Chapter 168: Why Stop
It is said that Wu Xinyi, who is in prison, is still a thief, not only does not have the slightest intention of reforming himself, but wants to take advantage of his breath to pull more people into the water.
Originally, Wu Xinyi thought that Tang Xuanzong would open up to him on the past kindness, after all, he had treated him for the so-called stubborn disease.
However, to his surprise, Tang Xuanzong not only showed mercy to his subordinates, but even Wu Xinyi's request to face the saint was ruthlessly rejected. only said that Tang Xuanzong was in poor health and did not want to see him.
Hearing this, Wu Xinyi fell into extreme despair and panic, so that he who could still eat lost his appetite in an instant.
It must be known that Wu Xinyi still holds the handle of many important ministers in the DPRK at this moment, and these people must have taken it for granted that Wu Xinyi will gamble because of this, and then confess all the crimes committed by these people, so as to save their lives.
Because of this, this person will definitely do whatever it takes, and then send a master to assassinate Wu Xinyi in the prison.
As soon as he thought of this, Wu Xinyi, who was already trembling, became more and more panicked, so that no matter what abnormal situation he encountered, he would take it for granted that someone was intent on killing him.
Later, even the mundane things like eating and drinking stopped because of his excessive fear.
To put it bluntly, it is not to eat, drink or sleep endlessly, so that no one will take this opportunity to harm themselves.
There is a saying that people are iron and rice is steel, and it is better to say that one or two meals, or even a day or two without eating or drinking. But after a long time, who can endure such suffering?
In desperation, Wu Xinyi, who was already hungry, actually ate the rats in the cell.
However, no matter how bad the environment in prison is, snakes, insects, rats, ants and other things will eventually be eaten up one day.
In the middle of the night, Wu Xinyi, who was already hungry and thin, couldn't stand it anymore.
So Wu Xinyi consciously observed the surrounding situation, and seeing that there was no one around, he was extremely reluctant to break off a gold tooth inlaid in his mouth. and wants to use this as a quid pro fi a, and then beg for food from the cell boss who loves money like his life.
It didn't take long for Wu Xinyi, who had always been unattended, to surviv, so he summoned the cell boss here with a pleasant face, and then wanted to give him the gold tooth with blood stains on his face.
Unexpectedly, when the scathing cell boss saw this, he sneered and said to him, "What are you doing here? I don't dare to take it! I still have my wife and children waiting for me to feed at home! Let you live, and I'll die! ”
"Brother Cell Boss, I don't want you to let me out, I just want to eat a bowl of dumplings with three fresh fillings."
Wu Xinyi begged the cell boss bitterly, and tears were about to flow out, which could really be said to be out of his appearance.
Seeing this, the cell boss quickly ran to the cell door, and then said to him with a very surprised expression: "What did you say? Did I hear me right? If you want to eat dumplings, you can also have three fresh fillings! I have eight fresh ones here, do you want them? With that, the cell boss walked away without looking back.
It didn't take long for Wu Xinyi, whose face was full of tears, to gradually fall asleep in the torture of hunger and panic.
In a daze, the hungry Wu Xinyi seemed to smell a very familiar fragrance - the smell of three fresh stuffed dumplings.
When he was young, Wu Xinyi suddenly opened his eyes, and then he really saw a large plate of dumplings appear in front of him.
I heard the cell boss outside the door suddenly say to him: "I think you are pitiful enough, let you have a full meal!" ”
When Wu Xinyi, who was on the side, heard this, he was moved to tears, and expressed his gratitude to the kind-hearted cell boss repeatedly.
Just when Wu Xinyi couldn't wait to pick up the dishes and chopsticks, and then eat dumplings happily, the cell boss suddenly reminded him.
"Hey, don't just eat it, what about the gold teeth? I can't serve you in vain! "The cell boss really had other plans.
Hearing this, Wu Xinyi took out the golden tooth from his arms, reluctantly handed it to the cell leader, and then devoured it desperately.
In the process, Wu Xinyi was surprised to find that the taste of this plate of dumplings was so familiar that it reminded him of his old mother, who had passed away for many years.
After only a while, Wu Xinyi, who was already hungry, ate a large plate of dumplings.
Then, for fear of getting into trouble because of this, the cell boss quickly removed the dishes and chopsticks here.
I only heard the ill-intentioned cell boss, while walking out with dishes and chopsticks, he muttered quietly outside the prison door: "Die at the hands of your own people, you should be at ease, right?" ”
A few hours later, Tang Xuanzong, who had never wanted to see Wu Xinyi, suddenly changed his mind, and then wanted to give him another chance to make meritorious contributions.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the prison guard suddenly came to report, only saying that Wu Xinyi had committed suicide in prison.
Hearing this, the wise and wise Tang Xuanzong suddenly felt that there was something strange about this matter, and immediately ordered someone to go to the prison to investigate it in detail.
Sure enough, after some careful and careful investigation, the Chinese were surprised to find that Wu Xinyi did not commit suicide in fear of crime, but was murdered by someone.
And the culprit who caused his death was the plate of dumplings of unknown origin prepared for him by the cell boss before.
Presumably, someone bought the cell boss in advance, and then secretly ordered him to give the dumplings mixed with poison to Wu Xinyi to eat, which caused him to encounter a poisonous hand without investigation.
Seeing this, the man should have realized that something was wrong, and hastened to send him to the cell where Mabuchai was being held, to make sure that he was still safe and sound.
Because the two had a very close personal relationship, in order to prevent them from colluding with each other, Tang Xuanzong specially ordered the Chinese to detain them separately.
Unexpectedly, when everyone hurried here, they unexpectedly found that Ma Bucai had also committed suicide in fear of sin for some reason.
However, unlike the former, Mabuchaun, who came with him, hanged himself, not poisoned.
What is even more incredible is that after careful examination, it was found that Ma Bucai was actually strangled to death and then hung on the beams of the house, the purpose of which was to confuse the other party. This is also the real reason why there are two strangulation marks on Ma Bucai's neck.
From this point of view, whether it is Wu Xinyi or Ma Bucai, they are just a chess piece of others, which is the so-called loss of pawns and cars. The real mastermind behind the scenes is far from surfaced.
The top priority now is to find the key witness in the case as soon as possible, that is, the cell boss.
Unexpectedly, when everyone hurried to the cell boss's house, they were surprised to find that the cell boss had already been killed, and they were still a step too late.
At this time, the corpse of the cell leader was already cold, and he must have been dead for a while.
Through the analysis and judgment of the scene of the incident and the death of the cell leader, the person can roughly conclude that this is very likely to be an acquaintance who committed the crime.
The cell boss died peacefully, with no signs of resistance or struggle. The surrounding objects are also relatively neat, and no one has been turned over, and no suspicious person has been seen here.
However, the meticulous head catcher still found some clues on the cell boss's body, which laid the foundation for the successful conclusion of the case.
It turned out that in the palm of the right hand of the cell leader, there was a petal of unknown origin.
Presumably, when he was in danger of being attacked by a sudden attack, he took advantage of his unpreparedness to tear off the murderer's body.
If we can find out where this strange flower came from, and then find its owner, I think the truth of the whole thing will soon become clear.
After a few days, things finally came to an end. According to a secret report from a so-called insider who did not want to reveal his real name, this series of strange incidents is very likely to be committed by Jiang Xinghe's subordinate Zhou Cao.
The reason why that person dared to be so sure was not because of malicious accusations. After all, Jiang Xinghe had long harbored the ambition of plotting to usurp the throne, and Wu Xinyi and others knew many of his secrets. It can be inferred from this that Jiang Xinghe should at least be a suspect, because he has a sufficient motive to kill.
In addition, Zhou Cao and his people are very fond of flower petals and other things, so that they use these as their killing weapons on weekdays.
It is said that even a very ordinary leaf, as long as it reaches Zhou Cao's hands, it can still instantly become a terrifying existence that takes people's lives.
Presumably, the petal that the cell boss stole with his last breath before dying was owned by Zhou Cao.
Without further ado, after learning of this situation, Mei Chengye immediately secretly ordered the agile Liu Aodong to sneak into the dustless inn under the cover of night, and then wait for the opportunity to find relevant clues.
It is worth mentioning that at this moment, the dustless inn has been taken over by Zhou Cao, and the old owner here, Murong Yuping, is nowhere to be found.
At nightfall, Liu Aodong, who was already ready, quietly came to the dustless inn.
However, what made him feel a little strange was that the dustless inn, which was usually overcrowded, was unusually quiet at the moment. Could it be that there will be an ambush?
Seeing this, Liu Aodong gently drew out his long sword, and then carefully observed the movements around him.
I saw that in the hall on the first floor of the dust-free inn, dozens of square tables were neatly placed.
In the center of each square table is a vase with a very unique shape.
There are several unknown flowers in the vase, and their fragrance is very strange, so that Liu Aodong, who has just arrived here, just subconsciously smelled it, and suddenly felt dizzy and delirious.
Seeing this situation, Liu Aodong rushed to the staircase with an arrow step, wanting to go to the second floor to check the situation.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the aisle, he suddenly saw a woman dressed in purple walking towards him with a serious expression.
Liu Aodong fixed his eyes and looked at it, when he was sure that this person must be Zhou Cao. Apart from her, who else here would dare to dress up so brightly?
I saw Zhou Cao, who was wearing heavy makeup, holding a round fan, covering his face and gradually showing an intoxicating smile, and covering his waist and dancing without knowing etiquette. Although the bewitching state can be perfectly displayed, this kind of person is definitely not something that my generation should be attached to.
Although it is past the harsh winter, it is still necessary to wear a thick cotton jacket to protect against the cold.
But I don't want Zhou Cao to use a fan in this situation, what is this not intentional flaunting?
At this moment, Zhou Cao, who was not far away, suddenly said to Liu Aodong, be careful of the hidden weapon!
Hearing this, Liu Aodong hurriedly blocked it with the long sword in his hand, but he didn't find any hidden weapons.
In this way, the ill-intentioned Zhou Cao was stunned and reminded Liu Aodong more than ten times, but he never saw a dart.
Just when Liu Aodong gradually realized that Zhou Cao was most likely deliberately playing tricks on him, and then no longer dodging, the cunning Zhou Cao really launched a hidden weapon at him.
Seeing this, Liu Aodong wanted to dodge, but it was too late. So, he was negligent in his precautions, and he followed Zhou Cao's way like this.
However, what Liu Aodong didn't expect was that this secret weapon was not poisonous, and Zhou Cao, who had other plans, just wanted to fix him here for the time being, and said that he would personally dance a dance for Liu Aodong.
After a while, Zhou Cao saw that Liu Aodong, who was standing solemnly on his side, was no longer able to move, so he began to dance on his own.
Seeing this situation, Liu Aodong on the side was extremely disgusted, and then quickly closed his eyes.
No matter how charming you are, I just don't care about it, and if you have the ability, you will gouge out my eyes.
Just thinking about it, Zhou Cao suddenly came to Liu Aodong's face, and began to scratch his head shamelessly.
Then, Zhou Cao said softly to him: "Didn't you always want to have a lady?" I'll be your lady, how about it? ”
As soon as he heard this, Liu Aodong opened his eyes, and then said to him with great disdain: "Even if I am a bachelor for the rest of my life, I will never marry a woman like you who is a watery poplar!" ”
As he spoke, the angry Liu Aodong did not forget to spit at Zhou Cao to express his contempt for her.
Seeing this situation, instead of getting angry, Zhou Cao stuck to his ear again and said to him: "I'm a flower in the capital' and your Ludong first sword are just the right match, how can I be like that incomprehensible Zhu Yanji, who will only beat you and scold you every day, I really don't understand what is so good about her?" Is it worth your hard work? ”
Zhou Cao said while teasing Liu Aodong. She seemed to enjoy the process, but Liu Aodong was not.
I saw Liu Aodong, who had been unmoved, and suddenly laughed and said, "I'm bah! What a flower in the capital, you are a piece of stinky shit that even animals don't want to step on! I can't put into words how bad you are, all in all, you're a pair of broken shoes that can't be broken! It's disgusting to learn how to raise flowers from others! ”
Liu Aodong's words really angered Zhou Cao, but she didn't kill Liu Aodong, but told him triumphantly: "Liu Aodong, let's see!" I want you to see with your own eyes how I broke Zhu Yanji's body into thousands of pieces! ”
