Zhuque County.

Mi Qi and Mian Cheng were already standing in front of the inn.

"Tongle Inn is right here." Mian Cheng glanced at the signboard above and said slowly.

At this time, the innkeeper had already trotted out to greet him.

"Captain Mi, please sit inside quickly." Qu Lifu, the manager of Tongle Inn, quickly welcomed the two of them inside.

"Is this the room they live in?" Mian Cheng said calmly.

"Not just this one, there are three in total, one of which is occupied by a woman alone, and two others share." Qu Lifu, the manager of Tongle Inn, said with a smile on his face.

"How long have they lived?" Mian Cheng asked.

"About three months, which is considered to be a relatively long stay among the residents in our store." Qu Lifu said.

This is not just nonsense on his part.

Although there are many inns throughout Zhuque County, the cost of staying in them is still relatively high. Ordinary people will only stay for a short period of one or two days at most for emergencies, and it is unlikely that they will stay for a long time.

Those who can stay in the inn for a long time are mostly wealthy businessmen, or they are the children of wealthy gentry families.

"Open the door, go in and take a look..."

"By the way, has the house been tidied up?" Mian Cheng stopped.

Qu Lifu smiled awkwardly and said: "I tidied it up briefly. I didn't know the situation at that time."

"He who does not know does not sin, just open the door."

Mian Cheng raised his hand. He had no intention of holding Qu Lifu accountable. He was rigorous and meticulous in his work, but he was by no means an unreasonable person. His behavior was always reasonable.

Qu Lifu took the key and opened the lock on the outside of the door himself.

Then, with both hands, he slowly pushed the wooden door open.

"It's quite clean." Mian Cheng glanced at it and said.

Qu Lifu stretched out his hand and rubbed the center of his brows, laughed dryly and said: "Captain Mi, the handyman in our store is quite agile at work and cleans up pretty quickly."

"I know that young man. He works very quickly." Mian Cheng nodded in agreement.

What Mian Cheng said meant that he would not pursue the fault of the handyman. At the same time, it also hinted to Qu Lifu not to cause trouble for the handyman.

While Mian Cheng was speaking, he had already stepped into the room.

He walked around and couldn't help but lower his head and look around the corner.

Mickey stood outside and did not go in. She was afraid of disturbing Mian City.

When it comes to how to find clues, she is far inferior to the great catcher in Mian City.

The title of "Magic Detective" is not earned casually. It requires successfully handling many strange and important cases and finally being recognized.

When it comes to handling cases, Mi Qi can't even keep up with Mian City.

But in terms of martial arts cultivation, she is slightly better than Mian Cheng. After all, she was taught by a famous teacher and learned extremely advanced martial arts.

Mian City is in a county town, and all the people he comes into contact with are ordinary martial arts, and the difference here cannot be calculated.

"What did you find?"

Mi Qi saw Mian Cheng stop at the table.

"Powder!"

Mian Cheng placed his fingers next to the gap in the table and said slowly.

Mickey followed quickly.

"It's indeed medicinal powder."

Mickey looked carefully along the gap and saw that there was fine powder of medicine attached to the edge of the gap.

She secretly admired Mian Cheng's observation ability.

He found such a small amount of medicinal powder in the cracks of the table.

"Go and have a look in another room." Mian Cheng walked outside.

Another room is nearby.

They don't need to change places, they just need to walk through a long corridor and arrive at another room.

There is no need for Qu Lifu to say anything here, the room is also organized in an orderly manner.

Originally, it was a good thing that handymen were diligent and quick in doing things, but in this situation, being too diligent would actually be a disadvantage.

"I'll go in and take a look."

Mian Cheng was the first to enter the room. After wandering around, he pointed to the inside edge of the bed and said, "There is also medicinal powder here, but it is not the same kind of medicinal powder."

Mickey went in and took a look.

The medicinal powder here is very different from the medicinal powder in the previous room in terms of color.

"Both types of medicinal powder were found on the person from the Black Lotus Sect."

"One of them is used to fascinate people and erase memories. The other one should be a special kind of poison, but I don't know what it is used for." Mian Cheng said.

"That's right. Ecstasy Gu can erase short-term memories, but it will partially damage people's spirits. There is another special kind of poison, which is designed to deal with Wang Ling's wife."

"Didn't that Black Lotus cultist say that he wants Zhang Liang's blood?"

"The blood of people born on the yin year, yin month, yin day, and of different status and age is used as a medicine. The poison powder is used to poison people, leaving almost no trace. It looks exactly like someone who is seriously ill."

Mickey said slowly.

Based on the existing information, this is the result of Mickey's guess.

"If you kill innocent people, no matter what their identity is, I will work hard to track them down and bring them to justice!" Mian Cheng's eyes narrowed slightly, with a cold light in his eyes.

The Black Lotus Sect is powerful, so what?

He can't see or touch people who kill people randomly in other places, so he can't control them.

But killing people indiscriminately in Zhuque County means killing people within his jurisdiction. He cannot remain indifferent and sit idly by.

"Mi Datou, where are we going now?"

Mickey asked.

"Go to another place and show you something."

Mian City Road.

"Okay." Mickey nodded.

Since Mian City takes things so seriously, something like that must be extremely important.

After leaving the Tongle Inn, Mian Cheng took Mi Qi through twists and turns, and finally came to a courtyard.

This courtyard looks very ordinary on the surface, nothing weird about it.

However, once you enter, you will find that there is something else inside.

"How did you dig the tunnel here? This is amazing!"

From one of the houses, she found the entrance to the bottom, and then Mian Cheng took her into the tunnel.

The tunnel below is very spacious and well-ventilated from the outside world.

Mi Qi made a visual inspection and found that at least a hundred soldiers could be hidden here, and living there for several months would not be a problem. This shows how spacious the tunnels here are.

"This used to be a gang compound."

"There was internal strife among the gangs. I accidentally saved the gang leader, and the gang leader told me this secret place. Later, I built it into a secret place." Mian Cheng said.

"Is it this tunnel you want to show me, or is it something else?"

Mickey asked.

"It's an account book."

Mian Cheng opened the door and entered a room.

The light in the underground room is very dark, and Mian City needs to light a candle to barely see clearly.

"This is it."

Mian Cheng pointed to the tall stack of books in front of him and said.

"So many, all account books?" Mickey was surprised.
