The next day, inside the Misty Cloud Pavilion.
"Sir, are you looking for our lady today?”A male turtle asked Yang Yuxuan while gently stroking the turtle in his hand.
"I want to see your lady boss."
"Yo! Why are there so many people wanting to see our Lady Boss today? Why don't you wait with the three over there? I'll go get them.”After saying that, he pointed in the direction of the stage.
Yang Yuxuan looked in the direction that Lord Turtle was pointing at and felt that the three figures were very familiar. He walked up and saw Zhou Jie, Zhu Yipin and Liu Ruoxin who was disguised as a man. Yang Yuxuan suddenly asked Liu Ruoxin angrily," Is this the information sharing you mentioned?”
"Aren't you the same? We're the same.”Liu Ruoxin retorted.
"Alright, the investigation is more important now. Let's put these small matters aside for now.”Zhou Jie saw that the two of them were arguing again and quickly interrupted them. Otherwise, the two of them would definitely fight.
After a while, the police came out and welcomed the four people into the private room. After some questioning, they found out that Cui E had already died. Seeing that the clues had been cut off again, everyone had to return to the medical hall. As soon as they entered, they saw a Taoist priest opening an altar and performing a ritual. He looked like an expert.
Zhu Yipin saw such a big commotion and asked curiously," Anan, what's going on?”
"Where did you guys go? Luckily, we managed to catch up with Daoist Tian Long's ritual.”" I'm telling you," Zhao Buzhu said immediately," it was not easy for me to get this job. It's so popular now." An 'an, I'm still the one who's loyal to the clinic.”
Seeing Zhao Buzhu trying to please Chen Anan again, Zhu Yipin said disdainfully," What loyalty? I think it's just superstition."”
Chen Anan explained," Who cares! Now, there are rumors that our clinic has been targeted by the fox demon. No one dares to come and treat us. Inviting them to perform a ritual would also make them feel at ease.”
At this moment, Daoist Tian Long finally finished his ritual." I've already covered the entire house with my Genuine Qi. You're safe for now." However, if you want to eradicate it, there are only two ways.”Here he comes, the Ming Dynasty version of a salesman.
Chen Anan stepped forward and asked," What method? Just say it directly. Don't keep me in suspense."
"The first is to sell me this copper coin sword. This sword has been cast by me for eighty-one days. Put it in the house and kill ghosts and demons. However, this item was hard to come by, so it was naturally expensive.”
Chen Anan was tempted at first, but when she heard that money was needed, her face changed immediately." How much?”
"Thirty taels."
"30 taels? Why don't you go rob?" Everyone was shocked by Daoist Tian Long's offer.
"Since it's a treasure that was hard to come by, you can keep it for yourself. Tell me about the second method.”Zhou Jie knew that Chen Anan was reluctant to spend so much money.
"There are plenty of people like this in my cultivation path.”Daoist Tian Long looked around and saw that no one wanted to buy it, so he gave up." As for the second type, it's this bracelet. It has the same magical power and can only be worn by a person. Not only can it protect themselves, but it can also bless men and women to find their sweetheart as soon as possible.”
Chen Anan was obviously tempted." How much is it?"”
"Ten bucks for one, buy four get one free."
"This is good. I'll buy two." As she spoke, Chen Anan took out her money and bought two. She tied one for herself and handed the other to Zhu Yipin.
"I'll buy two too." Zhou Jie also took two bracelets. Would I tell you that he only bought them because they looked like a couple's bracelet?
"I'll leave this gift to you. Alright! I've already prepared this house. You don't have to worry.”After saying that, a puff of white smoke came out. After the smoke dispersed, Daoist Tian Long had already disappeared without a trace.
"Daoist Tian Long's qinggong is really good.”Zhou Jie sighed with emotion, then turned around and walked to Liu Ruoxin's side." Miss Liu, this is for you.”Immediately, four pairs of eyes turned to look at him. "You, don't misunderstand. I bought it because it was cheap. Yang Yuxuan gave you the other one. I still have something to do, so I'll be leaving first." Zhou Jie was frightened by the four people's stares. As soon as he finished speaking, he fled like flying. In his panic, he even used the Golden Goose Skill.
As soon as Zhou Jie left, Zhu Yipin, Chen Anan, and Zhao Buzhu started to discuss in a low voice. Zhu Yipin said,"I didn't expect Old Zhou to like Liu Ruoxin."”
"Since Zhou Jie likes Liu Ruoxin, we will help him. This is our duty as friends." Chen Anan said this, but she was thinking,"Haha!" That's great! If Liu Ruoxin is with Zhou Jie, no one will fight with me for Brother Zhu.”
"He's usually quiet. I didn't expect him to suddenly do this to me.”Zhao Buzhu also interjected, but he seemed to be a little unconvinced.
On the other side, Yang Yuxuan also walked to Liu Ruoxin and said with a weird tone," No wonder you're the No.1 master of West Military Yard. You've already seduced a man so quickly."”
"I, I don't even know what you're talking about.”Liu Ruoxin sounded flustered. She rolled her eyes at Yang Yuxuan and left the lobby without looking back. Her face was slightly red as she held the bracelet that Zhou Jie gave her.
At night, Zhou Jie and the other three found Cuie's grave according to the introduction of the Misty Cloud Pavilion. Of course, there were men who did the physical work, but Yang Yuxuan could do nothing about corpses and ghosts. Zhu Yipin was weak, and Zhou Jie was the one who did the most. Finally, after some hard work, they finally dug out Cuie's coffin. The atmosphere became more and more tense. After all, not everyone was so calm when it came to opening the coffin and examining the corpse.
"Hey!" Liu Ruoxin suddenly jumped out from behind," What are you looking at?”
"Ah!" Zhou Jie and the other two were shocked. Zhu Yipin complained loudly," Didn't I tell you to stand guard outside? What? Why didn't you say that you were wearing all of your clothes? Don't you know that scaring people will scare them to death?”
Liu Ruoxin smiled,"I'm just curious!"”，However, Zhou Jie knew that she must have planned this. He had already seen Liu Ruoxin's black-bellied character on TV.
"Alright, stop looking. Open it quickly!”As he spoke, Zhou Jie reached his hand out to the coffin and opened the lid. It was not a female corpse lying in the coffin, but the corpse of a white fox. Yang Yuxuan quickly closed his eyes and touched the bracelet on his left hand with his right hand, muttering something.
"Ah!" Liu Ruoxin was frightened by the scene in front of her and asked in surprise,"Is there really a fox demon?"”
At this moment, a series of footsteps sounded. Jin Rufeng led a group of constables running over from afar. Many torches lit up the surroundings.
The constables surrounded the four of them. Jin Rufeng stepped forward and said," It's you guys. Why aren't you sleeping in the middle of the night? What are you doing sneaking around?”
Zhou Jie walked up to Jin Rufeng and said,"Constable Jin, why do you ask when you already know?" Our goal is the same as yours. Since you brought people here, you must have been to the Misty Cloud Pavilion, right? Otherwise, why would we meet in this place in the middle of the night?”
"You're quite smart. However, robbing a tomb and destroying a corpse can still be punished for a serious crime.”Jin Rufeng's tone was unyielding, and his threat was obvious.
"Constable Jin, you should take a look at the corpse first. When you see it, you probably won't have the time to punish us.”Zhu Yipin saw that the two were at loggerheads and hurriedly changed the topic so that Zhou Jie would not be at a disadvantage.
When Zhu Yipin and the others walked away, the coffin behind them was revealed. The fox's corpse inside scared the constables so much that their expressions changed drastically. "Fox demon, fox demon, save me!" One of the constables couldn't stand the fear in his heart. He threw down his saber and turned to run.
"I'm really sorry. I've been a police officer for so many years, but I've never seen such a monstrous thing. I don't know what's causing this.”Jin Rufeng explained with an awkward expression. It was obvious that he was embarrassed to see his subordinate run away in front of outsiders.
"It's actually very simple. Along the way, all the evidence pointed to the fact that the woman in the tomb, Cui Er, had turned into a fox demon and was causing trouble.”After saying that, Zhou Jie glanced at Jin Rufeng. As expected, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"Do you really think so?" Liu Ruoxin asked curiously. After all, according to her understanding, Zhou Jie wasn't a person who would believe that monsters killed people.
"It's not that I think so. Someone made me think so.”Zhou Jie looked at Jin Rufeng with a scorching gaze that no one dared to look at.
"We can't jump to conclusions about this matter yet. There have been legends of fox demons cultivating into humans since ancient times, but no one has ever seen it. How can you be sure that the one in the coffin is Cuie?”Yang Yuxuan refuted Zhou Jie's words. He did not believe that fox demons really existed in this world.
Jin Rufeng was frightened by Zhou Jie's gaze. He avoided his gaze and said," One moment you say yes, the next moment you say no. You're confusing me." Tell me, what should we do?"
Zhou Jie saw that he didn't dare to look at him directly and was secretly pleased. You're starting to feel guilty now that I'm right!”; Although he was happy to hear this, Zhou Jie still looked serious on the surface." If Constable Jin believes us, I want to bring this fox's body back for an autopsy.”
Jin Rufeng asked in shock,"You guys even know how to use vet's stuff?"”
Zhou Jie pulled Zhu Yipin over and smiled." I don't know how to, but he does.”After saying that, he signaled Zhu Yipin with his eyes.
Zhu Yipin blinked, indicating that he had received it." Sir, it's like this. My family was all veterinarians, so I've more or less learned some things." If I can dissect it and study it, I'll definitely find something.”
"Alright, I can give you the fox's corpse.”Jin Rufeng thought for a moment and agreed to Zhou Jie and Zhu Yipin's request." However, this is an important piece of evidence. I can only give you one day. You must return it to the yamen by then." Grave robbing and corpse destroying is already a serious crime. If you can't find any clues, I won't be polite.”With that, he left the cemetery with the constables.
At this time, Liu Ruoxin said,"Can you do it? Don't drag us down."”
"Lady Liu, don't worry. Although Old Zhu was usually unreliable, he still had some skills in medicine. Besides, don't you still have me? I'll take good care of him." Zhou Jie patted his chest and promised.
Zhu Yipin immediately refused." Zhou Jie, you forget your friends when you see women." Are you complimenting me or insulting me?"
Zhu Yipin's words made Zhou Jie and Liu Ruoxin feel awkward. They lowered their heads and kept silent. Fortunately, Yang Yuxuan came out to break the awkwardness." Alright, cut the crap. We don't have much time. Let's go back quickly." After saying that, he led the way and left.
