At this time, the eyes of the servant who collapsed on the ground gradually became clear.
When the servant looked around and saw clearly where he was, he hurriedly used his hands and feet to crawl towards County Magistrate Fang.
As he crawled, he shouted in fear, "Sir, help me! There's a ghost! It's the former imperial concubine! She's turned into a ghost and is here for revenge!"
This sentence seemed to stir up a thousand waves, and for a while everyone in the county government office was talking about it.
Tu Qing hurriedly asked, "The imperial concubine of the previous dynasty? Which imperial concubine? Why did you come here for revenge? Explain clearly!"
However, the servant on the ground suddenly twitched, his limbs curled up with cramps, and white foam kept coming out of his mouth. County Magistrate Fang was so scared that he quickly stepped back.
Tu Qing hurriedly squatted down to check, but the servant soon died.
County Magistrate Fang asked quietly, "Master Tu, what...what on earth is going on?"
Tu Qing sighed and stood up, looking at the black silkworm in his hand and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this demon insect should be called the Illusionary Heart Silkworm. It's rare and extremely rare, so rare that I couldn't recognize it at first sight.
"It can secrete a mind-enchanting liquid that causes hallucinations in those who smell it, and then gradually erode the other person's body through its own silk, thereby controlling them.
“And this… might be the main reason why everyone in the Chen family died in such a tragic way.
"As for this servant...his body has been parasitized for too long and has long been damaged."
Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Fang's brows were filled with joy, and he hurriedly congratulated, "Congratulations, Master Tu, for being one step closer to solving the case. If, as Master Tu said, this case is caused by a demonic calamity, then this humble official..."
However, Tu Qing ignored him completely and slowly walked up to Zhou Zhilu. He looked at Zhou Zhilu with a complicated expression as he was pinching his nose with a look of disgust.
"Zhou Zhilu, huh...you win.
"This case is a demon case, and it should be handled by the Fuye Division. I will report the case in detail to the court, including how County Magistrate Fang planned and forced the conviction."
"Bang!"
However, upon hearing this, County Magistrate Fang behind him felt his legs go weak and he fell to the ground.
He felt even more sad in his heart. It turned out that Tu Qing heard what he said to Liu Yong!
If this is not a demon case, I will be the one to write and report the case details myself, and I will be able to decide how to write it.
But this is a demon case! It's a demon case led by Fuyesi!
Given Tu Qing's status as a fourth-rank night guard, if he were to sue me, I'm afraid I'd never be able to wear this hat again!
But during the day, I clearly said that this was not a case of a demon! Tu Qing, you are harming me!
Unfortunately, no one cared about what County Magistrate Fang was thinking at this time.
Tu Qing continued, "According to the agreement, you can make a request, and as long as it's not excessive, I can help you realize it."
Zhou Zhilu grinned when he heard that, and couldn't help but want to see Ling Qingxue's expression at this moment and show off.
Unexpectedly, when Ling Qingxue saw Zhou Zhilu looking at her with a lewd expression, her face instantly turned red, as if she had been insulted.
Even Tu Qing frowned.
"My request is that I follow this case throughout the entire process and understand all the details of the case. Nothing can be hidden from me!"
"Absolutely not... uh, is that it?" Tu Qing said subconsciously, but then froze.
Zhou Zhilu asked curiously, "What else? Why are you looking at me like that? What do you think is going on?"
Tu Qing glanced at his disciple, whose face was slightly red, and said with his hands covering his mouth: "Ahem, it's nothing. I'm just curious why you made this request."
Zhou Zhilu shrugged and said, "This case has caused me so much pain, it's only natural that I want to know the final outcome. I have nothing better to do than investigate the case."
Tu Qing nodded in understanding, then asked curiously, "Compared to that, I'm more curious about how you knew the demon insect was in the servant's stomach?"
Zhou Zhilu's face froze. He couldn't help but attack at that time. Now he didn't know how to explain it.
Seeing this, Tu Qing's eyes flashed with a strange look. "Although your reasoning is brilliant, it is somewhat arbitrary to conclude that the servant is infected with demonic insects based solely on those inferences. In my opinion, perhaps you first knew that the servant was infected with demonic insects, and then inferred his behavior. Could it be that you... can see demonic energy?"
Zhou Zhilu's heart sank. He didn't know if this kind of ability was common in this world. If he was asked where this ability came from, how would he answer?
Unexpectedly, Tu Qing suddenly laughed and said, "Hahaha, don't be nervous, my friend. Although this ability is rare, it is not uncommon. In my Fuye Division, there are many people who are sensitive to demonic energy. Since you don't want to talk about it, I won't ask any more questions."
Zhou Zhilu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this.
At this time, Liu Yong couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Sir, what should we do next with this case?"
Tu Qing thought for a moment and said, "The Illusionary Silkworm has another characteristic, that is, where there are silkworms, there must be moths. The purpose of the Illusionary Silkworm's parasitism is actually to provide nutrition for the mother moth. Right now, we need to confirm whether all the corpses in the Chen Mansion are parasitic by the Illusionary Silkworm."
Liu Yong hurriedly said, "The bodies in the Chen Mansion have been moved to the morgue. Please follow me."
After that, everyone walked out under the leadership of Liu Yong.
Before leaving, Zhou Zhilu paused and said with a soft smile towards the back, "Master Fang, I will take my leave first. The ground is cold, please don't hurt yourself. I am still looking forward to seeing you take off your official uniform."
After saying that, Zhou Zhilu strode away, leaving County Magistrate Fang sitting in the back in a daze.
