"You've thrown me here to work. I've buried at least a thousand young spirits over the past few days. Anyone who isn't blind can tell something is wrong," Zhu Minglang said.
"Tell me, how much do you know?" Liu Cuo came over.
"Inspector Liu, do you remember the criminal who was interrogated with me? He was selling young spirits as meat," Zhu Minglang said.
"I do, the man's name is Chang Xu. His hands were severed by a god," Liu Cuo said.
"I don't think his crimes are that simple. If you investigate carefully, you will realize the man's crimes aren't as simple as his hands being severed. You should also investigate the Black Village Constable. As a Black Village Constable, there's no reason for him not to sentence Chang Xu unless he's really incompetent. He's purposely delaying the trial in hopes of offending Chang Xu. There might be some kind of deal between them," Zhu Minglang said to Liu Cuo.
Liu Cuo stared at Zhu Minglang blankly after hearing his words. It took him a while to collect his thoughts.
"You're just a funeral worker …"
"It's up to you whether to believe it or not. If it wasn't for the fact that you've come all the way here, it means you don't know anything. Why would I tell you all this? What happened at the Infant Spiritual Home has nothing to do with me. I'm the one who was punished by you. I don't have a good impression of the Infant Spiritual Home. It's just that I can't forgive the deaths of those young spirits, "Zhu Minglang said firmly.
Liu Cuo had indeed come all the way here.
Zhu Minglang's words confirmed some of Inspector Liu Cuo's speculations. It also answered some of Liu Cuo's doubts.
"I'll look into it as a reference. Your punishment is almost here. Perfect your morals after you leave here and cultivate diligently. Don't do anything that offends or deceives the gods. Do you understand? "Liu Cuo said.
"I'm a righteous person," Zhu Minglang said.
Liu Cuo glanced at the young man and left with a confused look.
…
…
Inspector Liu Cuo headed to the Infant Spiritual Home after being inspired by Zhu Minglang.
The young spirit market was in chaos. There were many black areas here. Liu Cuo purposely disguised himself as an ordinary merchant and blended into the shop.
"Brother Chang, your sleeves are empty. How are you going to fight a rabbit like a lion in the future? Hahaha." A butcher sitting at the side mocked.
"I've seen a deity and walked out alive under her eyes. Can you guys do it? It's just two arms. If they're gone, then so be it. We'll get rich and we'll get free and unfettered. When we've earned enough, we'll find an old deity to help me restore my arms!" Chang Xu said indifferently.
The woman beside him was pouring wine for him. Before she could flatter him after pouring wine, Chang Xu kicked the woman's leg.
"Can't you see that I don't have hands? Pick it up and feed it to me, you idiot!" Chang Xu said angrily.
"Brother Chang, we've collected a few good-looking ones from the funeral car today. They're very intelligent. We can sell them at the Young Dragons Restaurant for a good price," said a peddler at the side.
"They need more fodder. Give me something stronger this time. It's taking too long to earn money. When will they be able to reattach my arms?" Chang Xu said.
"Isn't it a little risky?"
"What are you afraid of? We have people on our side. Besides, didn't I come back safe and sound? Do you think you'll be able to see me if something happens? That woman, Bai Qingchen, is investigating the case herself. Even I managed to escape under such circumstances, not to mention that she's not even here. That woman doesn't have the time to care about these things. She's busy ascending to become a fairy!" Chang Xu said.
"Alright, I'll buy some more Sleeping Grass and transport a few beast carriages to different places. I'll make a fortune while Bai Qingchen is away!"
"It's fine if the dosage is a little higher. The ones that will fall asleep and die are most likely young spirits that don't have the chance to evolve into dragons. Those that are faking their deaths and dying are most likely real dragons! "Chang Xu said.
"Same rules, if the selected ones die on the way here, we'll sell them to the slaughterhouse?"
"Idiot, didn't I lose my arms just like that? The investigation has been very tight recently. There's no need to earn such a small amount of money. If they die, we'll just throw them away and bury them," Chang Xu said.
Liu Cuo pulled down the brim of his hat and listened to all of these words. Soon after, he left the shop.
This group of people was already so rampant that they didn't even bother to find a hidden place to talk about this kind of shady business. It was as if they were certain that the people of the Infant Dragon Institute wouldn't investigate this place.
Chang Xu used the method of a lizard breaking its tail to escape. He wasn't afraid because of this, but instead became even more presumptuous. He felt that even a god couldn't do anything to him.
This made Liu Cuo extremely angry.
A person that had already been tried and had his arms cut off. Under normal circumstances, the supervision wouldn't investigate him. Who would've thought that the crimes he revealed were only the tip of the iceberg!
… …
Liu Cuo didn't act rashly and alert the enemy. He followed Chang Xu's group and carried out a secret investigation.
A few days later, Liu Cuo discovered that the woman serving Chang Xu had gone to the Black Village Head's residence. He didn't know what she was offering …
At this point, Liu Cuo had already figured out how these people were taking advantage of the imperfect system of the Infant Spirit Institute to obtain huge profits and slaughter a large number of infant spirits.
After obtaining complete evidence and writing a complete document, Liu Cuo waited for Bai Qingchen to return and preside over the situation. After all, this involved people with positions like the Black Village Head in the Infant Spirit Institute.
However, Bai Qingchen seemed to have encountered an unexpected situation outside and would only return in about half a month.
Liu Cuo could only wait for another half a month.
… …
After arriving at the funeral garden, Liu Cuo found the youth that was burying the infant spirits as usual.
"I've already investigated the matter. Now, we just have to wait for our god to return. This time, we'll definitely make them pay the price!" Liu Cuo said.
"Is it the same as what I predicted?" Zhu Minglang asked.
"It's pretty close. However, there's one thing that's more hidden. That is, after the infant spirits die in their sleep, they'll be intercepted on their way to the funeral garden. They'll select the infant spirits that still have a bit of aura and so-called 'purity'. Then, they'll wash their stomachs and detoxify them before forcefully reviving them. Finally, they'll be sold in the market as reserve infant dragons. This is their shady method of stealing the infant spirits of the Infant Spirit Institute. Therefore, the people in charge of transporting the infant spirits have all been bribed." Liu Cuo explained the situation to Zhu Minglang.
"Using such a cruel method to filter out the infant spirits of the True Dragons. Only animals would do such a thing." Zhu Minglang coldly said.
"Our god is about to return. None of them will be able to escape." Liu Cuo said.
As he said that, Liu Cuo noticed a dragon that looked like a Nether Lion biting on a large round bone. It rolled over like a large cat. It seemed to have noticed Zhu Minglang and moved its large head over, looking like it wanted to be patted.
