"Take it away?!" Xue Gui's body suddenly leaned forward, and his voice changed a bit.
"Yes, they have been taken away. Because the time is stuck very accurately, it is basically certain that it was premeditated. The purpose is to cover up the strange things in the previous books." Shen Hao said unhurriedly: "But I His luck was pretty good, because he was not the only one who liked to read storybooks in Prince Qian's Mansion. There were two servants in charge of chores who also liked it, so some of the storybooks that King Qian had read recently were retained by them and were not sold. .”
As he spoke, Shen Hao flipped his hands, took out a book from his storage bag and put it in front of Xue Gui, and then continued: "A total of four books were cut off by two housekeepers, and three of them were fine. Only this one It's different. Mr. Xue can just turn to page seventeen."
It really depends on luck. Pang Ban saw this very accurately. He often said that Shen Hao was a lucky person. Luck was invisible and intangible, but it played an extremely important role in the world, and people had to pay attention to it. Just like this time, if Shen Hao hadn't been lucky, the clues he had managed to pull out before would have been broken again.
Xue Gui quickly took the book on the table and looked at the cover first. The style was the same as the previous book "Beasts of Baijiang", and the seal of the bookstore stamped in the lower corner was also the same, indicating that it came from the same place.
The title of the book is "Xuanguang Sword". Just by looking at the name, you can tell that this book should be about a sword cultivator.
Xue Gui usually doesn't read books other than those related to spiritual practice, and he is even less interested in conversation books. His daily life can be used as a conversation book. But now he is very interested in this book "Xuanguang Sword".
I opened the seventeen pages as Shen Hao said, and after reading it over and over again, I found nothing strange at all as before. But with the experience from last time as a basis, Xue Gui was not anxious at all. He read it word by word over and over again, and by the seventh time he finally discovered the problem.
Original words from the book: Look at that man, he can look like he has lost his soul after just a set of simple sword moves. It's ridiculous.
Likewise, there was only one strange word in this sentence, which pierced Xue Gui's soul like a thorn.
The word "soul".
Shen Hao had been paying attention to Xue Gui's actions. He found that the other party had indeed found the clues in the book after repeating it many times. This was consistent with his previous guess. Because others don't have the black beast tattoo as a warning like him, it is difficult to discover the hidden moves in the book just by looking at it with the eyes and normal perception. I also understand why this clue was ignored before.
However, Shen Hao secretly thought: It seems that even if the soul is stained by the two stains of "curse" and "soul", it will not die and will not feel anything. This means that there must be King Zhiqian in the books that were taken away. Weird text that kills people.
Xue Gui's eyes were excited. He had not thought that he had become Shen Hao's test subject unconsciously and walked through the gate of hell.
"If there are one and two, then there must be other similar weird scripts. So based on this, I think this is how King Qian died."
He had made judgments before, but after the second strange story book appeared, Shen Hao gained some confidence. This was considered to be a confirmation.
Xue Gui is also an expert in handling cases. He didn't find the right way before, but now after being awakened by Shen Hao, he found that he understood what Shen Hao meant.
"You mean that this kind of method slowly accumulates in people's souls, and finally explodes when it reaches a certain point?" After saying this, he thought about it in his heart, and a trace of horror flashed in his eyes, and then he looked There was a hint of hostility in Shen Hao's eyes, but Xue Gui concealed it well, and the hostility in his eyes disappeared in a flash.
Xue Gui also came to his senses. If King Qian was killed by all the strange methods in these books, then he had actually taken a risk just now. Shen Hao, who was sitting opposite him, obviously knew but did not remind him. If he guessed correctly, Shen Hao was using him as a test.
This feeling of walking blindfolded on the edge of the cliff was very uncomfortable, and even Xue Gui's view of Shen Hao changed from "dislike" to "disgust". A person who doesn't take the lives of others seriously is indeed disgusting.
Is Shen Hao a good person? of course not. He has always positioned himself as a bad guy with a bottom line.
Do bad guys care what irrelevant others think of them? of course not. Although Xue Gui had always behaved very restrainedly in front of Shen Hao and acted businesslike, the fact that he had run away so quickly when he was in the prison showed that the chief officer of the major case division did not put Shen Hao in his heart. In his eyes, this can be clearly seen from the attitude of Xue Gui's adjutant Li Qing.
Xue Gui is brooding about the last case of the Qin family. In this case, Shen Hao will not treat the other party as a passerby or one of his own. It is appropriate to describe him as "having no good intentions towards you".
Therefore, Shen Hao would not care about Xue Gui's life or death. If you are unlucky and catch up with Xue Gui, the worst thing you can do is write a situation statement and give Xue Gui the title of "died in the line of duty."
Since it's a soul problem, Xue Gui's cultivation is not bad. After calming down, he can barely find the "stain" on the soul, and then shake the soul to remove it. It's not difficult at all. It's just that Xue Gui wouldn't swallow it like this.
It was agreed that it would be a co-investigation, so after the news was told to Xue Gui, even if the case was started, the subsequent investigation would depend on the capabilities of the people in the Criminal Department. Shen Hao also said goodbye with a smile and returned to Jingxi Town Fushi Yamen. It happened to be a time difference and he met Jiang Cheng, who had just arrived at the public house.
Jiang Cheng sat down and watched the attentive Shen Hao make tea for him. He said happily: "You came to me so early. Could it be that you encountered some difficult problems in the case? Tell me and see if I can help you think about it." Find a way."
From Jiang Cheng's point of view, only one day had passed. Even if Shen Hao had the ability, he would not be able to push the case forward. He must have encountered some trouble.
However, Shen Hao said: "Thank you for your kindness, sir. There is no trouble for me. The main thing is that there has been some progress in the case, so I came to report to you. At the same time, I also want to ask you to ask for a warrant to go to the library and docket of the Commanding Envoy Yamen to check some thing."
"What? Progress has been made so soon?" Jiang Cheng's hand holding the tea trembled. I'm surprised that so many experts have been investigating for so long without making any progress. How can Shen Hao make a breakthrough as soon as he comes back?
"Yes, sir, the case was mainly difficult at the beginning. I was lucky enough to find a "thread" as soon as I came back. Then I followed the thread and I actually touched something, so it can be considered as progress. I have already made progress before coming to your side. Explain it clearly to Xue Gui of the Major Case Department of the Criminal Department, and then it will depend on their capabilities in the Criminal Department."
