Chapter 425 Contents
It was not until sunset that the boy who had been taken away finally came back. The whole person, head and tail, collapsed on the ground as soon as he returned to the backyard of Zhenpinxuan.
The shopkeeper dismissed everyone and personally helped him into the room, "What's going on?"
The boy grabbed the hot tea that the shopkeeper gave him and drank several sips before he cried tremblingly, "It's terrible!"
The shopkeeper was very worried.
"What's going on? What's so scary?"
The little boy cried and breathed in and out.
"Shadow, Shadow's cell is too scary. When they were interrogating, they were like devils! They didn't even dare to write about hell in the book, but they dared to interrogate like that. No wonder they say that if you enter the Shadow, you will lose your skin even if you don't die. terrible!"
The shopkeeper looked at his little boy's unharmed appearance and frowned: "Did they show you the interrogation process?"
The young boy wiped away his tears and nodded, "Yes, from the shopkeeper."
The boy wanted to express his surprise, but the shopkeeper was not interested.
"Interrogating whom?"
The young boy said: "I don't know who it is, but I heard that it is related to the massacre at the Rongyang Marquis Mansion."
The shopkeeper's heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat. He licked his lips unconsciously and pretended that nothing had happened and he was just curious, "Rongyang Marquis Mansion?"
"Well, I heard that the survivors of the Rongyang Hou Mansion were found. The survivors identified the murderers. Shadow arrested the person based on the survivors' identifications. The person being interrogated today is the murderer who was just captured. one."
The shopkeeper had never expected that he would hear such a sentence. He was so shocked that he was breathing heavily and almost stumbled backwards and hit the corner of the table behind him.
"survivor?"
He tried his best to keep his composure and not look so emotional.
Fortunately, the young man was quite frightened today and was still shaking slightly. He was so immersed in his own fear that he didn't realize how ugly his shopkeeper's face looked at this moment.
The shopkeeper took a few deep breaths, held the table with his hands and sat firmly on the chair next to him, "Are you sure you are a survivor of the Rongyang Marquis Mansion?"
The young man leaned back weakly on his chair, "Yeah, sure. I heard someone mention it during the interrogation inside."
"Did you mention the identity of the survivor?" the shopkeeper asked impatiently.
The young man shook his head, "I didn't mention that. Their focus is on interrogating the murderer."
After drinking about a pot of hot tea, the boy finally felt a little relieved, and his originally cold hands became a little warmer.
Asked questions that were puzzling.
"Sir, tell me, they are interrogating prisoners, why do you want me to watch them?"
The calm that had been maintained on the shopkeeper's face suddenly disappeared.
Why!
Why!
The boys at Zhenpinxuan are all street children he has adopted over the years.
Either they were victims of disaster in their hometown, or their parents didn't want them. In short, they were all innocent little pitiful people.
There's absolutely nothing Shadow wants in these guys.
Now, Shen Li took Xiao Jia away in this way and made him watch such an interrogation. Of course, it was to spread the word!
Shen Li told him clearly that Shen Li already knew something about him.
What is this doing?
Advise him to be more understanding and honest? Or threaten him to provide clues? Or.
The shopkeeper didn't dare to think about it any more. The more he thought about it, the more his heart beat like thunder and he became frightened.
He was restless and simply got up and wandered around.
"You were in the shadow cell and you only saw the interrogation? Did you see anything else?"
The young man shook his head, "They took me directly to a room. I had a small window in that room, and I could see the torture room across from the small window. I sat in that room for the whole day, and there was no interrogation there. I was released."
"What did they say?"
"No, no one talked to me from the beginning to the end. I was sent back as soon as I was taken out."
The shopkeeper's face was ashen.
This time the young man finally noticed something was wrong with his shopkeeper's expression, "Shopkeeper, has something serious happened?"
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, shook his head quickly, waved his hands, and said with a smile: "What can happen? Our Zhenpinxuan has always done serious business. Let alone black accounts, we have never even done tax evasion."
The boy looked at the shopkeeper with a very direct expression on his face: Then why do you look like you've seen a ghost?
The shopkeeper coughed dryly and said, "Don't you think this is strange too? OK, why did Shadow capture you to see that thing?"
The little boy then muttered: "Who says it's not? This can't be said to be some mid-year promotion organized by Shadow. Let's thank the new and old customers for their feedback and the easter egg lottery."
The shopkeeper glanced at the boy.
He could still make a joke, so it seemed like everything was fine.
A person who has no worries is happy!
The little boy was okay, so the shopkeeper sent him away, "Hurry back and go to bed. Xiao Ding is going on a blind date tomorrow. You and Xiao Yi will stay in front, and nothing will happen!"
The boy rolled his eyes and got up from the chair, "He's on another blind date. This is the forty-fifth time. It's endless. He doesn't want to get a wife. He obviously wants to go on a blind date."
The shopkeeper didn't want to talk nonsense with him and pushed him out.
"Don't go out and talk nonsense about today's matter."
The young man nodded, "Don't worry, I'm a very strict person!"
As soon as the boy left, the shopkeeper closed the door and his whole face sank.
What should we do now?
Should he pretend that he didn't receive any signal, or should he rush over there and send a message?
No, I can't communicate.
What if Shadow is waiting for him to communicate? If he goes, he will fall into a trap.
But if he doesn't communicate, what if Shadow finds him?
The fact that Shadow's people can take Xiaojia away today is enough to show that they have found out what happened that year. Regardless of whether they have found out everything, at least they know part of it.
What does Shen Li mean?
What does Shen Li mean!
Who can tell him what Shen Li means!
Damn it!
Zhou Huaishan, you damn well better show your wisdom!
What should I do!
The shopkeeper's eyes turned red with anxiety, his forehead against the door, and he was panting.
His internal organs were about to smoke.
Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed in his mind.
The person who took Xiaojia away today was Zhou Qing, not Shadow's people.
What is Zhou Qing's identity? She is not only the wife of Shadow's leader, she is also Zhou Huaishan's daughter!
Although this Zhou Huaishan is not the same Zhou Huaishan as Rongyang Hou, they have the same name after all.
Did Shen Li arrange this to send him a signal?
No hostility.
Indeed, Shen Li is a royalist, and Rongyang Hou and the emperor had a deep relationship back then.
So, even if Shen Li found out what happened back then, even if he knew there were still survivors in Rongyang Hou's mansion, he would not harm them.
So what the hell should he do now!
With his fists clenched, the shopkeeper slammed the door hard, and then took out a jade pendant.
