As night falls, the cold and impersonal city gradually falls into darkness.
Xunji, Shulingchu Building.
The two underground floors are places where spirits are broken.
The lights were on in the corridor, and the closer you got to the rooms deep in the corridor, the more subtle screams you could hear.
Like muffled roars, countless people were tortured here. Such sounds are normal to the people living here.
Chu Zhou stood at the door, his face a little unhappy. Listening to the noise coming from inside the door from time to time, his originally cold face now had a layer of frost.
Deputy Team Poling came to his side and said a few words to the man, "Home Team, Qiu Yuerong is here."
Chu Zhou turned around and saw the person coming out of the elevator. Qiu Yuerong was wearing a light gray casual suit with a high ponytail tied behind his head. He looked clean and neat.
"What brought you here?" Chu Zhou looked at her and asked.
Qiu Yuerong stood up straight in front of him, folding her hands on her chest. During the confrontation between the two, her momentum did not diminish at all, "Let me ask you when do you plan to release Yun Zaichun?"
There were a lot of rumors outside that Yun Zaichun had been detained at Shu Ling for three days for no reason. For these three days, let alone an external explanation, Chu Zhou did not even give an internal explanation.
"The person captured by Po Ling will not be dealt with by Mie Ren anyway." Chu Zhou only glanced at Qiu Yuerong, obviously not intending to explain this matter.
Qiu Yuerong raised her arms to block his way, "The Shuling Department is one, and the Pursuit Department is even more so. In the past two days, many people have come to kill the wind to put pressure. Since you want to do it, you shouldn't involve us."
Nowadays, there are constant rumors in Xunji, and many aristocratic families in the imperial capital have begun to put pressure. The Yun family's reputation is there, and it is not something to be trifled with in the first place.
Yun Han is famous all over the world and has disciples all over the world. If he doesn't have to do some things, there will be people who will do it for him.
So in the past two days, many powerful and famous people came to Mie Ren and Sha Feng to explain when to release Yun Zaichun.
The head of the Chai Department is now hiding from people, and those people can't find Po Ling, so they naturally go to Mie Ren and Sha Feng.
Thinking of this, Qiu Yuerong wanted to curse people wildly.
"You have the right to decide what kind of people you see and who you don't see. No one can interfere." Chu Zhou said calmly.
The implication is that they put people in and asked for trouble themselves. Who can they blame?
"Okay, now I'm asking this question for myself. There are rules for how things are done in the Ling Shu Ling Department. Even when arresting people and detaining them, there are certain rules. If no substantive evidence can be produced to prove guilt, the detention cannot exceed
Twenty-four hours, and now people have been locked up here for three whole days. I want to know how the main team of Chu thought that they could do such a thing?"
Qiu Yuerong finished these words in one breath. If Chu Zhou hadn't acted according to the rules, the entire imperial capital would not have been shaken by now.
It won't be involved in their work of killing Feng.
People from the Yun family cannot be detained casually. It would be fine if he could produce substantial evidence, but the problem is that he arrests people without any evidence.
Isn't this an obvious way for people outside to gossip?
"Are you sure you're not asking this for someone?" Chu Zhou looked at her coldly.
"Chu Zhou, the pursuit team is one. If Po Ling's reputation is ruined, it will affect our other two teams. If Yun Zaichun's matter is that you still have no evidence and are still pursuing it, I can forgive you.
You, but if you detain people for personal reasons, don't blame me for being rude." Qiu Yuerong's words were serious, with a consistent serious attitude.
When the two people's eyes collided, there seemed to be scattered sparks of fighting, and the deputy team member on the side stepped back unconsciously.
Although they knew it was unlikely to start a fight here, they couldn't afford to offend these two bosses.
It's better not to get close at this time.
Qiu Yuerong snorted coldly and turned around. As soon as she walked out of the corner, she heard the sound of the door opening behind her.
She subconsciously looked back and saw the person coming out of the room where the sinful spirits were kept.
"Minister Lin..." She quickly dodged and hid.
How could the head of the chasing department, their immediate boss, who had been avoided by people outside for the past two days, come out of the interrogation room?
And the person detained in that interrogation room must be Yun Zaichun.
"Remember, people must not die." Minister Lin looked at Chu Zhou and ordered.
"I understand, don't worry." Chu Zhou nodded in agreement.
After Minister Lin left, the deputy team member looked at the people in the room with a solemn expression.
"Home team, the minister seems to have used Soul Split..."
"Shut up." Chu Zhou interrupted him.
Seeing the gloomy look on his face, the deputy team member automatically swallowed back the second half of his sentence. Although the main team member refused to speak, it seemed that the minister was really ruthless.
Qiu Yuerong, who was standing at the corner, took two steps back. Just now, the deputy team member wanted to say that it was probably Minister Lin who had used the Soul-Splitting Curse.
The old man was able to sit in this position not only because of his age. How could he become the head of the chasing department without two brushes?
The Soul-Splitting Curse is a curse that was improved by Lin Changzi himself and used for interrogation. The person who is cast by the curse will not have any scars on his body, but he will suffer soul-splitting pain that is thousands of times the physical pain.
Few people can bear such pain. Although it is not fatal, it can make life worse than death.
After Qiu Yuerong returned to the third floor, she kept her head down and thought. Minister Lin has rarely interfered in the affairs of each team in these years.
Most of the time, when something went wrong, they were arrested and the home team went over to scold them. They were usually busy on vacation and did nothing, but this time they intervened in Yun Zaichun's affairs.
There must be something fishy in it.
"Home team, what are you thinking about?" A young man in a dark blue uniform came over and asked strangely when he saw her frowning.
"Jingyu, has anything happened in the department these days?"
The young man looked at her with confusion on his face, "What are you referring to?"
Seeing the confusion in his eyes, Qiu Yuerong patted her forehead and said, "Forget it, just prepare to go to Sunda Ji with me."
In the past few days, Xunji's security and patrol manpower have increased, but they have not been able to catch anyone useful in the matter of Mingyang Tomb.
Therefore, most of the work of Xunji has been handed over to Shafeng, and they have been very busy recently.
"Home team, logically speaking, you should have the best chance of catching Hong Zhi." Jingyu suddenly said something in front of her.
"Don't say such things, hurry over." Qiu Yuerong urged.
On the way to Xunji, Qiu Yuerong was thinking about one thing. If Minister Lin was involved in Yun Zaichun's matter this time, it would be an order from above.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the old man who just eats food and doesn't care about other people's business to do such a thing to cause trouble when he is full.
She suddenly thought of something. When she followed Chu Zhou to investigate in Yinjue Academy, he had suspected that Hong Zhi was among the students enrolled.
Yun Zaichun's sister happens to be one of the new students this time.
There can be no correlation at all among them.
…
At the entrance of Yunzhai, all the street lights at the door are on after nightfall, and Yunzhai is always brightly lit.
It was quiet in Tingyu Pavilion. Mu Qian sat under the willow tree in the courtyard. There was a chess table in front of her. She stared at it for a long time, but she still couldn't make a move.
Mo Yun put the coat he had brought over her shoulders, "It's been cold at night these days, Miss Second, please don't catch a cold."
Mu Qian said thank you and continued to look down at the chessboard.
Seeing her like this, Mo Yun smiled and said, "If the young lady can't untie it, why don't you go find the old man and have a look."
She has been staring at this chessboard for almost two hours.
"Please help me go and see who's back?" Mu Qian said.
Mo Yun obediently walked out of Tingyu Pavilion and was taken away from Yun Zaichun. Now three days and three nights have passed, and the Yun family is still as busy as ever.
But the difference is that even Yunjing has gone from being calm and calm at the beginning to becoming a little anxious now.
Ning Jin and Wen Hao also came here several times, trying to find ways to save people.
Mu Qian has also thought about a lot of issues in the past few days, and they all ended up in the same place. If this matter had anything to do with Fu Yunliu, why did he suddenly attack the Yun family after having tolerated it for so many years?
He could only be confident that Yun Han's body could no longer hold up. Coupled with the failure of the Pure Demon Tower, he urgently needed to get what Yun Han had in his hands.
"I just looked, except for Mr. Big..." Mo Yun looked at the empty yard, full of doubts, "Second Miss?"
He was here just now, why is he gone?
Where were you going this late at night?
Come out of Qingyuan, walk along the stone bridge over the lake, and go to the main hall, which is the main door of the Yun family.
However, the yard is too large. The rare chrysanthemums planted on both sides are in full bloom, and the white and yellow colors fill the air with the atmosphere of autumn.
Plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums can be found in the huge cloud house. The most beautiful plum grove is in the south of the house. When the plum blossoms are in full bloom in winter, it has a unique flavor.
Two figures passed by the stone bridge one after another. They wore a windbreaker outside their straight suits to block the coolness of the autumn night.
"Old man, please walk slower." Uncle Gao stepped forward and supported the old man.
Yun Han coughed twice and then gently pushed him back, "I'm fine."
Uncle Gao saw that the old man's expression was not right, so he couldn't help but said, "Do we really not need to find Mr. to accompany us?"
Whether it’s Yun Jinghang or Yun Jingyu, it’s good to have one of them accompany the old man when he goes out.
"No one needs it." Yun Han held his body and coughed a few times.
Uncle Gao understood what the old man was thinking and could only obediently accompany him forward. But as soon as he reached the door, he saw the person standing in front of the car.
Mu Qian leaned against the car door and stared at the two people opposite.
"Second Miss?" Uncle Gao called.
Yun Han looked at the girl in front of the car and couldn't help but sigh, "What are you doing?"
"I should be asking you this, what are you doing when you go to see Fu Yunliu alone in the middle of the night?" Mu Qian stared at the old man.
If she were in Yun Han's position and things had turned out like this, she would definitely try her best to save Yun Zaichun.
Therefore, it is most useful to have a good talk with the initiator.
"Let's go." Mu Qian reached out to help Yunhan.
"You want to accompany me?" Yun Han looked at the child in front of him.
Incredibly smart and alert.
Mu Qian replied without raising his head, and said it as it should be, "Otherwise, how can I feel relieved when two old people go out in the middle of the night?"
The two old men looked at each other and smiled. Uncle Gao stepped forward and opened the car door.
The place where I made an appointment with Fu Yun was in the mountains to the east of the imperial capital. It was a tea house that had been established for decades. It only accepted VIP users, and all the tea cakes it produced were only sold to specialized people.
As soon as Mu Qian stepped in, she smelled the faint fragrance of tea in the air. It was the unique fragrance of vegetation, the smell that can be smelled when tea leaves are roasted.
At this time, logically speaking, this store should have been closed long ago, but the lights that should be on are still on.
Uncle Gao helped Yun Han through the door, and under the guidance of the waiter, he went to the box. In the middle of the hollow wooden screen was a splash-ink painting of a landscape.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw a man sitting cross-legged on the futon. He slowly put the freshly ironed ice porcelain teacup with a tea clip.
Brown tea soup and white smoke fell from the teapot, and the old man just said something calmly.
"Senior brother, sit down."
A sentence of "senior brother" seems like a world away.
Uncle Gao helped Yun Han sit down opposite him and stepped back respectfully.
"I thought you would bring your nephew here to talk to my uncle this time, but I didn't expect you would be alone." Fu Yunliu glanced behind him.
"It seems that I have only met your youngest son, but not your eldest son. I have only met Zai Chun and Mu Qian among your grandchildren." Fu Yunliu chuckled softly when he said this.
Uncle Gao's face was cold. He mentioned the eldest young master at this time, which was obviously a provocation.
"Such a good boy got involved in the Yishan incident. I originally thought he was also a peaceful and gentle boy."
"Bang." The tea cup in Yun Han's hand made a moderate sound when it came into contact with the table, "Don't tell me nonsense, how can you let Zai Chun go?"
Fu Yunliu chuckled softly, "Senior brother, is there some misunderstanding? Zai Chun was captured by the Shuling Department. This Shuling Department is not under the control of our Yinjue Academy."
"You think I don't know that nearly half of the colleges in Shuling Department are from Yinjue College, and many of these half of the students are your confidants." Yun Han bluntly pointed out what he had learned over the years.
deploy.
Fu Yunliu stared at him and laughed out loud, "I am the dean. Students who graduate from here find good places to go, all over the world. It is too far-fetched for you to look at this and say that I have ulterior motives."
Yun Han raised his hand, took a document from Uncle Gao, unfolded it and pushed it in front of him.
After just one glance, Fu Yunliu's originally generous and elegant face suddenly turned gloomy. It would be fine if the name on it was obviously related to him.
Some of them were even hidden clues that he had laid down long ago and had not yet been used.
"How do you have this list?"
"Do you think I have really done nothing with the threats against you over the years?" Yun Han stared at the person opposite, "You are too ambitious, and it will eventually come back to bite you."
Mu Qian, who was standing close to the wall at the door, heard the words inside clearly.
Unexpectedly, Fu Yunliu had placed many people in the Shuling Department over the years. No wonder he could make the Shuling Department detain people. I was afraid that the words of the director of the Shuling Department would not be of any use to him.
Fu Yunliu sneered, as if he was confident, "So what if you have this list, you can't threaten me, senior brother, I advise you to hand over the things as soon as possible, otherwise I can't guarantee that the child Zai Chun will be safe.
Can you survive the spirit-breaking interrogation?"
"Three days have passed. You don't really want to watch your own grandson die, do you?" Fu Yunliu added at the end.
Yun Han had no intention of letting go, "If you don't let Zai Chun go, then let's try and see whether you collapse first or I collapse first."
Fu Yunliu smiled slightly and filled up the tea for him.
"Senior brother, I know your character very well. You claim to be a clean person, so what despicable methods can you use?"
These are just painless methods.
People who are too upright are always useless.
"Perhaps I can give you a way out. As long as you can help me catch Hong Zhi, I can let Zai Chun go."
Yun Han's hand holding the cup tightened, "Hong Zhi?"
"Master has taught me all the tracking skills. Among all our brothers, your tracking skills are the most powerful, and your formations are also the most powerful. I believe that my brothers can do it."
