Chapter 208 Lightning and Flint

There was no wind in the secret room, the only door was closed tightly, and Chen Xiao's voice had disappeared, but Xiangzhu felt that the sound still existed, like invisible leeches, drilling into her ears and into her limbs.

The air around her was solidified, Xiangzhu's breathing became more and more rapid, and the pain in her body was like dormant bugs. At this moment, she was summoned to wake up, rushing to drill out of her body. She was in pain and wanted to shout, but found that she could not make a sound. She wanted to curl up, but she could only stand stiffly and unable to move.

Apart from the pain, it seems that this body is no longer hers. She cannot speak, move, or run... All she has left is pain.

Heart-wrenching.

Xiangzhu never knew that a person's body could hurt like this, and she didn't know why she hadn't hurt so much.

Let her die, just die. If she dies, she will not suffer from pain, and if she dies, she will be able to get off the pain.

She actually didn't know what relaxation was. She had never been relaxed since she could remember. She actually didn't know if she could really relax after she died.

Xiangzhu's mouth opened and closed, but she couldn't hear it. Only Chen Xiao's voice echoed in her ears. The sound became louder and louder, like gunpowder, exploded in her head, exploded...

Xiangzhu finally couldn't support it and fainted.

When he heard that Chen Xiao had taken Xiangzhu away, Hua Jingyao immediately came over.

She had been to the women's prison and recognized the house where Xiangzhu was imprisoned at first sight. This is not a prison cell, but a place for the women's prisoners to change shifts and rest.

Chen Xiao asked someone to move the tables and chairs inside and temporarily change them into a prison cell.

When Hua Jingyao saw Captain Yin standing outside the door, she asked, "Who is inside?"

Captain Yin whispered: "Second Master Chen and Xiang Zhu."

Hua Jingyao frowned, there was a difference between men and women, and there was a clear provision in the Dazhou Law that even if a female criminal was interrogated, there must be more than three people present.

There are only two people in the combined group of Captain Yin. The female criminal cannot be tried, and there must be another person present. What's more, the current situation is Captain Yin outside, while Chen Xiao and Xiangzhu are in the small dark room.

Besides, Xiangzhu has not been officially imprisoned. She is a maid and has a master on her.

Hua Jingyao looked at Captain Yin meaningfully, and made Captain Yin feel guilty and said with a thorn intent: "There are two female prisoners. They just walked away and came back in a while."

"Hehe." Hua Jingyao sneered.

Captain Yin felt that he must have offended Miss Hua, otherwise why Miss Hua would be serious about this matter?

Hua Jingyao ignored him and reached out to push the door.

But as soon as her hand touched the door, the door opened a crack, and half of Chen Xiao's face covered with a veil was exposed in the crack.

"poisonous."

There were two more words. After saying the two words, the door closed again.

poisonous?

Hua Jingyao was stunned. She sniffed and smelled nothing.

She remembered the veil that Chen Xiao had just covered his face.

Although Chen Xiao always takes out a veil to cover his nose, he doesn’t cover his face with a veil this time and dresses up as a masked man. What is he going to do?

Is this because it is poisonous?

So where is this poison?

In the flash of lightning, Hua Jingyao suddenly understood.

It's poisonous in the house!

Chen Xiao must have antidote medicine on the veil, so he did not let others enter the house.

This poison was given to him.

Hua Jingyao was so utterly impressed that Chen Xiao knew many strange things, especially various poisons, which he could tell by just a little smell.

Luo Jun said that he once bought a broken book from a Taoist priest in You Fang, which mentioned the mutual generation of ghosts. Therefore, until Chen Xiao recognized the mutual generation of ghosts that day, Luo Jun could not confirm whether the mutual generation of ghosts really existed.

In the last case of "The Strange Case of Luo Yingjun" in his previous life, Luo Yingjun learned that ghosts were born from the mouth of a dead soldier.

In other words, the one who told Luo Ruo to be a ghost in his previous life was not Chen Xiao.

So what about this case?

Hua Jingyao had long discovered that there was no record of this case in "The Strange Case of Luo Yingjun".

Linlin did not die in her previous life, and the murders of Chen Juren and Zhang Shanchang were discovered through her hands, so these three cases either did not happen in her previous life, or they did not happen or were exposed, so these three cases were not recorded in the "Luo Yingjun's Strange Case Record".

But why is the case in front of me not recorded?

At first, Hua Jingyao believed that it was because Luo Junji wanted to avoid suspicion, and the deceased Nie Yuanshen was a royal relative, so there was no such case in the book.

But now, Hua Jingyao feels that her original idea might not be right.

This case has nothing to do with her since the beginning, and she insisted on interfering with her when she is idle.

In other words, the reason why this case was put on the surface was not because of her rebirth, it had nothing to do with her.

Therefore, there must have been this case in my previous life.

The case has been investigated to this point, and it has expanded from one dead to four dead, and the mutual generation of ghosts is also an indispensable part of this case.

However, in his previous life, Luo Junzhu did not confirm that there was such a poisonous poison that ghosts were born from each other because of this case.

Could it be that in my previous life, no one found out that several of the dead in this case died of ghosts?

And in this life, Chen Xiao recognized the ghosts and was born together.

Therefore, Chen Xiao never appeared in his previous life, and maybe this case was not investigated according to the current step?

Since Prefect Li handed over the case to the eldest prince, the same should have happened in his previous life.

Thinking of the eldest prince, Hua Jingyao suddenly remembered something.

In his previous life, Zhao Qian entered the Eastern Palace for two reasons. One is that Princess Zhaoyang helped him and let him stand in front of the emperor and the empress dowager; the other is that the eldest prince and the fourth prince were all dead.

Before his death, the eldest prince had no chance of the throne, because something happened to him.

Hua Jingyao was unable to confirm whether the incident happened to the eldest prince in her previous life had something to do with Zhao Qian, but she thought about it carefully and found that the incident happened to the eldest prince in her previous life seemed to be at this time.

She was still very young at that time and didn't remember what the case was. Later, when she was in Guangxi, she heard A, B, C and D tell the story that when the eldest prince was in Shuntian Mansion, she tried a wrong case, which indirectly killed more than a dozen people. The public was resentful, and the censor impeached the emperor, and the emperor was furious, and the eldest prince was spared from his job in Shuntian Mansion.

When Hua Jingyao thought of this, a layer of cold sweat broke out all over her body.

How did the eldest prince investigate in his previous life and why did he harm more than a dozen people?

At this moment, the closed door opened again and Chen Xiao walked out from inside.
