Chapter 2 The Corpse in the Water Prison

Hong Yun explained with a smile, "He didn't give up, so I came to the county magistrate, hoping to be accommodating and help."

"This matter is not easy to handle!" Magistrate Gao looked embarrassed and patted his thigh lightly, "Now that your son has disobeyed the order and killed an innocent passerby by mistake, he should be executed according to the law. However, I understand the righteousness well and know

You two have a deep relationship as mother and son, so it is quite difficult to give you the opportunity to meet,"

"Now you beg me again to let him go for the autopsy! This...!" He put down the tea cup, stood up, slowly walked around the back of the wooden chair, and put his hand on Hong Yun's shoulder, this beautiful and plump figure

The female doctor excited him so much that he remembered her in his mind for the first time he met her.

The other party is a widow and has many disputes. Even so, he can't help his inner impulse and is possessed by Cao Cao.

"My son is a prisoner, it's difficult to deal with him!" He shook his head.

Hong Yun glanced at the palm groping on her shoulder, with a look of disgust on her face. However, now that she wanted to ask someone for help, she could only swallow her anger. Normally, she would have taken action a long time ago.

"Can Magistrate Gao help?"

Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Gao immediately felt that the time was ripe, but he knew not to act too hastily and should be cautious, "Mrs. Li, I risked losing my reputation before, so I can help you!"

"But you also reaped the benefits!"

These words made Magistrate Gao feel a little unhappy, and his response was a little fierce, "I'm so dedicated to helping you, what's wrong with receiving some benefits!"

He realized that this attitude was too intense, and sighed, "Mrs. Li, this is not ordinary!"

Hongyun knew that the other party was playing hard to get, and asked straight to the point, "What can County Magistrate Gao do before he is willing to help?"

Magistrate Gao clapped his hands and it was done! He narrowed his eyes and moved his mustache, "Mrs. Li! Don't you know what I mean?"

Cut! Hongyun turned sideways and shook her head slightly. This beast finally showed its true face!

“It’s a deal!”

"That's natural!"

Yamen Prison, the water prison at the bottom.

Sikyong Qin Gang of the Demon Slayer Department stood in front of the cell. This old man with a resolute face and gray hair and beard put his hands behind his back and looked solemnly at the horrifying scene in the water prison.

He is the third generation Sikyong of the Demon Slayer Division. He is nearly seventy years old. This person has a mysterious background and was unknown until he became Sikyong.

This has also puzzled people from all walks of life in the Great Zhou Dynasty as to why the second-generation Sikyong passed the position to him. What is even more surprising is that no one knows what his level of cultivation is so far.

On the calm but turbid water, there was a half-mutilated corpse floating, with most of the face and body bitten off, exposing the bones and internal organs inside.

A few strands of slender black hair were wrapped around the chest and waist of the corpse. The water in the entire water prison had been dyed red with blood, exuding a fishy smell.

Qin Gang's eyes scanned the water prison several times. Such a bloody scene was normal for the Demon Slayer Division. Only the policeman on the side kept tilting his head and did not dare to look directly.

"What do you think? Yuan Xiu!"

The man named Yuan Xiu who stood behind Qin Gang remained silent. He was one of the four rudders of the Demon Slayer Division and the rudder of the Jiange Pavilion. He was in his forties, with a relatively ordinary appearance, dark skin, and a strong build.

Dark blue brocade, with a short sword scabbard on her waist.

Because he is not good at words, he is mostly taciturn on weekdays. At most, he will say a few short words in succession when the situation is urgent, giving people a rather cold impression.

Even when this person takes his subordinates to Goulan or Jiaofangsi, he does so with a straight face and mechanically completes the spread of life.

Yuan Xiu crossed his arms in front of his chest and held a long sword in his arms. When he heard Sikyong's question, he still stood there with no expression on his face, like a piece of wood.

Qin Gang frowned, and when the other party didn't respond, he tried to ask a few more questions, but the dull helmsman frowned and shook his head slightly.

This attitude made him give up asking.

At first, he didn't want to bring this stuffy oil bottle here, but the other three helmsmen had important things to do and couldn't leave.

The entire water prison was silent and filled with fishy stench.

Qin Gang glanced at the policeman who brought them to the water prison, "Is your County Magistrate Gao so busy? He didn't even have time to meet me, Sikyong, when I came here?"

"Well... Your Excellency does have something important to do, and I really can't get away."

"Then do you know what's important to him?"

The policeman looked troubled. Magistrate Gao had never told him, so he just told himself to say so. He was just a policeman. How could he know what was going on above him?

"The villain doesn't know."

Qin Gang was very dissatisfied with this answer. He waved his hand and said, "That's it! I've found out the specific situation here and tell you about it."

"Yes!" The policeman clasped his fists.

The half-dismembered body in the water cell was a thief. Five or six days ago, he slipped into the residence of an official in the Ministry of War and stole valuables.

With the full cooperation of various departments, he was captured in an abandoned house outside Kyoto.

The investigation of the case is also ongoing, and Dali Temple is also involved. More details about the case are unknown to him, a young detective.

This prisoner was taken to the county government office three days ago and put in a water cell. Last night, when the jailer guarding the prison was delivering food, he was found dead in the water cell. His death was very miserable.

Since the county government office and the prison were very tightly guarded, it was impossible for ordinary people to enter the county government office quietly, let alone go to the water prison.

Moreover, the body of the deceased was mutilated and the door of the cell was intact. Therefore, the case was immediately suspected to be the work of a monster.

Qin Gang closed his eyes and sensed the surroundings, but did not find any residual aura of the monster. Even if he left early, as long as there was a monster, he could slightly detect a different aura.

Unless some magic weapon is used to hide one's own breath.

"I can't feel the breath of any monster!" Qin Gang touched the gray beard on his chin.

Yuan Xiu immediately echoed, "Well, the same goes for Sword Intent!"

"Really!" Qin Gang glanced at him. He knew that Yuan Xiu had developed a keen sword sense and could sense monsters. However, he was quite critical of this guy's way of practice.

"By the way, Yuan Xiu, I would like to remind you that your current cultivation level no longer requires the cultivation of sword intent. Don't let your cultivation level remain stagnant in order to pursue the ultimate in swordsmanship."

Yuan Xiu remained silent and just nodded numbly.

Stubborn guy! Looking at this guy's attitude, Qin Gang knew that he was perfunctory, "No matter how high the level of people are, they can't be absolutely silent. It seems that this case is not simple."

"Is there nothing the Demon Slayer Division can do?" The detective felt a little worried about this.

Qin Gang was too lazy to respond to the detective's stupid question. The case had not yet been clarified, so of course the Demon Slayer Division could not take action.

There is no specific conclusion as to whether it is man-made or a monster. If it is a monster, further determination is needed to determine what kind of monster it is.

However, this is the duty of the monster hunter.

Qin Gang pointed towards the top of the prison, "Let's talk about it when we go up. I still want to see Magistrate Gao."

"But Sikyong, I have told you everything I know, and I have nothing to hide!"

"I didn't say you were hiding anything, you just wanted to see Magistrate Gao! What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"Uh! No... no!" The policeman made a mistake and could only pretend to be calm and nodded in agreement.

Qin Gang and the others followed the arrester and walked up the dusty steps. He said to Yuan Xiu beside him, "In a few days, I will go to Kunlun Mountain to meet my old friends. At that time, it will be up to the four of you.

One of them serves as acting Sikyong, and the others assist him."

"Well, if you have anything to do, discuss it carefully and don't just try to compete without permission."

Yuan Xiu simply responded with a "Hmm!" and didn't ask who the acting Sikyong was? Because he didn't care about that, he only cared about honing his swordsmanship.

Seeing that this boring gourd didn't care about anything, Qin Gang could only shake his head helplessly. Fortunately, other helmsmen would not be like him, otherwise he would have died of boredom.

In addition to meeting old friends, he also had other important things to do during his trip to Kunlun Mountain.

In fact, in addition to Kyoto, several special cases have occurred in other towns in the Zhou Dynasty recently. From the way of death of the deceased, it can be concluded that it was the work of a monster, but no trace of the monster can be found at the scene.

This strange phenomenon has been going on for some time.

He had a premonition that it was the trapped monster land in the north of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The seal there was broken, causing some monsters with higher cultivation levels to escape.

Just as they left the water prison and returned to the ground, they passed by the upper prison and heard rhythmic insults coming from inside.

Qin Gang, Yuan Xiu, and the policeman stopped at the same time and looked at each other, curious about such insults.

Because the pure national curse is mixed with some beats, the fast and slow rhythms, the matching of long and short tones, the smooth words and sentences, and the smooth rhymes, all of which make these insulting words appear particularly pleasant to the ear.

And pleasant.

They have no idea that when they hear this now, they are using the curse words of a rapper in the 21st century.

"Who is being imprisoned here?" Qin Gang was particularly curious and smiled unconsciously. He was quite curious about the person singing.

"He has such a special talent. I'm afraid he's not a master of quarrels in the market. The words he curses are not as powerful as the long verse he sang."

Yuan Xiuze seemed expressionless, but his eyes were fixed on the prison where the sound came from. There was a little expectation on his face, and his fingers even tapped rhythmically on the hilt of the sword on his shoulder unconsciously.

The policeman was naturally attracted by this unique rhythm and thought it sounded quite pleasant. Although it was a curse word, it had a different flavor. As a result, his mind was filled with this rhythm at this time.

He said to Qin Gang, "The person imprisoned here is a demon catcher from the Demon Slaying Division!"

"Ah! Is there such a person in the Demon Slayer Division?"

The police officer immediately informed the situation, "This man's name is Li Huaiyun. He is a demon hunter in Jiange. During the execution of his mission, he disobeyed instructions and accidentally killed a civilian, so he is imprisoned here. The investigation and interrogation have been completed. According to

The law should be punished!"

He shook his head regretfully, "This guy must know that he doesn't have long to live, so he will scold him if he can!"

Qin Gang turned his gaze to Yuan Xiu, "You are from Jiange!"

"Yes!" Yuan Xiu nodded dully, "I know! I guess Sikyong, you have also been scolded!"

"You, the helmsman, definitely can't run away!" Qin Gang responded with a smile. He didn't expect that he was actually from the Demon Slayer Division.

And Yuan Xiu, a boring gourd, must be interested in coming, otherwise he wouldn’t say a few words! He pointed at the prison and suggested, "Why don't you go in and take a look!"

"Okay!" A hint of excitement flashed across Yuan Xiu's face.

The detective knew that they would not go to the county magistrate for the time being, and he felt relieved. Magistrate Gao asked himself to drag these two as long as possible, and he did it.

The three of them entered the prison. They had just taken a few steps when the national curses with the rapper's rhythm stopped abruptly and were replaced by passionate shouts.
