Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 799: The Great Dream Returns 8 Everyone has been busy since they had a simple breakfast in the morning. Lunch was postponed until the afternoon and they didn't have time to eat. As soon as they returned to the Monster Hunting Division, Jiang Xinxin said that she had arranged for a table of food to be sent from a restaurant on the way. Without waiting for Zhuo Yichen to object, she said directly: "Although the people in Chongwu Camp have destroyed the remains of the victims, we are not without any clues. Don't be too nervous. Eat something to fill your stomach first, so that you will have enough energy to deal with the next thing."

Bai Jiu is still growing. If it weren't for the urgency of the matter and the busyness of everyone, he would have been asking for food a long time ago. Why would he wait until now to say it? Jiang Xinxin gave enough reasons, and he was the first to stand up and respond: "Yes, yes, even if I have to die, I have to fill my stomach and soothe my mouth before I die!"

Pei Sijing also said to Wen Xiao: "You have been very tired from going out of the city today. Just as Master Yuan Xin said, you don't care about this little time for dinner."

The table at the restaurant came very quickly. Wen Xiao was originally wondering why Jiang Xinxin had booked the table at the restaurant even though she had clearly been traveling with everyone. When she saw that the person leading the group was one of the maids she had seen at Jiang Xinxin's house that morning, she immediately realized that Jiang Xinxin might have secretly used magic to send a message to her family's puppet.

Thinking about the huge amount of money everyone had spent in the past few days, more than half of the food on the table was filled with fish and meat, including creatures flying in the sky, running on the ground, and swimming in the water. Bai Jiu was dazzled.

After finishing their meal quickly, Jiang Xinxin began to talk about the results of their investigation outside the city: "The crime scene of the first case is a bit remote. Logically speaking, if a mansion in the city marries off its daughter, the other party must not be a poor family, so the bridal sedan would not have taken such a remote and deserted path. Therefore, we suspect that the bridal sedan teams of the targeted brides may have been deceived as soon as the bridal sedans left the house."

Zhao Yuanzhou added: "We also went to the pond where the bodies of the seven brides were found. Logically, the brides died suddenly when they were happiest, which would have generated some resentment. And the bodies were thrown into the water, which would have made it even more likely for resentment to spread. But the reality is that I only found a small amount of resentment in the lake. It seems that the murderer killed people just to absorb resentment."

Wen Xiao concluded: "So, the murderer we are looking for is a demon from the water tribe who can perform illusions."

The monsters that come from the water tribe are divided into dragons, snakes, flooded dragons, fish, clams, etc., and quite a few of them can perform illusions. After all, monsters related to water can perform some illusions to some extent.

However, there are not many people whose illusions are strong enough to frighten people to death. Shen and Ran Yi are among the best.

Zhao Yuanzhou guessed that it was Shen and Ran Yi. Jiang Xinxin fixed her eyes on Ran Yi. "As far as I know, Shen is a sea monster. The fishy smell on its body is different from Ran Yi, a monster that lives in rivers, lakes and fresh water. Since Tiandu does not have a water vein directly leading to the sea, I think Ran Yi is more suspicious."

Everyone thought it made sense and breathed a sigh of relief. Even though the Chongwu Camp was constantly causing trouble, the Demon Hunting Division was able to identify the demon on the first day, which finally made everyone less nervous.

While there was still some time, Zhuo Yichen invited Wen Xiao and Pei Sijing to accompany him to the Qi Mansion, which had recently received a marriage invitation and was about to send their daughter to marry in the Duke's Mansion.

Jiang Xinxin was originally planning to explain that she wanted to go to Chongwu Camp at night to collect all the demons held captive by Chongwu Camp. When she heard that Zhuo Yichen was going to Qi Mansion to check the situation, she suggested, "It would be best if we could set up a trap to catch the turtle in the urn. Of course, it's not that I don't care about the safety of Miss Qi, but I think Zhao Yuanzhou can disguise himself and take Miss Qi's place in the bridal sedan."

Zhuo Yichen lowered his head to hold back his laughter, and the usually serious Pei Sijing couldn't help but laugh, and quietly turned her head to laugh. Wen Xiao was most happy to see Zhao Yuanzhou get humiliated, so he directly agreed to the proposal: "I think this proposal is very good, we just need the help of the big monster."

Bai Jiu also thought it was very funny and clapped his hands in approval. Zhao Yuanzhou knew that everyone was watching him being timid, but he just didn't want to do what everyone wanted. "It's not that I don't want to help, it's just that I'm not good at changing. I can't pretend to be a girl with my size!"

Jiang Xinxin smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you are not good at transformation, as long as I am good at it."

The group arrived at the Qi Mansion, and the Qi Mansion did not have any difficulties. They even hoped earnestly that everyone could capture the haunted water ghost as soon as possible. However, everyone keenly heard what Master Qi had said to the housekeeper before, that the bride must be sent on time, and as long as the bridal sedan was handed over to the wedding procession of the Zhenguo Mansion, the Qi Mansion would not have to return the huge amount of betrothal gifts, and they did not need to care about anything else.

Zhao Yuanzhou couldn't help but sneer: "Look at this greedy human."

Jiang Xinxin reminded Zhao Yuanzhou to be careful with his words: "Which sentient being doesn't have greed? Take the rage, are humans the only ones who have rage?"

Master Qi came out a little while later. He received everyone with a smile. He did not think anything of the fact that the Demon Hunting Division came at the wrong time. He even confessed, "In fact, more than a month ago, our mansion invited the Chongwu Camp to set up a demon-killing formation in the mansion. However, in the past month or so, some strange things have always happened in the mansion, disturbing everyone's panic. It seems that people's morale is about to be demoralized!"

Zhuo Yichen then proposed that everyone unanimously agreed to let Zhao Yuanzhou disguise himself as Miss Qi and get on the bridal sedan: "Now we have roughly determined what kind of demon is causing trouble, but it is not easy to catch it. If it is convenient for the Qi family, we want someone to disguise himself as Miss Qi and get on the bridal sedan so that we can catch the demon."

When Master Qi heard this, he stood up excitedly: "Great, great, this is a good idea!"

But he immediately had a new worry: "How can my daughter hide? It's not that I don't trust you, I just can't bear to leave my daughter!"

Jiang Xinxin stepped forward and said, "This is a simple matter. We only need to take an item that your daughter often uses, and our people will be able to be infected with your daughter's aura and will not make mistakes. As for Miss Qi, we also have a spell to isolate her aura. When the time comes, our people will take Miss Qi's place on the bridal sedan, and once we catch the demon, Miss Qi will be able to complete the wedding smoothly. It will only take a little time at most."

Master Qi still had some doubts, and Jiang Xinxin didn't trust Master Qi that much either, because he was a partner of the Chongwu Camp, and had reached a cooperation with the Chongwu Camp first. It would be bad if he suddenly had a whim and did something that caused everyone to fail. Although she was fully capable of making up for it, she didn't want to cause trouble.

Seeing that Master Qi couldn't make up his mind completely, Wen Xiao stepped forward and said to Master Qi: "Master Qi, why don't we go see Miss Qi first."

This time, Master Qi did not stop them, and the three girls went all the way to Miss Qi's yard. Jiang Xinxin and Wen Xiao went to meet Miss Qi, while Pei Sijing looked around the yard for the situation.

Wen Xiao is gentle and quiet, and especially has a visibly weak side, so Miss Qi is naturally not on guard against her. And Jiang Xinxin has restrained her aura and momentum since entering this courtyard. Miss Qi also thinks that Jiang Xinxin is just a civil servant in the Monster Hunting Bureau like Wen Xiao, so she is not overly defensive against her.

But as Wen Xiao's topic deepened, Jiang Xinxin intuitively felt that this Miss Qi seemed to know the evil Ran Yi, and it seemed that she had a certain liking for Ran Yi.

Jiang Xinxin was suddenly overwhelmed. If nothing unexpected happened, this was another case of a human and a demon falling in love. She just didn't know why Ran Yi would go to the point of harming innocent people.
