Black Fairy, the master is a female ghost

After an incense stick of time, Lu Xunhuan followed Qingxia back to the Xia Tower.

Captain Ma called out, "Come, come, report."

He then called out to the man surnamed Pan, "Pan Long, come with us."

A group of four people went to the pavilion in the backyard.

Captain Ma asked Qingxia, "How much is Mr. Zhang willing to pay?"

Qingxia replied, "Mr. Zhang said fifty taels of silver."

Captain Ma stroked his short beard and said, "Are you really that stingy? The case is complicated and there's a certain degree of danger involved. A hundred taels is at least fair."

Qingxia asked, "Then, fifty taels, do you still want to take it?"

Captain Ma said, "Oh, forget it, forget it. Let's take it. I am Xialou. The word "Xia" is the most important thing. We are chivalrous and fight for justice. We fight for the people and eliminate harm. We don't care about money."

Lu Xun Huan took out a silver note worth two hundred taels. "So, the other family paid two hundred taels, which means Qingxia and I only have to pay fifty taels, right?"

Captain Ma snatched the banknote, looked at it, and asked, "Are there any other families offering us a treat?"

Qingxia replied, "We came here on our own initiative."

Captain Ma smiled and said, "That's progress."

He turned to Pan Long and said, "See how Qingxia does things? Learn from her."

Pan Long nodded with a grin: "Yes, yes, Qingxia is amazing."

Captain Ma pocketed the banknotes and said, "I'll hand them over later and tell the kitchen to give Qingxia a chicken drumstick for dinner. Now, let's talk about the case. Have you found any useful clues?"

Qingxia said, "First, we determined that the thief was not tall, probably less than five feet."

Captain Ma nodded: "Well, very good, what else?"

Qingxia continued to report, "Judging from the tooth marks left on the victim's body, the thief had buck teeth, and one of his teeth behind the canines may have been broken."

Captain Ma gave a thumbs-up: "Progress, great progress."

He said to Pan Long, "Inform everyone in Xialou later. Keep an eye out for men with similar features. They are less than five feet tall, have buck teeth, and may have a broken tooth behind their canines."

"By the way," he asked Qingxia, "Is it the top one or the bottom one?"

Qingxia turned around and asked Lu Xunhuan, "Up or down?"

Lu Xunhuan said: "Up there, this one..."

He bared his teeth and pointed to everyone.

Captain Ma blinked and said, "No, wait, which of you observed the tooth marks?"

Qingxia replied, "He observed it."

Captain Ma's eyes widened. "Is the victim willing to let you see?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "We're here to investigate a case, not to commit thugs. They want us to find more clues, so what can't they show us?"

Captain Ma laughed: "Haha, that makes sense, but, you..."

He asked Qingxia, "Was it the Supreme Jade that determined the characteristics of the thief's teeth, or was it you?"

Qingxia replied, "I... I'm not very proficient. It was Supreme Jade who made the judgment."

Captain Ma looked Lu Xunhuan over and said, "Oh, you're good, but are you sure about your judgment? Don't let us get it wrong and end up arresting the wrong person."

Lu Xun Huan said, "I think it should be correct. Let me add a few more points."

Captain Ma nodded: "You go ahead."

Lu Xun Huan said, "First, the thief may have suffered emotional setbacks and may be a psychopath. He was ruthless and cruel to his victims."

Captain Ma stroked his beard and said, "Well, what about the second one?"

Lu Xun Huan continued, "Secondly, he might be from a certain immortal cultivation sect. And based on his strength, we can judge that he is from one of the most famous sects in Western Chu."

Captain Ma seemed thoughtful: "Well, is there anything else?"

Lu Xun Huan continued, "Third, the women the thieves assaulted were mostly tall, almost as tall as Qingxia."

"As far as we know, when he was assaulting a certain woman, he cursed a certain senior sister. Because of his hatred towards that senior sister, the victims all shared certain characteristics with that senior sister."

Captain Ma nodded: "That senior sister is about the same height as the victim, and quite tall."

Lu Xunhuan said, "This makes the investigation easier."

"Send someone to the top three immortal sects in Western Chu, bring the thief's characteristics, and then see if there are any tall senior sisters in the sect. After screening through layers of screening, the truth will be revealed."

Captain Ma snorted, "Oh, you're just being naive. Immortal sects all have to save face. Who would ask you to investigate? This is a dead end."

Lu Xun Huan asked, "Finding the evildoer who harmed the woman is a chivalrous act. Why wouldn't the immortal sect cooperate?"

Captain Ma said, "Chivalry, only our Xialou values ​​chivalry. The immortal cultivation sects have long forgotten who the immortal ancestor is. Otherwise, how could such scum appear?"

He pondered for a moment and said to Qingxia, "Overall, the harvest is still good."

"But there are still some details that need to be investigated..."

"For example, the thief's age, whether he is fat or thin, and whether you can determine his hiding place based on the place where he committed the crime, and so on..."

Qingxia nodded. "Okay, we roughly estimated the thief's weight, about 120 kilograms. In other words, the thief is neither fat nor thin, and is a relatively sturdy type."

Captain Ma said, "Okay, let's stop here for today. You two can continue the investigation tomorrow."

After the meeting, Lu Xunhuan returned to the fifth floor and sat down to practice for a while.

When it was dusk outside, the clock rang again, and he went downstairs to eat.

After getting his meal, he found Qingxia sitting alone at a table in the cafeteria.

He glanced into her bowl and asked, "Didn't Captain Ma say he'd give you some chicken legs?"

Qingxia glanced at him and said, "Just a random word, and you believe it?"

Lu Xunhuan said, "As a leader, you must keep your word."

As soon as he finished speaking, Captain Ma came to the table, brought two small bowls, and placed one in front of each of them.

"How come the leader is not keeping his word?"

Lu Xun Huan looked at the chicken drumstick in the small bowl and picked it up with his chopsticks: "Captain, is it really impossible to investigate in the immortal sect?"

Captain Ma sat down.

"If it's a small sect, it might be possible if we investigate."

"The bigger the sect, the more they care about face. Who would want a scumbag to emerge from their sect? If we go, we will only get a cold shoulder."

"Let's think of other ways."

He warned, "Also, be careful. From what you said, it seems that the thief is very powerful and a bit difficult to deal with. Two hundred taels of silver is not worth the risk."

He said to Qingxia, "Eat the chicken leg."

He added, "There are other victims. Go visit them tomorrow and try to get more clues. Of course, it would be even better if you could collect some commissions."

After mumbling a few words, he stood up and said, "Eat, eat, I'm leaving."

After Captain Ma left, Lu Xunhuan said, "Captain Ma, he's quite talkative."

Qingxia pushed the chicken leg to him: "You eat it, I don't have a big appetite."

Lu Xun Huan was not polite and picked up the chicken leg again: "Let's go for a walk after dinner, wanna go?"

Qingxia asked, "Where are we going?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "Dress up nicely and make sure everyone turns their heads to look at you. Do you understand what I mean?"

Qingxia rolled her eyes at him and said, "The thief is very powerful. What if he shows up?"

Lu Xunhuan took a bite of the chicken leg and said, "With a bodyguard as big as me following you, what are you afraid of?"

Qingxia asked, "Can you follow me around the clock?"

Lu Xun Huan raised his head and said, "Sure, I'll take a bath with you as long as you're willing."

Qingxia glared and said, "Shameless, eat quickly."
