Chapter 234: The Tormented City Lord
There are many ways to die without trauma, but it would be special if all the blood in his body turned into gelatin......
"Do you need an autopsy?" Yiqing looked at the corpse, full of excitement.
He was curious about the unknown, and this was the first time he had seen such a corpse.
Mu Ling nodded, "Then it's hard for you!" ”
Yiqing hurriedly beckoned Yuan Rong to carry the body to the morgue.
An hour later, Yiqing changed his clothes and came out.
"It's all checked, and the blood all over the body has turned into those gelatins, which must have been formed in an instant, because the gatekeeper didn't look like he was in pain." Yiqing took out a towel and carefully wiped every inch of skin on his hands.
Mu Ling paused for a moment, and pulled out the portraits from her bag, she looked at them, "You said, what are the characteristics of those people?" ”
"There were thirty-four men, eighteen men and sixteen women, five of whom looked older, the others were women, and the other were half-grown children." Yiqing took out his record book.
"By the way, those children don't seem to want to be rich and noble, they are very thin and have different degrees of injuries on their bodies, and so are the women, so I suspect that they are all trafficked people......"
Trafficking...... A ship from Syria was full of children and women, and it looked like it was being trafficked.
"Let's go! We have some things that we need to verify with the lord of the city. Mu Ling put away the portrait.
Yiqing and Yuan Rong packed up their things and came to the City Lord's Mansion.
"A few adults, please come inside!" The city lord Pan Pan heard the report from his subordinates and hurriedly came out to greet him.
Several people sat down, and the city lord personally served tea.
"Is anyone in the city lord's family sick?" Mu Ling asked, smelling the smell of medicine in the air.
"It's not a secret, the dog has been in poor health since he was a child, and he hangs on the ......medicine every day" Speaking of this, Pan Pan showed a sad face.
Mu Ling flashed a different color, if she was not mistaken, that medicine is for the treatment of internal injuries......
Why did the lord of the city lie? Or is it hiding something?
"I know a little bit about medical skills, do you need me to help your son take a look?" Mu Ling said.
Pan Pan's body stiffened, and he immediately spoke, "No need, don't bother adults, the dog's illness is an old problem, so you don't have to bother adults......"
Yiqing also saw the clue and looked at him a few more times.
His gaze stayed on the corner of the city lord's robe, on which several crystals were glued.
There are also several crystals on the edges of the shoes.
"Does the city lord know that Yizhuang's body is missing?" Yiqing asked.
"What??? The body is gone!! Pan Pan reacted very shocked, "How could it be gone?" I sent someone to guard it! ”
Seeing that his reaction didn't look like a fake, Yiqing was a little confused, didn't this matter have anything to do with him?
"We didn't find the guards, but we did find the janitor's body." Yiqing said as he observed Pan Pan's reaction.
"The janitor is dead?" Pan Pan was shocked, "How is it possible, I specially sent someone to watch!" Why is this happening? ”
"We're also investigating, I wonder if the Lord has found anything else about the Amber Clan?" The silent Mu Ling asked.
Looking at Mu Ling's eyes, Pan Pan lost his mind for a moment, and he was very afraid to look at those dark and waveless eyes.
Pan Pan shook his head, with an apologetic look on his face, "I'm sorry, there hasn't been any substantial progress in the next place, so I have to bother you......"
"In that case, we won't bother much." Mu Ling got up and took his leave.
Pan Pan breathed a sigh of relief and got up to see him off.
Before leaving, Mu Ling turned around and looked at Pan Pan, "Is there really nothing to tell us about the City Lord?" ”
Pan Pan shook his head, his face became stern, "What do you mean, my lord?" Can I still bend the law for personal gain? ”
Mu Ling approached him step by step, and Pan Pan stepped back, vigilant.
Mu Ling smiled, "Don't be nervous, adults! I just saw that there was a dead grass on the adult. As he spoke, Mu Ling took a piece of dead grass from his shoulder and patted the dust on it.
"I didn't mean that, I wanted to tell the lord of the castle that if there is something to tell us, especially if there is a threat...... We may be able to help you better than anyone else! ”
After speaking, he didn't look at his reaction, and took the lead out of the City Lord's Mansion.
Pan Pan behind him turned pale, what did he mean by this? Did he know anything?
"Miss, is there something wrong with that city lord?" After the three of them walked away, Yiqing asked.
"Yes and no!" Mu Ling remembered the memories she had seen.
"What does that mean?" Yiqing was confused.
"Wait, he'll come to us!" Mu Ling smiled mysteriously.
Then Mu Ling summoned everyone else back, and everyone did nothing and went about playing in the city.
Mu Ling hadn't had a good look here last time, and as the emperor of a country, she should also take a good look at this city.
So taking advantage of this opportunity, she planned to take a good look at this place where the darkness was hidden.
"Really? They didn't look any further? The city lord Pan Pan listened to the guard's report and was in a hurry.
At that moment, another guard walked in from outside.
"My lord, the deputy city lord is here......"
Pan Pan stopped suddenly, and his face became bad.
"Let him in!" Pan Pan sat on the chair, pretending to be calm, but the hand holding the chair betrayed his mood at this time.
"Lord Castle, I heard they've been here?" Before the deputy city lord Chen Ruiren arrived, the voice had already come in.
Then a middle-aged man walked in, he looked in his forties, with fair skin, thin eyes and long eyebrows, and looked suave.
"The deputy city lord is well-informed, and he can't hide anything from you." Pan Pan looked at Chen Rui and endured the anger in his heart.
His house is full of his eyeliner, he knows it but can't do anything.
"The city lord laughed, as the deputy city lord, you should share your worries for the adults!" Chen Rui walked around the room, looking at the flowers for a while, and playing with the handles on the shelves for a while.
"That's really thanks to the deputy city lord's conscience!" Pan gritted his teeth.
Chen Rui looked concerned, "This is what you should do as a subordinate!" By the way, how is my nephew's illness? Do you need to show the doctor in my house? It's been delayed for so long, it's better to be cured as soon as possible, so as not to have any more accidents! ”
Hearing this, Pan Pan's blood surged, and he endured it stiffly, "Don't bother the deputy city lord, he is already much better!" Just rest for a few more days! ”
"Oh! That's fine, I'm worried that my nephew's illness will get worse? It seems that I am overhearted! Chen Rui came to sit opposite Pan Pan and looked at Pan Pan's face and said carelessly.
Pan Pan was silent, he really wanted to knock the person in front of him out of the door immediately, but he couldn't!
For the sake of the son! He must hold back!
"How is the lord of the castle thinking about it? I can wait, but I'm afraid some people can't wait......" Chen Rui said with regret in his tone.
"I still need time, it's not a trivial matter...... Besides, the person sent above is not a fool, do you think it is so easy to fool? Pan Pan clenched his fists.
"Good! Then I'll give you two more days! You have to make it clear! Those people...... You don't have to worry about it, the world is so chaotic now, something will inevitably happen! Chen Rui said and took a sip of tea.
"You! You're going to do something to them?! You are crazy! Don't you know who they are? Pan Pan's face changed greatly.
"So what? Even if they were the Moon Emperor's people and handled it cleanly, who would know that we did it? Lord of the City, when the time comes, we will be grasshoppers on a rope, and with you to testify, are you afraid that they will be able to find evidence? Chen Rui looked at the slowly sinking tea leaves and said.
Pan Pan fell silent.
"Think about it, I won't bother! I hope the lord of the castle won't let me down! After all, you're just such a lone seedling......" Chen Rui got up, tidied up his robe and went out.
In the face of his threat, Pan Pan broke out in a cold sweat, this person was crazy!! He's just a madman!
What the hell is he going to do? Pan Pan collapsed on the chair.
"Daddy......" A weak voice sounded.
A pale boy appeared in the front hall, the boy was very white, his facial features were also very delicate, his thin body could not support the wide clothes, and his black hair was scattered behind his head.
He was supported by a young man of about the same age, looking at the man in the upper seat.
Pan Pan opened his eyes, "Why did you come out!" Didn't you tell you not to come out? ”
"Dad, don't listen to him! I'm fine! Ahem, ahem, ahem, ......" Pan Xiaoshuai pleaded.
Chen Rui is a cunning and ruthless person, how can he be sincere, his father is just a pawn for him, and he can be abandoned at any time!
If they really agree to what he said, then their whole family is really finished!
He knew that his father was a man who had been law-abiding and conscientious for so many years, but now he had to go against his conscience to join that kind of person.
He doesn't agree and won't allow it!
"This thing...... Let me think about it again...... Let me think about it again...... "Pan Pan was extremely conflicted, he really didn't want to do that hurtful thing, but he couldn't bear to watch his son die in front of him like this......
What the hell is he going to do? What should he do? Who can help him?
"Daddy!" Pan Xiaoshuai's face became even paler because he was too emotional, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, and his thin body fell down violently.
"Xiao Shuai !!" Pan Pan exclaimed, "Go and call the doctor!" Call a doctor!! ”
The boy next to him immediately ran out.
After a while, the old doctor's face was full of helplessness, "My lord! The old man has already said that he must not let the little young master get emotional anymore, his injuries are extremely serious, and he will not find a solution...... Alas...... I can only stabilize his injuries for the time being, but with little effect, but if it goes on like this...... I'm afraid that the little master's body can't stand it......"
The old doctor sighed, very helpless, and shook his head, he could only prescribe some relieving medicine now, and he didn't know how to treat this disease.
"Elder Zhen, really...... Is there no other way? Pan Pan's eyes were full of bloodshots, and he looked at the person on the bed sadly, with struggles flashing in his eyes.
Doctor Zhen shook his head, "Don't let him get emotional again, one more time, but there is no such good luck!" ”
Pan Pan instantly looked like he was ten years old, and asked the housekeeper to send the doctor away, and he sat on the edge of the bed in silence.
"Sir! Didn't that adult tell you to go to him? He might be able to help us! Since he said that, he must have known something! The young man on the side moved his ears and said suddenly.
"You...... You heard ......" Pan Pan looked at Pan Xiaoshi.
Pan Xiaoshi is Pan Xiaoshuai's child who was rescued from the street when he was a child, and he has always been by Pan Xiaoshuai's side in order to repay his kindness, and the two have a good relationship and are like brothers.
He is also an alien, his hearing is very good, he can hear from a distance.
So he wrote down what Mu Ling said before leaving.
Pan Xiaoshi nodded, "Since they are the people around the Moon Emperor, there must be a way to save the young master!" Otherwise, the adult wouldn't have said that before he left, they must have known something! This is a chance! ”
Pan Pan only thought carefully about Mu Ling's words and the eyes full of meaning at this time, the more he thought about it, the more he felt flustered, he was disturbed by Chen Rui at that time, and he didn't think about it at all, and now it seems that ......
He decided!
He decided he wanted to take a gamble!
