I was just solving crimes, how could I become an immortal?

Chapter 354 The most arrogant murderer

The sky is bright and clear, the mountains are high and the water is merging.

As a medical sect, Jishihui had countless visitors in the square early in the morning seeking medical advice, and the scene was very lively.

Master Peng of Jishihui is sitting in the study, wearing a gray gown and a white beard, showing his simple and noble character.

Take a closer look at his desktop.

For tea, I only drink the best Xunlong leaf from Tianshan in Dongzhou; for ink, I only drink Songhai Yipinju, which is a hundred taels per gram.

This pavilion master's treasury is far richer than outsiders imagine.

According to this trend, this [Thousand Food Festival] will definitely bring in a lot of money.

But today, Pavilion Master Peng was a little unhappy.

Speaking of which, Lu Pan, who was assigned to carry out the Holy Ship Plan last time, was one of his disciples.

Of course, he was not a disciple studying medicine, but a disciple studying fraud. Unfortunately, he failed to hide it from Cao An in the end and was caught out in public. In the end, he was buried in the belly of a fish.

Regarding the issue of revenge, Pavilion Master Peng didn't want to go into detail. He didn't have much affection for Lu Bian as a master and disciple.

The only worry now is how many secrets Cao An learned during his secret chat with Judge Lu.

As a doctor, reputation is the most important thing, so he arranged for someone to invite Cao An over, hoping to attack from the side.

Unexpectedly, Cao An was not in the house.

"Disappeared? When did you disappear?"

"Back to the Pavilion Master, it must have been late yesterday night. The disciple went to deliver breakfast early this morning, but could not find anyone."

Pavilion Master Peng frowned slightly and tapped his fingers on the table uneasily.

Cao An looked a little weird when he came here, but he suddenly disappeared in the middle of the night. He vaguely felt that things were not that simple.

Just as he was thinking about it, another disciple came to report outside the house, and Cao An found him.

"Found it? Where did you find it?"

"Just in the square, he was walking around in a white robe."

Weird, really weird.

There were many people coming to participate in the [Thousand Food Festival] this time, and Jishihui was unable to monitor every aspect.

But if Cao An is allowed to wander around, he always feels uneasy.

"Go and invite him over, and tell him that I have something important to discuss."

"Yes!"

……

Invited by the master of Jishihui Pavilion? This is a good thing!
Cao An, who was wandering around, naturally agreed without hesitation and ran over happily.

Looking at the light steps and the overflowing smile, Cao An had just entered the study. When he saw Pavilion Master Peng, he walked over excitedly.

Then the next step should be polite remarks, pleasantries, and flattery.

Master Peng Ge has seen this kind of scene many times. As the largest medical cult in the entire Eastern Continent, it is certain that he is respected by thousands of people. If Cao An is aware of current affairs, maybe he can...

"You must be the Pavilion Master Peng that Judge Lu is talking about! I'm sorry, but I heard that you have close cooperation with [Three Photography Studio]. I have something to do with them recently. Can you recommend someone to me?"

[Ji Shi Hui] cooperates closely with [Three Photography Studio]?
The boy who was helping to guide the way behind him felt weak at his feet and almost fell to his knees.

Is this something he can hear? He scrambled to the door and rushed out, fearing that he would be silenced by the pavilion master if he left late.

On the other hand, Pavilion Master Peng's face was ashen at the moment.

He was also worried that Judge Lu would reveal his secret, and wanted to find Cao An to attack from the side.

It's better now, there's no need to side attack, Cao An gave him a big one as soon as they met.

"Hmph! Judge Cao, I respect your reputation as a god in deciding cases, but please respect yourself. You will get yourself into trouble if you listen to rumors and gossip."

Pavilion Master Peng's voice was full of threats.

Now that Lu Xuan is dead without any supporting evidence, it is impossible for Cao An to characterize him.

If he didn't know what was good, he wouldn't mind mobilizing the doctors' connections to ruin Cao An's reputation and drive him out of Dongzhou. But Cao An chuckled lightly and didn't care at all.

He even wanted to cause more trouble.

"What Pavilion Master Peng said, am I the kind of person who is afraid of trouble? If I were really afraid of trouble, I would not accept your invitation."

Pavilion Master Peng narrowed his eyes: "What do you mean? Do you have another purpose for coming here?"

"Master, what do you think?"

Cao An smiled, and there was obviously something in his words, which made Pavilion Master Peng feel a little uneasy.

Just as he was about to continue asking, a bell suddenly rang outside the house.

thump -- thump -- thump --

The bell reverberated loudly and rang three times in a row.

"This is it! Something happened in [Canopy Forest]!"

Three loud bells rang, which was a warning that the Jishi Society was under great threat. Either a powerful enemy of the sect was attacking, or [Tianpeng Forest] was in crisis.

Now that the sect is peaceful, there is no need to worry, it must be the trouble in the [Canopy Forest].

At any other time, when the secret realm was guarded by a large formation from all directions, Pavilion Master Peng would still be very confident.

But now, Cao An was standing in front of him, with a smile on his face that made him panic.

"Pavilion Master Peng, what do you mean by looking at me like this? It seems that you are in some trouble? Why don't you go and take a look?"

Pavilion Master Peng narrowed his eyes: "Go, of course! I heard that Judge Cao is an expert in judging cases, so please excuse me and go with him."

"Of course, Pavilion Master Peng invites you."

……

thump—

The fourth bell sounded, which was an additional serious warning from the elders after checking for trouble.

At this moment, thousands of monks gathered outside the [Canopy Forest], looking at the turbid black air above the secret realm, and talking about it.

"What happened?" Pavilion Master Peng asked hurriedly as soon as he arrived.

The two responsible elders looked livid. They looked at the crowd and whispered, "It's the poison master from [Ten Eyes] who was killed."

"What! Killed? Who did it?"

"It's not clear yet. Fortunately, as soon as something happened, the guards blocked the exit."

[Tianpeng Forest] is the foundation of Jishihui. If it is a small problem, Jishihui will not make a big deal about it, block the news, and just deal with it privately.

But this time is different from the past. The [Ten Directions Formation] was not destroyed, and the murderer did not come out.

What everyone is worried about at the moment is that the murderer has found a flaw in the formation and can travel unimpeded among the fairy mountains in the Canopy Forest.

One death is already troublesome. If more casualties occur, their century-old reputation will be ruined.

Pavilion Master Peng gritted his teeth and secretly resented: "If something happens at this juncture, the [Thousand Food Festival] will probably have a big impact."

The elders nodded: "Yes! This is also what we are worried about. We are afraid that the other party is not good and is coming for our Jishihui. Pavilion Master, do you have any suspicion?"

Suspicion?
It seems that there really is!

Pavilion Master Peng suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Cao An in the crowd.

This person looks like a murderer! Could it be that he did it?

Yup!

It’s me!

Cao An met Pavilion Master Peng's gaze with a harmless expression.

Please, come and catch me.
