The officers and soldiers who arrived took the man's body away and handed it over to the government office for examination by the coroner.

Eleven saw that Xiao Ruyu was unhappy, so he held her hand with a little more force.

She didn't say a word along the way.

When Xiao Ruyu was feeling depressed, Eleven's voice, with a hint of apology, sounded in his ears.

"Sorry Princess, it's Eleven that's late."

Looking at his cautious look, Xiao Ruyu was confused.

[I don't blame Eleven, please don't think too much. ]

She leaned forward, kissed him on the face, and then snuggled into his arms.

[I was just a little depressed. Before I could properly interrogate this man, he committed suicide by taking poison.]

Eleven turned his face away, his ears slightly red.

Xiao Ruyu sighed in her heart.

[This time, the clue is broken again...]

She had a worried look on her face, and was thinking about how to investigate next when a figure flashed through her mind.

There is one more clue!

Xiao Ruyu suddenly thought of the little black dog. Since it had seen that man talking to the person behind the scenes before, it must know more!

She jumped out of his arms and took Eleven's hand, her tone urgent.

[Eleven, come with me to find the little black dog. ]

Although Eleven didn't know what she was going to do, he still took her there.

In the town magistrate’s mansion.

Xiao Ruyu circled the dog hole several times but couldn't find the little black dog.

Her heart skipped a beat.

[Is the little black dog safe? I must have rescued it that day.]

Just when I was wondering, I heard barking outside the dog hole.

Eleven didn't pay any attention and watched Xiao Ruyu slip into the dog hole.

"Little princess! Slow down!"

He followed reluctantly.

Coming out of the dog hole, Xiao Ruyu saw the little black dog fighting with another little white dog.

Two dogs were gnawing at a bone on the ground, baring their teeth at each other.

The little black dog had just been injured and was obviously at a disadvantage.

Seeing this, she hurried forward and chased the other dog away.

The little black dog held the bone under its body, stuck out its tongue and licked the wound it had just been bitten by.

Xiao Ruyu squatted down and stared at it intently.

She stretched out her wrist and felt a trace of spiritual power restored, and then she put it on the little black dog's head.

"Why is it you, woman, again?"

The little black dog exhaled a few times through its nose and still turned its head away proudly.

"Little black dog, why don't you know how to repay a favor?"

Xiao Ruyu reached out and touched its head, trying to reason with it.

"I saved your life."

Although the little black dog was arrogant, it did not hide away. It also knew that Xiao Ruyu was its savior.

It pushed the bone forward with its nose and lay on the ground in despair.

"In that case, this bone is for you, woman."

Xiao Ruyu laughed out loud, hugged it tightly and held it in her arms.

"You little dog, I'm a human, not a dog."

"Little princess, be careful it might hurt you."

Eleven stared at her nervously.

"No." Xiao Ruyu put it on the ground and asked seriously.

"I came here today to ask you to do me a favor."

"I don't want this bone. I'll give it back to you."

The little black dog looked at her doubtfully for two seconds, then took the bone.

"Tell me, who do you want me to bite?"

Seeing Xiao Ruyu talking to himself, the villagers passing by cast sympathetic glances at him.

The villagers' whispers fell into Eleven's ears.

"This little kid is so crazy even at such a young age."

"He actually talked to a dog. He's so stupid at such a young age."

Eleven trusted Xiao Ruyu very much, but these words inevitably made him feel a little embarrassed.

He touched his nose somewhat awkwardly and turned his body to try to block the man and the dog.

"I'm not asking you to bite anyone, but I want to ask you about that bad guy."

Xiao Ruyu stared at the little black dog seriously.

When that person was mentioned, the little black dog arched his body and breathed heavily through his nose.

"That bad guy! He almost killed me!"

Seeing that it suddenly became irritable, Xiao Ruyu hurriedly comforted it.

"Don't worry, we have dealt with that person."

"really?"

Seeing Xiao Ruyu's determined eyes, the little black dog lay down and rubbed her hand.

"Just ask."

"Do you still remember what the person who conspired with him looked like that day?"

The little black dog thought about it carefully, "It's a person, not tall or fat, wearing a long gown."

"Is there anything iconic?" Xiao Ruyu asked quickly.

"I remember there seemed to be a strange pattern on his neck."

The little black dog racked his brains but couldn't tell what the thing looked like.

Xiao Ruyu suddenly remembered the pattern he saw that day, and everything became clear to him.

She stood up and took Eleven's hand.

[Eleven, let's go find the master, I already know the clue! ]

Eleven nodded and prepared to leave.

The two had just taken a few steps when Xiao Ruyu remembered something and pulled the little black dog's paw.

"Little black dog, you come with me!"

"Woof woof woof! Woof woof..."

The little black dog was dragged away with no hope in life, watching the bone that was about to reach his mouth fly away.

…

Doctor Yang was dealing with the remaining matters. As soon as he raised his head, he saw Xiao Ruyu walking towards him.

Looking more closely, I saw that she was holding a dog in her hand.

"Little Princess, what's going on with this dog?"

He hurried forward, fearing that the dog might hurt Xiao Ruyu, and took it over.

Xiao Ruyu could hardly suppress her inner excitement and told Doctor Yang everything the little black dog had said.

[Master, I already have a clue! ]

[The pattern on the neck of the person who started the commotion and the person behind him is the symbol of a cult! ]

Doctor Yang's pupils dilated as he repeatedly confirmed, "Is it really so?"

[I can see it clearly, there is no mistake! ]

Xiao Ruyu answered firmly.

This was undoubtedly an important clue, and the current investigation suddenly had some clues.

Doctor Yang paced back and forth excitedly, slapping his palms with the back of his hands.

"As expected of my little princess, my beloved disciple, you have been of great help now."

He picked up Xiao Ruyu and kissed her on the face.

"Master will send someone to investigate now."

Xiao Ruyu wiped the saliva from her face and pretended to be disgusted.

【Okay, Master, please go now.】

She got down from his arms and her eyes fell on the little black dog beside her.

It was lying on the ground with its head down, looking somewhat dejected.

[Eleven, look at it, what happened? ]

Xiao Ruyu did not use any spiritual power and did not know what happened to the little black dog.

Eleven observed it for a while and remembered the bones just now.

"Maybe I'm just hungry."

[Yes! I will reward the little black dog well.]

Xiao Ruyu suddenly realized, but then changed his mind.

[But I don’t have any meat to feed it right now.]

[Eleven, I want to eat the food from the imperial kitchen. ]

[Since I came out, I haven’t even had a bite of meat, let alone dessert. ]

She touched her shriveled belly, thought of the fine clothes and delicious food in the palace, and leaned in Eleven's arms with grievance.
