The two detectives put their sabers on the table, called the stall owner, and ordered several steamed buns and bean curds.
They yawned and looked sleepy, then sat at the table and started chatting softly.
"You said this is true! Another building was burned down overnight, and so many people died. I feel panicked just thinking about it!"
"Hey!" One of the detectives was more vigilant and looked around for a moment, "Just say a few words less! The boss said it, this is official business, so we can't say it outside."
"Ahem! What's the matter? It's not normal for people to die in fires! Besides, think about it, didn't several watchmen in the nearby city die? Without them patrolling, they couldn't be discovered in time, and the fire started in the middle of the night. Only people who are immortal can't die. Strange!"
"Damn it! It's said that the watchmen were scared to death. It's really not peaceful in Kyoto these days. I wonder if something big will happen."
The catcher was relatively soft-spoken and had an indifferent attitude, "We were asked to put out a fire in the middle of the night. It's so difficult that we can't even complain. We haven't slept all night, so I should be allowed to curse a few words, otherwise I will die of suffocation."
"If by any chance you spill the beans! I can't help you!"
"Tch! If you spill the beans, just spill the beans. I will be responsible for it myself! There is nothing to worry about!"
The other agent was more cautious and shook his head slightly, a little reluctant to answer his words.
The policeman continued to say with great interest, "How on earth did that building burn down? It's so strange. Although several other people were rescued, they died after a short time."
"As of this morning, there is still no investigation result. Whether it was a man-made arson or an accident, there is no news on these aspects!"
The detective tilted his head and lowered his voice, "I heard that I really thought someone saw something dirty in the fire scene!"
Another detective slapped the table, "Oh, I told you not to discuss this outside!"
"What are you afraid of! According to me, the fire burned that building to charcoal, so there is no need to investigate anymore. The fire burned everything that was burned. If you want to find clues in the ruins, there is no way. It’s just not possible!”
"Hmph!" Another detective glanced at him, "What you think is very simple. As long as the case is done by humans, there will definitely be clues left!"
"Who do you think will investigate this case?"
"I suggest the Demon Slayer Division."
The policeman seemed to have realized something and slammed the table. "As I thought, this case is classified as not being done by ordinary people! Then it can only be handled by the Demon Slayer Division!"
Li Huaiyun was on the table on the other side, with his back to the two agents. Due to the improvement of his martial arts realm and his greatly improved perception ability, even with his back to each other, he could clearly hear the soft voices of the two agents with low martial arts skills. Whisper.
He sighed helplessly, who is this person? Everyone wants to take credit, no one wants to do the work!
The detective frowned, "What if it was really done by ordinary people?"
The interlocutor said softly, "That's okay. After all, the case has been investigated, so it will naturally be handed over to us! I'm afraid that the Demon Slayer Division won't be able to find the murderer!"
"This is definitely not the case," the detective said with confidence. "I dare say that this case will definitely be solved."
"Why do you believe so?"
"I am the Li Huaiyun who believes in the Demon Slayer Division!"
"Li Huaiyun,"
"Yes! You must have heard about this guy's deeds, and within a few days, he investigated many cases."
Li Huaiyun heard what they said, and the hand holding the bowl shook slightly. My reputation has spread? Have they heard of me too?
"I hope the Demon Slayer Division won't let us down!"
"Don't have too much hope!" The other detective shook his body and moved slightly. A smile appeared on his face and he said softly, "I miss you because you are so beautiful! There are too few clues in this case. , even if that Li Huaiyun comes, he may not be able to find out."
"That's not necessarily the case. This case is serious and has received considerable attention. I still remember that in the past, the young minister of Dali Temple and his family were burned to death at home. According to rumors, the case was also said to continue to be investigated! By the way, we will Apply this case to the above, and then send it to the Monster Slaying Department, saying that there is a monster at work in this case!"
"Haha! You are really smart. If someone finds out...!"
"Don't worry, you can't see through it!" the detective said confidently.
Li Huaiyun finished the last basket of steamed buns and glanced at the two agents who were still talking. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to hear what these two people said. If I didn't know, I wouldn't be able to work for others.
He stood up, paid for the breakfast, and then walked past the two waiters' table. The other party just gave him a wary look.
Li Huaiyun did not respond to this, but simply walked some distance forward. He crossed the street and returned to his house.
But at this moment, he saw not far away, two guards wearing long-handled swords, standing on the left and right of the Li Mansion gate.
Their skin was dark, they had many scars on their faces, and they were tall and straight. You could tell they were Lian Jiazi at a glance, and their aura was quite domineering.
These two people are obviously the guards in the palace. Did something happen in the house? Li Huaiyun suddenly felt worried, but when he thought about it, it was unlikely. After all, he had solved the case in the palace, and this glory was still there.
Then the only possibility left is the problem of my aunt. Is this woman capable of killing people?
Li Huaiyun clapped his hands heavily, "It's over! This must be the problem! Never mind!" He walked up, and the two guards looked at Li Huaiyun.
"Who are you?"
Li Huaiyun immediately cupped his fists and saluted, "Demon Slayer Division, D-level demon catcher, Li Huaiyun."
When the two guards heard the name Lian, their eyes immediately shone with light. They both looked at each other and showed bright smiles, "Quick! Mr. Li, hurry in!"
"Ah!" Li Huaiyun was pushed in before he could react, "What's going on? Didn't my aunt kill people?"
"No! No! It's you, Mr. Li. There is a reward today. The emperor specially asked us to come here and give it to Mr. Li!"
"What a coincidence!" Li Huaiyun covered up the restlessness in his heart and said calmly, "I'm still wondering when it will arrive? I didn't expect it to be quite fast!"
He took out dozens of taels of silver from his body and put them into the hands of the two guards respectively. "Then I'll give you two a hard time! It's just a small thing, it's not respectful!"
The two guards took the silver and immediately saluted more respectfully, with particularly bright smiles on their faces!
"How embarrassing is this!"
"Take it! Take it!" Li Huaiyun walked in and saw flower petals scattered on the ground in the mansion, traces of firecrackers, and a bunch of footprints. This scene was probably very lively.
Halfway through, I happened to meet the housekeeper Fu Bo. He just came out and wanted someone to go to the Demon Slayer Division to invite Li Huaiyun back.
"Hey! Master! You are finally back!" Uncle Fu smiled and waved to him.
"I'm still thinking of asking someone to call you! Someone from the palace is here!"
"I know, Forbes,"
"Hurry in, don't keep the adults waiting, otherwise it will be disrespectful!"
Li Huaiyun snorted, "You're just kidding, it's their blessing to keep them waiting! I'm a meritorious person, so what if I keep them waiting!"
"You can't say this casually!" Uncle Fu was a little worried about this, fearing that Li Huaiyun's attitude would be known to the people inside.
"It's okay! Uncle Fu, is my aunt back?"
"The master is greeting you inside!" Fu Bo gestured with his hands and his excitement was palpable. "There are many boxes of things inside, and they are all so big!"
"Then it seems that this time the reward should be substantial," Li Huaiyun said with a smile, "Look at what my aunt has to say this time, and she dares to question me. This time she is dumbfounded!"
They came to the main hall. At this time, Hongyun was sitting in the front seat, smiling at each other.
In addition to the bearer and a team of guards, there was also the eunuch who held the imperial edict.
Uncle Fu walked up and said, "The young master is back!"
Everyone looked towards the back!
Li Huaiyun straightened his back, put his hands behind his back, and walked into the main hall with a proud look on his face. He saw seven or eight wooden boxes placed on the ground. Looking at Hong Yun who was sitting there, her mouth had long been Curved into a half moon.
He stepped forward to face the eunuch, bowed, and then waved to Hong Yun behind him.
When Hong Yun saw it, she immediately stepped forward, then knelt on the ground with Li Huaiyun, and the eunuch recited the imperial edict.
The rewards this time included a thousand taels of gold and silver, dozens of pieces of satin and silk, various gold and silver jewelry, and horses.
After the eunuch finished reading, he smiled at Li Huaiyun and said, "Master Li, this old slave will return to the palace now."
Li Huaiyun immediately took some gold and presented it, and all the entourage and those who carried the things were also rewarded. These things he did were quite generous and decent.
He asked Uncle Fu to give those who came from the palace a ride.
"You are quite generous. As soon as you got so much gold and silver, you immediately gave some away." Hong Yun looked at the boxes on the ground, feeling a little reluctant to part with them.
"Auntie, what are you talking about? You have so much money, why do you still feel bad for me? You are such an iron rooster, you don't even plucking a dime!"
When Hong Yun heard this, she punched Li Huaiyun hard on the head, "You bastard, if I don't hit you for a day, your skin will be itchy, right?"
Li Huaiyun touched his head, then sat on the treasure box, crossing his legs, "I said, aunt, how dare you hit me like this now? Don't you look at what's in these boxes!"
Hongyun curled her lips, "What are you doing? Can these things prevent me from hitting you?"
"You can beat me with so many things? Auntie, don't you want silver, silk and other things?"
"If you don't give it to me, who else can you give it to? I can only reluctantly accept these from you."
"Ah!" Li Huaiyun couldn't believe his ears, "Auntie, you can definitely rob me, why are you so merciful and asking me for my opinion!"
Hongyun thought it was a compliment, and just when she was about to say something proud, she immediately realized that this guy was trying to undercut her.
"You little bastard, you're a coward, aren't you? You dare to speak against your aunt."
"You don't believe it," Li Huaiyun pointed at the wooden boxes. "Now that I see these, I know how wrong I was."
Hongyun pursed her lips, "Oh, you bastard, what exactly do you want to say? Don't beat around the bush here! It's not like your usual character at all."
"Auntie, do you want to apologize to me? If you don't, I have to accept these rewards myself."
"Ouch! You guys are really stubborn. My aunt said this before, so she told you not to be proud! If not, then you can accept it!"
Li Huaiyun put his hands on his chest and thought carefully for a long time.
ah! Can you say this now?
