Demoness, Where Are You Fleeing To?

Chapter 144 Your idea of ​​handling the case is wrong

After all the ice sculptures in the courtyard were unsealed one by one and the follow-up matters were properly handled, Sima Tianyuan and the eunuch left in a hurry.

Just because a place like the imperial palace has always been a place where Yin energy is deep and the evil power is stagnant.

It's okay when there are people living there. The royal family members are the people's hope, and the dragon energy in their body can naturally ward off all evils. But once there are no people in the palace, the evil spirits inside will attract all kinds of monsters and ghosts.

Therefore, there must be an expert here to take care of things at all times to keep the palace clean.

This time it was also because there was too much noise in the imperial prison, and Sima Tianyuan and the others were worried about evil spirits causing trouble here. Otherwise, these two people would not be able to leave for a moment.

But before leaving, Sima Tianyuan patted Li Xuan's shoulder heavily in private, and said in a very appreciative tone: "Well done, you have given us the face of the Sixth Path Director. The group of internal police officers have been thinking about saying goodbye to us all day long. Miaotou, you have slapped them in the face this time, at least they will not be able to get crazy in the next year or two."

He also stuffed a throwing knife into Li Xuan: "If they are still not convinced, just fight with them. This is a protective object that the steward gave me a few years ago. There is a secret of the steward in it." Although it can only be used twice with Thunder Blade Intention, once it is triggered, it is guaranteed that they will not be able to eat it and walk away."

Li Xuan was very happy when he heard this and almost smiled crookedly: "How can I be so embarrassed about such a treasure?"

Sima Tianyuan couldn't help laughing: "This is a good thing, but I have no use for it anymore. I have long wanted to give it away before it expires. And now in Zhuque Hall, you are the one I like the most. That Purple Butterfly Witch, I have been chasing you for half a year without any help, but in the end I fell into your hands, which is a sigh of relief in my chest!

That witch, does she have this day too? Hahaha! Didn't you see how pitiful she was in the Demon Suppression Tower, with her lute bone nailed and dozens of chains locked up. The whole person was wilted and could no longer look cheerful. She used to be so arrogant in front of me. "

Li Xuan was stunned for a while: "But the purple butterfly demon girl surrendered herself, not me -"

"But it's also related to you. You, this guy, are probably her nemesis." Sima Tianyuan patted Li Xuan's shoulder again: "There's no need to refuse. I'm not just doing this because you vented my anger, but also because I value you. Your people. Since the Battle of Tumu Fort, nearly half of the masters of the Jin Dynasty died in Xuanfu. We, the Six Daosi, have had to fight bloody battles with demons for many years. I don’t know how many talents have been lost in more than ten years. Now we need young people like you to rise. , holding up the sky of Liudaosi."

But in fact, Li Xuan had already put the flying knife covered with strange silver patterns into his sleeve.

He had no intention of refusing at all.

Although this flying knife only possesses 10% of the ‘Thunder Sword Intent’ of the Demon-Conquering Manager, it is a quasi-celestial Sword Intent after all, which is no small matter.

If used properly, Li Xuan's combat power can be temporarily increased by two or three realms.

In particular, Li Xuan had just recently experienced the 'Enlightenment' from the Demon-Subduing Manager, so he was able to bring out the full power of this thunder sword.

So he was very cautious and carefully put the flying knife into the leather bag used to store talismans in his left sleeve.

This Qiu leather bag is a specially made item that can contain the inspiration of the talisman and magic weapon, and help preserve the thunderous sword intention in this flying knife.

After Sima Tianyuan left, Luo Yan looked at his back from afar, his eyes a little cold.

When Li Xuan saw this, he couldn't help but curiously asked: "Luo Youyou, what are you doing?"

"It's nothing, I just hate this person." Luo Yan snorted, turned around and walked towards the cell door.

Li Xuan was confused and could only speculate that Luo Youyou and Sima Tianyuan might have old grudges.

※※※※

After sending Sima Tianyuan away, Li Xuan began to invest in interrogating all those involved in the case. He divided the five people into two groups, and he and Luo Yan each led one group.

In addition, Li Xuan also hired two teams of people from Qin Renfeng's men, mainly to escort the prisoners and beat them.

It is worth mentioning that after these internal factory servants were unfrozen, although they no longer dared to cause trouble for a few people, they looked at Li Xuan with something wrong, unwilling, resentful, and a bit awe-inspiring.

Li Xuan ignored them completely and started interrogating them one by one according to the files.

"Where were you at that time? What were you doing? Is there any witness?"

"Did you smell a special smell that night? What kind of smell was it? Was it pungent? Is it like this?"

"Did you feel the ground shaking? What was the extent? So, was there any explosion in the imperial library?"

"In other words, the purple butterfly you saw was already flying in the air and turned into a huge fire-colored butterfly?"

Basically these are the questions. Only for some more key figures, Li Xuan will ask a few more questions.

Especially for some of the Forbidden Army officers responsible for guarding the library gate, Li Xuan not only asked extra detailed questions, but also untied their clothes to see the scars on their bodies.

——Those marks were roughly similar to what he saw on the corpses of the two old ladies in the Zhendong Hou Mansion. There were scaly lines on the chests, and there were burn marks on the lower edge of the neck, the lower edge of the chest and the inner thighs.

The difference is that because they did not receive good treatment and lived in a very harsh environment, these burn marks all had mild or severe ulceration.

And these people all agreed that they had lost consciousness before the robbery occurred. When they woke up, the imperial library was already in flames.

It took three and a half hours until evening. Li Xuan and others walked out of the imperial edict.

"It's finally over."

Peng Fulai's first action after walking out of the cell door was to remove the cloth from his nose and take a deep breath of fresh air: "It's really unbearable. They can't change the place to detain these people who are arresting officials and supervisors." Human criminals? I guess they themselves can’t bear it.”

This is because this imperial prison is half buried underground, and the smell of decay inside is far better than on the surface. Although the Internal Affairs Supervisor burned spices in the interrogation room, he still felt very uncomfortable after staying there for a long time.

Luo Yan took Li Xuan's interrogation record and looked through it: "It seems that the matter of Shiqi was closely related. Many people smelled the smell of Shiqi at that time. But they were far away from the imperial treasury, and the smell Very light.

In addition, Si Tiandu and Huo Quedu's inquiries were very thorough and nothing was missed. There are two doubts. First, all the people on guard duty have drunk the wine sent from the imperial kitchen. However, judging from the previous file records, the Purple Butterfly Demon Girl will never use this method of drugging. "

"Second, all those who lost consciousness will feel severe headaches in the next two days. Purple Butterfly Demon Girl's Illusion God Purple Fire does not have such sequelae."

Li Xuan glanced at Luo Yan strangely at this time: "This is indeed a good suspicion. But - why do I feel that Luo Youyou's purpose is to prove that the Purple Butterfly Demon Girl is not the criminal, rather than to investigate the case seriously? "

Luo Yan took a breath, then smiled: "What I mean is that our investigation direction, it is best not to focus on the Purple Butterfly Demon Girl."

"I see, the possibility that the Purple Butterfly Demon Girl committed the crime is indeed very small." Li Xuan nodded and agreed: "There are three clues at the moment. First, where the stone paint came from, they used a large amount of stone paint; second, they used a large amount of stone paint; Second, the missing cook from the imperial kitchen was previously suspected to be the perpetrator of the Purple Butterfly Witch, and all parties did not pay attention to it; third, all the prison guards suffered from headaches, nausea, and itchy skin within three days after the incident. Symptoms, we can use these symptoms to find out what kind of drug it is, and there is one more thing, I am more concerned about-"

Li Xuan looked at the stack of documents in his hand: "Almost everyone mentioned that the ground shook slightly when the fire started."

"You are not the only one who cares about this matter." Le Qianqian interjected here: "At that time, the Cardinal Building did not detect an earthquake in Nanjing, and the Firebirds were also inside the palace after the incident. A large-scale investigation was conducted on nearby residences. It was found that the range of the ground shaking was very strange. It was probably an oval shape from the treasure house to Hongwu Gate. No one outside the palace noticed the earthquake."

Luo Yan also frowned slightly: "I'm a little concerned too, but there was a violent explosion when the Imperial Treasury was burning. It should have been caused by the lamp oil stored inside the Imperial Treasury."

"Anyway, let's check this line first." Li Xuan was already walking towards the south: "Let's go to the imperial kitchen and then go back."

The imperial dining room in Nanjing Palace City is actually no longer an imperial kitchen. It serves more as a place to provide meals for the chamberlains and soldiers on duty who stayed behind in the palace.

After Li Xuan asked around here, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net left the palace with some disappointment.

After returning to Suzaku Hall, Le Qianqian buried herself in the vast collection of classics stored in the library. She pulled out all the books on psychedelic drugs and read them one by one.

——There are thousands of those books, and they are as high as a hill. It is estimated that there will be no results in a while.

Li Xuan and Luo Yan are also busy. They need to investigate the origin of the stone paint.

There are seven known stone lacquer producing areas within the scope of the Jin Dynasty, distributed all over the world. It is naturally impossible for Li Xuan and others to rush there in person. However, Liudaosi has branches in various prefectures and counties. They only need to send the flying talisman and ask their colleagues there to help with inquiries.

As long as we can investigate clearly the production and whereabouts of stone paint in various places over the years, it is not difficult to find clues.

Then there was the missing cook from the imperial kitchen. Li Xuan had to find a painter to paint a portrait of this person, and then issue a wanted order throughout South Zhili.

Li Xuan estimated that this wanted order would be of little use because the methods of disguise and illusion in this world were beyond the four major evil arts in Asia in his previous life, but there was still work to be done.

What confused him was that before the shift ended at night, Jiang Hanyun had been pacing at the door of his signing room and looking inside the room from time to time.
