As long as they were suspects, they had to be taken away and guarded strictly.

They had made no progress at the moment, and the people were in a panic. Now that they finally had a suspect, they naturally could not let her go.

Bai Xu frowned.

The manager of the Humen Escort Agency was unhappy when he heard that. He immediately said, “Our Miss Bai Xu has always been in the Escort Agency and has never left. When she eats raw meat, she buys chickens, ducks, and animals. Besides, everyone who has seen that demon said that the demon is tall and strong. This doesn’t match Miss Bai Xu no matter what.”

Jiang Zhengjun immediately reprimanded, “She has never left? Could it be that some of you are eating and sleeping with Miss Bai Xu? There are people with her 24 hours a day? And since we’re after a demon, it’s not impossible for her to change her gender. We’re not going to convict her. We’re just moving Miss Bai Xu to a secure place. We’ll naturally let her back after we verify it.”

The manager of the Humen Escort Agency gritted his teeth. He had no way to refute these words. He looked at Bai Xu helplessly and said, “Miss Bai, we believe you. If you’re unwilling, our Humen Escort Agency will naturally protect you.”

As the manager, he had to protect everyone in the Escort Agency, but for the sake of everyone, he had to let Bai Xu make the choice.

Su Xiaolu looked at Bai Xu. She knew too little about Bai Xu, but according to her previous understanding, Bai Xu should not be so obedient. She would naturally fall out with him.

However, to Su Xiaolu’s surprise, Bai Xu only said calmly, “I’ll go with them. That insolent murderer won’t stop so quickly. I’ll be able to prove my innocence if I go. This won’t hurt me.”

Bai Xu did not flare up. She was very cooperative.

She decided to cooperate and not make a fuss. The manager of the Humen Escort Agency was deeply gratified, but he also wanted to let people know that the people from their Escort Agency were not easy to bully. Hence, the manager said to Jiang Zhengjun coldly, “Miss Bai Xu is kind-hearted to cooperate with you in your investigation. Our Humen Escort Agency can also cooperate, but once a new case appears, you have to let her go.”

Bai Xu was cooperative and sensible. She was a very good partner of the Escort Agency and they would not abandon her.

Jiang Zhengjun looked at Bai Xu and nodded. “As long as it’s not her, we’ll naturally let her go.”

He took Bai Xu away because she was suspicious, but if it was not her, it would be useless to arrest her.

“Uncle Niu, I’m fine. Don’t worry.”

Bai Xu smiled at the manager. Niu Yan was in his thirties. As the manager of the Escort Agency, he had read many books and was a High Scholar. He was in charge of a series of matters in the Escort Agency. He was strict when it came to serious matters and was usually very gentle.

She wandered around and finally decided to settle down here. Part of the reason she joined the Humen Escort Agency was because of Niu Yan. She felt the care of an elder from him.

In the past few months, her heart had calmed down and she had figured out many things that she couldn’t understand in the past. In the past, she definitely wouldn’t have spoken so calmly and agreed to this today, but now, she could do it.

Su Xiaolu was also surprised by her change. Bai Xu was in a good mood. She followed Jiang Zhengjun’s men to the side.

Jiang Zhengjun brought Bai Xu away. The people from the Escort Agency stopped what they were doing and followed him out.

“Miss Bai, we’ll pick you up in a few days.”

Looking at Bai Xu, a few people spoke.

Bai Xu smiled and waved her hand in agreement. “Sure.”

Su Xiaolu looked at Bai Xu. Bai Xu had really changed a lot. The hostility in her body had disappeared.

Bai Xu was calm. She did not avoid her special ability and was not afraid of being suspected.

Fa Le asked Su Xiaolu softly, “Aunt, do you think it’s her?”

Su Xiaolu shook her head without hesitation. “No.”

She did not know much about Bai Xu, but at this moment, her intuition told her that Bai Xu was not the murderer.

Fa Le sighed.

Fa Yin also said helplessly in a low voice, “If it’s not her, then someone else will be in danger.”

Bai Xu glanced sideways at Su Xiaolu and suddenly asked, “If you’re sure that I’m not the murderer, can I help you catch the murderer?”

Bai Xu looked at the two bald monks beside Su Xiaolu and thought that every time she saw Su Xiaolu, the people around her were different. It was really strange for them to call her aunt.

Jiang Zhengjun looked at Bai Xu. This girl’s eyes were magnanimous and she did not look guilty at all. She was also a capable girl. Jiang Zhengjun nodded and said, “I would be very grateful to have your help.”

Bai Xu nodded slightly and did not say anything else.

Jiang Zhengjun brought Bai Xu back to the office and found a maidservant to follow her closely. Then, he continued to investigate any abnormalities in the city.

From the time Miss Qiu Ran had an accident last night, to the search of the city, to finding Bai Xu, the sky was already bright. No one could sleep the entire night.

Su Xiaolu also brought Fa Yin and Fa Le around.

When they went to an inn for lunch at noon, they heard the customers talking about the demon.

“The person who’s targeted this time is actually Minister Zhang, who’s rich and powerful. He has two unmarried daughters. How unlucky.”

“I heard that the demon specializes in choosing the daughters of rich families to eat. At this moment, poor people like us are extremely lucky.”

“The government has sent so many people to protect those two daughters. They should be able to catch them this time. Old Master Qiu made a mistake last night. They can only blame themselves for causing trouble.”

“I still hope that they can catch him quickly. The rich are all smart. If it’s hard for them to catch it, ordinary people like us will be the ones to suffer.”

“Aunt, a new target has appeared. Let’s go back after eating,” Fa Yin said to Su Xiaolu.

There were new targets. It was time for them to understand, deploy, and partic.i.p.ate in the protection.

This time, they must not let anything happen again.

Su Xiaolu nodded. The three of them ate faster.

After eating, the three of them returned to the government office and then went to the Zhang family’s house. Minister Zhang’s daughters were called Zhang Xuerou and Zhang Xueyu. One was 15 and the other was 13. The two sisters lived in the same courtyard. The claw mark left by the demon was at the entrance of the courtyard. For now no one could guess which girl had been chosen.

Because they didn’t know, Zhang Xuerou and Zhang Xueyu were both in danger. The older sister, Zhang Xuerou, could still barely maintain her composure. She didn’t cry, but her face was pale. The younger sister, Zhang Xueyu, couldn’t help but tremble and cry because she was too afraid.

When Su Xiaolu and the others arrived, Jiang Zhengjun had already brought people to check. He frowned.

Minister Zhang looked terrified. Madam Zhang wiped her tears worriedly and looked at Jiang Zhengjun with hope. “Lord Jiang, we will definitely cooperate well. Please do your best to protect my two daughters.”

She had raised them painstakingly and carried them for ten months before giving birth. Now that they were targeted by a demon, her heart was broken. How did her two beautiful daughters catch the eye of that demon? Madam Zhang’s heart ached as tears fell like rain.
