Chapter 312: The fox demon’s heart is revealed, this beauty trap belongs to me!
"How do you tell if he is the Thief Saint?" Jiang Ningshuang didn't dare to relax. The Thief Saint was proficient in disguise and ordinary people couldn't tell at all.
Lu Zhan didn't say anything. He reached out and patted Jiang Jiang's butt, signaling her not to worry.
duangduang～
A slight vibration sounded in the night. Jiang Ningshuang bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth and shyly tried to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Her usual underwear is very revealing and conservative, so her reaction would not be so exaggerated when being photographed.
It’s not like now... With the added effect of the triangle, Lu Zhan just slapped it lightly and felt a strong vibration.
"Hate……"
Jiang Ningshuang pushed Lu Zhan's palm away and quietly kicked him.
Lu Zhan avoided her attack and looked in the direction of Chen Beifang.
The thief might shave his head on purpose, but he would never glide to the ground in such a childish posture.
Lu Zhan looked at it intently: "What's going on?"
The people in the remote mountain villages did not report to the Demon Suppression Bureau, perhaps because the Demon Suppression Bureau did not care, or they were afraid to report it easily.
The female ghost did not dare to stand up, but crawled on the ground and cried: "I am from Lu'an Town near Bianjing City..."
"Stand up and speak." Jiang Ningshuang said with a stern face: "Who are you and who are you suing?"
Jiang Ningshuang was a little wary at first, but when she saw the woman kneeling as soon as she was told to and with a sad look on her face, she softened her heart a little.
Chen Bei put the ball on the ground and bowed, then took out the jar of wine from his back.
Bianjing was the imperial city, and the people lived at the foot of the imperial city, so they had a strong sense of vigilance against monsters.
Chen Beifang was very fast and arrived almost instantly. He leaned forward slightly, put his arms in a running posture, and glided to the ground in a posture that he thought was very handsome.
“Lu Zhan…” The female ghost repeated Lu Zhan’s name softly. Her dead eyes suddenly lit up, and she knelt down on the ground: “I have a lawsuit to file. I beg you to seek justice for me.”
Although cultivators with some money nowadays will use storage rings...but the devil is always one step ahead of the good. Even if you use a storage ring, the thief will still have a way to steal things from the ring.
Before Wenqin died, she had a breath of resentment stuck in her throat and became a wandering ghost. She then wanted to find the Demon Suppression Bureau to file a complaint and seek revenge.
But now that the Thief Saint was involved, Chen Beifang was afraid that something was up, so he quickly brought the female ghost to Lu Zhan to see.
The black mouth of the altar was sealed with true Qi, and waves of Yin Qi spread from the altar. The altar body trembled slightly, and a slender figure in white emerged, with a female ghost inside.
“Yes.” Lu Zhan sat on the stool: “I am Lu Zhan from the Demon Suppression Division.”
But those present were all practitioners, and had seen many demons and ghosts, so they were not afraid.
"Yes, sir." Chen Beifang hesitated for a moment and then opened the bottle.
In the dark night, Chen Bei's wig flew up, revealing half of his bald head.
For example, they could disguise themselves as acquaintances and approach someone, then steal things quietly.
Wenqin lowered her head, a little shy: "No, the monster only killed me... and my body was abandoned in the wilderness, and my family never knew about it."
Chen Beifang stretched out his hand to straighten the wig, combing it smooth in no time. He said, "Just now, when I was patrolling outside, I saw a sneaky female ghost. The female ghost said she had a grievance to avenge, so I brought her here."
Moreover, the posture is extremely smooth, and it can be seen that it is done frequently. A newbie would not be able to master the essence of it.
Wenqin was kindhearted, so she let the girl get on the carriage. However, the girl turned out to be a monster. After gaining Wenqin's trust, she ripped out her heart and killed her.
"So that's how it is..." Lu Zhan seemed to be thinking, "Since all your followers and servants were killed, it is obvious that such deaths were caused by monsters. Why didn't your family report it?"
Lu Zhan raised his eyebrows: "This is definitely not the Thief Saint."
However, such incidents rarely occurred in Bianjing. The people of Bianjing had a high sense of vigilance and would definitely report any unusual incidents. In fact, many enthusiastic people had helped the authorities solve cases and catch fugitives more than once.
The female ghost trapped inside appeared as a wisp of white mist. She was thin and her face was as pale as paper. She was half exposed in the night, and her white skirt whistled in the wind, looking a bit weird.
The female ghost came here to file a complaint. She had already memorized the words of the complaint by heart, and she quickly explained the matter clearly.
Normally there is no need to go through so much trouble, Chen Beifang can handle it himself.
The Thief Saint has superb stealing skills, which are not based on brute force, but more on technique.
"You two are too nervous. The more nervous you are, the more likely it is that something will go wrong." Lu Zhan soothed them, "Don't be nervous. Open it and see first."
Chen Beifang hesitated a little: "Director, could this female ghost be the Thief Saint in disguise..."
"Half a month ago, I went to burn incense and fulfill a vow. I was too playful when I came down the mountain, so it was dark when I returned home. When I passed by a plum forest, I heard a woman crying for help, so I asked the servants to go and take a look..."
It’s a pity that it’s not easy for wandering ghosts to enter the city, as they would be beaten to death at any time. That’s why Wenqin hid here and there, fearing that she would be beaten to death before she could file a complaint.
“Let it out and see.” Lu Zhan did not expect such an unexpected gain.
The girl was extremely pretty and frail. She pretended that she had sprained her ankle and wanted a ride.
The servant saw a girl among the snow-covered red plums in the moonlight.
"Whose good person can disguise himself as a female ghost?" Jiang Ningshuang thought this possibility was very small. She said, "This female ghost is definitely not the Thief Saint, but what if it is a trick performed by the Thief Saint?"
The female ghost was not afraid, but asked in a trembling voice: "Are you a master from the Demon Suppression Bureau?"
"I am here to see the Director!"
The woman's name was Wenqin. She was originally from Bian Jing and lived in a small town on the edge of the city. She led a wealthy and healthy life. Her parents had just arranged a marriage for her. Her life was going smoothly and comfortably until one night half a month ago, when she suddenly encountered a monster.
"Hmm?" Jiang Ningshuang sensed something fishy: "You said you were killed on your way home, but your servants knew nothing about it?"
Wenqin was a little embarrassed and stammered, "Actually... Actually, I didn't like men when I was alive. Instead, I liked women. When the monster got on the car, I was mesmerized by her beauty and inevitably got closer to her."
"When the carriage was halfway there, the woman suddenly said she wanted to go to the bathroom, but it was inconvenient for a man to support her, so I followed her. Unexpectedly, as soon as we entered the depths of the woods, the monster revealed its ferocious appearance, abducted me to a valley, and killed me by ripping out my heart."
"I once tried to resist marriage and eloped with a woman... I was afraid that my parents would think I was repeating the same old trick and eloping with someone again, so I didn't report it for the sake of family reputation."
As the female ghost spoke, her voice became smaller and smaller.
In this era, this kind of thing can be considered heresy. Although some nobles have this hobby in private, they will never bring it up in public.
No wonder the female ghost covered it up at first; this matter was indeed difficult to talk about.
"I didn't expect things to be like this, but could it be that the monster is also lustful? He actually seduced women?" Jiang Ningshuang's little head began to spin rapidly.
Wenqin shook her head: "It must be a coincidence that the evildoer met me... After I became a ghost, I wandered around and encountered other lonely ghosts who were killed. They were all men."
"Where are those ghosts?" Lu Zhan asked.
Wenqin sighed, "It was originally a ghost because of its resentment. If there is no opportunity, its soul will soon be gone. Now I am the only one left. I am struggling to come to the Demon Suppression Bureau to file a complaint... Please help us!"
Lu Zhan didn't say anything, but suddenly stretched out his hand and waved in front of Wen Qin.
The purple light was hazy and enveloped Wenqin.
Ecstasy!
If it were any other time, Lu Zhan wouldn't have gone through so much trouble, but now that the Thief Saint was roaming around in Bian Jing, although he wasn't too nervous, he still had to act with caution.
He asked again using the spell of bewitching, and after confirming that Wen Qin was not lying, Lu Zhan withdrew his magical power: "We will investigate this matter thoroughly, don't worry."
"Thank you, sir!" Wenqin had no idea what had just happened and kowtowed quickly.
Lu Zhan seemed to be thinking about something.
Monsters dig out hearts just for the sake of cultivation, but once they use human flesh and blood to cultivate, they can't stop.
The monster will definitely come out again.
As long as there is bait, it shouldn't be difficult to find the monster.
"Master." At this time, Xiaobai's voice came.
Xiaobai was originally sleeping, but there was too much noise in the yard just now, so she was woken up and came over yawning.
When they got closer, Xiaobai stared at Wenqin and asked in surprise, "Were you killed by the fox demon?"
Wenqin originally wanted to answer "I don't know", but when she saw the big furry tail behind Xiaobai, her face immediately changed.
Although she is a ghost now, she still maintains the habits she had when she was alive.
She is afraid of monsters!
"Don't be afraid, she's my friend." Lu Zhan waved at Xiao Bai, "Xiao Bai, you just said she was killed by a fox demon?"
Xiaobai walked up to Lu Zhan, half-knelt in front of him obediently, and looked up and said:
"Yes! I learned this from a sister in Posha Forest. My sister said that every fox will leave a scent after harming someone, and we can smell that scent."
Wenqin looked at Xiaobai's well-behaved and obedient appearance, and her heart gradually relaxed. She didn't expect that the monster that harmed her was actually a fox demon.
On second thought, it should be a fox demon.
If it wasn't a fox demon, how could it be so confusing?
"Xiaobai, can you track the other party's breath?" Lu Zhan asked. People of the same kind often understand each other better.
Xiaobai shook his tail and said, "I can roughly sense it, but I can't track down the specific location. Baibai's cultivation is not enough."
"That's enough." Lu Zhan thought, "The end of the year is approaching, and there is a monster in Bianjing City that is stealing people's hearts. We must arrest it as soon as possible. The other party steals the heart just for cultivation. We just need to let Xiaobai track down the approximate location and find a bait that is both handsome and intelligent to lure it out."
Chen Beifang's face lit up: "Isn't this talking about me..."
"..."
Lu Zhan looked at Chen Beifang and felt that his subordinate was overthinking.
Jiang Ningshuang took Lu Zhan's arm and asked, "You don't want to go in person, do you?"
There is already a vixen in the house, and Jiang Ningshuang always feels unsafe if Lu Zhan is asked to use his beauty trap on the vixen.
"No." Lu Zhan shook his head seriously: "I'm too handsome, not suitable."
"..."
Jiang Ningshuang agreed with this deeply.
Chen Beifang took the opportunity to express: "Sir, please leave this matter to me. Please rest assured that I will complete it beautifully."
Such cases are not uncommon, so why would the director need to take personal action?
Considering that he still had his soul to take care of, Lu Zhan said, "I always do things myself. I will catch this monster, but I need to find a suitable person to act as bait."
Chen Beifang volunteered: "Then I will be the bait!"
"You can not."
"Ah?" Chen Beifang was startled and subconsciously defended himself: "I'm good at it."
Lu Zhan said in a gloomy voice: "People from the Demon Suppression Bureau have killed demons before. Even if you change your appearance, the blood in your body cannot be concealed. You are not the best choice."
This is like going undercover in a demon cult. You must find someone with a similar temperament to the cult... If you find someone who is righteous, will that be appropriate?
Martial artists are naturally full of rage, and demon-suppressing masters walk on the edge of a knife all year round, so the energy in their bodies cannot be concealed at all.
It can be said that his whole body is full of the flavor of a demon-suppressor.
As long as the monster is not stupid, it will not choose such a dangerous person to attack.
"What should we do?" Chen Beifang said regretfully, "Logically speaking, my appearance is the most suitable for being a bait."
"..."
Lu Zhan already had a suitable candidate in mind, and said, "You don't have to worry about this matter. Since the Thief Saint is not coming, we will get busy with business. We can't delay our main work because of the Thief Saint."
After all, those gold bars are in his storage ring. If the thief wants to steal those gold bars, he must get close to him.
This means... Lu Zhan is a walking trap for the thief saint.
Of course… the Thief Saint might not come, maybe he would just bite his teeth and take the blame? Then we can’t delay the important work.
With this in mind, Lu Zhan said, "You continue patrolling and be ready to be deployed at any time. I will bring the bait over."
Chen Beifang took his men away.
Jiang Ningshuang touched his chin and felt that things were beyond his expectations.
He was originally chasing the thief, but unexpectedly a female ghost showed up and complained.
But we can't just ignore this kind of thing. Compared to the Thief Saint, the fox demon is more important at the moment.
At least the thief saint doesn't harm people...but the fox demon has been harming people all the time.
"There's a fox demon causing trouble. We can't just ignore it, but if we leave, will the Thief Saint come over?" Jiang Ningshuang kicked her calves, her heart was in a mess. The fox demon thing was a bit unexpected.
Lu Zhan patted her head and said, "If you are worried, you can wait at my house. We have already set up defenses around here. Even if he comes, he can't hurt you. Xiaobai and I will go."
"I am willing to go with my master (*≧▽≦)!" Xiaobai narrowed her foxy eyes and rubbed her head against Lu Zhan's arm excitedly.
Jiang Ningshuang's eyelids twitched as she watched. She thought to herself, this vixen dared to treat her man like this in front of her. What would it be like if she didn't do it in front of him?
Moreover, the demon that caused the trouble was a fox spirit. One fox spirit was so charming, what would happen if there was another one?
The matter of the Thief Saint is certainly important, but what Guanqi said is right. Defenses have been deployed all around, and whether she is here or not will not affect the overall situation.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ningshuang pulled Xiaobai away and snorted, "Forget it, I'll just follow you. What can this stupid fox do?"
"Baibai is not stupid." Xiaobai wagged his big tail, "Baibai can sense the approximate location of the fox for you."
"..."
Jiang Ningshuang suddenly missed Queque very much... She used to think Queque was naughty, but now it seems...
Still better is the sparrow.
Queque is brainless and has no idea about love, but she is better than this seductive vixen!
Jiang Ningshuang was so angry that her chest hurt, but she had important things to do now, so she couldn't get angry and just pulled Lu Zhan away.
Xiaobai twisted his waist and said, "Master, wait for me~"
