Shen Hao asked the jailers and wardens of the Penal Department Prison one by one in the squad room. There are eight of them in total. They have been guarding them since King Qian came in, but there is a change of shifts.
To be honest, these people are in much better condition than Shen Hao thought. At first, he thought that after such a long period of imprisonment, these people would have shed a layer of skin even if they were not dead. But now, apart from being a little depressed, these people don't have many scars on their bodies. No wonder when we talked about the loss of personnel before, Xue Gui didn't even blink.
It seems that the Ministry of Punishment is still a little soft-hearted towards these prisoners.
Shen Hao didn't come up to ask about the torture. This is the Ministry of Justice, and many things still have to abide by other people's rules. It should be that Xue Gui felt that these people were still colleagues in the Ministry of Punishment, and they were indeed only implicated to harm Chi Yu, so he did not use any harsh methods. But the corresponding drugs should not be used less, otherwise the spirits of these people would not be so bad.
The answers obtained after a round of questioning were basically consistent with those in the dossier. Many of these questions have been answered by these people no less than ten times. I was flustered, but I didn't dare not answer.
Li Qing continued to snort in her heart. She thought that this person named Shen had some clever tricks. But now it looks like this. She thought that there was some way to break the situation.
Compared to Li Qing's disapproval, Xue Gui was obviously calmer and sat silently watching Shen Hao's actions, knowing that even if Shen Hao had any new ideas, he wouldn't be able to tell for a while. .
When Xue Gui thought he had finished asking all the questions, Shen Hao did not end the inquiry and continued to ask more and more strange questions.
"When does King Qian usually get up and fall asleep in the prison cell?"
"When does Prince Qian eat every meal?"
"Is the quilt folded and tidied up by the Godfather every time you get up? Or is it spread randomly on the bed?"
"Generally speaking, how long can a pot of Baiguo Liquor last?"
These questions had never been asked before, and the people kneeling on the ground became more energetic. Because they were no longer repeating answers but needed to recall them separately, there was a little more sparkle in their eyes.
Li Qing, who was standing next to her, had a slight sneer on her face, but she didn't laugh out loud. In her opinion, Shen was just showing off. Why were you asking about such unimportant things?
But Xue Gui looked at Shen Hao deeply and continued to sit quietly beside him without saying a word.
Shen Hao's expression remained unchanged. After these people answered his questions, he nodded and asked the people from the Criminal Department to take these guys back to the prison room for custody.
"What's the matter, Master Shen? It seems that you have gained something?"
Shen Hao nodded and said with a smile: "There are some. But we are not sure yet. We need to ask the person in charge of King Qian's daily life in Prince Qian's Mansion."
However, Xue Gui had no patience to wait for Shen Hao to figure it out slowly before reporting the situation to him, so he said in a deep voice: "Master Shen, I just said before that our Major Case Department of the Criminal Department will take the lead in this matter, and Xuan Qingwei will assist. What? If you discover anything, do you still want to hide it and not say anything about it? "
Shen Hao really didn't mean this. On the contrary, the reason why he didn't say anything was because there was still a lack of supporting evidence. But now that Xue Gui has spoken about this, he can no longer remain silent.
"Master Xue, have you read that book carefully?"
"I've seen it. It tells the story of a ferocious beast on the Baijiang River. The plot is quite exciting. But I didn't find any problems. What? Does Mr. Shen think there is something wrong?"
"Well, I feel something is wrong. The words on page 19 of the book seem to give people a tingling feeling in the soul. It's very slight. I don't know if Mr. Xue can feel it."
"Huh? Seriously?!" Although Xue Gui knew that Shen Hao would not joke about this kind of thing, he was still a little unbelievable and extremely surprised at the same time. Could it be that the clues they were looking for were really right in front of them, but they had just been ignored?
Without waiting for Shen Hao to say anything else, Xue Gui turned around and left the cell, and went straight back to the cell where King Qian was previously detained. Then he picked up the book on the table and turned to page 19. He just read He remembered the content of this page in the first three lines. It was a transitional chapter, and there was nothing exciting in the content. He remembered that he didn't pay much attention when he was flipping through this page, but just scanned it. Just turned over.
Now that he heard Shen Hao's words, Xue Gui naturally read them carefully word for word, but still found no clues.
Is the person named Shen lying?
He shook his head, not believing that Shen Hao dared to deal with such a thing, so he started reading again. When Xue Gui read it for the fifth time, his eyes suddenly had a different feeling when he glanced at a word on the page.
That is a "curse" word.
The original words in the book are: Why are you so talkative? Chattering is as annoying as chanting a curse.
Xue Gui had read the seemingly innocuous sentence several times before, but this time the word "curse" was like a burr, which made his heart lurch inexplicably, and immediately he felt a tingling sensation in his soul. Flash past.
It was very slight, very slight. If Xue Gui hadn't been highly concentrated and Shen Hao had reminded him in advance, he wouldn't have been able to notice this tiny "tingling". And now that I have discovered it, it is difficult to sense it carefully. It is easy to ignore this inexplicable feeling if you don't concentrate on it.
How to describe it? It's like catching a loach in the water.
It's just a storybook. Generally speaking, you can simply flip through a few pages. If you flip through it carefully like Xue Gui did, you are taking the evidence at the crime scene very seriously. Watching it five or six times like I did just now is simply impossible under normal circumstances.
"No wonder I didn't notice it before. This is the real darkness under the light!"
After a second thought, Xue Gui was curious about how Shen Hao could detect something wrong with this book so easily. Even if Shen Hao's cultivation level is higher than before, is it possible that it is higher than that of the previous Xuanqing Guard who commanded Qianshi? Why didn't anyone notice it, but Shen Hao did it right away?
No, Shen Hao didn't discover it right away. It seems that Shen also tried it several times?
Recalling Shen Hao's strange behavior in the prison cell before, everything seemed to make sense. In addition, the word "curse" can make the soul feel stinging pain. Does it mean that their previous judgment on the cause of King Qian's death was correct? Did King Qian die from some kind of soul trick?
Thinking of this, Xue Guibu couldn't help but feel refreshed. It was like another village with dark flowers and dark flowers. He didn't expect that the surnamed Shen could really find the thread!
"Go to the yamen case library!" Xue Gui put down the book in his hand, then greeted Li Qing to leave the prison. Before leaving, he also ordered the guards to increase the security in the special prison area. No one is allowed to enter unless they have a warrant.
