dn't died yet, or surprised that he said something so foolish."What does this have to do with the State of Chu I've already left Chu. Haven't you been paying attention to such important matters"Dou ce...The next day, a group of seasoned detectives gathered in the courtyard.
Since the pursuit team was established, they would meet twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening, to pool clues and discuss the case. It's considered routine.
Sometimes Jiang Wang can participate, sometimes he cannot, often depending on the importance of the case.
When he came out today, he deliberately observed, Ma Xiong's expression was a little unnatural.
Apparently Yue Leng's methods were more frightening, even Ma Xiong, a fourth-rank blue plaque constable who had been dealing with punishments for years, found it difficult to adapt.

And Lin Youxie's expression remained unchanged. Whether it was her extraordinary willpower or the fact that she had long been accustomed to this, no one could tell.

The King of Mount Tai was still in the living room, and the screams had stopped at daybreak. It's unclear if he is dead or alive now.
After most of the people had arrived, Yue Leng wiped his hands carefully with a handkerchief and walked out slowly.
This action inevitably makes one wonder what kind of torture Yue Leng used these hands to inflict.
Ma Xiong looked around and frowned, "Where is Liu Jie Why isn't he here on time Is there any rule Shouldn't we let Yue Lord wait for him"
Liu Jie is one of the ten inner court ranking green-card head catchers.
Ma Xiong is a decent person, and he's considered quite supportive of his colleagues. He spoke up to reprimand first, precisely to protect Liu Jie and prevent Yue Leng from getting angry.
“I didn't see anyone when I passed by his room.” A young patrol officer said hesitantly.

This pursuit of the Hell's Gate was a mission that received attention even from Emperor Qi. It presented a good opportunity for promotion, but it was also very strict.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Every member of the pursuit team, excluding Jiang Wang, is subject to strict control. To say that anyone else dares to neglect their duties during an investigation is tantamount to not taking their future seriously.
All the people present were experienced card sharks, and they immediately realized something was wrong.

“When was the last time you saw Liu Jie” Yue Leng asked.
“It must have been yesterday.” The blue-badge Captain spoke again: “When you interrogated King Taishan yesterday, we all went back to our rooms. He lived next door to me.”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Yue Leng asked again, "Are you sure he didn't go out"
“I can only confirm that he did go back to his room yesterday. But whether he left after that, and where he went, I don't know.”
Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!
The chief constable spoke in a very formal manner.
All of them are cultivators within the Inner Palace, and they are colleagues. Generally, no one would keep an eye on each other all day long. If Liu Jie secretly went out, it would indeed be very difficult to find out.
Ma Xiong directly stated: "Liu Jie must have had an accident."
Yue Leng frowned and said nothing.
Liu Jie is also an experienced green badge, how could he leave his post silently at this time Did he find any clues If something happened to him, where would it happen
Amidst the discussions, people analyzed various possibilities.

Suddenly, someone from the Bei County's government came to report.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"The body of Liu Jie, a fifth-rank blue badge catcher, was found by the Zuo Zhu River. The county government has already sealed off the surrounding area. Do you lords wish to go and investigate"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Liu Jie's body was found by the Zhuzha River!
The pursuit team has been hunting down the Hell's Gate in Berkeley County recently and is no stranger to the River Probe.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
It was a small river, a tributary of the Zi River. It was said that in the early years, this river was rich in pearls, and many people became wealthy by collecting them. After many years, the pearls were gone, but the name of Tan Zhu He (探珠河) was preserved.
As the crow flies, they weren't too far from their current location. At a normal pace, it would take half an incense stick to make the round trip.
> The decision to seal off the perimeter of the county office and protect the scene for the arrival of the pursuit team was a wise one. After all, when it comes to investigating clues, no one in Beijun can compare to them.
But no matter what, Liu Jie's death inevitably cast a shadow over the manhunt.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
“Did Captain Liu die by the riverbank of Tan Zhu River, or did his body only appear there after death” Yue Leng’s question went straight to the point.
“This…” The man sent from the Beijun County Prefecture hesitated: “Or should someone from your side go take a look”
"What You guys from Bei County can't even confirm something like this Why don't you just take off the signboard then!" Ma Xiong said with displeasure.
Though the Green Card Head of Bai County couldn't compare to those from the Beiya, he wasn't incapable of making such basic judgments. He just dared not confirm it, fearing responsibility.
Ma Xiong, upon being confronted like this, could no longer shirk responsibility and said: "He died by the Pearl River."
“Liu Jie, I'm very clear, he's not a person who shirks his duty. The reason he went to the Zhuhe River must be that he found some clues.” Ma Xiong volunteered: "Lord Yue, I'll take people to have a look."
Yue Leng shook his head. "No. You all stay here. I'll go take a look myself."
Liu Jie's death at the edge of Lake Zhū is still unclear. However, it cannot be ruled out that it was a ploy by Hell's Gate to lure him away from his mountain. After all, King Taishan, the seventh of the Ten Kings of Hell, is currently being pursued by the authorities.
At the same time, clues from the Zhu River side cannot be ignored either. A Green Card Detective lost his life there; Captain Yue Leng wouldn't just turn a blind eye to that.
But if Liu Jie's death is truly related to the Hell Gate being closed, it would be very dangerous for Ma Xiong to lead a team there.
Yue Leng went to investigate the clues at the Zha Zhu River alone, while four foreign-floor elite Green Badge Heads stayed guard at the station. This was undoubtedly the most secure option.
Even if it were a desperate gambit like setting a tiger free from its mountain to lure it to hell, with four elite green-badge constables on guard, there was no need to worry about the outpost being easily breached. Furthermore, Yue Leng could return for reinforcements at any time, and even the county magistrate's office would not hesitate to lend support if they sensed anything amiss.
This is a paragraph. Please let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Getting out of hell is almost impossible, even for someone as powerful as the King of Mount Tai.
Don't forget, Bay County still has the Yan family. Former Prime Minister Yan Ping is recuperating at his ancestral home. If he were to be alarmed...
In conclusion, the pursuit team has a complete advantage, there's nothing to be too worried about.
Yue Leng acted swiftly and decisively. Once he made a decision, he would act immediately without hesitation.

And Ma Xiong also showed enough seniority and experience as a seasoned player. He immediately assigned tasks to everyone and personally moved a chair to sit at the entrance of the living room.
Other heads quickly dispersed, patroling patrols, standing guard on guard duty, well-trained.
The text between the > tags is:

However, from beginning to end, no one ever thought of taking a look at King Taishan.
Jiang Wang pondered for a moment, then made a quick decision. As others dispersed, he walked straight up to Ma Xiong and said, "Captain Ma, I'm leaving today."
Ma Xiong knew about Zheng Shi and Chong Xuan's deal, so he wasn't surprised. He just glanced at Jiang Wang: "Now"
“I’m very pressed for time, I can’t stay any longer.” Jiang Wang replied.
Of course, the real reason is not like that.
The capture of King Taishan and Liu Jie's death plunged the pursuit into a fierce climax. The atmosphere crackled with impending doom, like a storm gathering on the horizon.
Jiang Wang didn't want to get involved in this big mess, so he decided to leave early.
Of course, it also has something to do with Lin Youxie's eyes that seem to see right through people. He didn't want to reveal anything hidden.
Ma Xiong thought about it for a moment, and didn't make things difficult. He simply said: "When Yue Da returns, you can leave."
"Alright." Jiang Wang didn't bargain and turned back to his room to pack. Half a stick of incense or even shorter, he could wait.
But just as he had just stepped out of the courtyard, a sudden change occurred!
>
Ma Xiong was originally sitting on a chair, bathed in the morning sunlight. A shadow stretched out from his body onto the ground below.
Just at this moment, in this stretch of shadow, a pale hand suddenly reached out!
Cold and icy, silent and still.ndle everything, a wise ruler handles everything with virtue.”He kept it in mind.He not only dared to relinquish power, "to entrust everything to others," but also abandoned all he had, including this...
