Mu Yuan walked into the hall. She now put on the standard brocade clothes for monster hunters and wore a token around her waist.
However, the style and appearance of the token she wears are different from others, and it should have other functions.
"Mu Yuan!" Li Huaiyun shouted while chewing on the meat buns, "Have you had breakfast? The house has just prepared it, if you don't mind."
"Never!" Mu Yuan immediately stepped forward, sat on the chair, took the porridge unceremoniously, picked up the buns with chopsticks, and started eating.
Uncle Fu looked at this woman in surprise, feeling a little displeased in his heart. How could anyone be so rude? He just sat down to have breakfast without saying a word, and he didn't even bother to excuse himself.
This woman is so rude, the young master must not get along with her.
"You are so slow. I was still thinking of waiting for you at the Demon Slayer Department! As a result, I didn't come after waiting for a long time, so I had to come to your house to find you!"
"I can't help it. I was too tired last night and ended up oversleeping. I just wanted to fill my stomach first and then go to the Demon Slayer Division."
Mu Yuan drank the hot porridge, gnawed on the steamed buns, and then said to Uncle Fu, "Are there any fried dough sticks? Give me two."
"Master, this..."
"Go get it! Uncle Fu, this girl has a big appetite. It seems that there is not enough on the table."
Mu Yuan waved her hand, "Enough! Enough! I can't eat so much, I just want to eat fried dough sticks!"
Uncle Fu had no choice but to go to the kitchen to get some fried dough sticks.
"What do you think of what happened last night?"
"I don't have any opinion at the moment. I don't know whether the woman is telling the truth or a lie, but there is one thing I don't believe!"
"Which point!" Mu Yuan asked.
"The woman said she didn't hear anything. That's not right. Think about it, so many people heard it, why didn't she hear it alone?"
"Maybe she wasn't at home at the time?"
"It's impossible not to be at home late at night. Even if you go to serve the gods, you will still hear that sound!"
Li Huaiyun shook his head, not understanding what he was thinking. He reached out to grab the last bun, but Mu Yuan took it early. He immediately put down the bowl and chopsticks and said solemnly, "If this is really the case, there is only one possibility left. Got it!"
"What?"
"That scream was her own! Doesn't that explain why she didn't hear it?"
Mu Yuan took a bite of the bun and glanced at Li Huaiyun with an admiring look, "That's right! If you screamed out, you can really say that you didn't hear it!"
She continued, "This woman's screams mean that someone is abusing her!"
Thinking about the previous events, she slammed the table, "It's so abominable! If I find that person, I will cut him into a stick."
So cruel!
At this time, Hong Yun and Fu Bo walked into the hall together. Fu Bo put a bundle of fried dough sticks on the table and stood aside.
Hong Yun looked at the woman. She had pretty features, a slightly plump figure, and a perky buttocks. She looked like she was good at giving birth.
However, Hong Yun was slightly unhappy that she was sitting in the main seat.
"Who is this?"
Li Huaiyun immediately introduced to Hong Yun, "Demon Slayer Division, the helmsman of Qianji Pavilion, now investigate the case with me."
"This is my aunt!" He introduced to Mu Yuan, "A doctor who runs a medical clinic by himself."
"Mrs. Li!" Mu Yuan ate something in her mouth, waved her hand, and then started eating breakfast.
Ouch! Helmsman! Hong Yun was slightly puzzled. How could this helmsman, whose identity was second only to Sikyong, arrange to investigate the case with Li Huaiyun? This was too strange.
However, the two of them are similar in age, so they seem to be a good match.
It's just that this woman doesn't know much about etiquette and doesn't know that she is sitting in the chief seat.
"Girl, please sit aside. I take your seat."
"What does it matter? It's not like there's no place here."
Hong Yun was so angry that she didn't know what to say. She looked at Li Huaiyun and moved her chin towards him.
Li Huaiyun understood what his aunt meant, and said to Mu Yuan, "Master, sit here with me!"
"I'm almost done eating, please wait a moment."
After Mu Yuan finished eating, she sat aside with a satisfied look on her face, leaving Hong Yun feeling sulky.
This woman who doesn’t know etiquette! Sooner or later someone will teach you a lesson!
Hongyun sat at the table and started eating breakfast. He glanced at Li Huaiyun and said, "You've eaten so much and you're still eating! Eat less!"
"Why!"
"If you eat like this, your family will be poor sooner or later."
Li Huaiyun smiled and said, "It's okay. The money I saved will last me ten or eight years, so it won't be a problem."
"You still visit the Jiaofang Department and play until dawn every time! Is your salary enough?"
"Uh! Auntie, don't talk nonsense, why would I go to a place like that?"
Mu Yuan glanced at him, "I didn't expect you to be quite good at playing!"
"Master, I misunderstood, I am not that kind of person!" Li Huaiyun strongly denied that he was not that kind of person.
After all, this woman is a relative of the emperor, and he doesn't want to leave a bad impression. If anything happens in the future, he can ask her for help.
Mu Yuan held her head with her hands and said with a smile, "It has nothing to do with me!"
Li Huaiyun glanced at Hongyun, what is aunt doing? How could he speak ill of the head of the family in front of other women?
After the two of them finished eating, they said hello to Hongyun and prepared to leave the house and go directly to the crime scene.
Hongyun warned them several times again, telling them not to show off and call for help when encountering dangerous situations. After all, they were just low-level monster hunters.
They rushed to the street where the crime scene was located, and met the monster hunters who were at the scene yesterday. What was even more surprising was that just last night, several more people were brutally murdered, just like the previous ones.
Li Huaiyun remembered that last night, when he and Mu Yuan left, he also heard the scream. The same method was used twice, but some people still couldn't restrain their curiosity.
He sighed and stepped forward to check the corpses. The condition of the corpses was similar to those of the day before yesterday. "Twelve or three people have been brutally murdered now. If we don't find out, I'm afraid more people will die."
"With this, it can be determined that it is a monster, right?"
"Yes! And it's a banshee who needs a lot of yang energy! Maybe even a ghost or something."
Mu Yuan pursed her lips and looked at the corpses on the ground, feeling a little scared. She never thought that this person who had just come to investigate would be such a terrible case.
Li Huaiyun glanced at Mu Yuan beside him and noticed that her expression was panicked and her whole body was jumping tight. He guessed that this woman must be a little timid.
He clicked his tongue, shook his head, and asked, "Sorry, this case is quite difficult! Don't be afraid when the time comes!"
When Mu Yuan heard this, he straightened up, and the two peaks shook slightly, "What did you say? Who is afraid, but I have never seen this scene before!"
"To be honest, I haven't seen it either! So many people died in two nights. If it were a place closer to the imperial city, those guards and patrols would probably lose their heads."
"Hunjun is like this. Whatever happens, he will find someone to take responsibility. He doesn't care about the truth of the matter. The next step is to go to the temple here?"
"Yeah! By the way, I also asked them if they heard this scream."
Since the alleys crisscrossed the area, Li Huaiyun could only find people living nearby and take them to the temple built in the residential area.
After going around several times, they arrived at a relatively large alley. This alley was basically the same size as an ordinary street. Many people would set up stalls of various things on the streets on both sides. In this alley, the inconspicuous In the corner, a temple happened to be built.
From the outside, this temple is obviously larger than an ordinary residential house. At the same time, the wooden structure inside is also relatively fine. There is a courtyard in the temple with a large stove. There are fireworks all day long. The air bubbles upward.
Li Huaiyun knocked hard on the door, but there was no response inside. He was curious about why there was no one in this temple.
Then I came to a shop next to the street and asked about the temple.
This temple was built by a foreign Taoist disciple who raised money from people living in this area. Most of them believe in this god, so the temple is relatively popular.
Taoist disciples are also very close to the famous families in this area, so this temple is also responsible for all kinds of large and small rituals in this area.
Normally, the temple would be closed after the scheduled time, and no one would be inside. According to the Taoist disciple, this was to keep the temple quiet and not contaminated by worldly filth.
But Li Huaiyun knew that this place was probably a prostitution den, where the Sun family served the so-called gods.
Therefore, there must be a secret passage inside that ordinary people don't know about.
The Taoist disciple became the steward of the temple.
In normal times, devout people would come here to burn incense and worship, and the stewards would also set up stalls inside to tell fortunes and read fortunes.
Look at faces? Let’s see whose girl is pretty! Li Huaiyun thought to himself as he and Mu Yuan returned to the temple.
"How long are we still waiting?" Mu Yuan knocked hard on the door, "We can't just wait here!"
"That's not necessary! This lock can be opened easily, leave it to me."
Li Huaiyun pulled the lock on the door, then opened the door and walked inside.
"Stop!" someone shouted from behind them.
The two of them turned around and saw that it was the stall owner who had just asked, "What's the matter?"
"Hey! How could you privately remove the lock and enter this temple? This is a blasphemy against the gods." The stall owner said in panic, "You must not do this. This god is very effective. If you do this, you will suffer Damn it.”
"What does it matter! It's just a punishment from heaven, I can bear it!"
"It's ridiculous. You can bear it, but can the people in this area bear it? Because of your mistake, you have to take all of us with you?"
"Listen to this brother, have you ever seen the punishment of heaven?"
Having said this, the stall owner immediately stepped forward and whispered, "Of course, I also saw the gods appearing and walking around in the yard."
"Ah! Really?"
"I'm not lying to you!" the stall owner said seriously. He was quite impressed by this. "You did such a thing! Then you ran away. In that case, the gods will punish us."
"So! I will never allow you to sneak in,"
Li Huaiyun came to Mu Yuan and whispered, "Mu Yuan, do you have any silver on you?"
"What for? Do you want to offer incense money?"
"It works anyway!"
