"Have you come into contact with any outsiders?"

Father Yan lay on the corpse as if he hadn't heard it, and didn't reply.

Liu Shaoqing leaned his face to Father Yan, he stretched out his hand in front of Father Yan's eyes and shook it and asked, "What is the prince talking to you?" ”

Father Yan came back to his senses at this time, and said in a trance with his eyes: "What? ”

Liu Shaoqing straightened up and beckoned to call two prison men, who willingly walked behind Father Yan and pulled him up vigorously from left to right, no matter how Father Yan struggled and shook, he didn't let go.

The two prison guards pressed Father Yan and forced him to bow his head and kneel down towards the prince.

The one on the left said loudly: "You can still be presumptuous in front of the prince, and answer the questions asked by the prince well." ”

Father Yan nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, yes." ”

Liu Shaoqing saw that the person kneeling on the ground did not continue to speak, so he repeated the question of the prince just now: "Has your child been in contact with any outsiders recently?" ”

The hand on Father Yan's shoulder was a little harder, and he tilted his body in direct pain, frowned and said: "Xiao'er hasn't seen any strangers recently, Xiao'er and the grass people are almost inseparable, and it is impossible to give outsiders a chance to contact." ”

Sang Huai'an opened his mouth and asked, "What are you eating today?" ”

As soon as he heard this question, Yan Dad was stunned at first, and then quickly rolled his eyes, and he was stunned and didn't say half a sentence.

Liu Shaoqing saw that his father didn't answer, so he walked to the prince and squatted down, he said clearly: "Answer truthfully, don't deceive." ”

Father Yan knelt on the ground and his body began to tremble, and he stopped talking a few times but still didn't speak.

Liu Shaoqing turned his head to look at the prince and then turned around and said, "If you don't say it, let the prison man pull out a tooth, I see that you are so old, you don't want to suffer from this." ”

Father Yan was frightened when he heard this, his upper teeth knocked on his lower teeth, his lips trembled, and he said intermittently: "Hastily... Grass people... In the morning to him... Gave him a soft.. Cartilage powder. ”

Hearing these three words, everyone in the room frowned unconsciously.

Cartilage powder is a kind of poison, this poison is colorless and tasteless, and the whole body is paralyzed when the effect of the drug occurs, and the body loses the ability to move at will, paralyzed in bed, unable to take care of itself.

The people present in the house have also been in the rivers and lakes for so many years, and they have all heard of such harmful drugs.

But they couldn't associate this kind old man with cartilage, let alone imagine feeding this poison to their own son with a mental disorder.

The more I thought about it, the more puzzled I became.

The old king couldn't help but speak first: "This kind of poison has an almost immediate effect when taken into it, how can it be possible to raise a knife to kill someone?" ”

Father Yan pursed his chapped lips, and his voice was still trembling: "No... Didn't dare... For the first time.. I didn't dare to use it too much..."

The old king's face was still incredible, he raised his feet and walked quickly to Father Yan, looked at him and asked, "Why?" ”

The son is already like this, and he must have suffered a lot to live so big, why does his own father want his son to be paralyzed in bed and unable to take care of himself?

"Just. . . Only... I want him to stay with me forever... Stay with me, you can't go anywhere. ”

Hearing this, the old king took a step back, and he touched his heart and breathed heavily, with a shocked expression.

Liu Shaoqing hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold the old king's head, and he hurriedly asked, "Are you okay?" ”

Old Wang Tou shook his hand and replied: "The first time I saw my own son like this, I can't accept it, I can't accept it." After speaking, Lao Wang pushed away Liu Shaoqing's hand and walked towards the door.

Sang Huai'an's eyes never left Father Yan, and he also had too many uncertainties to ask.

He calmly asked, "Then do you know the Soul Eater Pill?" ”

Father Yan's head shook like a rattle, and he had never heard these three words.

Liu Shaoqing stood up, looked down at the top of Father Yan's head and said coldly: "There is no difference between you and killing people like this. After speaking, he waved his hand and motioned for the prison man who was pressing Yan's father to take him down.

As soon as the prison man moved, Father Yan began to cry: "Lord Wang, my lord, let the grass people explain to you." ”

The prison man didn't care about this, and directly carried him towards the door with his father's arm.

Liu Shaoqing looked at Father Yan's struggle, he sighed and said, "Lock it up first." ”

After Father Yan completely left his sight and cried, Liu Shaoqing looked at the prince and said, "My subordinates have inquired about some information in the afternoon. ”

Sang Huai'an looked at Liu Shaoqing and said in a nasal voice: "Huh? ”

Liu Shaoqing took a few steps back and stood next to Yan'er's corpse, he looked at Yan'er with his eyes closed and the blood splattered from the murder on his face.

"This person's name is Hu Muyan, his mother died of dystocia when he gave birth to him, and his father didn't know how to take care of him, and when he was less than a year old, he had a high fever and burned out his brain, which led to the disorder."

Sang Huai'an also walked to the side of Yan'er's corpse.

Liu Shaoqing continued: "Actually, these are nothing, strange things, his father loves him very much on the surface, in fact..."

Liu Shaoqing pushed Yan'er's body out of his back, and he continued while lifting his clothes: "As long as Hu Muyan is disobedient, his father will whip him." ”

Sang Huai'an leaned over and looked, and sure enough, Yan'er's back was full of large and small scars, and even a few of them were recent new injuries that had not yet scabbed.

Liu Shaoqing put down his clothes and straightened Yan'er's body again.

"According to the neighbors nearby, Hu Muyan could still be seen when he was a child, but when he was ten years old, he almost got lost, and the neighbors searched for Hu Muyan all night before finding him."

Sang Huaian looked at Liu Shaoqing, frowning, and his expression was solemn.

After that, his father no longer allowed Hu Muyan to go out, and made a wheelchair, if he went out, he let Hu Muyan sit in a wheelchair and push him out, afraid that he would run around and even tie his legs.

Tie your legs? This sentence caught Sang Huai'an's attention, and he opened his mouth to ask: "Then today's trip... Not tied? ”

Liu Shaoqing sighed: "This is where I wonder, his father said that he would tie it every time he went out, and he didn't know when he untied it." ”

"Hu Muyan untied it himself?"

Liu Shaoqing snorted, shook his head and replied: "Listen to his father, it shouldn't be, Hu Muyan's IQ can't untie the rope at all, and he has never taught him, and he has never untied it when he goes out before." ”

Sang Huai'an looked at Yan'er and said in a firm tone: "Then there must be a third person behind the scenes. ”

Liu Shaoqing nodded: "My subordinates also think so, and I will send someone to investigate tomorrow." ”

At this time, the old Wang Tou walked in, he was the most experienced servant of Dali Temple, he liked to deal with corpses since he was a child, and he just saw the prison Cheng pressing Yan Dad to go to the prison, and he came back to plan to conduct an autopsy overnight.

He looked at the prince and the two sighed and said, "Lord, can you let me, an old man, unravel..."

Hearing the voice, Sang Huai'an stepped back and walked aside, and Liu Shaoqing also stepped aside and gave the entire corpse to the old king.

The old king put his hands behind his back and walked towards the corpse step by step.

Liu Shaoqing looked out the window and saw that it was getting late outside, so he turned his head to look at Sang Huai'an and said, "Lord Wang, there are subordinates guarding here, please go back to the palace, and if there is anything abnormal, the subordinates will send someone to inform you." ”

Sang Huai'an also looked out the window, the night was quiet, and the mirror-like moon hung in the sky, shining the clear moonlight on the earth and lighting up the night.

Mai Jiu woke up when he was close to the time of the child. She was very tired from this night's sleep, and she had three dreams in a row, each of which was strange.

She sat up on her back, the room pitch black, and only the moonlight peeping through the window allowed her to see clearly.

Mai Jiu smashed his heavy head with his hand.

At this time, the door was gently pushed open, Sang Huai'an tiptoed in, and then gently closed the door.

As soon as he turned his head to walk towards the bed, he saw the man who was staring at him.

"Awake?" Sang Huai'an said softly.

Mai Jiu nodded.

Sang Huai'an walked towards the bed, and Mai Jiu asked about the question in his heart: "How is Yan'er and his father?" ”

Sang Huai'an stood in front of the bed and began to untie the thin straps on his robe, and replied lightly: "In Dali Temple." ”

Sang Huai'an took off his robe and walked towards the oak, hanging his clothes on it.

Mai Jiu's eyes kept following Sang Huai'an, and she continued to ask, "Did you find anything abnormal?" ”

Sang Huai'an walked to the dresser again and untied the peiyu on his waist, and after setting it up, he replied unhurriedly: "There are too many abnormalities, and Hu Muyan also has too many questions." ”

Mai Jiu blinked his eyes and said in confusion: "Hu Muyan? ”

Sang Huai'an walked back to untie the strap of his shirt in front of the window, and the moonlight outside the window shone on Sang Huai'an.

Sang Huai'an replied while taking off his shirt: "The words in your mouth are Hu Muyan. ”

Mai Jiu sensed something, and she was a little flustered, and she opened her mouth and shouted, "Sang Huai'an..."

Sang Huai'an turned her head to look, she looked at Mai Jiu's expression, it was an uneasy expression.

Mai Jiu continued to speak: "The man who came to the store a few days ago, he also said that his name was... Mu Yan. The last two words, Mai Jiu said very slowly.

Sang Huai paused to put down his clothes, and after a few seconds of sluggishness, he came back to his senses and put his clothes on the coffin.

He said lightly: "This king knows that in fact, after that day, this king sent people to follow him, but... No one has come to report it, and it has probably already encountered an accident. ”

As soon as he thought of this, Sang Huai'an's hand clenched into a fist.

Mai Jiu told Sang Huai'an about the last time he went out of the house with Ling Qingyin and then couldn't get out of the alley.

Sang Huai'an sat on the edge of the bed, his eyebrows had already wrinkled into a straight line, and the hand on his knee was clenched tightly.

Mai Jiu saw Sang Huai'an's anxious state.

The real culprit behind the scenes who has been making trouble haunts him, but he missed it and let him escape, and anyone will be uneasy.

Mai Jiu put his hand on Sang Huai'an's shoulder and squeezed it hard.

Sang Huaian raised his hand and touched the hand on his shoulder, and patted it lightly: "Don't worry, now that you know what he looks like, I will start posting portraits tomorrow, even if I dig three feet into the ground, I have to find out." ”

Mai Jiu thought about it and still expressed his concerns: "Before Yan'er's accident, he came to the store and said that he was also called Mu Yan, I was afraid..."

Sang Huai'an continued with Mai Jiu's words: "The thing you are afraid of Yan'er is also caused by him. ”

Mai Jiu nodded. She thought for a moment and asked, "You just said that Yan'er has too many questions... What does that mean? ”

Sang Huai'an told Mai Jiu everything he knew about Yan'er.

After listening to this, Mai Jiu slowed down for a long time, and couldn't believe that Father Yan had such a great desire to control Yan'er, obviously this desire for control had reached the point of mental illness.

Mai Jiu scratched her forehead, all this was a little too messy, she remembered what Wang Po told her under the stage, saying that she had seen Yan'er break the neck of a chicken with her bare hands, and she told Sang Huai'an what she said.

Connecting the two, Sang Huai'an and Mai Jiu seemed to understand something, and these things seemed to be tightly entangled in the dark.
