Chapter 233 Under the Horse Lamp, Evil Monster
Leng Xuanrong was really scared. She desperately wanted to escape, but the scene in front of her did not disappear. The blood stains on the ground gradually dispersed, and the two evil people around him disappeared. A group of people in shackles walked slowly, and suddenly a figure rushed up and waved a ghost knife to cut those people. Those people seemed to be shouting desperately, but Leng Xuanrong could not hear their voices. Blood splashed everywhere, and warm blood splashed on Leng Xuanrong, and she actually had a familiar feeling.
Leng Xuanrong looked down at her hands. Sure enough, her hands were stained with blood.
What on earth did you do? Why are your hands covered with blood?
Looking up again, the scene in front of Leng Xuanrong became a little dim again. Here... seemed to be his old house.
A thin figure lay there. There was no need to look. Leng Xuanrong knew that it was his dead father.
Yes, my father died, and my father was killed by those people. The person who killed my father also killed Brother Yan Liang... Brother Yan Liang... By the way, the eldest son just said that he would take me to Brother Yan Liang... Did he go to hell? Ah, am I going to die?
It turns out... Is this what the old saying says, the horse lantern before death... But it's still wrong, what's wrong...
Brother Yan Liang, I don't know if he will wait for me at the bridge. I don't know if he has drunk Meng Po soup and has forgotten me.
When he came to his senses again, Leng Xuanrong saw the sea of people again.
The court, this is the court. If it is really a horse lantern, what should appear now is probably what Brother Yan Liang looked like on his deathbed. Let me take a look at Brother Yan Liang again, and God is very kind to me.
Wait for Leng Xuanrong to look around, but did not find the figure of Brother Yan Liang.
Everyone's eyes are focused on her, just like... as if she is the one to be be beheaded...
The stomach still hurts so much, and the figures in the distance have become blurred. The big man beside him seems to be grinding his big knife, but Leng Xuanrong can't hear the sound of sharpening the knife. There is a soft whisper in his ear, calling, "Xuanrong...Xuanrong..."
Who?
Leng Xuanrong seemed to fall into infinite darkness again, and it was still so cold around, only a little temperature came from the palm of her hand. Such a temperature makes Leng Xuanrong feel that she is not dead, at least not dead.
Maybe it's just a dream, maybe it's just a ghost bed...
The stomachache is a little unbearable. How can leftovers have such power? It's like eating some intestinal poison...
Poison...
This word appeared in Leng Xuanrong's mind, just like a candlelight, which seemed to illuminate something...
On the round table, the candlelight swayed.
The three people sitting around the table are calm.
Dou Haowei has just told Du Yilin and Dou Yandong the news that the third sister came to convey. As expected, both of them fell into meditation after hearing these words.
I don't know how long it took before Dou Yandong sneered and said, "This Wei family is actually not a wall grass. After the Empress Yan Ling was favored, it was inevitable for them to make such a choice." Speaking of this, Dou Yandong looked at Du Yilin and said, "What do you think?"
Du Yilin said in a low voice, "Although Wei Yulin is in charge of the Military Affairs Department, he has now been overshadowed by An Longyi. Most of his men have defected to An Longyi, and he should know that he will not get any benefits if he wants to join An Longyi."
Dou Yandong nodded and then said to Dou Haowei, "In this case, Haowei, you will go to the criminal department tomorrow and follow the method said by the three girls, and you will come forward to check the Guide Building. Presumably the chief of torture, Hu Qizhang, won't refute your face.
Dou Haowei responded to this and went to the criminal department early the next morning.
Hu Qizhang was so smart that as soon as Dou Haowei said his intention, Hu Qizhang nodded and agreed. In fact, Hu Qizhang didn't want to check the Guide Building by himself. He just tried his best to push the responsibility for this matter away from himself. Now Dou Haowei, the young master of the imperial palace, has come forward, and Hu Qizhang is happy to retreat. What's more, people like Dou Haowei will never come forward for no reason. People with discerning eyes can see that this must be Wei Yulin secretly thought of a way. Hu Qizhang also heard about the matter of Yan Ling's mother returning home to save her marriage, and a little thought about it also inferred the hidden truth.
In a word, Hu Qizhang told Dou Haowei that he would investigate other aspects as soon as possible, and Guidelou gave full power to Dou Haowei who knew the details.
After leaving the Criminal Division, Dou Haowei went to Wei Mansion on a special basis. Although Dou Haowei had no official position, he could pass through the official eunuchs alone with his face and name. He arrived at Wei's house and received a warm reception. During the banquet, Wei Yulin made a promise that the matter of Guidelou was completely hidden from Dou Haowei. As long as he could find the real murderer, the Wei family would cooperate fully.
With the instructions from both sides, Dou Haowei's work went extremely smoothly.
Guidelou stopped treating guests the day after the incident. Those who were captured by the criminal division have not been released. Now the second shopkeeper is in charge of Guidelou.
Because he was entrusted by the owner, the second shopkeeper knew everything about Dou Haowei, and Dou Haowei also learned a lot of things from him that he had never thought of before.
"Our business in Guide Building is big. It is impossible to say that the people who go in and out every day are well-known, but there are actually only a few people who can serve in the back yard." The second shopkeeper finally sighed, "Those people have been captured by the criminal department now, and now their families still have to come to Guidelou to ask for people..." The second shopkeeper sighed and said to Dou Haowei, "Young Master Dou, you are a smart person. You can see the truth in this and make such a thing. We people who work in Guide Lou are all They are all implicated. Look at the meaning of the owner. This Guide Building can't be opened any longer. We have lost our jobs... How can those of us who live on the wages given by Guide Building do such a thing? Young master, be merciful. Hurry up and find the poisoned murderer.
Dou Haowei also sighed when he heard the words. Indeed, as the second shopkeeper said, there are mostly old and young people here. If they poison others, they will not only lose their lives, but also their families may be in danger, so nine out of ten are not them.
"I want to check the people who went in and out of Guide Building that night... all the people who came in and out, including the guests."
Hearing Dou Haowei's words, the second shopkeeper immediately showed an embarrassed expression, "Young master, to be honest, someone has asked before. What we replied is actually the truth. This Guide Building is so big, and there are familiar faces in and out. We are just a restaurant, a place to eat, and it is impossible to write down. There are guests. We still remember the distinguished guests, but we can't ask about the attendants of the distinguished guests and the guests invited, and we can't ask the guests who you invited? ...To put it bluntly, at the beginning, our employer didn't want the criminal division to investigate, isn't it just because of this..."
When Dou Haowei heard this, it was indeed the same truth. But he thought about it again and suddenly felt something was wrong.
"Second shopkeeper, did you think someone had asked you before?"
The second shopkeeper nodded and said, "The criminal division has asked twice, and their light cavalry captain and the agent handling the case have come to ask respectively."
Dou Haowei nodded when he heard the words. If the criminal department came to ask, it was normal.
After working all day, Dou Haowei got nothing in looking for the poisoner. Back in the royal palace, I heard from the fifth uncle Dou Yandong say that the investigation of the criminal department also seemed to have fallen into a state of stagnation. There was no problem with the testimony given by the captured Guidelou clerks, but if it was inferred from their testimony, the person who served Leng Xuanrong at that time actually did not exist.
"These people say that the time events are all right, that is, from a certain point, there is a person who doesn't know who it is out of thin air. This person wanders openly among the crowd, but there is no one who doesn't even find anything wrong." Dou Yandong repeated the words of Chief Justice Si Hu Qizhang, "If you want to find this person, there is no clue now. Of course, it can't be ruled out that the people of Guide Building have already made confessions... Although the Criminal Division arrested them and detained them separately..."
Dou Haowei frowned and looked at Dou Yandong and asked, "Uncle, do you have a clue now?"
Dou Yandong smiled and said casually, "Lord Hu also asked me that. There is only one answer I gave him. Since no one has found it but it really exists, this poisoned person may not be a human at all. Either a ghost who is good at hiding his body, or a monster who can transform into a new face.
"Five Uncle!" Dou Haowei's face showed anger and said, "Now is not the time to joke. What evil spirits and monsters, it is clear that someone has used some superb methods to deceive our eyes!"
"Super technique..." Dou Yandong shook his head with a smile. He paused and asked Dou Haowei softly, "Have you seen Xuanrong's girl?" Hasn't she woken up yet?"
Dou Haowei lowered his head and sighed and said, "I have sent someone to send a letter to Dr. Yan. I asked him to come back tomorrow to treat Miss Xuanrong. Five days will pass in a blink of an eye, but Xuan Rong still shows no sign of waking up. If she doesn't wake up, I'm afraid that Mr. Zeng Yanliang will fall down..."
Dou Yandong nodded when he heard the words, then got up and left the room and walked slowly towards where he lived.
Through a corridor, suddenly the figure flashed in front of him. A man wrapped in black thick cloth appeared in front of Dou Yandong, and Dou Yandong still walked forward as if he hadn't seen him.
