It's just that she has been a head constable for many years, and finally met a man who seemed to be unafraid of power, and was even more outspoken and decisive than her, so she couldn't help but have more expectations in her heart...
She looked a little depressed and a little tired:
"In that case, you should go back too."
"You don't have to worry about this case anymore. Go back and have a rest."
Qiao Mu frowned, looking disappointed:
"Are you going to continue investigating?"
"Of course we have to check." Chen Yingxue's expression turned slightly cold, and she said seriously:
"Not everyone in this world is like you, decisive in small matters but careful in big ones."
"In the great Yan state, no matter how dark the world is, there are always people with conscience and justice in their hearts... even if they can't accomplish anything."
Qiao Mu listened quietly, and the expression on his face gradually became colder, just like Chen Yingxue's, and finally became expressionless.
"Woman, don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit."
As soon as the words fell.
He moved and rushed to Chen Yingxue, slashing at the back of her neck with his hand.
"You----" Chen Yingxue's eyes were filled with shock and anger.
She had never thought that this man, Qiao, would dare to attack her in the government office, and his skills were beyond her imagination...
Before she could figure out what was going on, Qiao Mu knocked her unconscious with a knife and her body collapsed to the ground.
Qiao Mu looked down at her expressionlessly.
You bitch, you took all my time talking to me, and now you dare to snatch this job that will get you killed
Take a rest.
Qiao Mu picked up the completed document on the desk, and also picked up the cloth bag containing tiger and cat hair. He took out a few tiger hairs from the bag, put them on his body, and went out.
As a true government official, Chief Constable Chen thinks of reporting to his superiors when something happens.
In Qiumu's opinion, this is still a little naive.
He had met a high-ranking official named Guo in Yancheng before... and later this man became his sworn brother.
"Reporting to higher authorities? It's correct to handle ordinary cases this way."
"But this kind of case will probably be suppressed halfway."
"Even if it really gets to Magistrate Lou, it may not be a good thing. After all, his last name is Lou."
As he was thinking this, Qiao Mu had already walked out of the yamen.
"Captain Qiao, are you busy so late?" A night shift runner greeted Qiao Mu with a smile.
Everyone in this yamen knew that the recently appointed Qiao Pifu was a strange man with a powerful background and was not comparable to an ordinary captain of the police, so he also greeted him warmly.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Mu saw him and walked straight towards him.
"Do me a small favor."
"After daybreak, half an hour later, you will take all these things to the residence of Mr. Shen Qinghe in the west of the city on my behalf, and tell him that I, Qiao Pifu, have something important to tell you."
"Remember, don't go too early. You have to go half an hour after daybreak."
After Qiao Mu finished speaking, he handed some change to the night shift yamen runner.
Shen Qinghe is a seventh-rank prosecutor. Logically speaking, if Chief Constable Chen reports the case to higher authorities, the case document she wrote should be delivered to Shen Qinghe.
Qiao Mu skipped the middle steps and submitted it directly to the seventh-rank official Shen Qinghe to avoid any trouble.
As for Shen Qinghe... Qiao Mu actually didn't know much about him.
But Qiao Mu was able to get out of prison safely after he made irresponsible remarks about state affairs before... What kind of background does Qiao Mu have? If there is any, maybe it was Shen Qinghe, a seventh-rank official, who helped him get out of prison behind the scenes
Qiao Mu felt that Shen Qinghe must be no simple person, as he was able to get Qiao Mu out of jail for discussing state affairs and slandering the emperor... So he did so this time.
This is not to drag Shen Qinghe into the water, but to leave a backup. After all, there is someone in the government who knows the truth, so as to prevent Qiao Mu from being stigmatized after his death.
After dawn, Qiao Mu prepared to go to Xuantian Temple in the north of the city alone.
Half an hour after dawn, when Shen Qinghe received the documents and animal hair evidence, Qiao Mu should be dead.
"It's settled."
After careful consideration, Qiao Mu returned to the house he rented in the west of the city, closed his eyes and rested, gathering his strength.
He searched the entire city to investigate the case in the first half of the night, and discussed the case in the second half. He had to be in good spirits before he could take action.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already dawn.
Qiao Mu put on the constable's white clothes, took his sword, and the animal hair he had taken out earlier. He was fully prepared.
Before leaving the house, he did not forget to take a look at the almanac.
"Today is the fifteenth."
"It is advisable to burn incense and worship the gods."
When Qiao Mu went out, the sky was just beginning to brighten and there were not many people on the street.
Walking all the way from the west to the north of the city, there were gradually more and more pedestrians passing by.
Xuantian Temple is located at the foot of a small hill in the north of the city. It was rebuilt from the former Qiao Family Courtyard. The mountain behind it is the residence of the sect’s disciples.
"The former Qiao Family Courtyard in Heyang?"
After so many days in Heyang City, this was the first time he arrived at the gate of Xuantian Temple.
Just as I was about to get closer, I heard a meow and felt my footsteps become heavy.
When he looked down, he saw that the calico cat had appeared silently at his feet and was now holding his trouser leg in its mouth.
As Qiaomu took a step forward, it put its four paws on the ground and was dragged along by Qiaomu's steps.
"I just arrived and I met Wu Chang? It's a good start, very auspicious."
"But this Impermanence Demon Cat does have something special. I didn't even notice when it appeared."
Qiao Mu looked down at the little cat at his feet.
This demon cat has no obvious difference in appearance from an ordinary cat, but it always looks a little weird...
The stronger the death energy, the more excited and happy it became. At this moment, the dense death energy that was imperceptible to the naked eye was being inhaled into its mouth and nose, causing all the hair on its body to stretch out and have an inexplicable luster.
But the excessive amount of death energy also made its limbs a little limp and weak.
Otherwise, as a monster, it would not be led by Qiao Mu's steps like an ordinary kitten.
Qiao Mu continued to move forward, and with every step he took towards Xuantian Temple, the cat became more limp and powerless.
Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. There are slightly more pilgrims coming to Xuantian Temple to burn incense and worship gods than usual. People come and go in an endless stream.
Qiao Mu was also in the crowd, but just as he reached the entrance of the Taoist temple, he was stopped by a young Taoist priest at the door.
"A police constable? You've come to the wrong place, right?" the young Taoist said calmly.
"This is the Xuantian Sect's garrison. Officials are not allowed to trespass here, let alone bring in swords."
"Okay." Qiao Mu said as he drew out his sword, shocking the young Taoist so much that his eyes widened.
"What do you want to do? Didn't you hear me? This is Xuantian Temple, don't be so presumptuous."
The commotion at the entrance of the Taoist temple has attracted some people's attention, and some Taoist monks began to walk towards this side in the distance.
Heyang Prefecture City is the largest city in the vicinity, and the Xuantian Temple in the city is related to incense, which is naturally no trivial matter.
Qiao Mu pointed at the many pilgrims passing by and asked:
“These pilgrims can enter, but I can’t?”
He wants to die with dignity and have a legitimate reason.

PS: I would like to recommend this book.
Introduction:
This is a world composed of Honkai Impact 3rd, Genshin Impact, and various anime games.
There is no paradise on earth, no stories about the three great families, no meteors in the sky or eternal flames, and Otto is no longer the Bishop of Destiny. He is just a young boy with little money.
When he awakened God System 9527, he chose the Starry Mark.
The picture of the Ruler of Man was painted and posted on the Internet in the form of memory, emotion, and dreams painted by stars.
"Wow! This is so pretty!"
"I declare that this is my wife!"
"By the way, has the author ever considered developing this IP? It's so good, or writing a story or something."
Write a story
It was as if the door to a certain world had been opened. One night, a white-haired ball of Paramecium jumped off a battleship.
After a long, long time, people finally realized what the fear dominated by the knife was!
While Otto was creating, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Tianming now sincerely invites you, Mr. Otto, to join Tianming!"
Chapter 76 I am a common man in the Qiao family (5k)
“These pilgrims can enter, but I can’t?”
The young Taoist priest at the entrance of the Taoist temple heard this and said impatiently:
"It is precisely because you are a government official that you cannot enter."
Having said that, the small commotion at the door has attracted the attention of the people around.
Other Taoists from the temple came over with frowns on their faces, and pilgrims who came to watch the fun gradually approached.
"Police constable, why can't you come in?" Qiao Mu glanced at the other people who were watching, and his voice became louder:
"I am a public constable, an enforcer of the laws of Great Yan. Isn't this the Heyang Prefecture City under the jurisdiction of Great Yan? Why can't I enter?"
What was a little unexpected to him was...
After hearing this, there was no obvious surprise on the faces of the people, nor any expression of approval, and a few pilgrims even frowned, obviously disagreeing with what he said.
The Xuantian Sect had only been in Heyang City for half a year.
But these people seem to have become accustomed to the existence of these immortals from the Xuantian Sect.
This is different from what Qiao Mu did before when he stood up against the city lord and his family in Yancheng.
The city lord at that time, Guo Yan, was quite famous. Although the people of Yancheng did not speak, they always knew what was right and what was wrong in their hearts.
But it’s different now.
What Qiao Mu is facing at this moment is the Immortal Gate, the immortals who are untainted by the mundane world in the eyes of the world.
The Taoists at the gate of the Taoist temple just thought it was funny when they heard it.
"You, Constable, are you pretending to be ignorant when you know the truth?" A Taoist said with a smile:
"Da Yan's laws belong to Da Yan, and this is the residence of the Immortal Sect."
"What does the law of mortals have to do with the immortal sect?"
Speaking of this, the faces of these Taoists also revealed a kind of superiority that could not be concealed.
Naturally, they were once people of the Great Yan Dynasty, but now that they had entered the Xuantian Temple and put on Taoist robes, they had transformed themselves into people of the immortal sect.
Even if he is just a servant guarding the gate of this Taoist temple and cannot be considered a true disciple of the immortal sect, he is still superior to the people of Dayan.
Qiao Mu said calmly, "What if the immortal cultivators of the immortal sect are suspected of taking human lives lightly, letting beasts commit crimes, and committing multiple murders in the city?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the Taoists all darkened.
Just as he was about to scold, a young female cultivator walked out from a distance, also attracted by the small commotion.
"What happened?" asked the female cultivator.
