The four of them returned to the cabin where Tang Xixi lived, and Chu Jie was still guarding the door, but his face was pale, and he didn't know if he was frightened or vomited too much.

The four of them were just about to walk into the cabin, when Chu Jie spoke: "Linglong girl, you see me like this, I advise you not to go in." The other three should also be mentally prepared. ”

Sima smiled and took the lead into the cabin, Ye Maolin followed, Shen Chaixing hesitated at the door, turned to Linglong'er and said, "Why don't you go in first, stay with Boss Chu at the door for a while, I'll see the situation and call you again, how about it?"

Linglong said indifferently: "I've seen people in the world, and I've seen a lot of dead people, why are they so fragile?" Shen Chaixing was helpless, and the two walked into the cabin together.

As soon as they entered, a solemn smell of blood came to their nostrils, and by the dim light, the two of them saw dark red blood stains and some slimy objects all over the walls around them, as if a mischievous child had spilled a table of food on the wall.

Sima and Ye Maolin stood in the way, and the two seemed to be looking down to see something. Shen Chaixing and Linglong'er also squeezed to the front to watch, and the scene in front of them was unforgettable: Sha Junbao's head seemed to be still intact, but it had to be left aside alone, like a useless waste thrown in the corner, and the body part was miserable, I don't know if it was torn by hand or bitten by teeth, it had been divided into piles of pieces and spread on the ground. It seems that earlier there was not a man in this room, but a beast, or even a devil.

Linglong'er couldn't stand it anymore, turned around and rushed out. Shen Chaixing hurriedly followed.

After vomiting wildly for a while, Shen Chaixing accompanied Linglong'er to the side of the boat, and under the clear river breeze, Linglong'er felt a little better.

Looking at the river in front of her, Linglong'er said quietly: "How could someone make such a move to their lover?"

Shen Chaixing replied: "At that moment, Tang Xixi has lost himself and is no longer a normal person. ”

Linglong'er said: "What caused Tang Xixi to do such a terrible thing for such a weak woman?"

Shen Chaixing sighed: "Everything that happens in this world has cause and effect, it must be that someone did something cruel to Tang Xixi in the early years than now, causing Tang Xixi to become like this today." However, listening to Sima's meaning, Tang Xixi would only attack on the night of the fifteenth full moon. ”

Linglong said: "It's very strange, Tang Xixi did such a terrible thing, I actually have sympathy for her, it's really unreasonable." ”

Shen Chaixing said with a smile: "You will 'compare your heart with your heart' and consider the problem from Tang Xixi's point of view, if you change your perspective and stand from the perspective of those innocent souls who died tragically at the hands of Tang Xixi? Have you ever thought about the feelings of those people's families?"

Linglong'er asked again: "Did Sima talk about making Tang Xixi such a person, how is it now?"

Shen Chaixing said: "It seems that Sima said that the person should still be alive, so Tang Xixi has been committing crimes." ”

Linglong'er sighed: "It is said that 'the way of heaven is good, and the retribution is not happy', but how can such an evil person still live well?"

Shen Chaixing said with a smile: "We still have a saying in Middle-earth called 'It's not that the time has not come', besides, isn't there still someone who picks up a sword to 'do the way for the sky'?"

Seeing that Linglong'er was fine, the two returned to the scene again.

At this time, Sima and Ye Maolin had already completed the scene inspection, and when they saw Shen Chaixing and Linglong'er coming over, Sima said: "According to my investigation of the crime scene just now, it is certain that the person who committed the crime here is the same person as the person who committed the crime in Suzhou in the past, and the method is completely consistent, Tang Xixi is the 'orchid thief'." ”

Then Sima took Shen Chaixing to a pile of scattered ropes and said, "You asked me how Tang Xixi, who was tied hand and foot, killed Sha Junbao, and now I'll tell you what happened that night. ”

That night, after Sha Junbao was disappointed at the casino, the two returned to their cabin. Sha Junbao was indeed depressed as Tang Xixi said, and he couldn't accept his failure, so he drank until midnight. Later, Tang Xixi served Sha Junbao. I looked at the red dot on Sha Junbao's neck, and now I know that it is a kind of charm from the island country of the East China Sea, which is different from the acupuncture points in Middle-earth, and the gentle penetration of the golden hairpin during intimacy will produce extreme excitement until he falls unconscious. After falling unconscious, Tang Xixi cut Sha Junbao's throat with a short sword, and at the same time disguised himself as suicidal. Next, it's time for you to ask. ”

Sima continued: "Tang Xixi first tied his legs, then stuffed the cloth into his mouth, and finally, tied the rope into a dead knot, and transported the 'bone shrinking gong' you saw that night, and then drilled into the rope after the hands became slender, and after the work was collected, the arm returned to its original state, and naturally there was no flaw." It looks like someone is tied up, there is no difference. ”

"When you heard the shouts of the waiter on the ship, and entered Tang Xixi's cabin to tie her up, Tang Xixi stole Shen Chaixing's silver ticket and jade pendant. Once stolen with the size of a diamond pocket, it would easily cause Shen Chaixing to find out, so Tang Xixi only stole the jade pendant and the silver ticket. By the way, it's not that Tang is greedy for money, it should be that the organization behind it needs a lot of silver taels as some kind of funding. ”

As for Ye Maolin's silver ticket and genealogy, on the surface, she asked him to send it somewhere in Chengdu, but in fact, her original plan was to steal it directly from the ship, in case Ye Maolin set a trap in Chengdu after reporting to the official. As for Sha Junbao's death, it should also be planned in advance, no matter whether Tang Xixi loves Sha Junbao or hates, Sha Junbao has reached the time when he must die, so that the Sha family will be completely controlled by the organization behind Tang Xixi. Dying on this ship, and witnesses testifying that he committed suicide, was a perfect plan. ”

After hearing what Sima said, Shen Chaixing suddenly felt an inexplicable upset in his heart, and then Linglong'er asked, "Brother Sima, which Jianghu sect do you think Tang Xixi may come from?"

Sima shook his head and said, "Tang Xixi shouldn't be from a certain Jianghu sect, but more like an organization, an organization with ill intentions." Tang Xixi's martial arts are very miscellaneous, and there seems to be a shadow of ninjutsu from the East China Sea, but there seems to be some things from the Demon Sect. ”

Shen Chaixing glanced at Sha Junbao's corpse and said to Sima, "It seems that you can only take his head home." He turned to Ye Maolin and said, "As soon as the morning dawns, I want to dock and leave the ship." What is Brother Ye's plan to do?"

Ye Maolin said with a smile: "I was about to talk about this, I don't have anything serious to do anyway, why don't I accompany Sima on a trip, not only as a witness, but also as a helper, I can still learn a lot from Sima?

Everyone was shocked, you must know that it is very dangerous for Sima to go to Shajiabao, and it is really touching that Ye Maolin can accompany him without hesitation, I can't imagine that the son of a big family is so righteous, it is really unseemly.

Sima was also moved when he heard this, his resolute face showed a touched look, and he hugged his fists and said: "If I resign, I will live up to Brother Ye's high righteousness, thank you Brother Ye for pulling out his sword and helping!"

Early the next morning, just after dawn, Shen Chaixing asked Chu Jie to pull the boat to the shore. Since they had not yet arrived at the official docking site, there was no pier, so Shen Chaixing and Linglong'er had to use light skills to jump to the riverbank from close and walk into the dense bushes.

Capital. Imperial. Prison.

The most core location in the Beijing division is the palace city, commonly known as the Forbidden City, which is the place where the emperor lives in the harem, and the outer layer is the imperial city, which is mainly the official department, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Households, and the six departments of the Ministry of Soldiers, as well as the offices and garrisons of the forbidden army and the personal guards. Between the Imperial City and the Imperial City, there is a small area, there are not many houses, the place is not big, there is a small gate leading directly to the Forbidden City, there is no listing here, so outsiders do not know what this place is. However, all officials, big and small, are very taboo about this place and avoid it.

This is the "Heavenly Prison". The reason why it is called "Heavenly Prison" is because it is a prisoner who is personally cared for by Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang. It can also be said that this belongs to the emperor's private cell, and the head of the cell is Zhu Yuanzhang. There is no dark, damp, dirty, and bloody smell of the usual cells, but good ventilation, fresh air, and bright light. There are not many prisoners here, in order to maintain the good environment here, the guards have done a lot of work, when the blood of the prisoners has just been sprinkled on the ground, there will be a person in charge of cleaning the floor with clean water; after the prisoner has just come off the nail board or has just been burned with a soldering iron, or has just been sawed off his hands and feet, there will be a doctor who will immediately apply plaster and change into clean clothes at the same time; after the torture equipment is used, the guards will immediately clean it without leaving a trace of stain; if the prisoner can't help but make a painful sound, he will be gagged by the guards or simply sewn up。 So, it's quiet. Usually, the guards also put some flower pots in the corridor, which not only beautify the environment but also purify the air. When Zhu Yuanzhang came, the guard door would also be covered with a special alpaca wool woven carpet from the Western Regions.

Blue Moon has been locked up in such a cell for eleven days.

In the past eleven days, Zhu Yuanzhang has come to see him three times, and the questions he asked are simple, Momen's clues, as long as Lan Yue says it, Zhu Yuanzhang can promise to let Lan Yue die happily.

After twenty-six tortures, Blue Moon's meridians were broken, and the muscles of her body were broken, leaving no movement in her body except for her eyes and mouth. It's not that Zhu Yuanzhang is compassionate, but that Zhu Yuanzhang wants to keep the eyes of the blue moon for him to see, and keep his mouth for him to say. However, from beginning to end, Lan Yue didn't say a word, not even humming.

On this day, Zhu Yuanzhang came again and walked into the cell on the woven carpet.

The guards brought a dragon chair to the emperor, and Zhu Yuanzhang sat down opposite the blue moon.

Looking at the blue moon who was speechless, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "Although you never speak, I can still guess the words you think in your heart, the word you think of is 'death', you hope that you can die or I die, but unfortunately, these two are not easy to do." I will keep you alive and experience what it means to be 'better to live than to die'. Today, I just ordered the extermination of the three clans of your Lan family, and the female prisoners will all be official prostitutes. It's a pity that your brother Lan Yu died, what a pity. ”

"I grew up poor, and I know to cherish my possessions and never waste them, even if they are useless waste. So, I'm like, Sapphire is dead, what's the value? So I've done something like this, and I'm going to hang it in the market, and I'm going to wake up the world. With a wave of his hand, someone moved in and placed it in front of Blue Moon's eyes.

When Lan Yue saw it, her liver and gall were broken, she couldn't hold back any longer, and finally let out a wail like a beast!

It turned out that Zhu Yuanzhang peeled the blue jade and made it into a human shape, and put it in front of the blue moon.
