Chapter 699 Clues

Unlike what he had already obtained, Xue Gui who hurried to the case file room of the Ministry of Criminal Justice did not find what he wanted.

The sky was already getting dark, Xue Gui's eyes were reddish, he raised his head from a pile of papers, his eyes were visibly irritable.

"Why not?"

The file room of the Ministry of Criminal Justice is similar to the file room in the yamen of Commander Xuan Qingwei. Although the emphasis is different, the information accumulated over the years is also varied and massive. There are also a lot of secrets about practice, even the types and analysis of spells of various sects, the main schools of casual practice, and so on.

However, Xue Gui hit a wall this time. He stayed up all night, looked through hundreds of copybooks, and consulted almost all the information about soul spells, but none of them was about the method of "words refracted into souls" Weird means.

"What should I do?" I finally saw the "thread end" but found that it couldn't be pulled, which made me very angry. I wanted to directly use this weird method to determine the identity of the murderer behind it, but now it seems that it is not possible for the time being. Maybe let the masters who hide from the world in Fenghong Villa or Xuanqingwei see if they know this method?

Li Qing was also helping to search, her eyes were redder than Xue Gui's, and she couldn't find any clues in the documents.

"Okay. Let's take a break. I've gone through the main content, and you won't be able to find it no matter how many times you go through it. Maybe our criminal records are missing in that respect. I don't know if Xuanqingwei and Fenghong Villa can I can't help you." Xue Gui made Li Qing stop.

"Then shall we go to Xuanqingwei Commander's Yamen now?"

"Don't worry, go there when you are on business, otherwise we won't be able to get in there."

"Where is Fenghong Villa? Let us go?"

Xue Gui also frowned. Indeed, Xuan Qingwei is now the assisted investigation department, and should help open some file rooms for them to investigate. But Fenghong Villa is hard to say. The attitude of the other party was very tough before, saying that they would not participate in the normal affairs of the Ministry of Punishment. This made Xue Gui understand that there was an obvious meaning of staying out of the matter. I'm afraid Fenghong Villa won't help this time.

"Go to Xuanqingwei first and ask, Fenghong Villa is in the back. Let's go, get something to eat and work." Xue Gui got up, led Li Qing out of the case file room, and abducted to the dining hall of the Criminal Department.

Because there are people on duty at twelve o'clock every day in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, so there are cooks waiting in the dining hall at twelve o'clock, which is much better than Xuan Qingwei. Xuan Qingwei has three meals a day, and the door of the dining hall will not open the rest of the time. It's open.

Xue Gui's appetite is not large, similar to that of ordinary people, and his taste is light, and he spends more time as a vegetarian. And Li Qing, despite being a woman, has a much bigger appetite than Xue Gui, especially because she didn't sleep all night last night and consumed a lot. She was already eating the fifth meatloaf for breakfast, the kind that weighs one or two pounds.

"By the way, where is Shen Hao? Where did he go after that?" Xue Gui also remembered that there was another person surnamed Shen who was running around in the case, and now he didn't see anyone, so he turned to ask Li Qing.

Li Qing went out a few times before, just to listen to the reports from the people below. So he replied to Xue Gui while eating: "Shortly after we left the prison, the surname Shen also left, but he didn't go back to Xuanqingwei's residence, but went to Qianwangfu. Then he returned to Xuanqingwei's residence at about the end of Haishi. "

"Going to Qianwang's Mansion? Is this going to follow the line of the storybook? It's also a way. But there are too many uncertainties, we can also follow, but the focus is still on finding out the door. The origin of the method. Do you understand?"

"This subordinate understands! Later this subordinate will ask someone to find out about the origin of the script, at least follow that Shen, lest he play tricks again." A big loss is still brooding, and she doesn't like the surname Shen no matter what.

Xue Gui nodded and didn't make a sound, which was a tacit agreement. No one could see the expression on his face under the mask.

But what was unexpected was that just after Xue Gui came out of the dining hall after eating, a yamen servant came to report to Xue Gui that a deputy Qianhu from Xuanqingwei surnamed Shen was looking for Xue Gui.

"Shen Hao? Why is he here so early?"

I was puzzled, but Xue Gui still couldn't see me, so I went back to the office first and wrote a note to Li Qing, asking the other party to take the note to Xuanqingwei to check the case files, while he himself stayed to meet Shen Hao and listen to what thing.

"Master Xue."

"Master Shen, sit down."

The two sat down, their eyes met, without the sharpness of yesterday, they seemed to have some words.

It was Shen Hao who opened the mouth first. After all, he is an assistant investigator, and this case is not comparable to other cases. If you don't get credit, you don't get credit, so as soon as you get something, he will come to tell Xue Gui first, so that Xue Gui can stand up better. ahead.

"Master Xue, last night I went to Prince Qian's Mansion, and asked the people in the mansion about some things about King Qian's life. I found some things interesting, so I hurried to tell Lord Xue about them."

"Oh? Master Shen, what do you gain?"

"Qianwang should be a prince with a very regular and self-disciplined life. He can fold the quilt by himself, plan his daily schedule and things, he is busy and has leisure. Reading scripts and drinking mince wine is the life of Qianwang. The one part of the law is also the two things of the hobby.

Mr. Xue must have known the thorn in the previous book "Baijiang Evil Beast", right? A "curse" word, but this word alone is definitely not enough to kill the king. Otherwise, wouldn't everyone who read that book, including me, be damned? "

Speaking of this, Xue Gui sat up straight, and he knew that Shen Hao had hit the point. Indeed, if King Qian was killed by the word "curse" in the book, why didn't the person who turned the book later die? Even if Shen Hao hadn't reminded them, they wouldn't even be able to discover this weirdness in the book.

Then I heard Shen Hao continue to say: "So I think that the word "curse" in "The Beast of the White River" should not be a spell alone, but there are other words that cooperate or form a complete spell. When King Qian saw the word "curse" in "The Beast of the White River", he exploded and killed King Qian instantly."

"You mean that there are problems with the books that King Qian read before?!"

Shen Hao nodded: "That's right. Add special techniques in the book in a coherent way, let Qian Wang, a person who has engraved the rules of life and hobbies in his bones, into the set himself, and finally choose the most suitable opportunity One hit kill."

"Where are those books?!" Xue Gui couldn't sit still. He found that following Shen Hao's clue seemed to be very interesting.

"I already asked the people in Qianwang's mansion yesterday, because although the story book is a way to pass the time, it has no connotation, and there are very few famous authors. Unlike ordinary works, the collection value is extremely low. So after reading it, unless the king I like it very much, otherwise it will be directly classified into the pile of waste books.

Unfortunately, at noon on the day when King Qian was killed, that is, half a day before King Qian's death, someone who collected old books came to the door and took away the scriptures in Prince Qian's mansion. "
