Dongdu Pavilion Case Record

Kunlun is dangerous, and it is difficult to send ordinary letters, but Dongdu Pavilion has contacts with various martial arts sects, and has a special pigeon system.Therefore, Wen Tao's letter was delivered by Tang Wuyi via the pigeon in Dongdu Pavilion, and there was a reply in a few days.After Tang Wuyi received it, he handed it to Wen Tao, and the two opened it together. Wen Tunan's first-hand Mrs. Wei's lower script was delicate and elegant, and she was more muscular than Mrs. Wei.I saw the letter read:

...Yu once heard of a secret technique in the Western Regions when he traveled to the countries of the Western Regions a few years ago. The practitioner is good at manipulating people's hearts, and can spell spells or ornaments to make people fall asleep quickly, without the practitioner being aware of it.Yu also searched all over the Kunlun collection, and found in a volume of "Strange Records of the Western Regions" that this technique was recorded by predecessors, named Zhu Youshu.This technique is harmless, and it may be used to stop children from crying and help them fall asleep.As for the implementation steps of this technique, each person is different, or spells, or spices, or decorations.The decoration method is very popular, and a small object is tied with a rope or a chain, preferably a pure color ball, or silver, or glazed.When performing the spell, lightly shake the ornaments in front of the caster to make them feel relieved. Staring at the swinging objects, or adding incantations, or counting, can make people fall asleep quickly.This technique is performed by ordinary people, and the success is five or six out of ten. It is especially effective for women and children...

"So there is such a technique!" Tang Wuyi said, "The indigo glass pendant is very similar to the description of Taoist Qing Xuzi. If Xia Houhuan really masters this Zhu You technique, use the glass ball to put Su Ranran to sleep first, and then use the glass ball to put Su Ranran to sleep. It makes sense to ask Yang Yunzhang to come here under the pretext of letting him fall asleep quickly, and then poisoning them with meth."

"Yeah." Wen Tao nodded, but the eyebrows still did not open, "Then how did Xiahou Huan learn this Zhuyou technique? She was only five or six years old when she was adopted by Master Xiahou."

Tang Wuyi thought for a while and replied: "This technique is not harmful. It is sometimes used to help children fall asleep. It should be used when she was a child when her clansman coaxed her to sleep. She remembered it and practiced it frequently later on."

Wen Tao nodded, still puzzled, and asked, "Is this Zhuyou technique really effective?"

Seeing his seriousness, Tang Wuyi smiled heartily and said, "If you don't believe me, let's try it."

Wen Tao nodded, and the two came to the relatively dark interrogation room suitable for sleeping. Tang Wuyi held the end of the silver chain of the glazed ball in his hand, and gently shook it from side to side in front of Wen Tao's eyes. Wen Tao stared at the ball, and gradually only This piece of indigo is like the night of Kunlun, and everything around it is gradually blurring.

He heard Tang Wuyi's gentle voice next to his ear and said slowly: "Taotao, relax, look at this ball, I count to ten, you will fall asleep, look at the ball, relax, ten, nine ..."

Wen Tao's eyelids have begun to close a little.Tang Wuyi was secretly surprised, but still counted in a softer voice: "Eight, seven, six..."

Wen Tao's eyes were closed, but his head was still supported by his hands, and his long eyelashes fluttered slightly.Tang Wuyi was a little distracted, and said in a softer voice: "Five...four...three...two...one"

Wen Tao's head was already resting on his arm, his breathing was slow, and he was already asleep.Tang Wuyi never thought that this technique is so useful that it can really make people fall asleep easily.It was the first time he saw Wen Tao sleeping, his skin was like frost and snow, even translucent with a cool tone.The bridge of his nose and brow bones are particularly high, and his eye sockets appear to be deep. At this moment, his whole face is shrouded in a soft shadow.

Tang Wuyi didn't want to wake him up immediately, and waited for a stick of incense before pushing Wen Tao to wake him up.Wen Tao opened his eyes, still a little confused.Only then did Tang Wuyi discover that Wen Tao's eyes are round and round, which is a common eye shape for men from the Central Plains, but his nose and eyebrows are actually much higher than those of Central Plains men, but usually only notice his pair of star eyes .

Seeing Tang Wuyi staring at him, Wen Tao said, "I'm really asleep? Tang Yue, what are you looking at?"

Tang Wuyi asked: "Wen Tao, has anyone ever told you that you look like a barbarian?"

Wen Tao thought for a while: "It's probably because Kunlun is closer to the Western Regions. I grew up without father or mother, so it's not impossible to have some Hu people's blood. Hey, did I really fall asleep? Why don't I know anything about it?"

"You really slept fast. I haven't finished counting ten, but you've already slept soundly." Tang Wuyi smiled.

"Master's letter said that the success of this technique is five or six out of ten. If you can't succeed with one blow, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of the subject. Tang Yue, you should try it too." Wen Tao said seriously.

"Okay." Tang Wuyi handed the glass ball to Wen Tao.Wen Tao drew a gourd in the same way, waving the indigo colored glass ball in front of Tang Wuyi's eyes, while gently letting him relax while counting.But after all, Wen Tao is not as good as Tang Wuyi dealing with all kinds of people all the year round, he has always been indifferent, so he speaks more stagnantly.Tang Wuyi was very cooperative, keeping his eyes on the glass ball, but Wen Tao counted to twenty, but Tang Wuyi's eyes became clearer, as if he was going to stare directly at Wen Tao through the glass ball.

Wen Tao counted to fifty, and finally gave up, wondering, "Why haven't you been cast?"

Tang Wuyi shook his head hesitantly and said: "At the beginning staring at the glass ball, I was in a daze for a while, but once I gathered my mind, I didn't feel that way anymore. But Taotao, you are very cute shaking the glass ball to lull me to sleep of."

Wen Tao was depressed, so it seemed that he was not good at performing spells, unlike Tang Wuyi who succeeded once.

Seeing him gloomy, Tang Wuyi explained, "I have been in dangerous situations all year round, and even when I sleep at night, I will pay attention to the movement around me. Your master said in the letter that this technique is especially effective for women and children. In other words, it may not be for strong men. I guess the success of this technique is also related to the temperament of the subject, if you are soft-hearted and trust others, it may be easier to succeed; on the contrary, if you are cautious and untrustworthy, it may not be easy to perform the technique."

"But I'm also a man." Wen Tao protested.

"I already told you that you are a child." Tang Wuyi laughed.

Wen Tao became more and more depressed and ignored Tang Wuyi.

"Okay, let's get down to business. This technique really exists, and it really has a certain effect. The glass ball was found at Xia Houhuan's place, so all the evidence matches up. She should be the murderer without a doubt."

Wen Tao heard him talk about the business, immediately got into the mood, nodded, and suddenly remembered something: "What did you say to Xia Houhuan when you interrogated everyone on the first day? Did you suspect that she was the murderer? Otherwise, why did she commit suicide that night? "

Tang Wuyi shook his head: "I don't know the answer to this matter either. The first day of interrogation didn't have much direction, but just asked everyone to explain their whereabouts on the day of the crime. I remember Xia Houhuan's answer was natural and there was no difference. "

"Maybe you mentioned something unintentionally, which happens to be related to the murder case, making her mistakenly think that you have the evidence."

"It's possible. Let's look at the transcript of the first day's interrogation."

The two got up and just walked out of the interrogation room when they saw a woman hesitating at the door.
