Chapter 696: Sand Demon
To everyone's surprise, when they arrived at the military village and entered the camp tent, Wei Chiran let the others wait outside, while he went in alone with Hu Shuntang.
He Chenxue and the others, who were standing outside, looked at each other, not knowing what Wei Chiran was going to do.
After entering the camp tent, Hu Shuntang was also confused, because he had never seen Wei Chiran so serious.
After letting him sit down, Wei Chi asked him, "Five years ago, on the eve of the Sand Demon Annihilation War, why did you have a conflict with the former county keeper?" ”
Hu Shuntang scratched his hair: "Contradiction? Have it? ”
Wei Chiran said: "I heard that there is, I heard that you asked him to take out that fishbone sword to kill demons, is there such a thing?" ”
"Oh, I remember, yes, there is." After Hu Shuntang finished speaking, he looked at Wei Chiran strangely, "The little prince should also know, that sword can really kill demons and eliminate demons, and it was given to the He family by Emperor Taizu, but Lord He was reluctant to take it out, and he didn't know why, but the strange thing is that after the annihilation war, a cargo chaser picked up a fishbone sword on the battlefield." ”
Wei Chiran asked: "This is also what I think is strange, how can the fishbone sword appear on the battlefield?" Tell me about the war of annihilation. ”
Hu Shuntang turned to look at the map behind him: "Little prince, please look, this location on the map is Iron Prison County, there are four military villages around, and there is a hill in the southwest, which is the deepest place in the desert, and it is also the lair of the sand demon, they are hidden in the hole, these monsters, can walk under the sand, the speed is very fast, and the most important thing is that ordinary weapons can't hurt them, at that time, there was only one way to get rid of the demon, that is, water." ”
Wei Chi said: "The desert is already short of water. ”
"That's right, the level we can find is not enough, how can it be used to get rid of demons," Hu Shuntang sighed, "So, let the sand demons run rampant for a hundred years, they have killed a lot of people in the past hundred years, and the heretics have nothing to do with them, but fortunately, they didn't come out of the nest." ”
Wei Chiran remembered something: "Didn't you say that there was a city a hundred years ago?" Is it to be destroyed by the sand monster? ”
Hu Shuntang scratched his head and said: "The legend is like that, I don't know, it seems that the sand demon poured out of the nest and destroyed a city, so for a hundred years, the people here are worried." ”
Wei Chi asked, "But at that time, why did you start that war of annihilation?" ”
Hu Shuntang said: "First, it was the Iron Cloth Gate that invented the water spirit talisman, that thing, although it can eliminate demons, but ......" Hu Shuntang seemed to have something unspeakable, and he also avoided Wei Chiran's eyes.
Wei Chi asked, "Answer me." ”
Hu Shuntang lowered his voice and said: "The water spirit rune is written in blood, and it must be human blood, a large army, everyone has a water spirit rune tied to their weapons, how many people's blood do you think about it?" ”
Wei Chi Chi broke out in a cold sweat: "So you ...... say"
Hu Shuntang hurriedly waved his hand: "Little prince, even if you eliminate demons, you can't careless of human life, so at the beginning, we just used the blood of death row prisoners to write water spirit runes, but that was far from enough, if it wasn't for Tang Anshu to calculate that there was a rainstorm, I'm afraid that the desert is still full of sand demons." ”
When Hu Shuntang heard this, he immediately called Tang Anshu in and asked, "Tang Anshu, how did you know that there would be a rainstorm?" ”
Tang Anshu said: "I have studied celestial phenomena, and I have also checked the classics left in the past, the classics say that there will be a heavy rain every hundred years in the desert of the undead, I just thought I could give it a try, but I was not sure, who knew that it really rained, so General Hu immediately transferred troops to eliminate the demons and annihilated all the sand demons in one fell swoop." ”
Hu Shuntang nodded slightly, he always felt that there seemed to be something in it, but he just couldn't catch it, he searched for a long time and asked: "What was the attitude of the county guard at that time?" ”
Tang Anshu subconsciously looked at Hu Shuntang, and Hu Shuntang said: "It's strange to say, the county guard has some objections, but he didn't say it explicitly, but he just thinks, how to say it, I just think that we can't annihilate the sand demon in one fell swoop, on the contrary, it will cost the people and money, and after success, the adults are crying with joy." ”
Hearing this, Wei Chiran asked, "Crying with joy?" ”
Tang Anshu hurriedly said: "Yes, my lord cried, saying that he didn't expect that a hundred years later, he would be able to annihilate the sand demon in one fell swoop, which is simply a blessing for all people." ”
The fishbone sword can slay demons and eliminate demons, and there is a reason why he doesn't take it out, after all, what can a sword do? But why should he be angry, and why should he weep with joy? In the end, he had to dig a secret passage and go directly to the baked cake shop of the sand demon family of five hidden in the city, even if it was enough, in the end, he had to let Tang Qianlin get rid of the sand demon, and he would not hesitate to kill an innocent child? After that, he died again, and was killed, and the murderer escaped through the secret passage.
Wei Chi sat there dumbfounded, did Tang Qianlin have a motive to kill? The former county warden trusted him so much that he sent him to kill someone, and he killed an innocent child during the murder, and according to his character, he would be very guilty, but he would not blame the matter on the head of the county guard, so he had no motive to kill. Basically, it can be ruled out, but there is a problem, Tang Qianlin should not have seen what the fishbone sword is like with his own eyes, otherwise, the moment he sees himself, he will doubt himself, because he carries the fishbone sword with him.
Therefore, the relationship between Tang Qianlin and the former county guard still needs to be dug deeper, and it is definitely not that simple.
Speaking of torture, he has no motive, he didn't know before he offered the sword that it was the sword of the county guard, on the contrary, An Wanghai knew that this unprofitable person couldn't afford to be early, although he helped the torture technique to ask for a famous identity and a shop, but maybe he blackmailed Lord He for something else, in terms of motives, except for the matter of the little prince, he had no motive to kill the county guard, on the contrary, the county guard wanted to kill him, right?
Then there is Zhan Tianya, he has almost no doubts, he just wants to find out about this case, and he should be the most trustworthy one in this case.
He Chenxue is the daughter of Lord He, and she is also the current county guard, she has no motive to harm her father, and she has been investigating the case, she just wants to hide the relationship between her father and the sand demon now, even if she has not figured out the relationship.
Tang Anshu is even more motivated, and Lord County Shou can be regarded as having the grace of knowing him.
Hu Shuntang is the same as An Wanghai, except for the matter of the little prince, there is no other reason, as far as the matter of the little prince is concerned, Hu Shuntang really regards himself as the little prince, if it is his hand, he will definitely be anxious after seeing himself, right? After all, he killed people in one fell swoop, but he behaved normally.
Could it be Wang Tianliang? Because the more neglected the person, the easier it is to become a murderer.
When Hu Shuntang thought of this, his mind was chaotic, and he always felt that he still missed something important, but he just couldn't figure it out from these messes, what was it?
By the way, what the sand demon is, he hasn't figured it out yet, so Wei Chiran asked Hu Shuntang: "General, what is the sand demon like?" How did it come to be? ”
Hu Shuntang looked at Tang Anshu, and Tang Anshu immediately explained: "Little prince, how did the sand demon come, no one knows, but the sand demon is very terrifying, they can turn into human form, almost exactly the same as people, except for a large amount of water, a small amount of water can not make them visible, to distinguish them, there is no other way than to splash a large amount of water, this is the most difficult place to get rid of demons, which is why they can harm so many people." ”
Wei Chiran asked, "Is there any record of how the sand demon harmed people?" ”
Hu Shuntang said: "Sand demons harm people by sucking blood, sucking people into dried corpses. ”
Wei Chiran asked, "I mean there is a record of sand demon killings?" ”
Hu Shuntang said: "Then you have to ask Master Zhan, the records are all with him." ”
Wei Chiran immediately got up and left, and returned to Iron Prison County with everyone to check the records of the Prison Temple, he always felt that since this matter had something to do with the sand demon, then he should thoroughly investigate the sand demon.
When he arrived at the Prison Temple, Zhan Tianya asked someone to take out all the case records, because the sand demon victim was not recorded separately, but mixed in all the records, and he needed to find it for a while.
Hearing this, Wei Chiran said, "How can monsters harm people and ordinary cases be mixed together? ”
Zhan Tianya was puzzled: "Little prince, I said the same before, but the former county keeper said that there was no need, and said that there is no difference between sand demon killing and ordinary people, whether it is a human or a demon, it should be dealt with in accordance with the law." ”
Wei Chiran felt very strange when he heard this, can this monster be the same as a human? The county keeper seems to mean something else when he says this?
The people of the county government searched for two hours before they found all the cases with sand demon records, and after finding out, they found that there were only six records.
"Six?" Wei Chi was surprised, "After so many years, there have only been six sand demon murders?" ”
Zhan Tianya was also surprised: "Yes, I remember more than six?" Am I mistaken? ”
Wei Chi said: "Check again, if you don't check it clearly, no one will sleep tonight." ”
Zhan Tianya thought of something: "Wang Xiaoyan was in charge of sorting out cases before, you can ask him." ”
Wei Chiran immediately asked Wang Tianliang to find and sort out the files, although Wang Tianliang said that he was a good hand, but he was really careful enough to sort out the files, and he didn't need to find them, he could recite all the details of the sand demon case, and swore that if he made a mistake, he was willing to fall to the ground.
Of course, Wang Tianliang also wants to perform in front of Wei Chiran, especially now that he knows that Wei Chiran is the little prince, he must do his best to perform.
So, Wang Tianliang began to memorize the case materials, but he only memorized six cases, and in these six cases, only three people died, and the rest escaped.
Wei Chiran looked at the file in front of him: "For so many years, the sand demon has killed three people?" Fewer people than bandits killed, is this still the biggest danger to Iron Prison County? That's not at all. ”
Wang Tianliang hurriedly said: "Little Wangye, these are the ones that have been recorded, but there are many who have not reported to the official, as far as I know, at least hundreds of people have died." ”
Wei Chiran wondered: "Then why didn't those people report to the official?" ”
Wang Tianliang said stupidly: "How can you report to the official when you are dead?" ”
Wei Chiran sneered: "Since they are all dead, how do you know that they were killed by the sand demons?" Can a dead man speak? ”
Wang Tianliang was stunned for a moment and immediately retreated to the side.
Where do you start? This thing is simply strange, it seems that there are loopholes everywhere, but there are more and more loopholes and more and more clues when you check it, so many that you don't know what to investigate.
