The top-level junior sister also wants to act weak today

Jiang Yingxue: "So you all think it's haunted?"

"Of course she did," the waiter said firmly. "How else can we explain why this nice girl committed suicide for no apparent reason?"

The waiter weighed the silver in his hand and lowered his voice. "I'd like to tell you that the government now suspects the place is haunted, and they've even hired immortal cultivators to capture the demon. Oh, and by the way, what are you two doing here in Liangzhou?"

"Visiting relatives." Jiang Yingxue said immediately.

"I see. If there's nothing else, I'll go down first."

"Okay." Jiang Yingxue nodded, then gave Yan Chuan a look: "How about after we finish eating, we go to the government office first?"

"Right on my mind."

So the two of them went to the government office first.

At the gate of the government office, a woman was kneeling in front of the door and crying her heart out.

"It's so unfair! How could my Lian'er, who is so well-behaved and sensible, commit suicide? Lord, please see clearly! You must make the decision for us!"

An official wearing a black gauze hat hurried out of the government office and said, "My dear sister, our government is really trying to find a solution and is looking for an expert. It's not a good thing for you to come here and make trouble every day."

"I don't believe it! You said you hired a master, but where is the master? Where is he?"

"Yes, Master, why hasn't the expert invited by the Xianyun Sect arrived yet?"

Yan Chuan and Jiang Yingxue looked at each other, then quickly stepped forward: "We are here."

Everyone looked up quickly upon hearing the voice. Fu Changchun, the county magistrate who had issued the bounty, immediately recognized the Xianyun Sect's uniforms: "Oh my god! He truly is a master!"

The kneeling woman looked at the two men with suspicion. Their ages seemed far from the masters she had imagined. She hesitantly asked, "Are you really masters?"

Yan Chuan quickly stepped forward and helped the man up: "I don't dare to call you a master, but we are indeed cultivators. This time we are here to assist Master Fu in investigating the serial cases. However, whether this is suicide, homicide, or the work of a demon, we still need to investigate."

"So he's from the Immortal Family, no wonder he's so young." The woman breathed a sigh of relief. "Then it seems someone can avenge our Lian'er!"

The sun was at its zenith. The magistrate looked up at the glaring sun and said quickly, "How about you two follow me into the yamen? I'll go over all the recent cases for you to review?"

"Then I'll have to trouble you, County Magistrate." Yan Chuan nodded. "By the way, Madam, if it's convenient for you, please come in with us. I also have something I want to ask you."

After hearing this, the woman nodded and followed him in.

Inside the yamen, the guards compiled all the recent cases into a scroll and handed it to the two men for review.

Yan Chuan started his investigation directly from the most recent case. He looked at the woman and asked, "Auntie, I heard that your daughter committed suicide the day before yesterday. Who was the first to discover the deceased? What was the situation at the time? Please tell me everything in detail."

The woman sighed, then said, "I found her. When I got home in the evening, I found that the door lock wouldn't open, and no one answered when I knocked on the door. So I got up and went to the kitchen to get an axe and split the door lock. After splitting it open, I found that Lian'er had hanged herself. She was hanging from the beam. She was still wearing new clothes and had heavy makeup on... "

Yan Chuan frowned: "Suicide in a secret room?"

Master Fu immediately chimed in, "Yes, and with this one, there have been four suicides in a row. All of them were women, all committed suicide in secret rooms, all wearing new clothes and ugly makeup. One or two would be fine, but four in a row has truly terrified the entire Liang Province."

Jiang Yingxue read through the scrolls of several cases and then said, "Auntie, can we go to your house to take a look? I want to see the crime scene."

"can."

After that, the old lady took them back home.

"I was just wondering if the authorities would come to collect evidence. I haven't dared to touch anything in the house these past few days, fearing that I might destroy any evidence. Take a close look."

The men entered the room and found it airtight, with the windows tightly shut. If, as the old lady had said, she hadn't moved in the past few days, then it was clearly a closed-room suicide, no wonder the authorities were so troubled.

Yan Chuan walked to the beam where the deceased had hanged himself, closed his eyes, and made seals with his hands to feel the surroundings.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes: "There is indeed a demonic aura."

Upon hearing this, the old lady stumbled back a few steps, tears streaming down her face. "How could this demon be so vicious that he wanted to harm my daughter? My daughter is a good girl. How could she have offended him that he would take such a fancy to her?"

Master Fu stamped his foot fiercely. "It seems my guess was right. This isn't human error, but a demon! It must have possessed these women, forcing them to commit suicide! Master, you must help us catch this demon and get rid of it!"

Jiang Yingxue also felt the demonic aura that Yan Chuan mentioned, but judging from the demonic aura, the demon's magic power should not be very high.

She looked up at the hemp rope hanging from the beam, then at the wooden stool kicked over by the deceased, and immediately felt something was wrong.

"Big Brother, although I also sensed the demonic energy, this still doesn't look like suicide."

"Indeed." Yan Chuan nodded: "And this demonic energy is quite weak."

Upon hearing this, Fu Changchun was immediately puzzled: "Two masters, why do you say that? Didn't you say you discovered the demonic energy?"

Jiang Yingxue pointed at the rope on the beam and said, "I just read the contents of your scroll. The deceased was less than five feet tall, and the stool that was kicked over was only one foot high. But the hemp rope is hanging eight feet from the ground. At this height, if she wanted to commit suicide by hanging, she would need to stand on the stool and jump to put her head in. But if she did, she wouldn't be able to kick the stool over. This is clearly homicide."

After all, Jiang Yingxue is a woman who has watched hundreds of episodes of Conan. She saw the flaw as soon as she arrived at the scene.

"So, according to the expert, the demon didn't possess the deceased, but instead hung them from a hemp rope to create the illusion of suicide?" The Grand Tutor scratched his head. "But that's not right. The deceased wouldn't have cooperated. Furthermore, our coroners examined each body and found they all died of suffocation. There were no external injuries, and they hadn't taken any drugs. Besides, they're all demons, just going to kill people. Why go to such great lengths?"

Yan Chuan shook his head and said, "That monster's power isn't very strong, and it can't materialize itself. If I'm not mistaken, the murderer must be someone else."

"what do you mean?"

"Among the murderers, there are demons and humans."
