The ice flow that had been left in the inner prison for years was beyond Chen Ji's imagination... He did not expect that there would be so many ice flows in the inner prison!

He walked in the corridor of the inner prison, watching the ice flows flow into his body, and the four fires blocked Dantian were shaking.

The gray ice flow was like a dragon, making roars that others could not hear in this dark inner prison, just like the unwilling soul trapped in the cage for a long time, and wanted to swallow all the Chen Ji.

They are the power that is sufficient to override power and power in this mysterious world, but are now being deprived of it little by little.

Chen Ji could feel the cold air coming out of his internal organs, but he did not dare to make anything unusual beside Yun Yang.

However, just as he and Yun Yang passed by a cell, they saw an oil lamp on the base of the wall with a Bagua array diagram engraved on it.

Chen Ji suddenly remembered the Bagua formation diagrams under the oil residue lamp when he was going down the stairs before... A lamp is a prison. If the lamp is not turned off, people will not die!

He quickly took off the oil lamp and held it in his palm!

In an instant, the ice flow in the dantian slowly retreated like a tide.

Chen Ji gasped slightly, and Yun Yang turned around in surprise: "What are you doing with this lamp?"

He responded: "This inner prison is too dark, and I'm a little uncomfortable."

Yun Yang sneered: "But unexpectedly, a person who dares to bargain with me is still afraid of the dark?"

Chen Ji didn't answer, he was just thinking about a question: Will the ice flow not dissipate after a person dies? Judging from the number of ice flows just now, it has definitely been accumulated for a long time.

No matter how cruel and ruthless the Secret Spies Department is, it will not kill so many people in the short term.

It is the function of the Bagua Formation Diagram!

It was because the inner minister was worried that he would kill too many people and might be entangled with unjust souls, so he used the Bagua Formation diagram to confine these souls in the inner prison. In this way, he had accumulated so many ice flows over the years.

Chen Ji breathed calmly: "Mr. Yunyang, please check the file for me. If you want to find clues, you don't have to look for them from the current case. Maybe there are still many secrets in the past case."

Yun Yang waved to the secret spy: "Give it to him!"

When the spies brought the file, they were filled with more than a dozen large wooden boxes.

Chen Ji took a book from it casually, and looked through it while inspecting the prison.

Yun Yang sat at a table drinking tea and waiting, while the secret spy followed Chen Ji.

Chen Ji walked to a prison door and asked, "The prison room No. 27, Jia, has been detained in Yuzhou's co-magistrate Liu Yaozu? Where is he at this time?"

The secret spy thought about what to call the masked boy in front of him, he hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Sir..., what is released in the file is to be alive and walk out of the inner prison. If nothing is written, he will die in it."

Chen Ji was sure that Liu Yaozu had died in the inner prison four years ago.

He walked to a prison door again: "Card No. 28, has Chen Mingzhuo, the chief supervisor of Luocheng craftsman?"

"Dead too."

Later, Chen Ji stopped asking and just muttered silently in his heart:

"The prison room No. 52 of Jiazi, Xu Jiawen, the governor of Guide Prefecture, died."

"The prison room No. 1, Ru Ning Prefecture, Tian Hailong, the magistrate of Shangcai County, died; Xu Dehong, the magistrate of Shangcai County, died..."

After counting it down, some people died in prisons, and some people died several times.

Chen Ji became more and more frightened as he checked. The files in his hand were like the life and death book in the Hall of Hell.

He turned over the file again. Some people from the corpses and officials who were hidden in the city were detained in the prison, but the prison room where these people were located did not have any ice flow.

He took a deep breath and finally got the rules of ice flow.

Those who can produce ice flow after death have only one common feature, that is: official!

...

...

The inner prison buried underground is like a huge cemetery. I don’t know how many people died in this dark place.

This is not a river and lake, but a place where the river and lake and court are buried.

Chen Ji stood in front of the prison room, with a spread file in his hand and a dark cage in front of him.

It took him about an hour to finally read all the files in the prison room of the characters Jia and Yi. The remaining ones were Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, and Gui. There was no need to read them anymore.

Chen Ji even dared to make a bold judgment that the ice flow obtained by Wan Xingyuan that night was indeed from Concubine Jing, and the royal bloodline was superior to others when it was born.

At this moment, Chen Ji stood in this depressed inner prison and felt a little absurd.

My own way of practicing is actually standing opposite to the entire Ning Dynasty. If you want to practice, officials and royal bloodlines must die!

Ning Chao held all the power of this dynasty, from the emperor to the minor official.

And you want to be enemies with it?

Yun Yang was right, indeed, he couldn't let others know what his cultivation path was... It was indeed very dangerous.

Yun Yang sat at a table, crossing his legs and knocking melon seeds. Seeing Chen Ji in the corridor stopping to think, he asked, "Have you found a clue?"

Chen Ji came back to his senses from the long-term exam: "Not yet."

Yun Yang frowned: "I went to pick you up in person, wasting an hour back and forth, and now I have been waiting for you for another hour, but in the end I said there is no clue?"

Chen Ji came for Bingliu and the file, and both of them were obtained, but he couldn't just leave.

He thought for a moment and asked, "How did Liu Shiyu die? Did you kill him?"

Yun Yang shook his head: "No, he couldn't stand the torture and hanged himself."

Chen Ji frowned: "Is his body still in prison?"

"Here, do you want to see?" Yun Yang was intrigued and threw the melon seeds in his palm on the table: "I'll take you there."

Yun Yang led Chen Ji to the depths of the inner prison. He actually went down the stairs several times and passed through several layers before reaching the deepest part. Chen Ji had even heard the sound of the underground river flowing.

"Here, it's just inside, there's only Liu Shiyu, a corpse," Yun Yang walked in with a torch.

Liu Shiyu is about 30 years old. She is slender, has fair skin, has white face, has a tongue spitting out, and has incontinence.

This is a typical sign of hanging and death, without any abnormalities.

Chen Ji saw the corpse and held his breath and felt uncomfortable.

Yun Yang joked: "I thought you were really omnipotent, why can't you even see the corpse?"

Chen Ji calmed down: "Mr. Yunyang, being able to indifferently examine similar corpses is not something worth bragging about... Liu Shiyu did not commit suicide, but was killed and silenced."

Yun Yang shook his head: "You were wrong this time. I killed a lot of people, so I have more experience in this matter. All his death signs are like hanging from death: I have helped many people hang them, and the hanger is pale, sticks out his tongue and has incontinence. This is not wrong. You may wonder, did he hang it after being strangled? No, the person strangled is purple in his face, and I am familiar with this."

"In theory, what Lord Yunyang said is right," Chen Ji nodded.

"Hmm?" Yun Yang was puzzled.

Chen Ji said: "But these can be forged."

The cause of death from hanging is that the carotid artery is blocked and the brain is deficient in oxygen.

Since the carotid artery is blocked instantly and the veins can work temporarily, the person who hangs will have a pale face, while the person who is strangled will have a crimson purple face.

Those who killed Liu Shiyu should know the principle, so they forged the illusion of hanging and dying: the tongue can be strangled, acupuncture can incontinence, and precisely strangling the arterial sinus can lead to pale complexion.

The other party is a professional killer who forged suicide, but the other party only missed one detail, foot.

Chen Ji explained: "The hanged man has his toes with his toes hanging, almost perpendicular to the ground. A zombie will appear in two hours, and even if he puts the person down, he will still maintain it. But look at Liu Shiyu, before he was strangled, his legs were kicked hard because of struggle, and his feet were fixed in different directions."

After hearing this, Yun Yang looked thoughtful: "Is that true? Let's go back to the A-shaped floor, take a death row prisoner over, and try it out!"

Chen Ji and others returned to the upper level, and he watched two secret spies drag a death row prisoner over.

The death row prisoner had already urinated his pants before he could hang himself.

Yun Yang sat at the table, sneering while eating melon seeds, saying sarcastically: "This is my civil servant in Ning Chao. He looks strong on the surface, but in fact he is vulnerable."

Chen Ji hesitated and said, "Mr. Yunyang, what is his crime?"

"I stolen the enemy and stolen the country, and I secretly tried to forge household registration and road letters for the Jingchao spies," Yun Yang turned to the secret spies and said, "Hold him on the roof, I want to observe it!"

Chen Ji wanted to say something, but finally chose to shut up.

The next moment, the spies used ropes to hang the death row prisoner on the roof and kicked away the stool under his feet.

In just a few seconds, the death row prisoner completely disappeared.

Everyone was waiting like this, and the corpse was hanging in front of them, but Yun Yang was drinking tea and eating melon seeds as if it was not a person who hung it up, but a pig.

Chen Ji only focused on reading the files to pass the time.

Two hours later, the secret spy took the body off the roof, and as Chen Ji said, his toes were straight.

Yun Yang praised: "I just hung up the person before, but I never took it down, and I didn't notice this detail!"

Chen Ji said calmly: "Someone wants to kill someone to silence the mouth, which means that there is a big fish behind Liu Shiyu. More than one of the Liu family members colluded with the enemy. The second house Liu obviously and the big house Liu Mingde are both suspicious."

Yun Yang frowned: "Liu Gun will return to Luocheng in a few days. If I have no evidence at this time, I will go to provoke the Minister of Personnel. Wouldn't you feel unhappy for yourself? You are not going to trick me into jumping into the fire pit?"

In the room, Chen Ji held the oil residue lamp, and the fire was pounding in his eyes: "How could it be, I still expect Lord Yunyang to promote me. But Lord Yunyang had also mentioned the harm of the Jingchao spy probe to the frontline soldiers before, why did he protect himself at this time?"

Yun Yang sighed: "You always have to learn from your mistakes and gain wisdom. In the past, you can only kill people, but you have just won the position of the twelve zodiac signs for half a year. What a pity if you lose it... It's not easy to be in the officialdom."

Chen Ji looked at the other party and asked sincerely: "Mr. Yunyang, you and Mr. Jiaotu are good at killing people. The inner minister is extremely smart. Why did he send you to do things that you are not good at?"

Yun Yang was puzzled: "Yes... Is the inner minister who wanted to use our murderous nature to kill the Liu family? The inner minister who sent us to kill people is to kill people, so what should I..."

He subconsciously picked up the teapot and wanted to pour a cup of tea for Chen Ji, but then he thought, it was wrong, he had only poured tea for his inner minister before!

He put the teapot back on the table: "But now even if I know that someone killed Liu Shiyu and silenced him, it would be difficult to catch the Liu family's handle. How should I continue to investigate?"

Chen Ji shook his head: "There are too few clues at present, and I don't have any good suggestions. But, Lord Yunyang, don't you think Old Master Liu is dying too strange? As soon as he dies, you will immediately fall into a passive position. My master was invited to go to the clinic, but the carriage he was riding broke halfway and didn't see Old Master Liu at all."

A thunder flashed through Yun Yang's mind: "Old Master Liu is likely not dead!"
