Chapter 281 280. The Power of the Inspector (Subscribe!)
"how?"

Xu Qing looked at Feng Lingchen: "Can we find any clues from the body of the oil seller?"

"There are no clues on the body, but there are some clues to this person's identity." Feng Lingchen said.

"This person is from the Imperial Capital. He is idle on weekdays and often hangs out in various brothels and red-light districts."

"Some time ago, this person suddenly disappeared. Because of his bad temper, his neighbors, relatives and friends all had bad relations with him."

"So he disappeared and no one cared, and no one investigated."

"Idle people." Xu Qing's eyes flickered strangely, "Where is that vendor? Ask him to come over and see if the oil seller he met is this guy!"

Feng Lingchen understood what Xu Qing meant and quickly asked someone to bring the vendor selling lamb sausage over.

The stall owner confirmed that this man was not the oil seller he met.

"No." Feng Lingchen murmured, "This means that there is more than one oil seller in the city."

"Go check." Xu Qing's face was solemn. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly said, "Check all the places selling food in the Imperial Capital!"

"The other party must have some ulterior motive in spreading corpse oil."

"Also, those who bought the sheep sausage from that vendor, did you find any problems after checking it?"

Feng Lingchen shook his head: "No, I checked those people with the magic mirror and bone mirror, and found that there was nothing wrong with them."

"In order to ensure that everything is foolproof, I also asked the Alchemist Master and the senior monk who has mastered the 'Heavenly Eye' from the White Dragon Temple in the Imperial Capital to check those people, but they still didn't find any problems."

Xu Qing lowered his eyebrows and eyes. If even his "Heavenly Eyes" couldn't detect the problem, then his "Golden Eyes" might not be useful.

"Put those people in a dark cell."

"Were they all locked up in the dark cell?" Feng Lingchen asked in surprise.

The black prison is not an ordinary place, it is a world of its own.

Because a large number of big monsters, vicious beasts, and evil cultivators are imprisoned there, the aura is mixed, and coupled with the sealing power itself, it is not comfortable to stay in there.

Rumor has it that a trip to a dark prison will leave you with a layer of skin peeling off, and this is not an exaggeration.

If those ordinary people were locked up in a dark cell, they would probably get seriously ill, and in serious cases, half their lives would be taken away.

"You should ask the people in charge of supervising the black prison to take more responsibility and take better care of these people."

"The person behind this is a cultivator with great magical powers, and we cannot afford to be careless."

Feng Lingchen suddenly became nervous when he heard this.

He didn't hear Xu Qing say this morning that there was a powerful cultivator involved in the corpse oil incident.

"I understand." Feng Lingchen stood up in an instant, "I'll go take care of it now."

"Don't forget to check all the places selling food in the city!" Xu Qing instructed.

"Yes."

After Feng Lingchen left, Xu Qing rubbed his eyebrows.

The corpse oil incident is currently confusing, as if covered by a heavy veil, but he always has an inexplicable haze covering his heart.

"Forget it. There's no point in getting anxious now. Let's wait until Feng Lingchen has finished his investigation."

The next day.

Feng Lingchen led a group of demon hunters from the Arctic Exorcism Institute to investigate the places selling food in the city.

Because the scope of the investigation covered the entire Imperial Capital City, it caused quite a stir and attracted attention from all sides.

Feng Lingchen didn't care. According to Xu Qing's instructions, no matter how big or small, whether government-owned or privately-owned, as long as food was sold, all of them would be checked.

The results were shocking. Those restaurants and restaurants hardly mixed corpse oil into the food, but many ordinary restaurants, foot shops and street vendors mixed the "oil that makes the dishes delicious" into the food.

“In the entire Imperial Capital, it is estimated that nearly half of the population has consumed that kind of corpse oil.” Feng Lingchen’s throat was dry.

If it is a small number, they can lock them up in a dark cell first, and then it will be easier to deal with whatever happens.

But this is half of the population of the Imperial Capital!
"Inspector, what should we do?" Feng Lingchen was filled with worry.

This matter was beyond his ability to handle.

Normally, evil incidents of this magnitude would at least be the responsibility of the twenty-eight constellations.

"Tian Peng, Zhong Dou Xingjun, and none of the twenty-eight constellations have returned?"

This was a hot potato, perhaps even a volcano about to erupt. Xu Qing felt that his small body could not handle it.

And it's still a forced approach.

Clearly, there were tall people to hold up the collapsed roof, but he suddenly became the "tall man" of the Arctic Exorcism House and had to stand up.

“No.” Feng Lingchen shook his head, looking helpless, “Master Tianpeng is missing.”

"Zhongdou Star Lord followed Master Zhu from the clan office to deal with those princes. Now they have divided their forces to attack, and Zhongdou Star Lord was pulled into a certain Hutian space by one of the princes and cannot escape."

"As for the twenty-eight constellations, no one responded."

"No one from the Twenty-Eight Constellations responded?" Xu Qing frowned. "I remember that there are a few constellations that don't have any tasks that they can't get rid of."

Feng Lingchen hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

"Yes, there are a few who are indeed like that, but they are not near the Imperial Capital, but far away in the border areas, so they don't have to respond to the summons."

For some reason, Xu Qing smelled a conspiracy.

However, the Arctic Exorcism House was at most divided between the two opposing views of maintaining independence and getting closer to the imperial power. When faced with evil incidents, everyone was united.

Xu Qing pondered for a moment:
"Report this matter to the Twenty-Eight Constellations and tell them directly that Tianpeng, the head of the North Pole Exorcism Institute, is missing and Zhongdou Star Lord has left the city."

"The headquarters is now leaderless, and there are powerful practitioners who are secretly plotting something important. We urgently need someone to come back and take charge."

"Missing?" Feng Lingchen's eyes widened. "Isn't it normal to disappear for a while while on a mission?"

“If we send out a message in the name of Tianpeng’s disappearance, it may cause uncontrollable consequences.”

"It is normal indeed, but he is Tianpeng!" Xu Qing said in a deep voice: "He should be in charge of the Imperial Capital."

"Especially now that something bad is happening to Imperial Capital City!"

"He is not in the Imperial Capital!"

Feng Lingchen's lips trembled slightly, but he was finally persuaded by Xu Qing.

"Okay, I will inform the Twenty-Eight Constellations according to your wishes."

"Has the matter been reported to various departments of the court?" Xu Qing asked.

"I have reported it. All departments will conduct strict patrols from now on."

"Okay!" Xu Qing nodded, and then fell into deep thought.

Feng Lingchen didn't dare to disturb them and waited quietly on the side.

After a long while, Xu Qing suddenly raised his head and asked, "As an inspector, can I, in name, command the Five Star Gods?"

Feng Lingchen was stunned, but still replied: "Yes. The Inspector is only a sixth-rank official to the outside world, but internally he is of the same rank as the Four Lords."

"It's just a title. No inspector has ever dared to do this."
