When I become a demon king, I want to change my department to the Taoist sect.

Chapter 859 Ba Nu
When Zhou Qingyun entered [Dust and Disaster World] again, she found that during the time she was offline, this "world" was still running.

From other people's perspective, Zhou Qingyun just returned home to deal with other matters.

"Everyone, sorry to have kept you waiting." Without having time to ponder the mystery, Zhou Qingyun nodded to the people who had been waiting as an apology.

Everyone said they dared not to do it, and Gongshu Zhi asked for permission: "If the lord's affairs are settled, let's set off. A certain junior brother just sent me a message, and there is nothing unusual at the crime scene."

Zhou Qingyun nodded slightly and agreed: "Then I'll trouble you to lead the way."

Thus, a group of dozens of people set off towards the Ba River in a mighty stream.

The three pavilions under Zhou Qingyun's jurisdiction are all located along the Ba River.

Therefore, in just half an hour, the endless Ba River appeared before everyone's eyes.

"This way!"

Before Zhou Qingyun could appreciate the magnificent scene before him, Gongshu Zhi had already led everyone to a river beach.

Seven bodies were piled up in a mess on the river beach.

A young man also wearing a black suit was standing guard nearby.

Gongshu Zhi examined the body and said, "It is the same as when I first saw it. Please check it again, sir."

Zhou Qingyun looked around and saw seven bodies, both male and female, but they were all undoubtedly teenagers.

All the corpses had indeed been ripped open, with all their internal organs missing. Such a scene looked extremely evil.

"Did your Excellency gain anything?"

Zhou Qingyun had never experienced such an autopsy or investigation, nor had she learned such acupuncture, so she could only watch the fun.

But fortunately, the two judges sent by [Dust and Disaster] are both experts in this field.

In Zhou Qingyun's subordinate interface, the attributes of these four subordinates can be clearly seen.

Among them, the two judges had mastered many related spells.

So Zhou Qingyun nodded slightly and ordered in a deep voice: "Wu Chen, Wu Yuan!"

"My subordinate is here!"

"Calling the dead to identify the spirits."

According to the description on the interface between the two people, this method of summoning corpses and identifying spirits is a spell that was improved by the Legalists based on the art of communicating with the dead.

Summon the spirit of the dead and interrogate the soul!
Even if a person's soul is destroyed, some information about his life can be reconstructed based on the soul fragments.

It is one of the magic spells that the disciples of the Legalists must master when they go out to solve cases.

The two men approached the corpse with expressionless faces, muttering continuously. As they chanted, phantom souls gathered here from all directions. A rough count showed that there were dozens of them.

But none of them matched the souls of these seven boys.

The two chanted for a long time, and even summoned the souls of some monsters, but still could not see the target, so they had to give up and said: "Sir, the souls of these seven boys have not become wandering souls, and there are no fragments. They must have been detained intact by someone."

“When a person dies, his soul is lost.”

Zhou Qingyun felt that her novice mission was becoming more and more interesting. In reality, she had never encountered such an interesting mission.

"In that case, let's not look for their souls anymore. Instead, ask this wandering soul if it has seen anything and know the details." Zhou Qingyun pointed at the strange-looking souls around him.

If the soul is intact due to natural causes, it will have entered the cycle of reincarnation and been reborn.

The souls that could be summoned by the two with magic were all fragments. Therefore, among the many fragments, only a few wandering souls could communicate.

However, after some questioning, it was discovered that there was indeed a wandering soul of an old man among them, who seemed to know something. Such residual souls were mostly unable to enter the reincarnation cycle because their souls were not in order and their obsessions were not resolved. If they did not meet a Buddhist master or Taoist master who was proficient in the method of liberation, they could only experience the ups and downs of life in the Yang world and eventually be worn away.

The two used many tricks and finally made the remnant soul open its mouth, but it only spoke fragmentary words. After they sorted out the information, they reported to Zhou Qingyun: "My Lord, this soul did see the seven bodies. According to what it said, it was a person with red eyes who came on the water when the moon was dark and dumped the bodies here."

"Red Eyebrows, treading on water." Everyone immediately grasped the key point of this sentence.

The man arrested by Gongshuzhi and others said excitedly: "I have said long ago that I was wrongly accused. Now it can be proved that I have nothing to do with it."

As he spoke, he stroked his eyebrows, which were indeed the normal black color.

Zhou Qingyun looked at Gongshu Zhi again and asked, "May I ask, young man, do you know any monks around here who have these characteristics?"

He shook his head and said, "I've never seen this before."

"Young man, when you were attending the banquet in the Water Palace, did you ever notice if there were any similar people?" Zhou Qingyun asked.

"This... I have definitely never seen it." He paused and continued, "That Red Eyebrow man might be this fellow's companion."

But this time the tone was unconsciously much weaker.

At this moment, Gongshuzhi's junior brother seemed to have thought of something, and said thoughtfully: "Chimei, Chimei, could it be that they are guarding the city?"

"Guard?" Zhou Qingyun looked at the young man with doubt in his eyes.

He scratched his head and said shyly, "I remember a batch of puppets delivered to the court for public security. Their characteristics were red eyebrows and purple pupils. They were named the Unguarded Series."

Gongshu Zhi frowned and scolded him, "Don't talk nonsense. Those guards are under the control of the Sishi of Xianyang. How could they appear here and commit such evil deeds?"

"Isn't the Ba River far from Xianyang?" the young man muttered in dissatisfaction.

Zhou Qingyun looked at the two of them meaningfully, and then said, "Since they are used by the imperial court, there will be no problems. The Red Eyebrows are not a rare feature. I think it is better to start from the water."

"What do you think?"

Gongshu Zhi stopped arguing for He Bo and agreed with Zhou Qingyun's decision.

"Guan Lan, Guan Yue!"

"I am here, summon the Water Lord of Bahe to come and see me!"

"As ordered!"

Amidst the mist, a barefoot girl in green slowly walked to the government hall.

"I am a girl from Ba River, and I am here to help you investigate the case under the order of the Lord of Ba River."

Zhou Qingyun frowned and said, "I summoned He Bo, why hasn't he come yet?"

Ba Nu bowed and said, "Lord He Bo is preparing the incense for the king this year, so he is busy. I am in charge of the trivial matters concerning the Ba River, so you can just ask me."

The Qin Dynasty was founded on laws, and all gods were subject to Qin laws. This was the information Zhou Qingyun had just learned on the forum.

At this moment, she saw a god who was at least at the Yin God level being extremely respectful to her, the court chief, which made her have a deeper understanding of the weight of the two words "Qin Law".

Zhou Qingyun did not ask about He Bo. After all, this excuse was sufficient. So she pointed directly at the man in the hall who was said to have connections to the Bashui Water Palace and asked, "Do you know this man?"

The man looked at Ba Nu expectantly, pointed at himself and said repeatedly: "Lady Ba Nu, it's me, Wen Ding!"

Unexpectedly, the latter looked him up and down and said lightly:

"I don't know."
