Chapter 544: Overnight Interrogation

There is a specialty in the arts; ordinary practitioners might be at a loss. Moreover, this young man seemed to be on the path of martial cultivation. He He Lingchuan took the cloth doll and didn't have any other movements, very simply stuffing it into his lapel, as if what Bai Bai Ziqi threw over was silver, and he collected it casually.

He even patted it twice.

As a result, Bai Bai Ziqi saw the stag beetle group on the ground stop.

Each one was fixed in place like a sculpture, not even their feelers moving.

"Please untie their restraints." He He Lingchuan also wanted to know what method Bai Bai Ziqi used to control these unruly insects.

As a result, Bai Bai Ziqi took out a horsetail whisk from his bosom and flicked it lightly at the insect group on the ground.

A gust of wind blew by, and He He Lingchuan always felt that something had been blown away from the stag beetles.

Only then did they fly up in twos and threes, circling around He He Lingchuan.

He still didn't understand the other party's method.

Fortunately, Bai Bai Ziqi probably didn't figure out his routine either.

He He Lingchuan took the cloth doll out of his bosom again and shook it at the insect group, "Go home, there's nothing fun outside."

The insect group rushed toward him with a "whoosh."

To be precise, they rushed toward the cloth doll.

He didn't know how their huge bodies squeezed into that small seam, in short, it was about a few dozen breaths of time, and there wasn't a single stag beetle at the scene, all returned to the nest.

Bai Bai Ziqi couldn't help but applaud, "Not bad, interesting! How did you do it?"

"Cheng Yu didn't tame the Insect King either, he just took a shortcut."

"Oh?"

"He used the evil ghost he raised to control the Insect King." He He Lingchuan laughed, "Otherwise, it doesn't seem very easy to get close to the Insect King."

In his Panlong City team, there was a beast tamer named Old Yu, who said that beasts between ordinary wild beasts and monster beasts were the hardest to tame; their spirituality had already opened, so they were a bit cunning, but they didn't know the times.

Among them, the hardest was raising insects.

Because it was very difficult for you to communicate effectively with them.

Cheng Yu probably encountered this problem too, so he took a shortcut directly.

He He Lingchuan was able to tame the Insect King quickly, also by learning from his method.

Who told him to have the Soul-Absorbing Mirror? Who let the mirror raise two evil ghosts? The mirror collected the evil ghost on the Insect King, and then released one of his own running dogs to replace it. The stag beetle king had a simple brain, no thinking ability, only a little bit of a spoiled temper.

Controlling this kind of possessed object, the evil ghost in the mirror said it was not difficult, and the stag beetle king was quickly appeased.

He He Lingchuan put away the cloth doll calmly, "Thank you for Envoy Bai's gift."

Bai Bai Ziqi looked at him carefully for a while before saying, "Cheng Yu losing at your hands is not unjust."

He He Lingchuan could only laugh.

He could feel that Bai Bai Ziqi dealt with these two people with ease, not using much effort at all.

Actually, he wanted to trade the insect nest cloth doll for the white-gold candle; that thing looked more useful.

But He He Lingchuan felt that Bai Bai Ziqi wouldn't agree. After all, this was a treasure of the Zhaixing Tower, so he had better not ask for trouble.

At this time, the government runners caught up from behind and put runic shackles on the two fugitives.

This pursuit case that shocked the whole city finally came to an end.

Bai Bai Ziqi exhaled and patted his sleeves. The government runners led the spirit deer over and invited the Envoy to ride.

Watching his back being surrounded by the crowd and moving forward, He He Lingchuan's mouth raised a little smile.

The giant snake transformed by the Lamp Spirit was indeed difficult to deal with.

Bai Bai Ziqi's supernatural power was indeed stronger than expected.

But the method he just used, Bai Bai Ziqi also didn't see through! The good show was still to come.

￥￥￥￥￥

He He Lingchuan waited for another half an hour after returning to Baishajuan before Fu Fu Shanyue returned from the north.

"Fortunately, Envoy Bai and you went to the west road!" Fu Fu Shanyue heard that Cen Boqing had been captured and also let out a long breath, "If this guy had slipped away, he would definitely stay far away from Between Beijia and never return to the country! Hmm, where is he?"

"Brought back to the county government office by Envoy Bai, along with Cheng Yu." Speaking of Cheng Yu, He He Lingchuan always felt a bit uneasy. "The interrogation hasn't started yet, and Commandant Lu has also sent people to guard him. Envoy Bai said he would interrogate him with you in the morning."

"Heh, at least he still remembers." Before splitting the troops to pursue the murderer, Fu Fu Shanyue and Bai Bai Ziqi had made a three-chapter agreement that no matter who caught Cen Boqing, they would interrogate him together.

After being covered in dust for half the night, everyone had to go back to remove the dust and change clothes, and Fu Fu Shanyue even called He He Lingchuan to go for a late-night snack.

However, the personal guards under Commandant Lu suddenly rushed over to report, "Envoy Bai has gone to the county government office. Also, that Cheng Yu you caught has woken up."

He He Lingchuan's heart chilled.

Could it be that Bai Bai Ziqi wanted to interrogate Cheng Yu? A mere curse master, what connection could he have with the monster-hunting and pearl-taking case? Why couldn't Bai Bai Ziqi wait even a few hours and had to interrogate him now? The method He He Lingchuan used to defeat Cheng Yu last time couldn't be told to outsiders, so he had a guilty conscience.

"Cheng Yu woke up?" When they brought Cheng Yu back, this person was still unconscious. That hit from the white fireball transformed by the Lamp Spirit was too hardcore, and the Ever-Bright True Fire seemed to have some restraining effect on Cheng Yu's curse.

"Woke up. On his last breath, but still able to speak."

He He Lingchuan looked at Fu Fu Shanyue, "Is this appropriate?"

Fu Fu Shanyue thought for a while, "He is interrogating that curse master, not Cen Boqing, so it doesn't count as breaking the agreement."

He was not interested in Cheng Yu.

He He Lingchuan immediately said, "The key person in this case is Cen Boqing, but Bai Bai Ziqi wants to interrogate Cheng Yu overnight; don't you think it's strange?"

"Hmm, it is a bit strange." Fu Fu Shanyue stroked his chin, "Those people from the Zhaixing Tower, I have dealt with them a few times before; they have to bathe, change clothes, offer incense, and worship gods if they have nothing to do, and they are not active in doing anything else."

The one surnamed Cheng was already a prisoner, so why did he have to interrogate him overnight? "The content of his interrogation of Cheng Yu, he doesn't want us to know?" Fu Fu Shanyue's eyes rolled.

He He Lingchuan knew he had a rebellious bone, so he reminded him, "Didn't you say that this Envoy Bai might have other plans?"

Fu Fu Shanyue was startled.

He had long suspected that Bai Bai Ziqi had other purposes for coming south, and now he wanted to interrogate the curse master behind his back. Could it be that the one surnamed Bai was secretly targeting their father and son, wanting to find some handle?

The relationship between the Chi Yan nation and Lingxu City had not been very harmonious in recent years, and his father had submitted memorials one after another recently, publicly exposing the private refining of the immortality medicine, which even alarmed the gods; the Emperor must be furious.

At this moment, an owl fell from the night sky, lifted its wings, and bowed to Fu Fu Shanyue.

He He Lingchuan guessed that this was probably the one in Uncle Da's team, which had originally gone to the Golden Spring Elegant Residence to capture Fu Fu Shanyue. It was just that in the eyes of humans, owls all looked the same, and he didn't know if he had recognized it wrong.

"Crown Prince, the eldest daughter of the Grand Minister of Agriculture, Yao Yao Xingning, arrived suddenly at the Cen residence, beat two of Commandant Lu's soldiers, and rushed into the residence; no one dared to stop her."

"What?" Fu Fu Shanyue was startled, "Yao the Fierce is here?"

He He Lingchuan still remembered that when he went to visit Xiang Yan, the old man said it was fortunate that Cen Boqing's wife didn't come, otherwise this case would be even harder to handle. Look, now that the case was about to be closed, she had rushed over.

Fu Fu Shanyue had just returned from outside the city, and his mount hadn't even been unsaddled, so he directly led it out and mounted it, "Go, go to the county government office! I want to see what medicine Bai Bai Ziqi is selling in his gourd!"

When he gets willful, how could he care about night or day? Anyway, the entire Baishajuan was stirred into a chaotic mess tonight; why care about one more night ride?

He He Lingchuan also mounted the rock sheep and went with him. Watching Fu Fu Shanyue's back as he galloped ahead, he always felt that he wasn't going to question Bai Bai Ziqi, but to hide from someone.

The streets in the middle of the night were unobstructed, and several riders galloped all the way, soon arriving at the entrance of the county government office.

He He Lingchuan's face also tightened. He must know what answer Bai Bai Ziqi dug out from Cheng Yu.

As a result, just as the two walked to the entrance of the county government office, Commandant Lu happened to step out of the threshold, looked up and saw Fu Fu Shanyue, was startled, and hurriedly saluted.

Was it already over? He He Lingchuan's heart tightened, "How was Envoy Bai's interrogation?"

"Alas, Envoy Bai just went in and kicked me out."

Fu Fu Shanyue strode inside, as if no one else was there.

Such private interrogations were all conducted in separate rooms, not in the public hall. Anyway, Fu Fu Shanyue entered the one with the brightest lamp, and the attendants at the door didn't dare to stop him.

Inside, there was only one large bed and one chair.

A patient was lying on the bed, looking sickly, and the one sitting on the chair was none other than Bai Bai Ziqi.

Fan Sheng stood behind him.

In the four corners of the room, four white candles were burning, the flames vertical and motionless.

"Aiyo, Envoy Bai, you've worked hard; you have to interrogate without stopping after catching the criminal!" Fu Fu Shanyue stepped in, all smiles, "Who is this guy?"

He saw at a glance that Bai Bai Ziqi hadn't even changed his clothes.

Was he that urgent? "Curse master Cheng Yu." Bai Bai Ziqi looked at him and said gently, "Crown Prince, please sit."

Although his expression was gentle, when the Crown Prince of Chi Yan arrived, he didn't move his butt at all, sitting steadily.

He didn't even stand up.

He He Lingchuan watched coldly from the sidelines, gaining a direct understanding of the status of the so-called "Envoy." Because Fu Fu Shanyue didn't seem to mind either; attendants moved over two chairs, and he sat down casually, sitting directly below Bai Bai Ziqi.

The separate room was not big, and now two people were forcibly squeezed in, and attendants had to turn sideways to enter and exit.

Fu Fu Shanyue sat down and asked, "What is special about this person that Envoy Bai would personally inquire?"

With Bai Bai Ziqi's status, he could make the patient kneel to see him. But he came to interrogate personally and even acted very concerned; Fu Fu Shanyue felt at a glance that this didn't look like interrogating a criminal.

"I haven't interrogated Cen Boqing yet, thinking that the Crown Prince should also rest after returning to the city."

Bai Bai Ziqi pointed out the agreement between the two, and incidentally glanced at Commandant Lu. There were Fu Fu Shanyue's ears and eyes everywhere here, and he had only interrogated Cheng Yu, and hadn't even asked two preliminary questions before the Crown Prince arrived.

From the inn to here, if Crown Prince Yue hadn't galloped on horseback, how could he have arrived so quickly?

"Envoy Bai is trustworthy, but I really shouldn't let the Envoy work alone while I sleep soundly." Fu Fu Shanyue rubbed his nose, "Besides, this guy cursed my special envoy, so I want to hear him testify against Cen Boqing!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he tied Cheng Yu and Cen Boqing together, and then immediately pointed at He He Lingchuan and turned to ask Cheng Yu, "Do you know who he is?"
