Catching Monsters

Chapter 279 I Will Be There on Time
"Master Jiang, is she okay?"

Qi Da, who was following beside him, was also a little dumbfounded. He also knew that the distinguished guest he was receiving was of high status. If something happened here...

There were only a few of them in the room, so it would be hard to explain what happened.

After checking his breath and finding that he was still breathing, Jiang Yun heaved a sigh of relief and turned around and said subconsciously, "Go find a doctor."

After saying this, Jiang Yun couldn't help but slap his forehead. This Ao Yu is a monster. What's the use even if he finds a doctor?

At this moment, Ao Yu suddenly opened his eyes and sat up.

"Lord Ao, what were you doing just now?" Jiang Yun asked in a low voice.

Ao Yu's face was stern, he frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "It has nothing to do with you."

Seeing her say this, Jiang Yun stopped asking questions.

She glanced at Jiang Yun and asked slowly, "Fang Jiuyou, have you seen him?"

Hearing this, Jiang Yun did not dare to lie and said truthfully: "When Mr. Fang came to the capital, it was I who received him."

This matter is easy to investigate, and Jiang Yun did not dare to deny his involvement. After Ao Yu was silent for a moment, he asked, "Tell me everything he did after coming to the capital, and when he left."

"Yes."

Jiang Yun then told the story of what happened after Fang Jiuyou arrived in the capital.

Of course, this avoids the conflict between himself and Fang Jiuyou.

It was just said that Fang Jiuyou claimed that he was here to look for a monster, then claimed to have a clue, and left the capital without a trace.

After listening to Jiang Yun's description, Ao Yu stared at Jiang Yun and suddenly said, "You are lying."

Jiang Yun forced a smile and said in a deep voice: "Master Ao Yu, this official..."

Ao Yu interrupted Jiang Yun and pointed at his ear and said, "I just heard your heartbeat speed up when you told me the story about Fang Jiuyou."

"My hearing is very sensitive."

"Your heartbeat quickened a little bit, beating fast."

Jiang Yun smiled awkwardly and could only say, "When Mr. Fang first arrived in the capital, I had a small conflict with him. Your Excellency came here because of Mr. Fang's death, so I'm naturally worried about being suspected by you..."

Ao Yu looked at Jiang Yun with those bright eyes, as if he could see through people's minds, and asked, "Did you kill Mr. Fang?"

"Think it over before you speak. I can hear your heartbeat."

Jiang Yun couldn't help cursing in his heart, a walking lie detector, huh...

No wonder the demon tribe asked her to come and investigate the matter.

Jiang Yun looked at Ao Yu with bright eyes and said in a deep voice: "Master Ao Yu, Mr. Fang and I have no grudges against each other, and my strength is far inferior to his. How could I be related to his death?"

Unexpectedly, the cold Ao Yu suddenly chuckled and waved his fingers gently: "Look at you, I'm just kidding, why are you so easily frightened?"

"Look at how cowardly you are. You don't look like someone who can kill Fang Jiuyou."

"Go, draw me all of Fang Jiu's whereabouts after he arrived in the capital, and the people he met. I want them all."

"Yes." Jiang Yun took a deep breath, nodded and quickly gave the order.

Soon, many drawn documents, as well as records of people Fang Jiuyou had met since he came to the capital, were sent over from the East Pacification Office.

After all, Fang Jiuyou has a special identity. He is a person from the Demon Country. Many things will be compiled into written files and stored in the East Pacification Office.

"Go, tell your men to buy some food. I heard that the food in your human capital is good. I want to try it."

Jiang Yun quickly asked someone to buy...

In the upper-class room of the inn, Ao Yu was wearing a long skirt, sitting cross-legged, holding a cake in her right hand, and flipping through the contents of the document with her left hand, reading it casually.

While watching, she casually asked, "By the way, Fang Jiuyou came to the capital to find something. Do you know what it is?"

"This, I heard from Mr. Fang, seems to be called Ice Cold Pearl."

Ao Yu looked at Jiang Yun deeply and said, “This Ice Cold Pearl is not ordinary. It is a Great Demon Pill of the First-grade Heavenly Demon Realm of the Demon Clan. It is a rare treasure in the Demon Clan.”

"You have a good relationship with Fang Jiuyou, right?"

Listening to Ao Yu's words, Jiang Yun felt something was wrong.

Ao Yu threw the last cake into his mouth. After finishing it, he turned back to look at Jiang Yun and asked, "Why do you smell like the Ice Cold Pearl?"

In an instant, the entire room seemed to be completely shrouded in coldness, and Jiang Yun was also stunned.

The ice bead he ate had already been refined.

So much time has passed.

impossible.

She is deceiving herself!

Jiang Yun looked at Ao Yu with a confused look in his eyes: "Lord Ao Yu, I don't understand what you are saying. I have never seen the Ice Cold Pearl, let alone the smell of the Ice Cold Pearl."

"You can't fool my nose." Ao Yu pointed at his nose, his eyes cold: "Why did you kill Fang Jiuyou."

After hearing what Ao Yu said, Jiang Yun was even more certain that she was deceiving him. Ao Yu's cultivation was at least that of a third-grade demon, not to mention her special identity.

If she was really sure that she was the one who killed Fang Jiuyou, she would have probably attacked herself instead of questioning her like this.

Jiang Yun slammed the table and stood up: "Lord Ao Yu, I respect you as a distinguished guest from the Demon Country. I will agree to any request you make. But if you continue to act unreasonably, I will not accompany you any longer!"

"Get someone who can serve you!"

After saying that, Jiang Yun turned around and left. Before leaving, he said to Qi Da, "Look after Lord Ao Yu."

"Ah? Me?" Qi Da was stunned, a little dumbfounded, but Jiang Yun had already left angrily and slammed the door.

The smile on Ao Yu's face disappeared in the room. He then glanced at Jiang Yun's name on the document and frowned slightly. It seemed that it had nothing to do with him.

Ao Yu was indeed deceiving Jiang Yun. There was no way around it. There were too few useful clues about Fang Jiuyou's death.

Not many people have come into contact with Fang Jiuyou.

But if you think about it carefully, Captain Jiang is not strong enough to kill Fang Jiuyou.

She touched her chin, thought carefully, and then her eyes fell on Feng Yu.

If we really say who is the most likely person to have killed Fang Jiuyou, it must be this eunuch.

"You guys go back first. Tomorrow morning, ask Eunuch Feng to come over. I want to see him." Ao Yu said this and then slowly said, "Also, ask Captain Jiang to come over tomorrow as well."

Jiang Yun finally felt relieved after he walked out of the inn. It seemed that Ao Yu was indeed cheating him.

Jiang Yun then frowned, but looking at Ao Yu's posture, he was afraid that he would not leave easily unless he found out the real culprit.

This was really a headache. After thinking about it, he quickly went to the palace to meet Feng Yu first and discuss it with him.

Soon, Feng Yu heard the news and rushed to the cleansing room. After dismissing all the eunuchs in the cleansing room, he sat on a chair in the cleansing room, holding a cup of tea, and asked with a smile: "Have you seen the people from the demon country? Ao Yu is not easy to mess with."

"Yes." Jiang Yun nodded, and then told everything that happened after seeing Ao Yu today. After that, Jiang Yun asked: "Eunuch, who is this Ao Yu..."

"The Dragon Clan." Feng Yu said calmly, "The Dragon Clan of the Eastern Demon Country is roughly equivalent to the royal family of our Zhou Country."

Hearing this, Jiang Yun's eyes flickered slightly, and then Feng Yu said in a deep voice: "As for what you said, she suddenly fainted..."

"I heard that Ao Yu's demon pill was damaged before, so it has this problem."

Jiang Yun asked curiously, "My Lord, do you know a lot about the Eastern Monster Country?"

Feng Yu smiled faintly, took a sip of the tea in his hand, and said in a low voice: "Our Zhou Kingdom is located on the east side of the sea. There is a large island overseas with many monsters. We call it the Eastern Monster Kingdom."

"Although the Eastern Monster Kingdom has not caused any chaos in recent years, the Jinyiwei has also sent experts to collect information and have a basic understanding of some of the Eastern Monster Kingdom's affairs."

Some knowledge?

Jiang Yun asked in a deep voice: "Eunuch, in your opinion, how should this matter be resolved? If Ao Yu continues to investigate, Fang Jiuyou has only met so many people in the capital."

"Sooner or later, they will find out about me..."

"If they find out about me, they might be able to find out about my father-in-law..."

"When the time comes, there will inevitably be some trouble."

Listening to Jiang Yun's words, Feng Yu slowly opened his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Although Ao Yu's cultivation is not low, she is well protected by those great monsters in the Eastern Monster Country. I'm afraid that she was also considered to be trained this time."

"In my opinion, it's better than that."

Feng Yu said, raised his hand, made a gesture of wiping his neck, then looked at Jiang Yun and said, "What do you think?"

"No, no." Jiang Yun shook his head: "Killing her will probably cause more trouble..."

After Fang Jiuyou died, Ao Yu was sent to investigate the case.

What if Ao Yu died?
The Eastern Demonic Country won’t send anyone here?
When the time comes, countless masters will come and Jiang Yun will not be able to handle it.

We have to think of a permanent solution.

Since she can't be killed, the only option is to blame Fang Jiuyou's death on someone else.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yun couldn't help but scratch his hair.

Feng Yu looked at Jiang Yun's brain-wracking expression, took a sip of tea, and reminded Jiang Yun: "Jiang Yun, this eunuch is very busy recently, you should handle this matter well, I don't want to get involved..."

There are still a lot of things to do in the army in the north, and now is the day to besiege the Hu army.

Feng Yu needs to focus his energy there.

But soon, there was another knock on the door.

Feng Yu frowned slightly, opened the door, and it was Qi Da.

Qi Da was a little surprised to see Jiang Yun there, but he still said to Feng Yu respectfully, "Eunuch, the lord of the Eastern Demon Country, please go there early tomorrow morning."

"I?"

Feng Yu frowned immediately, but forced a smile: "Okay, go back and tell Lord Ao that I will be there on time..."

"Well, I'll take my leave." Qi Da glanced at Jiang Yun in the room before turning around and leaving.
