Wow——
Cold water mixed with ice cubes was poured on Huai Rui's face, which once again tortured the promising doctor to wake him up.
"Ho, ho..."
Huairui sprayed out the ice water from his nose and breathed hard,
The wrists and ankles are bound by heavy steel shackles,
The wounds on the body were bleeding continuously, and there were bursts of pain.
The confused brain could barely recall the previous experience.
This is the Zhenfusi dungeon,
He was knocked unconscious by the dragon-headed weirdo, and was immediately taken to the Zhenfusi Prison for strict supervision.
The Zhenfu Division quickly found all the evidence in the mansion, and together with Mrs. Huai's confusing testimony, it was enough to determine Huai Rui's role in this change.
The identity and privileges of Dr. Kanebu are completely invalidated in prison.
He was fed Gu worms, tortured in a dazed state, and told everything he knew.
"I've told you everything I know. The weirdo who wore a dragon head and took away the blue and black stone statue, I really don't know who he is..."
At this point, Huai Rui has no hope of being able to escape guilt and regain his official status. He just wants to die quickly and avoid torture.
"Not this."
The expressionless and sallow prison officer from the Department of Justice sat behind the desk
With a hoarse voice that sounded like fingernails scratching glass, he asked calmly: "Tell me, your blue and black stone statue, and the method of using the stone statue to make specimens of Homo sapiens.
Was it taught to you by an alchemist you met in Quzhou, Jiannan Road five years ago?"
Huai Rui said: "Yes. I met him at the Jinhe Bridge in Quzhou and paid him to give me a fortune telling about my future career. He then handed the stone statue to me and told me about making a flute
The method of making human specimens. I originally thought this method was too evil and wanted to throw away the stone statue, but I didn’t know why. I never saw the alchemist again after that.”
"..."
The prison officer stared at him indifferently for a long time, then with a snap, he took out a large stack of files from the stool beside him and slapped it on the table, "Five years ago, that is, the second year of Xianhe, you worked as a secretary at the Chang'an Household Department.
The position of Ling Shi. He did not leave within fifty miles of Chang'an City for a whole year.
In the years before and after the first and second years, the furthest you went was Luoyang.
All traffic history has written records at various passes.
You have never been to Quzhou in your life."
"What?"
Huairui was shocked, "How could it be possible? I remember it very clearly..."
The prison officer said indifferently: "Quzhou belongs to the Rongzhou Governor's Mansion and governs Zhuti County. As the secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs of Chang'an City, what reason do you have to go there?"
"But..."
Huairui hugged his head and said in a panic: "I remember that the Jinhe Bridge is a stone bridge. There are stone lions on the guardrails on both sides of the bridge, holding or stepping on balls.
There is a Yuelai Restaurant at the end of Jinhe Bridge. The restaurant’s wine flag is dark red.
The alchemist has a fortune-telling stall right in front of the wine flag..."
Huairui held his head and struggled to remember. The more he recalled, the paler his face became - he really couldn't remember why he went to Quzhou, nor when he went there.
The prison officer stood up silently holding the file, left the secret room, passed through the cold corridor, and came to another room.
Lin Hongbo, the commander of the Town and Fu Division, sat behind the table and concentrated on reading the on-site reports and analyzes submitted by his subordinates. Without raising his head, he asked, "What did he say?"
"The memory of being knocked unconscious by the dragon-headed man and snatching away the blue and black stone statue is true. The memory of meeting the alchemist is false. It may be a forged memory instilled through alienated objects or dreams.
Colleagues in the Rongzhou Governor's Mansion will be notified at that time and asked to check whether the scene Huairui said is true."
The prison officer with a sallow complexion pulled out dozens of portraits from the file and placed them on the table, "These are portraits drawn by Huai Rui after he lost consciousness after being implanted with Gu insects.
They are the beggars of Chang'an City whom he devoured with his zombie aliens;
The four listening to the rain monks who accepted the commission;
The leader;
And the alchemist in his memory."
I don’t know how these portraits were painted, but they are all lifelike.
Lin Hongbo glanced at it and said: "Secretly take the portrait of the beggar to the beggar in Chang'an City and let him identify the authenticity.
As for the remaining three monks from the Listening to the Rain Realm who are still alive, we secretly issued a reward and contacted Kou Zhian in the ghost market and asked him to help us find clues."
"What about the leader?"
The prison officer asked: "Do we want to pursue it further?"
"Yeah. He took away the blue and black stone statue. He should also put a reward of 10,000 yuan. He was marked as a body refining monk, suspected to be a high-level listener to the rain realm."
Lin Hongbo gave the instructions casually, looked at the last portrait of the alchemist, and pondered in silence.
That is, the portrait of Jun Qianzi.

Li Ang, who didn't know that he had been listed on Zhenfusi's most wanted list as a leading weirdo, had been silently waiting for news after returning home and observing Zhenfusi's handling of this matter.
Things turned out exactly as he thought. The Town Council described the collapse of Jinbu Huaizhong's residence as a result of being in disrepair and collapsing on its own.
Huai Rui himself was unfortunately killed, but his mother and the servants in the house were still alive.
"It seems that the Zhenfu Division has also found out the connection between Huai Rui and the mutation. He has probably been put in the dungeon and tortured to extract a confession."
Li Ang thought silently, that blue and purple baby can create a ghost realm, which is at least a third-level alien according to its level, and requires a Cloud Patrolling Realm monk to solve it.
The appearance of this level of aliens in Chang'an City is definitely a big deal.
Fortunately, only Huai Rui and the burly monk known as Brother Wei died during the mutation outbreak, otherwise a large number of people would have lost their official positions.
"I wonder if the scholar, the dwarf, and the others ran away."
Li Ang thought about it casually. His ink silk form can effectively block all smells, so he doesn't have to worry about being tracked by the Suppressing Sixi Dog.
Moreover, it can also block spiritual power detection, so the Zhenfu Division should not be able to trace him.
The scholar and others have been walking around the world for so long, maybe they can escape capture, right? For example, they can escape into the ghost market to avoid the limelight.
Now that Huai Rui has been arrested and brought to justice, Li Ang can finally start studying the blue and black stone statue.
In order to prevent the stone statue itself from causing changes, he did not rush to take it out. Instead, he first activated the ink thread to form a spherical shape, covering the whole body, and then took the stone statue out of the ink thread.
"Inexplicably, I feel like I am hiding under the quilt and playing GB handheld game."
Li Ang shook his head and picked up the stone statue with his silk tentacles and looked at it carefully.
The stone statue itself is of rough workmanship, and you can barely tell that it is a hunched body holding its own baby.
There is an imperceptible hole on the sole of its foot.
"There is no spiritual energy fluctuation, and the low-level demon subduing talisman I drew myself has no response. Moreover, Mo Si's throbbing towards this stone statue is different from the [Psychic Paper]."
Li Ang squinted his eyes and thought, "For [Psychic Paper], it's more like nostalgia. For this stone statue, it's like seeing food and being hungry..."
