After leaving Lu Mansion and returning home, it was already late at night, but Lin Ji didn't feel sleepy at all.
He thought of Lu Zhaoer's mother. As the princess of the imperial family, could she really have a harmonious relationship with the Lu family?
Even the princess of the royal family dared to take action. The person who planned this must have been planning for a long time, right?
Sitting under the peach tree in the yard, all I could think about was all the weird things happening in the capital today.
"Bian Po is a demon who cannot speak and acts instinctively based on the memories before he was killed...but he cannot see water. Water belongs to Yin, so his body has no vitality. It relies entirely on what was locked in the body during his lifetime. When you see water, your vitality will be consumed immediately.”
Lin Ji couldn't understand.
Some people want to shake the foundation of the country's destiny by murdering important officials of the Qin Dynasty. This matter has almost become a conclusion.
Only the method of becoming a mother-in-law is incredible.
The capital is at the foot of the emperor, at the head of the dragon's veins, a place where evil spirits cannot invade.
Moreover, there are experts from the royal family. Jian Tiansi’s headquarters is here, so no one in the city dares to do anything random.
But, as luck would have it, someone did it without anyone noticing, and it has been almost half a year since they were caught.
"If you have such an ability, why bother with such troublesome means as turning into a woman? You have to find a very shady place and deceive people out of the city, and it will take at least seven days."
"If I can do it in the city without anyone noticing, or I can directly kill people and cause trouble, if not, there must be other ways!"
Lin Ji felt that maybe the mastermind didn't want his plan to be exposed too soon, because once the vitality in the transformation woman's body was exhausted, the hairy palms on her body would immediately turn into claws and become a monster.
If that time really comes, the first victims will definitely be the people in the ministers' houses.
And just like Mrs. Luo back then, if Lin Ji hadn't woken her up, even if someone discovered something was wrong with her, they wouldn't have dared to investigate.
After all, the identity is there.
"But it still doesn't make sense."
Lin Ji frowned deeply.
"This statement was valid before, but this matter has been going on for so long. The ministers in the capital are all in danger. Whenever something goes wrong, Supervisor Tiansi will personally come to the door, but the dark hands are still using this method. Why do you use means to harm people?"
After thinking for a long time, Lin Ji couldn't think of a reason.
Therefore, we can only temporarily put aside the other party's motives and ignore them as before.
"When refining Bian Po, you need to stay away from water and in a very dark place."
"Go to Supervisor Tiansi tomorrow and ask for a geographical map of Jingzhou first."
With a plan in mind, Lin Ji looked up at the sky. The bright moon was hanging high, and it was already late at night.
He simply didn't sleep and practiced cross-legged under the peach tree.
time flies.
In a blink of an eye, it was already early morning.
Lin Ji was woken up by a knock on the door.
After withdrawing from the cultivation state, he opened the door of the small courtyard, only to find that standing outside the door was Lao Jin, the housekeeper of the Lu family.
"Mr. Lin, the lady asked me to give this to you."
Lao Jin handed over a jade plaque. The jade plaque was crystal clear and extraordinary, with the word "zhen" engraved on the front.
"This is?"
"This is a token of the master. With this thing, Master Lin can travel unimpeded in the Tiantian Division."
Lin Ji understood and accepted the jade token.
After Lao Jin left, Lin Ji also left the courtyard.
There are only four days left and there can be no further delay.
After four days, the person will definitely not be rescued, and there will be no point in further investigation.
...
Supervise Tiansi Fuyamen.
Because I had already been here yesterday, the government servant at the door did not stop me this time.
After entering the yamen, Lin Ji asked a random yamen servant. After learning where Lei Bao was, he quickly found him.
In the study, Lei Bao sat behind the desk, which was filled with documents from all over Jingzhou.
He leaned on the chair in a daze, and did not wake up until Lin Ji approached the study.
This scene gave Lin Ji a strong sense of déjà vu.
The same was true for him in Liangzhou.
"Brother Lin, how did you rest last night?"
Lin Ji smiled bitterly and said: "Not so good, I got into trouble."
"Huh? Is this my brother's errand to come to the capital?"
"Not entirely, it's just an accident."
Lin Ji took out the jade token he had just received.
Seeing this jade token, Lei Bao suddenly understood everything, but his expression became more serious.
"Brother Lin, has Duke Zhen found you?"
"Lu Zhaoer and I know each other. She hosted a banquet for me at the Lu Mansion last night. I didn't know about it until I went there." Lin Ji explained helplessly.
Lei Bao breathed a sigh of relief.
As the chief arrester of Jingzhou, there is no reason why the cases handled by the city's Supervisory Office would not pass through his hands.
In the past half year, he has personally handled more than a dozen cases of wife-changing in the capital.
"Do you know the identities of the two missing people from the Zhenguo Duke's mansion?" Lei Bao asked again.
"I heard that she is the biological sister of His Majesty."
"You don't need to hear it, that's it." Lei Bao said expressionlessly, "Brother Lin, even the Supervisor Tiansi is no longer investigating this matter, what else do you have to investigate."
"Can't shirk it."
"Have you said it to death?" Lei Bao asked again.
"No, I'm just trying my best." Lin Ji replied.
"That's okay." Lei Bao breathed a sigh of relief, "You came with the token of the Duke of Zhen. I can't refuse this. I don't have anyone from Jingzhou Prefecture to do this, but other than that, you have to What? What."
Lin Ji nodded. He knew about this before he came.
"The geographical map of Jingzhou's mountains and rivers would be best if the places where spiritual energy gathers and the places where yin energy gathers are all marked in detail."
"Are you going to start from the extremely dark place?" Lei Bao nodded.
Seeing that Lei Bao was not surprised, Lin Ji asked: "You found someone before, did you do the same thing?"
"Yes, I found it in a mass grave just outside the city. The soil was all newly buried, so it didn't take much effort." Lei Bao admitted frankly.
"Then why doesn't the remaining one follow this clue?"
Lei Bao stopped talking, and there was also a bit of helplessness on his face.
Lin Ji immediately understood that he was unwilling to take action.
Compared to the reopening of the Demon Suppression Tower, everything else is a side detail.
Even if it involves the emperor's sister.
...
Lin Ji quickly obtained the mountain and river geography map of Jingzhou.
After saying goodbye to Lei Bao, he left the government office and left the capital all the way.
The first stop was to find the mass grave of Lu Zhaoer's aunt.
After the spiritual exploration, there was nothing strange, except for a few little ghosts hiding in the coffins.
Lin Ji didn't bother to pay attention and walked towards the next dark place along the map.
But while he was on his way, Lin Ji still felt a little weird in his heart.
"No matter how close we are to a formidable enemy, we shouldn't even be able to find the people running errands. For such a big thing as the Demon Suppression Tower, officials above Yu Xingxing must stay in the capital, but what about the demon hunters below?"
"It's just following the map to find the extremely dark place. It's so simple, why not check it?"
There was something strange about this matter, especially Lei Bao's attitude just now, which made Lin Ji a little more confused.
Lei Bao seemed to know something, but he couldn't say it clearly.
"That's all, let's find someone first and then talk about anything else."
