Of course, compared to all these distractions, Jiang Tian at this moment is still focused on the matter in front of him. For example, in an underground site that has been initially developed, we can conduct in-vivo experiments on the specific killing effect and practicality of the foreign object that has been recovered.
Another example is the interrogation of Zhang Xianwei and others who were brought back. That's right, this time Jiang Tian decided to let the Xijing branch of the secret censorship department/lixingyuan itself conduct the subsequent interrogation and investigation work. The reason is also very simple. There is distrust in the eyes of existing Yamen officials.
Since in the previous series of cases, most of the captures and evidence that were directly or indirectly seized and handed over by him were quickly cut off, and there was not much progress and evidence in a short period of time. below. This time, there was a package swap incident that was both internal and external.
Therefore, Jiang Tian made up his mind that this time with the completion of the establishment of the Anxing Yushi Department/Li Xingyuan, he would personally lead the subsequent investigation. Of course, there are still relatively many vacancies in the Xijing branch, so we can only second one or two from the relevant departments.
For example, the Yushitai Chaoyuan, where Jiang Tian's own official was located, or the Jinwu Lingwei Zhonglang General's Mansion, which also held official posts. Therefore, the first person to respond was the Yushi Procuratorate. And this time, the person who was ordered to bring people to support and cooperate with the official business was surprisingly an old acquaintance of Jiang Tian.
"Old Goose? Brother Goose? Chief Murong?" Lin Jiulang, Li Huan, Zhang Wusheng and others who happened to be present couldn't help shouting hello one after another: because, in a sense, they have shouldered the gun together, and they have carried the gun together. The old comrade-in-arms who was put into a brothel at public expense.
I saw that the man was of medium height with heavy eyebrows, and his blue-black uniform was stretched tight by tendons; he had a deterrent power of his own. Surprisingly, it was Murong Wu, the prison officer in Taiwan Prison, who was responsible for supervising Jiang Tian when he was in Taiwan Prison. Later, he also investigated the Youtufang incident together.
"Superintendent, from now on, I will be your subordinate, please do as you please." He was very cheerful and respectful, bowed his hands and said with a smile: "These men are also from All of them recruited from the prison are good interrogators in public affairs."
"Since it's you, everything is easy to talk about." Jiang Tian also nodded and smiled: "But are you really determined to come to my side? You know, the relationship in Lixingyuan is not as good as elsewhere, and we face each other all day long. That’s right, those strange things are inevitably accompanied by danger.”
"To be honest, sir, my subordinates have already thought clearly." Murong Wu climbed up the pole and said, "Nowadays, beasts and ghosts are wreaking havoc in the world, and there are many changes. I'm afraid I may not be able to hide away even if I want to. It's better to use this to protect my subordinates; what's more, my subordinates also have selfish desires."
"But I don't know what you want?" Jiang Tian asked interestingly: "Can you tell me and listen to it? If the conditions are right, I can also help."
"Sir, do you still remember Chen Guanshui, the captain of Youtufang?" Murong Wu suddenly smiled bitterly when he heard this and said, "In order to take care of your daily affairs, I entrusted him with the responsibility."
"Chen Guanshui, didn't he disappear afterwards?" Jiang Tian couldn't help but ask: "According to official documents, it is also said that he may be involved and related to the criminals who caused trouble in Youtufang?"
"Yes, he can be regarded as an old acquaintance of mine since childhood." Murong Wu said with a helpless smile: "Since he disappeared that night, neither the living nor the dead have been seen; the whole family is left without food and clothing. So he fell into hunger and cold. Unfortunately, he had no pension or income..."
"I have always wanted to find out the connection behind it. No matter whether he lives or is good or bad, I can also come to a conclusion about his family. However, I have been repeatedly frustrated. Even my superior officer was warned not to get involved in this matter again." Murong Wu spread his arms again and said calmly: "But this matter is a thorn in my heart after all. So I can only use it to switch to the nobles and see if there is an opportunity to find another way. Please let me know the inside story." Forgive me..."
"It's just that, but it doesn't matter." Hearing his confession, Jiang Tian didn't take it seriously and said: "As long as you can be diligent in official duties and not neglect your career; even if you conduct private investigations, you can do it. Put it on the table and let this department help you.”
"Thank you, sir!" Murong Wu could not help but be overjoyed and thanked me again: "There is no need to thank me deliberately, you deserve this." Jiang Tian said meaningfully: "After all, I also want to know about Youtufang What other involvements and relationships are behind the incident?"
You must know that before going to Dongdu, he also sent people to recruit some old acquaintances who came to this world. It's just that most of them have no results; for example, Fan Shishi declined the invitation from Jiang Tian due to the burden of his family; and Chu Yu simply couldn't find anyone.
What was unexpected in the end was that Murong Wu, who was born in Tailao, expressed a vague response in private. Therefore, now he was ordered to resign from Tailao and secretly worked in the Censorship Department. /It was due to the inspection by the Supervisor of Lixingyuan.
However, with the arrival of Murong Wu, there was a little extra news. The leader of the Yunmeng thieves who had been captured by Jiang Tian on the way, and who almost managed to rob a prisoner by cooperating inside and outside, managed to escape from the tight supervision of Dongdu again for some unknown reason.
And the case he was involved in was only slightly revealed; it involved a large-scale private money counterfeiting gang. And unlike those cases of privately minting treasures and forging money notes that have been investigated in the past, this gang specializes in forging debt bills.
Moreover, they were not forging treasury bonds/official bills issued by the Tang Dynasty, or iron bills/debt bills with strong or relatively stable face values in the names of powerful vassal princes; they were specifically forging those whose values fluctuated. The larger debts of small and medium-sized princes and vassals were mixed with pearls to make profits.
Moreover, the means of doing things are relatively hidden and meticulous, and basically flow into the market through layers of changing hands. Therefore, they were investigated for many years under the joint efforts of Yousi of the imperial court. They only investigated some exposed members and peripheral contacts, but they were never able to completely destroy them in one fell swoop.
So as time went by, another bad rumor arose. In other words, these forged vassal bonds were actually due to the fact that some desperate overseas vassals and princes secretly participated in the matter and even facilitated it; that is why they were constantly investigated and banned.
Therefore, the leader and important member of the Yunmeng Thieves who was inadvertently arrested in the Eastern Capital is said to have mastered one of the important channels for transportation. It's just that his arrest was a complete accident. He was imprisoned because he was drunk, causing trouble and causing injury in the flower shop.
And this result could not help but make Jiang Tian sigh again; hundreds of years of prosperity, prosperity, and long-term peace have indeed made the central bureaucracy of the Tang Dynasty full of loopholes and problems like a sieve; it also strengthened his determination to start anew and investigate on his own. Determination and motivation.
Murong Wu, who was full of energy, was gearing up to head to the side building, preparing to torture the suspects brought back from Shangluo County this time. Jiang Tian was also led to the large stone cave behind the main building, a new testing site that was originally transformed from the human-animal fighting arena.
I saw groups of medical officers wearing full rubber protective gowns, dissecting several mutilated ghost figures on the stone platform. These mutilated ghost figures were not yet dead, but they had been disemboweled and restrained on the stone platform. Under the operation of various instruments, there are ups and downs of whining and roaring sounds.
And when the aura of one of the ghosts began to decline, and the dissected abdominal cavity began to lose its ability to heal, someone grabbed a handful of animal offal from the Blood Lake with gloves and stuffed it into its mouth which was held open and fixed by the bracket. in the device; then, the wound begins to close and heal again.
The large and small glass jars and cylindrical vessels next to them were already mostly filled with various strange-shaped organs and internal organs, as well as colorful blood samples. The condescending Jiang Tian seemed to be filled with some kind of bloody and horrific anti-humanity meaning.
Then, in the test site below, a tall and strong medical officer with a thick smock covering his head and face was seen taking the initiative to walk to the observation platform several feet high, and said angrily to Jiang: "I have seen the supervisor, since I have seen him The supervisor has arrived, so my subordinates can proceed to the next step."
Then, with the gentle ringing of the small bell, as the iron bars and partition gates were raised, a ghost man with half his body festering was sent out from the doorway originally used for exit. Then the tall and strong medical officer took out a syringe with grey-green serous fluid from his side and stabbed it hard on his neck.
After a while, I saw that the ulcers on the ghost man's body suddenly began to squirm and grow and heal. As the large moss-like scars continued to fall off, blue-gray and pink-white intact skin was actually exposed; Shrinkage and degeneration also occurred in the mouth clefts and claws.
After more than ten breaths, the protruding joints of the ghost man were gone, and it was slowly degenerating into its original humanoid outline; even its original human face could be vaguely seen. However, the next moment, it, which had just sprouted lips and tongue, suddenly screamed sharply.
With the uncontrollable scream, the appearance of the degraded ghost man squirmed and expanded again, and huge swellings appeared one after another; they exploded almost immediately, splashing on the It fell on those medical officers and their co-workers who couldn't give in.
In an instant, patches of burning stench erupted; and on the double-layered asbestos-rubber coats of these medical officers, spots of yellow-brown scorch marks were left; apparently they were composed of highly corrosive body fluids. Then the fan blades above rotate rapidly and begin to replace the air.
When the smoke in the field below dissipated, all that was left in place of the ghost man on the stone platform was a pile of ash-like skeletons. However, Jiang Tian felt calm about this, and immediately nodded and said: "You continue, don't stop!"
"The experiment continues with the officer's order."
"The experiment continues!"
With the sound of the order from below, and then the golden bell rang again, the iron gate and gate were raised again, and the iron frame cover above was lowered again. Once again, two ghost men on iron frame carts were brought in, and the medical officers and co-workers present were also replaced;
At the same time, a group of full-body protection workers quickly entered the scene. Around the stone platform of the two ghosts, iron sheets and rubberized baffles were erected, and they were put together tightly, leaving only a slope for people to enter. Open the door to prevent the next self-explosion and sputtering.
However, the two ghosts who were injected with gray-green slurry again could not hold on longer; they collided again and exploded with a dull sound, leaving only a pool of blood and flesh on the stone platform. However, Jiang Tian never spoke again, and his subordinates did not dare to stop.
Immediately afterwards, ghosts were sent in one after another, and then they exploded and splashed on the iron baffle during violent squirming changes, turning into layers of thick attachments. It wasn't until the eleventh ghost, the big green-skinned ghost who had just been captured, that things suddenly changed.
The green-skinned ghost who was once the leader of the Wuguandao attackers slowly shrank into a roughly human shape as his outer skin continued to fester and peel. However, the transformation suddenly stopped. The medical officers and co-workers present could not help but burst into faint cheers.
Because right now, lying in a large pool of dirty blood and rotten flesh, was a pale middle-aged man who was naked and wrinkled. This also means that the brain extract from the ghost man who can temporarily change human form has achieved success in the restoration experiment for the first time.
Then, the tall and strong medical officer who had changed his outfit once again led Jiang Tian inside, into another specially designed monitoring room. Inside, there was a large white glazed urn with half of it soaked in it. Jiang Tian seized the strange mummy from Dongdu Underground City.
Although this mummy still looks shriveled and black. However, when two handymen poured the entire bucket of animal organs and blood into the large vat, the thick blood was instantly absorbed by the mummy and quickly became thinner. .
The large groups of chopped organs slowly decomposed, disintegrated, and dissipated in the liquid in the large vat, and even gradually lost their color; in the end, only some gray-white fine residue remained, which slowly settled to the bottom of the vat.
"Supervisor Mingjian, this thing you brought is really evil. Not only does it look like it's alive, but it can also absorb blood." Only then did Medical Officer Gao Zhuang speak up: "In addition, my subordinates will fish it out." During the analysis, it was found that some silkworms that occasionally trembled had grown out where the internal organs were."
"You can continue to observe and experiment, but you must take full protection." Jiang Tian thought for a while and explained: "Once there is any abnormality, deal with it decisively; whether it is fire, acid leaching, or sulfur explosion That’s fine, we must not let it get out of this door.”
When Jiang Tian returned to the main building, the announcement came again from outside; but it was Murong Wu and others who had already made preliminary results on some of the suspects they had brought back. The next moment, Jiang Tian gave the order without hesitation: "Gather the existing troops and bring the guys to catch people for me."
