Right, we can check the case files from that period! If the ghosts in these Netherworld Grounds like gathering around Fengshui Bridge because the people behind this are nearby, that shouldn't be the only change they've caused. There might have been other abnormalities that prompted someone to report them to the authorities... After hearing Zheng Zhuxi's words, Ding Songyan suddenly felt his thinking open up.

Senior Sister, you're clever even when you're not drunk!

If the people behind this had done nothing and simply stayed quietly in the area, they wouldn't have caused any problems. But since they're plotting something, they can't truly have done nothing. Either my resurrection in someone else's body or Master Yan's soul-destroying Netherworld Lightning must have been their doing, perhaps both. At the time, they would inevitably have affected the Netherworld Grounds, with the effects spilling out as abnormalities!

"Right, check the case files! Why didn't I think of that?" Rather than conceal his admiration and appreciation for Zheng Zhuxi, Ding Songyan played them up.

The corners of Zheng Zhuxi's mouth lifted, and her gaze turned toward Fengshui Bridge.

"Although I haven't formally ventured into the martial world yet, I've come to the prefectural city eight or nine times to assist with patrol duties and handled quite a few matters. I do have some experience with things like this."

Ding Songyan naturally didn't stint on praise. Complimenting people and showering them with flattery were required courses for any seasoned entrepreneur.

Zheng Zhuxi's smile never faded as she led Ding Songyan all the way to the County Yamen.

She told her junior brother:

"Wait here for me. I'll go find Senior Sister Xue. Neither of us is on the list for this round of patrol assistance, so technically, we're not authorized to examine the case files.
