"

Huofeng scratched his head and thought about it carefully, "I didn't see any bones... I just took a look and turned around and ran away... Ah, that's right!"

Huofeng clapped his hands and said, "There are so many vines in there!"

"Vine?" Zhan Zhao asked, "Is it Moxin Vine?"

Huo Feng nodded, "That's it. It's everywhere. It's a bit disgusting to look at it."

"This tree vine and bats are related..." Gongsun seemed to have an idea, "Maybe I can give it a try."

…

Back at the Yamen, Zhan Zhao went to tell Mr. Bao what he had just discovered. Gongsun put the cage on the stone table in front of the Miaomiao Building, took the Mo Xin Vine that Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang had brought back, and put it into the bird cage.

.

When Zhan Zhao came back from Master Bao's study and walked into the yard, he saw a group of people surrounding the cage, discussing.

Zhan Zhao walked over and took a look, and saw two injured bats in the cage, biting the ink vine. If you look closely, the bats' necks were moving, as if they were swallowing...

"Ah..." Zhan Zhao also understood instantly, "No wonder he always appears with Mo Xinteng, is it because he is food?"

Everyone nodded - the food looked delicious.

"But just now the proprietress of Bufang told me that this black ink vine is poisonous. Doesn't it matter if a bat eats it?"

Gongsun kept touching his chin and said, "I have a bold idea."

Everyone looked at him.

Gongsun dragged Zhao Pu over. At this moment, everyone saw that the Ninth Prince had many pieces of paper stuck on his body.

Zhao Pu narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled, seeming to be in a good mood.

Bai Yutang recalled that the location of the sticker on Zhao Pu was the location where the knife marks were carved on the relief of Yun Baoer on the wall.

Gongsun pointed to these marks and said, "The murderer may have pierced the places where he was bleeding."

Everyone frowned, "Bloodletting?!"

Gongsun nodded, "If you cut something like the neck, blood will spurt out, making it difficult to collect. Aren't those corpses all kneeling? They might have been tied up like that and then hung up. Put one under the chest.

bucket, and then poke a few times at these locations, the blood will flow out quickly and be collected in a bucket. The murderer's knife skills seem to be getting more and more messy, with more and more wounds, but he is actually trying to speed up the bleeding.

Speed, in order to make the blood in the bucket fresher."

Everyone looked sympathetic when they heard this - these oirans had offended someone, and the murderer was too cruel.

"So the oiran was killed just to collect fresh blood?" Zhan Zhao thought about it and felt that the oiran case and the ghost car case might have the same purpose... The oiran also left a bloodless body, and the person who disappeared in the ghost car case that year was

Not even the body was found.

"Is someone collecting blood to feed the bats?"

Gongsun nodded, "This kind of bat may indeed be that kind of giant mandrill. But it must suck fresh blood to grow to that size. The red juice in the ink heart vine may be used as a blood substitute to keep the bat alive.

.But the toxins in the vines will hinder the growth of the bat and prevent it from growing big."

Everyone felt that Gongsun's idea was probably right. Did someone raise this kind of mandrill in Kaifeng City back then? And there were two waves of them, one before the late emperor ascended the throne, and another before Zhao Zhen ascended the throne... But it was obvious

Before the late emperor ascended the throne, he grew older... Considering that there were more people missing in the ghost car case, it seems quite reasonable.

Now that we have the idea, the question comes again: who caused these two waves? What is the use of raising those mandrills?

There should have been at least one large mandrill back then, the one Che Kuai saw. Where did that mandrill go?

And what kind of existence is the headless general Wang Gao who killed Mandrill in this case? According to Wang Feiyu, Wang Gao seems to be particularly concerned about the well, so is he hunting Mandrill?

The three brothers of the Wang family all wore ghost car pendants, and the flying mandrill attacked the ghost car again... It felt like a chain within a chain.

In the end, the two emperors were more or less related to the case and eventually became the only suspects.

…

At the same time, in the palace.

Zhao Zhen sat at the stone table in the garden, looked at the red tiles that Nangong put on the table, frowned slightly, and asked Nangong, "Are they the same ones used by the Ouchi guards?"

Nangong nodded.

Zhao Zhen stared at the tiles in a daze for a while, and finally sneered, "It's interesting..."
