Chapter 41: The Tree of the Ruler
"Who are the murderers of these sixty or so people?"
Two hours later, Jiang Hanyun walked out of the county office, also with a blank and confused face: "I feel that the background of those officials is very innocent and reliable." Could it be the prisoners?"
Ma Chenggong touched his chin with his hand: "It's unlikely, those prisoners look suspicious, but most of them are used by the real murderer to confuse the public." Those guys are a bunch of fools, too, and they can't even figure out who is picking them up. I think that those servants can be tortured severely, Miki, why not? I can always get some clues. β
"We can't have more than a dozen people executed together, right? We have to lock on a few targets first. They are not prisoners, they are still officials with status, how can they be so hasty?"
Jiang Hanyun glanced at him: "How did you come up with some bad ideas today?" Li Xuan, you say, what do you think about this?"
Li Xuan didn't expect that he also had the potential to be Yuan Fang, he thought about it very seriously for a while: "There are too few clues in the extermination case, and there are too many suspects." It's hard to detect for the time being, but I think it's better to focus on the whereabouts of the thunder meteorite and the two lines of boys and girls. β
There is a reason for that. Ma Chenggong agreed, and then told the truth that made the three helpless: "The key is that over there, we can't interfere." Captain, that Thundercloud's birdman, he's squeezing you out with that old ghost in the Ghost Mansion. β
Jiang Hanyun's face turned blue: "Although they me off, when the old lady couldn't help but lift the table, no one wanted to look good." β
In the Jiangning County Ya just now, she couldn't say a few words, either she was robbed or interrupted, and there was no room for interference in the whole process of collecting evidence, which made her angry.
However, as soon as they returned to the Suzaku Hall, they got excellent news from Le Qianqian, who was standing at the door and waiting.
"I know who that thunder meteorite in the valley is. β
Le Qianqian's expression was excited, and her face flushed: "According to the dossier records, twelve of the seventeen forces in Shu still exist in the world, and none of the thunder meteorites in their hands have been lost. Only five of them have either declined or suffered a change, and the thunder meteorite has fallen into the hands of others. Three of them are traceableβ"
When she said this, she deliberately glanced at Li Xuan's chest. Now the latter one is also one of the traces to follow.
"One of the remaining two pieces is small and negligible. And the last one, belonging to the Shu family Wei, the last generation of his grandson Wei Liren, once served as the official to the right of the imperial history. After the Tumubao Change, because of his people's party attached to Wang Zhen, he was beheaded by the imperial court, and the children of his clan were either sentenced to exile or assigned to the teaching department. And the thunder meteorite handed down by the Wei family was finally missing. β
Jiang Hanyun was already in good spirits: "Qianqian, you have already found out, who did this thunder meteorite fall into in the end?"
"I didn't find it, but I found the person in question. β
Le Qianqian glanced around, and found that there was no one else around, so she whispered: "It's Wei Shi, the head of Lanyuelou, and it just so happened that because of the murder case in Lanyuelou, I have seen her files." This woman's original surname was Wei, and she was the daughter of Wei Liren, and the old bustard of Lanyue Tower ransomed her body about six years ago, and since then she has changed her name to Wei Shi. β
Jiang Hanyun's eyes lit up, and he immediately strode towards the backyard of the Vermilion Bird Hall. Wei Shi was personally escorted to the Suzaku Hall to be imprisoned, so she knew the location of the cell where this woman was.
It was only when the group walked into the second floor of the prison, the door of Wei Shi's cell, that they found that someone had already stepped here.
The commander of the Fire Raven Capital, Lei Yun, looked at the inside of the cell with a stunned expression.
Jiang Hanyun couldn't help but secretly 'spit', thinking that this guy was really capable of solving the case.
It's just that when she also walked to the front of the cell, she found that the beautiful woman behind the railing was already bloodless and breathless lying on the ground.
"When I rushed over, the person was already dead!" Lei Yun turned his head with a blue face and looked at the few people who came in a hurry: "The same way to die as that nameless cultivator should also be the blood cloud snake venom." β
Li Xuan hurriedly walked into the iron fence and touched Wei Shi's carotid artery with his hand.
A strange light suddenly flashed in his eyes, this Wei Shi's death time was no more than five minutes. In other words, by the time they stepped into the gate of Suzaku Hall, this woman was already lifeless.
Li Xuan then tore open the clothes on Wei Shi's other arm and found a pinhole that was exactly the same as that of the nameless technique.
"Then what are you still doing in a daze?" Jiang Hanyun's voice was fierce: "Don't you find all the high-level cultivators in the yamen and use the method of conjuring spirits!"
"Probably useless. It was Li Xuan who said this, he stood up and shook his head slightly: "The blood cloud snake venom can also target the Yuan Shen, which can make ordinary people scatter their souls in a very short period of time. No matter how long it takes to die, it is impossible to successfully conjure spirits. β
He had already made up the knowledge about the Blood Cloud Snake and the Blood Cloud Snake Venom from Liu Sanjie's notes on the way back to the Vermilion Bird Hall.
Jiang Hanyun was stunned, and then snorted softly: "Then you have to let someone try it." β
Li Xuan didn't stop it, he actually wanted to see if he could use the female ghost in red behind him to see Wei Shi's memories of the last moments.
He had noticed before that every time this female ghost scattered thousands of silk threads, it was when the soul conjuring failed, and the soul fragments of the deceased were about to disperse.
As Jiang Hanyun played a flying talisman, in less than half a minute, a figure dressed in the costume of a demon captain suddenly flashed in this prison.
This one's spiritualism failed, as expected. Li Xuan also frowned, and he found that the female ghost in red behind him did not react.
Wei Shi's body was obviously not his turn to conduct an autopsy, and Li Xuan had no choice but to observe the scene here, trying to find clues. But until a moment later, he found nothing.

"Damn, the clue is broken here again!"
At the end of the day (seven o'clock in the evening), Ma Chenggong, who came out of the interrogation room, couldn't help but take out his anger at the trees on the side, and he kicked a willow tree with a thick bowl mouth next to him.
Le Qianqian's eyes were sharp, and she reminded in a timely manner: "Uncle Ma, that's a money willow, a treasure that was transplanted from our hall." This thing is generally used as a feng shui ornament that can attract wealth and treasure, so it is very expensive, and now each plant outside seems to be able to sell for four hundred and fifty taels of silver. The point is, the Steward, he seems to like it. β
Ma Chenggong looked panicked, and hurriedly pieced together the upper half of the fallen willow tree. But the tree could not be stabilized in any way, and as soon as he let go, the tree was planted.
Li Xuan couldn't stand it, so he found a bandage from his box and handed it over.
Ma Chenggong was grateful, he tied the willow tree by two, and then ran like a rabbit to the front yard of the Suzaku Hall.
"None of you are allowed to talk about this!"
After explaining this sentence, Ma Chenggong looked solemn again: "This blood sacrifice case is getting more and more difficult, apologize!"
"It is indeed not easy to be able to reach out to our Liudao Division and Jiangning County Ya. The subordinates thought about it carefully, thinking that the mastermind of the general's mountain blood sacrifice case not only had a lot of power, but also had a very big plan. β
Li Xuan also frowned, and fell into deep thought: "We still have to solve this case as soon as possible." β
What made him helpless was that although there were only five suspects on the side of the Liudao Division, four jailers guarding the second layer, and one who delivered food, Lei Yun tried all kinds of means and failed to lock down who was the real murderer of these five people.
The commander of the Fire Raven Capital found several masters of the Six Dao Divisions, identified them with the power of spells, and even used the precious 'Tuzhen Pill', but in the end it was fruitless.
At this time, they were almost not executed.
