Star Trace Gate

In prison, in the torture chamber.

Ren Ye listened to Gui Tou Dao's screams and was secretly amazed, even a little impressed.

This man is definitely a worthy opponent, a tough guy.

Just these four or five big men who specialize in punishment, plus an old man who looks very perverted, this combination is very explosive in any era, and it belongs to the ceiling level. Even if the group of people who can open the abdomen and hang the intestines on the island come, they probably can't last two rounds.

But Gui Tou Dao had been tortured for nearly an hour, but he didn't utter a word. His willpower was very strong.

If it was the cowardly Weng Sanren who came, he would probably know where his great-grandfather and great-grandmother were buried.

"You are such a ghost-headed knife! Your mouth is as different from ordinary people's as your hair." The gloomy old man shouted in a hoarse voice, "It seems that he will not be able to confess unless we use some real tricks. Come on, use the method of peeling snake skin, I want to see how hard his mouth is."

Ren was also startled, he turned his head to look at General Feng and asked, "Sir, what is the method of peeling a snake's skin?!"

"Haha." General Feng sneered, glanced at Ren Ye's lower body casually, and replied: "What do you think?"

Damn, that’s cruel.

Ren was so scared that he felt a chill in his crotch for no reason, and even felt a little sympathy for Gui Toudao.

This feudal society is really not a place for human beings to live in. It's ironic.

The two had just said a sentence when they heard the sound of a door opening behind them.

Ren also turned his head and saw the witch master Wu Yuanjun, followed by a white-haired old man, walking in together.

General Feng immediately stood up and clasped his fists with Ren Ye, ready to salute.

"Thank you." Wu Yuanjun replied in a low voice and made a gesture to keep quiet.

The two of them immediately made way and stood on both sides of the wooden chair.

"Elder Xun, go and use your spiritual power to interrogate me. I'll be listening here." After Wu Yuanjun whispered to the old man, he bent down and sat on the wooden chair.

Ren also blinked and said sensibly, "Master, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."

"No need. You and Gui Tou Dao are both one of the Six Gentlemen, so you know his habits better. Just stay here and watch the trial." The witch master obviously trusted this lackey very much. Even when the elders of the tribe were preparing to use secret methods, he did not chase him away.

When Ren Ye heard this, he suddenly felt like he had found a big boss and was able to stand up completely.

He replied obediently: "Then I will listen."

As they were talking, the sturdy men and the gloomy old man behind the screen saw the clan elders coming in and clocked out early.

In the dark torture room, Guitoudao, with his face covered in blood, slowly raised his head, and when he looked towards the clan elders, his expression was filled with grievance and helplessness.

He knew this Elder Xun, who was very prestigious in the clan, and especially loved younger generations. He was very kind and benevolent to his own people.

When I was a kid, whenever I ran into him, Elder Xun would say, "Oh, our little Jing'er is so pretty. Come over here and let Second Grandpa touch your dick and eat it."

Unfortunately, he was very cruel to his enemies and traitors.

Whenever he dealt with the families of judges and enemy generals, he would often say, "This boy's little egg is quite delicate. I will take it myself and give it to my old lady at home to drink."

Gui Tou Dao certainly no longer had the privilege of touching a dick, so when he looked at the old man, his legs trembled instinctively.

Elder Xun stood in front of him and said softly, "There should be no one in the White Python Clan who doesn't know my methods. I'll give you one more chance. Do you want me to tell you the story or do you want me to do it?"

"I am loyal to my tribe and my master... I have never done anything wrong, so... how can I explain it?" Gui Toudao said eagerly, "Elder, just listen to me and you will understand..."

"Forget it, since you don't want to say it, I'll check it out myself." Elder Xun seemed to have very little patience. He didn't listen to Gui Tou Dao's explanation at all. He just replied lightly and then suddenly raised his hands.

"Weng."

A mysterious aura spread out, and the shadow of a ghost doll floated out from between Elder Xun's eyebrows and hung above his head.

After seeing this scene, Gui Tou Dao's pupils shrank sharply and he felt a little scared, but he did not force an explanation.

"Ancestor Mang Tianjun, please ask the pioneer spirit boy under your seat to open his eyes - capture the soul!"

As soon as these words came out, Elder Xun's whole body began to tremble, his head swaying, his hair was messy, and he looked like a madman.

"brush!"

At the same time, the ghost doll phantom floating above the elder's head suddenly opened its eyes.

An enchanting purple light shot straight out, and Guitoudao couldn't help but raise his head and look into the ghost doll's eyes.

In a flash, his eyes turned bloodshot and his expression froze, as if he was stupid.

"Who are you?" Elder Xun closed his eyes and spoke softly.

"One of the six gentlemen under the seat of the witch master of the White Python Clan - Gui Tou Dao."

"During the previous battle at Crouching Tiger Temple, why were you so familiar with Niu Xi's past?!" Elder Xun asked again.

After these words came out, Gui Tou Dao was stunned and drooling. He seemed to react for a while before he replied stiffly: "In order to please the witch master, figure out his thoughts, and stand out among the six gentlemen, I often look up information about the witch master's life, and even secretly inquire about it and spend money to buy gossip. When I fought with Niu Xi that day, I just had no choice but to try to talk about his past, but I didn't expect it to be so effective..."

Behind the screen, Ren Ye heard this and frowned instantly.

Wu Yuanjun just sat on the chair with a calm expression, not saying a word.

"Why did you sneak into the family compound? What do you want to do?!" Elder Xun asked again.

Gui Tou Dao's eyes were confused and dull, and he just shook his head slightly before blood started flowing from all his orifices. He seemed to have suffered some kind of trauma after looking into the eyes of the ghost doll.

"I didn't sneak into the family compound," Gui Toudao said in a steady voice, "I was always in the dining room."

Ok? !

Were all my previous speculations wrong?

After hearing Gui Toudao's answer, Ren Ye even began to doubt his own judgment for a moment.

If we only talk about asking spirits and using witchcraft, the people in Southern Xinjiang are definitely the most authoritative force. Once they take action, there should be no mistakes.

Ren Ye's thoughts were active, and he began to think hard in his mind.

Beside him, the witch master listened with a calm expression, showing no surprise and not interrupting.

"The person who interrogated you previously had already asked the kitchen staff. You were indeed there, but you disappeared for about two quarters of an hour."

"I went to the toilet, someone should have seen me go in." Gui Toudao responded dully.

"...!"

……

About a quarter of an hour later.

Elder Xun's face turned pale, and he walked over with a somewhat unsteady pace, and said softly to the witch master: "The person who entered the family compound and wanted to do something improper was not Guitoudao."

Wu Yuanjun slowly raised his head and asked softly, "Will it go wrong?"

"The soul-stealing technique of the pioneer spirit boy has never failed. Not to mention that he is just a third-rank spy, even if he faces a supernatural power one rank higher than me, as long as he looks at the spirit boy, his soul will be seduced. He will answer whatever is asked and will never lie." Elder Xun frowned: "Based on his answer, this person is definitely not someone who has been admitted to the hospital. But...!"

"But what?"

“However, when I was controlling the spirit boy to look at it just now, I felt that the aura it exuded today was a little softer, not as strange and sharp as before.” Elder Xun recalled for a moment and shook his head, saying, “This situation rarely happens…”

"Gentle?" Wu Yuanjun murmured softly, feeling confused.

Elder Xun paused for a moment and added: "Either this person is not lying; or he has a magical weapon or secret method that can fight against the witch spirits of my White Python tribe. Looking at the southern border, there are not many who can make the witch spirits of my tribe feel close or a little afraid. There are only two, the Tianlong tribe and the lineage of the Dog Emperor..."

Wu Yuanjun fell into deep thought.

"My lord, I'm not wronged. Just let me try once." At this moment, Guitoudao suddenly shouted from the inside: "I have been running around for my lord for many years. Although I haven't made any outstanding achievements, I have done my best. If my lord remembers our past friendship, please give me a chance..."

"How do you want to test it?" Wu Yuanjun looked up and replied.

"Please come in, Master Jing'er, and select ten guards of similar height and build to me." Gui Tou Dao shouted hysterically, "I will only do one thing. If Master Jing'er can recognize me on the spot, even if the Witch Master uses the most cruel punishment in the world on me, I will not hesitate!"

After a moment of contemplation, Wu Yuanjun suddenly turned his head to look at Ren Ye, smiled faintly and asked: "Master Buddha, do you think... should I give him this chance?"

Ren was slightly stunned and felt very upset.

If Wu Yuanjun had not asked this question, he could have pretended to be stupid and continued to make the move, after all, he had already laid the groundwork for his character before.

But the witch master's question now must have a deeper meaning.

The interrogators had already traced Gui Tou Dao's movements when he went to the dining room to eat, so it would not be difficult to find out that he had also disappeared during that time period...

Although outsiders thought he was investigating documents on the second floor of the archives, no one actually saw him at that time.

You can't just respond to this blindly, otherwise you might end up losing more than you gain.

After a brief thought, Ren Ye clasped his fists and replied, "I think that only after the evidence is solid, can we deal with the ghost-head knife. This will convince the public and will not disappoint the brothers who are responsible for my mission."

"That makes sense." Wu Yuanjun nodded slowly: "Do as Gui Tou Dao says."

……

After a while.

Jing'er was called into a very empty room.

Wu Yuanjun pulled him over lovingly, pointed behind the screen and said softly: "Jing'er, 11 people will come out soon, but you don't need to be nervous, just stand here and watch, and recognize the one who beat you, do you understand?"

"Jing'er understands."

"Okay, let's start." Wu Yuanjun looked up.

After the order was given, eleven men of roughly the same height and appearance, wearing the same clothes and with their faces covered with gray cloth, walked out from behind the screen.

When Jing'er saw these people, he immediately looked up at the top of their heads, but after just one look, he was instantly stunned.

Because these people have the same hairstyle, they all have alopecia areata, and the location and size of the alopecia are also roughly the same.

Jing'er glanced at everyone with confused eyes and couldn't help swallowing.

He blinked his lively eyes and asked softly, "Daddy, can I get closer to check?"

"Yes." Wu Yuanjun nodded.

Upon hearing this, Jing'er stepped forward and stood in front of each person to observe carefully, but a confused look still appeared on her face.

After half an incense stick of time, he turned around tiredly and shook his head, saying, "Dad, I only met that thief once before, and... and my attention was drawn to his hair. I... I really couldn't recognize who the thief was."

"brush!"

At this moment, Gui Tou Dao, who was standing in the crowd, suddenly took a step forward, clasped his fists weakly and said, "My Lord, looking at the entire Bulao Mountain, anyone who has seen me, Gui Tou Dao, knows that I have been losing my hair since I was a child, and my hairstyle is different. This obvious physical feature is not considered any evidence at all. Master Wu, if I was the one who committed the crime, how could I have revealed such a big flaw?!"

General Feng replied, "Why didn't you say that before?"

"I'll fuck your eight generations of ancestors, and all the women in your family! I wanted to say it, but did you give me a chance?" Gui Tou Dao looked at him, cursed in his heart, then knelt on the ground with a thud, and shouted with an aggrieved expression: "I said it when I was arrested. Someone must have framed me, and they must be familiar with me, or even someone close to me."

"I suggest that we investigate who was alone when the incident happened today. That person is most likely the real thief."

Gui Tou Dao knelt on the ground, clasped his fists, and slowly glanced at Ren Ye.
