Chapter 73: The Case of the Year
He also noticed the abnormality of Lan Ting's strange child, could it be ......
He had a vague and bold guess.
Zhao Yan, the prince's order, dared not to obey, so he beckoned a small official and asked him to bring the guests over.
After Jiang Yunyu and Lan Ting left, Zhao Yan continued to report to Xie Qinglin respectfully.
After saying some specific details, he asked tentatively: "Your Highness asked me to go through the old case before, could it be that I had expected such a thing to happen?" ”
Xie Qinglin was noncommittal, his face expressionless.
After all, this was the first thing Jiang Yunyu thought of, although she herself was not here now.
"Your Highness is really like a god." Zhao Yan complimented with a smile on his face.
Xie Qinglin ignored his praise and seemed impatient, "You make it clear." ”
"Yes...... It's ......" Zhao Yan stopped talking, and continued what he said just now, "According to your order, my subordinates looked through the files related to the disappearance of children in recent years and found that there was something strange in them. ”
"What's going on?" Xie Qinglin's eyes narrowed, his face was dark.
"The vast majority of them have become unsolved." Lest he not be clear enough, he added: "Whether it is a simple case or a complex case, it is the same, even if some of them have obvious clues and the truth can be followed, but they can't go on inexplicably, and their subordinates don't know why." ”
Seeing that Xie Qinglin's face was getting deeper and darker, and there were faint signs of anger, Zhao Yan pondered and said cautiously: "My subordinates think ...... It seems that someone deliberately does not want these things to be exposed......"
Zhao Yan is not a person who has the audacity to draw conclusions, he dares to say so, there must be a basis.
So who is behind the scenes?
Where did he put the law?
It's just a disregard for the king's law, lawlessness!
It's like a slap in the face in this criminal department, Dali Temple, and imperial power.
Maybe we can use this incident as a breakthrough to dig out the previous things.
Xie Qinglin thought so, it seems that he has to keep an eye on this case.
If it was originally out of a little selfishness, now it is a major matter related to the country.
"Where are the prisoners? I'll ask for myself. ”
Zhao Yan was taken aback, and arched his hand: "Please think twice, Your Highness." ”
How can the prison defile His Highness's noble body?
Xie Qinglin was naturally not something he could stop, and Zhao Yan didn't dare to persuade him anymore, so he had to lead people to the northwest corner of the prison.
Where had the head of the prison hall seen such a noble figure as the crown prince, he knelt on the ground, and blood appeared with excitement on his pale face, which had not seen the light of day for many years.
The five men were brought out in heavy chains, and the jailers forced them to kneel with a dull sound on the ground.
The director of the prison hall shouted: "Explain honestly, and those who dare to play tricks will be dragged out and killed with a cane." ”
They are just a group of mercenary reckless men, where have they ever seen such a big scene, kowtowing like pounding garlic: "Big ...... Spare your life,"
"When I ask you about it, you have to tell the truth." Xie Qinglin's slow threat, the corners of his mouth hooked up with a sneer like a ghost.
The little official took Jiang Yunyu and Lan Ting to a remote warm pavilion, where there were only a few scattered chairs, and tea was placed on the small table, which was originally for officials to rest, but there was no one at this time, and the little official retreated after bringing them in, and carefully closed the door, making it look like they were forbidden to enter.
Along the way, Lan Ting had calmed down, he was no longer trembling, but his eyes were still blank, looking fragile and pitiful.
Jiang Yunyu couldn't bear it, and gently broke away his clenched hand, and found that the palm of his palm had been pinched by himself, and the bright red blood was drenched outward, and he didn't know it at all.
She felt a dull pain in her palms and a pain in her heart.
It's like a wound on oneself.
She led Lan Ting to sit on the chair, sat opposite him herself, and said softly, "What's wrong?" Can I tell my sister? ”
Perhaps it was this "sister" that touched him, Lan Ting hung his head and shrank his whole person, but he also answered her words honestly, and said sullenly: "I still remember." ”
Enough is enough!
Jiang Yunyu is not stupid, she can naturally understand what Lan Ting said.
What an unfortunate thing happened to this child, it was her negligence, she shouldn't have brought Lan Ting here!
Jiang Yunyu thought that the life in the ancient temple would make Lan Ting forget all this, but it turned out that she was wrong.
She felt heartache, got up from the chair, and gently hugged Lan Ting's shoulder, "It's all over, those people won't appear again, we will ...... in the future"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lan Ting's sharp voice: "No-I remember that fifth master!" ”
At this moment he completely collapsed, tears rolling in his eyes, and he desperately tried not to let the tears fall.
What the!
Unexpectedly......
Jiang Yunyu didn't expect this to be the case, is the fifth master they are talking about actually a person?
Jiang Yunyu had never cried in her impression, no matter what time it was, it was the first time she had seen such a crying appearance.
There were droplets of water on his long eyelashes, but the tears didn't fall.
Why is it that the more I grow up, the more squeamish I become.
This is not the case. This is probably a fear burned in his bones, he has endured it for so many years, no one dares to tell him, and no one can confide in him, and now he finally has someone who understands his former situation.
Jiang Yunyu felt very uncomfortable in her heart, he gently took the young man into his arms and patted him on the back gently.
Who is the "Fifth Master" and what he did back then, which left such an unforgettable shadow on Lan Ting, and he can't forget it until now.
Jiang Yunyu didn't dare to ask a word.
She knew about it from Su Su, but she didn't want to figure out the details in her life, and just a little thought about it made her almost out of breath.
If you dig down this line, not only will those old cases that have been sealed for a long time come to light, but you may also know a thing or two about Lan Ting's life experience.
What's even more terrifying is that this group of "supply" kidnappers is only the lowest level, what kind of organization does the "fifth master" belong to, and what is the purpose of their selection......
Prison is the most eerie place, and most of the rumors from the outside world have arisen because of this, I don't know how many people have died here, and how many unjust souls linger here.
The blood on the floor was as if it could never be washed away, dark and red.
Xie Qing sat upright in the armchair, but he didn't show any abruptness.
The dragon pattern on his garment was embroidered with gold thread and shone in the light.
He adapts well everywhere and is like a fish in water. He is not just the prince of a country high in the Jinluan Palace.
"What are you arresting people for?" Xie Qinglin asked in a deep voice.
A few people, you look at me, I look at you, no one dared to reply rashly, but they didn't dare to let this master wait too long, Xie Qinglin sat on the chair and looked at them expressionlessly, and he didn't urge, he was very angry.
After a while, a man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks replied cautiously, "Of course it's to make money, otherwise we wouldn't have done this thankless thing." ”
"That'...... Who gave you the money? ”
"Fifth master, he is generous with money."
"Who is the fifth master?"
The man paused for a moment: "No...... I don't know. ”
Although they have been cooperating for many years, the fifth master is still a very person among them, not only do they not know who his surname is, but they don't even know how old he is and the purpose of buying people.
"Where is he?" Xie Qinglin didn't expect to be able to ask from them.
"He's the one who came to us, and we've never seen him take people anywhere."
Xie Qinglin understood that this group of people was just a group of people who took money to do things, and at most they acted as a substitute for the dead.
"How can I see him?"
"This ......"
How do you say that? He felt that the fifth master was a person with great powers, and he would always be able to send news to them unconsciously in the right century.
It's scary enough to think about it, I don't know when I'm being targeted.
He thought for a while: "Yes...... There is such a person......"
"We don't know where she went."
The brothers who chased him out were all turned into corpses, and he shuddered at the thought of this.
When Xie Qinglin heard this, his heart calmed down, Lan Qian's girl was used to being smart, and the people who went out to chase her were all dead, so presumably she should be safe and sound now......
Who killed him?
What is the relationship between Lan Qian and that person? Will the two of them be in the same place now?
"Your Highness, as far as the minister can see, most of the 'fifth masters' on the street have run away."
This is a clear thing.
If he was really secretly observing all this, I'm afraid the news would have reached his ears long ago.
Despite the efforts of all parties to stop it, the construction of Bangyue Tower still started as scheduled.
The Taoist elders deduced the good day and auspicious day calculated by the five elements of the gossip, sacrificed to the land god and the Luban immortal master, and solemnly buried the first stone to lay the foundation.
The emperor even came to the scene and supervised the work of the craftsmen with a solemn face.
The beauty who was in the limelight leaned on him weakly and bonelessly, smiling charmingly, and her dazzling pearls couldn't suppress her gorgeous face.
When Xian Ge and Jiang Yunyu were chatting, they leaked their mouths and told the story of the construction of Bangyue Tower in the palace.
She originally wanted to fool the past, but when she thought about it, there was nothing to hide, Jiang Yunyu would know sooner or later.
He told the original story of how the sleeves were dancing to amaze the world, and then spoiling the harem.
Jiang Yunyu thought alone for a long time.
She had never heard of this person.
In his previous life, he did not have the impression that the Chen family had used beauty tricks.
In his previous life, since Xie Qinglin went on a killing spree in Lizhou, the emperor had already complained about him.
The Chen family's plan succeeded, and the effect was unexpectedly good, so they didn't move other crooked thoughts, such as this kind of asking people to enter the palace to try to frame Xie Qinglin.
Huai Sleeve became an unknown concubine in Xie Ziyu's mansion, and what happened later is unknown.
