The cells in the Sky Prison are next to each other.
The cell next to Yun Que's cell should logically contain prisoners, but Yun Que really couldn't think of anything to see.
But since Shitou spoke so mysteriously, it aroused Yun Que's interest.
After finishing the meal, Yun Que came to the hole and casually glanced at the next door.
The person in the cell next door is a woman.
His hair was disheveled, his clothes were disheveled, and one shoulder was exposed, showing a dazzling white color.
The woman sat in the corner with her knees folded, her head lowered, and her face could not be seen.
Yun Que took one look and lost interest.
I thought I was holding a monster, but it turned out to be just a weak woman.
Just as Yun Que was about to look away, the woman in the cell slowly raised her head and looked at the hole in the wall.
Yun Que saw the other party's face.
This woman is in her twenties, looks disheveled and slovenly, but her appearance is actually extremely beautiful!
She has a face with oval seeds, eyebrows with willow leaves, a pair of clear eyes like autumn water, a delicate nose, and a small cherry mouth that is unstained and red.
Each of the woman's facial features is impeccable, and when combined together, they are even more beautiful and reveal a kind of enchantment, like a dancer from an exotic land or a witch from heaven.
Such an iconic beauty is actually locked up in a dark prison. Anyone who sees her will feel pity for her and wish to rescue her from this place of suffering.
Yun Que has seen a lot of beauties.
No matter Xiu'er, a lady from Zangshi Town, or Wu Ling'er, who is smart and cunning, they are both beautiful girls, not to mention the natural beauty of Princess Lingyun.
But the woman in the cell next door gave people a feeling of being frail and evil, and beautiful but murderous. She was like an iceberg that could only be seen from a distance but not approachable. Her whole body exuded the indifference of being undisturbed by strangers.
The moment he saw the woman's face, Yun Que could only think of one word to describe it.
Beauty is like a fox!
If this was not the imperial city's prison, if he met this woman in the wilderness, Yun Que would think that she was a fox demon.
Just like a vixen!
Appreciating beauties is one of Yun Que's hobbies.
Yun Que looked at it openly for a while.
The woman obviously also saw the eyes in the hole in the wall. She silently looked at Yun Que. There was no fluctuation in her eyes, like a pool of stagnant water.
Yun Que didn't blink, and neither did the woman.
The two of them stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes as if they were competing.
Shitou swallowed hard as he waited nearby, intending to let Yun Que rest for a while. He felt better than his eyesore, but he didn't dare to speak.
Mr. Li, the punishment officer, said it himself, this man was carrying more than 300 lives.
It wasn't until meal time that the situation changed.
Yun Que is an eighth-level warrior. He just stares. He is not tired at all. He can watch for a whole day.
The woman first lowered her gaze, then slowly raised her hands and began to unbutton her prison uniform.
Yun Que felt strange.
Could it be that this woman has a quirk? Not only is she not annoyed by being looked at, but she also wants others to see her even more?
So Yun Que's eyes widened and he leaned against the cell wall, watching with great interest.
This kind of small scene is really child's play for the demon hunter who has seen all the young women bathing in Zangshi Town.
With the movement of the woman's hand, the first button was separated.
A large area of crystal white appeared.
Then the woman began to unbutton the second button.
Just when the second button was about to be untied, a ferocious image suddenly appeared in front of Yun Que's eyes!
A huge centipede actually got into the hole in the wall and quickly crawled towards Yun Que's eyes.
The sky prison was dark and damp, and there were naturally a lot of insects and ants. If you were bitten by a centipede in the eye, it would be no joke.
Yun Que's reaction speed is naturally not comparable to Centipede's.
Turn aside and get out of the way of the wall hole.
The centipede crawled out along the hole in the wall and quickly disappeared into the corner.
When Shitou saw the centipede, he rushed over and stamped on it, cursing at the same time, for fear of being bitten by this thing.
Although ordinary centipedes are not fatal, the wounds will definitely be red and swollen. This is a prison where no one is treating the prisoners. The only one who suffers is himself.
Yun Que's eyebrows moved without a trace, and he glanced at the corner where the centipede crawled away.
coincide?
Look into the hole in the wall again.
The woman next door had already buttoned up her clothes, her head was lowered, and she was curled up in the corner motionless.
The disappointing centipede.
Yun Que didn't think much about it. He sat cross-legged on the wooden bed and circulated Qi throughout his body. He closed his eyes and meditated, thinking about the autopsy just now.
Judging from the few words of Master Li, something big must have happened in the palace.
It is very strange that the murderer kills the palace maid and escapes unharmed.
No one would sneak into the palace just to kill a palace maid. There must be a special purpose.
According to common sense, the murderer should have gone for the emperor and wanted to assassinate him.
With Yun Que's quick thinking, he ruled out this guess immediately.
There must be experts protecting the emperor day and night. If the murderer wants to assassinate the emperor, the first person he will encounter will not be a palace concubine, but a group of internal experts.
But there was only one body.
If there were more corpses, Yun Que believed that Mr. Li would take them all out for analysis.
Yun Que guessed,
The murderer who killed Gong'e was not targeting the emperor, but the valuable things in the palace.
The murderer's identity is a thief!
After the theft, he happened to be caught by Gong E, and then he killed him, leaving traces.
Judging from Master Li's eagerness to find clues to the murderer, the murderer must have succeeded and took something valuable away. The emperor was furious because of this, and the Ministry of Punishment was naturally unlucky.
"What's missing from the palace?"
Yun Que thought to himself in his heart.
The emperor was too far away from him, and it was hard for Yun Que to imagine the wealth of the palace. He really couldn't guess what the royal family had lost.
Yun Que turned to analyze the murderer.
Yun Que was more interested in the mysterious murderer than the theft of the palace.
Because that guy is related to demons.
The murderer may not really be a monster. It is more likely that he is a practitioner who can control monsters.
For example, a demon hunter like myself.
If he uses the power of the demon, Yun Que can also kill people with his demon claws, leaving wounds exactly like those on Gong E's body.
"The demon-suppressing formation does not seem to be as powerful as the rumors. There must be some kind of flaw, or someone can block the demonic energy in the formation."
Yun Que thought so in his heart.
Otherwise, there would be no such strange news as the monster in the palace.
"Instead of killing the palace maid, it would be better to knock her unconscious, which would reduce the trouble."
Yun Que continued to calculate, thinking to himself in his heart.
Killing will not only leave traces, but also reveal the murderer's traces faster, attracting the palace guards to pursue him.
If you knock him out, you will have more time to escape.
The murderer insisted on killing the palace maid, which in Yun Que's opinion could only explain one point.
The palace maid saw the appearance of the murderer, or saw the silhouette of the murderer clearly, and was silenced.
"The murderer seems to be very familiar with the palace, and he doesn't want outsiders to see anything about him. This guy is quite interesting."
Yun Que secretly smiled.
He has roughly guessed the true identity of the murderer.
It is very likely that he is someone from the temple, a master of the military, or even a member of the royal family.
In a word,
The murderer was a mole who was hiding in Tianqi Imperial City, and he had a high-status identity to cover up.
If Yun Que learns that something is missing in the palace, he can analyze more clues.
Unfortunately, Master Li is tight-lipped.
Or maybe the plow master didn't know what was stolen.
Dispersing his thoughts, Yun Que stopped thinking too much.
He had no interest in paying attention to the emperor's family affairs.
However, the clues about the murderer of the conspiracy cannot be wasted. Yun Que is ready to use one or two more opportunities to exchange for something with Master Li.
Shi Shi was still peeping at the next door from the wall, looking at it with gusto and swallowing his saliva from time to time.
"Seeing too much hurts your eyes."
Yun Que said casually.
Shitou immediately left the hole in the wall obediently, imitated Yun Que and sat cross-legged on the wooden bed, and said with a smile:
"How about it, boss? Do you still want to watch it after watching it? In all my life, I have never seen a woman who is more beautiful than her!"
"That's because you haven't lived long enough." Yun Que said.
"The longer I live, the older the women I see get. I can't marry a wife who will get younger as I live." Shitou said doubtfully.
"Silly, as long as you live for thousands of years and become an immortal, you can see fairies. How can fairies be uglier than her?" Yun Que said.
"Yes, that seems to be the case..." Shitou scratched his head and felt something was wrong. He smiled bitterly and said: "Hey, how can I become an immortal? If I can have a family in this life, I will thank God and my ancestors."
"Who is the woman next door?" Yun Que asked.
"Amei, the plum of plum blossoms! No one knows her real name. Amei was named by the prisoners in the prison." Shitou said.
"Amei? Why did you choose this name? It looks like a maid." Yun Que said.
"Because she likes plum blossoms! In the outdoor area, there are some plum trees outside the wall. When they bloom, if you jump high enough, you will have the opportunity to pick a few. Just give Amei two plum blossoms, and she will sing you a little song in return. ." Shitou said.
"What does she want Meihua for?" Yun Que asked.
"I like it! Don't all women like flowers?" Shitou scratched his head.
Yun Que glanced at the holes in the wall.
Plum blossoms can not only be seen and smelled, but can also be used as medicine.
"When the plum blossoms are in full bloom in a few days, I will definitely be able to pick more with my skill! By then, I will have a blessed ear. I guarantee that I will never hear such a nice song in my life!" Shitou guaranteed. road.
"How good is it? Can it be better than the oiran in the brothel?" Yun Que said in disbelief.
"No comparison!"
Shitou said enthusiastically: "In my line of work, you have to deal with big bosses. Sometimes when the boss receives the account, he will take us to a brothel to listen to music. There are eight most famous brothels in Tianqi Imperial City. I have heard most of the oirans, but compared to Amei’s singing, those oirans’ singing is simply hard to listen to!”
"Does it sound that good?" Yun Que asked curiously.
"The little song Amei sings is absolutely heavenly! I will never forget it once I hear it!"
Shitou showed off: "Last year I stepped on another inmate's shoulder to reach two plum blossoms, and was beaten by the jailer. After listening to Amei's song, I feel that two more beatings are worth it!"
Yun Que was curious.
Xiaoqu'er can also sing the sound of nature, which is such a high level of musical attainment.
She is extremely beautiful and has a good voice. How could a woman like this end up in a prison?
"That Amei, what is her crime?" Yun Que asked.
When Amei's crime was mentioned, Shitou's expression immediately became strange.
