Behind the blood-stained heart were two pieces of paper with scrawled patterns on them, somewhat similar to Taoist charms.
"I found a scar on the right armpit of the corpse. Judging from the healing situation, it should not have lasted more than ten days. The scar was cut right at the position of the heart."
"This is how we judged that there must be something wrong with the deceased's heart."
Qin Gang stepped forward, pulled off the two blood-stained papers, and observed them carefully for a moment, his expression gradually became solemn, "Taoist Yin Technique!"
Li Huaiyun asked curiously, "Which practice sect is this? I've never heard of it."
"A branch of Taoist practice!"
"Branch?"
"Yes, the orthodox Taoist sect emphasizes the unity of the three laws of heaven, earth, and man, but this branch does not pay attention to this. They use the dead and the land as the boundary, and specialize in taboo techniques about the dead, such as controlling dead bodies. "
Qin Gang looked solemn and crumpled the paper in his hand. The Yin magician colluded with the monster to cause trouble in Kyoto?
No! He immediately overturned this speculation. Since it was collusion, it must not be simply evil, and there must be other motives.
It seems that in order to remind the emperor to strengthen the defense of Kyoto, the Monster Slayer Department will also send more manpower to catch the monsters hidden in Kyoto.
He cast an appreciative look at Li Huaiyun and was glad that he kept this person, otherwise the consequences would have been serious if he had not discovered the clues in time.
"Not bad, you did a good job!"
"Where! Where!" Li Huaiyun said modestly.
Sikyong's compliment completely reassured him. Obtaining Sikyong's approval meant that he had proved his innocence. All that was left was to continue investigating.
He threw the heart in his hand to the corpse, held the dagger, and bowed to Qin Gang. He was a little excited. At least he didn't have to go back to the dark and damp prison, and the food was worse than pig food.
"I still have to thank Sikyong for giving me this opportunity, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to stand here and wash away my grievances!"
“Sikyong will last forever!”
Yuan Xiu clicked his tongue and shook his head, "Your flattery is a bit excessive!"
Li Huaiyun immediately bowed to Yuan Xiu with both hands, "Of course, I would also like to thank Master Yuan for his dagger. Without this sword, things would not have been so smooth."
Immediately, he held the dagger in both hands and placed it in front of Yuan Xiu.
"Master, this dagger is full of blood. My subordinates don't know what to do with it. The master is disgusted with it. As long as you give orders, I will find a way to clean it up and return it."
This sincere attitude is helpful to everyone! A smile flashed across Yuan Xiu's face. He was quite satisfied with the abilities displayed by this low-level monster hunter.
There will definitely be competition for such a person. No matter what, I will let him stay in Jiange.
"No need! I will clean it up myself. You have made up for it this time and found important clues. It is also a credit. I hope you won't be so impulsive next time!"
"Yes! My subordinates must keep this in mind."
Li Huaiyun was a little unhappy, it was a great achievement! Helmsman, do you really not want to consider giving some rewards?
Qin Gang raised his head slightly, rolled his eyes, and a sly smile appeared on his face, "Okay then! You go back to prison, and then wait for the people from Dali Temple to retry the case in person."
.
.
.
What? Li Huaiyun's eyes widened, and Sikyong's words immediately silenced him.
I worked so hard to prove my innocence, yet I still have to go back to jail? Although this is in line with the progress of the case, he still has to go back to jail despite having merit!
He cursed loudly in his mind, Bah! Feudal society was in a state of decay.
Li Huaiyun really didn't want to go back to that place. Just when he was about to plead, Hongyun stood in front of him first.
"Lord Sikyong, I have something to say."
Qin Gang had no expression on his face and refused directly, "No!"
Hongyun also ignored Sikyong's words at all, "Then I have to say that he was unjustly imprisoned. He went to the pile of dead people in person, risked taboos, cut open the bodies, and helped you find clues."
She pointed at Qin Gang angrily, "You, a dignified Sikyong, send him back to prison. This is not killing the donkey!"
"Auntie! I'm not a donkey!"
"Shut up!" Hong Yun glared at Li Huaiyun with a sullen face, "Since the Demon Slayer Division is so merciless, there is nothing to say. When the case is completed, you can bid farewell to the Demon Slayer Division!"
"No! I..." This scene is very similar to that of many parents who completely ignore their children's thoughts and make decisions for them alone.
"The Demon Slayer Division is ruthless and ruthless, what else do you have to miss!"
"Oops! Auntie, please calm down!" Li Huaiyun patted Hong Yun's back gently and said in a low voice, "I'm only going to be in jail for a few days anyway, so it won't be a problem!"
"Besides...the salary is about to be paid out. What if I leave now and they deduct the salary at will?"
Hongyun turned her head and said, "How dare they? Besides, who cares about your salary? Are you still afraid that I will starve you to death!"
Yuan Xiu saw that the relationship between the two parties was tense. In addition, he was also a little confused about Sikyong's actions. According to this situation, Li Huaiyun could leave the prison as long as the Demon Slayer Si opened his mouth.
He didn't want to lose this demon hunter, so he said to Qin Gang, "It's really inappropriate for Sikyong to do this!"
Qin Gang glanced at Yuan Xiu and didn't say much, just smiled lightly.
This smile made everyone else wonder what Sikyong was thinking.
Li Huaiyun expressed his understanding. After all, the case was handled by people from Dali Temple. Although the Demon Slayer Division had solid evidence, it was beyond their authority to release the person privately without the government agency handling it.
He also understood that his aunt's temper was selfish. In the past, this woman had strongly opposed him entering the Demon Slayer Division.
In addition to financial problems, there must be other reasons, but he doesn't know it.
Qin Gang raised his hand and pressed Hong Yun's arm down, "Mrs. Li, I understand what you said. However, any case has a trial process, and the Demon Slayer Department cannot interfere at will, otherwise it will cause trouble for Chao Gang. "
"It's true that he has merit, but I can't be selfish!" He gently stroked the gray beard on his chin, "However, I have a way to prevent him from spending time in jail."
"Really?" Hongyun regained her calm look, "What can I do?"
"Restore his identity as a monster hunter and go investigate another urgent case. I believe the people in Dali Temple will readily agree."
Qin Gang knew that the case in the water prison had already troubled the gang. Although it seemed like a monster was causing trouble, they couldn't find anything and they were eager to hand the case over to the Demon Slayer Division.
Li Huaiyun suddenly realized and glanced at Sikyong, right? This old fox, what kind of solution is this? It's just sending me to do other jobs. To be honest, none of the donkeys in this production team work with such intensity.
Hongyun frowned, thinking that the other party had already said that, and it would be unreasonable to make trouble like before. She glanced at Li Huaiyun and said, "What do you think?"
"Uh! I think it's okay. The stinking prison is really no place for people."
Qin Gang then showed a satisfied smile, "Then let me remind you again, before the case is handled, you can't do anything to anyone during this period, otherwise, I will personally send you back to prison."
"I obey my orders!" Li Huaiyun cupped his fists and saluted.
"Then let's do this. You will go back to the Demon Slayer Division tomorrow to investigate another case. Someone will come looking for you then."
Qin Gang turned to look at Yuan Xiu, "Then you, the helmsman, will be responsible for the follow-up here!"
"Okay!" Yuan Xiu clenched the scabbard and responded softly.
Hongyun pulled Li Huaiyun out and said anxiously, "Okay! Let's leave the government office quickly and go back to repair it."
"Slow down! Auntie!" Li Huaiyun was dragged by those white hands and staggered, complaining in a low voice, "If you are in such a hurry, people will think you are going to the bridal chamber."
Snap! Hongyun's fist hit his head, "You're looking for death! You little bastard, you took advantage of me again!"
The two of them pulled each other to the gate of the county government office, only to see someone blocking the door.
Magistrate Gao stood there angrily and arrogantly, with five or six guards behind him, "This is the woman, arrest her and put her in prison!"
The group of guards behind him immediately pulled out the sharp swords with cold light from their waists and surrounded him.
Li Huaiyun stood in front of Hong Yun and stretched out his hand to indicate, "Why are you arresting my aunt? What crime did she commit?"
Magistrate Gao walked out from the guards, glared at them, pointed at his already bruised face, "Beat the imperial official! And do it hard!"
"Ah!" Li Huai turned his head and looked at Hong Yun with a confused expression, "Auntie, did you hit me?"
"Yes!" Hong Yun admitted generously, "Who made him look so lustful and move his hands and feet!"
When County Magistrate Gao heard that he was exposed, he immediately shouted emotionally, "Bitch, you still dare to slander me in public! It was obviously you who asked me to do something, but I refused, so he became angry and beat me. .”
Li Huaiyun finally knew what was going on. This was indeed something his aunt would do. He couldn't bear it when the other party scolded her like this.
He gritted his teeth and slapped Magistrate Gao to the ground.
"Who are you calling a bitch?"
"Oops!" Hong Yun patted his head gently. She wasn't angry at Li Huaiyun's attack this time. "There was no one around when I beat him. There are so many guards here, but you still do it!"
"Who told him to scold you, aunt!"
"What a fool!" Hong Yun had a proud look on her face.
Magistrate Gao covered his face, fell to the ground and groaned in pain, "Why are you still standing there! Catch them quickly."
Li Huaiyun protected Hong Yun in front of him, constantly retreating, dodging and swinging his own blade. He promised Sikyong not to make a move.
Faced with the siege of five or six people, and unable to fight back, it was natural that the clothes on his body were scratched in many places.
The moment the shining blade struck Li Huaiyun's shoulder, a sword energy passed by at high speed and shattered the blade.
Yuan Xiu stepped forward and said expressionlessly, "Who did it?"
Magistrate Gao, who got up from the ground, came over and pointed at Li Huaiyun, "He and that bitch beat up the imperial official!"
When Li Huaiyun heard this, he wanted to go up and take action again, but was pulled back by Hong Yun behind him, "You bastard, please calm down."
At this time, Qin Gang appeared quietly behind Magistrate Gao, "I say Magistrate Gao, you have such great authority! Even when I went to the water prison, you didn't come to greet me."
When County Magistrate Gao heard the familiar voice behind him, he immediately turned around and bowed to salute, "Qin Si Zheng misunderstood. I need to write a memorial. I really have something to do and I can't leave!"
The Demon Slayer Division is the security department of the imperial court and is in charge of the security of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty. Therefore, in the officialdom, no one dares to offend, let alone this little county magistrate.
"Memorial?" Qin Gang sneered and pointed to the government office, "Come on, take me to see the memorial you wrote."
He said in a threatening tone, "If you can't take it out, don't blame me..."
