Chapter 204: Clearing Suspicion, the Divine Fire Cult Takes the Blame
Cree Bingnan kept staring at Ji Chen without leaving his eyes.
"Not only is the prince dead, but his son Xu Chengwei is also dead, and the students at Luocheng Academy are also dead. These people happened to have a problem with you, so I have to suspect that you killed them. ”
"Luocheng Academy, Fang Jingyu and others...are they all dead?"
Ji Chen looked shocked, and then he laughed at himself.
"It's no wonder that Mr. Crepe doubts me. They all have issues with me. I would also doubt myself. But Mr. Crepe, I stayed at home last night. There are many people living around my courtyard who have issues with me. Practitioners of communication, just ask them.”
Cree Bingnan did not find anything suspicious in Ji Chen's expression. In fact, he had already investigated and found that the practitioners had indeed sensed Ji Chen's aura and did not leave.
So, he changed the topic again.
"I heard that you once practiced an evil skill?"
"Are you talking about the blood-devouring technique? You have practiced it and got it from the arsenal of the Demon Suppressing Department. The Demon Suppressing Department has records for checking. You also know that we, the Demon Suppressing Envoys, deal with monsters every day and need to have a strong body. This blood-devouring technique can refine the blood of demons and make up for your own physical deficiencies. Although it is a bit extreme, if you control it well, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. "
"Has it ever been used on humans?"
"Of course, the enemy is not human."
Ji Chen's answer surprised Cree Bingnan. He thought that Ji Chen would either deny it or explain it, but he actually admitted it generously.
Immediately afterwards, he asked some more detailed questions, and Ji Chen answered them one by one. He said what he should say, hesitated when he should, and hesitated when he should, without revealing any flaws.
Seeing that Ji Chen couldn't ask anything, Cree Bingnan stood up and prepared to leave.
"It's my duty. Please forgive me if I've offended you. I won't bother you anymore. I want to continue working on the case, so I'll take my leave now. I'll come back to you if I find anything."
"I send you!"
Ji Chen also got up, took the crepe handle to the outside of the courtyard door, said "walk away slowly", then closed the courtyard door and returned to the house. After a while, he went up to the ridge of the roof and continued to breathe.
Cree Bingnan, who had already walked away, turned around and glanced at the yard where Ji Chen was. After seeing Ji Chen breathing and practicing on the roof, the only trace of doubt he had about him was eliminated.
He explored the two kilometers around Ji Chen's courtyard last night and found no clues or strange smells.
He interrogated everyone within two kilometers and found that Ji Chen had a normal schedule these days. During the day, he solved the doubts of the practitioners who came to ask for advice, and at night he practiced and gained insights.
Many cultivators among them stayed outside his small courtyard in order to see Ji Chen the next day. They could all feel that Ji Chen's aura was in the room and never left.
"Sir, have you gained anything?" a chief catcher who was following Cree Bingnan asked.
"It should have nothing to do with him!" Cree Pingnan said.
The general flag said again: "The Demon Suppression Department has found some clues!"
Cree Bingnan was surprised, "Did the Demon Suppression Division have a clue? So soon?"
The chief catcher nodded, "They found clues in an inn near the government office. There was a thin middle-aged man who stayed there briefly for a few days."
"After he checked out last night, he went to Fujun Yamen. Not long after, someone saw him leaving from Fujun Yamen, and then the news spread that Fujun and others were killed."
"'The people from the Demon Suppression Department also discovered mysterious flame patterns outside the inn and in the hidden places of the middle-aged man's room."
"Fire pattern?" Crepe Bingnan was surprised, "Shenhuo Cult?"
"Not sure, the town of Yaozhen is vigorously investigating!"
The Chief Constable was not sure. After all, the information he knew was limited, and the Demon Suppression Division could not tell him everything.
Cree Bingnan's originally frowning brows relaxed slightly. If it was related to the Shenhuo Cult, then the Patrol Department could withdraw from the case and let the Demon Suppression Department deal with it.
Dealing with the Shenhuo Cult has always been the responsibility of the Demon Suppression Department, and the Patrol Department is only an auxiliary.
He really didn't want to get involved in this case. After all, the person who died was a prince. If anything went wrong, he would get into trouble.
On the roof, Ji Chen vomited for an hour and then came down.
It's not that he wants to show off, at least the pattern these days must be the same. This is in line with his feelings after the war.
But at least he can be sure that the suspicion has been cleared. All the arrangements he made a few days ago came into effect, and the direction of the investigation was transferred to the Shenhuo Cult.
It makes sense for the Divine Fire Cult to take the blame for this. After all, the Demon Suppressing Department has been infiltrated by the Divine Fire Cult, and even the Suppressing Envoy has had problems. Who can guarantee that Fu Jun has not been contaminated by the Divine Fire Cult.
On the third day, a young man came from Beijing. He first went to the Fujun Yamen to investigate and carefully inspected all the corpses.
After that, the young man went directly to Dingbei Hou Mansion.
In the next few days, Ji Chen continued as usual, giving guidance to the practitioners who came to ask for advice during the day, and practicing meditation behind closed doors at night.
Every cultivator came to ask for advice with a gift, and Ji Chen accepted all of them.
It was not until ten days later that Ji Chen announced to the outside world that he had some enlightenment and needed to retreat for a period of time. He would no longer give guidance to the practitioners who came to seek advice. After that, he closed the courtyard.
The reason for this was that he felt that the time was almost here. In addition, he received an invitation from the Dingbei Hou Mansion, and someone invited him to a banquet.
No one trespassed into his courtyard. Now this courtyard has been regarded as a holy place, an inviolable place in the hearts of many low-level monks.
At Dingbei Hou Mansion, Ji Chen came here again.
This was a simple banquet, with only four people, besides Ji Chen himself, Zhao Qingcheng, Xia Liyun, and a strange young man.
The young man was dignified, with fair skin and a valuable brocade dress. He was born in a noble family.
There were no ugly people in the noble family. Even if the first generation was ugly, as long as the next few generations married beautiful women, the bloodline would be corrected.
Therefore, as long as they were from the noble family, no matter whether they were men or women, they basically did not have ordinary looks. They stood out from the crowd and could be recognized in the crowd at a glance.
There were only a few families in the capital who were qualified to drink with Zhao Qingcheng and Xia Liyun in Dingbei Marquis Mansion.
"'This is Li Changzhi, the grandson of Prime Minister Li, and one of the generals of this army."
Zhao Qingcheng took the initiative to introduce.
Ji Chen was a little surprised. Although he had guessed that he was not ordinary, he was still shocked by his identity.
The grandson of the prime minister!
In the Great Xia Dynasty, the older generation basically became the pillars of the country, and chose to retreat to achieve enlightenment and pursue a higher realm. The middle-aged generation is powerful and influential, covering the sky with one hand, and making plans in the court. The young generation is young and frivolous, throwing their heads and blood outside, and attacking all directions.
This is the composition of an eternal dynasty. There are vigorous young people who expand the territory, slay demons and monsters, and charge into battle. There are calm and composed middle-aged people who sit in the court, make plans, and stabilize the country. There are also old people who have retired from the stage, and they are devoted to enlightenment, becoming the foundation of a great country, and people dare not easily shake their existence.
This is also the reason why the upcoming battle in the northern wilderness, except for General Xu, the commander-in-chief, who is a middle-aged man, the rest are young people.
The dynasty cultivates fresh blood and gives opportunities to young people.
