Sky Surveying Demon Hunt

Chapter 362 Tang Li
From the moment he saw Fang Xiucai, he used the power of the primordial spirit to secretly influence him, and the Six Paths of Buddhism have always been spying on Fang Xiucai's mind.

That Fang Xiucai just now turned out to be true, not a single lie.

Briefly tell Huang Cui what he found.

Lin Ji said again: "Either Fang Xiucai is a hidden expert, even I can't see the clue. Or this matter really has nothing to do with him."

"Even Brother Lin, you can't see it? That's right."

"Entering the Dao Realm." Lin Ji grinned, "A Dao Realm strongman, the great monk I'm talking about, has taught in this county for decades, and still failed the imperial examination for more than 60 years?"

Lin Ji shook his head and said, "The 500-year lifespan in the Dao Realm is not for him to toss like this, and Fang Xiucai should be born in Sishui County. You can find out his origin after checking his background. You can't tell a lie about this."

"Then the clue is broken." Huang Cui said.

"Let's find an inn to stay in first. It took so many years for this matter to be discovered, so naturally it can't be resolved in two or three days." Lin Ji was not in a hurry.

Compared with staying in the capital, it is more free to go out on errands.

But just two steps away, Lin Ji suddenly noticed a scholar approaching from the opposite side.

The scholar had red lips and white teeth, and he looked no more than eighteen or nineteen years old.

The clothes on his body are a little worn out, but his temperament is outstanding, which sets off the whole person's radiance.

But these are not what Lin Ji cares about. What Lin Ji cares about is that this person is actually a monk.

Although it is only the third realm, it seems strange in Sishui County.

"This friend." Lin Ji took a step across, blocking the way of this person, "I haven't asked for advice yet."

"Student Tang Li." The scholar saluted.

Just when he was about to ask Lin Ji what's the matter, Lin Ji asked first: "Where is Brother Tang going?"

"What does this friend do to study at Mr. Fang's? If there is nothing else, Xiaosheng wants more."

"Oh, my sister and I came to Sishui County for the first time and wanted to find a place to stay." Lin Ji prevaricated with a smile.

Tang Li suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "There is an inn within three to five hundred meters to the east."

Lin Ji thanked him and got out of the way.

After Tang Li walked away, Huang Cui asked, "Brother Lin, was that person just now?"

"He's a monk, with a third-level cultivation." Lin Ji rubbed his chin, "It's not uncommon for an eighteen-year-old third-level student to be a disciple of a big family or a sect, but an ordinary scholar, it seems It's still a bit embarrassing, but it can be cultivated to this level."

Lin Ji looked at Huang Cui and said, "Go to the county government office to inquire about Tang Li. Many of the demon catchers and fast catchers are locals, so you should be able to find out something."

"I'll go right away, what about you, Brother Lin?" After Huang Cui responded, she was a little curious about what Lin Ji was going to do.

"I'll go to the inn first and ask for a table of food and wine to taste." Lin Ji waved his hand and walked away on his own.

But Huang Cui could still hear his muttering.

"Birds faded out of my mouth along the way."

"Everywhere you go, if you don't taste the local delicacies, it's nothing."

Surabaya County deserves to be a place near the sea.

When Huang Cui found Lin Ji in the lobby of the inn, the table in front of Lin Ji was already filled with all kinds of seafood.

Seeing Lin Ji struggling to break apart a crab, he sucked the crab roe into his mouth, then carefully pushed the meat out of the crab legs with chopsticks and put it in a bowl, and swallowed it all in one big mouthful. Then let out a contented sigh.

For a moment, Huang Cui was a little dumbfounded.

In her impression, Lin Ji has always been quite a decent person, although there are often jokes in his words, but no matter how you look at it, he should be a chivalrous man who is personable and full of justice.

But at this moment, Lin Ji's exaggerated eating appearance really made Huang Cui know another Lin Ji.

"Are you back? I left some crabs for you, eat them quickly." Lin Ji reached out to greet Huang Cui as soon as he saw it, "After all, it's still the seaside, it's fresh."

When Huang Cui sat down, Lin Ji was still eloquent: "The delicacy in this world depends on the heat, seasoning, and production method. But this seafood only needs to be cooked, and what you eat is just a piece of meat." Umami."

Seeing that Lin Ji was serious about eating, Huang Cui didn't want to disturb her, so she asked Xiao Er for a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and started eating too.

It wasn't until he was full of wine and food that Lin Ji covered his stomach and asked, "How, what did you ask?"

"Then Tang Li is just an ordinary person. He was born and raised in the county since he was a child. Except for the death of his parents two years ago, there is nothing special." Huang Cui said, "He is Fang Xiucai's favorite student. It’s pretty good, and it’s expected to win.”

"Both parents died? How did they die?"

"Going to sea to fish, the boat capsized."

Lin Ji nodded, noncommittal.

This method of death is common and there is no doubt about it.

But a student from such a background has a third-level cultivation.

This makes no sense.

"There is something wrong with Tang Li. As for whether he has anything to do with the death in the county, it's hard to say." Lin Ji pondered and said, "But it doesn't matter. If there is a connection, he will always show his feet."

Hearing this, Huang Cui was puzzled and said: "Brother Lin, the clues are all broken now, what should we do?"

Lin Ji asked Xiao Er to drink, and brought tea to relieve the tiredness.

"Just wait."

"Wait?"

"Dozens of people die a year, and on average, several die a month." Lin Ji chuckled, "Since there are no clues, then simply wait a few days until the next inexplicable person appears."

During the time spent talking, it stands to reason that the tea should have been served long ago.

In a place like an inn, you may have to prepare a pot of good tea, but ordinary tea should be prepared at all times.

Just when Lin Ji was about to ask, the little girl from just now came to the inn lobby in a hurry from behind.

He walked quickly to the side of the shopkeeper and muttered a few words in a low voice.

I saw that the shopkeeper's face turned pale all of a sudden.

"Is what you said true?"

"Your maid said it, can it be fake?"

The shopkeeper hurriedly put down the pen and paper, walked quickly into the back hall without explaining anything.

"Xiaoer, what happened?" Lin Ji called Xiaoer over and asked.

In fact, he had already heard it. It seemed that someone had passed the news through the back door. The shopkeeper's wife had just died.

Xiao Er came to Lin Ji with a sad face.

"If you go back to the guest officer, there is an emergency funeral at the shopkeeper's house, so I went back to take care of it."

"My condolences." Lin Ji said casually, and then asked, "How did the shopkeeper's wife die?"

Xiao Er didn't realize at all that he didn't even mention that he was the shopkeeper's wife, but Lin Ji did.

He whispered: "Guest officer, let me tell you this, please don't spread it outside."

Lin Ji nodded.

Xiaoer then lowered his voice a little bit more, and looked left and right for a while.

"Cutting his wrists to death, bleeding all over the floor! His maid told me that!"
