He was sent to jail as soon as the case was first investigated and made no contribution to the case at all.
Moreover, this person has obviously just taken office and has not handled any case. It is exactly the same with him or not. Where does he get the face to do that
So they were filled with righteous indignation: "Captain Qiao is right."
"Captain Qiao is back now. It looks like the case of the impermanent monster will be solved soon."
While they were discussing, a white paper crane fell from the sky. It was Mingyue, the female cultivator from Xuantian Sect.
The female cultivator Mingyue was about to speak, but suddenly her mind moved and she took out a green lamp from her bosom.
The light of this lamp is a strange green color.
As the female cultivator Mingyue walked towards Qiaomu, the green light also grew slightly larger. It was originally just a flame, but by the time it reached in front of Qiaomu, the flame had grown to the size of a fist.
"This is actually a blessing in disguise." The female cultivator Mingyue glanced at the green lantern in her hand:
"The last time I encountered that monster, I used a tracking spell to tamper with it... If this green lamp gets close to the monster, flames will rise..."
"You have some of that monster's aura on you."
"Tell me, where have you seen that monster, or the dying person, in the past two days?"
Qiao Mu was slightly startled.
"Is he in prison?" The one who spoke was Chief Constable Chen. She was quite perceptive and was the first to react:
"I also heard that a prisoner died in prison recently..."
Qiao Mu also understood immediately.
Speaking of dying people and creatures that look like monsters, the first thing that comes to mind is that strange perverted cat.
Qiao Mu nodded calmly:
"Yes, just as you thought. I committed a crime in advance in order to solve the case of the impermanence monster and lay in ambush in the prison. I have indeed seen the impermanence monster and discovered its true form."
Chief Constable Chen: ... .
She used to have some respect for Qiumu, but now it is completely gone.
"Tell me, what does the monster's true form look like?" asked Captain Chen.
Qiao Mu explained:
"It's a motley cat, a mixture of white, black and yellow..."
At this point, he began to wonder again. Was the perverted cat from a day or two ago really the murderous monster in the case? And wasn't it said before that it was a tiger monster
"It turned out to be a demon cat." At this time, the female cultivator Mingyue suddenly spoke:
"This monster is quite cunning, and its true identity is unknown. I only just realized it is a demon cat, thanks to this captain."
Chapter 72 Catching Cat (3k
Inside the dark prison, there was a faint musty smell in the air.
A small ray of sunlight shone through the narrow window, and dust particles floated in the light.
Qiao Mu, who had just been released from prison, returned to the prison and saw the same unchanged scene.
"Why is Qiao Pifu back again?"
"He cursed the emperor again?"
The prisoners were surprised at first and made a few comments, but soon stopped talking.
Following Qiao Mu in came the city's Chief Constable Chen, several detectives in black robes, and Mingyue, a female monk in Taoist robes.
"That seems to be the immortal leader of Xuantian Sect?"
"Did this Mr. Qiao bring a fairy back to go to jail? Is that so?" someone murmured in his heart.
Soon a jailer knocked on the iron bars, asking the prisoners to be quiet and not act rashly.
Qiao Mu didn't have the time to reminisce with these prisoners, so he led everyone to the cell where he had stayed before.
"That's where I saw the impermanence monster," Qiao Mu recalled.
"But the demon cat didn't hurt anyone in front of me... Chief Constable, are there any other victims in this case with claw marks or bite marks from the demon cat?"
Chief Constable Chen frowned slightly and did not answer immediately. However, the constable next to him was smart and answered quickly:
"Captain Qiao, that monster is just like the legendary messengers of the underworld, the Black and White Impermanence, and has the ability to capture souls and spirits."
"Every time the monster of impermanence appears, there will be deaths."
"Some of the dead had no external signs of injury, while others had fatal claw marks. They really looked like the wounds were caused by cat-tiger monsters."
In fact, Chief Inspector Chen had already mentioned these things when he first explained the case, but Qiao Mu didn't listen much at the time.
Now that he asked this question, the truth was exposed.
But Qiao Mu was still stubborn:
"Is there a possibility that the monster didn't kill anyone, but just sensed the so-called death aura and was attracted to the dying person? It's just that it always appears at the murder scene, so it is mistaken for a murderous monster?"
Qiao Mu was the only one among the crowd who had seen the true form of the monster Wuchang. He had not read the files and had no preconceived ideas, so he had his own opinion.
Of course, this may also be another kind of preconception, so it's just a guess.
As soon as these words were spoken, the detectives nearby all looked surprised.
Chief Constable Chen frowned and said:
"Captain Qiao, why are you speaking for this monster?"
"Isn't it common sense for monsters to hurt people, or even eat them?"
Qiao Mu retorted: "Do the spiritual beasts raised by the immortal cultivators eat humans? What's the difference between them and ordinary monsters? Do they have an extra backer?"
As soon as these words came out.
Everyone in the cell suddenly felt a chill.
This person is really bold. He even dares to say these words in front of the Immortal Mingyue.
"Be careful with your words." The female cultivator Mingyue's eyes turned cold.
"There is a difference between immortals and mortals. How can the spiritual beasts raised by us immortals be lumped together with monsters?"
This female cultivator Mingyue looked very young, only about twenty years old, but when she scolded Qiao Mu, who looked to be in his thirties or forties, she acted condescendingly.
She didn't care much about Qiao Mu at first, until he spoke back to her just now, and then she realized that he was the same captain who had contradicted her before and was arrested by the soldiers.
The atmosphere became increasingly tense, and a chill gradually spread, causing the surrounding prisoners to shiver.
This female cultivator Mingyue was obviously a person who was arrogant and had a bad temper, and she refused to give in at all.
It’s started, it’s started...Qiaomu rubbed his hands excitedly.
He had heard about immortal cultivators many times, but had never fought against one.
"Let me think about what kind of lines would be cooler to kill her or be killed by her."
Qiumu began to think hard.
It's not that he likes to show off, it's mainly because of the Ouroboros in his head that has led him, a good young man, astray.
One minute on stage is the result of ten years of hard work off stage. In order to show his sagacity in front of others, Qiao Mu has been thinking hard.
He did not speak for the time being, and in the eyes of everyone, it seemed that he was in a silent confrontation with the Immortal Mingyue.
The atmosphere became increasingly tense.
Sudden.
"Fairy Mingyue." A crisp female voice broke the silence. Chief Constable Chen stood between the two of them calmly. She raised her hand high, holding a few strands of fine cat hair.
"I found this animal hair on the floor of this cell."
"Ordinary animals cannot enter this prison. These hairs must be the hairs of the monster of impermanence."
Chief Constable Chen's interruption interrupted the confrontation between the two and also diverted the attention of Immortal Mingyue.
"Hmm? Not bad."
She was obviously delighted:
"You have done a great job this time."
"With these few strands of hair, I can ask the Saintess of the sect to help me refine a magical tool for tracking. It shouldn't be difficult to catch this impermanent monster then."
She was overjoyed and turned away.
Qiao Mu, who was racking his brains to come up with the lines, hadn't reacted yet when the female cultivator had already walked away.
Running so fast
The corner of Qiao Mu's eyes twitched slightly and he glanced at Chief Constable Chen who was blocking his way.
This stinky woman ruined my relationship with that fairy sister! It turned out that it was right to keep a distance from her.
Chen Yingxue seemed to notice Qiao Mu's gaze, but she didn't say anything. She just talked about business:
"Captain Qiao, the deceased who had contact with the evil spirit you mentioned before was imprisoned in that cell before he died?" Chief Constable Chen pointed to the empty cell next to him.
"good."
Seeing Qiao Mu nod, Chief Constable Chen waved to the prison clerk who was following him:
"Who is the prisoner? Bring me his file."
The clerk was startled and said with a wry smile:
"Captain, that person's story has nothing to do with this case. Besides, his case happened many years ago, so it's not easy to dig it up."
"If you don't want to take it, then I should go?" Chief Constable Chen looked calm.
So the clerk left in a hurry, and after a while, he brought back a slightly yellowed file.
Chief Constable Chen took a few glances and was suddenly startled. He asked:
"Captain Qian has a stomachache today, so he's absent from work, right?"
"Yes." The constable next to him nodded.
Chief Constable Chen pondered for a moment, put the file away again, and said slowly:
"There is nothing unusual about this file and it is indeed irrelevant to this case."
"You should go back and rest first. If the Immortal Mingyue really refines a magical instrument, we can catch the monster Wuchang in one fell swoop."
After the detectives left, Chief Constable Chen unfolded the file again and read it carefully, frowning from time to time.
... .
Two nights later.
Qiao Mu and a group of constables took a green lantern from Chen Yingxue at the gate of the yamen.
"After obtaining those few hairs, the immortals of Xuantian Sect refined a magical tool specifically for tracking." Chief Constable Chen explained:
"This green lamp can detect the location of the impermanent monster within a radius of 100 meters."
"If you find the light of the green lantern drifting in a certain direction, notify Immortal Mingyue immediately."
After giving the instructions, Captain Chen divided all the detectives into eight teams, each of which searched the four directions of east, south, west and north within the city.
Qiao Mu and Captain Qian are in charge of the west of the city.
While patrolling the west of the city, Qiumu still felt a little unwilling.
"Why didn't Immortal Mingyue show up this time? Instead, he handed the magic weapon Qingdeng over to the chief constable?"
If he doesn't show up, how can he find a reason to give her gold coins
However, Captain Qian next to him was a smart guy who saw it more clearly and thought to himself:
"This chief constable is really thoughtful and perceptive. He is afraid that Constable Qiao will conflict with the Immortal, so he even took this into consideration."
He and Qiao Mu each led a team of detectives to patrol the streets in the west of the city, searching for any trace of the monster.
"Why must it be the west of the city? If I were put in charge of the north of the city, I would go to Xuantian Temple to burn some incense." Qiao Mu was still a little indignant and muttered to himself.
"Captain Qiao is really good at joking... hehe." Captain Qian beside him laughed awkwardly and broke out in a cold sweat.
