Black Fairy, the master is a female ghost

After visiting Prime Minister Zhou, Lu Xunhuan took Qingxia away.

On the way, he reported the situation to Qingxia.

Both of them felt that the thief might not be on the list of the Immortal Friends Association.

But out of rigor, they went on to visit the other nine men one by one.

As they expected, no one had such characteristics.

Qingxia even doubted whether the dental characteristics of the thief that Lu Xunhuan judged based on the teeth marks were accurate.

Lu Xunhuan did not make any further excuses to her.

When it got dark, he went to the Xiaonanmen Night Market, entered the Bujianbusan Roast Chicken Shop, and asked for a private room.

He sat in the private room and thought for a while. Zhu Tianpeng came as scheduled and entered the private room.

After the dishes were served and there were no waiters to disturb them, the two of them got down to business.

Zhu Tianpeng asked, "The fact that our Immortal Friends Association has to pay money to the president every year is an internal secret and is generally not disclosed to outsiders. Who disregarded the rules and actually leaked it to me?"

Lu Xunhuan smiled and said, "Is it possible that I was originally a member of the Immortal Friends Association?"

Zhu Tianpeng was surprised and said, "Is that so? But how can members of our Immortal Friends Association be arranged to join any other organization besides serving in the local Immortal Friends Association?"

Lu Xun Huan shook his head: "Nothing is impossible. Everything is changing. By the way, have you met the young master?"

Zhu Tianpeng's eyes widened. The other party even knew that the Immortal Friends Association had a young master, so he must be a member of the Immortal Friends Association without a doubt.

He nodded and said, "I saw him three times in the past few years, but not in the last two years."

He asked Lu Xunhuan, "Have you seen him recently?"

Lu Xunhuan thought to himself that this was a close call.

Fortunately, he was more careful and did not continue to pretend to be the young master.

He had successively pretended to be the young master in four places: Zhongzhou, Baocheng, Yingzhou City, and Nanjun City.

And judging from those places, the branch presidents have never seen the young master.

Later, he went to Longzhou City and Kyoto City and never pretended to be someone else again.

He was just worried that some branch presidents had met the young master.

But some places have never been seen once, while the president of the Changzhou City branch has been seen three times.

What can this show?

Could it be that the young master’s home was originally in Western Chu?

Or perhaps, it was originally in Changzhou City?

Qiao Zheng, the chairman of the Zhongzhou City branch, later used an excuse to disband the Zhongzhou branch and disappeared with his daughter Qiao Yunzhi.

I guess even though Qiao Zheng helped Lu Xunhuan do some things, he was always worried in his heart, fearing that Lu Xunhuan was fake.

The fake young master killed the real young master right under his nose. If the president knew about this, Qiao Zheng, Qiao Yunzhi, and all the members of the Zhongzhou branch would probably be doomed.

Therefore, Qiao Zheng used an excuse to disband the Zhongzhou branch, but in fact he escaped, hiding his identity and escaping to a place where it was difficult for outsiders to find him.

Lu Xun Huan replied to Zhu Tian Peng, "We met briefly. I was working at the Zhongzhou City branch at the time. The young master came to ask for some silver, and after taking it, he went to Kyoto City."

Zhu Tianpeng nodded. "I've heard rumors that after Zhongzhou suffered many wars, the Zhongzhou branch of the Immortal Friends Association was destroyed in the war, and most of the members died in the battles. There is no branch left in that place."

Lu Xun Huan said, "It was indeed ruined. I was lucky enough to survive, but I was disheartened and unwilling to serve the people of Southern Liang. So, I fled far away and came to Western Chu to live a miserable life."

Zhu Tianpeng nodded again and said, "Brother, your experience is quite tortuous. Since you are in Changzhou City, you can come to me and work for my Changzhou City branch. Why did you join Xialou?"

Lu Xun Huan smiled bitterly and said, "I'm tired of my previous life and want to change my lifestyle. I don't want to mention my previous identity as a member of the Immortal Friends Association anymore."

"But, Qingxia said she was going to visit you today. When I walked into the Immortal Friends Association compound, many past events came flooding back to me. I was particularly moved and couldn't help but..."

He sighed: "Oh, no more..."

"I'm new here, joining the Xialou. I'm facing many difficulties in investigating cases, and I really need help."

"Brother Tianpeng is willing to lend us the list. I am very grateful. If you need me in the future, just let me know."

He took out the list from his arms and handed it to Zhu Tianpeng: "Thank you."

Zhu Tianpeng took the list and put it aside: "Have you checked the list? Are there any suspects?"

Lu Xun Huan shook his head: "No, the thief looks quite cunning. He may be hiding in an inconspicuous place, doing inconspicuous things. On weekdays, he runs around the city doing things, looking for targets while doing things."

Zhu Tianpeng nodded: "It's possible."

Lu Xunhuan said, "Brother Tianpeng, please keep the fact that I was once a member of the Immortal Friends Association a secret and don't tell anyone else."

"Otherwise, if the president finds out, he will punish me."

Zhu Tianpeng picked up his wine glass and said, "Don't worry, I won't say anything nonsense."

Lu Xun Huan picked up his wine glass, drank with him, and asked, "Do the immortal sects in Xi Chu usually have martial arts competitions?"

Zhu Tianpeng nodded: "Once every five years."

Lu Xun Huan asked again, "In the previous competitions, have you seen any tall immortal women? Probably around the same height as Qingxia, very tall and outstanding."

Zhu Tianpeng said, "Yes, I remember that martial arts competition fourteen years ago. There was a young female disciple from the White Crane Sect. She was very beautiful and tall. She really stood out from the crowd. During the competition, she became the focus of almost all the other martial arts disciples."

Lu Xun Huan touched his chin and said, "Fourteen years ago, if she was twenty years old, she would be thirty-four now?"

Zhu Tianpeng shook his head: "More than that, when she came to participate in the competition, she was already 24 years old. She was the oldest disciple of Baihe Sect. Everyone called her Senior Sister."

Lu Xunhuan nodded: "Then she is thirty-eight this year."

Zhu Tianpeng asked, "Why are you asking this? Is it related to the case?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "According to our preliminary investigation, the thief cursed someone when he committed the crime, cursing at someone like Senior Sister. We think he might have pursued a certain Senior Sister and suffered emotional setbacks, which led to his psychological abnormality."

Zhu Tianpeng asked again: "What does that have to do with being tall?"

Lu Xunhuan said, "Because the victims all have one thing in common: they are all tall."

Zhu Tianpeng suddenly realized: "I understand."

He pondered: "What was the name of that senior sister?"

After thinking for a while, he couldn't remember anything, so he said, "I'll go back and look up the list of disciples who participated in that competition and tell you later."

Lu Xunhuan nodded: "Okay, thank you."

He asked, "Among the disciples who participated in the White Crane Sect's martial arts competition that year, were there any shorter ones?"

Zhu Tianpeng shook his head and said, "I can't remember that anymore. As long as you're not a dwarf and your grades are mediocre, it's hard to leave a deep impression on people."

Zhu Tianpeng suddenly wanted to remember: "I really want to remember, everyone calls her Sister Ye."

Lu Xun Huan nodded. "Baihemen, a woman surnamed Ye, 38 years old, tall. These clues are enough."

Zhu Tianpeng asked, "Why, are you planning to go to Baihemen to find her?"

Lu Xun Huan picked up his wine glass and said, "It depends on what Xia Lou arranges. Thank you, Brother Tian Peng. I toast to you."

The two drank some wine and then there was a knock on the door of the private room.

Then the door was pushed open.

Qingxia appeared as beautiful as a fairy.

Lu Xunhuan quickly stood up and welcomed her in.

"My dear, I told you to rest well in the Xialou, but you're running around the streets dressed like this. Aren't you afraid of being caught by thieves without my protection?"

Qingxia said unhappily, "What are you talking about? Can you say something nice?"

She saluted President Zhu and said, "President, I'm sorry to bother you."

President Zhu smiled and asked, "Miss Qingxia, do you have something to talk to us about?"

Qingxia said, "I'm fine. I was just worried that he might say something rude to you, so I came to check on him. Did he say anything stupid?"

President Zhu said: "Brother Supreme Jade is very good, I like him very much."

Qingxia nodded: "That's good."

President Zhu gestured, "Since you're here, let's eat something together."

See you at the roast chicken restaurant, there are seats outside.

Captain Ma and Pan Long ordered a roast chicken, ate it slowly, and waited slowly.

Pan Long whispered, "Captain, isn't this too risky? What if that thief suddenly shows up, snatches Qingxia away, and runs away? We can't fight him off, can't catch up, won't we be doomed?"

The captain knocked him on the head and said, "Crow Mouth, eat and don't talk."
