Cold Clouds

Chapter 365: The Red-Cloaked Female Ghost Murder Case

In a small town, a woman with long straight black hair that reached her hips and was wearing a blue robe, her pair of bright golden pupils looking around, a man with a light golden ponytail followed beside her with his arms crossed and holding a sword, not saying a word.

"There's nothing fun here," the long-haired woman was Lin Xiaoxiao, who had changed her appearance again, and the ponytailed man was Song Hanyun, "Hey, there's roast duck, let's go, let's go..."

Lin Xiaoxiao and Song Hanyun's main task is to control the Human-Faced Fairy Peach Tree and the Demon-Suppressing Tower. These two cannot be moved. The few treasures that were not taken by Luo Tianhe, except for the Nine Treasures Heavenly Net Umbrella and the Heaven and Earth Marrow that were not found, and the uncontrollable Hongmeng Qi, have basically been controlled by Ding Cun's people.

The Red Glaze Heart Arithmetic is a natural magical power. The Red Glaze Heart cultivator in this life has been brought back to the palace by Ding Cun. The Ten Thousand Demon Hearts are also safe in the Demon Federation. The rest are either in Ding Cun's hands or in Lin Xiaoxiao's hands.

When I find a chance, I will dig up the grave of the mother sea snake and refine it, and eat it with peace of mind.

But in fact, the additional task is to observe the signs of evil cultivator activities in various places, because Luo Tianhe's actions have also mobilized many evil cultivators, and extreme incidents have occurred in various places.

For example, there was an attempt to sacrifice an entire city of mortals, killing people for fun, and many other heinous crimes. Although most of them were prevented in time, there were still some losses. One of the areas with the most problems was the southwest part of Ding Cun's area, including the Demon-Suppressing Tower and the Human-Faced Fairy Peach Tree.

After the previous battle, Lin Xiaoxiao lay in the valley, and a lot of her willpower was dissipated. It should be about one ten-thousandth left, about 90,000 willpower. She asked Ding Cun to give each city lord an exquisitely carved statue of Lin Xiaoxiao. As long as they were placed in the city lord's mansion, she could see the situation of every city in an area, but it consumed her mental energy.

But it doesn't matter. Mental power can be restored by taking more pills. Moreover, her mental power consumption and recovery are basically the same. If it doesn't work, she can just disconnect and rest in the soul space for a few days.

In short, she can basically see what is happening in this area at the moment, and she tries to behave as normally and calmly as possible.

So this roast duck is really delicious, right? Lin Xiaoxiao took a bite of the duck leg, holding the roast duck in her pocket, chewing as she walked. Song Hanyun, who was standing next to her, also took a duck leg and ate it at Lin Xiaoxiao's invitation.

Lin Xiaoxiao and Song Hanyun came all the way here from a city near the royal city, at least that's what it looked like.

If they encountered evil cultivators causing trouble along the way, Lin Xiaoxiao and Song Hanyun would change into the mass-produced standard armor with shielding spells given by Ding Cun, and after removing their disguises, they would go together with the law enforcement department in the city.

Lin Xiaoxiao is now very adept at this disguise. It takes her less than a day, only an hour to restore the disguise. The same is true for Song Hanyun.

The two of them are obviously in the Mahayana stage. Once they take action, the evil cultivator will have no chance of escaping. Those who can escape can go to Luo Tianhe to apply to become one of the "Ten Generals".

If you say that there are no strong ones among these evil cultivators here, Lin Xiaoxiao doesn't believe it, but it will definitely not be easy for strong ones to be comparable to the "Nine Generals", or even none at all. After all, as far as we can see now, the strength of those nine is already the best in the Mahayana period.

To be honest, the guys we dealt with along the way were not very good. They were all ordinary people in the fusion stage and had no intelligence information. They were just taking advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble.

How should I put it, it's just...very boring.

Lin Xiaoxiao sighed, asked the waiter for a private room, ordered a pot of water-leaf tea and two plates of pastries, and went up to the second-floor private room with Song Hanyun to look at the street outside through the window.

People come and go, just like in an ordinary city.

The waiter brought a plate of osmanthus cake and a plate of hawthorn cake, and Lin Xiaoxiao ate while looking outside.

"Hi... um..." Lin Xiaoxiao took a sip of water leaf tea. This spiritual plant called "water leaf" has the effect of nourishing mental strength, and it tastes good when used to make tea.

"I feel like there's no problem here either." It's been the second day since Lin Xiaoxiao and Song Hanyun arrived in this small town called "Thunder City". They only stay in a city for three days, and will stay longer if something happens.

"Indeed," Song Hanyun also took a sip of the water leaf tea, picked up a piece of hawthorn cake and put it into his mouth, swallowing it after a while, "It's a good thing, nothing unusual happened, peace is good."

That's right. Lin Xiaoxiao nodded. She couldn't stand it every time. It was nice to relax occasionally.

What’s more, it’s a public travel.

"Ah ...

The woman cried and screamed, trying to stop the law enforcement members: "My husband was still alive last night. We had an argument and slept in separate rooms. Who knew...how could this happen...ahhhhhh..."

Lin Xiaoxiao and Song Hanyun looked at each other and silently put on the standard armor of the Law Enforcement Department.

"Waiter, check out!"

This is the end of the routine.

Lin Xiaoxiao and Song Hanyun rushed to the law enforcement member and the crying woman. The law enforcement member looked at them with some confusion, but Lin Xiaoxiao moved her mind and sent a message to him, and he knew the identities of Lin Xiaoxiao and Song Hanyun.

"Ahhhhhhh..." The woman was still crying. The man's body was taken over by the law enforcement department for investigation. Lin Xiaoxiao came over to ask the woman if she felt anything strange before the murder.

"Strange...strange things...nothing...everything is the same as usual...ah, there is one," the woman recalled. "He used to be very gentle, but...but recently he seems to have become a different person, becoming increasingly cold and distant towards me, as if...as if he doesn't love me anymore. In the end we had a fight and he moved to the guest room to sleep...and then..."

So that's how it is... Lin Xiaoxiao nodded and looked at Song Hanyun.

……

Back in the room, Lin Xiaoxiao lay on the bed and said, "If what that woman said is true, her temperament has changed drastically. She must have been cursed or possessed by a ghost."

"The law enforcement department found no signs of curses or poison," Song Hanyun continued, following up on Lin Xiaoxiao's words. "It's most likely a ghost. Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that it was someone like Bai Qiansheng whose methods are impossible to detect. We have to wait for news from the law enforcement department."

"Well, that's possible, but I don't think someone with such ability would be so idle." Lin Xiaoxiao said.

After a while, new news came from the law enforcement department.

"Was it really done by a ghost? There are signs that the man's yang energy has been drained from his body. Very good, this is relatively easy to solve," Lin Xiaoxiao nodded, "Let's call it the Red-clothed Female Ghost Murder Case."

Song Hanyun tilted his head: "Why is it a female ghost in red?"

"I often see this in storybooks."
