Chapter VIII Investigation

"Master Zhao, can you tell me what happened?"

In the pavilion, Qin Chuan looked at Zhao Wouji, and after a brief conversation, he already knew that it was the eldest grandson of the Zhao family, who had been passed down for three generations.

Zhao Wuji nodded, looked at Zhao Li on the side, and said, "Li'er, you tell Qin Shaoxia what happened." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Li, who was already waiting for a while, spoke: "Qin Shaoxia, after being tired of playing in the garden with the child last night, he was carried back to the room by the nurse, and the nurse has been waiting by her side during this period. ”

"I drank some wine outside last night, and when I came back, I wanted to see the child, who knew that when I entered the room, I found that the room was empty, at first, I thought that the child got up at night, and the nurse took the child to the convenience of going, so I didn't pay attention to it."

"But when I returned to my room, the more I thought about it, the more wrong it became, the child is still young, and the house has always carried a bucket on his back, if the child gets up at night, it can be solved in the house, there is no need to go outside."

"Thinking of this, I was a little uneasy, but because I drank too much wine last night, after the wine came up, my head hurt too much, so I didn't go to check, but called out to the and asked her to take a look at the situation."

"The next situation, let the cheap man tell the young man."

Qin Chuan nodded and looked at the woman with red and swollen eyes on the side.

Liu Qingmei took a few deep breaths and said with a trilling voice: "After I got up, I called the maid to go to the nurse's room together, but before I could get to the place, I saw the nurse lying on the ground on the way. ”

"In a panic, I hurriedly asked people to wake up the nurse, who knew that no matter what method they used, they couldn't wake up the nurse, and after that, I found that the child was missing."

After speaking, Liu Qingmei sobbed sadly again.

After listening to the whole story, Qin Chuan had a feeling in his heart that this matter might have nothing to do with demons, and it should be an ordinary case of missing people.

Because, in the whole process of this matter, there was no sign of demonic activity, and the only thing that was suspicious was that the nurse who couldn't wake up.

But this is also easy to do, there is the kind of medicine in this world that can make people sleep like a dead pig.

"Master Zhao, haven't you thought about asking the government's head catcher to investigate?"

Qin Chuan looked at Zao Wou-ki, if this was really just an ordinary case of missing persons, he felt that those who were dedicated to investigating and arresting the murderers were more professional.

As soon as Zao Wou-Ki heard what he meant, he immediately understood what he meant.

"Qin Shaoxia, do you mean that the disappearance of my grandson is man-made, not demonic?"

Qin Chuan shook his head and said, "I can't be sure now, but listening to the whole thing, it seems that there is no suspicion that demons are haunting, and everything can be done by manpower." ”

However, Zao Wou-Ki shook his head and said, "Qin Shaoxia, there is a suspicion in this that should not be completed by relying on manpower. ”

"How?"

"Qin Shaoxia should know that my Zhao family has a lot of wealth, although the security of this Jinling City is very good, there are also some bold thieves, so in order to protect the safety of the family's money and family, my Zhao Mansion has a total of more than 300 guards, from the front yard to the back yard, a total of five light and dark checkpoints have been set up, so if you want to quietly take people out of the Zhao Mansion, it is impossible to do it with manpower alone."

"What Master Zhao said is reasonable."

Qin Chuan nodded and said, "Along the way before, the kid has also seen the tightness of your mansion, and I also believe that with the ability of those guards, no one can quietly take people out, but ......"

"But, how can Master Zhao be sure that the little prince of your mansion must be taken out?"

Hearing this, a look of excitement appeared on Zao Wouji's face, "Qin Shaoxia means ......"

"Master Zhao." Qin Chuan interrupted the other party and said, "Everything Fang just said is just a kid's guess, and it can't be true." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Wuji's heart was still a little excited just now, and he fell back again, but before he could completely land, Qin Chuan's next words brought him hope again.

"Although it's just speculation at the moment, judging from the plots of the movies I've watched, this speculation should be inseparable."

"Huh? Movie? Dare to ask Qin Shaoxia, what is this movie? ”

Qin Chuan was stunned for a moment, knowing that he had just said it well.

"Master Zhao doesn't have to take it to heart, the kid sometimes can't spit out clearly, what he wanted to say just now is actually the word experience."

Zao Wou-Ki nodded, and did not delve into this matter.

"Master Zhao, can you let the kid go to the little boy's room to investigate?"

"Naturally, Qin Shaoxia, please."

After a short time, the group came to a single courtyard located in the center of the backyard.

Qin Chuan glanced at the furnishings of the courtyard, and after finding nothing suspicious, he pushed open the door.

Inside, what you see is a small wooden horse painted with gold paint, the shape of the wooden horse is sleek, lifelike, if you don't look at it closely, he will definitely think that this is a real foal.

Looking at this Trojan horse, which was obviously from the hands of a master craftsman, Qin Chuan estimated that such a toy could be worth the bounty he had for killing the toad essence last time.

"To be reincarnated into this kind of family is really a great virtue in the previous life."

With a sigh of emotion in his heart, Qin Chuan probed in the house.

The three windows in the house are locked from the inside, and the locks are intact and free of pry marks, which can rule out the suspicion of thieves prying the windows in, and then look around, there is no place that has been damaged.

This can't help but remind him of some episodes in Conan, in this case, according to the plot, it is generally an acquaintance who commits the crime, but before drawing conclusions, the suspicion of monsters must be ruled out.

If you want to rule out the suspicion of monsters, you just need to see if there is a residual aura of monsters here.

"Everyone, I'm going to check if there is any monster aura left in this room now, and no matter what you see, don't panic."

Qin Chuan explained to Zao Wou-Ki and the others, and then took out half of his candle.

He is only practicing the Qi Realm now, and he can't use his own induction to detect the demonic aura, so he has to borrow a little foreign object.

This candle is called the Demon Candle, and it is also the equipment that the system burst out when he followed the master to kill the demon, and its effect is just like its name, its candle flame can make the demons and monsters active, and at the same time, the candle flame also has a good lethality for the kind of demons and monsters.

"Qin Shaoxia, don't worry, we can save it."

Seeing that Zhao Wuji and the others were mentally prepared, Qin Chuan did not hesitate, and gently blew towards the center of the candle, and the demon candle ignited an orange candle flame.

The candle flame was very small, no different from an ordinary candle, but as Qin Chuan blew out the qi again, the originally tiny candle flame instantly expanded, and then, the entire room was surrounded by orange flames.

"This ......"

Although they were already mentally prepared, Zao Wou-Ki and the others were still shocked by this scene.

"Dad, this flame is so weird."

After Zhao Li was surprised, he suddenly found that the seemingly terrifying flames around him had no temperature at all, and his palm probed into the flames, as if he was touching a cloud.

Hearing this, Zao Wou-Ki also reached out and tried it, and found that it was indeed the case, it was really not hot at all.

"Qin Shaoxia is worthy of being born in a famous and decent family, this method is much more clever than the wild roads we have used to commonly, and now, the child will be saved."

At this time, he was full of confidence in Qin Chuan.

At this moment, the flames that filled the room suddenly dissipated, and they knew that Qin Shaoxia's practice was over.

"Qin Shaoxia, how is it, have you found anything?"

"I didn't find the demonic aura in this room, so far, my guess should be correct, the disappearance of the little prince of your mansion has nothing to do with the demon." Qin Chuan nodded.

Hearing his words, Zao Wou-Ki couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it was good that the demon didn't do it.

He had heard that demons like to cultivate with the blood of children the most, if the child falls into the hands of demons, it must be dangerous, and now, it is good that people do it.

"Master Zhao, since it has been determined that the disappearance of the little boy is man-made, look at this matter, should you go to the county government to invite a head catcher?"

Qin Chuan still thinks that it is better for the headhunters to do this case, after all, he is a demon hunter, this profession is not right, although he also knows some methods of investigating the case, but he does not dare to guarantee that he can find out the real murderer in a short time.

Seeing that he brought up the old matter again, Zao Wou-Ki didn't insist anymore, and instructed the housekeeper Lao He to invite the head catcher, but although he sent someone to invite the head catcher, Zhao Wou-Ki still said that this case would continue to be investigated by Qin Chuan.

Because, the previous conversation in the pavilion had already made him see the reasoning ability of this Qin Shaoxia, and he felt that the young man in front of him should have a way to find the child in the shortest possible time.

Qin Chuan saw that the other party insisted, and he didn't refuse, after all, who would have trouble with silver.

And even if he fails to find the murderer later, he will have the county government to catch the head, and he will not delay things.

"In that case, then please Master Zhao, call everyone in the backyard last night here."

For Qin Chuan's words, Zhao Wuji naturally complied, and as soon as he gave the order, the backyard of the Zhao Mansion moved.

In a short time, hundreds of people of all kinds gathered outside the courtyard, and standing at the front was a graceful woman.

The woman is in her twenties, wearing hairpins, wearing a yellow fringed skirt, and her eyes are like autumn water blowing in the breeze, revealing a faint charm.

"Official, the slave family's mandarin duck playing in the water is being embroidered at a critical time, why did you suddenly call the slave family here?"

The woman spoke, her voice soft to the bone.

Listening to this slightly coquettish tone, Qin Chuan couldn't help but shudder, and goosebumps all over his body followed.

Is this the clip sound?

Sure enough, it can kill people!

Facing the woman's seductive gaze, Zhao Li did not respond, but turned his head to Qin Chuan and said in a low voice: "Qin Shaoxia, this is in the concubine's room, Sun Jiaojiao, on weekdays, relying on the favor of the below, has clashed with the cheap many times. ”

Qin Chuan: ???

What does the other party mean by this, is this a suspicion, the disappearance of the child, is this Sun Jiaojiao very suspicious?

Although he had this suspicion in his heart, Qin Chuan didn't ask much, nodded his head, and said to Zhao Wuji, "Master Zhao, I have a treasure bead in my pocket, as long as I cover my palm on it, I can tell if a person is lying." ”

Qin Chuan removed a pocket from his waist and poured out a pearl as white as jade from it.

"Can you tell a lie?"

Zhao Wouji looked at the beads in Qin Chuan's palm in shock.

Qin Chuan nodded and said, "Now please Master Zhao, let these people come forward one by one, put their palms into my pocket, and touch the orb." ”

"Okay."

Qin Chuan put the bead back in his pocket, motioned to Sun Jiaojiao, who was the first to step forward, and said, "Please put your hand in your pocket and hold the bead inside." ”

"Yes." Sun Jiaojiao did so.
