"Knock, knock, knock."
"Zhou Zhilu! Open the door!"
"If you don't open it, I'll break in."
“…”
The knock on the door woke Zhou Zhilu up slowly. When he heard Ling Qingxue knocking on the door, he supported himself on the bed and sat up.
He rubbed his still dizzy head, hurriedly got out of bed and opened the door.
Ling Qingxue looked at Zhou Zhilu's pale face and frowned, "You... got a stitch in the side again?"
Zhou Zhilu was stunned when he heard this, touched his face, and then reacted and covered it up: "Ahem, yes, I feel that this place is a little...uncomfortable."
Ling Qingxue glanced at Zhou Zhilu suspiciously, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Practice isn't something that can be done overnight. It takes a long time to go further... Once this matter is over, I'll guide you through the details of practice."
Zhou Zhilu was pleasantly surprised when he heard this and said, "Thank you very much, Miss Ling."
Ling Qingxue walked into the room and casually asked, "What do you think of today's investigation?"
Zhou Zhilu sat at the tea table, poured a glass of water, drank it slowly, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Ling Qingxue frowned slightly when she saw this, but did not disturb him.
After a moment, Zhou Zhilu put down his teacup and said, "Actually, I originally had a guess. I suspected that the demon was Wang Qian in disguise. Perhaps he was hiding his identity or something. Anyway, I thought there was a conflict between him and Xiuhua, and he lost control and killed Xiuhua."
Ling Qingxue was startled and frowned as she asked, "Is Wang Qian a demon?"
Zhou Zhilu sighed: "There is no direct evidence, it's just my guess."
Ling Qingxue asked doubtfully, "But judging from what you said, you think Wang Qian isn't the murderer?"
Zhou Zhilu smiled bitterly and said, "After yesterday's investigation, the possibility of Wang Qian being a demon has actually decreased. After all, if he really was a demon who could transform, how could he do manual labor to earn money? It doesn't make sense, unless he suddenly became a demon later..."
Zhou Zhilu was stunned for a moment, then a vague inspiration struck his mind. He quickly asked Ling Qingxue, "Is there a method in this world that can transform a human into a demon?"
"Become a demon?"
Ling Qingxue frowned and thought for a long time before saying, "From what I know, it's very difficult to achieve. Ordinary people simply cannot withstand the power of the demon race. This kind of transformation requires the assistance of various treasures. I don't think anyone in this county can achieve this."
Zhou Zhilu asked somewhat unwillingly, "Are you sure? Maybe you know too little?"
Ling Qingxue looked at Zhou Zhilu coldly without saying a word.
Zhou Zhilu smiled awkwardly and changed the subject, "Anyway, I think we should still go to Fengyuan Escort Agency to take a look. After all, as far as we can see, Wang Qian has a special relationship with this Fengyuan Escort Agency.
"By the way, Miss Ling, there's something I'd like to ask you to help investigate..."
“…”
…
Feng Yuan Escort Agency is located in the center of Yancheng County. The five-story courtyard is quite luxurious, with rockery, ponds, and a huge martial arts training ground. Many people in khaki training uniforms are practicing in the square.
In the guest room of the inner courtyard, the burly Feng Yuan was warmly entertaining Zhou Zhilu and Ling Qingxue.
"Hahahaha, you are a guest from afar, and I have always heard of Fu Ye Si's great name. Today is the first time I have the honor of meeting the famous Fu Ye Wei. I must allow me to treat you two well. Why not stay for lunch today?"
"Captain Feng, you are too polite. We came here this time because we have something to ask you." Zhou Zhilu said with a bow.
Feng Yuan said generously, "Just tell me what you want. I will tell you everything I know."
"I wonder if the escort leader knows anything about the murder case in Xiliu Village?"
"Xiliu Village?" Feng Yuan shook his head and smiled. "There are so many villages around Yancheng County that I'm not very familiar with them. As for this murder case, I know nothing about it."
"I see... Because the husband of the deceased in this murder case is called Wang Qian. Does the escort leader have any impression of this person?"
"Hahaha, Lord Zhou, there are at least 800 people working in the escort agency. I can't possibly remember all their names, right? I really don't have any impression of the Wang Qian you mentioned."
"Really? But I heard from others that Wang Qian had seen you before, and even often traveled between the factory and the escort agency." Zhou Zhilu asked, staring into Feng Yuan's eyes.
Feng Yuan smiled and said, "It seems that Lord Zhou doesn't believe what I said. How about this, I ask Butler Zhang, maybe he will know."
Then he called over a thin man with a mustache.
"Butler Zhang, is there a man named Wang Qian among the people below? From what Lord Zhou said, this man should come to our escort agency frequently."
Butler Zhang was puzzled and said, "Head Escort, I've never heard of this name."
Feng Yuan smiled and waved at Zhou Zhilu, saying, "Master Zhou, we haven't heard of this person. Perhaps he's too insignificant, or perhaps...Master Zhou, you're looking in the wrong direction?"
Zhou Zhilu was silent.
After a while, Zhou Zhilu smiled and said, "It's okay, let's not talk about him anymore and talk about other things. I heard that Feng Biaotou would give out some places every once in a while so that his men could go to live in the bigger city. Such behavior is truly admirable."
Feng Yuan laughed loudly, "Hahahaha, no, no, I just want to make a contribution to the people of Yancheng County."
“I just don’t know where these people who have been allocated quotas are arranged?”
"Of course, they are assigned to escort agencies in various places."
"Where exactly are they? I wonder if the escort leader would be willing to take me down to have a look?"
Feng Yuan was stunned and asked in confusion, "Why is Your Excellency so interested in this matter? It's natural for me to take you there, but I've been busy with some things recently, so it's really not convenient for me."
