An Ling cast an invisibility spell on herself and quietly walked out of the academy.

No matter how many times she tried, she still wanted to sigh that invisibility was so, so useful! It really was a practical spell!

When An Ling arrived at the street, there were already fewer pedestrians on the street. Even those who were on their way were in a panic, walking quickly and looking around vigilantly from time to time.

"That madman last night..." Two people were whispering something. An Ling quickly went over and pricked up her ears to eavesdrop on what was going on.

"So scary? Fortunately, I don't live there."

"You're fine. I was near the accident! That scream almost scared me to death!"

"This is the number one... there must be seven or eight, right?"

"Oh, stop talking. Please, God, please don't look for me!"

After the two finished their conversation, they looked around vigilantly and then hurriedly separated. An Ling thought for a while and followed the man who said he lived near the accident. Instead of running around like a headless fly, it would be better to seize the breakthrough and at least find some clues.

An Ling followed the passerby, turning left and right, and soon arrived near the South City Machinery Workshop.

"The Mechanical Workshop... This is indeed where the siblings grew up. Or maybe they subconsciously hid in the place they are most familiar with."

After watching the passers-by go home, An Ling heard some noise ahead and was about to go forward to check, but was attracted by a faint smell of blood.

"Where does the smell of blood come from?" An Ling's many experiences in fighting made her very sensitive to the smell of blood. Although it was very faint, she could be sure that it was blood!

"There is no vegetable market nearby, only shops doing business. It should not be animal blood. Then, it should be human blood! Ouyang Yu has committed a crime again!" An Ling gritted her teeth and ran quickly towards the place where the blood smelled with a sword.

Unexpectedly, just after turning a corner, I heard chaotic shouting from the crowd!

"What a sin! He was beheaded directly."

"The criminal Ouyang Yu is so arrogant that he killed two people in the same place!" the captain of the police from the government said angrily.

An Ling looked over there from afar and saw a dead body lying on the roadside, covered with a cloth by the government officials. However, the victim had bled so much that a pool of blood formed on the spot!

An Ling thought this was the source of the bloody smell, but after thinking about it carefully, she found that the direction was wrong! The faint smell of blood was on the other side of the dead body!

She thought about it and decided that she should not act alone anymore. It would be better to tell the clues to professionals. She walked up to the head of the police and said, "Hello, sir. I just smelled blood over there too. I thought it was here, but the direction seems to be wrong."

"you are?"

"Ah, I am the ranger An Ling who is temporarily staying at Shanhai Academy."

"Why should I believe you?" The captain looked An Ling up and down suspiciously.

An Ling said: "Without any evidence, I naturally dare not deal with you. You just need to send someone with a keen sense of smell to investigate and you will know."

The captain thought for a while, and finally, he ordered his men to deal with the scene. He took a few people with him to follow An Ling. They carefully identified the direction and stopped under a big tree.

The captain was seen lying on the ground, sniffing hard a few times, looking at An Ling in shock, then he stood up and said to his men, "Dig this up for me!"

The detectives looked at each other and resigned themselves to starting digging with their bare hands.

Not long after, a distorted human face half appeared and half disappeared in the mud, and the resentful eyes were still staring at everyone, making everyone feel horrified.

The detectives were frightened and retreated, asking the chief constable for help.

The captain rolled his eyes at his men, squatted in the pit, dug handfuls of soil, and dragged the corpse out of the pit, exposing it to everyone.

"It's badly decayed. It looks like it's been dead for nearly three days." The captain analyzed while enduring the stench.

"Three days? Wouldn't that mean it would be the first victim?" a young detective asked in surprise.

"I don't know. We need to hand it over to the coroner for further analysis." After answering, the captain looked at An Ling seriously, "How did you know that the body was hidden here?"

An Ling waved her hand and said, "Captain, I don't know either. I just smelled a little bit of blood and thought I should hand it over to professionals, so I came to you."

The captain stared at An Ling with his experienced eyes, trying to find her flaws, but was surprised to find that this woman did not lie. Or was her acting so good that even he could not see through it?

He hesitated for a moment, "It is impossible for an ordinary person to smell the smell of a corpse under the soil. Who are you?"

"Well, I'm a cultivator, and my five senses are more sensitive." An Ling replied.

"Then why did you say you were a ranger just now!" the captain shouted sternly.

An Ling rolled her eyes. This guy wants to intimidate me? I am not afraid of ghosts, so why should I be afraid of you? Hearing this, she just lazily replied: "I am indeed a cultivator, but I prefer to call myself a ranger. As for whether you believe it or not, it's up to you. I just want to catch the murderer and give Jiang Ning peace."

The captain listened carefully, and after a while he nodded and said, "Okay, I believe you."

"You believed it so quickly?" An Ling was a little surprised.

"Assuming that you are not the murderer's accomplice, then, in order to smell the body buried underground, no one except the monks with sharp eyes, ears and five senses can do so. Therefore, I believe that you are a monk. As for why I am willing to believe that you can help catch the murderer, it is because you have righteousness in you, and you do look a bit like a knight-errant." said the captain of the police.

An Ling exclaimed, and a little respect for the captain developed in her heart. She wanted to make friends with him, so she clasped her fists and said, "An Ling, may I know the captain's name?"

"Oh, thank you for the courtesy, I'm Wang Yixiao." Captain Wang also clasped his fists and bowed to An Ling.

After standing there for a while, the detectives and the coroner arrived at the scene and took the body away in a sealed vehicle.

Wang Yixiao explained: "This is a modified four-wheeled vehicle, specially used to transport corpses. It is only produced in Jiangning, and the number sold to other places is very small."

An Ling nodded and said, "This is indeed very practical. With it, it can reduce the troubles of the coroners. That's right."

She continued, "Captain Wang, have you ever thought about why these two dead bodies were found near the Machinery Workshop? And the person who is suspected to be the first dead body was also buried here."

Wang Yixiao blurted out: "Of course it's because the suspect Ouyang Yu grew up here and is most familiar with this place!"

"I don't think it's that simple. Generally, murderers won't stay in one place for a long time, especially when they kill in the heat of the moment. I would venture to guess that he killed with a purpose. I'm afraid these people have close ties with him. Captain, you can check their social relationships. I think you'll definitely gain something."

Wang Yixiao said: "Although I don't understand some of the words in your words, but what you said makes sense. I will start investigating this aspect immediately!"
