Half an hour later, the group came to the house called the Cave of Ten Thousand Snakes.

It was almost dusk, there were no windows in the room, and it was already pitch black, as if it was late at night.

There are a few torches that are not extinguished all year round on the stone wall, bringing some bright warmth to this cold room.

Princess Keya stood on the stone platform, looking down at the snake cave that was three people high, thinking of the strange incident that happened here a few days ago, only to feel a chill crawling up her back, she shrunk her neck, and hurriedly took a few steps back.

There was a stone table next to the wall on the stone platform, and on the wall next to the stone table, several pairs of iron chains and some sharp torture instruments were hung.

It was once a place of torture, and almost every moment the mournful wails of the prisoners could be heard from the house.

But since Qin Wuchen took over as the secretary of the Criminal Department, because he did not advocate torture to extract confessions, but more to let the prisoners be convinced and confess their guilt in front of the conclusive evidence, this Ten Thousand Snakes Cave has gradually become idle.

Zhen Bei frowned and looked at the things that Qin Wuchen placed on the stone table: "These are the clothes that Chelton left at the bottom of the cave?" ”

It was a black silk robe with gold thread embroidered with the sun and moon.

Qin Wuchen nodded and said, "Exactly!" ”

Zhen Bei carefully observed the tattered robe, and suddenly, her eyes froze, and she carefully removed a translucent piece of goo from the inside of the robe.

She took the thing under the candlestick on the table, looked at it carefully for a while, put it in her nose and sniffed it, a touch of contemplation flashed in her eyes, and handed it to Qin Wuchen.

After pondering for a while, the latter also showed a puzzled look.

Zhen Bei found a few pieces of that thing from the robe, and after finding nothing else, Fang withdrew her gaze and began to take a closer look at the more familiar room.

As I remember, nearly half of the room was a snake cave sunken into the ground, and the walls were sturdy.

Zhenbei noticed that a rope ladder was hanging from the stone platform to the bottom of the cave, presumably left there to facilitate the investigation of the case.

"Lord Qin, can I go down and have a look?"

Qin Wuchen nodded and said, "Naturally." It's just that the underground light is dim, pay attention to safety! ”

Seeing Zhenbei climbing the rope ladder down, Princess Keya stubbornly climbed down.

She saw Zhenbei holding the Night Pearl, looking for something on the ground, tapping it with her hand from time to time, and also learning from her example, doing it in a good way.

"Princess Keya, please help, lift the beads for the time being." Zhenbei said suddenly.

Princess Koya knew that she must have discovered something, and hurriedly walked up to her, and did as she was told.

Zhen Bei took out a white handkerchief from her bosom, carefully picked up an indiscernible object from the ground, and put it in the handkerchief, and the next time, she found this soft translucent object of different sizes and shapes from the snake cave.

"What the hell is this?" Princess Keya stepped forward and couldn't help but ask.

Zhen Bei glanced at her and said, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be some kind of animal organ!" ”

Princess Keya heard the "ah" sound, and her face changed slightly.

Zhen Bei glanced at her trembling hand holding the Night Pearl, and said in surprise: "I heard that you Turkic women have a bold temperament, all of them can ride horses and shoot hunts, and their courage is not inferior to that of men, why is the princess so timid?" ”

Princess Keya's face turned red and said, "Who said that this princess is timid, to say that hunting on horseback is naturally a trivial matter." Even if you meet a black bear, this princess can fight with it! But, this, this is a ghost and monster that can't be killed by a sword...... This princess will naturally be afraid! ”

Zhen Bei smiled slightly, bowed and said respectfully: "The princess is extremely brave, it is really admirable!" ”

Without waiting for the other party to respond, her tone changed suddenly, and she continued with a smile: "It's just that in addition to the things of the other world, the princess seems to have other things to fear——"

Princess Keya thought of the messy things she had done in front of her, her face turned even redder, and she said, "People just don't like that kind of soft and slippery thing!" ”

Zhen Bei pursed her lips and smiled, and no longer shamed her.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she said, "Hurry up and shine some beads!" ”

Princess Koya knew that she must have made something else to discover, so she put away her shame and hurried over.

Zhenbei half-knelt on the ground, and twisted some yellow-brown powder from a crack in the stone and put it between her fingers.

She put it in front of her nose and sniffed it, looking up at the rope still hanging in mid-air, thoughtfully.

After a while, her eyes narrowed, and she said to Princess Keya, "Let's go up!" ”

Qin Wuchen packed up the evidence and was about to go to the bottom of the cave, but saw Zhenbei and the others climbing up.

"Brother Gu, do you have any new clues?"

Zhen Bei held what she found to him: "There are indeed some new discoveries, but before that, I need to meet those Asdajia envoys!" ”

Nanyang Kingdom is a post station specially used to receive foreign envoys, on the other side of the imperial city, more than ten miles away from the criminal department.

Qin Wuchen carefully looked at what she had found, his expression became solemn, he looked at the door that had already darkened, and said, "His Royal Highness the Ninth must have taken them with him on the way here!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the narrow and heavy iron door was opened, and Nangong He took the lead in stepping in.

He was followed by four red-haired, green-eyed aliens dressed in white robes and wearing white felt hats.

Qin Wuchen hurriedly greeted him: "Elder Sabul, you are finally here!" ”

Those people bowed down together and saluted him, led by the middle-aged man with a mustache, with a slightly unfamiliar accent, and said, "Lord Qin, call us in a hurry, but there has been new progress?" ”

Qin Wuchen returned the salute and said, "Here's the thing, Gu Gongzi has a deep study of this kind of rare case, and I specially invited her to help!" It's not a secret, there are indeed some eyebrows at the moment, but there are some things that need to be asked a few more before they can be confirmed! ”

At the banquet of the Queen Mother, Sabul saw Zhenbei and Princess Keya, he glanced at Nangong He, and smiled meaningfully: "There is a prince of Laogu!" ”

Having said that, they stood by the iron gate, but they did not take another step in, and there was some wariness and fear in their expressions.

Thinking that Qin Wuchen had said that they firmly believed that Chelton's spell had worked, and that his soul had been taken over by the evil Sand God, the sworn enemy of the Sun and Moon God, and that they would soon die due to the curse, Zhen Bei smiled faintly and said, "The elder is polite!" ”

Her gaze fell on them quietly, and she said, "I wonder where the other three distinguished guests who came here that day are?" ”

Sabul looked surprised and said, "How could Gu Gongzi know that there were six people on the scene that day?" ”

Zhen Bei said with a smile: "I remember that at the birthday banquet, it was your birthday gift for the six gods to worship their birthdays, and because each person held one piece, I thought that the six people were the same!" And for you Asdajia, dealing with criminals is a matter of the same magnitude as heaven, and there is no reason not to participate! ”

When Sabur heard this, he admired: "Gu Gongzi is well-informed and meticulous, which is admirable!" Momot and Chaigar had been lying on the couch for two days, and they had fallen asleep after drinking the medicine, and they had not come together. And Gagger is meditating, trying to resist Chelton's spell! ”

As he spoke, he involuntarily took two steps towards Zhenbei.

Zhen Bei nodded knowingly and said, "The elder is too famous!" I wonder if the elder can tell me more about what happened that day. ”

A look of fear flashed across Sabur's face, and in a stiff tone, he said, "That day, when we came to execute, it was about this time. It happened to be the Spring Festival of Nanyang Kingdom, and the sound of firecrackers was ringing outside.

Our High Priest Gage took Chelton to the chamber specially prepared for us by the enthusiastic Lord Qin, and after changing into holy robes, he was brought here by the loyal Momot and Chaigar. ”

He said this, and paused.

Zhen Bei took the opportunity to ask, "The room where the clothes are changed, but is it elsewhere?" ”

Qin Wuchen replied on his behalf, "It's the wing room opposite the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave, which is only a few dozen zhang away from here. ”

Zhen Bei nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "At that time, the three of them were always with Nachelton?" ”

Sabur thought for a moment and said, "At that time, the three of us were in the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave, busy arranging the tablets and offerings of the god lord. Normally, when Chelton was supposed to change his clothes, only when the High Priest was in the room, and when everything was ready, Momot and Chaigar could go into the room together and escort Chelton out. ”

Zhen Bei bowed her head and said, "Please keep talking!" ”

When the torch burns, it makes a subtle crackling sound, like the sound of firecrackers coming from afar.

Sabur calmed down, and then said, "Wait until they have suppressed the struggling Chelton and come to the stone platform. Chelton was still cursing in a low voice, vicious and chilling. As soon as Momot had hung him with a rope, I could not wait to give the order, and Chaigar pushed him down from the high platform, and the curse that lingered in his ears finally stopped.

We all secretly breathed a sigh of relief that it was all over! Hurriedly knelt on the ground, chanted and prayed for his sinful past, and led him to confess to the Lord!

Everything went smoothly, and it was not until Gagah transcended his flesh that he realized that the demon had actually possessed the evil god and fled! ”

Sabur's pupils dilated several times in fear, and by the end, his voice trembled slightly.

Zhen Bei secretly remembered what he said in her heart: "According to what the elder said, it seems that Certon was very emotional before the execution!" ”

Sabur sighed deeply and said, "Exactly. There are many people who are so hysterical before they die, but they are just like him as a priest, but it is rare to see them executed! ”

Zhen Bei comforted: "Elders don't have to worry too much, evil has always been evil, even if that Chelton has some ability, he can't make big waves!" ”

Her words undoubtedly reassured Sabur a lot, and he couldn't help but smile at her gratefully: "The wicked hurt the sage, they still look up to the sky and spit on it, but they don't spit on the sky, and they fall from themselves!" A wise man can know the emptiness of sin and calmly not be afraid of life and death. Or Gu Gongzi sees it more thoroughly, we are taught! ”
