65 Suicide?
"I want to see the body, but I don't know if it's possible." Ye Yong didn't have much idea. He simply thought that this was a bit like the secret room murder in the mystery drama. Although the suspicious places had already been searched by those powerful gods, It was impossible for him, a little stone monk, to find any new clues, but that didn't stop him from trying to become a detective.
"Of course it's no problem." Ye Wen nodded in agreement. After all, the elder of the Blood Flame Sect has been cold for a long time. Zhou Suren and the others have checked everything they should check, and there is nothing special. In case his Yong'er has a keen eye and can see others. What about the things that are not available?
"Call Shi Meng." An unknown dangerous person appeared in the palace, and Ye Yong felt that it would be safer to take the heroine with him.
Back in the house, Qin Shimeng's clothes were neatly dressed, as if nothing had happened. She was sitting on a chair reading the sword skills. When Ye Wen came in, she said hello to him.
Ye Yong told the story about the killing of the elder of the Blood Flame Sect, and Qin Shimeng was very surprised after hearing this.
Breaking into the secret prison of the Great Zhou Dynasty, hacking the prisoners so many times and causing them to bleed to death. It was obvious that the murderer was very confident in his actions, and was undoubtedly provoking the authority of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Qin Shimeng was very curious, so he followed Ye Yong and others to the secret prison of the Zhou Dynasty.
The secret prison can be said to be the second heavily guarded place besides the royal treasury. There are many restrictions set up. Not to mention outsiders trying to enter, even the prince has to obtain His Majesty's permission to enter.
Although Ye Wen has a special status and is His Majesty's best friend, and he also captured the elder of the Demon Sect, according to the procedures, the guards must obtain His Majesty's consent. Ye Wen was not displeased when he was stopped. He just threw the sound transmission stone to the guard captain. When the captain heard that it was the emperor's voice, he immediately let him go.
According to the TV series Ye Yong has watched, secret cells are usually very dark, with the sound of dripping water and the sound of mice coming from time to time, and a rotten smell. But it's different here, the lights are bright, and the construction materials, whether in the corridors or cells, are very high-end.
The cell is transparent from the outside and can clearly see what's inside, but nothing can be seen from the inside.
Ye Yong is a time traveler, not a reborn person. He knows the script and many strange items, but they are all written descriptions. If he has never seen the real thing with his own eyes, he has never seen it before. He can't help but marvel at it.
The immortal version of the advanced black technology one-way mirror.
There are four dedicated guards beside each cell, as well as guards patrolling the corridors. With so many mobile cameras, you can clearly see even a mosquito flying in. The elder of the Blood Flame Sect, Mei Renxing, was actually killed in such an ironic way under such circumstances. It was indeed a slap in the face of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Mei Renxing was deep in the prison, and the guards who led the way took Ye Yong and the others to their destination, saluted, and then stood aside to answer questions at any time.
As soon as Ye Yong entered the cell, he smelled the strong smell of blood.
When a cultivator examines a corpse, he does not need to touch it with his own hands. He only needs to use his spiritual thoughts to see through the body inside and out, and it also has its own anatomical effect.
Ye Yong did the same thing. The first time he looked inside his meridians, he felt like vomiting. Since practicing, he has looked inside several times and now he is used to it.
The clothes worn by monks have the ability to prevent the penetration of spiritual thoughts. Otherwise, the female monks would not have to go out.
Mei Renxing had long since changed into ordinary mortal prison uniforms, and his hands and feet were bound by black iron chains. He was sitting in the corner, his face was as white as paper, and blood was flowing all over the floor. Ye Yong swept it with his spiritual mind, and sure enough he found something on him. There were a lot of scratches from sharp objects, the most deadly ones being those that ruptured arteries.
A strong person who transforms into a god, even if he is seriously injured and has his cultivation level blocked, his vitality is extremely tenacious. It would take at least half an hour for Mei Renxing to go from being scratched to bleeding to death. But the guards didn't notice anything unusual, which was really incredible.
"Who discovered the body?" The BGM of Death's primary school student sounded in his mind. Ye Yong looked at the guard with a serious look on his face.
The guard stood straight and replied quickly: "It's Xia Zhi!"
"blind?"
"No, no, no, his surname is Xia Mingzhi."
"Then where is Xia Zhi now?"
"He is under investigation by the Criminal Department. All my colleagues who were on duty at the time have gone."
Ye Yong nodded to express his understanding. It was normal for the guards on duty to be investigated immediately when something like this happened.
"Do you know the last time you saw Mei Renxing alive?"
"I heard it was Haishi. We would come in every hour to check on the prisoner's condition. It was Zishi when we found out he died."
It was 9pm when we first arrived at Haishi. At that time, Ye Yong was making tea and chatting with Qin Shimeng. It was 11 o'clock in the evening, and Ye Yong was having a 'friendly exchange' with Qin Shimeng.
Shaking his head quickly to stop thinking, Ye Yong continued to play the BGM in his mind, trying to be a good detective: "So the crime occurred between Haishi and midnight. Was there anything unusual at that time? It seemed like someone fainted suddenly, attracting the guards. Attention or something.”
"should not."
While Ye Yong was asking questions, Ye Wen was looking around the room. He had never come in before. He rushed to Ye Yong's residence as soon as he received the news. Not to mention that Mei Renxing was already cold, even if he was not dead and was attacked, Ye Wen would still give priority to Ye Yong's safety.
The secret room is located underground and is surrounded by reinforced soil. Even if someone is proficient in earth escape techniques, the restriction will be triggered. If you want to break in silently without destroying any walls, you can only enter through the front door. However, you need to unlock many restrictions to open the cell door. There are so many guards, but no one notices anything unusual, and no one appears. Casualties... This is very unreasonable.
As a monk, Qin Shimeng is not a girl who screams when she sees corpses. She is also observing her surroundings and thinking.
"So after the body was found, there was no sign that the restraint on the cell door had been unlocked, right?"
"That's right."
After Ye Yong asked the question, he couldn't help but remain silent.
This is really a completely secret room. If it were to be placed inside a Shinigami primary school student, any cunning trick like a prisoner locking the door with a fishhook, or pretending that the door is locked and then unscrewing the door himself when the door is knocked would not work.
In the world of cultivating immortals, you can search for souls, and no secrets can be hidden, so it is impossible for the guards to steal it.
But with ninety-nine and eighty-one stabs in his body, we can't say that Mei Renxing committed suicide, right?
Ye Yong thought about it and felt that since it was impossible for humans to do it, what about spiritual beasts, monsters and ghosts?
Opening the system store, Ye Yong looked for props, and soon found something called Qi Bian Powder. After reading the introduction, it said that it can identify the breath that does not exceed twelve hours, no matter how good it is at eliminating the concealment.
People will appear white, spirit animals will appear orange, monsters will appear purple, and ghosts will appear black.
Zhou Suren and the others felt that this incident was probably caused by a demonic cultivator who killed someone, or a public official who had a grudge against Mei Renxing, who used power for personal gain and revenge. But as a time traveler, Ye Yong has a more open mind.
