"But it's actually produced by Bega. Is it legal just to walk around outside?"
Mai Xuewen spread his hands: "Apart from Bejia Kingdom, where else can hunting monsters be so easy?"
Of course, there are many monsters in the northern monster country. There are many human kingdoms all over the world, and monsters are hidden in the mountains and swamps. They are scattered and difficult to find.
For efficiency and cost considerations, of course Bega's demon hunting is the most cost-effective.
He Lingchuan thought for a while: "You said, you sent me to refine the medicine...then Cen Boqing didn't refine the medicine himself?"
Mai Xuewen smiled softly: "You are very keen. There is someone else who refines it, but you must overcome the current difficulty first, and then I can tell you."
"Why?"
"If you can't catch Cen Boqing, you won't be able to do anything else."
He Lingchuan looked at him and said, "Isn't it Cen Boqing who has a grudge against you?"
Mai Xuewen smiled but said nothing.
"Since you want to cooperate, you must show sincerity." He Lingchuan crossed his arms and said, "How can you help me?"
"I can give you two clues." Mai Xuewen raised a finger, "First of all, the man who went to the county jail to make a confession with Fu Songhua was named Pang Denian, and he was also under Wu Kai. The prison boss who took the bribe died, and he
It was fine. He was sent to Houjiazhuang in the southwest of Baishaqiang to work as a handyman to avoid the limelight. He changed his name to Chen Erhei and no one there recognized him. On the surface, Houjiazhuang had nothing to do with the Cen Mansion, but it was actually controlled by Cen Boqing's cousin."
He paused and continued: "The reason why Wu Kai did not kill Pang Denian to silence him may be because his grandson once fell into the water and was rescued by Pang Denian. The two of them had a good relationship."
"Secondly, I found out that another group hunting monsters and obtaining pearls is in Xiaohulu Town, Baiting County. The leader is named Yang Song, and there should be five or six people under his command."
Tiger Jiaoyu interrupted: "Wait a minute, Baiting County is not on the border of Chiyan Country."
"Wu Kai's various groups are scattered in different vassal demon kingdoms." Mai Xuewen glanced at it and said, "Baiding County is relatively close, only seventy or eighty miles away from the northern border of Chiyan."
"Are you going to arrest people across countries?" He Lingchuan frowned, "Where are the other groups?"
"I speculate that there are three or four groups of people, but they don't know each other or have contact with each other. The only middleman is Wu Kai." He said to He Lingchuan, "These two clues are directly related to Wu Kai. If you catch them, say
Maybe I can ask for more details."
"That's it? There's so little that's useful."
"If they hadn't done it so cleanly, it wouldn't have been your turn to investigate the case now." Mai Xuewen sighed, "Then I'll give you another clue. Wu Kai lost his wife and son in his early years, but he has a grandson. This
In a few days, my daughter-in-law took her grandson to visit Baishaqiang."
He Lingchuan was dissatisfied: "I thought you would tie Wu Kai directly to me."
"The entire Cen Mansion is set up with a formation, and no escape techniques are allowed. Snail toads cannot get in." Apparently Mai Xuewen tried it, "Besides, Wu Kai and Cen Boqing are almost always together, and they are protected by secret guards."
Snail Toad is only suitable for sneak attacks.
He Lingchuan thought for a while: "What kind of character does Cen Boqing have?"
"Don't forget that he is arrogant to outsiders. In fact, he is suspicious, weak and prone to compromise, but sometimes he can be desperate. It can be said that he has a complex and changeable temperament. By the way, he also hates trouble extremely."
He Lingchuan pondered.
Outwardly arrogant but innerly weak, but when pushed into a corner, it is easy to go to extremes? There seems to be not a few people with this kind of personality.
"How could Uncle Wu recognize Cen Boqing as his master?"
"Wu Kai is the personal attendant of Cen Boqing's father, Cen Dan. After Cen Dan passed away, he stayed with Cen Boqing for more than ten years."
"According to this, Wu Kai has Cen Boqing's trust?"
"That's natural, otherwise why would Wu Kai be left to hunt monsters and obtain pearls?" Mai Xuewen said again, "Let me give you another piece of advice."
"Oh?" This guy's tone was so harsh.
"This case is getting deeper and deeper. You can't solve it by yourself. Please ask the prince for help quickly."
"I also have something to ask you." He Lingchuan suddenly asked an unrelated question, "There is a painting in your study, in which a woman plays a bone flute. Where did this painting come from, and who is the person in the painting?
"
Why are you asking this all of a sudden? Not to mention Mai Xuewen, even the tiger next to him forgot to lick his fur.
Mai Xuewen asked: "Where do you have the painting?"
He Lingchuan took out the scroll from the storage ring and shook it at him. "I collected it from the market and kept it because of its superb painting skills."
He Lingchuan was displeased: "If you keep talking nonsense, I will leave this case alone."
Mai Xuewen was silent for a while and then said: "This painting was painted twenty years ago, and the person in the painting is the current master of the Qing Palace, the Qingyang Imperial Master."
What? The painting is of Qingyang Imperial Master?
This answer greatly surprised He Lingchuan: "Is this one of Bejia's four great masters?"
"Exactly."
"What is the origin of the musical instrument in her hand?"
"That flute?" Mai Xuewen asked curiously, "Why do you ask this?"
Nonsense, if it wasn't for the bone flute, why would he bother investigating the case so hard? "I think I've seen that flute before."
"Perhaps they are from the collection of the Qing Palace." Mai Xuewen's eyes flashed slightly, "The Qingyang Imperial Master is fond of collecting rare objects, and he has been in office the longest. The Qing Palace's collection of rare treasures is more than that of the other three Imperial Masters.
.”
He Lingchuan stared at him. Unfortunately, the guy's face was stiff and he couldn't tell anything: "You really don't know the origin of the flute?"
"I only know that it seems to have been in the hands of Imperial Master Qingyang for a long time." "What is the relationship between you and Imperial Master Qingyang?"
Mai Xuewen responded fluently: "It doesn't matter."
Haha, He Lingchuan didn't believe it, but the other party refused to say anything. He exhaled softly, and then continued: "Based on the existing evidence and clues, it is not convenient for the prince to come forward. What's more, I have no suitable reason to stop Zhong.
Sun Mou took Fu Songhua back to Lingxu City."
He had no definite evidence in his hand, and Fushan became more and more passive.
"It can be said that when Zhong Sunmou finds Fu Songhua, the case will be closed." He said word by word, "At that time, you will have no chance."
So in the past few days, those opponents have been searching for Fu Songhua all over the city, and even the Fan brothers have not come to trouble He Lingchuan.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As long as the wanted criminal in Lingxu City is found, this game will come to an end. Mai Xuewen's long-term plan will be in vain.
This result was obviously unacceptable to Mai Xuewen, so he thought for a while and said, "Then let me do you one more favor. Tomorrow happens to be the Lotus Fragrance Festival..."
"Shut up!" He Lingchuan suddenly shouted, "You are a suspect and I am the special envoy. I don't need your help and I won't make any deals with you!"
Mai Xuewen: "..."
Jiao Yu: "..."
If you don't make a deal, is this a joke for the special envoy?
"I'm just trying to trick the suspect." He Lingchuan said, taking out a box and opening it, which contained several small wet beads.
He took out one and played with it twice, then squeezed it flat.
Mai Xuewen stared directly at it and couldn't help but stop it: "Don't!"
He Lingchuan didn't pinch it, he just looked at him, smiled, and slowly put the ball back into the box: "It seems you are very close to me."
"You can't catch me, especially in this weather."
The rain outside never stopped, and even with the windows closed, the humidity in the room was very heavy. "Don't use any evil intentions, and don't try to disturb other people's celebrations." He Lingchuan warned him sternly, "Come and surrender early.
, otherwise when I catch you, you will be severely punished!"
Mai Xuewen looked at him deeply: "You are quite interesting. I hope you are still alive after the case is concluded."
"No trouble."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man took two steps back and almost fell.
He stood upright with a start, and when he looked around again, his eyes were filled with confusion: "This?" What happened? How did he sneak into the guest room?
He turned around and saw that the doors and windows were closed and the big wooden barrel was steaming. He couldn't help but shuddered. Is it possible?
Fortunately, the guest pointed behind him: "Let's go out."
It seems that Mai Xuewen was distracted
Tong, this guy can be himself again.
The guy ran away in a hurry, not forgetting to close the door again. It seemed that Mai Xuewen's spell did no harm to him.
He Lingchuan looked at the vat of hot water.
What kind of hot water is delivered in the summer? Crazy! But it’s already delivered, so it’s a waste if you don’t use it.
But before he could take off his clothes, the tiger plopped into the water and placed its brain on the edge of the barrel.
"You're not washing in the house anyway." He half-squinted his eyes, looking like an old man taking a bath.
"...." This guy really knows how to enjoy himself.
Jiao Yu also asked him: "What riddles are you playing?"
It always felt that there was something mysterious about the last actions and questions and answers between the two people. Both parties seemed to understand something, but it didn't understand it.
Human beings, hehe, have eight hundred minds.
"Is there any?" He Lingchuan smiled, took the towel out of the hot water, folded it into a square, and put it on its forehead, "You are too worried."
Amid the steam, his smile looked a little blurry. "A stormy sea is coming."
Jiao Yu: "Ah?"
It turned its head and saw He Lingchuan lying on the couch with his hands behind his head, looking relaxed, as if the words he just said were not his.
...
In the attic across the street.
The two sentries were staring blankly at the wooden window opposite, when the guards of the Cen Mansion suddenly appeared behind them:
"Is there any movement?"
The two of them were so frightened that they almost jumped up.
"No, everything is normal." They only paid attention to the prince's envoy's behavior in the inn. They had been watching for several days. They were very well behaved, eating, sleeping and chatting.
The guard took a look and saw that He Lingchuan's wooden window was closed. "What is he doing?"
"Take a bath." The two men replied, "The guy sent a big bucket of hot water."
The guard hummed and was about to turn around when he suddenly felt something was wrong:
"Wait a minute, doesn't he go to the bathhouse to take a bath?"
"Yes, but..." I want to wash in the guest room, why can't I do that?
The guard raised his hand and gave them both a slap on the back of the head: "He closed the window in the name of taking a bath. This is abnormal. Why don't you know how to report it!"
After that, he hurried downstairs, leaving the two sentries in the attic uneasy.
Unfortunately, the guard arrived late. When he arrived at the inn, he saw that the door of He Lingchuan's room had been opened, and several boys were carrying buckets out.
The water was a bit dirty, and there were some brownish-reddish hairs floating on it.
