Chapter 265 Slaying Demons and Eliminating Evil
The constable nodded, without looking away.
Ning Xiaoxi stood up, pointed to herself, and gestured with her hand and tiptoe to show her measurements. "You think it would be me?"
The constable felt somewhat embarrassed. There was no body, no murder weapon, nothing at all, just a woman's testimony, and a rather dubious one at that. But he couldn't ignore it, since the woman reported that her husband and son had been murdered. Those were two lives!
"What killed the boss?" Ning Xiaoxi sat down again and took a sip of tea to calm herself down.
The constable shook his head.
Ning Xiaoxi looked at the constable helplessly, "What do you want me to do?"
The constable took a deep breath. "Stay in Sucheng for three more days."
Ning Xiaoxi thought for a moment, there were still two demons and one monster left, three days should be enough, so she nodded, "No problem."
After the bailiff left, Ning Xiaoxi enjoyed a delicious meal.
It's sunny and clear today, perfect for flower viewing.
怡园
Flowers in full bloom.
From the entrance until she reached the pavilion in the middle of the lake, Ning Xiaoxi felt she had seen more flowers than she had ever seen in her entire life. How could there be so many flowers?
Inside the pavilion in the middle of the lake, a student was painting flowers, surrounded by several other students doing the same thing.
Taking advantage of her slender figure, Ning Xiaoxi moved closer to the table.
The painting depicts a blooming peony with delicate brushstrokes, as if the flower itself had been brought to life on the canvas.
The student gazed intently at the blooming peony before him, as if he wished he could devour it, yet his hands never stopped moving as he continued to trace its beauty.
Ning Xiaoxi took a step back. My goodness, how did she become so obsessed?
Several students around were also staring blankly at the flower, but they were looking at the flower on the drawing paper, not the actual flower.
Ning Xiaoxi sighed and shook her head, then stretched out a finger from the gap in the crowd and touched the peony flower that had already been completed on the drawing paper.
The fragrance of flowers instantly filled the entire pavilion in the middle of the lake, and everyone couldn't help but close their eyes and take a deep breath, immersing themselves in the aroma.
When the student opened his eyes again, he was momentarily dazed. The flowers on the paper seemed to have become ordinary, and the ethereal artistic conception was gone. A wave of disappointment washed over him.
Ning Xiaoxi felt truly kind to take the peony flower fairy into her cave to keep the tree spirit company.
There were so many flowers in Yiyuan Garden, and the winding paths led to secluded spots. Ning Xiaoxi got lost.
A handsome young man of fifteen or sixteen, with a clean face, clear eyes, and refined manners, was supporting a beautiful young woman.
The moment he saw Ning Xiaoxi, his body froze.
Ning Xiaoxi smiled and waved, "A good man wouldn't abduct a beautiful woman like this."
The handsome young man now held a gleaming dagger to the beautiful woman's throat. "I wouldn't have killed her; it was your appearance that ruined her." He then tightened his grip.
"Oh dear, you're so impatient! I haven't even made a move yet, and you're already thinking of attacking me. Do you look down on me?"
"Snap!" The handsome young man's wrist broke.
"Clang!" The dagger fell to the ground.
"Pfft!" The Spirit Crystal Heart Dagger pierced the handsome young man's heart, and the demonic energy was dispelled by the Spirit Crystal Heart.
"Ah!" The beautiful young woman, who had been unconscious, woke up to see the scene of the young lady assassinating her husband, and then fainted from fright.
Ning Xiaoxi squatted down and looked at the beautiful woman lying on the ground, feeling a little worried. This was yet another eyewitness.
Ning Xiaoxi turned her head and saw a bailiff walking out from behind the flower bushes.
She blinked her big, innocent eyes and looked at the familiar face of the constable.
"Was that person the same yesterday?" The constable pointed with a trembling finger at the spot where the handsome young man had just disappeared.
Ning Xiaoxi blinked again. "What?"
The constable pointed to the Spirit Crystal Heart Dagger that she was still holding in her hand.
Ning Xiaoxi stood up, sheathed her dagger, replaced it with a parasol, and smiled gently and shyly.
The constable took a deep breath, raised his hand and pointed, "Go straight to the end here, then turn left and you'll see the exit."
Ning Xiaoxi's eyes lit up, and she nodded happily, "Thank you."
I spent a day exploring the entire city of Sucheng, enjoying delicious food, beautiful scenery, charming women, and strolling through the night market.
So, it shouldn't be too strange to run into a familiar constable around the corner, right?
But the constable's eyes shone brighter than the stars in the sky.
Ning Xiaoxi wanted to leave.
"Lady, please wait."
Ning Xiaoxi said innocently, "I just went to the night market and wanted to go back to rest."
The constable quickly stepped forward, while the other three remained on the perimeter. "Miss, please don't misunderstand. I have something I'd like to ask for your help with."
Ning Xiaoxi blinked but didn't reply.
"My eldest sister-in-law is pregnant, but my brother has been missing for over a year!"
Ning Xiaoxi glanced sideways, wanting to run away.
"Young lady, please don't misunderstand. Since my brother disappeared, my mother has been eating and sleeping with my sister-in-law every day. My sister-in-law has never done anything inappropriate. She said that she became pregnant because she dreamed of my brother. The doctor examined her pulse and everything was normal. Although my mother is worried, I am also suspicious, but I dare not bet that it was not my brother who really appeared in my dream."
Ning Xiaoxi examined the constable closely and couldn't help but sigh. She beckoned him to follow her.
The constable glanced at his three brothers behind him, one followed, while the other two continued patrolling the streets.
The night market was bustling with activity and filled with noise.
Ning Xiaoxi walked ahead, slowly, as if she were strolling through a market.
The constable tugged at his brother's sleeve, somewhat doubtful.
The constable shook his head and followed firmly behind Ning Xiaoxi.
There is a deserted area in the north of the city. It used to be the residence of the Celestial Master Pavilion. Later, the Celestial Master left, and the place became deserted.
In the dead of night, away from the bustling streets, in the starless and moonless darkness, a faint shadow seemed to follow behind.
Ning Xiaoxi continued to sway leisurely, gradually approaching the collapsed gate. The two people behind her followed closely, not daring to lag behind.
"Click!"
In the quiet of the night, delicate embroidered shoes stepped on the dilapidated door panel, and one step broke through it.
He turned back awkwardly with a smile and looked at the two startled constables. "They're inside."
The two constables stared wide-eyed. "If you hadn't turned around and given us that sinister smile, we wouldn't be so scared."
Ning Xiaoxi pulled out her foot and floated into the courtyard.
The two constables behind him nearly popped their eyes out, but they gritted their teeth and followed.
Ning Xiaoxi looked at the desolate courtyard, overgrown with weeds, with tall trees and a chilling wind blowing. The roof of the main house had collapsed, but the walls were still standing, though covered with vines and moss. The side rooms on the left and right sides had no roofs left, only a few walls that hadn't collapsed.
"How long has this place been abandoned?"
“Thirteen years,” the constable answered instinctively.
Ning Xiaoxi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered that she was also thirteen years old! They were the same age as her, congratulations!
He walked straight to the big tree, to the dry well, and pointed down.
The constable was unsure of the situation, so he stepped forward and looked down to examine the area.
Beneath the dry well, a corpse sat cross-legged, its body shimmering with silver light and surrounded by faint black mist, which was blocked by the silver light and unable to break through.
