After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 491 New Clues
One of them was silent, the other hummed, neither of them would speak.

Jiao Yu sniffed, walked to the guard with a dislocated shoulder, and said, "Here, you peed your pants."

All the soldiers laughed, this man's face was pale and blue, he was embarrassed and frightened.

This was probably the lowest point of his life.

He Lingchuan also walked up to the prisoner with a dislocated shoulder, and patted him on the shoulder——

The man groaned in pain, raised his eyes, and met the mirror that He Lingchuan sacrificed.

"Look!"

The man wanted to look away, but it was too late.His eyes subconsciously fell on the mirror, and he didn't feel anything unusual.

Until the reflection in the mirror, I smiled at myself...

The sorghum poles blocked the west-slanting sunlight, and everyone stood under the shadow, when a wisp of white smoke was pulled out from the prisoner's mouth and instantly thrown into the mirror.

The captive's gaze suddenly became dull.

This person is injured and weak-minded, and is more likely to be taken advantage of by external evils than his companions.

He Lingchuan repeated the question again: "Who are you chasing?"

The prisoner replied blankly, "It's the man who is wanted in the whole city now, his surname is Mai."

After losing his soul, he even lost his vigilance.

"Have you ever dealt with him?"

The man shook his head.They also just follow orders.

"What are your orders?"

"Take him back. If you can't bring him back, kill him on the spot."

Sure enough, it was almost as he expected: "Who sent you here?"

"Uncle Wu."

Finally a new name can be traced: "Who is Uncle Wu?"

"Uncle Wu is an old man in Cen's residence. He has been with Mr. Cen for more than ten years and has arranged many things."

"Master Chen? Master Cen?" He Lingchuan asked him, "What's your full name?"

"Cen..." There was another look of struggle in the man's eyes.

Are you instinctively unwilling to say even if you lost your soul?He Lingchuan said: "Don't worry, I've told you that nothing will happen to you."

The man shook his head again and again.

He Lingchuan had no choice but to ask another way: "Do you live in the northwest corner of Baisha?"

"Yes."

"Do you live east of the Blue Lake?"

"Yes."

"What are the identifying marks?"

"A pair of white jade unicorns more than ten feet high at Zhengdamen Town, and a 300-year-old sycamore tree."

He Lingchuan thought for a while: "What does Uncle Wu look like?"

"In his fifties, with a square face, slightly fat, not tall, and squinting when he smiles."

These features are familiar. "Is he wearing date red silk today, a black gold-plated belt, and a black hat?"

This person also recalled: "Yes."

He Lingchuan smiled slightly.

Uncle Wu was also on the tower just now!

It is an old wealthy businessman who bargains with others in Chaohu teahouse.

I don't know whether it's the boldness of Yigao people or the self-confidence not to wear clothes, but Uncle Wu went there in person.

Fortunately, He Lingchuan also did enough acting on the tower, so that no one could see through it at a glance.

"Is Uncle Wu the housekeeper of Cen's residence? What does he do?"

"No, the housekeeper of Cen's house is someone else." This person shook his head, "Uncle Wu only follows Mr. Cen, we don't know what he does."

"Uncle Wu is Master Cen's confidant?"

"Yes."

"Okay, take it down." He Lingchuan said to the soldier leader with a happy heart, "Tell you all, immediately escort the prisoner with a dislocated shoulder to the capital and present it to the prince as an important witness; the other one will be locked up and be careful not to be silenced."

Soldiers took orders.

He Lingchuan stood up, stretched, and whistled again.

The goshawk flew over from nowhere, with a few magpie feathers sticking to the corners of its mouth.

"Why did you eat it?" He Lingchuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "The person who turned back and reported to him also needs to be followed."

Goshawk stood on the horse and patted its wings: "The eyeliner has been dispatched."

Time was running out, so everyone packed up and rushed back.

It wasn't until the Chaohu Tower came into view again that two blue magpies flew from the front and landed in front of the goshawk, chirping a few times.

The goshawk raised its wings to show off, and the two monsters flew up in fright.

"what happened?"

"They are lost." Goshawk was displeased, "They said that the third person who turned back entered a low room opposite the Chaohu Tower, and then did not come out again. They waited for a while and felt that something was wrong, and went in through the window to check , and found that there was no one there.”

"Well, that's already slipped away. It's either a secret passage or a formation." He Lingchuan snorted, knowing that he would not be able to reach the opponent's lair so smoothly, "Take me there to have a look."

Two blue magpies lead the way.

They were temporarily recruited by Goshawk, who is the Chiyan demon official, who has the right to temporarily conscript these demon birds to do things for him.

He Lingchuan followed them to a one-story house, just opposite the Chaohu Tower.

It's not the first row facing the street, but the attic at the rear.This is equivalent to the second and a half floors. He Lingchuan went up to take a look, and sure enough, he could monitor the gate of Chaohu Tower through the window.

There are many houses like this around Chaohu Tower, which are very inconspicuous.The people coming in and out are also mixed, and many foreigners rent houses here for cheap.

After all, it is around the scenic spot, not as closed as ordinary residential areas, and unfamiliar faces will be recognized immediately.

He Lingchuan and Jiao Yu searched around the room a few times, moved the low table away, and found that there was a painted formation hidden under it.

Jiao Yu looked at it and said, "This is a small mountain-moving array, and it can only move people two feet away."

Of course, the price is also small.

No need to look, the other end of the magic circle must be in the house next door, and the third target has already slipped away.

Blue Magpie's stalking failed completely this time.

"Take care of the existing prisoners, they are important witnesses." He Lingchuan straightened up, "Fortunately, we have already asked for new clues."

The Blue Lake East Mansion has a white jade unicorn at the door and a 300-year-old parasol tree.

This is simply a name.

In fact, when the three chased them out, He Lingchuan was already at ease.

This time, the goal of laying out the set has been achieved:
First of all, he must find out whether Mr. Mai has contacted the real culprit behind the scenes.

This is the relationship of the whole case.

Now the answer is clear:

No.

After escaping from Shuanglu Town, Mr. Mai has not been heard from. Neither He Lingchuan nor his immediate boss can find his trace.

Otherwise, these people don't need to take the risk of exploring Chaohu Tower.

The disappearance of Mr. Mai is an intriguing signal in itself.Did he run away after smelling murderous intent and intending to protect himself, or did he have a plan from the beginning?
If the latter, what is the purpose?

Second, go fishing.

He Lingchuan doesn't expect to catch a certain big fish in one go. To be honest, he also feels that the water here is very deep, and those who can bite the hook may not be the real culprits.

But give him a vine, and he can easily touch the melon, and find a flaw in the opponent's strict defense.

Now, isn't the clue delivered to the door by itself?
……

After stepping out of the small moving formation, the No.3 guard saw Uncle Wu.

When Uncle Wu saw him coming back empty-handed, he immediately knew something was wrong: "What happened?"

Before he could reply, Uncle Wu's expression changed: "Okay, let's go! Talk while walking!"

Before the guard opened his mouth, Uncle Wu had already scratched the formation on the wall, and hurried away with his men.

After half an hour.

Uncle Wu stood in front of his master, sweating coldly:
"Those two idiots have never come back. The old slave is messed up and fell into the other party's trap!"

"They may have already confessed." Cen Boqing walked around the room twice, "These two people alone can't bite the Cen's house, but the more people with the surname He are investigated, they must not stay."

"Please show me."

"He is the special envoy of the prince of the Chiyan Kingdom, and it is not appropriate to execute him publicly." Cen Boqing paused, "Then find the curse master and send him a ride."

"You mean, Cheng?"

Cen Boqing nodded: "He should be ready."

"If we can invite that person to go out, we should be safe." Wu Bo breathed a sigh of relief, "Even the king of the Mang Kingdom died at his hands. This He should be a piece of cake."

"Go and see, if there is anything else to prepare, don't tell him not to be careless."

Uncle Wu responded and was about to leave when Cen Boqing suddenly said, "By the way, have you verified Mai Xuewen's background?"

"I have already sent someone to re-examine. His hometown is a bit far away. It will take three to five days to get the results."

"I just heard that he sent his men to kill demons in a very special way?"

"This..." Uncle Wu's face turned pale.

"You don't know either?"

"When Mai Xuewen first started doing this, I accompanied him to observe for more than two months. His method of leading people and killing demons is very common. It's not like, like now." Uncle Wu swallowed, "Later, Mai Xuewen Wen has always delivered the beads on schedule, sometimes even exceeding the quota. He is the most low-key one among the agents, and has never had any problems, and the old slave rarely, rarely asks his methods."

He has many subordinates, many things to worry about, and Mai Xuewen never makes mistakes, so why does he always stare at Mai Xuewen?
Cen Boqing said softly: "You have a lot of delegates, it's impossible to question all of them, I know."

Uncle Wu lowered his head.He knows Cen Boqing very well, and this matter cannot be settled easily.

"But this is your second big mistake!"

With a crisp bang, Cen Boqing threw a teacup and smashed it on the wall next to Uncle Wu.

The fragments flew and scratched the back of his hand, but Uncle Wu didn't move, letting the blood drip to the ground.

"Is the trap surnamed He set up at Chaohu Pagoda clever? How could you step into it!" Cen Boqing slapped the table and cursed, "How did you train your subordinates? Either they were stupid as pigs or dogs, or they ran away!"

Uncle Wu was scolded without saying a word.

The biggest mistake he made on the edge of Chaohu Tower was that he didn't stay in the attic to watch.As a result, the three guards rushed out to arrest people, but they couldn't act accordingly.

At this time, someone asked to see him at the back door, saying that he was an old friend of Lingxu.

These four characters are code words.

Cen Boqing immediately suppressed his anger and took a deep breath.Uncle Wu also hurriedly cleaned up the broken porcelain on the ground.

The servants brought in one person, dressed as a civilian.

Such a large Cen Mansion usually requires more than a hundred people to maintain its operations, so it is normal for people to come and go.

Cen Boqing thought it was Zhong Sunmou's guard in disguise, but he lifted his hat to reveal his light blue skin.

"Brother Zhongsun?" Cen Boqing's surprise was not feigned, "Why did you come in person?"
