Seeing Officer Wang and the other two appear at the door of the store, Jiang Hengbei was about to invite them to buy things, but the next second, when he saw Lin Xi, Jiang Hengbei's expression suddenly changed.
Lin Xi knew that he had seen through his identity as a Taoist monk.
It seems that Jiang Heng is indeed capable of something, otherwise it would be impossible for him to raise corpses, let alone get a recipe for borrowing life.
"Excuse me, are you Jiang Hengbi?"
Jiang Heng looked at Lin Xi warily, and only came to his senses after hearing Officer Wang's question, but he no longer had any intention of inviting them into the store.
"I am. What's up?"
"Well, we're from the police. We heard you've contracted a bamboo forest. We suspect it's connected to a theft case, so we're planning to do a field inspection there, and let you know."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Heng's face changed instantly. He seemed to realize something, but did not show too strong resistance.
"Oh, so the police comrades want to handle the case. As a common citizen, I should support them. You can go there. Do you know the address? Otherwise, I can write it down for you." Jiang Heng was even kind enough to guide them.
Such a frank attitude made Officer Wang and Officer Xiao Hu feel that something was wrong. Could it be that he was not the person behind the scenes?
After thinking about it, they subconsciously looked at Lin Xi, only to see Lin Xi smiling at Jiang Heng.
What is going on here?
What they didn't know was that Lin Xi felt that he had finally met a fellow disciple and wanted to exchange skills with him so that he could have a more real understanding of the ability level of the Xuanmen people of this era.
"Then, shall we go?"
Lin Xi nodded when she saw that Officer Wang was asking her.
"Well, thank you for your help." Officer Wang thanked Jiang Hengbei, and then left with Lin Xi and Officer Xiao Hu.
It seemed like they did nothing but come over and take a look at Jiang Hengbo. However, as soon as they were out of Jiang Hengbo's sight, they hurriedly asked Lin Xi.
"What's going on? Is it him?!"
In fact, they both had guesses, and they always felt that this kind of thing would only be true if Lin Xi said it.
After all, she is more professional than them in this area.
Lin Xi nodded.
"It's him."
If it wasn't him!
"He looks so old, is this also related to this incident?"
If not, would a normal person look more than 20 years older than their actual age?
Lin Xi glanced at Officer Hu with an expression that showed he was a teachable child.
"That's right."
Then Lin Xi told them about Jiang Heng's request to lend his life and the backlash of that request. Officers Wang and Xiao Hu were enlightened.
But after the shock, they still haven't solved the theft case because the criminal has not been caught yet!
So after some discussion, Officer Wang and Officer Xiao Hu decided to attack in two directions. One was to keep an eye on Jiang Heng, while the other was to wait and see in the bamboo forest.
As for Lin Xi, after asking her about her intentions, she finally went to the bamboo forest with Officer Xiao Hu.
As night fell, Officer Xiao Hu and Lin Xi had already arrived at the village in front of them early, and arrived nearby without alerting the villagers.
In fact, Officer Xiao Hu was a little worried, because he was afraid that when he went to find Jiang Hengbi in the afternoon, he would know that they were coming to the bamboo forest, and he might not let Zhu Gang come to the bamboo forest again.
In response, Lin Xi said, "He will come."
