Chapter 709: Evil Gate

A man named "Snake"?

Just the sound of the name alone makes it almost certain that this is a pseudonym used as a code name. It means that the person who murdered the king arranged the killing situation through this "snake"?

Shen Hao had to swallow the words that came to his lips, he could hear that Xue Gui was very proud of his words, and he only spoke halfway, so there must be something to gain later, otherwise he would not be so excited.

Sure enough, Xue Gui paused, grabbed the teacup on the table and poured another big cup before continuing: "I found some portrait masters, and drew a few portraits according to the descriptions of those two people. Then I repaired it comprehensively, and you see, this is the person.”

Xue Gui took out a portrait from the storage bag and handed it to Shen Hao.

The portrait Xue Gui got was not as realistic as the one in Xuanqingwei, it was a bit illusory, but he could probably see the general appearance and characteristics of a person clearly. It seems that the above "snake" should be in his forties, thin, with dark eyes. There is a prominent mole at the corner of the left eye.

"This person is the "snake". I have asked the staff of the major case department to record the appearance of this person and search for him in the imperial city. I believe there will be news soon."

"Imperial City?" Shen Hao couldn't help asking: "Are you sure this person will still stay in the Imperial City?"

"Hehe, it doesn't matter whether he stays or not, as long as someone has seen this person. Whether it's an inn, a car dealership, or even a street peddler, someone will always see him. Now it's just a matter of time."

Xue Gui is confident, but Shen Hao is not very optimistic about it. Because in his opinion, such a big case as secretly assassinating a prince would take less than half a year to prepare, and all details would be thoughtful, and in the end, luck would be needed to help it succeed.

Now with just a few tiny clues, it is possible to dig out a key person in charge of arranging this murderous situation?

Shen Hao thought for a while, and asked tentatively: "What's the situation of the two people who were caught? Why are they willing to help others as pawns and participate in the murder of the prince? Where do they have the courage?"

"What else could be the reason? Desire is just a mischief. This "snake" gave them a kind of evil thing, so that they can barely step from ordinary people to the threshold of monks. How tempting is it? Don't talk about killing the prince, they can probably do even bigger things."

"Can ordinary people step into the threshold of monks?! What?" Shen Hao was taken aback when he heard that, he didn't expect such unexpected news in the matter.

Speaking of this, the smile in Xue Gui's eyes also subsided, and he said in a dark voice: "That's right, it's a kind of pill called Breaking Barrier Pill. After taking it, you can indeed increase your talent out of thin air. Ordinary people with the worst talent can also slowly improve their talent after taking it until they reach the minimum talent limit for cultivation."

Xue Gui didn't need to explain, just hearing the three words "Breaking Barrier Pill", a long string of messages popped out of Shen Hao's heart immediately. When investigating the large-scale smuggling case that led to the Jingxi operation, Ma Sankui was captured, and when he was forced to find out his identity, he knew about the "Barrier Breaking Pill", and now in Xuan Qingwei's case, the Breaking Barrier Pill is a fake evil door Representatives of monks are on high alert.

At the same time, the three words "Breaking Barrier Pill" did explain why a hunter and a bookstore worker dared to commit such a heinous crime.

Although Shen Hao couldn't experience it personally, he could guess the yearning that ordinary people have for a powerful monk. Usually, because of the natural barrier of talent, I may have more than enough energy but not enough energy, and I am willing to be mediocre, running around in the market to survive, and living a short life of several decades in an ordinary way. But if there is something like the Breaking Barrier Pill that can "change fate against the sky", can ordinary people stabilize their minds and avoid temptation?

It's hard! And it will make you stupidly ignore the price behind "changing your fate against the sky".

Of course, Xue Gui is not clear about the connection between the Breaking Barrier Pill and the pseudo-evil cultivator. These are the top secrets within Xuan Qingwei, and the Criminal Department has not been informed, so Xue Gui thought that Shen Hao's silence was because he was so shocked that he lost his words.

Shen Hao asked: "Is there any capture of the barrier-breaking pill?"

"No. Those two people said that every time they were given the barrier-breaking pill, they had to swallow it on the spot and couldn't take it away. I checked the physical condition of the two people, and it was very strange, especially the soul showed a very vain feeling. The state is like being forced out of the strong, and even the meridians and organs also have a sense of overdrawn emptiness. It can be judged that these situations must be the hidden dangers brought by the so-called Breaking Barrier Pill.

Tsk tsk, you guys at Xuanqingwei should know more about this kind of evil stuff than we do, do you have a point? "

Xue Gui didn't just arrest people and pass the trial, he also went around the case file room of the Ministry of Punishment, but there was no record of the so-called Breaking Barrier Pill from the Ministry of Punishment. In addition, the Ministry of Punishment has limited information on the monk level, so from the very beginning, he paid attention to getting some news from Shen Hao, at least he could get some information, right?

Shen Hao considered his words for a while, and said: "Master Xue can send a note to the Commander's Yamen. If the Commander's Yamen agrees, I will reply to you here."

Xue Gui's eyes flashed a gleam upon hearing this. Shen Hao's words were very clear, and he almost didn't say clearly: Xuan Qingwei knows about the Breaking Barrier Pill, but I can't just tell you that it's a secret. You have to send a note to the commander's yamen, and the commander agreed. I can tell you.

In other words, from Xue Gui's point of view, Breaking the Barrier Dan has become a clue to the case that can be extended!

"Okay, then I'll send a note to the commander's yamen, just wait a moment." Xue Gui did not delay, took out an empty copper bar from the cabinet next to it, and began to write on it, and then stamped it. Those who signed the order were immediately sent to the Commander's Yamen, and a "urgent" sign was hung.

Shen Hao waited for the note to be sent away before he began to tell Xue Gui the information he had found in the library and file warehouse of the Commander's Office, and also told Xue Gui his inferences about the information.

"You mean that King Qian may have died at the hands of an evil cultivator who used "melting spells into words"?" Xue Gui's first reaction was exactly the same as that of Jiang Cheng before. At the same time, there was another touch in his heart, and that was the Breaking Barrier Pill that he found out by himself. If combined with these news from Shen Hao, it seems that an evil thing like the Breaking Barrier Pill might really hook up with evil monks.

Half an hour later, after waiting for the commander's permission, Shen Hao told Xue Gui about the situation of the Breaking Barrier Pill known in Xuanqing Guard, and Xue Gui was sure of his inner judgment: the death of King Qian There is no shadow of the evil monk!
