Chapter 258 I didn’t expect that guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes would do such a thing
Yan Qing has gotten used to it. In the few days since he came here, there have been no major events in the city, but there have been a lot of trivial matters. Either the east owner picked the peaches that the west owner had outside the wall, or your wall was moved one foot further during reconstruction. More serious cases are just business disputes and no one is convinced when dividing the family property.
So when he went to court today and was held on the thigh and called the Lord of Heaven, he looked calm and composed. How could it be a big deal?
But today is indeed a big event.
Yan Qing listened to the story and asked, "You mean, your son is missing? You suspect he was murdered by your daughter-in-law and her adulterer?"
The old man nodded vigorously, "Really! He was still here yesterday and didn't come home all night!"
Yan Qing asked again, "Who is the adulterer?"
The old man replied, "It's Captain Mo from the City Lord's Mansion!"
Yan Qing: Ah?
The best thing he could say is not the Mo in Mo Lin.
The old man answered decisively, "Yes! It's Captain Mo Lin!"
Yan Qing: ...He can no longer hold this position.
It is better to believe that a peacock can sing than to believe that the real Mo Lin will become someone's adulterer!
He took a deep breath. He was a great judge and he had been waiting for a big case for a long time. No matter whether his senior brother was an adulterer or not, he had to complete the case well. Maybe the illusion would be broken.
"Then, let's go to the City Lord's Mansion and invite Captain Mo Lin over." Yan Qing coughed lightly. He was the person in charge of law and punishment in this city, and it was said that his salary was very generous.
Mo Lin did come, and Yan Qing also figured out the cause and effect of the matter during this period.
The story begins when Mo Lin came back from killing evil spirits outside the city. For some reason, Captain Mo came to ask some questions. He was received by the old man's daughter-in-law and was seen by the old man.
Mo Lin came once in the morning and appeared once outside the yard in the evening, standing under the wall. The old man's son did not return all night, and the old man was very worried, because everyone in the city works from sunrise to sunset and rests from sunset, with no nightlife. This is very abnormal!
"I never thought that the guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes would do such a thing!" The old man cried out.
"Which guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes?" A man wearing the red and gold uniform of the City Lord's Mansion guard appeared in front of the court. He had a long sword on his waist and walked into the hall with his long legs spread out.
Crowd: …
Look at yourself, don’t you have thick eyebrows and big eyes?
Yan Qing looked at Mo Lin's face and felt a headache for a moment. What made him even more confused was that the senior brother's acting skills had improved. He had learned a lot from the junior uncle, and the way he looked at him was just like the look of an ordinary colleague in the yamen who was familiar but not familiar.
Is it because she doesn't want to burden him? Or is it because she has lost her memory?
Yan Qing's mind was working frantically. To be honest, he didn't like this illusion. If he really became such a powerful boss, he might as well go back to the Supreme Sect to forge iron. At least he would never think that the people in the sect were unreasonable, or that things were complicated and boring.
Even doing the simplest farm work in the Supreme Sect is interesting, because the elders never mind if they invent any new magical instruments, and they don't care about uneven distribution among each other.
But he didn't find a way to break the spell, and his spiritual power was restrained. It can be said that he had no advantages except his muscles and brains.
"So, Captain Mo, what do you think? Why did you go to Mr. Chen's house on the day of the incident?"
Mo Lin said calmly, "Because there is a smell of evil in their house."
Before anyone could react, Uncle Chen jumped up and shouted, "How is this possible! Don't use your status to slander others! There has never been any evil in this city! We are a decent family."
The people watching the excitement outside the courtroom vaguely remembered something, "I remember now! The Chen family kid seemed to have been punished by God the day before yesterday, right? Didn't the people in the God's Pavilion say that evil people have resentment in their hearts, so evil demons will breed!"
Mo Lin thought thoughtfully, "Could it be that your son was punished by God, had evil thoughts in his heart, and turned into an evil demon?"
Uncle Chen's voice suddenly became stiff and hoarse as if his throat was strangled. "How is this possible! My son can't be a demon!"
Mo Lin stared at Chen Bo, and Yan Qing stared at Mo Lin.
At first, he didn’t think there was anything different about this senior brother until he said those words to Uncle Chen.
This was a rare thing for Mo Lin. Although he practiced the Divine Heaven Dao and was born to eliminate evil, he would not easily define people as evil demons.
This word is too heavy for both humans and monsters.
Yan Qing was wondering if the world had a different definition of evil?
Mo Lin smiled and looked at Yan Qing. "Also, I have no motive to kill anyone. Everyone in the city knows that I love Doctor Xia. Last night, I was in Doctor Xia's clinic in the south of the city, and I was treated. Doctor Xia can testify to this."
Yan Qing's eyes widened, and he forced himself to calm down, "Ah? Oh! Then please ask Doctor Xia to come over."
Someone shouted, "Last night, Doctor Xia treated a woman at night, and she was blessed by God! But she fell and hit her head, and she is resting now."
Yan Qing nodded, "Captain Mo, did you find the evil spirit in Uncle Chen's house?"
Mo Lin looked at Uncle Chen and the woman who was tied up and brought over. "I couldn't go in to search, so I wanted to go in and see if there was anything unusual after Doctor Xia finished bandaging it."
"After all, evil spirits prefer to forage for food at night." He added seriously, fearing that Yan Qing, a clerk, would not understand.
"People from the City Lord's Mansion cannot enter private homes without approval."
Yan Qing felt that the Doctor Xia that Mo Lin mentioned was probably the second senior sister.
So he made a decision, "Well, I'll approve an official document, and we'll go to Uncle Chen's house to search first, and then if there's no problem, we'll go to the clinic to see Doctor Xia to confirm it."
This Second Senior Sister had better act normal, otherwise he will suspect that this Second Senior Sister and Mo Lin are fake.
He now needs someone who is more normal to calm his inner shock. If it is the real Second Senior Sister, after hearing these words, she would probably think seriously about whether there is something new wrong with Mo Lin's brain, and take it apart and study it in a friendly manner.
Yan Qing was not wrong in her guess. Xia Tianwu really wanted to take Mo Lin apart yesterday to study whether his brain was broken or not, or at least use spiritual energy to get into his body and check his pulse. Unfortunately, her consciousness and spiritual power were sealed.
Xia Tian was unable to wake up from her coma and was thinking about the different aspects of this secret realm, such as... her senior brother had lost his memory, but his swordsmanship and ability to kill evil spirits were still there, and he was the captain of the guard team. She didn't see anyone else, and didn't know where her junior uncle was now?
She was very worried about Lin Du. Being able to move a large formation and run all the way would consume a huge amount of his spiritual power.
Although Junior Master Uncle Baifa's pulse had not been normal since she came out of retreat, the master just told her not to worry about it for the time being. However, at the dinner table, Lin Du's pulse was so weak that it was almost nonexistent.
No signs of life.
That's not a good sign.
On the other side of the south city, although Uncle Chen repeatedly obstructed them, saying this and that were not possible, and finally just threw a tantrum and said he would withdraw the lawsuit, the more he obstructed them, the more strange it seemed. Yan Qing and Mo Lin still came to the Chen family with the yamen runners.
They walked around and found nothing unusual.
Until Mo Lin used his sword to open the cellar.
A strong stench hit my face.
It was a strange-looking, greedy demon that reeked of alcohol. It was tied up like a dog in a wine cellar, with the corpse of a eaten domestic dog beside it.
Uncle Chen suddenly let out a wail, rushed forward and covered the opening of the wine cellar.
At the same time, Mo Lin drew his sword from his waist, his eyes sharp, "Evil demon, must be killed."
