Lu Wang reached out and gently pressed several spots on the young boy’s arm joints.
Then, with a somber expression, he nodded towards Feng Fuce.
"Sir, he fell to his death."
The forensic doctor sighed: "Yes, his ankle was broken from the fall, his body is in a terrible state, how pitiful!"
Feng Fuce gazed at the boy’s body.
He suddenly reached out: "Give a handkerchief."
The forensic doctor quickly handed his own handkerchief to Feng Fuce.
The young man used the handkerchief to press on the boy’s shoulder, gently leveraging to lift the boy’s body halfway up.
Feng Fuce freed one hand and picked up a long iron tool, slowly parting the boy’s hair at the nape of his neck.
The crowd suddenly gasped.
Feng Fuce narrowed his long eyes, which were as dark as ink.
The forensic doctor, accustod to corpses, was also startled.
"This... this isn’t a human fingerprint, is it?!"
It turned out that on the back of the boy’s neck was a three-clawed green-purple bruise.
Feng Fuce slightly tilted his head, his cold eyes noticing a corresponding bruise on the boy’s front neck.
At first, it wasn’t discovered because his body was covered with bruises from the fall, leading the forensic doctor to believe the mark on the front of his neck was just a bruise.
The mark on the back of the neck was hidden by hair, so it went unnoticed.
The bruises on the boy’s neck clearly showed that before he died, he was grabbed by the so-called thief by the neck.
But who has only four fingers?
And they were incredibly thick.
The forensic doctor was in a panic and looked at Feng Fuce: "Marquis, could it be that..."
This was the work of a demon!
Feng Fuce remained expressionless as he gently laid the boy down and then walked to the fire pit, throwing the handkerchief into it.
With a crackling sound, the fire devoured the handkerchief.
Lu Wang furrowed his brow, also sensing sothing unusual.
Feng Fuce instructed the governnt officials.
"Issue each night patrol servant with a bow and arrow, and make sure the arrowheads are soaked in anesthetic or kerosene."
"If you see a large, bird-like black shadow, shoot imdiately without hesitation."
The governnt officials followed orders, nodding repeatedly.
Afterwards, Feng Fuce washed his hands.
The white, defined hands had a white mutton-fat White Jade Ring on the thumb, making the fingers look even longer.
The governnt officials all felt the situation was serious and busily strengthened the security and increased patrols.
Lu Wang moved to Feng Fuce’s side, lowering his voice to inquire: "Lord Demon, this claw mark seems to be..."
Feng Fuce calmly responded with a slight "Hmm": "Demon bird."
According to the Classic of Mountains and Seas, there is a kind of demon bird nad Gu Huo, known for stealing human children.
They are enormous and lack human nature, yet hold an obsessive fascination for mortal children, regardless of gender.
Therefore, they were sealed in the Demon-locking Tower by the Heavenly Dao thousands of years ago and forbidden from wreaking havoc in the Human World.
The demon birds have remained compliant for thousands of years, so why have they suddenly appeared in the Capital?
Feng Fuce’s eyes were deep as he turned to Lu Wang and said, "These days, you don’t need to follow . Stay by Bai Zhi’er’s side when I’m not around to protect her."
Lu Wang paused: "Sir, ?"
The young man lightly flicked the water droplets from his hand.
"Yes, you. I see you’ve beco quite familiar with A ruo. With you by Bai Zhi’er’s side, I’m at ease."
ntioning A ruo, Lu Wang recalled the incident witnessed by Guoguo that day.
His dark complexion suddenly turned red.
"Sir, it’s not like Guoguo said; A ruo and I did not embrace!"
Feng Fuce gave him an odd look: "When did I say you embraced?"
Lu Wang: ...
Now he understood what it ant to make things more complicated by explaining further.
