However, the miraculous thing was that the circle of fire spread to the edge of the yard and then suddenly disappeared, as if it had never existed.
Liu Yong took a closer look and found that the bodies on the ground were not damaged at all.
Tu Qing stood up with a frown on his face, wondering, "Isn't it a demon?"
"Master Tu? What's the situation?" County Magistrate Fang, who was hiding outside the door, shouted loudly towards the inside.
Tu Qing came out and explained, "The demon-transforming powder fell to the ground, which means there is no demonic energy in the air, so I lit the demon-transforming powder. If there are traces of demonic beasts left on the ground, the lit demon-transforming powder will be dyed green.
"But now the demon powder has completely burned out, leaving no trace. This means this case may not have been committed by a demon beast."
Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Fang asked anxiously, "Master Tu, are you sure? If this isn't a demon beast, could it really be a ghost?"
Upon hearing this, Ling Qingxue looked at County Magistrate Fang coldly.
Tu Qingze patiently explained, "If it wasn't done by a monster, then it could have been man-made. However, Fuyesi only deals with monster cases, so this man-made case is your responsibility."
At this time, Liu Yong hesitated and told County Magistrate Fang about the arrest of Zhou Zhilu this morning.
County Magistrate Fang's eyes lit up: "Quick! Return to the county office. I want to personally interrogate the prisoner!"
After leaving the courtyard, County Magistrate Fang glanced at Tu Qing who was walking in front of him, quietly slowed down his pace, and came to Liu Yong's side.
"Sir?" Liu Yong called out in confusion.
"Hush!" County Magistrate Fang immediately whispered, then looked around and asked quietly, "What do you think of this case? Are you sure that boy is the criminal?"
Liu Yong hesitated for a moment before shaking his head helplessly, "Your Excellency, there are too few clues, and the case is extremely bizarre. It doesn't seem like it was human error. The young man we captured was just average, and he claimed he was just crouching on the roof of the house watching what was happening. In my opinion, he's not the real culprit."
County Magistrate Fang was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "The higher-ups have issued an order that this case must be closed within three days. Otherwise, I'm afraid both you and I will lose our official positions."
Liu Yong hurriedly said, "I will do my best!"
County Magistrate Fang curled his lips and looked at Liu Yong with contempt.
He gently patted Liu Yong's shoulder and said, "Your family just had a third child recently, right? For the sake of our family, and our official careers, that person had better be the murderer. Besides, that person did something shameful, so there's no blame! You understand what I mean, right?"
Liu Yong was stunned and didn't reply for a while.
