Xu Taiping carefully recalled all the details from the time he entered the house to the present, especially Ji Xiaoshan's language, demeanor and other details, and considered them one by one.
After a while, I became more certain of my guess.
This case is not that simple.
This woman is not that simple either.
Maybe it's a big case.
I just hope that the water demon mentioned in the case has nothing to do with the dragon girl.
Xu Taiping knew it well, but did not reveal it. Instead, he assured Ji Xiaoshan with a smile: "It's okay if I don't know about this matter. Since I know it, I will definitely help Brother Yu avenge his revenge."
Ji Xiaoshan hurriedly saluted: "Young Master Liu is a righteous man, and this little girl will deeply appreciate it."
Xu Taiping shook his head gently and stopped talking. Instead, he asked, "Aren't you afraid of the two of you living here?"
"Afraid," Ji Xiaoshan sighed softly: "But what can I do if I'm afraid? This is the little girl's only home, not to mention the county magistrate strictly prohibits the little girl from leaving, so I have to stay here even if I'm afraid."
"Ren Yude didn't harass you again?"
"No, maybe to avoid suspicion, but he will definitely come. That person is the most cruel and ruthless person."
Xu Taiping asked again: "You identified him as the murderer, but the county magistrate also said that the murderer used water arrows similar to magic. Could it be that he is a monster?"
When Ji Xiaoshan heard this question, her face changed slightly. After a moment of hesitation, she leaned close to Xu Taiping's ear and said in a very low voice: "Yes."
"Um?"
"Lianshou County is very special, Mr. Liu. Many people look like humans, more like humans than humans, but they are most likely demons."
"Can a monster also be a county captain?"
"able."
"Are you sure that Ren Yude is a monster?"
"It's just a guess, but in Lianshou County, this kind of guess is very accurate. If you encounter anything that goes against common sense, it's absolutely right to guess about monsters."
Xu Taiping didn't know what to say for a while.
When something happens, just blame the monster?
What is this?
But if what the master said is true, it is not impossible. The imperial court should have acquiesced in the existence of this status quo. After all, there are people in the state who have been here, so it is impossible not to know.
If you know but don't deal with it, that's not acquiescence.
Sure enough, the world is huge and full of wonders.
However, Ji Xiaoshan's words cannot be believed at all.
Thinking of this, he looked at Ji Xiaoshan with clear and calm eyes: "Since your county lieutenant may be a monster, you have to prevent him from leaving a back-up in this house."
Ji Xiaoshan suddenly panicked and grabbed Xu Taiping's arm: "Ah? What should I do?"
Then he realized something was wrong, his face turned red instantly, he let go, lowered his head and stopped talking.
Xu Taiping stood up as if unaware: "Can I help eliminate hidden dangers?"
"What should I do, little girl?"
"Just take me around in a circle."
"this……"
"It's okay, just take a look," Xu Taiping said, pretending to be polite: "You can see everything clearly."
In fact, he has a sharp eye.
Fierce Eyes and Golden Eyes are much better than discerning, but the cost of using them is one skill use. Of course, choose Fierce Eyes and Golden Eyes.
Open your eyes.
Xu Taiping looked at Ji Xiaoshan first.
Well, not a monster.
No, there's something evil about it.
That's not right, it's not the same as ordinary demonic energy. It feels a bit like a Taoist priest, which is very strange.
But it didn't come from Ji Xiaoshan herself, but from a bead. It was... a magic weapon?
Sure enough, this woman is not simple either.
That magic weapon doesn't look like an ordinary magic weapon, and it seems to be of high quality.
Xu Taiping glanced at the little maid again.
Huh?
This little maid is a monster!
Still a water monster.
But it looks quite cute. The body is a small goldfish in red, yellow and white colors.
I just don't know if Ji Xiaoshan knows about this.
Xu Taiping just pretended that he didn't notice anything, and his eyes fell on Ji Xiaoshan again: "Brothers and sisters, lead the way."
Ji Xiaoshan hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Mr. Liu, please come with me."
Ji Xiaoshan led the way and took Xu Taiping around the Yu family's mansion, looking at each room, including the bedroom.
Finished reading.
Ji Xiaoshan looked at Xu Taiping eagerly and asked, "Mr. Liu, have you found anything?"
Xu Taiping shook his head: "Everything is normal."
"real?"
"Well," Xu Taiping smiled: "There is no monster that can hide from my eyes."
"That's good, that's good," Ji Xiaoshan breathed a long sigh of relief, but her eyes showed a little disappointment: "Mr. Liu, tonight..."
Xu Taiping didn't wait for Ji Xiaoshan to finish, and interrupted directly: "I have my own place to go, brothers and sisters, see you later."
After that, he stood up and left.
After leaving the Yu family's mansion, he quietly returned and quietly observed the movements of Ji Xiaoshan's master and servant.
However, they found nothing. The master and servant only focused on discussing his identity, appearance and strength.
At the end of the story, I realized that the only thing recognized by the master and servant was his appearance.
Wait until the master and servant go to bed.
Xu Taiping left quietly, changed his appearance, and found an inn to stay.
Um.
The innkeeper is also a monster. He is a bird, a colorful bird, but in human form he is a fat old man with big ears.
But he was pretty good at doing business. He wasn't angry when he was woken up in the middle of the night, and he didn't charge more for the room. He even asked the waiter to prepare hot water for him.
Early the next morning.
After walking around the city, the middle-aged man transformed by Xu Taiping found a place to have breakfast. He grabbed the stall owner and asked, "Old man, I want to ask you something."
"Hey, what's the matter?"
"Where is the Yu family's mansion?"
"Why are you looking for the Yu family's mansion?"
"Oh, my master received an invitation from the Yu family a few days ago, saying that Mr. Yu got married. He couldn't attend because of the long distance. He asked me to make a trip to send gifts and congratulations to the Yu family."
"The Yu family..."
The stall owner sighed, but didn't say much, he just pointed the way.
Xu Taiping took the opportunity to ask: "Hey, looking at your expression, it seems you have something to say. What's the matter?"
"You'll know when you go there."
"You tell me first."
The stall owner just shook his head.
Xu Taiping pretended to be angry: "You old man, you are so rude, what can you say?"
The stall owner still shook his head.
Xu Taiping reached into his arms, took out a silver coin and slapped it on the table: "Should I tell you or not?"
The stall owner was still hesitating, but his eyes fell on the money and he couldn't move away: "This..."
Xu Taiping shouted to other diners: "Who knows the situation of the Yu family? Tell me who this money belongs to."
The stall owner was anxious, rushed to the table, grabbed the silver and stuffed it into his arms: "I'll tell you what I said."
"Hurry up, don't leave any ink marks."
"Hey, the Yu family is pitiful. Such a big family property has been ruined by such a broom star. On the night of the wedding, thirty-two members of the Yu family and twelve overnight guests all died unexpectedly. It was a happy event. It turned into a funeral, and the case has not been solved until now. Do you think it is pitiful or not?"
When Xu Taiping heard this, he looked shocked: "All dead?"
"They are all dead, not a single one is left, including the family's dog and cat. Only one bride is left."
"Is the bride alone?"
"Yes, he died and only one bride was left."
"Then what is the origin of the bride?"
"The shopkeeper of Laoji Warehouse."
"Still a female shopkeeper?"
"Yes, that family's surname is Ji. Both parents died three years ago. The bride took over the warehouse and became the shopkeeper. She didn't transfer it until she got married."
"Sended?"
"Otherwise, how can she continue to be the shopkeeper? Besides, after becoming the young mistress of the Yu family, who would care about such a small warehouse?"
"What about the murderer?"
"Everyone thinks that the murderer is the bride, but the bride identifies the county captain Ren as the murderer. The county magistrate is also confused. The case has not been solved until now. I pity the more than thirty people in the Yu family..."
Xu Taiping asked again: "The bride named Ji is a master of martial arts?"
"That's not true, she is just an ordinary person, but there are rumors that she...ahem, said that she has contacts with the monsters in Lianshui."
"No matter what, the county magistrate is at least a Confucian and Taoist monk at the level of human beings. Doesn't he have the magical power to solve the case? Just let it go like this?"
