Chapter 66: Cross-examination

Several people who came to Xuanwu Kingdom were holding back a breath of anger in their hearts, and they only felt that they were too irresponsible.

There are so many rosters, not to mention dozens of children.

Seeing their anger, Zhou Dongtan touched his nose in disdain.

They can't do this thing, whether they are doing things with the money that Qi Xuan gave them, they naturally listen to Qi Xuan.

Xue Jiaojiao looked at the roster in front of her, these children came from all parts of the imperial city, and she couldn't find a pattern.

Qi Xiao stared at the name for a long time, then raised his head and looked at Zhou Dongqin, "I'm tired of getting a map of the imperial city." ”

Zhou Dongtan nodded and went to get one for him.

Qu celadon leaned over, "What did you find?" ”

Qi Xiao shook his head.

Chu Ci blinked and asked, "Second Senior Brother wants to see if you can connect these places?" ”

Qi Xiao snorted and took the map from Zhou Dongtan's hand.

He held the pen and dropped a dot where each child was, slowly passing it one stroke at a time.

He exchanged the roster on hand with Xu Youzhi, and Xu Youzhi also came over to see his paintings.

"Will it be useful?" Xu Yuzhi asked with some uncertainty.

Qi Xiao didn't say a word, and continued to paint, it took about half an hour, all the black dots were marked, and Qi Xiao connected them one by one.

But it really seems to be just a random selection, and the connected lines are so intricate that you can't tell what the pattern is at all.

Qi Xiao raised his eyebrows and put away his pen.

The map was messy, and he couldn't see anything famous, Xie Congnan had always hated using his brain, grabbed his hair, and asked, "What do you see?" ”

Qi Xiao just shook his head.

Chu Ci sighed, "There is no rule at all, and if this is the case, we won't even be able to find the next family to be kidnapped by the child." ”

"Let's go check on the families of the kidnappers, and we'll split up." Xu Yuzhi suggested.

Xie Congnan nodded.

Xu Yuzhi turned around and instructed his junior brothers and sisters, and whispered a few words.

Xie Congnan also separated several people and took the addresses on the roster to interrogate.

She also called the people of the Demon Hunt Division, who had checked it before, but nothing came of it.

I just don't know what kind of results I will get this time.

Xue Jiaojiao and Shan Ying, together with each other, the first address was Liu's Rouge Shop.

When they got there, they learned that the rouge shop had been closed for days, so they asked the shopkeeper next to them where he lived.

The person next to him pointed the way, Xue Jiaojiao and Shan Ying went over and knocked on the door of the Liu family.

The door was opened by a man, with a scruffy beard and a somewhat haggard look.

He saw the two girls coming, and was visibly puzzled.

"We're here to assist the Monster Hunter Division." Xue Jiaojiao took the initiative to explain.

The man pursed his lips and let them in.

As soon as I walked inside, I smelled a smell of Chinese medicine.

"Uchiko has been sick for several days, and it's no wonder that a few people are surprised." The man walked over, pushed open the door and whispered a few words to the man lying on the bed.

The young woman lying on the bed struggled to her feet, crying, "Is it my child?" Have you found my child? ”

Xue Jiaojiao paused and stood outside the door to look at her.

"Sorry, not yet, we're looking into it."

The woman fell limply on the edge of the bed, and the man comforted her in a low voice: "The doctor said, you can't be too emotional. ”

The woman did not listen, but wept until her eyes were swollen.

Xue Jiaojiao looked at it with mixed tastes, and asked, "Is it convenient to speak?" ”

The man got up and nodded, closed the door and walked out.

"Can you tell me more about the circumstances of the day your child was lost?" Xue Jiaojiao spoke as calmly as she could, observing the man's expression by the way.

"That day......" the man pursed his lips, "my son was playing in the yard, and Madame was sitting on the chaise longue watching him, but it wasn't long before my son suddenly disappeared in front of Madame's eyes, and disappeared alive." ”

Remembering the scene at that time, the man had nightmares, when he was resting, and when he heard the screams and went out to look, the children in the yard were gone.

Xue Jiaojiao's face was a little unpleasant, she disappeared out of thin air, and when she just came in, there were no traces of the magic circle on the ground, which was really strange.

They went on to visit many homes, and they all said the same thing, the child just disappeared in front of their eyes.

It was a day of watching the parents of the children crying and dragging them to ask if their children would ever come back alive.

Xue Jiaojiao couldn't answer, after all, she didn't have a clue now.

They fled back to the Demon Hunting Division, and a few of them also returned, but Xie Congnan and Qu Qingci had not yet arrived.

Qi Xiao was still looking at the map, not knowing what he was thinking.

Xu Yuzhi came over with his junior brother and stared at it for a while.

"What can Qi Daoyou see?"

Qi Xiao looked up at him and said slowly, "No." ”

Xu Youzhi knew that Qi Xiao had a cold temperament, but he didn't expect to be like this with few words, so he had to helplessly support his forehead.

The junior brother in the back poked his head out, looked at the messy map that was drawn, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth slightly, this couldn't see the clues at all.

In the evening, Xie Congnan also came back, sweating profusely, and sat on the chair as soon as he came back.

"No, it's all the same rhetoric, I also went to the place where they disappeared to see, there is no remnant of the magic circle at all, it stands to reason that if the disappearance out of thin air is done by someone who knows how to practice, then it is most likely to use the magic circle to take people away."

Xie Congnan rubbed his face, puzzled, Xuanwu Kingdom really gave them a problem.

Chu Ci lay on the table, his face gloomy.

"People have disappeared for more than a month, if you can't even find the bones, how can you explain to them?"

Others also said that Zhou Dongtan's face was flushed, although he didn't explicitly say that they didn't care about the life or death of the people in the past few days, but he still felt very slapped in the face.

"There was one more person who didn't ask." Xue Jiaojiao interrupted them.

Dozens of pairs of eyes looked at it in unison.

"The noble concubine of the palace."

In the course of a day, they had already interrogated the missing child's family, but they had not been to the palace yet, and the concubine's child was the last to go missing, and the date was the closest.

When everyone thinks about it, it's true.

"I'll go tell the emperor." Shan Ying took the initiative to speak.

Let a few of them say that Qi Xuan must have many concerns, but Shan Ying is different, Shan Ying went to beg him, maybe Qi Xuan let them pass.

After settling down, they rested for the night and headed for the palace.

Only the eleven people from Fenglingdu and Yun Mengze went back this time, and the Demon Hunting Division still stayed there.

Qi Xuan knew their intentions and was a little hesitant.

Not to mention the reason for the concubine's body, it is not good for the harem to let them enter and exit at will.

Shan Ying's eyes rolled and said, "I'll just bring a few female cultivators, don't bring more." ”
