Qing'an County is located in the southwest region of the Nanli Kingdom. The county has a population of only tens of thousands, but far away from wars and natural disasters, the people's lives have been quite peaceful in recent years.
However, the tragedy that happened in Wangchun Tower instantly broke the tranquility of the county and triggered a storm.
When Qing'an County's head catcher Sun Huai'an led several detectives to the scene of the crime, the scene in the private room made this experienced veteran stunned.
Fortunately, he was well-informed and did not lose his composure even if his mind was severely impacted.
On the one hand, the catcher sent someone to report to the Yamen, and on the other hand, he blocked Wangchun Tower and no longer allowed anyone to enter or exit.
But the news cannot be blocked, because before Sun Huai'an rushed over, many people had already seen the crime scene.
Cao Jin'an's identity cannot be hidden at all.
So the news spread quickly throughout the city as if it had wings. When Cangshui Gang leader Cao Xiong led people to Wangchun Tower, Qing'an County's county magistrate Yu Heqian and county magistrate Ye Xiangming were already here.
Despite the overwhelming anger and grief in his heart, Cao Xiong, who had always been unruly, did not dare to make a mistake when faced with the two giants of Qing'an County. Xiongmu saluted with tears in his eyes. "This child has suffered such misfortune, please ask these two adults to seek justice."
The Cangshui Gang leader had already seen Cao Jin'an lying on the ground with his eyes open and his face distorted, making Cao Xiong clenched his fists involuntarily.
Cao Jin'an is not the only son of Cao Xiong, but he is the most favored by him and has high hopes for him.
He ended up dying here.
Qing'an County made Yu Heqian's face sinking, and he nodded and replied, "Gang Leader Cao, please express my condolences. I have ordered the county government to quickly trace the clues. We must catch the murderer as soon as possible and give you justice!"
Yu Heqian has been the county magistrate of Qing'an County for seven years. His ability to remain firmly in the position of county magistrate is inseparable from the support of Cao Xiong, so this promise is not empty talk.
Cao Xiong cried, "Thank you, sir."
At this time, the man who was inspecting the scene had completed a preliminary inspection and reported, "Sir, based on the witnesses' testimonies and the villain's inspection, the thirteen victims here did not have any external injuries on their bodies and were directly killed."
"Although they were all bleeding from their orifices and foaming at the mouth, the presence of poison could not be detected. It is suspected that they were harmed by extremely high martial arts skills, or..."
He hesitated for a moment and hesitated to speak.
Yu Heqian frowned and shouted, "Say!"
Wu Zuo was startled. "Or maybe it's the Immortal Family's trick."
He said the last four words carefully, lowering his voice unconsciously.
Immortal methods!
County Magistrate Yu Heqian, County Magistrate Ye Xiangming, and Cao Xiong all changed their expressions.
Mountain Sea Realm is divided into Cultivation World and Mortal World. For hundreds of millions of mortals like Mortal World, the existence of immortal cultivators is not a secret at all, and there are countless seekers of immortality.
As the middle and upper class among mortals, they know more about Cultivation World and the monks.
So it is clear what it means for a cultivator to appear in the mortal world.
But Qing'an County is a "remote" place. How could a monk come here to kill people?
Yu Heqian and Ye Xiangming looked at each other. The former thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "If you continue to check, you must determine the cause of death. You must not make any mistakes."
This County Magistrate regretted what he just said to Cao Xiong.
If the culprit is really a cultivator, then there is no hope of seeking justice. He, the county magistrate, is nothing in front of the cultivators. He is also a character who can be easily crushed to death.
"Yes."
Wuzuo also knew that the matter was of great importance, so he lowered his head and said, "Then the body must be returned to the Yamen. It cannot be buried for the time being."
Yu Heqian understood what Zuo Zuo meant and looked at Cao Xiong.
After all, the person who died was the other person's biological son.
Cao Xiong's face turned pale. "But it's up to you to decide!"
Most of his anger has been reduced by now, and his reason has completely overwhelmed his emotions.
The murderer has such a weird killing method, no matter he is a martial arts master or an immortal cultivator, Cao Xiong is not something that a mere county gang leader can deal with.
In case the other party is annoyed by the investigation, then target Cao Xiong himself.
Can he bear it?
Cao Xiong didn't have the slightest certainty, and even had a hint of fear.
But the problem is that if he gives up the investigation and is unwilling to say anything, where will the face of his Cangshui Gang leader be put?
Cao Xiong felt extremely conflicted, and even showed some thoughts on his face.
Yu Heqian observed his words and knew the big gang leader's concerns, so he couldn't help but sigh and said, "Then let's do this for now."
Cao Xiong doesn't dare to mess with him, how dare he, a small county magistrate?
That's all!
No matter how conflicted the parties involved were, after the news spread that Cao Jin'an, the son of the Cangshui Gang leader, and more than a dozen gang members were killed in Wangyue Tower, many Qing'an County local people secretly applauded.
Because Cao Jin'an exists like a street tiger in the county. Relying on Cangshui Gang's power and relationship with the government, he has always been unscrupulous, often bullying the common people, and making people dare to be angry but dare not speak out.
Now Cao Jin'an died in Wangyue Tower, and everyone said this was retribution.
I don't know which hero saw injustice on the road, but Make a Move eradicated one of the three evils of Qing'an County, which is simply justice from heaven.
Some people even secretly enshrined the tablet of this unknown hero!
The aftermath of Cao Jin'an's murder lasted for a month or two on Qing'an County Town.
And then gradually forgotten.
During this period of time, the gang members of Cangshui Gang clamped their tails tightly. The gang station was heavily guarded, and the security in the county was also improved a lot.
As for the real murderer, he has never been found, even though the government issued a reward notice soliciting clues.
But this hero seems to have disappeared from the world, and there is no more Make a Move.
Cao Xiong, who suffered a great loss after the death of his son, lives in seclusion and no longer mentions anything about Cao Jin'an, as if he has acquiesced.
In the blink of an eye, the New Year is here again, and Qing'an County, which has been quiet for a while, becomes lively again.
People from all over the country came to the county town to buy New Year goods. Many traveling merchants came from land and water. The streets and alleys in the city were full of shouts with local accents.
And just before the arrival of the New Year, Wang Chen, who had been exchanging letters with Ye Dai for several months, officially asked Upper Sect, the matchmaker, to marry this young lady Ye Clan.
Speaking of their life experiences, they have some similarities. Wang Chen has no relatives, and although Ye Dai has a biological father, the identity of the county magistrate Ye Xiangming is too sensitive to come forward directly. Therefore, the process of accepting, asking for names, accepting, and accepting is greatly simplified.
The engagement and appointment were very low-key, and then they waited for the wedding day to arrive.
For Wang Chen, this is undoubtedly a new but necessary life experience.
He is going to be the groom!
