Holy Bone

Chapter 704

Jiangzhou Prefecture is so prosperous that there is even more than one prison, for example, there is a prison in the south of the city.

As soon as the three of them arrived at the prison in the south of the city, they almost bumped into a jailer who was running out with his head bowed in a hurry.

"Xiao Si, you ran out with a look of dismay, did something happen in the prison?" Wang Butou stopped the jailer.

The jailer named Xiao Si looked up and saw that it was Wang Butou, and immediately panicked: "Wang, Wang Butou, something is wrong, Shi... Shi..."

The jailer was terrified. When he finished his speech, Wang Butou, Jin An, and the old Taoist all changed their expressions. The third housekeeper of the Song family, Shi Zhiping, escaped from prison last night. No one knew how Shi Zhiping escaped from prison. At noon, when the prison guard delivered the meal, he found that the cell used to detain Shi Zhiping alone was empty. He was about to report the matter urgently when Catcher Wang arrived.

In the prison with turbid air, several people stood outside the cell door, seeing that the cell door was in good condition, pointing out that the thick iron railing did not show any damage or signs of picking the lock, they all frowned.

Although Shi Zhiping's spine was broken by Jin'an and his lower body was disabled, the Yamen did not dare to be careless and locked Shi Zhiping, a criminal wanted by the imperial court who had been murdered a lot, in the depths of the prison with the strictest guards. The way out is also guarded by government servants at every level. Unless someone robs the prison and kills the jailer, it is impossible for a living person to escape silently.

Especially since Shi Zhiping is still a disabled person with lower body paralysis, it is impossible for him to leave by himself.

"Who were guarding the prison last night? Call them all together. I want to ask all the details of last night one by one." Wang Baotou looked serious, seeing that the prison door was not damaged, and people disappeared by accident. The first thing he thought of was There are jailers responding to the robbery.

Wang Butou went to question the jailer, while Jin An and the old Taoist stayed where they were and continued to investigate the cell.

There are many dead people in the prison and the atmosphere is heavy, and strange things often happen. This time the situation is different from the situation of the dead in the prison in Chang County. There are no dead people this time.

"Old Taoist, what do you think of this matter?" Jin An touched the cold iron railings with his fingertips to check whether there were any abnormalities in these iron railings.

"Little brother, do you mean this cell? Or the disappearance of the third housekeeper of the Song family? Or the slit hole?" The air in the cell was turbid and the smell was unpleasant. The old Taoist covered his nose with his index fingers, and spoke in a husky voice.

Jin An turned his head: "Old Taoist, you are asking knowingly."

The old Taoist couldn't hold his breath. He first took a few deep breaths with his mouth, and then said solemnly: "Little brother, have you noticed a detail? The corpses we dug out from the coffin shop and the corpses we dissected were all sewn up. Eyes, but there is one detail, the expression of the corpse in the coffin shop is longing, and Wang catcher said that the expression of the corpse dissected by Wu is frightened, and I feel that this seems to be raising the corpse according to human emotions..."

After hearing the old Taoist's answer, there was no surprise on Jin An's face. Obviously, he also noticed this facial detail.

"The third housekeeper of the Song family is now the only survivor. If we want to find out the truth, it seems that he is the only clue." Jin An frowned.

"You can also start from the source of the corpse. I will ask the old Taoist later, where did the corpse in the Yamen come from?" the old Taoist added.

Yes, Jin An nodded.

At this time, Jin An had already checked the cell. The old Taoist curiously asked Jin An if he had discovered anything new, and Jin An shook his head.

"Could it be that the third housekeeper of the Song family really escaped? Through a wall? But it doesn't make sense. If you know these spells, why should you be reduced to being a kidnapper in the green forest." The old Taoist wondered.

Looking at the funny-looking old Taoist priest who was covering his nose with his fingers and would take a big gulp of air like a bullfrog when he said a word, Jin An laughed out loud: "Isn't it normal for people in the Jianghu to know some bone shrinking skills? What I'm curious about is that Shi Zhiping has been deposed by me, how did he get out of the prison in full view? And why did he sew his eyes shut?"

While the two were discussing, Catcher Wang over there had already finished interrogating the jailer who was keeping watch last night, but found nothing.

Jin An: "Did Shi Zhiping behave strangely last night?"

Wang Butou: "There is such a thing. Last night, Xiao Si delivered food to Shi Zhiping. Shi Zhiping asked the time again, and then happily said that the time is up. It seems that something good is about to happen. A He just sat and laughed all the time, and ignored Xiaosi... Xiaosi didn't take this matter too seriously, and left after delivering the lunch, but when he came to deliver lunch the next day, he found that Shi Zhiping had disappeared out of thin air .”

Hearing that Shi Zhiping was laughing all the time, Jin An's eyes sank, and the old Taoist really hit the spot. There were already three emotions of joy, anger, worry, thought, sadness, fear, and shock.

The clues on the prison side were temporarily cut off, and the three of them rushed to Writer Liu Wu without stopping.

The reason why Jin'an didn't go to writer Liu Yu first was because Wang Butou said that Liu Yuzuo would go crazy and have pica only after sleeping in the daytime and at night.

On the way, Jin An also learned that the source of the corpse in the yamen was left by a Taoist who dug up the grave and refined the corpse, but the Taoist was already dead, and the corpse stinks in the house for several days, and was later reported by the neighbors who smelled the corpse. official.

As soon as I came to Writer Liu Wu, I saw several yamen servants guarding here, tying Liu Wu as a five-flowered man under the big tree in the courtyard to expose to the sun.

As Catcher Wang said, Liu Yuzuo slept during the day and was tied to a tree and exposed to the sun without feeling it. His whole body was cold, just like touching ice.

At the first glance, Jin'an could see that there was a dark cloud covering Liu Yuzuo's Yintang, and a black aura was approaching from his nose, indicating that he would be cornered and a catastrophe would happen in the near future.

Obviously, this catastrophe was caused by unclean things.

Jin An: "It's useless, first carry him into the house."

Those yamen servants looked at Wang Butou, and seeing Wang Butou nodded, they untied the hemp rope and put down Liu Yuzuo.

When entering the house, Jin An noticed that the threshold of the house was crushed by tooth marks.

Wang Butou said with a solemn expression: "The master of the Qingxuan Taoist Temple invited the four great generals to the town house, and pasted a piece of talisman paper on each of the four corners of the house, which seemed to call the town house to commit the four evil talismans... That night, Liu Yuzuo did it. He didn't get sick again, and he was still in a coma, but the next day, Liu Yuzuo woke up, and rushed to the threshold in a frenzy, biting the threshold with his mouth full of blood, and couldn't stop it. That was the night , the master of the Qingxuan Taoist Temple set himself on fire and committed suicide."

Hearing this, the old Taoist frowned into a pair of Sichuan characters: "This is evil spirits that have entered the brain, affecting the mind, and becoming crazy even in the daytime. That's why his body is always cold under the sun. A sign of warmth."

"The next step is brain atrophy and necrosis. At that time, there is no way to recover. Even if the evil energy in the body is driven away, it will never wake up."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Liu was so sad that she almost fainted. She knelt down and begged Jin An and the old Taoist priest to save her man, but they quickly helped her up and promised to do their best.
