Go back to ancient times to explore the case

"Where's the person?" Yan Qingchuan frowned, looking at the empty study room, and asked his subordinates.

The subordinate rubbed the back of his head and said in surprise, "It's still here just now. It's strange. I'll go ask the brothers outside if they see you."

Yan Qingchuan suddenly sensed something was wrong, turned around and ran to the dungeon immediately.

The white smoke in the dungeon was about to disperse. When Yan Qingchuan arrived, she only saw the fallen jailers and Xie Yu'an lying on the ground at the end. She narrowed her eyes and rushed to Xie Yu'an's side immediately. She breathed a sigh of relief. Then I went to check on the other jailers, but fortunately, they were all just in a coma.

However, Gu Qifeng had already died tragically in the prison cell, lying on the stone bed, holding a crumpled piece of paper in his hand, his eyeballs were protruding, staring at his hand, and the blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth was still flowing.

Yan Qingchuan's eyes darkened, and he immediately said loudly: "Come here! Tell the doctor and the assistant!"

The voice went straight to the dungeon, and after a while, there were footsteps, Rong Shi and a group of people rushed over, she looked at Xie Yu'an and said, "Is she alright?"

Yan Qingchuan helped Xie Yu'an to sit against the wall, "I inhaled some kind of smoke, doctor, come and see for her."

The doctor immediately stepped forward, opened Xie Yu'an's eyes to look at her, squeezed her mouth open to check her throat, and in the last operation, suddenly pinched her.

"Don't, don't run!" After a gasp, Xie Yu'an suddenly woke up, her brain was still confused, but her vision was already clear, after a moment of shock, she grabbed Yan Qingchuan's wrist and said, "How is Gu Qifeng?! "

Yan Qingchuan shook his head slightly.

Xie Yu'an turned her head to look into the cell, and Gu Qifeng's tragic death came into her eyes completely. She struggled to stand up and wanted to walk into the cell, but her feet were soft and she almost fell down. Fortunately, Yan Qingchuan held her arm in time and helped her stand still.

Xie Yu'an cast a thankful look, and then walked into the cell, the room was filled with the damp, decay and bloody smell that dungeons are used to.

She took out the note in Gu Qifeng's hand, which was covered with blood stains and slightly blurred words.

This is a letter of pleading guilty and committing suicide. The letter stated that he was obsessed with ghosts, was instigated by others, and maliciously framed Ling Shaoqing. Now he felt ashamed and committed suicide to apologize.

Killing people to silence their mouths, what a murder to silence their mouths, Xie Yu'an unconsciously grabbed the letter paper and wrinkled his brows with anger.

"What did you write?" Yan Qingchuan walked to her side and asked in a low voice.

Xie Yu'an loosened his brows and handed the paper to Yan Qingchuan. Yan Qingchuan was not too shocked after reading it, "We should have expected that the black hand behind the scenes would kill people and kill them. It's a trick to cheat."

Xie Yu'an shook his head, "It's better to say that they are bold or confident, so they dare to enter the Qingtian Division to commit crimes in such an open manner. If I'm not wrong, it should be easy for the person who came to you and the guy who delivered the meal just now." Allow."

"Strange, Gu Qifeng didn't die from poisoning." Rong Shi opened Gu Qifeng's mouth and said, his face became serious, "He died from biting his own tongue."

"How could it be? The cook didn't talk to him at that time, and I think this note was slipped into Gu Qifeng's hands quietly. If Gu Qifeng had this kind of courage, he should have committed suicide when he was discovered. Today." Xie Yu'an questioned.

Rong Shi straightened up, with the same puzzled expression on his face, "But after a preliminary inspection of the food, there was no poisonous reaction in his mouth, so he really committed suicide by biting his tongue."

The cell fell into a deathly silence, and everyone's expressions were heavy.

"Could it be that he was hallucinating?" Luo Yi's cautious voice sounded in the quiet cell.

Yan Qingchuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Say it."

"I've heard that there is a kind of herbal medicine in the world, which can be mixed with other medicines to make a strange medicine, which can make people fall into grotesque hallucinations. If the dose is too large, it will cause the body to be overexcited, and eventually die accidentally by swallowing the tongue," Luo said. Yi paused, then continued: "And this medicine has one of the scariest things about it, that is, it can be addictive! Taking it at the beginning will make people feel a lot more energetic and happy. I have to increase the dosage to obtain the initial effect, so that in the end the whole person is controlled by the drug, and if it is broken, it will feel uncomfortable all over the body, like a hundred ants addicted to the heart."

Hallucinogenic and addictive, it sounds like some kind of compound drug. Xie Yu'an wondered, could it be that the mastermind behind the scenes used this drug to control Gu Qingfeng?

"Rongshi, take the food back and check carefully whether there are any medicinal ingredients." Yan Qingchuan ordered.

"Ah."

"Let's go." Yan Qingchuan said the last sentence to Xie Yu'an.

Xie Yu'an came back to his senses, and was taken aback for a moment, "Huh?"

"Go home."

"There are still a lot of things to deal with now, I," Yan Qingchuan interrupted her with a frown, "This is the end of the matter, and the person behind Gu Qifeng will not be able to get involved in a while."

Xie Yu'an opened his mouth, but finally closed it, and followed Yan Qingchuan back to Yan's Mansion.

In the room, Yan Qingchuan pressed her on the chair and asked, "Apart from the forehead, where is the injury?"

I don't think I've said it, but when I said Xie Yu'an, I felt that my forehead was burning. It must be because I was unconscious, and now the part of the back of the neck connected to the shoulder blade also hurts.

She looked up at Yan Qingchuan, and said pitifully, "My back hurts."

Yan Qingchuan pursed his lips, then walked behind Xie Yu'an, put a hand on her shoulder, and asked, "Where does it hurt?"

Her voice was low and slow, revealing a gentle and gentle feeling. Xie Yu'an's brain was agitated, and she couldn't tell whether it was the physiological reaction brought about by charging or the inner joy. She said in a soft voice: "Where is it?" It hurts."

Yan Qingchuan shrunk his fingertips, and immediately said, "Speak well."

Xie Yu'an smiled and said, "Okay."

After a while, she felt that the clothes behind her were slightly taken off, and a trace of coldness spread from the neck to the shoulder blades. Of course, she knew what it was, it was the temperature of Yan Qingchuan's fingertips on her skin.

Even though the other party didn't have any charming thoughts or cross-border movements, Xie Yu'an was a little impetuous. He clearly felt the coolness of Yan Qingchuan's fingertips, but when it landed on a small piece of her skin, it made people feel hot for no reason. The heat went straight to the bottom of her heart, making her tremble a little when she spoke: "Yan, Master Yan, you... you..."

The fidgeting fingers on the neck stopped, and Xie Yu'an heard Yan Qingchuan ask: "Why are you shaking?"

Xie Yu'an wants to say that I don't want to shake either. It's not that she hasn't imagined what it would be like to fall in love, but after thinking about it, she feels that she can't be the shy and innocent one, she should be very chic and calm, but now she is I can't even touch the back of my neck anymore.

This huge psychological gap made her feel a little ashamed, so she gathered her clothes and wanted to say no, but in the next second, Yan Qingchuan pressed the upper part of her shoulder blade gently, and the pain hit him violently. She couldn't hold back a "hiss -" sound.

"here?"

"Yes, it hurts."

"It should be twisted." After Yan Qingchuan said, he picked up a little ointment with his fingertips and applied it to Xie Yu'an's wound, and then rubbed it a little bit to melt the ointment.

Xie Yu'an, in order to prevent himself from continuing to be distracted, told Yan Qingchuan to see the clues, so he could only force himself to divert his attention, saying: "Now that Gu Qifeng is dead, we can only continue to investigate from Wei Wei and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry."

Yan Qingchuan gave a low "hmm", then withdrew his hands, straightened Xie Yu'an's clothes, "Leave Qingtian Division."

Xie Yu'an was startled, then turned to face Yan Qingchuan, "Master Yan, what do you mean?"

Yan Qingchuan didn't look at her, his eyes were half downcast, and his gaze fell to the ground, "Now that you have taken off your guilt, I don't know what kind of property you have outside, but seeing you spend a lot of money, I understand that you are not short of money. There is no shortage of a shelter for me, as for what you said earlier that you want to help me vindicate my father's grievances, this has nothing to do with you, it is my own business."

Yan Qingchuan turned around, as if he wanted to leave, "Leaving Qingtiansi, the sky is big and the earth is big, you can do whatever you want." After finishing speaking, he raised his leg and wanted to leave, but Xie Yu An Xuxu grabbed his wrist .

She turned her head to look, and the pair of peach blossom eyes that were usually smiling now seemed to be filled with water, making it hard for people to see the emotions inside.

"Master Yan, are you going to drive me away?"

Faced with the questioning, Yan Qingchuan chose to remain silent.

Xie Yu'an let go of his hand and said firmly, "I won't leave."

I still want to help you solve the current predicament, I also want to help you untie the knots of many years, and I also want to pave the way for you in the future, how can I go?

Of course, Xie Yu'an didn't say these words, he could only add them silently in his heart.

Yan Qingchuan raised his eyes to look at her, and slowly said: "Staying by my side is like today's danger, it will only be more and not less, what's more, you will die."

Xie Yu'an said without hesitation, "I'm not afraid."

Yan Qingchuan's eyes flickered, there was a trace of struggle on his face, and his tone was faintly loosened, "Why? After leaving Qingtiansi, you can still find your system, so you don't have to... seek comfort from me."

Xie Yu'an was speechless. She felt that if she didn't explain the misunderstanding, she would really not be able to explain it clearly. She was about to reveal her true identity without doing anything, but suddenly her brain hurt like an electric shock.

At the same time, the system's electronic sound alarm sounded in the brain, "Warning, warning, the host cannot self-explode his identity. Once the target person realizes that he belongs to the character in the book, his belief will collapse, and the whole world will also collapse immediately, and the host will be completely annihilated in the book world. "

Hey, it's so serious, you didn't say it earlier!Xie Yu'an roared in his heart, but he had to keep calm on his face.

Seeing that her face turned pale suddenly, Yan Qingchuan thought she was not feeling well, so he stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Xie Yu'an shook his hand, indicating that nothing happened, "Master Yan, this system, how can I tell you, it is really not a person, nor is it a thing."

System: "...you are nothing."

"Don't make trouble, let's talk business!"

Yan Qingchuan watched Xie Yu'an muttering to the air, looking like she was muttering, she narrowed her eyes slightly, folded her arms and said, "Are you bewitched?"

Xie Yu'an felt choked again, she couldn't explain it, and she couldn't explain it, it was so difficult for her.

Two seconds later, she took a deep breath and said, "Anyway, the system and I are definitely not what you think, just like what you said, you are not a substitute for anyone." She paused for a while, looked at Yan Qingchuan, With focused eyes and a sincere tone, "Yan Qingchuan will not be anyone's substitute."

Yan Qingchuan suddenly felt that all the voices around him were lost for a moment, and only Xie Yu'an's words echoed in her mind. She obviously felt her cheeks were burning. This strange and unfamiliar feeling prompted her to turn her back in panic: "I ,I see."

Mr. Yan, who has always been able to speak freely and articulately, spoke vaguely, which made Xie Yu'an feel strangely cute. She got up and wanted to walk around to Yan Qingchuan, "Mr. Yan, what's wrong with you?"

But Yan Qingchuan immediately turned his back to her again, cleared his throat and said, "It's okay, since you want to stay, you can do whatever you want, but getting hurt in the future is commonplace, you have to make up your mind."

He clearly wanted to speak words of caring, but he had to say it in an alienated and indifferent way. Mr. Yan, who has a knife mouth and a bean curd heart, Xie Yu'an sighed in his heart, then stepped forward two steps, and hugged Yan Qingchuan from behind, "Thank you You, Lord Yan."
