Chapter 151: Arrest and Arrest
Shen Muzhi said: "Lord Prefect, the people of the Hellfire Hall are so high-profile, have you ever wondered why they are like this?" ”
"They can use ordinary weapons, not like the corpse in Lu Mansion now, and the wounds can be seen at a glance that the people of the Hellfire Temple did it."
The prefect of Chang'an listened to Shen Muzhi's words and said thoughtfully: "What does Lord Shen mean...... The people of the Hellfire Hall didn't want to clear their suspicions at all, just to let others know that the case of the Lu Mansion destroying the door was done by the people of their Hellfire Temple? ”
Shen Muzhi nodded lightly, affirming the idea of the Chang'an Prefect.
The prefect of Chang'an was even more confused, and asked: "But the Hellfire Temple did this, so that everyone knew that they were murderers, what was the purpose?" ”
Shen Muzhi lowered his eyes and said, "I don't know much about this, maybe it's a provocation, the provocative government knows that they can't catch the Hellfire Palace." ”
The prefect of Chang'an thought about it, what Shen Muzhi said was reasonable, and he suddenly couldn't get angry, and said: "What a hell fire hall, you dare to provoke the government!" ”
"This official must arrest the Hellfire Temple!"
The prefect of Chang'an let out a big word, and after thinking about it, he couldn't catch the Hellfire Hall alone, and this matter still depended on Shen Muzhi.
Thinking of this, the prefect of Chang'an looked at Shen Muzhi and said, "What Lord Shen said just now, if you want to let the Hellfire Hall take the initiative to come back, then Lord Shen must have a way to catch the Hellfire Palace?" ”
Shen Muzhi smiled slightly and said, "Yes." ”
"The people of the Hellfire Hall should think that we want to arrest the two little guys and make a hasty decision, but these two little guys have nothing to do with the Hellfire Hall at all, so according to their ideas, they will definitely find a way to get the two little guys in the prison to get involved with them."
The prefect of Chang'an suddenly became interested and said, "According to what Lord Shen has seen, what methods will they use to make the little people in the prison have a relationship with the Hellfire Palace." ”
Shen Muzhi chuckled lightly and said, "I don't know about this, let's wait and see what happens, anyway, the people from the Hellfire Hall will definitely come." ”
As soon as the prefect of Chang'an thought that the people of the Hellfire Hall were about to throw themselves into the net, he said excitedly: "Lord Shen, I will go and send more people to monitor the cell, and let them report to us as soon as there is any movement!" ”
Shen Muzhi nodded, noncommittal.
It was night, and the two arrested little guys were being locked up in a cell at the moment, sighing.
One of the servants looked up at the number of officials guarding the door, sighed, and said, "I sent so many people to guard the two of us, it seems that I am really afraid that the two of us will run away, and it is clear that I want to push the charges on the two of us." ”
Another servant replied: "Alas, the two of us are also unlucky, we finally survived, and in the end we have to go down to Huangquan to accompany the master." ”
The two little guys hung their heads, but at this time, they suddenly smelled a strange aroma, and the two little guys suddenly felt that their heads became groggy, and the whole person was in a daze, and after a while, they fainted.
And the officials who guarded these two small houses did not escape the aroma and fell down one after another.
When the whole prison had fainted, two men dressed in black quietly walked into the prison, took the key from the servant, and opened the door of the cell where the two servants were kept.
The two men in black walked into the cell, squatted on the ground, turned the two little guys on the ground over, let the two little guys face up, and carefully studied the faces of the two little guys.
One of the black-clothed men said, "Black Flame, what to do with these two people?" ”
The man in black called Black Flame said expressionlessly, "It's very simple, kill it." ”
"The two of them were originally from the Lu Mansion, and they should have died together with the destruction of the Lu Mansion, but it was a fluke that they became the fish that slipped through the net and lived for so many more days."
The other man in black listened to Hei Yan's words, nodded approvingly, and said, "I still think that Shen Zhuangyuanlang from the capital specially came to Chang'an to investigate this case, what difference will it be, it turns out that it is the same as the straw bag in the Chang'an Prefect's Mansion, he wants to arrest someone casually." ”
"It's also the first time that our Hellfire Temple has done such a big thing as slaughtering people, and we have done it so beautifully, how can we let this group of straw bales put our deeds on others so casually."
Black Flame urged: "Don't say it, hurry up, it's not good if someone comes." ”
As he spoke, Black Flame took out two human skin masks from his arms and handed one of them to the other man in black.
After the two of them skillfully and quickly put on the human skin masks, their faces turned out to be exactly the same as the two little guys on the ground.
The man in black complained: "Black Flame, you asked me to pretend to be this short again, and I chose an easy one myself." ”
Hearing this, Black Flame said, "Don't talk nonsense, I'm taller than you, and naturally the shorter ones belong to you." ”
Although the man in black complained, his body moved quickly. The man in black twisted his limbs in a strange arc, and the bones on his body "clicked" a few times, and the man in black became shorter, and his body became exactly the same as the little guy he was playing on the ground.
The black flame on the side also quickly changed its shape.
The two of them looked at each other, and after confirming that they had made no mistake, they squatted down and began to take off the prison clothes of the two little guys on the ground, wanting to put the prison clothes on themselves and completely replace the two little guys.
At this moment, a round of applause came.
Shen Muzhi walked into the cell and said lightly: "The two people of the Hellfire Hall really called Mu Zhi to have a long understanding, although they had already guessed that you people from the Hellfire Hall should be able to change their faces, but after seeing this wonderful kung fu with their own eyes, Mu Zhi still felt unbelievable, and even his body size could be changed into the appearance he wanted." ”
The two men in black didn't expect that the two of them, Shen Muzhi, who thought it was a straw bag, would appear here, and then they realized that they had fallen for Shen Muzhi's plan.
After realizing that they had been tricked, the two men in black did not run away, because they knew that although there was only one person in front of them, it was absolutely impossible for Shen Muzhi to come to them alone, even if they knocked down Shen Muzhi in front of them and escaped, there must be a prefect of Chang'an outside with a large number of people waiting for the two of them to throw themselves into the net.
Black Flame stared at Shen Muzhi deeply, and said calmly: "I really underestimated Lord Shen, and I deserve to be the champion from the capital." ”
Shen Muzhi asked, "Aren't you two running?" ”
Black Flame said: "Since the two of us were originally here to replace these two little guys, now that the two of us have been caught by Lord Shen, there is no difference." ”
Shen Muzhi shook his head and said, "It's different, now the true colors of the two of you have been seen by me." ”
When Black Flame heard this, his pupils couldn't help but shrink.
Shen Muzhi continued: "Although I don't know how you two plan to make these two little guys have anything to do with your Hellfire Hall after you two replace them. ”
"Actually, it doesn't matter if the two of you don't come, even if the criminals are these two little guys when the case is closed, but everyone outside knows that this was done by the Hellfire Temple."
Black Flame smiled when he heard this, and said, "Although Lord Shen is aware of everything, he still guessed wrong. ”
Shen Muzhi raised his eyes and looked at the black flame.
Black Flame said firmly: "I don't want these two little guys to become the people of our Hellfire Temple, I want to make this case impossible to close." ”
"After pretending to be a little girl, the two of us naturally have a way to escape, but you have lost your scapegoat."
Black Flame suddenly laughed twice and said, "Without the criminals, this case can only be suspended, and your government will only appear more and more incompetent." ”
Shen Muzhi looked at the black flame deeply and said, "What about now?" You two have been caught by the incompetent government, how are you going to escape? ”
Black Flame smiled confidently: "This doesn't bother Lord Shen, the two of us have our own methods, just rely on the straw bale of the Chang'an prefect, and I can't be locked up." ”
Shen Muzhi stared at Black Flame's eyes and asked, "Do you hate the official mansion?" ”
Black Flame said lightly: "This doesn't bother Lord Shen anymore. ”
Black Flame asked Shen Muzhi rhetorically, and said, "I would like to ask Lord Shen, how did Lord Shen know that the people of our Hellfire Hall would come here?" ”
Shen Muzhi smiled slightly and said, "In the morning, at the Yamen, didn't you two see it clearly, thinking that I and the prefect of Chang'an were going to arrest two little guys for the crime?" How can you people in the Hellfire Temple endure this, that's why I'm here to wait for the rabbit. ”
Black Flame's eyes widened slightly, and he asked, "Lord Shen saw that we were from the Hellfire Hall in the morning?" ”
Shen Muzhi nodded lightly and said, "You guys sent someone to pretend to be Wang Jie, the gatekeeper of the Lu Mansion, right?" ”
Black Flame nodded, waiting for Shen Muzhi to continue.
Shen Muzhi continued: "The people who pretended to be Wang Ji killed Zhang Ye, another guard at that time, and the people of your Hellfire Hall successfully entered the Lu Mansion and quickly slaughtered the Lu Mansion, and the people of the Lu Mansion didn't even have enough time to react to resist, so they were killed by you." ”
Black Flame said with admiration in his eyes: "What Lord Shen said is not bad, as if Lord Shen witnessed it from the side when we started. ”
Shen Muzhi smiled faintly and said: "Because there is only Zhang Ye's blood on the vermilion lacquer gate, I have traveled all over the Lu Mansion and only found this suspicious point, so I naturally have to investigate from this point." ”
"I went to see Zhang Ye's body, Zhang Ye is not like other people in Lu Mansion, he was killed with an ordinary sword, and the wounds of other people in Lu Mansion are all special triangular shapes. I think this is because the person who pretended to be Wang Jun killed Zhang Ye, because he pretended to be a guard, and did not bring you a special weapon from the Hellfire Temple, so Zhang Ye, who was the first to die, could only use an ordinary guard knife. ”
After saying that, Shen Muzhi glanced lightly at the weapon hanging from Black Flame's waist, which was obviously shorter than an ordinary guard knife.
After listening to Shen Muzhi's words, Black Flame took out the weapon on his waist, opened the scabbard, and pulled out the knife, and the blade was indeed made into a triangular shape.
Black Flame said: "Lord Shen is also right about this. ”
Shen Muzhi retracted his gaze, no longer looked at the weapon, and continued: "I went to look at the roster of the Lu Mansion and found that the number of people did not match the total number of corpses. I asked the prefect of Chang'an, and the prefect of Chang'an said that there were four people who survived. ”
"I went to check the guard schedule on the day of the incident in Lufu, and found that it was Wang Jie who was guarding the door with Zhang Ye, but since Wang Jie was pretended by your people, there should be no Wang Jie's corpse, but he told me that there was Wang Jie's corpse."
"And the body was found in the courtyard, I guessed that Wang Jie's body was actually another guard's, but it was just replaced with Wang Jie's waist card, after all, the people in Lu Mansion are gone, and no one knows what the real Wang Ji looks like."
Shen Muzhi suddenly seemed to remember something, and said: "Oh, no, there are two witnesses in the Lu Mansion, that is, these two little guys on the ground, but our prefect will not find out the point of doubting the true identity of Wang Jie's corpse, so naturally there is no need to worry about letting these two little guys identify whether the corpse is Wang Jie himself." ”
Shen Muzhi frowned, and said suspiciously: "It's just that Shen thinks that changing the waist card on the corpse and letting other guards pretend to be Wang Ji is really too much." ”
Black Flame smiled and said, "Lord Shen is really thoughtful. ”
"Because we can't hand over Wang Jie's body, Wang Ji is not actually pretending to be our people, but Wang Ji is our people from the Hellfire Temple."
Shen Muzhi was surprised when he heard this.
Black Flame pointed to the man in black beside him and continued, "That's right, Wang Jun is him. ”
"After all, it's such a big thing as Tumen, it's hard not to make a mistake just by temporarily pretending to be a guard from the Lu Mansion to sneak in."
"Therefore, our people have been lurking in Lu Mansion for three years, and we have found out the distribution of guards and shift change times in Lu Mansion, so we have waited for this opportunity."
"The corpse can't be disguised with a human skin mask, and this human skin mask can only be maintained by relying on the temperature of the human face, so naturally you can't just find a corpse and pretend to be a king."
"But Wang Jie naturally can't pretend to be a surviving guard, after all, the guards at the door just happened to go out to run errands, which is too suspicious."
"Therefore, in order to make the number of corpses right, we can only find a guard corpse and replace it with Wang Jie's waist card, and then Wang Ji will use the identity of this guard to become a survivor."
"Originally, we thought that no one would care about doing this little action, after all, so many people died in the Lu Mansion, how could anyone be entangled in whether the corpse of a guard was real."
"I didn't expect it, but I couldn't escape Lord Shen's eyes."
Shen Muzhi sighed and said, "I wasn't sure, but when I heard the prefect say that there was exactly one guard among the four survivors, I thought about seeing these four people with my own eyes." ”
Black Flame asked Shen Muzhi and said, "Then Lord Shen saw the four of us, how did he know that the guards among these four people must be from the Hellfire Palace?" ”
Shen Muzhi looked at Black Flame's eyes and said, "Not only the guards, but two of these four people are from the Hellfire Palace. ”
Black Flame's eyes widened in surprise when he heard this, and he exclaimed, "Now I really admire Lord Shen, Lord Shen is really good eyesight." Since Lord Shen knows that these two little guys are innocent, then he must know that the maid is also from the Hellfire Palace, Lord Shen, how can you see it? ”
Shen Muzhi said lightly: "Look at the hands." ”
Black Flame was stunned when he heard Shen Mu's concise words, and when Black Flame and the other black-clothed king heard this, they couldn't help but stretch out their hands and take a closer look at what was wrong with their hands.
Shen Muzhi looked at the calluses on Black Flame's hand and said, "You are the one who dressed as a maid in the morning, although your face and body are exactly the same as a woman, and your voice is imitated like a woman, but the calluses on your hand betrayed you." ”
"Even if you can change the bones on your fingers with this magical skill, the calluses are still there."
"Even if the maid was used to doing rough work, the calluses on her hands would not look like this. This hand, at first glance, is used to practicing martial arts on weekdays. ”
Shen Muzhi remembered that when he saw Black Flame's hand in the morning, he thought of the peach on his house, which was also the callus that only people who practiced martial arts.
Shen Muzhi paused and continued: "It's too unusual for a maid to know martial arts. ”
Black Flame looked at his hand and said with some annoyance: "This is true, it seems that you will have to pay attention to the details on your hand in the future." ”
"It's just that this palm can't be attached to the palm mask like the face, and if you stick this thing on your hand, your movements will be sluggish."
Shen Muzhi ignored Black Flame's complaints and continued, "As for the guard's hand, there is nothing wrong with it. ”
"However, the guards themselves are the object of my suspicion, and you can only pretend to be the remaining maids because the two little guys are holding each other."
Hei Yan nodded and said, "Yes, I heard that the prefect of Chang'an was going to summon the four surviving people, although Wang Ji was clean, his brain was not very bright, so I could only kill the original real maid and pretend to be a fake maid to follow him to prevent him from having any problems alone." ”
The king on the side heard Black Flame say that his brain was not bright, and he couldn't help but glare at Black Flame angrily.
Black Flame ignored Wang Ji and continued: "Lord Shen is really a good brain, which is really admired by Black Flame. ”
Shen Muzhi smiled lightly and said, "I'm just guessing, I can't come up with evidence, I'm just lucky, if you don't come to this prison, I really can't help it." ”
Black Flame spread his hands and said, "Since Lord Shen has caught the two of us, we won't resist this time, so let's just let Lord Shen catch it once." ”
Black Flame suddenly said in a cold tone, "But, Lord Shen, if you want to catch the Hellfire Hall behind me, it's not as easy as catching the two of us." ”
Shen Muzhi suddenly burst out laughing, making the black flame laugh.
Black Flame said suspiciously: "What are you laughing at, Lord Shen, is it true that Lord Shen is confident to catch everyone in the Hellfire Palace?" ”
Shen Muzhi put away his laughter and said solemnly: "You misunderstood, do you really think that the emperor sent me to Chang'an to investigate the Lu family's case, really trying to catch the real culprit and avenge the Lu family?" ”
"The emperor has a lot of opportunities in the capital, and the Lu family is not good for him."
"The reason why the emperor sent me here is actually for your Hellfire Palace."
Hearing this, Black Flame's eyes widened in surprise at first, and then, Black Flame understood.
Black Flame's eyes were very cold, and he said coldly: "Does the emperor want us to do things for him?" ”
Shen Muzhi nodded.
Black Flame categorically refused, "Impossible. ”
