Chapter 136 Reward
Clah—
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 are bound by heavy steel shackles,
The wounds on his body were bleeding continuously, and there were bursts of stabbing pain,
The muddled 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 supervision.
The Zhen Fusi quickly found all the evidence in the mansion, together with Mrs. Huai's confusing testimony, it was enough to judge Huai Rui's role in this incident.
The identity and privileges of Kanebu Langzhong 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 weirdo is wearing the dragon head and taking away the blue and black stone statue"
Things have come to this point, Huai Rui has no hope of successfully getting rid of the crime 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, sitting behind the table
Using the hoarse voice like fingernails scratching glass, he asked calmly: "Tell me about your blue and black stone statue and the method of using the stone statue to make a specimen of a fluke person.
Was it taught to you by an alchemist you met five years ago in Quzhou, Jiannan Dao? "
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.
During the years before and after the second year, you only went to Luoyang as far as you could.
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 a Yuelai restaurant at the head of the 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 recall, 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.
The commander of the Zhenfu Division, Lin Hongbo, 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?"
At that time, we will notify our colleagues in the Rongzhou Dudu Mansion to check whether what Huai Rui said is true. "
The prison officer with a sallow face 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.
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, 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."
Lin Hongbo ordered casually, looked at the last portrait of an alchemist, and fell silent.
That is, the portrait of Jun Qianzi.
——
Didn't know that Li Ang, who was already on the Zhenfu Department's most wanted list as a leading weirdo, has been silently waiting for news since returning home, observing how the Zhenfu Department handles this matter.
Things were indeed going as he thought. The Department of Zhenfu described the collapse of Jinbu Huai Langzhong's mansion as a failure of maintenance due to years of disrepair.
Huai Rui himself was unfortunately crushed to death, while his mother and servants in the house were still alive.
"It seems that the Zhenfu Department has also found out the connection between Huai Rui himself and the mutation, and it is estimated that he has been locked in a dungeon and tortured 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 the 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, during the outbreak of the mutation, only Huai Rui and the burly monk called Brother Wei died, 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 Zhenfu Department should not be able to track him down.
Scholar and others have been walking in 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 to study 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 first activated the moss, formed a spherical shape, covered the whole body, and then took the stone statue out of the moss.
"Inexplicably, there is a déjà vu feeling of hiding under the quilt and playing with a gb handheld."
Li Ang shook his head, picked up the stone statue with his ink silk tentacles and looked at it carefully.
The stone statue itself is rough in workmanship, and it can barely be seen that it is a baby crouching and hugging itself.
There is an imperceptible hole on the sole of its feet.
"There is no aura fluctuation, and the low-level demon-subduing talisman I drew myself has no response. Moreover, Mosi's throbbing to this stone statue is also different from [Spiritual Paper]."
Li Ang squinted his eyes and thought, "For [Ouija Paper], it's more like nostalgia. But for this stone statue, it's like seeing food, and I'm so hungry."
