Chapter 75: The Demon Suppression Division invites you to drink tea [Please vote and read on]
The Demon Suppression Division is responsible for catching demons and monsters, protecting the country and the people.
At first glance, this kind of government office must have a good reputation among the people and be loved by the people, but the fact is that it has mixed reviews.
In fact, the Demon Suppression Bureau in many places has a very bad reputation.
From the wealthy to the common people, everyone fears him like a tiger.
In the eyes of many people, the Demon Suppression Bureau itself is more terrifying than the so-called demons and evil spirits.
The reason is simple. Matters involving demons and the extraordinary powers of ghosts and gods are often extremely urgent. The Demon Suppression Offices in various places are directly under the General Office and are not under the jurisdiction of local governments. They have the power to patrol and arrest, and are engaged in reconnaissance, arrest, and interrogation without going through local departments. They have their own prisons and are extremely powerful.
If a person is armed with a "powerful weapon" and lacks supervision from above, he will become a ferocious beast that will devour human flesh and suck the marrow from human bones.
Unless ordinary people encounter demons or evil spirits and take the initiative to report to the police, if they meet people from the Demon Suppression Bureau on the road, they will be startled and frightened even if they have nothing to hide.
After all, no matter whether you have a guilty conscience or not, once you go to the prison of the Demon Suppression Division, even if you don’t have one, they can create one for you.
If one is not careful, you will lose a lot of skin and all your property if you don’t die.
Not to mention, Qiu Zhen is one of those people who has something to hide.
He is a cultivator and a "demon" in the eyes of the Demon Suppression Bureau. Once discovered, he will be in great trouble.
Revealed?
Qiu Zhen's distracting thoughts flashed through his mind, and he quickly calmed down. As if nothing had happened, he bowed to the four martial artists from the Demon Suppression Division:
"I wonder what the brothers from the Demon Suppression Division can do for you?"
"Nothing, our captain invited Doctor Qiu to our Demon Suppression Division for a cup of tea."
The leading martial artist named Ye probably also realized that something was wrong and that it might easily lead to misunderstanding, so he immediately added:
"Sir, I should look familiar to you. We met a few days ago. We have no ill will towards each other. I have something to ask you."
Qiu Zhen looked the other person up and down and did have some impression of him.
The last time our neighbor Uncle Li met the "Master Yanshan", the people from the Demon Suppression Bureau were among them.
Although he didn't know what was going on, after thinking about it carefully, he was not worried.
He became a disciple of Pharmacist An and had a backer. In addition, he had been providing free medical services every day in recent days and had gained a little fame in Qingmu City. Even if a person like him was exposed, the Demon Suppression Division would not easily take action without solid evidence, for fear of bad influence.
Now, in public, he suddenly came to my door.
Qiu Zhen calmed down a little, and said with a smile:
"Whenever you invite people to the Demon Suppression Division, you always invite them for tea."
The martial artist surnamed Ye also knew the reputation of the Demon Suppression Division among the people and smiled awkwardly:
"Little Doctor Qiu, you are too kind. How dare we disrespect you? The villagers will not cause trouble for us. Let's drink tea, the best Mingqian tea."
Seeing that the other party had a kind attitude and that the people nearby were talking about him, and some people even recognized him, Qiu Zhen quickly figured out what was going on.
Doing good deeds by providing free medical treatment brings reputation, which is often a talisman. People tend to be more inclined towards him, and if something really happens, Pharmacist An will also know about it, so the situation is not too bad.
And if nothing serious happened, his overreaction would easily attract the attention of the Demon Suppression Division.
Immediately, Qiu Zhen nodded and left with a group of martial artists from the Demon Suppression Division.
In the Demon Suppression Division, a temporary government office outside the city, groups of craftsmen were busy building houses.
After the publication of Qingmu Xianji, disputes continued to ensue. The focus of Changle Prefecture's Demon Suppression Division has apparently shifted to Qingmu City. Looking at the construction site, one can tell that it is a large undertaking.
Rumor has it that the commander of the Changle Demon Suppression Division intends to personally take charge of Qingmu. This must not be a randomly fabricated rumor, but a true fact.
As soon as Qiu Zhen arrived at the Demon Suppression Division's office, he sensed several powerful auras.
However, he did not dare to look any further. He closed his spiritual consciousness and five senses and followed the martial artist named Ye to a dilapidated but relatively intact courtyard.
A group of martial artists and clerks from the Demon Suppression Division were coming and going, in a hurry and very busy.
"Boss, we have invited Dr. Qiu."
The martial artist named Ye shouted towards the courtyard and took Qiu Zhen into a side courtyard.
Inside the house, a burly martial artist was flipping through a file. When he saw a group of people coming in, he stood up to greet them:
"Little Divine Doctor Qiu, we meet again."
Qiu Zhen also recognized the other person. It was Wu Chuanfeng, the captain of the Demon Suppression Division whom he met last time. He immediately bowed and saluted:
"Greetings, Captain Wu." "Sir, no need to be polite. Please take a seat."
Wu Chuanfeng led Qiu Zhen to sit down and ordered someone to serve tea.
It is really the best Mingqian tea.
Wu Chuanfeng smiled and said politely:
"I have invited Dr. Qiu to come to my house to ask you something. Please forgive me if I have been rude."
"Serious words."
Qiu Zhen looked calm, but he was worried in his heart. He said calmly:
"Captain Wu, please speak frankly."
Wu Chuanfeng smiled heartily, but soon his expression turned serious again:
"Then I'll be frank. A few days ago, some evil spirits disguised themselves as disaster victims and sneaked in to seek medical advice from you. I wonder if Little Doctor Qiu noticed it?"
Qiu Zhen was secretly shocked.
The Demon Suppression Division found out so quickly?
He remembered that the two people who sought medical treatment in the pharmacy that day were an old man and a young boy, and the old man and the middle-aged strong man ambushed him from behind, but the girl was nowhere to be seen.
Could it be that the girl was caught?
If this is the case, the situation is not good.
Qiu Zhen's thoughts raced, but she didn't show any panic on her face. Instead, she frowned and said unhappily:
"In the first half of the month, there were countless victims and many people came to me for treatment. I only practiced medicine and treated patients. I didn't have the time or ability to distinguish whether it was a demon or evil spirit. Could it be that Captain Wu suspected that I was colluding with demons and evil spirits?"
"Don't get excited, Doctor Qiu. Don't misunderstand us. We mean well."
Seeing Qiu Zhen's unfriendly tone, Wu Chuanfeng smiled bitterly, feeling a little helpless.
But, I understand.
There is no other reason. In the eyes of many people, the Demon Suppression Division is a den of dragons and tigers. If they are summoned suddenly, everyone will be alert.
Immediately, Wu Chuanfeng explained:
"It's like this. Last night we captured a group of Taoists in the mountains. After some torture, we found out that there are still evil remnants in the city. Among them, a master who has cultivated into a Yin God was injured and hid in the city. This person went to Qingmu Medicine Shop and sought treatment from Doctor Qiu. Thanks to your superb medical skills, he suppressed his evil thoughts and did not go astray."
"I asked Dr. Qiu to come here because I wanted to ask if anyone familiar came to seek medical treatment privately in the past few days?"
They showed up at our door last night and turned to ashes.
“Never.”
Qiu Zhen secretly complained in his heart, pretending to be a little nervous:
"Could it be that Captain Wu wants me to be a bait to lure out the remaining evil spirits?"
"That's not it."
Wu Chuanfeng shook his head, somewhat disappointed:
"Since no one took action in the past few days and their companions were captured last night, the remaining remnants must be like frightened birds and dare not move. Sir, there is no need to worry."
"That's good."
Qiu Zhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
If the Demon Suppression Division really asked him to assist in the investigation, it would be difficult for him to refuse. At that time, he would feel uncomfortable with people from the Demon Suppression Division following him.
"It's okay."
"Haha~ It's not like I have nothing to ask for help from the little divine doctor Qiu."
Qiu Zhen was speechless. He couldn't finish his words in one go and failed to tease me.
"Captain Wu, why don't you just speak frankly?"
"Hahaha~"
Wu Chuanfeng looked Qiu Zhen up and down, and then his face lit up:
"Little Doctor Qiu is really a great doctor. He can even suppress the evil thoughts of the Yin God master. I wonder if you are willing to come to our Demon Suppression Division for treatment. As you know, we often deal with demons and evil spirits, and it is inevitable that the brothers will be contaminated with evil spirits."
