Demon detective

Chapter 178
In addition to in-depth analysis of the case, Xu Zhen is also considering his own situation.

Currently, Shen Yu and Qin Yin who are traveling with him are waiting at the inn, and Jia Ding is also waiting for Xu Zhen's order at the designated place.

However, judging from the current situation, Xu Zhen cannot contact them for the time being.

After all, Dongfang Meiyan still has doubts about Xu Zhen's identity. It would be inappropriate to meet Shen Yu and others rashly at this time.

Because Dongfang Meiyan doubts Xu Zhen, doesn't Xu Zhen doubt Dongfang Meiyan?

Although I don't quite understand the case-handling rules of the God Detective Division, since it is such an important case to investigate, why only send a female arrester?

Is this the audacity of a high-level artist, or is he hiding some ulterior secret?

In case... this woman is also one of the four forces, it is obviously not wise for him to reveal the truth too early.

Of course, Xu Zhen naturally didn't want Dongfang Meiyan to have any problems, because this woman was a bit formidable, and the unique martial arts she showed before seemed to be on a par with Li Chan'er.

Once this person stands on the opposite side, he will definitely be a huge threat...

……

At dawn the next day, Xu Zhen came to Sima Xin's place early.

Sima Xin took Xu Zhen into the back room, but found that Dongfang Meiyan did not appear, and there were only the two of them in the room.

"This guy's fate is very hard, and he is very lucky," Sima Xin said in a low voice, pointing to a room further inside, "If we hadn't found the secret room in time, even if it was an hour or two at night, he would have completely Hopeless."

"Then..." Xu Zhen hurriedly asked, "Is he awake?"

Sima Xin shook his head helplessly: "Listen, I have found the most reliable doctor and am treating him inside. He has more than 100 wounds all over his body, and you can see the laceration on his back.

"But the most serious thing is not these. According to what the doctor said, Fang Wubing should have been drugged with some kind of ecstasy drug. This ecstasy drug itself contains toxins. It is uncertain whether he will be able to wake up in the future."

"Ecstasy?"

The first thing Xu Zhen thought of was the veritaserum from his previous life. Veritaserum is a hallucinogenic drug. If you give a certain dose, you can make people obey their words and answer every question.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhen hurriedly asked:

"Lao Li gave him this medicine, is it for interrogation?"

"Should it be?" Sima Xin said helplessly, "When the Eastern God Catcher arrives later, why don't you ask her? I've only heard of this kind of thing, but I've never seen it.

"But you should be right. The cook named Lao Li probably wants to use this ecstasy to get Fang Wubing to tell his secret."

Oh……

Xu Zhen seemed to understand something, Lao Li and others did not take Fang Wubing out of the prison, but wanted to get him to the secret room.

Maybe it's because Fang Wubing is not easy to deal with?

Think about it, they can only coerce Fang to escape from prison in the middle of the night, and the city gate is closed in the middle of the night, so they cannot leave the city.

And once Fang Wubing escapes from prison, martial law will be imposed in the city, and the whole city will be searched and arrested. In addition, Fang Wubing is not easy to control, so it will be even more dangerous, right?
That's why they use such unexpected tactics.

It's a pity that they missed the move in the end, underestimating Fang Wubing's willpower, and Fang Wubing fought back and killed him.

Just by seeing the scene, one can imagine how tragic the anti-killing was at that time!
"Xu Zhen, you said..." Sima Xin frowned, and said, "Lao Li and his gang have carefully planned for so long, so this ecstasy must have been tested repeatedly, right?"

"That's right." Actually, Xu Zhen already knew what Sima Xin was going to say later, but he still asked, "What do you mean, my lord?"

"I was wondering..." Sima Xin said with gestures, "Could the blood letter Fang Wubing left on the ground... be the answer that Lao Li and the others want to know?"

"Oh?" Xu Zhen suddenly remembered the word "Ji" on the ground.

Indeed, Xu Zhen felt the same way.

It is conceivable that Lao Li's interrogation of Fang Wubing in the secret room is inevitable, so he used ecstasy medicine on Fang Wubing as soon as he came up, hoping to make Fang Wubing tell the secret.

But Fang Wubing's willpower far surpassed that of ordinary people, and he carried it for several days without saying a word.

Lao Li became more and more anxious, constantly using torture and pressure, and at the same time increasing the dose of ecstasy.

Finally, Fang Wubing felt that he was going to be unable to hold on, so he fought desperately, and died together with Lao Li.

However, after killing Lao Li, he could no longer bear the effect of the ecstasy, so he left the word "Ji" on the ground.

Therefore, the word "Ji" is very important. If the mystery can be understood, perhaps the case can be solved easily.

But... just a word, how difficult is it?
Gee...

Xu Zhen smacked his lips, thinking of yesterday's survey site, he also seemed to see a blurred blood stain in front of the word "Ji".

Now that I think about it, it is likely that there is a word or a few words before the word "Ji".

I just don't know if Fang Wubing knocked it off when he passed out, or Dongfang Meiyan accidentally erased it when Fang Wubing flipped it, or... Dongfang Meiyan...

No way?
Xu Zhen felt like he was in a cold sweat. He remembered that when the corpse was turned over, Dongfang Meiyan was the first to discover the blood.

So... what if she sees the complete words written in blood, and then deliberately erases the previous words?

Another point.

Xu Zhen clearly remembered that the character "Ji" left by Fang Wubing was complete, that is to say, there should be no content after the word "Ji".

What Fang Wubing left behind was definitely a complete piece of information.

So... what is the word in front of it?

Xu Zhen tried his best to recall, and tried to find clues through "The Way of the Demon", but in "The Way of the Demon", there seems to be no record about the word "Ji".

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Dongfang Meiyan entered the room without a sound.

This……

Xu Zhen and Sima Xin raised their hands to say hello, but when they saw Dongfang Meiyan's appearance, they were all stunned.

But seeing Dongfang Meiyan changed into a dark blue satin gown and wearing a scarf, she turned out to be a standard scholar's attire!

It's just that this scholar is wearing heavy makeup, which is a bit too glamorous!

"Catcher of the East," Xu Zhen asked with wide-eyed eyes, "Are you...a woman disguised as a man?"

"..." Sima Xin didn't dare to speak, and quickly lowered his head.

"Little enemy," Dongfang Meiyan scolded, "I told you I'm sister Meiyan!"

"..." Xu Zhen was speechless.

"..." Sima Xin was like an ostrich, almost stuck his head in the floor tiles.

"Last night, I checked it out," Dongfang Meiyan opened the folding fan in her hand, and said with a smile, "After lunch at noon today, my little enemy will go to the Demon Tower with me!"

"What?" Xu Zhen grinned, "Demon Tower?"

While talking, Xu Zhenxin had many scenes from "Journey to the West".

"Demon Tower?" Sima Xin said awkwardly, "There...women are not accepted there."

"So," Dongfang Meiyan pointed to the place under her nose, "Someone will deliver my beard at noon."

beard……

The meaning of Dongfang Meiyan is obviously to disguise a woman as a man.

"Wait," Xu Zhen asked hurriedly, "Where is the demon building? Why do you want to go there?"

"No way?" Dongfang Meiyan was surprised, "You don't even know the place with the most beauties in Daguan City? Don't pretend to be innocent in front of your sister!"

"..." Xu Zhen was speechless and covered his face...
