Chapter 697 One Word

Shen Hao questioned the jailer and warden of the Ministry of Punishment prison one by one in the classroom. There are eight in total, and they have been guarding them since King Qian came in, but there are shifts.

To be honest, the condition of these people is much better than what Shen Hao thought. At first, he thought that after such a long period of detention, even if these people did not die, they would have shed a layer of skin, but now these people don't have many scars on their bodies except for some lack of energy. Xue Gui didn't bat an eyelid.

It seems that the Ministry of Criminal Justice has softened its heart towards these criminals.

Shen Hao didn't even come up, so he used torture to interrogate him. This is the Ministry of Punishment, and many things still have to abide by the rules of other people's side. It should be that Xue Gui felt that these people were still colleagues in the Ministry of Punishment, and they were indeed only implicated in Chi Yu, so they didn't use any cruel methods. But the corresponding drugs should not be used less, otherwise the spirits of these people would not be so bad.

After a round of questioning, the answers obtained in the dossier were basically the same. Many questions these people have answered no less than ten times. I was flustered, but dared not answer.

Li Qing continued to snort coldly in her heart, she thought that this man surnamed Shen could have some clever tricks, but now it seemed like this, she thought she could have some means to break the situation.

Compared to Li Qing's disapproval, Xue Gui was obviously calmer, and sat on the side without saying a word, watching Shen Hao's actions, knowing that even if Shen Hao had any new ideas, he would not be able to see them for a while. .

When Xue Gui thought that he had finished all the questions, Shen Hao did not end the questioning, and continued to ask more and more strange questions.

"When does King Qian usually get up and go to sleep in the cell?"

"When does King Qian eat every meal?"

"Will the quilt be folded and tidied up by King Qian every time I get up? Or is it scattered on the bed?"

"Generally speaking, how long can you drink a pot of Baiguo wine?"

No one had asked these questions before, and the few people kneeling on the ground also became more energetic, because they no longer had to answer repeatedly but needed to recall them separately, so their eyes were a little brighter.

On the other hand, Li Qing had a slight sneer on her face, but she didn't laugh out loud. In her opinion, the surname Shen was putting on airs. Why ask these insignificant things?

But Xue Gui took a deep look at Shen Hao and continued to sit beside him quietly without saying a word.

Shen Hao's face remained unchanged, and after these people answered his question, he nodded and let the people from the Criminal Department take these guys back to the cell for custody.

"What's the matter, Mr. Shen, seems to have gained something?"

Shen Hao nodded, and said with a smile: "There are some. But it's not sure yet, I need to ask the person in charge of the Qianwang's daily life in the Qianwang's mansion."

Xue Gui was impatient to wait for Shen Hao to figure out the situation slowly before reporting the situation to him, so he said in a deep voice: "Master Shen, I just said that this matter is mainly based on the Major Case Division of our Ministry of Criminal Justice, with Xuan Qingwei as the assistant. What? Have you found something and you still want to hide it and not plan to say it?"

Shen Hao really didn't mean that, on the contrary, the reason why he didn't say it was indeed because there was still little supporting evidence. But now that Xue Gui has talked about this, he can no longer keep his mouth shut.

"Master Xue, have you read that book carefully?"

"I've seen it. The story about a ferocious beast on the Baijiang River is quite exciting. But I didn't find any problems. What's the matter? Master Shen, do you think there's anything wrong?"

"Well, I feel something is wrong. The words on the nineteenth page of that book seem to give people a soul tingling feeling, 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. Could it be that the clues they are looking for are really in front of them, but they have been ignored all the time?

Without waiting for Shen Hao to say anything, Xue Gui turned around and left the classroom, went straight back to the cell where King Qian was imprisoned, then picked up the book on the table and turned to page nineteen, he just read The first three lines reminded me of the content of this page. It was a transitional chapter, and there was nothing exciting about it. He remembered that he didn’t pay much attention when he was flipping through this page, but just scanned it. Just turned over.

Hearing Shen Hao's words now, Xue Gui naturally looked through the words word by word carefully, but he still didn't find any clues.

Is the one named Shen lying?

Shaking his head, he didn't believe that Shen Hao dared to use this kind of thing as a perfunctory, so he started to read again. When Xue Gui saw it for the fifth time, his eyes suddenly had a different feeling when he scanned a word on this page.

That is a "curse" word.

The original words in the book are: Why are you so talkative? Chattering is as annoying as chanting.

Xue Gui had read the seemingly innocuous sentence several times before, but this time, the word "curse" was like a thorn, which made his heart suddenly twitch inexplicably, and immediately felt a real stabbing pain in his soul. flashed by.

It was very slight, very slight, even if Xue Gui hadn't been highly concentrated and Shen Hao had reminded him in advance, it would be impossible for him to notice this slight "sting". Moreover, it is difficult to feel it carefully after discovering it now, and it is easy to ignore the inexplicable feeling if you do not fully concentrate on the perception.

How to describe it? It's like catching a loach in the water.

It's just a story book, and generally speaking, it's enough to simply flip through a few pages. If you flip through it carefully like Xue Gui, you're serious about treating the evidence at the scene of the crime. It is simply impossible to watch it five or six times like just now under normal circumstances.

"No wonder I didn't notice it before. This is the real darkness under the lights!"

After thinking about it, Xue Gui was curious again, how did Shen Hao 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 the former commander of Xuan Qingwei? Why didn't others find out, but Shen Hao found out right away?

No, Shen Hao didn't discover it all at once, it seems that the surname Shen also tried several times?

Recalling Shen Hao's strange behavior in the cell before, it seems that everything can be explained now. In addition, the word "curse" can make the soul feel a tingling pain. Does it mean that their previous judgment on the cause of King Qian's death was correct? Qian Wang died of some kind of soul method?

Thinking that Xue Gui couldn't help but cheer up here, it really is another village, and I didn't expect that the surname Shen could really find the thread!

"Let's go to the yamen's document library!" Xue Gui put down the book in his hand, and then greeted Li Qing to leave the prison. Before leaving, he also ordered the guards to increase the defense of the special prison area. No one is allowed to enter unless there is a warrant.
