MTL - The Emperor is Expecting!-Chapter 18
After coming out of the restaurant, Yan Shi went to the two who had the accident and looked at it. It is rumored that the Taoist people disappeared in the court, but one point was ignored. People have disappeared, not all traces. There was a thin layer of black stains on the place where the disappeared person stood, which was similar to the bottom of the pot.
"It is rumored that there is a medicine called corpse water, which can be killed with a little touch, without leaving a trace." Jiang Qingyue said on the way back.
Although these people reported missing, everyone knows that this person is dead and cannot return. However, this method of death is really weird, which is also the result of Jiang Qingyue's rummaging through ancient books in the past few days.
Yan Shi asked, "You mean all three people died of corpse water?"
Jiang Qingyue replied: "It should be right to see this trace, but it is said that the process of making this medicine is very cumbersome and very vicious. It has been resisted by many decent people in the rivers and lakes, and it disappeared as early as 100 years ago.
Hua Ling pulled Yan Shi's arm and shrank to him: "Brother I'm afraid."
Yan Shi patted him comfortably, and then continued: "Maybe there is no extinction, but there are only a few people who know. If anyone finds that there is this medicine in his hand, it will be inseparable from the murderer."
"Yes," Jiang Qingyue said again, "but this medicine is extremely difficult to make and its cost is very high. It is not something that can be made by ordinary people. And several cults that had this medicine in it were overthrown. I thought, There is no such thing as Shifangfang. "
"Is that the great Shifang Palace?" Jin Geer asked.
Jiang Qingyue said: "Shifanggong Palace is a river and lake organization established five years ago. It has spread throughout the country in just a few years. Almost all industries are involved, and its development speed is staggering. It is said that Shifanggong Palace The Lord is also evil, and his whereabouts are erratic. He is often shown with a mask. No one has ever seen him. I heard that the court sent someone to see him, but he was kicked out and stripped of his clothes. "
Hua Ling was curious: "Did he offend the court? Aren't he afraid of revenge?"
"In the beginning, the Shifang Palace was just an insignificant martial art, and the court did not notice it," Jiang Qingyue continued. "When the court noticed, it had developed to the point where it could not be underestimated. They are all martial arts and loyal to the palace master. They are not easy to deal with. Moreover, it also paid a lot of taxes for the court, and the court opened its eyes and closed it. "
Jin Geer's face was suddenly angry when he heard here: "I don't care what he is, as long as my brother's death is related to them, I will not spare them." Jin Geer originally thought that Da Li was only missing, After the day following Yan Shi, he also accepted the fact that Li was dead.
Yan Shi said: "Surely there are people in Shifanggong in this imperial city. You have to send someone to look it up. But if it was really Shifanggong people, why did they kill these three people a lot? One chef, one Carpenter, and a blower, what connection is there? "
"It is said that the corpse water is violently medicinal, and when it is applied, people will vanish," Jiang Qingyue expressed his doubts. "However, several people in the newspaper said that these three people still told them before they died. Then, how did the corpse water get on them? "
There is a tree at the door of Jin Geer's house. It can be explained that the murderer spilled the corpse water on Da Li on the tree, but the other two did not have the conditions for the crime.
It was getting dark, and Yan Shi decided to return to his home, and let Jin brother go home first.
Obuchi couldn't stop the night snack, so the night of the imperial city was very lively.
Hua Ling's eyes wandered around, looking at this and that, and swallowing from time to time. I don't know if the drooling voice is too loud, Yan Shi actually bought him a lot of food, and Hua Ling happily wouldn't even say a word, just holding on to what was in her arms.
"Do you think that there are very few people today?" It is summer, and it is the season for supper. People in this street have rubbed their shoulders, but today it seems deserted.
When Yan Shi said this, he and Jiang Qingyue looked at each other and said in the same voice: "Is it related to the disappearance?"
Yan Shi approached the stall owner and asked casually.
"I heard that those people were missing at night, and now everyone is afraid that they will be the next one. It ’s not long before the sun sets, so they are going home early. There are fewer people buying and selling in the night market. If you ca n’t come out, you wo n’t come out. I ’m also scared, but I can only come out brazenly. There is no way to support my family, but look at the current business. If this is the case, I have to find another way. Son, I advise you to go home early too, the night of this imperial city is not clean ... "
Hua Ling immediately shrank to Yan Shi, holding her arm and head back and forth, "Brother, let's go home soon."
"Fear, there are no ghosts in this world." Yan Shi comforted him.
"but……"
"Don't you believe me?"
"Believe, believe," Hua Lingsheng was afraid of Yan Shi's anger, and nodded again and again, "I believe what my brother said."
"I know why the killer killed those three people." After listening to what the stall owner just said, Yan Shi suddenly said.
"The killing was to keep the people in the imperial city from coming out at night," Jiang Qingyue also said with a clear look. "It is convenient for him to do other things in the imperial city. The three people were just his random choice That's bad luck. "
"That's right," Yan Shi said at first, and then she was a little worried. "The case must be broken as soon as possible, otherwise I'm afraid something will happen."
Having said that, I only heard a riot from the crowd behind me, screams, jogging, table and bench falling to the ground.
"Go and have a look." Yan Shi made a quick decision.
"What happened?" Jiang Qingyue grabbed a person and asked casually.
The man was frightened and trembling, pointing not far away: "Just now, someone suddenly and suddenly disappeared! It was just in the eyes of everyone, not under the eyelids!"
Yan Shi firmly held Hua Ling's hand: "I'm afraid."
The shorter the time to the crime scene, the more clues you will get.
The people at the night market were so frightened that they ran out of urine, and all of them ran out in no time.
Yan Shi had already seen the thin layer of black ash not far away, and when she was about to go forward again, she suddenly saw a man also going there. At this time, the man couldn't wait how far away from it, why this man Still going there? There must be something weird.
"Stop!" Yan Shi shouted, instead of standing still, the man went in the opposite direction. Seeing this, Yan Shi immediately handed Hua Ling to Jiang Qingyue, and she moved to the man with a tiptoe.
