It was the middle of the night when Qing Cang brought He Yong back to the yamen, He Yong had a pale face, let him drag him away, he thought of no less than a thousand ways to escape in his mind, but none of them were used, he couldn't act rashly, he had to find the best time.

Shang Jingcheng interrogated it overnight, and when he came to the outside of the cell and looked at this man in prison uniform, he couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly, this person didn't look very scared, maybe he was ready to die for a long time.

"What's the use?" He shouted.

He Yong raised his head to look at him, saw his face clearly by the light of the candle flame, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "It is really my honor to send the five princes to interrogate me." There was something self-deprecating in his tone.

Shang Jingcheng ignored the ridicule in his words, and just asked, "Where is the fifth uncle?" He left you alone and went back? ”

He Yong just stared at him, not saying a word, and there was a hint of mockery in his eyes.

"Don't want to answer? It seems that your companion Fifth Uncle is still wandering around here, aren't you worried about him? Oh, yes, you're a prisoner now, how can you still worry about others? Shang Jingcheng stared at his eyes carefully and said.

He Yun gritted his teeth and said: "Fifth Uncle is gone, he has already returned to Liguo, you can't catch him, I advise you not to waste time on me, I won't tell you anything, you died of this heart." "They are all ready to die, since they can't escape, then let it be, even if the final result is hell, he will be firm and will not let him find out a little about Liguo from his mouth.

Shang Jingcheng chuckled and said: "You think too much, I just came to see you, whether you say it or not is your business, and it is not my responsibility, I just need to escort you back to Beijing, there will always be someone in Ouchi to judge you, I just want to know, why did you kill those women back then?" ”

This has always been the biggest doubt in his heart, and he can't figure it out, since he wants to make a wall as a cover, why just choose a woman to kill?

He Yu just sneered and said, "The death of those women has nothing to do with us, we just used those events to get Shangguan Yang to seal the river through the wall." ”

"Oh? You're trying to say that you didn't kill those people? When did you think the river would be the best place to stay? Shang Jingcheng's heart didn't believe his words, if it wasn't the person they killed, then who was the murderer? It is impossible that the P5 has not been able to find out at all over the years.

"Hehe, the fifth prince wants to know? Check it out for yourself! He just looked at him with a sneer, not wanting to talk to him at all.

Shang Jingcheng stared at him for a while, knowing that he would not continue to speak, so he said coldly: "Okay, since you don't want to say, then I won't ask anymore, what's the use, is the murder case here really irrelevant to you?" The cycle of cause and effect should be unpleasant, do you think you can do bad things once and for all? Have you not had a good night's sleep in these Chinese New Year's Eve? Tortured by nightmares, do you feel terrified when you dream of those women every night? ”

After dropping these words, he turned around and left, what's the use, this person will not easily tell the case of the year.

He stared at his back as he walked away, his face was so pale that there was no trace of blood, he gritted his teeth to control himself from trembling, because he was right, in the past five years, there has not been a night without nightmares, he is even so scared that he can't sleep at night, every time he goes back to Liguo, he has to go to the doctor to prescribe some medicine that can sleep peacefully at night, otherwise, he will not dare to sleep all night, just like now.

When Shang Jingcheng returned to the room, he saw that Xie Chuyao had not fallen asleep yet, she was lying on the edge of the bed reading a book, and the quiet appearance was very beautiful.

"Why don't you sleep yet?" Shang Jingcheng came to her side and sat down, and reached out to take her hand.

Xie Chuyao was held by him, so he had to put down the medical book and look at him and say, "Isn't this waiting for you to come back?" What do you think? What's the use, did you say any useful information? ”

She knew what the use of him going to interrogate, but she didn't know what the result was, and she couldn't see anything on his face, so she couldn't help but ask.

Shang Jingcheng just shook his head lightly and said: "His mouth is very tight, as soon as he asked him about those cases back then, he said that it had nothing to do with him, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to ask something." "After all, they are not specially interrogated, if they are interrogated by him so easily, it is really strange, then what is the use of being a spy, and the psychological quality is not comparable to ordinary people.

Xie Chuyao nodded lightly, leaned into his arms and said: "Don't worry, we just need to escort him back to Beijing, there will always be someone to try it out at that time, but the case in this winter town has always been very hanging, he said that it has nothing to do with him, but I think there must be an inextricable relationship here, even if he didn't kill it himself, it can't get rid of him, and he kills women, what is the purpose of this?" ”

When she said this, she couldn't help frowning tightly.

Shang Jing took her in and said softly: "I will let Shangguan Yang continue to investigate this matter, now that I know the identities of He Yong and Fifth Uncle, it should be easy to solve the case from them." ”

Xie Chuyao nestled in his arms, the quilt slipped down, and he couldn't help but shrink back and drill into his arms, Shang Jingcheng stroked her back and said, "Okay, okay, don't read the book, lie down, it's cold this night, fall asleep early." ”

After saying that, he put her on the bed, and then changed his clothes on the bed very quickly.

Lying on the bed, Xie Chuyao couldn't sleep for a long time, she looked at the top of the bed with her dark eyes, and her mind kept thinking about what happened after coming to this winter town, feeling as if she had entered a fog, and she couldn't see what the end of the fog was.

"Asleep?" Shang Jingcheng's voice came faintly.

Xie Chuyao shook his head, turned over to look at him and said, "No, I can't sleep." ”

Shang Jingcheng took advantage of the situation to take her into his arms, kissed her on the cheek and said, "Go to bed early, you have to deal with the things in the river when you get up tomorrow, didn't you say that you will bring in the river water in five days?" That's here, don't slap yourself in the cheek! ”

"I will do what I say, so I won't slap my face, you are really, frustrate my confidence, see if I don't spare you!" As she spoke, she thumped him on the chest, causing him to laugh, and grabbed her hand, staring at her with dark eyes, until she felt uncomfortably looking away, and his lips were sealed.

The feelings were out of control, and this night was another sleepless night.

The next morning, after breakfast, they went to the river at the head of the village, where the water had been dried up the previous night, and the dry ground was exposed, where several officials were sealing the entrance and exit with bricks.

Shangguan Yanggu stood on the side, looking at them with a lonely expression, as if he had no focus, and stood there like this, like an old monk in a fixed position, and as if he was numb to himself.

Xie Chuyao and Shang Jingcheng glanced at each other, and then slowly came to his side, thinking that he would react a little, but he didn't notice that they were coming to his side at all, and still stared ahead motionlessly.

"Lord Shangguan, but you have been standing here for a night?" Shang Jingcheng asked in a flat tone.

Shangguan Yang seemed to have sobered up from his thoughts, he glanced sideways at him, and found that it was Shang Jingcheng, so he respectfully bowed to him, "The five princes are healthy, and the five princesses are auspicious." ”

Shang Jingcheng waved his hand casually to signal him to get up, and then repeated the question just now: "Lord Shangguan has stood for a night?" ”

Shangguan Yang was stunned, he didn't expect that the five princes would take the trouble to ask again, and couldn't help but laugh and say, "Hehe, how is it possible?" I can't stand like this all night and scrap my old bones, huh? I just came over to see how they were doing. ”

Shang Jingcheng glanced at the bottom of his dark eyes, and said lightly: "Lord Shangguan, don't worry, I won't hold you accountable for anything, you don't have to think so much." ”

"Thank you for the great kindness of the fifth prince." Shangguan Yang bowed to him again in a very official manner, but his face was not necessarily very happy.

Shang Jingcheng couldn't help asking, "Are you unhappy?" ”

Xie Chuyao couldn't help but gently pull his sleeve, this person is really, knowing that this Shangguan Yang is in a very bad mood now, he is still asking him like this, this guy must have done it on purpose, deliberately making this Shangguan Yang feel bad?

"The fifth prince Xie cares, but the brother-in-law of the lower official is still in prison, and he really can't be happy in his heart, and I hope the fifth prince will not blame." His voice was full of suppressed sadness, his heart was full of He Tiantian's words, she must hate herself very much now, hehe, he never thought that one day, the relatives he valued most would be spies from other countries, and his sincerity over the years was wrong after all.

Shang Jingcheng stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder and said: "There are some things that you can't do, you know, you don't know how to intercede with me, you can see that you know in your own heart, so why use your current identity is so sensitive, I also hope that you can clean up your emotions and don't be angry." ”

In fact, he was only worried that he would be desperate to save it, and now seeing that although he was sad and sad, there was no hatred in his words, and there was no intention to plead for anything, he put his heart down.

"Fifth prince, please rest assured, Xia Guan knows what a major national affair is, and what is his use, although he is my brother-in-law, but since he is a spy of Liguo, then our relationship will be broken." In the end, Shangguan Yang almost gritted his teeth and said it.

Shang Jingcheng glanced at him, then nodded slightly and said: "Since this is the case, then I will ask you to do one more thing, give me a thorough investigation of the murder case five years ago, where to start, you must know better than me, and when I leave, I want to see the result." ”
