Chapter 33 Murderer
Yu Jin thought for a moment and said:
"Let them in."

Although Tianjinwei has now found the important clue of Beiqi Mingqi, the most urgent task is to find the murderer as soon as possible. With the assistance of Liushenmen, it will undoubtedly be more conducive to speeding up the progress of solving the case.

Not long after, the guard brought Ji Feiyun and his group to the hall.

Another chief constable, Gong Lishan, arrived with Ji Feiyun. He was also one of the ten most famous constables in the general yamen.

Not long ago, Ji Feiyun was really unable to do anything about the acupuncture points on Guan Shanxue's body, so naturally he didn't have much dignity to stay for long.

He happened to meet Gong Lishan who was returning to Liushenmen, so he asked him to come to Aurora Pavilion together.

After all, it was a case that even the Tianjin Guards were helpless to handle, and he came here alone, so he was more or less unsure.

Although Gong Lishan is tall and strong, he has a pair of eyes like an eagle.

Not only is he skilled in martial arts, but he also has an extraordinary memory. He is an expert at investigating cases, and with him around, he will undoubtedly be more confident.

However, when they arrived at Aurora Pavilion, they discovered that Tianjin Guards had already found the cause of death of the five people.

"Beiqi Mingqi, it turns out to be this kind of thing. No wonder you can't find the cause. But, how did Lord Yu find this thing?"

Gong Lishan was knowledgeable and knew how powerful Beiqi Mingqi was, but he still asked with some doubts.

"It was discovered by accident today by a young eunuch under my command."

An Quan took the initiative to explain, but concealed the events related to Li Musheng.

When he told Yu Jin and others about this matter before, he also concealed the fact that Li Musheng took action.

Hearing this, Gong Lishan did not ask any more questions. After thinking for a moment, he asked Yu Jin:
"What does Master Yu plan to do next?"

"Investigate all those in Aurora Pavilion who had contact with the five people who died previously, as well as the ten people who have died now, and find the most likely suspect."

Yu Jin spoke slowly, then said:
"Not only these gentlemen present here, but also everyone in the Tianjin Guard, I will thoroughly investigate them all."

Gong Lishan nodded and said:

"There's nothing wrong with that. I'm just afraid the murderer is too cunning and isn't among the people you mentioned."

"What does Captain Gong have to say?"

"I wouldn't call it a brilliant idea, but I suddenly remembered reading some records related to Beiqi Mingqi in a volume of the Six Gates."

Gong Lishan bowed and continued:
"It is said that during the Great Qi Dynasty, someone spied on others practicing this technique and discovered that the sticky, sticky nature of Beiqi Qiming Qi stems from the need to swallow a herb called slug grass when practicing this technique."

"Slug grass itself has a very strong fishy smell. Almost everyone who practices Beiqi Mingqi will have this smell on their body. Therefore, we may be able to start from this aspect."

Upon hearing this, Yu Jin's expression changed, and he said thoughtfully:
"In that case, I'm afraid we'll need to find a hound with a keen sense of smell..."

At this time, Ji Feiyun, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke:

"No need to look for someone else. This subordinate of mine has specially cultivated a skill of smelling air in order to investigate the case. Having him here is enough."

As he spoke, Ji Feiyun winked at Cao Po beside him.

The big man with a slender chin and a tiger beard showed a change of expression. He immediately stepped forward and bowed, saying:
"I'm not boasting, but any smell within thirty feet cannot escape my nose."

Cao Po was very eager at this moment. If he could find out the real murderer in Aurora Pavilion this time, it would be a great achievement. After a few years and his martial arts improved a little, he would have a chance to be promoted to Silver Medal Constable.

Why should such a great achievement be given away to a dog?

Seeing this, Yu Jin and several eunuchs exchanged glances and nodded:
"Then you should give it a try."

Hearing this, Cao Po quickly agreed and immediately activated his scenting skills, filling the meridians and acupoints in his nose and began to sniff around the hall. Soon, he seemed to have made a discovery and walked towards the courtyard outside the hall with his nose twitching.

However, Ji Feiyun next to him suddenly grabbed him:
"Don't go over there, that's a lotus pond with lots of fish!"

Hearing this, Cao Po was stunned and stopped immediately.

This also caused everyone in the hall to burst into laughter, but at this moment, Cao Po suddenly had a gleam in his eyes and said:

"found it!"

After saying that, he turned around abruptly and walked towards where Li Musheng was.

Seeing this, Ji Feiyun on the side hurriedly followed. However, when he first saw Li Musheng, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

At this moment, Li Yuanling looked at Cao Po and the others who were coming towards her, and immediately took a step forward, blocking Li Musheng in front of him, and said coldly:

"Stand still, what do you want to do?"

Cao Po had met Li Musheng once in a restaurant before, and was also a little surprised to see him appear in the Aurora Pavilion.

However, his mind was obviously not on this now, and he waved his hand and said:

"The person I'm looking for is not him, but... him!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed behind Li Musheng.

In an instant, everyone's eyes were all looking in the direction of Cao Po's finger.

Only a few feet behind Li Musheng stood a guard wearing black armor and holding a gun.

He stood in the shadow cast by the curtain, with his head lowered, making it impossible to see his true appearance.

At this time, Li Musheng also slowly turned around and looked at the person behind him.

However, what he was thinking in his heart was: Wow, I was discovered after all!

"come here!"

Yu Jin spoke in a deep voice, looking at the soldier sharply. His whole aura had changed, revealing a suffocating sense of oppression.

The several eunuchs around, as well as Ji Feiyun and others, also looked vigilant and stared at each other warily.

At this time, after Li Yuanling reacted, she immediately pulled Li Musheng back.

The soldier standing in the shadow of the curtain never moved. There was silence in the air for a few breaths, and the whole hall suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Just as the pacification envoy Yu Jin's eyes gradually became dangerous and he was about to speak again, the soldier finally sighed softly.

For a moment, a long sigh echoed throughout the hall. At the same time, the soldier slowly raised his head, revealing a young face with clean features.

"Why are you so anxious to die? It wasn't your turn yet. You still had several days to live."

A calm voice came out of the young soldier's mouth, and a smile that seemed extremely helpless appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The next moment, the armor on his body silently broke apart, and the spear in his hand cracked, then turned into a pile of iron powder and fell down.

Then, wisps of inky black mist emerged from his seven orifices, condensing and linking into phantom chains of misty iron chains that wrapped around his body.

"Since you want to die early, then no one in Aurora Pavilion will survive today!"
