I Have Awakened The Deduction System

Yangzhou City, Magistrate Residence.

Magistrate Wei Qiancheng was about 50 years old and sat on the main seat.

Looking at the couple holding the memorial tablets in their arms, he felt extremely helpless.

"You can be considered my family. Why are you still making trouble like other ignorant people? If I had the ability, I would have caught the murderer and brought him to justice long ago!"

Wei Qiancheng's hair had been turning white recently. Although the Imperial Court had sent a few Xiantian experts to assist in the investigation, they had never been solved.

He still wanted to catch the murderer immediately so that he could give the Imperial Court an explanation.

"Magistrate Wei, your nephew is only seven years old. He has been missing for seven days and there isn't even a single letter. He must have been killed!" The woman said as she wiped away her tears.

Looking at the woman's appearance, Wei Qiancheng did not feel good. He had seen his nephew once before and he looked extremely cute.

However, he really had no other choice.

According to the Imperial Court, these criminals should be Xiantian experts. He only knew a few tricks and he would die if he went.

Furthermore, as the governor, he had to take charge of the situation.

It was so tiring that Wei Qiancheng had to resign from his position.

It wasn't easy to send off these two nominal relatives. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard that two Xiantian realm ninth-stage experts had arrived.

He hurriedly went out to welcome them.

"The two lords have come from afar. Today, you must drink a few cups. This Magistrate has already prepared a welcoming banquet for you," Wei Qiancheng said very politely.

The person in front of him was a Xiantian expert from the capital. He could not afford to be negligent.

"There is no need for the welcoming banquet. It is better to understand the situation. The Magistrate should also send a few investigative experts to accompany us," The white-robed Xiantian expert said.

They were not here to eat or drink, but to complete the mission given by the Emperor.

"I do not dare to hide it from you, My Lord. This Magistrate also knows some experts in the pugilistic world. Back then, I especially spent money to ask them for help, but..." Wei Qiancheng sighed.

Back then, he had looked for martial artists, and among them, there was no lack of Xiantian seventh and eighth-stage experts. However, all of them did not return.

Now, with only two Xiantian ninth-stage experts, it was likely that they would not be able to complete the mission.

Not to mention that they would not be able to complete the mission if these two were to be involved, how would they report it to the Imperial Court?

"The two of us have the highest qinggong skills, and there will be more than a dozen experts following us. Thus, you need not worry, Magistrate. We are only conducting an investigation," The white-robed expert said.

Hearing this, Wei Qiancheng finally relaxed. There would definitely be no problem with more than a dozen of them.

He sent two bailiffs who specialized in investigating cases. They were both Xiantian fourth-stage experts and were in charge of investigating the news first.

The four of them came to the latest missing family and began to carefully investigate the clues, hoping to find something.

Suddenly, a figure flashed by. The white-robed experts were very alert and chased after it.

The other three followed closely behind.

About an hour later, the white-robed grandmaster followed them to a temple in the suburbs. The target had disappeared. It seemed that they had to go in and investigate.

The other three followed and asked about the situation.

"The secret should be in this temple!" The white-robed experts said

There was a lantern hanging at the main entrance. It gave off a strange green light and looked somewhat gloomy.

"Let's go in and take a look first. The two of you go back and report to the Magistrate," Said another yellow-robed expert.

The bailiff knew that he could not be of much help, so he headed back toward Yangzhou City.

Pushing open the heavy door, the two carefully walked in.

Countless wax figures were placed in front of them.

There were boys and girls, as well as monks.

The two rows of monks were dressed differently from the monks of the Great Zhou Empire who served them. They looked somewhat out of place.

The white-robed experts went forward to take a closer look.

When he saw this, he was so scared that he immediately took two steps back.

This was not a wax statue. It was clearly a living person's flesh and blood that had been hollowed out and made into a wax statue to be placed here.

The method was too cruel

The yellow-robed expert ran forward and casually pulled down a wax statue.

As his companions had said, whether it was a boy or a girl or a monk, they were all left with their shells, which had been hollowed out from the back.

"The mud came from the chaos, and the White Lotus appeared in a glorious era!" An expert in a pure black monk robe came to the front yard at some point in time, as if he was waiting for them on purpose.

"How dare the heretic monks of the outer realm be so impudent? The most taboo case of disappearance was caused by you, right?" The white-robed expert instantly unsheathed his sword and charged toward the outer realm monk.

"Maitreya Buddha is born, and a wise King is born! Put down the butcher's knife, and immediately become a Buddha!" The outer realm monk chanted.

The two Xiantian experts immediately blocked their hearing, because the life-reaping chant could mess up people's minds.

"Demon Monk, die!"

The yellow-robed grandmaster roared loudly, drew his waist knife, and quickly charged toward the outer realm monk from the other side.

The killing voice from his mouth instantly dispersed the life-reaping chant.

"Looks like I'll have to make you into wax statues before you will be obedient." The outer realm monk suddenly opened his eyes, and the vital essence in his body exploded, instantly enveloping them within his domain.

Half-step saint cultivator!

The hearts of the two Xiantian experts of the Imperial Court sank. They hadn't thought that the other party was actually a half-step saint cultivator.

It seemed like they had fallen into this person's trap who purposely lured them over.

They didn't know if those two bailiffs would be able to successfully return and report back.

...

He Chuan sat in his room with a frown.

Because he felt that there seemed to be an evil aura lingering in the sky above Yangzhou City.

It was a bit like the records in the "Anecdotes of Qizhou".

Could it be that this case wasn't as simple as they had imagined? There were even gods and demons involved?

If the White Lotus Cult really had a relationship with gods and demons, then the martial arts world of the Central Plains and the Great Zhou Dynasty would most likely be in trouble.

It was rare for them to come out to tour the mountains and rivers, but a group of gods and demons had jumped out. It was truly a headache.

According to the records of the 'Anecdotes of Qizhou', gods and demons loved to eat the hearts of young boys and girls, using them to cultivate sinister evil techniques.

"Young Master, are you alright?" Cai Lian saw He Chuan's expression was not too good and asked with concern.

"I'm fine. I just thought of the records of gods and demons. I feel that this case is inseparable from the gods and demons." He Chuan shook his head.

He didn't want to get involved in this matter, but gods and demons went against the natural order of things. They even used living people to practice their martial arts. Their methods were outrageous.

"Are they the monsters that eat people?" Cai Lian had also seen the "Anecdotes of Qizhou".

However, she didn't think that those things were gods and demons. It was more appropriate to describe them as monsters.

"Lian'er is right. These sad and crazy things are monsters. I just don't know how they are related to the White Lotus Cult." He Chuan suddenly remembered that when they had just left the capital, when they were resting in an inn near Lantian County, he had met that female zither player.

The reason why he had not made a move back then was purely because he thought that she was from the outer realm sect and would not be able to cause much trouble in the martial arts world of the Central Plains.

He had simply ignored her.

But now it seemed that he had been a little careless.

That day, the female zither player used the heavenly demon note to charm the audience. Her goal was not money at all, but to use them to kidnap boys and girls!

"Does Young Master want to interfere?" The kind Cai Lian could not bear to see the people in trouble. She knew that only with He Chuan's help could they calm the storm.
