Chapter 248 Disguise
"Ah-ah-ah-" Zhou Yan was speechless and could only yell "Ah-ah-ah" anxiously, trying his best to express his anxious mood.
Zhang Xiwu and his daughter Zhang Pingping also stared at Chu Ci intently, their faces full of nervousness and anticipation.
Chu Ci sighed deeply in his heart and said seriously: "The mute poison in Zhou Yan's body is very complicated and can be divided into two types. The first one was injected 20 years ago. The poison has penetrated into the bone marrow and is difficult to eradicate. The second one was injected half a year ago. The poison is relatively new, but it should not be underestimated."
Originally, he wanted to use the poison Zhou Yan had been poisoned with to make him tell the truth, but he never imagined that twenty years ago, Zhou Yan had actually been poisoned with a mute poison?
Even the experienced and usually calm Purple-Robed Envoy looked embarrassed at this moment, his brows furrowed tightly, and he fell into deep thought.
Zhou Yan was equally shocked. His eyes flickered slightly, revealing his barely concealed surprise and panic.
Although his movements were extremely subtle, Fan Jingrui, who had been watching him closely, still noticed them keenly.
Fan Jingrui's eyes moved slightly, and he thought of a possibility, and immediately threw this difficult question to Zhou Yan.
He stared at Zhou Yan with burning eyes, speaking earnestly and sharply: "Zhou Yan, fate is unfair, and you can't speak. Then why were you drugged again half a year ago? What is the hidden story behind this? Do you have any guesses?"
"Ah——" Zhou Yan's expression was excited, his eyes were wide open, his facial muscles were trembling, and veins on his forehead were bulging, as if the anger and pain in his heart were about to burst out.
"Pen and ink--" Upon seeing this, Fan Jingrui turned around without hesitation and shouted directly to the embroidered-clothed law enforcement officer beside him.
Soon, pen and ink were brought up quickly.
Seeing this, the purple-robed envoy immediately ordered, "Untie Zhou Yan."
"Purple-robed Envoy?" The embroidered-robed law enforcement officer guarding Zhou Yan showed some hesitation. The purple-robed envoy snorted coldly and said in a stern voice: "With so many of us here, are you afraid that he will run away?"
"Yes." After being scolded like this, the two men held their breath and untied the ropes on Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan, who was freed, picked up a pen without any hesitation and listed out clearly and orderly what he knew and guessed.
There are so many clues, and it will undoubtedly take a lot of time to verify them one by one.
However, the portrait of the contact person he drew did not require such trouble!
"Are you sure that the person who has been in contact with you all this time is him?" The purple-robed envoy looked at the portrait of the contact person drawn by Zhou Yan and couldn't help but frowning, feeling that something was wrong.
There was no other reason. It was just that the person in the portrait was clearly recognized by the Purple-Robed Envoy at a glance. This was none other than Zheng Cheng, the eldest prince's personal bodyguard.
You know, as the eldest prince's personal bodyguard, Zheng Cheng has been almost inseparable from the eldest prince since leaving Beijing three months ago.
Especially during the time when they were rushing to southern Xinjiang, they traveled all the way with a tight schedule, sometimes even traveling day and night without stopping.
Under this circumstance, how could Zheng Cheng meet with Zhou Yan every seven days?
Even so, after careful consideration, the Purple Envoy still decisively ordered the people around him: "Quickly bring Zheng Cheng here, and let Zhou Yan identify him in person to determine whether he is real or fake."
The reason why the eldest prince on the periphery did not participate in the interrogation was to avoid suspicion.
But I didn't expect that a huge black pot would fall from the sky without any warning.
Such an outrageous reason.
The eldest prince was immediately furious. His face instantly became extremely gloomy as he looked at the person who came to report the news. "Let's go. I want to see how that mute slandered me."
How could he stop the innocent person who reported the news? How dare he stop him?
The final result was that Zheng Cheng was brought here, and the eldest prince also came with him.
But there is no most outrageous, only more outrageous.
The moment Zhou Yan saw the eldest prince, he pointed at him without hesitation and wrote quickly: "I have seen him before. He is the mastermind behind all this."
If the eldest prince can still endure at this time, he would be a coward.
Without saying a word, the eldest prince rushed forward and started punching and kicking him, shouting angrily: "You, an ignorant fellow, have slandered me. The person behind you didn't tell you my noble identity. How dare you slander me so wantonly? I think you are tired of living."
"Tell me, which idiot ordered you to slander me." If the eldest prince could still endure at this time, he would be a coward.
Without saying anything, the eldest prince rushed forward and punched and kicked him, shouting angrily: "You, an ignorant fellow, have slandered me. Didn't the person behind you tell you my identity?"
"How dare you slander me so wantonly? I think you are tired of living."
"Tell me, which idiot instructed you to slander this king?"
Zhou Yan knew in that deep secret passage that there were two princes among those who helped Zhang's father and daughter.
However, he never imagined that the face he saw at the end when he was secretly following the contact person would actually be the prince?
No matter how stupid he was, he could understand that if a prince took a fancy to the Zhang family, he didn't need to do anything. He just said a few words and the Zhang father and daughter would happily hand over their family wealth with both hands. There was no need to risk their own lives and use those despicable means to seize it.
After thinking through all this, how could Zhou Yan still not understand that he was already a discarded child who had been used up and then cruelly abandoned. "I have not wronged anyone. The person who meets me every seven days is indeed the one behind you."
Zhou Yan hurriedly lay on the ground and wrote rapidly.
Seeing that Zhou Yan was still stubborn, the eldest prince became angry and stretched out his foot to kick him.
But he was stopped by Chu Ci's voice, "Grand Prince, wait a minute. If Zhou Yan didn't lie, under what circumstances could there be two identical people in this world? There may be other hidden reasons behind this matter. I hope Grand Prince will think twice."
Now, not only the eldest prince, but even the purple-robed envoy had a cold and serious look on his face.
As those in a higher position, they naturally know best under what circumstances this situation would occur.
"Substitute?" The eldest prince and the purple-robed envoy blurted out almost at the same time.
However, once such a guess came up, the two of them subconsciously denied it. "Impossible."
The eldest prince frowned and explained, "I have never had a substitute by my side, and given Zheng Cheng's identity and responsibilities, there is no way he would have the possibility of having a substitute."
Chu Ci lowered his head and thought for a moment, then asked tentatively with some hesitation: "Is it possible that there is a disguise technique in this world?"
"Disguise?" When everyone present heard this word, their eyes instantly turned to Chu Ci's face, their eyes were full of confusion and curiosity, as if waiting for his further explanation.
