Chapter 216: Mirage

Mrs. Mei, who looked dead, suddenly jumped up, opened her mouth, grinned at the root behind her ear, turned into a bloody monster, and pounced on Chen An. At the same time, a strong smell of blood only hit Chen An's face, making him feel nauseous, and just about to release the "bowl of mud horse hammer sword" to defend against the enemy, Mrs. Namei slammed into the pillar of fire in the cage, and fell to the ground and rolled over.

His voice was poignant and high-pitched, where it seemed to be a voice coming from his mouth, Chen An took a few steps back, and then stopped to watch. I saw that the so-called Mrs. Mei was rolling on the ground under the scorching flames, and her body changed shape, turning into a fat insect with a thick body and no feet, the surface of this insect was brown scale armor, and there were only huge mouthparts at one end, and there were thousands of dense layers of teeth inside, and the end was extremely ugly.

The flames on this strange insect were still partially charred and black until they were rolled and extinguished. Even so, it struggled to raise its head and aimed its mouthparts at Chen An, and a fishy green viscous liquid was dripping from it.

Chen An only felt a churning in his stomach, very nauseous, and didn't dare to look at it, so he turned his head and retched. The little Vermilion Bird probably thought that Chen An wanted to inspect the cage here, so he pushed the flames on this side away, revealing the appearance inside.

"Hey, how did you end up here. A surprised voice came, Chen An felt that this voice was somewhat familiar, and when he looked up, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, in the cage in front of him, it was Commander Zhang, the enthusiastic stall owner and the three well-wishers who were imprisoned. At this time, Commander Zhang had long lost the vigor he had seen before, his hair was scattered, and his eyes were closed and he was sitting on the edge of the corner of the cage.

Enthusiastic stall owners and well-wishers are a little heartless, and the enthusiastic stall owners put their stalls out and wipe down those treasures that sell very well. The good Samaritan squatted aside, fiddling with the red ground on the ground.

After seeing the flames disperse and Chen An's figure appeared behind him, the enthusiastic stall owner's eyes lit up and he said loudly to Chen An.

"Who?" Commander Zhang asked lazily without opening his eyes.

"It's that kid! The kid we got set up for a while ago, but he got drunk and made a big fuss. The well-wisher glanced up at Chen An, and suddenly stood up and replied.

"Oh, he's going to be locked up with us, too. Commander Zhang didn't show much interest, his eyes still didn't open, and after scratching his face, he continued.

"No, he looks like he broke in, no, look at the way he looks, he doesn't even have the slightest influence in it. The well-wisher looked at Chen An and muttered. "Look! he still has a Vermilion Bird on his head!" said the enthusiastic stall owner, pointing to the top of Chen An's head.

Commander Zhang was no longer calm when he heard this, he stood up suddenly, opened his eyes and looked at Chen An, seeing him strolling around at this time, he was a little incredible, and asked, "Good boy, how can you have a Vermilion Bird Order on your body." ”

Chen An coughed lightly twice, put his hands behind his back, then straightened his waist, and said proudly: "Lord Ben is now a small patrol envoy of the Vermilion Bird, what is strange about having the Vermilion Bird Order."

Zhang Tongling was stunned, then sighed and said regretfully: "Hehe, I didn't expect that the three of us brothers looked away and actually attacked the inspectors, it really deserves this catastrophe." Seeing this, Chen An felt that Commander Zhang should have misunderstood something, and explained: "I was also an inspector who only became yesterday, and I was just a common man before. ”

When Commander Zhang heard this, he laughed at himself and said: "Don't lie to me, a young student like you must have a strong backer to serve as an inspector." Seeing that Commander Zhang didn't believe it, Chen An shook his head and didn't explain, after all, whether Commander Zhang believed it or not didn't matter to him.

At this time, the enthusiastic stall owner suddenly said: "Why do adults call themselves small inspectors, is there still a big inspector who can't do it?" Chen An was stunned, and then said, "You don't know, the proprietress of the restaurant, your accomplice Concubine Jingshu, isn't she the chief inspector." ”

When the enthusiastic stall owners and well-wishers heard Chen An's words, they looked at each other, and Commander Zhang laughed out loud, pointing at Chen An and laughing: "The yellow-headed child is the yellow-headed child, you believe everything others say, let's go back and study for another two years." ”

Chen An's face was angry, and he scolded in a low voice: "I just said that it was okay how could a big inspector come out and be deceived by this woman again." After hearing this, the enthusiastic stall owner rolled his eyes, and then said with a smile on his face: "Lord Inspector, what are you doing here?" ”

Chen An glanced at him when he heard this, and he would not tell him the true purpose, so he pointed to the back and replied: "Do you see the big worm behind me, Lord Ben came this time to investigate Mrs. Mei's case." The enthusiastic stall owner looked behind Chen An and hurriedly said, "I know, I know, I know this." ”

Chen An raised his eyebrows, looked at the flattering expression of the enthusiastic stall owner, and secretly said that this person had deceived him before, and he had to keep an eye on him, and he couldn't believe what he said. So with this in mind, Chen An followed his words and asked, "Oh, what do you know?" ”

The enthusiastic stall owner beckoned to Chen An, motioning him to come closer, Chen An glanced at the little Vermilion Bird beside him, and then walked forward, approaching the enthusiastic stall owner. I saw him look at the big insect with a hideous shape on the other side, and then said slowly: "My lord, the insect behind you is called a mirage, and it originally lived in the desert of the far west, and usually preyed on by transforming into something else. ”

Chen An hissed, glanced deeply at the enthusiastic stall owner, and then said, "In this way, the Mrs. Mei we saw that day was made of this thing." After speaking, he was a little puzzled, "Since even you know, then it means that the people on the ward's side already know about this matter, but why is this insect still locked up here." ”

Commander Zhang sneered and said, "I advise you to stop here, and continue to dig deeper, I'm afraid that one day you will be locked up with it." Chen An was terrified, as if he saw the dangerous road before the truth, but at the same time, he also had a reason to go, if he gave up when he came here, Xuanyuan Xing and Hao You would die if they didn't say it, and it was possible to be thrown into the flame hell for a lifetime.

Chen An was silent, he always felt an invisible hand pushing him and guiding him. And the people behind this scene should be extremely familiar with him, know his temperament well, and will not give up his friends easily. And that person currently wants Chen An to live, otherwise he would not put him in a safe position in this undercurrent where he will die inexplicably if he is not careful.

Is it the prince, Chen An originally thought so, but after the conversation with Gu Chengfeng, although he did not have hatred for the prince, he also had a trace of defense. Is it Gu Chengfeng, that's even more impossible, this old guy is scheming and cunning, and Chen An can feel that Gu Chengfeng has always hidden a deep hatred after discovering that he has used his spiritual creation.

If it weren't for the Heavenly Ghost Dao's extremely keen sense of resentment, Chen An would not have discovered this abnormality.

Whether it is the crown prince or Gu Chengfeng, they all have reasons to kill themselves, Chen An took a deep breath, in such a seemingly harmonious situation, but in fact it is extremely dangerous. He can't simply believe in anyone, the only one who can find a way out for himself is himself.

Thinking of this, he looked at Commander Zhang and put forward a condition that was difficult to refuse, "I remember that the inspector has the power to transfer suspects to assist in the investigation, and does not have to go through the Warden Department. Commander Zhang, is that so? ”

Commander Zhang raised his head suddenly, two rays of hope suddenly lit up in his depressed eyes, stared at Chen An's eyes, and said seriously: "This is indeed the case." I don't know if the Inspector needs our help. Chen An smiled and replied, "It's very simple, just prove that the people present at the time have nothing to do with Mrs. Mei's death." ”

"Boss!" The well-wisher looked at Commander Zhang excitedly, and the enthusiastic stall owner wiped the treasure's hand for a moment, and also looked over expectantly. Commander Zhang glanced at the two of them and said briskly: "Okay, I promise you." ”

Chen An nodded with satisfaction, then pointed to the center of his eyebrows, took out three green points of light, looked at them, and explained: "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just to facilitate our contact, otherwise it will be very troublesome if we can't find it then." ”

The three of them are all old rivers and lakes who have experienced a lot of cunning in the world, and for Chen An's actions, it is undeniable that Commander Zhang did not hesitate to release the spiritual space in the center of his eyebrows, including the green light point, and enthusiastic stall owners and well-wishers also followed suit.

Seeing that they were so refreshing, Chen An didn't squirm, and gave an order to the little Suzaku through his spiritual power, and the little Suzaku immediately flew to the top of the cage and opened his mouth to suck violently. The flame cage was immediately sucked into its mouth, and the three of them were free, and they were in a good mood.

The enthusiastic stall owner and well-wishers hurriedly ran over, surrounded Chen An's side, and left the original boss aside. Seeing this, Commander Zhang snorted coldly, slowly stepped forward, hugged his fists at Chen An and said, "No matter what, you let us out, we remember this kindness." And it's good for us to help you, and after proving our innocence, we don't have to be locked up here. ”

Chen An bowed slightly, he just saw that this was a win-win situation, so he made a request. Thinking of this, he looked at the mirage behind him and asked, "This worm is a powerful proof of our innocence, I am afraid that the corpse will be destroyed if it is placed here, you have a way to take it away." ”

The well-wisher laughed and said, "What's so hard about this." With that, a kind smile appeared on his face, and he stepped forward and walked in front of the mirage. At first, the mirage would open its mouth to bite the good Samaritan, but after the good Samaritan repeatedly stretched out his hand to test and said some strange language, the mirage became very docile, not only no longer threatening with the mouth opener, but also rubbing his head against the good Samaritan's hand, as if he was coquettish.

This scene made Chen An stunned, and muttered: "What kind of magic power is this." The enthusiastic stall owner replied: "This is his gift, he was born with the ability to make people feel close, and he is fluent in many languages." As he spoke, he chuckled lightly and said with emotion: "When I first met, I was deceived by his image for a long time, if it wasn't for the fact that my eldest brother happened to come and found out in the end, my family would have been taken away by him." ”

Commander Zhang smiled and echoed: "Over the years, he has accompanied us everywhere to deceive, but he has been a little wronged by his talent. When Chen An heard this, he looked at the well-wisher curiously, and secretly said that he couldn't wonder that he met him at the beginning, and he inexplicably had a sense of trust in his heart, if he hadn't been reminded by the little Taoist priest in the White Deer View later, I am afraid that he would really be deceived into leaving even his pants.

Thinking of this, Chen An suddenly rejoiced in his caution, and planted the spirit seed of the green light group for the three of them in advance, otherwise they would not know if they would be sold by the three of them at that time.

At this time, the good Samaritan turned back with a smile and said to everyone: "I have pacified it, it said that it can enter a state of suspended animation, and it can be put in a storage bag and taken away." Chen An laughed and said, "You are very good." As he spoke, he stepped forward and warmly took the hand of the well-wisher.

The well-wishers were a little surprised, and they didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Chen An's gourd. And Chen An was also a little puzzled at this time, when he touched the well-wisher, the immortal hand in his body did not react in the slightest, so he asked: "Is it true that the enthusiastic stall owner said that you have natural powers." ”

The well-wisher scratched his head, not knowing why Chen An suddenly asked this, and replied honestly: "I don't know if this is my talent and supernatural powers, but I can't hide it, only the major sects and dynasties have the secret techniques to verify my natural powers." I, an ordinary person, how can I be so blessed. ”

Chen An sighed, thinking that this kind-hearted person should have a natural supernatural ability and didn't know it, this ability is quite practical, it is exactly what he wants, and the reason why the immortal hand failed to trigger just now may be in the wrong position. Chen An thought about it, put his hand on the other places on the well-wisher's body, and still did not react.

Chen An didn't believe in this evil, so he changed his position again and tried many times. And in the eyes of Commander Zhang and the enthusiastic stall owners, they felt a chill, the expressions on their faces were strange, and the enthusiastic stall owners whispered: "This patrol envoy, is there any special habit." ”

Commander Zhang sighed abruptly and replied, "Now we can only rely on him, so we have to temporarily wronged the third brother." When the enthusiastic stall owner heard this, he seemed to be unbearable to watch, so the two sat with their eyes closed and crossed in the eyes of the well-wisher asking for help. And the well-wishers on the other side also seemed to accept their fate, with tears in their eyes, and silently closed their eyes.

After a while, Chen An still found nothing, so he had to let go helplessly. When he saw the good Samaritan open his hands and close his eyes with a sad expression, like a ravaged woman, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, and said, "What's wrong with you." ”

The good Samaritan opened his eyes, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and choked speechlessly. Seeing his appearance, Chen An was a little confused, and he didn't think much about it anymore, so after taking away the mirage, he led a few people towards the stairs.

And when Chen An arrived at the stairs, after seeing the scene above, his mind buzzed, and then he hurriedly ran up.

I saw that on these steps, there were some blood stains walking on the ground, and under the high temperature of the flames, some had been steamed dry, and the figures of Xie Lingyun and others could not be found.
