Zhuang Siyan was really startled when he heard this.

Is this a monster? Why does he have to protect those people who he has recognized his mistakes? Does he have any control in the hands of the insured?

But a person is not even afraid of death, what other trick does he care?

couldn't ask for a while, in order to prevent him from seeking his own death, Zhuang Siyan tied him up and escorted him back to the city overnight, so that people could guard him well.

Here, Jia Mingyuan and Xu Ning examined the corpse all night, and by dawn, the appearance of both of them was about to catch up with the dead body.

All of them have red eyes, black circles, and messy hair.

As soon as Xu Ning saw Zhuang Siyan, he handed her an extremely complaining look, and it seemed that he also felt that the meal was really not worth it.

Jia Mingyuan handed her the report of their autopsy, and didn't even want to say anything, just looked at her, and the words "I want to sleep" were clearly written in those eyes.

Zhuang Siyan himself stayed up all night, although his spirit was better than them at this time, he also wanted to go back to rest, and it happened that the Praetorian Guards had also reached the time to change shifts.

So he ordered the two of them to follow the Praetorian Guard into the city to rest first.

I quickly flipped through a few pages of the autopsy report, and that bit of sleepiness was swept away.

He asked Qingshi to find a table and put it in a tent casually, as long as he could avoid the wind, and read all the autopsy reports by himself.

In these reports, it is clear that the dead were not only beaten to death and then sunk into the river, but most of them were poisoned.

"This group of people is inevitably too ruthless, they took poison, beat them to death, and finally sank into the river, what are they trying to cover up?"

There were a total of forty-eight corpses, and those that had been newly buried by the ancient books had also been picked up, and almost thirty or more of them had died in this way.

In addition, a few were drowned, and some only bones remained, which could be detected as poisonous, but it is not known how they died.

In short, all the corpses are in suspense, which makes people feel very uncomfortable when they look at it, and they especially want to find out what is going on, and they also want to return their innocence.

After reading the autopsy report, it was almost noon, Zhuang Siyan was busy until now, and he was also a little physically exhausted, so he asked people to guard the moat and went back to the house himself.

Ah Si went back with her, and took advantage of the time on the road to take a look back at what had happened by the river in the past two days.

"I'm afraid that the salvage in the early stage is not clean, and there should be something else in this river besides the corpse." Ah Si said.

Zhuang Siyan turned his head to look at him: "Something else, what is it?" ”

Ah Si shook his head: "I don't know, I haven't seen it, but once I heard someone say that these corpses are nothing more than smoke, to cover some people's eyes."

Mr. Si, think about it, the people who were salvaged in the early stage were all people from General Ye's mansion, and later General Ye left, so the matter was handed over to the Criminal Department, and Master Gu of the Criminal Department obviously had a problem.

He salvaged so many corpses, he should know how big a crime he committed, but he still reported all of them, and after reporting them, he found a lot of reasons to cover them up, don't you think there is something wrong here? ”

Zhuang Siyan was also surprised by him like this.

Coupled with the case file written by Gu Shuxin before, it can be seen at a glance that he just wants to make things bigger, so that the things he covered up can pass smoothly.

The more time Zhuang Siyan spends and the more energy they spend on it, the less time they have to check on others.

And those corpses, they deliberately didn't let people recognize them, and they all gathered here, didn't they just want to arouse other people's ideas?

They succeeded, and they restrained all Zhuang Siyan and their energy here, and they haven't found anything behind this group of people until now.

Zhuang Siyan pressed his temples and felt that there was a "sudden" jump.

After pressing it for a long time, it was a little better, and she asked Ah Si, "When did you hear these words?" ”

Ah Siying: "It was the night before yesterday, when they were already preparing to transport the corpse, and a few people accidentally said it when they were on duty at night." ”

"Well, can you still find those people now?"

Ah Si nodded: "Didn't they all go to prison yesterday?" Few of these people should be clean, and even if they are clean, they will be bought and afraid to speak, so as long as Mr. goes to the trial, there should be a result. ”

Zhuang Siyan nodded, and the original plan to go back to the house to sleep was canceled, and he went directly to the prison of the Criminal Department.

All the guards in the prison have been replaced, and now they are under the control of the Praetorian Guards, Zhuang Siyan came in, and the officials inside immediately came out, bowing their heads and waiting for her orders.

"Ask who is the leader of this group, and bring it to me first."

The officials were given the order, and after a short time of going down, they brought a man with them.

At this time, he looks vicious, has a lot of scars on his face, and every line on it seems to be angry, in short, it feels very bad.

He had obviously seen Zhuang Siyan, so when he saw her again, he didn't have the slightest timidity, but spoke up first: "Master Si, we are all members of the Criminal Department, is it too much for you to detain people without asking questions?" ”

Zhuang Siyan raised his eyebrows to look at him, and his tone was slow: "Is it too much?" I don't think it's a little too much, you can't even salute the officials who are personally appointed by the emperor, you are really bold! ”

The man snorted coldly, and still knelt down on his knees, but his face couldn't be covered with disbelief.

People who are in a hurry to perform are easier to deal with, Zhuang Siyan is not in a hurry to deal with him, and even the tone of his speech is very slow.

First asked him his name and age, where he lived, and what he was doing under the old book?

That person must have made a psychological defense line before he came, thinking that Zhuang Siyan would not say anything no matter what he asked.

As a result, Zhuang Siyan didn't ask about the river at the beginning, but asked a bunch of bits and pieces, and he was unhurried, which exhausted his patience, and finally said angrily: "What does Master Si want to ask?" ”

Zhuang Siyan looked at him: "What do you think I want to ask?" ”

The man paused: "I don't know if the little one is there, what do the adults ask?" ”

Zhuang Siyan asked, "Okay, then have you married a wife and had children?" Do you have parents and brothers at home? ”

Scarface: "......"

To go back or not to go back? It's really depressing to go back, don't go back, these seem to be irrelevant, and when I was annoyed, I asked her: "Master Si asked my family what to do?" My family has nothing to do with these things. ”

Zhuang Siyan looked at him and smiled: "So you still have a family?" So how do you know they have nothing to do with these things?

What you do, you can risk your life, but your family has to take risks, even you Gu adults can't escape, your family is threatened, do you think you can escape? ”

The scar-faced man's face was not good-looking, and even his gaze at Zhuang Siyan changed a lot, obviously a little hesitant.

Zhuang Siyan gave him enough time to think about it, and then said after a long time: "You have confessed everything now, maybe we can still keep your family, but if you finish talking and let others do it first, it is hard to say whether they will be so merciful." ”

The scarface man couldn't control it for a moment and asked, "Can you really keep my family?" ”

Zhuang Siyan nodded: "Of course, it just depends on your sincerity, I can only say do my best." ”

Despite this, he still gave the scarface man some confidence, and he asked Zhuang Siyan to withdraw all the people around him, and then whispered: "There is still something buried at the bottom of the river." ”

"What is it?"

"It seems to be something from the imperial court, it has been put in for a long time, I don't know much later, but from the day I received the task, I knew to protect the things inside."

Zhuang Siyan asked: "So, Lord Gu made such a big deal out of it, is it really for the things that are really buried at the bottom of the river?" ”

The scarface man nodded, and said: "This thing is hidden by a very important person, and we haven't seen who it is, but I heard that the power is so powerful that even the current emperor is afraid of him." ”

This really made Zhuang Siyan curious, the emperor is the king of a country, the first person in the world, Zhuang Siyan only knows that others are afraid of him, and he doesn't know that he is afraid of others.

Especially with Ling Tiancheng's personality, even if someone is not afraid of him, it can only be in private, and it is impossible for him to be afraid of others.

It's just that the scarface man only knows so much, and he has already said it all, and there is no more.

In the end, he was still not at ease, so he told Zhuang Siyan the address of his home, and explained that when they came in, their families were all registered, and now that they think about it, they are a little afraid, so Zhuang Siyan must find a way to protect them.

Coming out of the prison of the Criminal Department, Zhuang Siyan didn't even take a breath, and Jia Mingyuan, who had already eaten and slept enough, came to see her.

"Brother Si, have you read the autopsy report?"

Zhuang Siyan nodded: "I read it, it's well written, and it's all clear." ”

"And what do you think?"

Zhuang Siyan nodded: "These people are all poisoned, where does such a large number of poisoning incidents usually occur?" ”

Jia Mingyuan thought for a while, but had no answer.

Zhuang Siyan didn't know where it might happen, so he could only ask him: "Did Brother Xu say that these people were poisoned first and then beaten, or were they beaten first and then poisoned?" ”

Jia Mingyuan grabbed a handful of hair and guessed: "It should have been poisoned first, and then beaten, right?" ”

Zhuang Siyan shook his head: "You can't guess this, since Brother Xu has already experienced it, you still have to ask him, and come to me again if you have the result."

Oh yes, I'll be in my house first, and you can just go there and find me when you get there. ”

Jia Mingyuan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly rushed up to ask him, "Where is Brother Si's house?" ”

Zhuang Siyan was really tired at this time and didn't want to speak, so he gave Qingshi a look, and walked forward.

When she returned to the house, she didn't even eat, she only hurriedly drank the water brought by Mi Yueqing, then shook her head and said, "I'll go crooked for a while, if someone comes to look for it, you let him wait in the hall and wait for me to get up."

Oh no, if it's urgent, urgent, come wake me up. ”

Mi Yueqing agreed to her, sent her back to her room, and helped her cover the quilt.

Zhuang Siyan looked at her, originally to say thank you, she didn't have to take care of herself like this, but before the words came out, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

When she woke up, it was already dark, and the light from the courtyard shone in through the window lattice, shining dimly on her face.

Zhuang Siyan stretched his waist and looked around, but he couldn't find anything that could count the time, so he could only get up.

This ancient is really not good, next time let Ye Yuanpei wear it back and get a watch, it is best to be mechanical, so that she can keep walking, and she can measure the time.

When the servant outside the door heard her get up, he hurriedly came to bring water, watched her wash her face, and handed her a towel.

Then he handed over the water, which was similar to the rules in the palace, Zhuang Siyan was in a trance for a long time before turning his head and asking, "Who taught you this?" ”
