"The north of the city is the headquarters of the Xuantian Sect. Even if our police chief is investigating a case, it is not easy for him to go in."
This Captain Qiao is a ruthless man who insulted the emperor in public. He would not be too surprised if he forced his way into Xuantian Temple.
When the two were chatting, they were suddenly startled.
The flames of the green lamps in their hands suddenly began to shake violently.
"What's going on? The chief constable only said that if you get close to the demon cat, the flames will float in one direction, but what's going on now?"
When the two were wondering, they heard a meow from a distance.
A calico cat, almost a shadow in the night, was rushing towards them.
"This... This is different from what we said beforehand, right? Didn't we say that this demon cat would escape and we would chase it separately?" Captain Qian was stunned.
Under his astonished gaze, the calico cat rushed to Qiao Mu, then circled around him again and again, making a low purring sound as it ran.
"It's this perverted cat indeed."
Qiao Mu looked at the green lamp in his hand that was shaking violently, and reached out to grab it.
But his grab woke up the madly running cat, which immediately jumped back and instinctively avoided the grab.
Then the cat looked back at Qiao Mu, then turned around and ran away.
Although this cat is small, it runs very fast, much faster than ordinary wild cats.
Even with Qiao Mu's warrior eyesight, he could only see a black shadow running at high speed.
"Chase!" Qiao Mu took the lead and ran in front.
"Aren't we going to notify the Immortal?" Qian Qian was stunned for a moment, then ordered a constable to contact the Immortal Mingyue, and then he also ran after Qiao Mu.
Oddly enough, although the cat ran extremely fast and was agile, it did not completely escape the pursuit of Qiao Mu and the others. It just kept following them not far behind.
As Qiao Mu and the others ran, they had already turned around from the original wide streets and ran into the deep alleys in the west of the city.
"Captain Qiao, something is not right." Qian Qian followed behind, panting, and said:
"This demon cat seems to have lured us here on purpose."
Qiao Mu was thoughtful:
"You mean...according to this routine, there will be an ambush soon? Dozens of big cats will jump out and ask for petting?"
Qian Qian didn't respond, and Qiao Mu didn't want to make any jokes.
Because they smelled a faint smell of blood ahead.
Qian Qian had been a detective for many years, so he was naturally familiar with the smell of blood.
Qiao Mu was a sixth-rank warrior with a sense of smell that surpassed that of ordinary people, so he discovered this earlier.
Chapter 73 Copycat (4k
In a house in the west of the city.
A middle-aged man in his fifties with slightly gray hair on his temples stood there, with a look of joy on his face.
Jiang Long is the leader of the Chishui Gang, a newly established gang in the city of Heyang.
He was originally a sixth-rank warrior from another place with considerable strength, but he fled to Heyang Prefecture for some reason. He wanted to rebuild a new team in Heyang Prefecture and become a powerful figure.
However, the water in Heyang City is very deep, and there is even a garrison for immortals.
As a sixth-rank warrior, he did not dare to be too arrogant, so he just slowly recruited gang members. Currently, it is still a small gang.
"Stay here and don't move rashly. Don't approach the inner courtyard, and don't let anyone get close to you!"
Jiang Long ordered several gang members to guard the door, then he walked to the inner courtyard alone with his hands behind his back, and did not forget to close the door of the inner courtyard.
Turning around, I saw that a female cultivator in Taoist robes, Mingyue, had appeared in the inner courtyard.
"My Lord." Jiang Long immediately lowered his head.
"Have you thought it through?" Mingyue asked softly.
"It is my honor to work for the Immortal Sect." Jiang Long suppressed the joy in his heart.
He was originally afraid of the Xuantian Sect, the immortal sect in Heyang Prefecture, and therefore did not dare to do anything. Although he was already a sixth-rank warrior, he dared to keep a low profile and mingle with some ordinary warrior gangs, for fear of bringing about a catastrophic disaster.
As a result, instead of the catastrophic disaster, he was favored by the immortal.
Xuantian Sect is one of the nine major immortal sects, with many cultivators, dominating the Southern Province.
But even if it is an immortal sect, it needs some people to help out and do the dirty and tiring work that the immortal cultivators are unwilling to do.
Everyone in the world yearns for immortality, and warriors who are stronger than ordinary people are naturally no exception.
Therefore, it is actually a common thing for warriors to join the immortal sect and help the immortal cultivators.
Jiang Long, the leader of the Chishui Gang, was waiting for just such an opportunity.
"I am a sixth-rank warrior with considerable strength. I think the Immortal Mingyue would look up to me, so he recruited me soon after arriving in the city..."
Thinking this in his mind, Jiang Long remained calm and prepared to wait for the instructions from the Immortal Mingyue.
"Boss, you seem to be a sixth-rank warrior? Very good, your strength is indeed good, but the rank only represents the level of a warrior's internal strength. I want to see your actual combat ability... Of course, I will only give you a brief introduction." The female cultivator Mingyue said calmly:
"Don't make too much noise. If you really want to be a hidden man of the Immortal Sect, then you must act cautiously and not let outsiders know, including the few people under your command."
"I understand." Jiang Long smiled.
He is over fifty years old and has reached the sixth level, but he practices internal martial arts, so the loss of qi and blood is not too serious, and he feels that his strength is still strong enough.
Of course, if I were a few years older, I wouldn’t be sure.
Then, he saw the female cultivator Mingyue gently shake the beast-taming bag, and a huge green-eyed flying tiger suddenly jumped out of it.
.
After a moment.
"Didn't you say that we should stop here..."
Jiang Long fell in a pool of blood, his eyes wide open, his life in danger. In the last moments of his life, he wanted to shout, but his voice seemed unable to be heard.
The Immortal Mingyue was standing beside him, watching him, the silent sound spell in his hand glowing faintly, and he let the huge flying tiger gnaw on his body.
"Xiao Hu, be patient for a while. Don't kill him right away. It's better to keep him alive." Ming Yue said calmly:
"That monster can smell death, which only occurs when someone is about to die. If someone is completely dead, it will be difficult to attract that monster."
According to Mingyue's speculation, the monster Wuchang is still in its infancy. If one wants to provoke it and capture it, bait is naturally indispensable.
During these days, some cases were actually committed by the female cultivator Mingyue, just to attract the monster Wuchang and capture it.
This sixth-rank warrior from outside the area has abundant energy and blood, far more than that of ordinary people, so naturally he has a better chance of attracting the monster.
But later, as more crimes were committed, things started to change a little.
For example, the saint's green-eyed flying tiger.
"Xiao Hu, use less strength and don't bite him to death... he can still be useful." The female cultivator Mingyue took a step forward, trying to stop him.
The next moment, the green-eyed flying tiger turned its head, still biting a piece of the man's flesh in its mouth, its fangs stained with blood, and looked at her viciously.
This beast who doesn't understand human language has started to protect its food... The female cultivator Mingyue's heart trembled slightly and she quickly stopped.
She also didn't want to face this ferocious tiger.
The flesh and blood of monsters is a great tonic for warriors, and the flesh and blood of warriors is also a great tonic for monsters.
Therefore, it is a bit difficult to persuade the Green-Eyed Flying Tiger to give up the piece of flesh and blood in its mouth.
"Things are getting a little out of control. After this Green-Eyed Flying Tiger bit a person to death, its ferocity has increased. Even I can't control it..." The female cultivator Mingyue frowned.
In fact, Immortal Mingyue didn't want to commit a crime against the law.
Because the police constables have found the hair of the monster Wuchang and are searching the entire city, it is only a matter of time before they find the monster's trace.
She has the patience to wait.
But the Green-Eyed Flying Tiger didn't have the patience.
Mingyue herself was a little scared if she didn't take it out for hunting.
"But fortunately, any detective who has read the files knows how terrifying the impermanence monster is, and I have repeatedly told them not to get close to the murder scene. If they find anything unusual, they will tell me the first time instead of going there themselves..."
The constables in Heyang Prefecture are not considered officials, but only clerks.
They usually deal with ordinary cases such as gangsters causing trouble and murders, rather than dealing with powerful bandits or even strange monsters.
Therefore, asking these detectives to investigate the "Impermanence Monster Case" is actually beyond the scope of the task.
The detectives are only responsible for tracking and searching, not for confronting the monsters head-on. Once they find any traces, they must inform Mingyue, a disciple of the immortal sect, and let her take action according to the rules.
While thinking.
A whistling arrow rose into the sky. This was a method of communication agreed upon in advance by the ordinary detectives, indicating that the trace of the monster Wuchang had been discovered.
Then she heard faint noises coming from outside the door, and the sounds of swords and fighting.
Her expression changed slightly, she opened her beast bag, and stepped forward to urge:
"Xiaohu, we have to go."
The green-eyed flying tiger remained motionless and continued to gnaw on the corpse of the Chishui Gang leader, completely unmoved.
Things are getting a little troublesome... Mingyue thought to herself.
At the gate of the house.
The gang leader at the door saw Qiao Mu and the others approaching, and immediately asked alertly:
"Who?"
"The police chief is investigating a case. There is a smell of blood inside the door... Don't block the way." Qiao Mu took the lead and shouted.
"I don't know what you're talking about, this is a private residence!"
Perhaps because the gang members felt guilty, or perhaps because they were following the gang leader's previous orders, someone took the initiative to draw a knife and started the fight first.
"You still dare to obstruct the investigation?"
Qiao Mu drew his sword immediately.
The weapon he was best at was the spear, but public constables usually carried knives or swords, and since he was in the city, the spear was too conspicuous, so he switched to a sword.
Even so, his strength is far beyond that of these gang members.
Under the moonlight, the long sword in his hand shone brightly, and every time he swung the sword, a gang member would fall to the ground.
The sword technique that Qiao Mu is using now is the "Shadow Sword Technique" of Guo Yan, the former lord of Yancheng.
In the past, Guo Yan used this sword technique to suppress Qiao Mu, who was proficient in military spearmanship, in a one-on-one match, which left a deep impression on Qiao Mu.
This sword technique is complex and varied, and when it is performed, the long sword moves like ripples on water.
"You're not even qualified to let me use the Heavenly Demon Disintegration."
Qiao Mu took the lead, fighting at the front of the crowd and breaking through alone.
Captain Qian and other detectives followed behind and fought together with the gang members.
The strength of these gang members is not very strong, and the limited number of eighth and ninth rank warriors are all targeted by Qiao Mu.
Often, before they could even display their martial arts, they were crushed by Qiao Mu's internal energy.
Not long after, Qiao Mu arrived in front of the courtyard gate and kicked it open with force!
There was a loud bang.
The scene in the courtyard also appeared in front of Qiao Mu.
"Captain Qiao?"
The Immortal Mingyue was descending on a paper crane. She put the shrunken paper crane into her arms and looked down at him coldly.
"You guys are a little late, and so am I."
She turned her head and looked at the body lying in a pool of blood in the courtyard.
The corpse of this middle-aged warrior was a horrible sight, with his belly ripped open by sharp claws and disemboweled, showing obvious signs of being gnawing at by some ferocious beast.
