Chapter 27: Interrogation

Illusory Fragrance is extremely domineering, refined with the unique technique of the Three Mystical Sect, colorless and odorless, and its shape is almost imperceptible.

As the smoke quietly sneaked in, the breathing sound coming from the room began to change, gradually becoming heavy and rapid.

After a while, a few faint moans rose, tossing and turning, mournful and lingering, making people's hearts ripple.

But Liu Xiaolou and Wei Hongqing outside the house had no heart to ripple, but waited patiently. After a while, when the sound became more rapid and almost connected, Wei Hongqing turned over and went down, reaching out to push the door.

The door bolt broke with a "Pa" sound, and the door was pushed open quickly. Liu Xiaolou reached out and scooped, instantly scooping up the two broken pieces of the door bolt and putting them aside.

There was no one in the main room and the east wing room, only the west wing room occasionally made intense movements.

Liu Xiaolou drew his Three Mystical Sword and carefully lifted the curtain of the west wing room. There was a woman on the bed, twisting like a snake.

Wei Hongqing whispered: "It's his lover."

After subduing the woman, the two came back out and searched the other rooms, but they did not find Lu Zian.

Wei Hongqing came to the courtyard and made a "coo-coo" sound. Before long, Zuo Gaofeng, Tan Bazhang, and Xishan Xishan Xishan Jushi all arrived.

The woman on the bed was controlled by Wei Hongqing, but her body was still twisting and moaning, making Zuo Gaofeng and Xishan Xishan Xishan Jushi swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva, both asking: "What's going on?"

Wei Hongqing laughed: "Gave her some medicine."

Tan Bazhang said: "How about, Junior keeps watch for Brother Zuo and Xishan Xishan Jushi?"

Zuo Gaofeng and Xishan Xishan Xishan Jushi's hearts moved, eager to try.

Wei Hongqing scolded: "Get out! What time is it and you're still thinking about this? All move, search again, Lu Zian is not here, see if you can find his whereabouts?"

Five people searched again, and each had discoveries. There were indeed clothes and utensils used by men in this courtyard!

Wei Hongqing said happily: "I've been watching this woman for several days, always seeing her sneaky, sure enough, it's as expected! Xiaolou, how long is the medicine effect?"

Liu Xiaolou said: "A quarter of an hour, it will wake up by itself when the time is up."

Wei Hongqing shook his head: "Can't wait."

Liu Xiaolou answered: "Then splash it awake with water."

Zuo Gaofeng carried a bucket of water in, appreciated the woman's posture on the bed with some regret, but finally splashed it on.

"Splash," the whole bed was wet.

Tan Bazhang and Xishan Xishan Xishan Jushi went out, each keeping watch outside the courtyard, one east and one west, ensuring no one disturbed.

The woman gradually woke up, soaked all over, but couldn't move, curled up into a ball on the bed, weak and powerless, shocked and angry.

Wei Hongqing pulled over a stool, sat by the bed, stared at the woman's eyes for a long time, and said: "You should know what we want to do. I will unseal your acupoints now, but don't scream, don't think about passing news to anyone, otherwise I will immediately break one of your toes, okay?"

Saying this, he reached out and grabbed the woman's left foot, pinching one of her toes: "What a beautiful foot, really can't bear to do it..."

As his finger strength increased, a look of fear appeared in the woman's eyes, and she cried out "Woo-woo" in a hurry.

Wei Hongqing stopped in time, his fingers didn't let go, maintaining the strength just now: "If you agree with my proposal, nod."

The woman nodded desperately.

"Very good." Wei Hongqing sent a trace of true qi, from the toe upward, and opened the acupoint that sealed her mouth. The woman retched, and then looked at Wei Hongqing panting. But the anger in her eyes disappeared, and only fear remained.

Wei Hongqing said: "I don't know if you know, Lu Zian caused a huge disaster, but I think, the crime does not involve the wife and children. Besides, you and he are not husband and wife, so there is even more reason not to involve you. Don't you think?"

The woman trembled all over, trembling: "Yes..."

Wei Hongqing added: "Of course, this requires a premise. I need you to tell me, where is he? I can guarantee that as long as you say it, I will never move a toe of yours."

The woman shook her head: "I don't know either..."

Wei Hongqing frowned: "I don't know what you are talking about. You don't need to know, it has nothing to do with you. Just tell me, where is he?"

The woman shook her head and said: "I don't know what you are talking about, you really saw it wrong."

Wei Hongqing sighed: "There are unwashed bowls and chopsticks in your kitchen, you went to the Hongji Restaurant in the market nine days ago to buy a jar of bamboo leaf green, and went to buy another jar yesterday, but I searched your house just now and didn't see the wine jar; you bought two pieces of cured meat at the Yang Liu Bay market five days ago, bought a pig head four days ago, bought a lamb leg three days ago, and you also catch three fish in the river every day. Can you finish eating alone?"

The woman cried and said: "I don't know what you are talking about, you really saw it wrong."

Wei Hongqing frowned, looked at Zuo Gaofeng, Zuo Gaofeng grinned, and Liu Xiaolou turned around and said: "I'll go out and watch."

Standing in the courtyard, Liu Xiaolou took a deep breath, borrowed the slightly blowing cold wind, and wanted to organize his thoughts, but was suddenly interrupted by a scream in the house. The scream was low and dry, coming from the lungs, but it seemed to be blocked, and could only burst in the chest.

Xishan Xishan Xishan Jushi poked his head out from the west wall of the courtyard and looked at Liu Xiaolou. Liu Xiaolou made a gesture to him, indicating it was okay, and he shrank back.

Stepping out of the courtyard gate, he strolled around the courtyard wall and saw a figure hidden under the canopy of a large tree from afar. It was Tan Bazhang.

Tan Bazhang found that his figure was seen through by Liu Xiaolou at a glance, so he shrank to the right, and this time he hid tightly and couldn't be seen.

Strolling around the courtyard, Liu Xiaolou slightly sorted out a clue. His uneasiness was actually not uneasiness, but envy. Envy came from the inner disciple of Tianmu Mountain that Wei Hongqing had always been unwilling to talk about? For this key figure, Wei Hongqing had always been vague, but Tan Bazhang seemed to have heard some of her situation and told Liu Xiaolou.

She was a widow, ten years older. If it were him, could he accept it?

Thinking and thinking, Liu Xiaolou didn't figure it out. Perhaps only when things really came to the head would he make a choice. As a rogue cultivator in Wulong Mountain, the admiration for famous sects and the desire to turn over were really an instinct.

When he jumped into the courtyard again, he saw Zuo Gaofeng push open the door and go to fetch water again. He shook his head at Liu Xiaolou: "This woman is stubborn, it's very difficult to pry open."

Liu Xiaolou went into the room to see that the woman had fainted. Zuo Gaofeng splashed another bucket of cold water on her, all on the woman, splashing the woman into a shiver, and she woke up again.

There were no injuries on her body, but with the means of Wei Hongqing and Zuo Gaofeng, they could make people want to die without leaving injuries.

Zuo Gaofeng grabbed her hair and pulled her up. She knelt by the bed, arched her body, straightened her waist weakly, and the cold water dripped onto the ground along her hair tips...

Liu Xiaolou looked at the water flowing and gathering under the bed, flowing into the cracks at the foot of the wall.

He pointed to under the bed: "There is a problem." ===== CHAPTER 28 =====
