Chapter 35: The Dead Man Speaks

Sun Youxiang's state looked even worse, and when Gu Changming appeared outside the prison door, Little Phoenix heard a strange and piercing sound, and he needed to think carefully to tell if it was the sound of his nails slashing the wall.

"He's writing." Gu Changming asked the guards to open the cell door and let him in.

"Childe, don't look at him quiet at this moment, if you go in, he will immediately attack people." The guard's face was palpitating, "He's already bitten someone to death." ”

"I know, I've seen the man." Gu Changming insisted on letting him open the door, "Since I am on business with you, you should know very well that even if Sun Youxiang is really crazy and may hurt people, he will definitely not have the ability to kill, let alone the guards of the prison." ”

"What do you say?" The guard reluctantly took out the key on his waist and leaned over to open the cell door, "When you enter, I will lock the door immediately, just in case." This girl is going in too? ”

"She doesn't go in, she waits outside." Gu Changming gave the little phoenix a slightly calm look, she had to wait outside. In the prison, it seemed that everything was under control, but he could smell the faint unease.

The little phoenix pressed the position of her waist with her backhand, her dagger was placed here, and when she entered the prison, she didn't search her body, let alone ask them to hand over her weapon. Since Gu Changming's Hidden Blade was on her body, and she was already on guard against Sun Youxiang, she was not too worried.

"I mean Sun Youxiang attacked your colleague, but that person didn't necessarily die because of him." Gu Changming lowered his head and brought the lantern into the cell.

Early in the morning, he could see that Sun Youxiang was writing with his back to the person, and he was writing with his fingernails in the wall. The walls of the dungeon were not clean, and there were many dirt and blood stains, so I couldn't see anything clearly from a distance.

The lantern flickered in front of him, Sun Youxiang's movements stopped, and the sound that made the eardrums flutter stopped at the same time.

The two people outside the cell became nervous at the same time, for fear that Sun Youxiang would find someone approaching, and then they broke out and hurt Gu Changming.

"Master Sun, Master Sun." Gu Chang knew that Sun Youxiang was no longer in the official position, but he still chose the title that was most familiar to him, so that his acceptance could be improved.

Sun Youxiang's neck and shoulders tightened into a strange arc, looking a little rickety, more like he was about to curl up his body, and as if he would jump up and run away at any time.

Gu Changming revoked the latter for him: "Master Sun, this is the prison, and it is heavily guarded outside, and ordinary people can't get out." ”

Sun Youxiang still maintained such a posture, and Gu Changming sent the lantern forward again: "Is it convenient for me to see what Master Sun wants to write?" ”

The mottled marks on the wall, the depth that the nails can be cut out is limited, Gu Changming felt a little troubled, and tried to focus his gaze, and in the pile of blood stains, he could barely distinguish the first line of words: a drum, grass and trees. Two drumming, memory blank.

The whole person seemed to be struck by lightning, Gu Changming could barely hear other sounds around him in an instant, and all his attention was focused on the wall.

The little phoenix outside the cell door saw him slam into the closest position to the wall, and his fingers explored on it, as if it was not written by Sun Youxiang, but a treasure map containing rare treasures.

At the same time, Sun Youxiang moved. The bottom of his throat let out a squeaky sound like a frightened beast, and he suddenly pounced on Gu Changming's position.

The little phoenix let out an exclamation, Gu Changming had already noticed it, and sent the lantern forward with his right hand, the lantern that seemed to be papery was brittle, but it blocked Sun Youxiang's whole person.

Sun Youxiang seemed to be struggling with what was blocking the way, and as soon as he lowered his head, Gu Changming's wrist shook, and half of the candle in the lantern flew out, aiming at his face, and the firelight flashed, frightening Sun Youxiang to take a few steps back, but he didn't dare to pounce on him again.

Gu Changming's eyes were quick, and before the candle hit the ground, he put it back in his hand and put it back in the lantern. Everything is flowing smoothly but in an instant, not to mention that Sun Youxiang didn't react, the guards outside are all snorting, such skills, no wonder the artist is bold.

The little phoenix secretly breathed a sigh of relief, just now a heart was about to hang in his throat, knowing that Gu Changming was a very cautious person, and he would never let himself be in danger casually, but seeing it was another matter.

Gu Changming shook the lantern in his hand, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "Master Sun, you can't hurt me, do you want to do it again?" ”

Sun Youxiang's eyebrows and eyes were burned a little by the flames, and he was hot at this time, and he seemed to be able to understand what he said, and slowly shook his head.

"Others say that you are not only crazy, but also seem to have increased your martial arts overnight, and even the guards of the prison can be killed at will, but I don't believe it, what do you say?" Gu Changming slowly put down the only weapon in his hand, that is, the lantern, and waited for him to bend down and get up again, the lantern was on the ground, and he was empty-handed, "I don't mean to harm you, you should know better than anyone else." ”

"How is it possible, he can't understand us at all." The guard didn't believe his ears and eyes, "He must be crazy." ”

"Pretended." Little Phoenix explained beside him, "If he doesn't pretend, I'm afraid he won't be able to survive the first batch." ”

"We can't survive anything, we haven't planned to start using torture yet. Besides, wasn't he transferred from the Criminal Division, and how did he survive there? The guard suddenly wanted to talk to Gu Changming from the bottom of his heart, but he was still a little afraid to let him enter the prison door and stay by Sun Youxiang's side, after all, he saw the body of the dead colleague, his whole body was covered in blood, and his throat seemed to have been opened by another mouth, and he was constantly spitting blood out.

"He didn't suffer much in the Criminal Division." Little Phoenix squinted at him, "What do you call it?" ”

"You are very bold, my name is Qingsong, I have been on duty in the prison for seven years, and I have seen many dead people, but this time it is too different." Qing Song saw that the little phoenix was really calm, and he had some admiration in his heart, after all, she was a young girl, how did she practice her courage to be like this.

"This time it's different." Little Phoenix walked over and brought the lantern that Qing Song had placed next to him, and helped the two of them inside shine a soft light, "There are too many unexpected clues." ”

"Master Sun, I know that your voice is rotten and you can't speak, so I just need you to nod and shake your head. I'll ask a few of the simplest questions and I hope you'll be able to cooperate. Since you have entered here, you should also know what crime you have committed, and the execution of the crime is also death, but the method of death can be completely different. Gu Changming's voice is clear, and under the cloudy environment, it makes people feel comfortable with a fresh breeze.

Sun Youxiang grabbed one hand on the wall and stared at him very vigilantly, neither saying good nor bad.

"A drum, grass and trees. Two drumming, memory blank, three drumming, past wounds. These are what you wrote on the wall, if my guess is correct, I should have written all the way to the nine drums, I once entered the Nine Nine Mountains, and in the deepest tomb at the bottom of the mountain, I saw the three words written in the coffin: Nine Xiao Drums. Gu Changming was saying word by word, staring at Sun Youxiang's subtle reaction.

Although Sun Youxiang never spoke, his eyes glowed with a different luster when he heard the three words of Jiuxiao Drum.

"No one has ever told me what this seems to be a nursery rhyme has to do with the three words of Jiuxiao Drum, but I have a feeling that the two are one, I don't know if what I said is right?" Gu Changming's gaze fell gently, so that Sun Youxiang didn't feel any hostility, "It's time for you to nod or shake your head." ”

Sun Youxiang's gaze shifted away from Gu Changming and landed on the wall beside him, as if looking at the handwriting he had worked hard to leave.

His mouth was moving, and though he was silent, he could still make out that he was reading the words on the wall.

"Master Sun, why did you harm yourself, and why did you pretend to be crazy, there must be a reason, right?" Gu Changming didn't give him too much time to think about it, and some reactions were best to give back as soon as possible. Once there is something superfluous, then it is likely that all you will get is a lie.

"Someone has infiltrated the prison and given you a threat, or who are you covering up? You're still willing to sacrifice yourself to save that man, aren't you? Gu Changming's questions came one after another, he didn't need Sun Youxiang's answer anymore, just looked at which sentence he couldn't help but show a strange demeanor.

"The man can't speak anymore." Qingsong, who was outside, seemed to be even more anxious, "No matter how many questions you ask, what's the use of not having an answer?" ”

Little Phoenix knows Gu Changming too deeply, and the tacit understanding between the two is high: "No answer, he can let the dead speak." ”

Qingsong couldn't understand it even more, so he almost scratched his ears and cheeks: "How can a dead man speak?" ”

"Changming Gongzi, you can depict the appearance of the suspect at the scene of the crime, through various clues, haven't you heard of this legend? In many cases, the victim had already swallowed his breath before the official arrived, so wasn't that the ability to make the dead speak? When the little phoenix said this, her eyes flashed with crystalline light, and she was full of pride.

"I've heard of it, and you say it's a legend. Changming Gongzi, he is Gu Wuduo's son Gu Changming? Qing Song finally figured out the words of the little phoenix.

"You've put us in prison, it won't be because you don't know our true identity." Little Phoenix asked playfully.

"Didn't you say that the person holding the Qingyun Six Chase Order can come and go at will, so I didn't ask about your identity at all, you should have been to the prison, and I didn't do it the first two times." Qing Song's expression was a little embarrassed.

Little Phoenix didn't care if what he said was true or not, what she had to wait for was what Gu Changming could get from Sun Youxiang.

Just when several people thought that Sun Youxiang would at least react, Gu Changming, who was facing him, saw Sun Youxiang's eyes quickly white, and then the whole person seemed to be out of control, unable to control his body, and after trembling all over his body, he pounced on Gu Changming again.

This time, both the speed and the strength were far beyond the previous time, Gu Changming had no lantern in his hand that could be resisted, Sun Youxiang's head was already within the nearest range, and he opened his mouth at him, there seemed to be blood stains on his teeth, and the teeth reflected sharp light.

The space in the cell is really limited, if it was in an open space, Gu Changming would not take such a sneak attack in his eyes at all, and he could retreat at any time, but as soon as he unfolded his body, his back was already attached to the wall, and Sun Youxiang had no intention of letting go at all, and bit him hard at the weak point of his throat again.
