Luozhou government office.
Yu Jinshu came back from outside. Her eyes were fixed and she didn't seem to be paying attention to other people in the yamen.
But her peripheral vision was scanning the surroundings for anything suspicious.
"I have made some discoveries. Go and call a few elders over."
Those old fox men were appointed as elders by her.
She spoke loudly, deliberately letting Yu Chi hear.
Yu Chi did hear it. She was on the other side of the big tree in the yamen garden, sweeping with a broom in her hand.
The big tree just blocked Yu Jinshu's sight, and he couldn't see her.
Yu Jinshu made a discovery, but he didn’t know what it was?
Yu Chi felt a little nervous when he heard this, so he threw away the broom in his hand and went to the side door of the yamen lobby to eavesdrop.
In the hall, Yu Jinshu waited for the elders to come over before speaking.
"Two people died within two days of each other, both dead and alive. I have now determined the facts of the case and confirmed that the murderer is Xiaojiu."
"Ah! It's Xiaojiu? How could it be Xiaojiu?"
Several yamen runners were discussing this.
Elder Qian Fan asked, "Chief, how do you know for sure it's Xiao Jiu?"
Yu Jinshu sighed deeply: "Actually, I hope my judgment is wrong. After all, Xiaojiu has been with me these days, and I feel he is quite good. But..."
She paused, "But all signs indicate that Xiaojiu is most likely the murderer. First, Xiaojiu suddenly disappeared yesterday. When I came to this lobby yesterday to handle the first mummy case, he didn't come with me as usual. After I finished my business, I couldn't find him again. In other words, he's missing."
Qian Fan said, "What the leader meant was that Xiao Jiu was worried that you would discover that he was the murderer, so he ran away."
Yu Jinshu nodded: "Yes. Xiaojiu must have been worried that I would find out that he was the murderer, so he ran away and killed another person last night."
Qian Fan: "The leader just said there are other signs."
Yu Jinshu: "Secondly, Xiaojiu's origins are unknown. He previously said he was from Luozhou, but later I investigated and found out that he is not from Luozhou."
Qian Fan stroked his beard and said, "Before the leader came to the Fox Tribe, we had never seen Xiao Jiu in Luozhou."
Another elder asked, "But Xiaojiu's cultivation isn't very high?"
Yu Jinshu shook his head: "I think he has concealed his cultivation."
Qian Fan frowned. "I remember the leader was attacked by a monkey demon a while ago, and a master intervened. Could this person be Xiao Jiu?"
Yu Jinshu: "That's possible."
Qian Fan: "What is Xiaojiu's origin? And why did he kill two people in the past two days?"
Yu Jinshu: "I don't know yet. I'm sure he'll come out and kill again tonight."
Yu Chi heard this at the side door and thought that this Jinshu leader was too stupid to actually suspect the scarred man named Xiaojiu.
But it’s good too, now no one will suspect it was her.
Next, she would use Xiaojiu's name to hunt for more essence and demon pills to eat.
In this way, she can quickly recover her cultivation.
As soon as she recovers her cultivation, she will definitely skin Yu Jinshu alive.
Speaking of which, if she could eat Yu Jinshu's demon pill, her cultivation level would double!
By then, even if the Demon King came, she would have nothing to fear.
That day, the whole city was searching for Xiaojiu.
There are portraits of Xiaojiu posted everywhere.
In the Demon King's Palace, Jiuyu was shocked when he heard the news from the guards.
"Jinshu said I was the murderer of the Luozhou corpse?"
The guard was furious: "The king treated Jinshu leader so well, yet Jinshu leader actually thought the king was the murderer."
Jiu Yu frowned and thought for a moment: "Regardless of how she views me, the current situation in Luozhou is very bad. I have to go there."
Guard: "But the Queen Mother?"
Jiuyu: "I will go quickly and come back soon."
Although his mother's health is important, he is more worried about Jinshu.
He suspected that the two mummification cases were committed by Yu Chi.
If it is Yu Chi, Jin Shu will be in danger.
He couldn't ignore this matter.
That night, Yu Jinshu ordered the people of Luozhou not to go out.
She led hundreds of people to patrol Luozhou City separately.
But in the middle of the night, nothing unusual happened.
When Yu Jinshu arranged personnel for inspection previously, he arranged them in groups of three.
She was in a group with two elders, and at the end, they were grouped into a group of three with the lowest cultivation levels.
By the river, the three people with the lowest cultivation level were quite frightened when they walked here.
"This seems to be the place where we found the mummy today. Let's go quickly!"
"Yes! The leader's distribution today is too inappropriate. The three of us are not very skilled. If we were to encounter Xiao Jiu, I'm afraid even the three of us together wouldn't be able to resist him."
"Isn't it? I heard that the monkey demon is even more powerful than the leader. The leader almost died at the hands of the monkey demon, and it was Xiaojiu who saved him."
"Xiao Jiu was able to save the leader, so he's not a bad person. But why did he kill people?"
"You are stupid! Xiaojiu saved the leader not because he is kind, but because he loves the leader."
"Hey, wait a minute, I need to pee urgently."
The thinnest yamen runner walked towards the river.
Among the three people traveling together, one was a woman, so the yamen runner had to be more cautious with her.
The woman said, "He's really brave to go to the river."
Another man said, "It can't be such a coincidence!"
By the river.
After the thin yamen runner lifted up his robe to relieve himself, he turned around and was about to go up to meet the other two people, but unexpectedly, when he turned around, he saw a black shadow flash by.
He was startled: "Who?"
