Becoming a God by Searching Mountains and Subduing Demons

Chapter 199 Murder in the Song

"Sir, I really don't know how he died!"

"That night, I heard some noise and followed them. Strangely enough, they were following each other, but when I arrived, the old one was already dead and the young one was nowhere to be found."

Shopkeeper Qin's legs were shaking, his body became more hunched, and his eyes were filled with fear.

When he was illuminated by the divine eye, he felt as if he had entered a literary hall and faced moral laws directly. He did not dare to tell even a single lie.

Captain Zhou nodded slightly, and in his heart he admired the Inspector Jiang beside him even more. He raised his head and asked in a stern voice: "Why didn't you report it to the police at that time?"

With Jiang Yue in front of him, Shopkeeper Qin had already been frightened into a cold sweat, and now he couldn't even stand steadily. He knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "I was so frightened and terrified at the time that I was afraid of disturbing the business of the inn. I was blinded by lard for a moment. I hope you can forgive me!"

"You bastard, you almost messed up the matter."

Captain Zhou cursed a few times but did not continue to get angry. He just waited for Jiang Yue to make a decision.

After all, the shopkeeper didn't know the seriousness of the matter and thought of them as just two ordinary travelers. He was afraid that their sudden death would have a bad impact on him. Who would have thought that even the people from the Sky Patrol took it so seriously.

Jiang Yue was too lazy to pay attention to these details and continued to ask: "How did the old man die?"

Although the autopsy has already begun, what Manager Qin saw that day was the first scene after all, and perhaps he can infer something from it.

According to Shopkeeper Qin, not much time passed between the time the old man and the young boy left home and the time the old man died.

How could a powerful and marquisate man die on the spot so quickly?

Still in Yunzhou City.

Seeing Jiang Yue asking the question, Shopkeeper Qin did not dare to hesitate and quickly said, "The death was extremely tragic! It was as if he was chopped and pierced by swords, knives, axes and halberds at the same time. The skin and flesh were rotten into a ball, and there was no trace of human form at all."

"I was frightened and didn't dare to speak out for a while, but I never intended to hide anything. I hope you can understand me, my lords."

As he spoke, Shopkeeper Qin raised his eyelids, wanting to observe the expressions of the two Sky Patrol Masters, but he still didn't dare to look directly at Jiang Yue.

Captain Zhou waved his hand, turned his head and looked at Jiang Yue, saying: "It is similar to the results of the investigation within the department. Inspector Jiang, this matter is probably serious."

"The tragic death of a powerful marquis in a short period of time could not be an accident. Perhaps someone had been planning to murder the little kid from the capital."

Jiang Yue knew very well what the other party meant, but he did not respond and just nodded slightly.

Perhaps the root of this case lies not in Yunzhou, but in the struggle above.

Although finding someone is the top priority at the moment and the entire Sky Patrol Department is busy with this, perhaps the final result will not occur in Yunzhou.

But after all, he has been appointed as the inspector, so he still has to follow the necessary procedures.

After questioning several times and confirming that everyone in the inn had the same story, Captain Zhou gave a few instructions and a group of flag officers and detectives spread out again to conduct a full-scale search.

"Inspector Jiang."

"This mission is not easy."

"Not to mention that clues are hard to find, even if we find clues, we are afraid that we will not be able to deal with the person who can kill the powerful marquis in a short period of time."

Seeing that his subordinates had already left, Captain Zhou couldn't help but complain a few words, his dissatisfaction was evident on his face.

After all, anyone who receives such a task would be unable to help but curse.

Jiang Yue also nodded: "Yeah, it's a tough job."

"Let's not talk about this anymore. We still have somewhere to go."

"Oh?"

Captain Zhou was a little confused. Now there was no clue and he had no idea at all. Where else could he go?
"Heavenly Pavilion, listen to music."

Jiang Yue's answer immediately dispelled all his doubts, and he even couldn't help but sigh that he finally met a boss who was relatively humane.

The position of inspector is special. Normally, he is higher than the captain. Now he has a clear mission. During this period of time, Jiang Yue is his immediate superior.

"Master Jiang is indeed extraordinary. There are many guests coming and going upstairs today. It is indeed a good place to learn about the case."

Captain Zhou no longer had a stern face after taking off his official uniform. After entering the building, he had a warm smile on his face and looked approachable. There was no trace of his usual airs.

"Master Zhou, while you are enjoying yourself, don't forget what I just said."

Jiang Yue gave a few instructions, then went to find a seat nearest to the singing stage and sat down with his face covered.

Coming to this place of entertainment is not official business, but considering his and Captain Zhou's positions, it wouldn't be a big deal if it got out. However, Jiang Yue had another purpose for coming this time.

One is to confirm the safety of the Yu family girl, and the other is to find out the specific situation of the director of the drama department. By the way, it can also improve the fate of the drama god and save some time.

After taking a quick look around and not finding any familiar faces, Jiang Yue relaxed and listened to the music with his eyes closed.

Captain Zhou on the side, on the other hand, integrated into the environment very well. He drank cup after cup of wine while not forgetting to stare at the beauties passing by.

However, he was not the kind of person who was addicted to alcohol and sex, and he dared not forget Jiang Yue's instructions. He saw all kinds of situations in this romantic place, and would never let go if there was anything unusual.

【Time + 2 years】

【Time + 3 years】

【time.】

"Replacement."

After another song ended, a new one continued, like the sound of nature, which immediately won praise from the audience. There were also beautiful women dancing along with the song, it was so beautiful.

Sitting in his seat, Jiang Yue opened his eyes, sat up straight, and listened carefully.

The one singing on the stage now is naturally Yu Niang. The song she sings is a section of "The Story of Suppressing Demons and Killing Monsters", which is adapted from the story of a great demon that the Demon Suppression Bureau once killed in Guanzhou.

This traditional song has been around for a long time, but Yu Niang sang it with a new flavor.

After listening to the music many times, Jiang Yue's appreciation ability has naturally improved to a higher level, far beyond the reach of those spectators who are only amazed by his singing voice.

"Suppressing demons and slaying monsters should be a happy occasion, but why do I hear a hint of sadness?"

Jiang Yue knew that Yu Niang on the stage was not singing without purpose, and he savored the plaintive and sad tone in her song.

Soon, the song reached its climax.

The audience cheered, but the noise did not affect Jiang Yue's thinking.

"The demon we killed that day was a giant ancient tree demon. It had a very strong ability to bewitch and controlled many wandering ghosts, thereby attracting passing caravans or knights to feed on."

"That day, a lieutenant from the Demon Suppression Division was ordered to kill him, but he was bewitched by him halfway. By the time he arrived, he could only become blood food."

"In the end, it was the current Guanzhou General who accidentally discovered the monster and killed it."

As the song became more mournful, Jiang Yue already had some answers in his mind.

Perhaps, the director of the drama department is about to take action against Yu Niang.

If you try to convey information by throwing embroidered balls too often, it will always arouse suspicion. Fortunately, Yu Niang is smart enough to choose to tell herself this way.

and also
Before Jiang Yue had time to think, Captain Zhou came out from nowhere and patted him on the shoulder.

"Master Jiang, there is a situation."

"Oh? Tell me."

Captain Zhou nodded, the alcohol on his face disappeared, and he regained his serious expression: "The old man's body has been examined."

"It is undoubtedly a powerful marquis, but the strange thing is that there are no obvious signs of fighting between the two sides. Those horrible wounds do not seem to be enough to kill a defensive marquis."

"But it seems that the old man also has an escort mission, so why would he let his guard down like that?" As Captain Zhou said this, the puzzlement on his face intensified.

Jiang Yue seemed to be suddenly awakened and looked quickly towards the stage.

It was obvious that the old man was not killed in the battle!

But after the song was over, Yu Niang's figure had disappeared without a trace.

As the song changed and new singers came on stage, the atmosphere of the entire Tianshang Building was not affected at all.

Jiang Yue took out the patrol token, thought about it, put it back, and whispered, "Let's go."

He originally wanted to use his authority to directly seal off this place, but it was obvious that Yunzhou was still in turmoil and short of manpower. If the person behind it escaped, all his efforts would be wasted.

Captain Zhou, who was confused, nodded and immediately prepared to walk out.

Jiang Yue turned around and took a deep look at the stage. Yu Niang should have been taken backstage at this time. He couldn't stay in this dangerous place for long, but Jiang Yue still needed to wait for the opportunity.

The head of the Drama Department who sucked the energy of women to practice martial arts might be the same person as the strong man who kidnapped Jiayin!
Although the specific connection between the two is still unclear, Yu Niang's hint forced Jiang Yue to guess in this direction.

I'm afraid that the old man that day, after bringing Jiayin to the inn, had already been bewitched by the secret magic, just like the tree demon in the opera.

Then, when he walked out of the inn, he was actually lifeless and only a shell of a marquis remained.

This is also the reason why the battle between such powerful people did not cause any commotion.

As for those wounds, they were probably just evidence deliberately left behind by the other party in order to divert the direction of their investigation.

"Shinto monk."

"The ability of the head of the Drama Department that Yu Niang hinted at seems to overlap with the one who killed the old man."

"It should be correct."

Jiang Yue was already somewhat certain in his heart. He just had to wait until he left this place to explain the situation to the two generals of the Patrol Heaven and Suppress Demon Divisions, and then
Kill him!
Such a big case could not be solved by him alone, so Jiang Yue was happy to have some free time, waiting for the two directors to cut the Gordian knot. Then he could have some free time and resources for cultivation.

Just as Jiang Yue was about to leave, he saw Captain Zhou looking strange.

“Something’s wrong”

"Master Jiang, there is a ban at the door!"

Hearing this, Jiang Yue looked towards the door and felt a chill running down his spine.

Avoid evil and seek good. At this moment, it is a sign of great misfortune!

Looking at the spectators around, they all looked in a trance, as if immersed in a hazy dream, unable to extricate themselves.

The opera on the stage did not stop, and was still being sung. However, Jiang Yue found it more and more hoarse and difficult to listen to.

It seems that the director of the drama department is about to take action.

"You start so quickly?"

Jiang Yue frowned, not knowing whether the other party was coming for him, but looking at the situation, it might be too late if he didn't ask for help.

As soon as he took out the Sky Survey Token, Jiang Yue felt a premonition in his heart and his body unconsciously took a step back.

The next moment, a sword light just brushed past the tip of his nose and almost hit him.

Jiang Yue turned his head and saw that the spectators around him had turned red-eyed and were killing each other.

The crowd that was originally immersed in the dance music atmosphere has now begun to draw their swords against each other. Those who can afford to come upstairs to spend money on this day are usually quite powerful, but their appearances are almost insane.

In just a moment, everyone in the forbidden Tianshang Tower was killed or injured!
Jiang Yue looked at Captain Zhou standing beside him, and was relieved to see that his eyes were still clear.

An attack of this magnitude was not enough to hurt him, so it wouldn't matter even if he took it head-on.

But Jiang Yue's ability to avoid danger and seek good fortune told him that if he stayed any longer, he would be in great danger!

Although there are both great disasters and great fortunes, since you can avoid the risk, why wait to die there?
"It seems that the danger does not come from these onlookers."

"I'm afraid it's the head of the Drama Department who is about to show up."

"Leave this place quickly and attract reinforcements before you can be safe."

Jiang Yue and Captain Zhou looked at each other, quickly reported the situation here, and then each took out their weapons and rushed back and forth.

As the three-pointed, double-edged sword was wielded, no one could get close to Jiang Yue, and anyone who tried to stop him with weapons died miserably.

With a few leaps, Jiang Yue jumped to the back of the stage, quickly located where Yu Niang was, and rushed forward a few steps. Without saying a word, he pulled Yu Niang and ran out.

The newlyweds on the stage continued singing as if they saw nothing.

Captain Zhou's long sword was stained with blood, and he had already fought his way out. The three of them headed straight for the door.

However, he saw that the original door was tightly locked, with a layer of dark red restriction attached to it, which was unbreakable.

"Master Jiang, you and I will rely on this door to defend it and wait for the two officials to break through and rescue us."

"Those people have been controlled, and Zhou didn't feel too bad when he cut them. But why is this place so weird?"

Captain Zhou, who was still a little confused, held a long sword in both hands and acted as if the closed door behind him was a blind spot that did not need to be defended.

This level of restriction could probably only be issued by a high-level Shinto monk. Breaking through it with martial arts skills is not something he can do at his level.

In his opinion, this time they might have encountered an ambush. He could never have imagined that a figure like the Director of the Theater Department would do such a thing.

"The head of the drama department should not be here, otherwise the omen of great misfortune would not have appeared in a quarter of an hour."

"But, how should we deal with him after a quarter of an hour?"

Unlike Captain Zhou, Jiang Yue was thinking about something else at this time.

It is not difficult to leave here, but the reinforcements may not arrive in time.

How can a person who is not at the level of a general be able to compete with the chief commander who is able to kill powerful men at the level of a marquis?

"Forget it, open the door and take Yu Niang out first."

"At least now that we're out, it shouldn't be a bad omen."

As Jiang Yue was thinking about this, the divine eyes on his forehead suddenly lit up.

How to get out of the door was never within his consideration.

It's nothing more than some Shinto methods.

Moreover, the Shinto monk did not use his full strength, but just set it up casually.

How could we possibly stop him?
The divine eye between the eyebrows opened, and a big star seemed to appear inside, laws were born, and the stars were flowing.

【Break all the laws】!
In an instant, the Shinto prohibition decree on the door shattered, and after a little red light, it disappeared, as if it had never appeared.

The moment the decree was broken, the vermilion gate was instantly chopped into pieces by the three-pointed, double-edged sword. The three men rushed out of the gate and felt relaxed.

"The two generals are on their way. They ordered us to quickly gather the people around us and make the decision whether to fight or retreat."

"Sir, please give me your orders!"

Captain Zhou on the side was already astonished by her beauty and asked respectfully.
