There was silence in the village, and groups of people were surrounded by soldiers within the blades, and the cold light reflected on the cheeks of each of them, and the sweat of everyone was faintly visible.

Under the military authority, no one dared to disobey orders, and they all said that there was one, how to do it, and how to do it were all arranged clearly.

Yan Wuling raised her head, her eyes reflected the crowd, and everywhere she looked, there were people with drooping hair. But when she looked closely, she suddenly noticed that from time to time someone would sneak into her gaze.

These gazes are mixed with too many complex emotions, as if they want to pull her into it and devour her.

"I don't think they believe in us. They should not have listened to a word of what we said. ”

Yan Wuling looked at the people in the audience with some frowns, and finally turned his eyes away, and could only say to An Zhe truthfully.

An Zhe had no choice but to comfort her in a low voice: "Whether they trust it or not is secondary, and the most important thing at the moment is to find clues." ”

When all the people in the village were assembled, Changyin walked over to the two.

"Prince Qiqi, all the people are here. It's time to go. ”

An Zhe let out a soft "um" and then ordered.

"Changyin led a column of soldiers to search the houses in the village, and the rest of the people and the prince are here to guard the village."

As soon as the words fell, Changyin led the soldiers to the house where the villagers were resting. This series of actions provoked the masses to start talking again.

"What is this?"

A voice came from the crowd, Yan Wuling was quickly attracted and listened attentively.

"Relying on a lot of people to bully us, besides, the Son of Heaven does not eat the fireworks of the world, how do you know that we are suffering in the world here."

"Yes, it's still us who suffers after all."

These words didn't sound good to Yan Wuling's ears, they obviously didn't do anything, and for the good of these people, they even had to end up with such a bad reputation.

A long sigh is just a sigh in the end.

After the kung fu of a stick of incense passed, Changyin came back with the soldiers.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I didn't find any other clues. The whole village has been searched by us over and over again, and everything is as usual. ”

This is not good news for Yan Wuling and them. An Zhe's brows furrowed, and his resolute silhouette was full of impatience.

These words were also heard by the masses below, and they all started to ridicule their minds.

"The Son of Heaven can't find out what's wrong, it's better to go home and rest early."

"Bold! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not allow you to talk about it! ”

Changyin was furious, and a long sword came out of her hand, and the sword pointed in the direction of the person with the broken mouth, and the white light flickered, frightening a group of people to avoid it.

An Zhe didn't find a clue, and thinking about what the man said, there was some truth in it.

"That's it, long tone. Command all the soldiers, and let them go. ”

The matter has come to this point, how can the bamboo basket be empty? Yan Wuling also turned to look at An Zhe, and finally saw each other in the eyes of both parties, and settled down slightly.

"Since there are no clues, let them rest for a good time. Tomorrow we will start from somewhere else. ”

An Zhe had already made up his mind, and Changyin also obeyed the order to let the soldiers loosen their grip on the villagers and get out of the way.

Most of the people here were frightened, and in the face of the black oppressive soldiers, they had long wanted to escape, but at this moment, it seemed that they had finally broken free from the cage and ran out.

The child accidentally fell on the ground, and was soon picked up by an adult and continued to flee, as if they were going to eat the people.

"The village doesn't have much communication with the outside world, and they are indeed frightened. Changyin, send some more people to keep an eye on them, and remember, if anything goes wrong, you must report it honestly. ”

An Zhe watched the disappearance of the crowd, but there was a mystery in his heart, I am afraid that these things are not as simple as they imagined, this is just the beginning.

In order to facilitate the investigation, An Zhe temporarily asked people to set up a tent in the village, and discussed the next plan with Yan Wuling when he had nothing to do.

"They are afraid of the living, and perhaps even more afraid of us. After all, the identity is here, and it alarms them no matter what. ”

During the day, the people in the village closed their houses and did not want to come out to meet people. Until the sun set, Yan Wuling and his party did not make any more progress.

Just as a few people were worried, a soldier hurried into the tent.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qiqi, something happened in the village."

When the two arrived at the scene of the accident, they saw several people rolling on the ground with their heads in their hands, whimpering and unable to speak, and a woman crying next to them.

Yan Wuling didn't know the situation, so she had to ask the woman to stop crying and ask her: "Don't cry yet, tell us quickly, what's going on here?" ”

There was still a string of tears on the woman's face, and she wanted to run away after seeing who it was, but she was caught by Yan Wuling and prevented her from escaping.

"These are your relatives, if you don't say anything, you will be the ones who will suffer."

Hearing this, the woman was visibly flustered, slurred and weeping.

"I say, I say, they are my brothers, and the innermost one who died is my husband!"

"They don't look like they're the same age as you, but they're your brothers?"

An Zhe knew the problem in an instant, and asked the woman directly. "Are you lying?"

The woman did not know what had happened, and asked her for no reason.

"It's fine during the day, but they're getting old all of a sudden. I'm not lying! No lying! What I say is true! ”

Yan Wuling and An Zhe glanced at each other, and the two of them both left the house and began to re-investigate.

Since there was no one this time, there was a group of villagers outside the woman's house, and when they saw Yan Wuling and An Zhe coming out, they immediately made a commotion.

"They must have brought us something unlucky!"

"It's all their fault!"

"Dead again, dead again. What the hell are we going to do? ”

Although the gossip was not loud, they could vaguely hear what the content was, and of course An Zhe would not let them say it, and his eyes made them tighten their mouths.

"Woe comes from the mouth."

Yan Wuling thought back to the group of victims and decided to go back to the house to do another examination. When she stepped into the house, she found that the woman had stabilized herself, stopped crying, and was carrying her brothers to the gentle bed with some soldiers.

Yan Wuling and An Zhe walked to the corpse, which was already covered with a white cloth. If nothing else, the body will be cremated in a few days.

At that time, all the secrets will be unraveled.

Yan Wuling took out some silver needles, pressed them on his chest cavity and abdomen, took them out and put them to his nose and sniffed lightly, frowning.

"Sure enough."

When she said this, she must have found something, and An Zhe immediately lowered her voice and asked her, "What do you see?" Is it the same as Li Mao's situation before? ”

Yan Wuling didn't expect An Zhe to completely guess her thoughts, and nodded in some surprise.

"How do you know?"

An Zhe said: "It is impossible for the murderer to be replaced suddenly, and if a murder case occurs in this situation, the only certain situation is that he is giving us a boost." We need to stop this investigation immediately. ”

Then he used the same trick to get our attention even more. And there are no other clues at the moment. He wants us to go and get out. ”

This remark is not unreasonable, Yan Wuling also knows the seriousness of the matter, it is impossible to stay any longer at present, and the previous investigation is useless, so you still have to start from other places.

"He was poisoned, too. But my ability is limited. Still can't find out the specific toxin, but judging from the specific image, he is similar to Li Mao's death. That's why I speculated that the same person was poisoned. ”

If so, then the situation will be as complicated as An Zhe thinks.

An Zhe lowered his head and pondered, and called a long voice: "Send a few people to guard these people alone, you must be careful, you can't let people die inexplicably." ”

After giving the order, Anzhe walked out of the house again, surrounded by the flickering light of the bonfire, and the villagers had not left yet, as if they were waiting for them.

But both An Zhe and Yan Wuling are aware of the fact that it is very likely that the murderer who poisoned them is hiding among them. Watch their reactions in the shadows to figure out what to do next.

"Prince Ben feels a little tired, Wu Ling, let's go back and rest first."

An Zhe suddenly said this in front of the people around him, although outsiders looked normal, Yan Wuling always felt that something was wrong. Since this was outside, Yan Wuling didn't say much.

After the two returned to the tent, Yan Wuling was sure that no one was following, so he asked, "Are we resting like this?" ”

The next moment, the guard's clothes were thrown from An Zhe's side and accurately stuffed into Yan Wuling's arms. Yan Wuling hugged a ball of clothes and didn't understand, and looked up to see An Zhe's smiling eyes.

"The night has just begun, how can it be so easy to let them go. I'm just luring the snake out of the hole. ”

He told the people around him about his itinerary, and then returned to the tent with Yan Wuling as usual, just to hide people's eyes.

"If we were dressed up as usual, we would have noticed something. The whole village is of one mind, and has a great sense of precaution against us, and it will definitely not be investigated. ”

"But it's not the same with their clothes."

Yan Wuling can also understand, after all, the soldiers are just doing things for others, and they are not conspicuous anymore, and this costume is also a common thing to patrol around, and they can do a lot of things.

Thinking of this, it was clear at a glance, and she responded to An Zhe:

"Then do as you say, since we have changed our clothes this time, we can't startle the snake again, and we must be careful in everything."

"They are doing it in secret, and we are investigating it in secret. That's how you can find the real clues. ”
