Goddess Helps Me Simulate Cultivation

Chapter 52: Murder in a Medicine Shop! Dismemberment!

The next day.

Early in the morning.

Bai Yi had arrived at a nearby inn early in the morning. Although as a ninth level Qi Refinement stage cultivator, he was already able to abstain from eating for a period of time. However, the desire to eat was not something that could be easily abstained.

Moreover, in this world without the internet, if he could abstain from even the desire to eat...

Life would be too boring, right?

In any case, Bai Yi could not bear it.

He did not have that kind of state of mind.

However...

While Bai Yi was waiting for the waiter to serve breakfast, a familiar person came into his sight.

That face, which looked slightly solemn, made Bai Yi recognize him at once.

“Constable He?”

Bai Yi revealed a slightly surprised expression, then glanced behind Constable He at the few lower-level bailiffs.

The moment the other party entered the inn, they immediately came straight for him. They were definitely here to look for him.

Constable He did not keep him in suspense, he went straight to the point. “Cultivator Bai, I’ve disturbed you again. Last night, a murder case occurred in Qinghe County. The deceased had a certain relationship with you. We need you to come with us. We don’t have any ill intentions. We just want to investigate.”

Constable He’s attitude was rather polite. Perhaps it was because Bai Yi was an Immortal cultivator.

The treatment he imagined was different from that of ordinary people.

If ordinary people were connected to the murder, these bailiffs of the county office would not be so polite.

They would just press the person to the ground and kidnap him.

“What murder case?” Bai Yi asked.

“The shopkeeper of the medicine shop,” Constable He replied.

...

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn...

In a bustling street market in Qinghe County, a group of Qinghe County constables had sealed up a medicine shop. A group of curious-looking commoners surrounded them. All of them stretched their necks, wanting to see what was happening inside.

Those who were closer to the medicine shop with a sharper sense of smell could still smell the faint smell of blood.

The shopkeeper of the pharmacy, Old Liu Zheng, had a bitter expression on his face, he explained to a constable, “Sir, this matter really has nothing to do with me! I have always had Ah Cai keep watch at the pharmacy. He has been keeping watch for several years, and nothing has happened for several years.”

“How would I know why something happened last night! Ah Cai is a very honest person, and I trust him very much, so I arranged for him to keep watch.”

“I have a relationship with him, so how could I be the one who killed him?”

“I... I have no reason to kill anyone!”

Old Liu’s hands were handcuffed by heavy black shackles, which weighed at least a few pounds.

His wrists were bruised and painful. His face was full of grievance.

“If I really did it, why would I report it to the police? This doesn’t make sense!”

Just as he was complaining about being wronged.

The commotion attracted everyone’s attention.

They saw–

Constable He was leading a group of bailiffs from the county office as they squeezed through the crowd of onlookers and walked over.

The most eye-catching person was Bai Yi, who was standing next to Constable He!

Bai Yi had an otherworldly temperament that was unique to Immortal cultivators.

It was really too eye-catching!

Moreover, Bai Yi would come here every month to collect rent. Many people in the market recognized him and knew that Bai Yi was a second generation who had inherited more than a dozen shops.

The person who was the most excited to see Bai Yi was undoubtedly the shopkeeper of the medicine shop, Old Liu.

Old Liu hurriedly said, “Young Master! Young Master Bai! You must to seek justice for me. I really didn’t do it! You also know that I have a very good relationship with Ah Cai. I would never kill Ah Cai!”

“Shut up!” The constable who interrogated Old Liu earlier glared at him with dissatisfaction.

Then, he revealed a rather flattering expression as he looked at Constable He and Bai Yi.

“Old he! Cultivator Bai!”

Although he was a County Magistrate like Constable He, because he was not an Immortal cultivator, his position in the County Magistrate was definitely not as high as that of Constable He.

From the way he addressed him, it could be seen that the news that Bai Yi was an Immortal cultivator was no longer a secret in the county magistrate.

That was true. There was no way to hide it.

It was extremely difficult to hide something like temperament.

Bai Yi nodded slightly at him as a response.

Constable He, on the other hand, frowned. He looked at the shackles in Old Liu’s hands and asked, “We haven’t confirmed that he is a murderer. Why are you handcuffing him?”

This sentence made the constable break out in cold sweat. He hurriedly asked someone to remove the shackles.

Old Liu, who was now free, quickly walked over.

He stood beside Bai Yi.

Bai Yi glanced at him.

To be honest, Constable He had said in the inn that a murder had occurred in the medicine shop. Bai Yi’s first reaction was that something had happened to Old Liu. At that time, his heart was filled with gloomy emotions.

At that time, he was still very weak. Faced with the threat from the Li Clan, Old Liu did not hesitate to stand by his side.

Bai Yi would always remember this.

If something happened to old Liu, then Bai Yi would make the murderer pay the price of blood no matter what.

Immortal cultivation was originally to let him live a more carefree life.

If he could endure such a thing, then what immortal cultivation was he going to do?

Chen Qianxue’s experience in the simulator showed that enduring was not feasible.

However, it was still okay. Old Liu still looked alive and kicking.

The person who died was an employee hired by Old Liu. His name was Ah Cai.

Bai Yi knew that Ah Cai, the pharmacy employee, was a very smart young man who was younger than him. He was only around ten years old this year. In his previous life, he could only be called a teenager.

At this moment, Old Liu’s aggrieved voice sounded again.

“Young Master Bai, I swear to God that I definitely did not kill Ah Cai! I woke up early today and went to the pharmacy. I found that the ground was covered in blood. There were also broken limbs, broken limbs, and many pieces of meat!”

“I thought something was wrong until... I found Ah Cai’s head in the innermost part of the pharmacy! Ah Cai’s head was cut in half from top to bottom! This is dismemberment!”

Old Liu’s tone was slightly frightened and uneasy. Seeing such a scene early in the morning, it was hard for him to forget and his heart trembled.

Looking at his snot and tears, Bai Yi could not help but move to the side.

He was worried that he would get too excited and get hit by his snot.

Bai Yi looked at Constable He and asked, “Constable He asked me to come here because he suspected that I had something to do with the murder case?”

“Indeed.”

Constable He seemed to be too straightforward.

He continued, “In that case, it might offend cultivator Bai. According to the County Coroner’s investigation, Ah Cai, the pharmacy assistant who was found dismembered, didn’t show any signs of struggle before he died. His eyes and expression were very blurred, as if someone had used a secret technique to invade his mind.”

“Other than some unique medicines, only Immortal cultivators can do this kind of thing. We found that among the people Ah Cai knows, only?are an Immortal cultivator.”

“In addition, our people have communicated with Ah Cai’s family. His family said that Ah Cai once complained at home that you, cultivator Bai, came from a rich family. He was jealous as he was poor and destitute. Although this isn’t direct evidence, it still proves that you’re a suspect, cultivator Bai.”

Constable He was as straightforward as ever. He said whatever was on his mind.
