Zhang Mozhi had been looking for clues provided by the defenders after he had accepted the demon case.
At first, he had checked the Thousand Spirits Chess Saint's family lineage and found out who he had been in contact with recently. He had treated it as an assassination case, but later, Zhang Mozhi had found something wrong with the corpses!
Therefore, Zhang Mozhi was more careful.
It wasn't until a few corpses left behind by demons were found in the Imperial City that Zhang Mozhi finally changed the direction of the investigation.
Until the next few days, there were traces of demons causing trouble.
The demon case that had originally ended with the Thousand Spirits Chess Saint had been continued!
The Fake Demon Case seemed to be changing in another direction.
On this day, Zhang Mozhi received the news of the demon attack from the garrison. He quickly brought a few trustworthy and experienced criminal guards out of the palace.
When they reached the place, the guards were there to receive them.
"Lord Zhang."
Zhang Mozhi dismounted." What's the situation?”
The commander of the garrison pointed to a commoner beside him." This is a demon witness. He said that he saw a demon skinning a human.”
The commoner said," Really! It's true!"
"If it wasn't for the fact that the generals arrived quickly, I would have been killed by the yaomo.”
Zhang Mozhi asked," What's the specific situation? Tell me."”
The commoner hurriedly replied," Just four hours ago, I just came back from buying wine in the inner city. When I got home, I didn't even have a few sips when I saw two people fighting in the opposite room from the window.”
"I hid by the window and looked carefully. It was a purplish-black, naked, ugly guy with a sharp chin and sharp teeth tearing the skin of another person.”
"I was scared at that time. I quickly covered my mouth and didn't dare to make any sound. I lay on the ground until I heard the sound of soldiers passing by and the sound of armor.”
The commander said," After he said that, I brought people to take a look. There was indeed a skinned corpse in that house, just like the previous ones.”
"I've tried this person too. He doesn't have any strength in his body. He's just an ordinary person.”
Zhang Mozhi nodded." Bring me to take a look."”
The moment he entered the house, he was greeted by the smell of blood. At the same time, there was a strange smell that made him feel uncomfortable.
There was also this smell at the scene of the previous demon case. Zhang Mozhi later went back to check the ancient books and guessed that this might be the demonic aura left behind by the demon.
However, the demonic aura at this scene was a little too thick.
The previous demonic aura dissipated quickly and disappeared in a few hours, but the demonic aura here was still condensed.
could it be
Zhang Mozhi said," Pay attention to your surroundings. If it's really a demon, it's very likely that it's still here.”
The few of them began to investigate the scene and noticed the corpse first.
However, before they could get close, a strange roar came from behind the room.
What followed was a monster with a purple-black body, a strange appearance, a sharp chin, a mouth full of sharp teeth, and a pair of sharp claws!
This monster was wearing human skin, but it was unsuccessful. It was hanging halfway, looking very strange.
Demons!
The demon charged at Zhang Mozhi.
Zhang Mozhi was shocked and turned his body to kick back.
"Get lost!"
The demon was hit by Zhang Mozhi and broke out of the window.
The demon that escaped did not even turn its head and disappeared into the night. As soon as they came out, they could only see its shadow.
Zhang Mozhi muttered," Great, the fake demon case has become the real demon case!”
"This is a big matter. This demon ran away in front of everyone. Who knows how many people will be alarmed along the way.”
"This time, the Imperial City is really going to be lively.”
After cleaning up the scene, Zhang Mozhi quickly sent someone to the palace to send a message to Su Yuan.
......
"Ahem."
Hong Xiu coughed.
Su Yuan said," Go and rest. Let the imperial doctor get you some medicine."”
Hong Xiu said," It's fine. It's just a cold. I caught a chill. I'll be fine tomorrow."”
Su Yuan was helpless.
An urgent report came from outside the palace.
"Let him in."
The Punishment Division and the Punishment Guards arrived at Su Yuan's Palace.
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
"What is it?"
Xing Wei said," The demon case that you previously transferred to the Criminal Division has made new progress under Lord Zhang Mozhi's investigation.”
"Oh?" Su Yuan was interested.
Xing Wei said," The fake demon case has been reported again recently! There were demons causing trouble in the Imperial City again. Lord Zhang investigated and finally found traces of demons!”
"Just now, Lord Zhang saw a real demon in the outer Chengdong District! The demon was purple-black in color and had a mouth full of sharp teeth. It had a strange appearance and a pair of sharp claws, similar to the demons recorded in the ancient books.”
"Unfortunately, that demon was too fast. We weren't able to capture it and it escaped.”
Hearing this, Su Yuan's eyes narrowed.
The fake demon case had become the real demon case!
The changes behind this
"Your Highness, there were witnesses to the appearance of the demon. When the demon escaped, many people probably saw it. The Criminal Division has already filed a case. This matter will probably cause the entire Imperial City to fall into panic.”
"I understand. You may leave."
"Yes."
The criminal guard gave Su Yuan the detailed report that Zhang Mozhi had submitted and left Lin Yuan Palace.
At the door of the room, Su Yuan stood facing the snow and read Zhang Mozhi's report carefully.
"Hongxiu, prepare the carriage. I want to leave the palace.”
"Isn't this prince too dangerous? Last time, you coughed."
"A small fry can't hurt me."
"Go, remember to put on more clothes for yourself.”
"" Hong Xiu was unable to persuade him, so she could only silently leave.
"Sangui."
"Master, this servant is here."
"Stay in the palace and help me find out who is paying attention to the demon case.”
"Master, don't worry. Leave these things to this servant. I guarantee that I'll do it for you.”
Sanguizi was a clever person. He had something to say to the eunuchs and maids in the palace. He was good at inquiring about information.
After settling some matters in Lin Yuan Palace, Su Yuan left the palace again because of the demon case.
