In addition to in-depth analysis of the case, Xu Zhen is also considering his own situation.
Currently, Shen Yu and Qin Yin who are traveling with him are waiting at the inn, and Jia Ding is also waiting for Xu Zhen's order at the designated place.
However, judging from the current situation, Xu Zhen cannot contact them yet.
After all, Dongfang Meiyan still has doubts about Xu Zhen's identity. It would not be appropriate to meet Shen Yu and others rashly at this time.
Because Dongfang Meiyan doubts Xu Zhen, doesn’t Xu Zhen also doubt Dongfang Meiyan?
Although I don’t quite understand the rules of the Detective Division in handling cases, since they are investigating such an important case, why did they only send one female detective here?
Is this the boldness of a skilled artist, or is he hiding some ulterior secret?
If... this woman is also one of those four forces, then it would obviously be unwise for me to give the truth too early.
Of course, Xu Zhen naturally doesn't want Dongfang Meiyan to have any problems, because this woman is really quite powerful, and the unique martial arts skills she has shown before seem to be comparable to Li Chan'er.
Once this person stands on the opposite side, he will definitely be a huge threat...
…
At dawn the next day, Xu Zhen arrived at Sima Xin's place early.
Sima Xin took Xu Zhen into the back room, but found that Dongfang Meiyan did not appear, and there were only two of them in the room.
"This guy is very lucky and very lucky," Sima Xin lowered his voice and pointed to a room further back. "If we hadn't found the secret room in time, even if we had not found the secret room in one or two hours at night, he would have completely disappeared." Hopeless."
"Then..." Xu Zhen asked hurriedly, "Is he awake?"
Sima Xin shook his head helplessly: "Listen to me, I have found the most reliable doctor and are treating him inside. He has more than a hundred wounds all over his body, and you also saw the laceration on his back.
"But the most serious thing is not these. According to what the doctor said, Fang Wubing should have been drugged with some kind of ecstasy. This ecstasy itself contains toxins. It is uncertain whether he will be able to wake up in the future."
"Ecstasy?"
The first thing Xu Zhen thought of was the Veritaserum from his previous life. Veritaserum is a hallucinogenic drug that, given a certain dose, can make people obey and answer all questions.
Thinking of this, Xu Zhen hurriedly asked:
"Did Lao Li give him this medicine for interrogation?"
"It should be, right?" Sima Xin said helplessly, "When the Eastern God Capture comes later, why not ask her? I have only heard of such a thing, but I have never seen it.
"But you must be right. The cook named Lao Li probably wants to use this ecstasy to get Fang Wuyou to reveal his secret."
oh……
Xu Zhen seemed to understand something. Lao Li and others did not take Fang Wubing out of the prison, but wanted to take him to the secret room.
Perhaps it's because Fang Wubing himself is difficult to deal with?
Think about it, they could only force Fang Wuyi to escape late at night, and the city gate was closed late at night, so they could not leave the city.
And once Fang Wubing escapes from prison, the city will inevitably be under martial law and the whole city will be hunted. Plus, if Fang Wubing is not easy to control, it will be even more dangerous, right?
That's why they used such unexpected tactics.
Unfortunately, in the end, they missed a move and underestimated Fang Wubing's willpower, and were killed by the violent Fang Wubing.
Just by seeing the scene, one can imagine how tragic the counter-attack was!
"Xu Zhen, you tell me..." Sima Xin frowned and said, "Lao Li and his gang have been planning carefully for so long. This ecstasy must have been tested repeatedly, right?"
"Yes." In fact, Xu Zhen already knew what Sima Xin was going to say, but he still asked, "What do you mean, sir?"
"I'm thinking..." Sima Xing gestured with his hands and said, "Could the bloody words Fang Wubing left on the ground... be the answer that Lao Li and the others want to know?"
"Oh?" Xu Zhen suddenly remembered the word "Ji" on the ground.
Indeed, Xu Zhen felt the same way.
It is conceivable that Lao Li was interrogating Fang Wubing in the secret room, so he was bound to win, so he used ecstasy on Fang Wubing as soon as he came up, hoping to make Fang Wubing reveal the secret.
But Fang Wubing's willpower was far beyond ordinary people. He carried it for several days without saying anything.
Lao Li became more and more anxious, constantly using torture to put pressure on him, and at the same time increasing the dose of ecstasy.
Finally, Fang Wubing felt that he could no longer hold on any longer, so he made a desperate move and died together with Lao Li.
However, after killing Lao Li, he could no longer withstand the effects of the Ecstasy, so he left the word "Ji" on the ground.
Therefore, the word "Ji" is very important. If the mystery can be understood, the case may be solved.
But... how difficult is it to write just one word?
Tsk tsk...
As Xu Zhen smacked his lips, he thought of yesterday's survey of the scene. He seemed to have seen a vague blood stain in front of the word "Ji".
Now that I think about it, there is probably one or more characters before the word "ji".
It’s just that I don’t know if Fang Wubing knocked it down when he passed out, or if Dongfang Meiyan accidentally erased it when Fang Wubing flipped the page, or... it was Dongfang Meiyan...
No way?
Xu Zhen felt like he was breaking out in a cold sweat. He remembered that when turning over the corpse, it was Dongfang Meiyan who first discovered the word "blood".
So... what if she saw the complete words in blood and then deliberately erased the previous words?
Another point.
Xu Zhen clearly remembered that the word "Ji" left by Fang Wubing was completely closed, that is to say, there should be no content after the word "Ji".
What Fang Wubing left behind was definitely a complete message.
So... what will the words in front be?
Xu Zhen tried hard to recall and tried to find clues through "The Way of Demons", but there seemed to be no record of the word "Ji" in "The Way of Demons".
At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Dongfang Meiyan entered the room quietly.
this……
Xu Zhen and Sima Xin just raised their hands to say hello, but when they saw Dongfang Meiyan's appearance, they were both stunned.
But Dongfang Meiyan changed into a dark blue satin gown and wore a Xiaoyao scarf. She turned out to be a standard scholar's dress!
However, this scholar is a little too beautiful with heavy makeup!
"The Eastern God," Xu Zhen asked with wide eyes, "Are you... a woman disguised as a man?"
"..." Sima Xin didn't dare to speak and quickly lowered his head.
"Little enemy," Dongfang Meiyan said angrily, "I told you to call me sister Meiyan!"
"..." Xu Zhen was speechless.
"..." Sima Xin was like an ostrich, almost burying his head in the floor tiles.
"I already inspected it last night," Dongfang Meimei opened the folding fan in her hand and said with a smile, "After lunch today, my little friend will follow me to visit the Demon Mansion!"
"What?" Xu Zhen grinned, "Demon Tower?"
As he spoke, many scenes from "Journey to the West" popped up in Xu Zhen's mind.
"Demon Tower?" Sima Xin said awkwardly, "There...they don't accept female guests there."
"So," Dongfang Meiyan pointed to the area under her nose, "My beard will be delivered at noon."
beard……
The meaning of Dongfang Meiyan is obviously that women dress up as men.
"Wait a minute," Xu Zhen asked hurriedly, "Where is the Demon Tower? Why do you want to go there?"
"No way?" Dongfang Meiyan was surprised, "You don't know the place with the most beautiful women in Daguan City? Don't pretend to be pure in front of your sister!"
"..." Xu Zhen was speechless and covered his face...
