Facing a group of officials who were prosecuting the prison, Yun Que was calm and talkative.
"Looking at Master Li's skills, he probably has no cultivation. He is an ordinary person."
As soon as he said this, Master Li immediately retorted:
"Although I have no cultivation skills, I have cultivated the way of a saint! I have read poetry and books all over the world, and I am always in the field of talent and ink. I am perfect in writing! I vow to imitate the rule of the sages. I will live in peace and quiet, and the bed will not be warm, and the ink will burst. Not Guizhou!"
Yun Que blinked after hearing this and said:
"My lord has great literary talent, but in the final analysis, he is still an ordinary person without any cultivation."
Mr. Li's high mood collapsed instantly. He gritted his teeth for a long time and nodded feebly.
He is said to be an ordinary person, but as a fourth-rank person in the current dynasty, how can he be called ordinary?
It can be said that he is an ordinary person with no cultivation, and he is really unable to refute.
Yun Que continued:
"The sword strike just now was made with the speed of an eighth-level warrior. As an ordinary person with no cultivation level, you all raised your head, which shows that we humans have a natural judgment of danger. I call it intuition, especially People's intuition is most sensitive when they are about to die."
"Actually, this kind of intuition is common to all living creatures in the world. For example, when you kill chickens, ducks, or even pigs, the chickens and ducks will deliberately struggle and dodge when they see the butcher's knife approaching."
"Of course I'm not saying that adults are pigs, but that intuition is a common characteristic of all creatures in the world."
The intuitive talk made everyone present feel dizzy and seemed to understand.
The young Lingshi, half of his face disfigured, pondered for a moment and nodded slightly in agreement.
Master Li couldn't stand listening anymore and said angrily: "What is the connection between intuition and the murderer!"
"Don't worry, sir, I haven't finished speaking yet."
Yun Que smiled and continued: "If I had struck down with that knife just now, I think I would have died face down, with my head down, or would have been face up, lying down with my head up."
"Of course he raised his head! He died lying face up!" Master Li roared angrily.
"Sir, you are indeed smart. You know how you died." Yun Que chuckled.
Master Li's nose was about to get angry, but he soon noticed a difference.
The body on the wooden platform had its head lowered. It should have died lying down, but when the body was found, it was face up!
The way to die is completely different.
It can even be said to be weird!
Master Li calmed down and frowned:
"When the body died, it was absolutely right to face it face up. Our Criminal Department arrived as soon as possible and no second person touched the body..."
Master Li walked back and forth in the room and analyzed:
"Could it be that the murderer's sword was too fast, leaving the deceased with no time to react before his head was dismembered?"
Yun Que denied:
"No, because no matter how fast the sword is, when it cuts off the head from the front, it will produce a force that will carry the body backwards. I have cut it thousands of times and it can't be wrong."
Master Li nodded when he heard the words, feeling that it made sense, but then he was shocked.
Cut off the head thousands of times!
Even the most senior executioner in Tianqi City dare not say that!
How many people have you killed?
The big room became quiet for a moment, and people moved to the side one after another, trying to get away from Yun Que.
No one dares to get too close to this kind of murderous maniac.
In fact, Yun Que said that he had cut it a thousand times, which was just a humble statement. He had killed ten times more monsters.
Mr. Li continued to ask with fear:
"The corpse is indeed strange, but how can you prove that the murderer is not human?"
Yun Que picked up the head again and straightened it.
Previously, when the head was closed, it was lowered. This time, when the head was raised, a gap with a large front end and a small rear end immediately appeared on the neck.
"My lord, I think this body is missing something," Yun Que said.
"There is a piece of flesh and blood missing from the corpse's neck!" Mr. Li immediately saw the clue.
"Sir, you are really smart! You can see the subtle details without noticing the consequences." Yun Que also imitated the other person's word for praise.
Lord Li was very satisfied with the first half of this sentence. After all, everyone likes words of praise.
But after listening to the second half of the sentence, Mr. Li turned blue with anger.
Knowing the details without paying attention to the public opinion. The first words of knowing the details are indeed complimentary words, but when added together, they are hurtful words.
It is said that the eyes can see the tinyness of a hair, but not a load of firewood. It is a metaphor that only small things can be seen, but not big things.
Yun Que actually also studies.
He has indeed read all the books in the county government office in Zangshi Town, otherwise he would not be able to say this.
But after reading, most of the profound principles in the book are incomprehensible, because no one teaches them.
Yun Que knew clearly that he was praising others, and felt that what he said next should be good, so he copied it and shook it off.
Mr. Li was anxious about this case and had no intention of paying attention to anything else. He asked:
"Even if the body is missing a piece of flesh and blood, it may have been caused by a murder weapon such as an axe. This alone cannot prove that the murderer is not human!"
Before Yun Que could speak, a burly Ling Shi present said:
"Sir, my subordinate's weapon is a heavy axe. Killing an enemy with an ax will indeed cause the wound to appear cracked, just like chopping wood, but the ax cannot take away a piece of flesh and blood out of thin air."
After all, Mr. Li is a civil servant with no training, and he is really a layman when it comes to killing people.
He pondered for a moment and said doubtfully:
"In that case, where did the lost flesh and blood go?"
Others were also confused and couldn't figure out where the missing flesh and blood was.
"Is it possible that he was taken away by the murderer?" said an elderly Ling Shi.
"My lord is right." Yun Que stretched out a finger and said, "The missing flesh and blood remains in the nails."
Everyone was even more confused and stared at Yun Que suspiciously.
"So the murderer is not a human, but a demon."
Yun Que gave the final answer, saying: "The monster used a sharp claw to cut open the neck of the deceased. The disappeared flesh and blood was left in the claw's nails. Not only the flesh and blood, but also a broken bone, Sir, if If you are interested, you might as well see if the corpse’s neck bone is missing a section.”
Upon hearing this, Lord Li immediately ordered the three men to start shaving off the flesh and blood.
The three gangsters hurriedly took orders.
Anyway, they are very familiar with this job. Some of the corpses of the murderers must be cut open to check the internal organs at the end.
After a while, the junction between the corpse's neck and head turned into completely white bones.
As soon as the head is connected to the body, it can be immediately seen that the neck bone is missing about half an inch, more in the front and less in the back.
The shape is consistent with the missing flesh and blood on the corpse!
"Is it really the work of a monster?"
Mr. Li opened his eyes, rubbed his hands fiercely, and said excitedly: "God opens my eyes, I finally have some clues!"
The young Lingshi with half his face disfigured said:
"The Imperial City of Tianqi is surrounded by a demon-suppressing formation, how could there be demons causing trouble?"
Others also looked back and found it incredible.
"I don't care about the formation. As long as we find out the clues about the murderer, we can report it to the superiors."
After Master Li finished speaking, he looked at Yun Que and said, "You are very good! Very good!"
"You are smart, sir." Yun Que said politely.
"Bring him two roast chickens and two pounds of beef!" Mr. Li ordered, and then added: "Give him another pot of sake! From now on, I will charge him a meal of meat every day."
All the subordinates immediately nodded and accepted the order.
The most important person in the prison is the executioner. Who dares to disagree with the orders of his superiors, let alone if the executioner pays for it himself.
Yun Que whispered in Master Li's ear:
"Sir, it's too boring in the dark cell. Let's take a look at the release time tomorrow..."
"Let's talk about it later." Lord Li waved his hand and said, "Take him back."
Yun Que smiled.
Besides, there is a way.
It wasn't that Yun Que had to go out for fun, but that he didn't know how long he would be detained.
It's not okay to waste time in a cell all day.
When he heard that his case was marked for trial, Yun Que knew that the matter would be postponed indefinitely.
It doesn't matter if he is locked up for a few days or even a month or two. If he really wants to be locked up for ten or eight years, then Yun Que would rather escape than leave Dajin at the worst.
Yun Que had to prepare in advance, find out the general cultivation level and terrain conditions of the Tianlao guards, and prepare backup plans to escape.
The disfigured Ling Shi was responsible for escorting Yun Que.
On the way back to the cell, the man smiled and said:
"This little brother is so good at solving cases, it's really admirable."
"A blind cat will kill a mouse, it's just luck." Yun Que said politely.
"Luck, isn't it a kind of talent? Did my little brother really kill thousands of people?"
"No, I don't do much killing. I just kill some lynx and get some animal skins to make a living when I have nothing else to do."
"The lynx beast that the little brother mentioned probably refers to monsters. It seems that you kill monsters a lot. It just so happens that I also like to hunt monsters. If there is a chance, we can compete and see who can kill more and stronger monsters."
"Sir, you are joking. There is no monster under the world."
"Who says no! The Academy has a monster mountain outside the city. There are many monsters in it, and it is specially used for students to hunt. It is a place of trial. I go there often, and sometimes I get injured, but the feeling of killing monsters is really satisfying!"
"There is also a monster mountain in the academy? Aren't you afraid of monsters hurting people?"
"Of course it won't hurt anyone. There is a magic circle around the monster mountain, and the monsters inside cannot get out."
"Is that so? I wonder if the monster inside will belong to me if I hunt it down?"
"This... I really don't know. Usually monster corpses are left in Monster Mountain. My little brother's thinking is really strange, haha!"
"There's nothing I can do. People are poor and have short ambitions. It's best to make money in the academy, otherwise I won't be able to afford my living expenses."
"Little brother, are you also planning to apply for Tianqi Academy?"
"Yes, I have the qualifications to recommend, so I can just participate in the final assessment."
"That's great! I am a student of the Academy's Yanwu Hall. I work here as an errand during the day and return to the Academy to practice at night. When you enter the Academy, we will be classmates! My name is Wu Ying. If you have any difficulties in Tianlao, you can ask me The jailer came to see me.”
Wu Ying seemed very enthusiastic. After sending Yun Que back to the cell, he personally delivered the food that Lord Li had ordered.
After Wu Ying left, Yun Que started to eat.
A mouthful of beef and a mouthful of wine made the stone next to him swallow his saliva.
"Boss, this isn't going to be a meal for your head, right?"
Shitou said fearfully.
He has seen many prisoners who have a good meal and drink, but after eating and drinking, they will be taken to the execution ground and beheaded.
"I'm not guilty of killing you," Yun Que said.
Shitou was doubtful. After looking at the roast chicken and beef, he became a little convinced.
Because this tastes a little too good!
Most of the rice dishes include a chicken drumstick and a big bowl of rice, but I’ve never seen two roast chickens and two pounds of beef, and there’s even wine!
Smelling the aroma of wine, Shitou took a few steps forward, returned the silver nail to Yun Que with a smile, and said:
"Boss, we've dug it all! You can see the next door!"
"It's pretty fast."
Yun Que put away the silver nails, poured a bowl of wine for the other party, and ordered a piece of roast chicken.
It's not a reward, it's just eating this person's breakfast in the morning and giving him a meal.
Shitou thanked him quickly, took a sip of sake first, and then grabbed the roast chicken and ate it happily.
"What's there to see next door?" Yun Que said while eating.
"Hey, boss, you'll know after watching it later. I'm sure you'll still want to read it after it's over!" Shitou said mysteriously.
