Ask Sword

clatter——

Cold water mixed with ice cubes was splashed on Huai Rui's face, waking up this promising Jinbu doctor again.

"ho, ho"

Huai Rui sprayed out the ice water in his nose, breathing hard,

Wrists and ankles bound by heavy steel shackles,

The wounds on his body were bleeding continuously, and there were bursts of stabbing pain.

The bewildered brain barely recalled the previous experience.

This is Zhenfusi Dungeon,

He was knocked out by the monster with the dragon head, and then he was taken to Zhenfusi Prison for strict surveillance.

The Zhen Fusi quickly found all the evidence in the mansion, together with Mrs. Huai's topsy-turvy testimony, it was enough to determine Huai Rui's role in this incident.

The identity and privileges of Doctor Jinbu are completely invalid in the prison.

He was fed Gu worms, tortured in a dazed state, and told everything he knew.

"I've told you everything I know. I really don't know who that strange man with the dragon head and the black stone statue was."

At this point, Huai Rui has no hope of being exonerated and regaining his official status. He only wants to die quickly and avoid torture.

"That's not it."

The prison officer of the Zhenfu Division, with a dead face and a sallow face, sat behind the table

With a hoarse voice like fingernails scratching glass, he asked calmly: "Tell me about your blue and black stone statue and the method of using stone statues to make specimens of Yanji people.

Was it taught to you by an alchemist I met in Quzhou, Jiannan Road five years ago? "

Huai Rui said: "Yes. I met him at the head of the Jinhe Bridge in Quzhou, and I paid him to give me a divination to see my future career. He gave me the stone statue and told me how to make a fluke. The method of human specimens. I thought this method was too evil and wanted to throw away the stone statue, but I don’t know why I didn’t throw it away, and I never saw that alchemist again afterwards.”

"."

The prison officer stared at him indifferently for a long time, and with a snap, he took out a large stack of files from the stool beside him and slapped them on the table, "Five years ago, that is, two years after Xianhe, you worked as a secretary in the Chang'an Household Department. The position of Ling Shi. He did not leave the range of fifty miles of Chang'an City for a whole year.

In the years before and after the second year, you only went to Luoyang the farthest,

All the history of passage is recorded in writing at various gates.

You have never been to Quzhou in your life. "

"What?"

Huai Rui was shocked, "How come, I remember it very clearly"

The prison officer said indifferently: "Quzhou belongs to the Governor's Mansion of Rongzhou and governs Zhuti County. As the secretary of the household department of Chang'an City, what reason do you have to go there?"

"but."

Huai Rui hugged his head, and said in a panic: "As I remember, Jinhe Bridge is a stone bridge, and there are stone lions on the guardrails on both sides of the bridge, holding or stepping on balls.

There is Jiayuelai Restaurant at the head of Jinhe Bridge, and the wine flag of the restaurant is deep red.

That alchemist set up a fortune-telling booth in front of the wine flag."

Huai Rui hugged his head and struggled to remember, the more he recalled, the paler his face became - he really couldn't remember why he went to Quzhou, nor when did he go.

The prison officer stood up silently holding the file, left the secret room, walked through the cold corridor, and came to another room.

Lin Hongbo, the commander of the Zhen Fu Division, sat behind the table, concentrating on reading the on-site report and analysis submitted by his subordinates, and asked without raising his head, "What did he say?"

"The memory of being knocked out by the leader and taking away the blue and black stone statue is real. The memory of meeting the alchemist is false. It may be a fake memory instilled with alienated objects or dreams.

At that time, the colleagues in Rongzhou Dudufu will be notified and asked them to check whether what Huai Rui said is true. "

The prison officer with a sallow complexion took out dozens of portraits from the file and put them on the table, "This is the portrait Huai Rui drew after being implanted with Gu insects and losing consciousness.

They are the beggars in Chang'an City that he devoured with ghouls and aliens;

The four rain-listening monks who accepted the entrustment;

leader;

And the alchemist in his memory. "

I don't know how to draw these portraits, but they are all lifelike.

Lin Hongbo glanced at it, and said: "Take the portrait of the beggar secretly to the beggar in Chang'an City, and let him distinguish the authenticity.

As for the remaining three monks who are still alive, they secretly issued a reward, and contacted Kou Zhian in the ghost city, asking him to help us find clues. "

"What about the leader?"

The prison officer asked: "Do you want to pursue it?"

"Well. He took away the blue and black stone statue. Let's also put a reward of 10,000 guan. It is marked as a body-refining monk, and it is suspected to be a high-level rain-listening realm."

Lin Hongbo ordered casually, looked at the last portrait of an alchemist, and fell silent.

That is, the portrait of Jun Qianzi.

Li Ang, who didn't know that he was already on the Zhenfu Division's most wanted list as a leading weirdo, has been silently waiting for news since returning home, observing how the Zhenfu Division handles this matter.

Things were going exactly as he thought. The Zhen Fusi described the collapse of Jinbu Huai's mansion as a failure of repairs and a self-destructive collapse.

Huai Rui himself was unfortunately crushed to death, while his mother and servants in the house were still alive.

"It seems that the Zhen Fusi has also found out the connection between Huai Rui himself and the mutation, and probably put him in a dungeon and tortured him to extract a confession."

Li Ang thought silently, that blue and purple baby can create a ghost domain, which is at least a third-level heterogeneity according to its level, and it needs a cloud patrolling monk to solve it.

It is definitely a big event for this level of alien to appear in Chang'an City.

Fortunately, only Huai Rui and the burly monk called Brother Wei died during the outbreak, otherwise a large number of people would lose their official positions.

"I don't know if the scholar and the dwarf have escaped."

Li Ang thought about it casually. His ink silk form can effectively block all smells, so he doesn't have to worry about the tracking of the Zhenfusi dog.

Moreover, it can also block the detection of spiritual power, and the Zhen Fusi should not be able to track him down.

Scholar and others have been walking the rivers and lakes for so long, maybe there is a way to escape the hunt, right? For example, absconding into a ghost city to avoid the limelight or something.

Now that Huai Rui has been arrested and brought to justice, Li Ang can finally start studying the blue and black stone statue.

In order to prevent the stone statue itself from causing mutations, he did not take it out in a hurry, but activated the black silk first, forming a spherical shape, covering the whole body, and then took the stone statue out of the black silk.

"Inexplicably, there is a sense of déjà vu playing with a gb handheld while hiding under the quilt."

Li Ang shook his head, and picked up the stone statue with his ink silk tentacles to examine it carefully.

The stone statue itself is rough in workmanship, and it can barely be seen that it is a baby curled up and hugging itself.

There is an imperceptible hole on the sole of its foot.

"There is no aura fluctuation, and the low-level demon-subduing talisman I drew didn't respond. Moreover, Mosi's throbbing to this stone statue is also different from [Spiritual Paper]."

Li Ang narrowed his eyes and thought, "For the [Psychic Paper], it's more like nostalgia. But for this stone statue, it's like seeing food, and I'm so hungry."
