confirmed that it was done by a cat demon. We followed the cat demon's scent all the way here, but this girl kept trying to stop us." Lin Chao returned.
"It's impossible that Xiaohua slept with me last night. How could I not know whether it went out or not? It even eats hearts. Our Xiaohua is very picky. It hates offal the most." Gu Yan shouted.
"The cat's aura is pure, without any evil spirit. If it had eaten a human heart or killed someone last night, the Bu'a sword in my hand would have sounded the alarm long ago. Perhaps there is some misunderstanding." Xiao Yuanjing had also come out a long time ago and knew what had happened.
"Who is this?"
"He is Xiao Yuanjing, the disciple of Tianxuan Sect. Hero Xiao, you should believe what he says." Gu Yan said.
"But."
"Greetings, Lord Lin." Gu Can walked forward.
"Miss, there's no need to be so polite. What's the matter?" Lin Chao was not the unreasonable person. Since Gu Can was so polite, his attitude improved a lot.
"This is my cat. May I ask, sir, where are the bodies of the Li family members? How did you determine that it was the cat demon who did it? And how did you track it here? Could you tell me?"
"The bodies were sent to the Monster Hunting Bureau and the Coroner's Office. The traces left at the scene were indeed beyond human power. People nearby did hear the cat's cry, and there were also cat claw marks on the bodies. We found a tuft of cat hair at Li's house, and used the monster-hunting bell we asked for from the Tianxuan Sect to track it all the way." Lin Chao said.
"So that's how it is. Give me the little flower." Gu Can said to Gu Yan.
"Cancan."
"It's okay. I'll take Xiaohua to the Demon Hunting Division. The Li family was killed for no reason. The most urgent task now is to find the real murderer. Xiaohua is not the real murderer, and we should find out as soon as possible to avoid wasting time and letting the real murderer escape." Gu Can took Xiaohua from Gu Yan's hands.
"Then I'll go too." Gu Yan said.
"Then I'll go with you. This involves human lives, how can I stand idly by?" Guan Yunbai said.
"As disciples of the Tianxuan Sect, we are responsible for exorcising demons. Since this involves demons, I wonder if I can go and see those corpses." Xiao Yuanjing asked.
"Then I'd like to thank Hero Xiao first. Young Master, please." Lin Chao finally understood that both Hero Xiao and Young Master were doing this for the two girls, but there was nothing wrong with having someone help solve the case anyway.
