After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 509 What charade?
"But it's actually produced by Bega, and it's legal just to walk outside?"

Mai Xuewen spread his hands together: "Except for the country of Beja, where else can hunting monsters be so easy?"

In the northern demon country, of course there are many demon clans.There are many people and countries all over the world, and monsters hide in the deep mountains and swamps, scattered and hard to find.

Out of efficiency and cost considerations, of course Beja Hunting is the most cost-effective.

He Lingchuan thought for a while: "You said, send it to refine the medicine...then Cen Boqing didn't refine the medicine by himself?"

Mai Xuewen smiled softly: "You are very sensitive. The refiner is someone else, but you have to get through the current difficulties first, so I can tell you."

"Why?"

"If you can't even catch Cen Boqing, you won't be able to do the rest."

He Lingchuan looked at him and said, "It's not Cen Boqing who has a grudge against you, right?"

Mai Xuewen smiled and said nothing.

"Since you want to cooperate, you must show sincerity." He Lingchuan folded his arms and said, "How can you help me?"

"I can give you two clues." Mai Xuewen pointed his finger up, "First of all, the person who went to the county jail to make a confession with Fu Songhua was named Pang De-Nian, and he was also under Wu Kai. The prison boss who took bribes died, and he He was fine, and was sent to Houjiazhuang in the southwestern part of Baisha to do miscellaneous work to avoid the limelight, under the pseudonym Chen Erhei, and no one there recognized him at all. On the surface, Houjiazhuang has nothing to do with the Cen Mansion, but it is actually controlled by Cen Boqing's cousin."

He paused and said: "The reason why Wu Kai didn't kill Pang De-nian may be because his grandson once fell into the water and was rescued by Pang De-nian, and the latter two have a good relationship."

"Secondly, I found out that another group that hunts demons and fetches pearls is in Xiaohulu Town, Baiting County. The leader is Yang Song, and there should be five or six people under his command."

Tiger Jiao Yu interjected, "Wait a minute, Baiting County is not in Chiyan Country."

"Wu Kai's various groups are scattered in different feudal kingdoms." Mai Xuewen glanced at it, "Baiting County is fairly close, and it is only seventy or eighty miles away from the northern border of Chiyan."

"Do you want to arrest people across the country?" He Lingchuan frowned, "What about the other groups?"

"I guess there are three or four groups of people, but they don't know each other and don't contact each other. The only person in the middle is Wu Kai." He said to He Lingchuan, "These two clues are directly related to Wu Kai. If you catch them, say Might not be able to ask for more details.”

"That's it? It's too little useful."

"If they didn't do it too cleanly, it wouldn't be your turn to investigate the case now." Mai Xuewen sighed, "Then I will give you another clue. Wu Kai lost his wife and son in his early years, but he has a grandson. This A few days ago, my daughter-in-law and grandson came to Baisha to play."

He Lingchuan was dissatisfied: "I thought you would directly tie Wu Kai to me."

"The entire Cen Mansion has set up formations, and escape techniques are prohibited, and the snail can't get in." Apparently Mai Xuewen has tried it, "Besides, Wu Kai and Cen Boqing are almost inseparable, and they are surrounded by hidden guards to protect them."

Snail toads are only suitable for sneak attacks.

He Lingchuan thought for a while: "What kind of character is Cen Boqing?"

"Don't think that he is arrogant to outsiders. In fact, he is suspicious and weak inside, and is easy to compromise, but sometimes he can be desperate. It can be said that his temperament is complicated and changeable. By the way, he also hates trouble very much."

He Lingchuan pondered.

Being weak on the outside and weak on the inside, it is easy to go to extremes when forced to a corner?It seems that there are not a few people with this personality.

"How could Uncle Wu recognize Cen Boqing as the master?"

"Wu Kai is the personal attendant of Cen Boqing's father, Cen Tan. Cen Dan has been with Cen Boqing for more than ten years since his death."

"Based on this, Wu Kai has won Cen Boqing's trust?"

"Naturally, otherwise, how could such things as hunting monsters and getting pearls be entrusted to Wu Kai?" Mai Xuewen said again, "I'll give you another piece of advice."

"Oh?" The guy's tone was so condescending.

"The investigation of this case is getting deeper and deeper. You can't solve it alone. Please ask the prince for help."

"I also have something to ask you." He Lingchuan suddenly threw out an irrelevant question, "There is a painting in your study, in which a woman plays a bone flute. Where did this painting come from, and who is the person in the painting? "

Why are you asking this all of a sudden?Not to mention Mai Xuewen, even the tiger next to him forgot to lick its fur.

Mai Xuewen immediately said: "Where is the painting?"

He Lingchuan took out the scroll from the storage ring and shook it at him.

"I collected it from the market, and kept it because of its exquisite painting skills."

He Lingchuan was displeased: "If you keep talking nonsense, I will leave this case alone."

Mai Xuewen was silent for a while before saying: "This painting was painted 20 years ago, and the person in the painting is the current Lord of Qing Palace, Qingyang National Teacher."

What?Is the painting Qingyang Guoshi?
This answer was beyond He Lingchuan's expectation: "Is this one of Bega's four great masters?"

"Exactly."

"What is the origin of the musical instrument in her hand?"

"That flute?" Mai Xuewen wondered, "Why do you ask this?"

Nonsense, if it wasn't for the bone flute, why would he go to such lengths to investigate the case? "I seem to have seen that flute."

"Maybe it's from the Qing Palace's collection." Mai Xuewen's eyes flickered slightly, "Qingyang Guoshi likes to collect rare things, and has been in power for the longest time. Qinggong has more rare treasures than the other three national teachers. .”

He Lingchuan stared at him.It's a pity that this guy's face was stiff, and he couldn't see anything: "You really don't know the origin of the flute?"

"All I know is that it seems to have been in Qingyang National Master's hands for a long time."

"What is the relationship between you and Qinggong Guoshi?"

Mai Xuewen answered fluently: "It doesn't matter."

Hehe, He Lingchuan didn't believe it, but the other party refused to say it.He exhaled lightly, and then continued: "Based on the existing evidence and clues, it is inconvenient for the prince to come forward. What's more, I have no suitable reason to stop Zhong Sunmou from taking Fu Songhua back to Lingxu City."

He has no definite evidence in his hand, and Fushan is getting more and more passive.

"It can be said that as soon as Zhong Sunmou finds Fu Songhua, the case will be closed." He said word by word, "At that time, you will have no chance."

So in the past few days, those opponents searched for Fu Songhua all over the city, and even the Fan brothers didn't bother He Lingchuan.

As long as the wanted criminal in Lingxu City is found, the game will be over.

Mai Xuewen's long-term plan will be in vain.

This result, Mai Xuewen obviously absolutely cannot accept, so he thought for a while and said: "Then I will do you a favor. Tomorrow happens to be the Lotus Festival..."

"Shut up!" He Lingchuan suddenly yelled, "You are a suspect, and I am a special envoy. I don't need your help, and I won't make any deals with you!"

Mai Xuewen: "..."

Jiao Yu: "..."

No deal, envoy, is this a joke?
"I'm just telling the suspect's words." He Lingchuan said, took out a box and opened it, and there were a few moist beads inside.

He took out one and played with it a few times, and he was about to crush it.

Mai Xuewen stared at it, and couldn't help but stop it: "Don't!"

He Lingchuan didn't pinch, just glanced at him, smiled, and slowly put the ball back into the box: "It seems that you are very close to me."

"You can't catch me, especially in this weather."

The rain outside has never stopped, and even with the windows closed, the humidity in the house is still heavy.

"Don't play tricks, and don't try to disturb other people's celebrations." He Lingchuan warned him sternly, "Come and surrender earlier, otherwise when I catch you, you will be punished severely!"

Mai Xuewen took a deep look at him: "You are quite interesting, I hope you are still alive after the case is closed."

"Don't bother."

As soon as the words fell, the man took two steps back and almost fell down.

He steadied his body in a jerk, and when he looked around again, his eyes were full of confusion: "This?"

What happened, how did he sneak into the guest room?

He turned his head and saw that the doors and windows were closed tightly, and the big wooden barrel was steaming, and he couldn't help shivering. Could it be?
Fortunately, the guest pointed behind him: "Go out."

It seems that after Mai Xuewen took away his magical powers, this guy can be himself again.

The man ran away in a flash, not forgetting to close the door again.It seems that Mai Xuewen's spell did not harm him.

He Lingchuan looked at the vat of hot water.

What kind of hot water do you send in summer?Neuropathy!But it's all delivered, so it's a waste if you don't use it.

But before he took off his clothes, the tiger plopped into the water, resting its head on the edge of the barrel.

"Anyway, you don't take a bath in the house." It squinted its eyes half-closed, with an expression very much like an old man taking a bath.

"..." This guy really knows how to enjoy.

Jiao Yu also asked him, "What charades are you playing?"

It always felt that the last actions and questions and answers of these two people were a bit mysterious. Both of them seemed to understand something, but it didn't understand it.

Human beings, huh, huh, [-] minds.

"Is there?" He Lingchuan smiled, picked up a towel from the hot water, folded it into a square, and placed it on its forehead, "You are overthinking."

In the steaming heat, his smile looked a little fuzzy.

"The stormy sea is coming."

Jiao Yu: "Huh?"

It turned its head, only to see He Lingchuan lying down on the couch with his hands behind his head, with a leisurely expression, as if he didn't say the words just now.

……

In the attic across the street.

The two sentinels were staring at the opposite wooden window in a daze, when the guards of the Cen residence suddenly appeared behind:
"Is there any movement?"

The two almost jumped up in fright.

"No, everything is normal." They only cared about the prince's special envoy's performance at the inn, and they had been watching for a few days. He was very well behaved, eating, sleeping and chatting.

The guard saw that He Lingchuan's wooden window was closed. "What is he doing?"

"Bath." The two replied, "The buddy sent a big bucket of hot water."

The guard hummed and was about to turn around when he suddenly felt something was wrong:

"Wait, doesn't he all go to the bathhouse to take a bath?"

"Yes, but..." People want to wash in the guest room, why can't they?

The guard raised his hand and slapped the two of them on the back of the head: "He closed the window in the name of taking a bath. This is abnormal, why don't you understand the report!"

After that, he hurried downstairs, leaving the two sentinels in the attic uneasy.

It's a pity that the guard went late, when he went to the inn, he found that the door of He Lingchuan's room had been opened, and several guys were carrying buckets out.

The water was a bit dirty, and there were some brownish-reddish hairs floating on it.
