When the member of the Zhen Gui Si uttered these words, everyone present cast their eyes over.

Zhang Si Xian was originally flipping through the information in his hands, and after hearing these words, he immediately put down the information and walked over.

Taking the books in the hands of the Zhen Gui Si member over, after scrutinizing them for a moment, his gaze slightly condensed.

“Seiryu Village?”

What was written on this was information about Qingliu Village.

“The household register on this is missing one?”

This was a household register, and on it was a name that had been scratched out with a pen, and there was a clear gap between it and the ones around it.

“Li Dogua?”

What was written on it was the three words Li Dogwa.

Zhang Si Xian continued to look at it.

After looking at it for a few moments, he was already certain that Qingliu Village was missing a person.

“The court conducts a household registration survey every year, but why would someone erase the household registration? This should have been done by County Magistrate Chen, right?” Zhang Si Xian asked.

The member of the Zhen Gui Si hurriedly picked up another piece of information and said, “This is the note that County Magistrate Chen had given to the higher authorities, and the reason was recorded on it, that there had been a person in the past, who was still a child at the time, and his name was Li Dogua, and then he inexplicably wandered away, and after so many years, his name was scratched off.”

Lost in childhood, the probability is that it can not be recovered, crossed out is also normal.

But now is an extraordinary time, this one suspicious piece of information, it attracted Zhang Si County’s attention.

“Old Xie, you guys continue to look for the information.” Zhang Si County called out to a few people, “A few of you come with me to Qingliu Village.”

Since he had the information, he stopped inking and took the people with him to rush off.

“Everyone step up your efforts and keep checking to see if there are any other suspicious places?” Sheriff Xie stayed behind to guard the house and hurriedly commanded.

The people didn’t dare to be slow, and continued to rummage through the information.

Zhang Si Xian led the people and went directly to Qingliu Village.

When the people of Qingliu Village saw the official lord coming over, they cowered and didn’t dare to come forward.

“Spread out and investigate properly!”

Zhang Si Xian droned.

The people nodded and spread out.

Zhang Si Xian found a seat and sat down, waiting patiently.

While waiting, he was still thinking about the news he had found out today.

After a while, the scattered Zhen Gui Si members finally converged.

“How is the situation?” Zhang Si Xian asked.

Soon, the members of the Zhen Gui Division told Zhang Si Xian all the news they had gathered.

After listening to all of it, Zhang Si Xian frowned slightly.

He summarized all the news and found that there was no useful news.

Regarding that Li Dogua’s matter, in fact, everyone inside the village knew about it.

Most of them also just said that they had somehow disappeared, which was why the household registration was scratched off.

“Are you sure everyone is saying this?” Zhang Si Xian asked.

The people nodded their heads in a hurry, indicating that they all said so.

Zhang Si Xian sat on a large rock, propped his chin on his hand, and thought carefully.

After thinking for a moment, he slowly stood up.

“Press all of them, all of them, into the Zhen Gui Division, the dungeon!”

The members of the Zhen Gui Division present were startled.

They didn’t understand why Zhang Si County was doing this.

What the dungeon was for, they knew better than anyone.

But this was just a group of people.

Zhang Si County sneered, “After so many years, everyone is saying the same thing, don’t you guys think it’s a bit of a rip-off, there’s only one possibility for this situation to occur, the people inside the village are helping to lie.”

The people present looked at each other.

Thinking about it this way, it seemed like there was really such a possibility.

Something that had gone missing since childhood, and over the years, some of the older generation here had also passed away.

It was impossible for the news to reach every household, and it was all clearly stated word for word.

This matter, how did it sound a bit problematic?

“Take it away!” Zhang Si Xian waved his hand.

The members of the Zhen Gui Si received orders and hurried to the corners of the village, driving the people out and towards the Zhen Gui Si.

The next few days were calm and quiet.

Zhou An was his usual self, living each day as he should.

In the morning, he got up and ate with Ye Frost.

After eating, he nodded off, livered his proficiency, and went home to sleep.

This was how his life had traditionally been, very regular.

Ye Frost had become a professional at dawdling breakfast.

Whenever it was on time, she would wait for him at the noodle stall.

The two of them would do nothing more than chat about family matters for a while.

Sometimes Ye Frost would also talk about his own adventures, but these so-called adventures were all useless in Zhou An’s opinion.

When you traveled with your identity and everyone knew that you were the disciple of the State Master, what was the use of traveling?

Of course, for Ye Frost’s pure character, this kind of training actually had a little bit of use.

At least it would allow her to see some local customs.

“No interrogation so far?” Zhou An asked as he took a bite of noodles in front of the noodle stall.

Ye Frost had been eating with her head down, and after hearing Zhou An’s words, she raised her head and shook it.

“No, those people seem like they really don’t know, I doubt that Zhang Si County has made a mistake in arresting them.”

The matter of arresting the people to go in for interrogation, Zhou An also knew about it, and that County Magistrate Chen had lost his temper.

It meant that the Zhen Gui Si had arrested the people without even going through his side.

Of course, Zhou An was holding the same thought that there was something wrong with this group of people from Qingliu Village.

“Alas, it doesn’t dare to be tortured either.” Zhou An sighed.

He learned from Ye Frost that Zhang Si County had not used the dungeon tactics on these people despite their determination.

Some threats and scare tactics didn’t seem to work on them either.

Ye Frost rolled her eyes, took a sip of noodle soup, moved her butt and sat next to Zhou An, staring with bright eyes.

“Zhou An, you have a solution?”

Zhou An spread his hands, “What can I do?”

He indeed had no way.

“Oh ……” Ye Frost let out an oh, “Anyway, I think there’s something odd, I used the talisman paper that specializes in making people tell the truth, and they said the same thing.”

The Inspection Division was extremely accurate in the matter of checking the truth.

Ye Frost had also used a lot of effort in this.

However, the results of the investigation were unsatisfactory, which was also the reason why Zhang Si County did not dare to use torture.

Other people monitoring division have found out what the people said is true, even if you have doubts, but also do not dare to mess.

People are held, but there is no result.

“Come on, I’ll go over and take a look tonight.” Zhou An said.

He still had to go and take a look, after all, getting rid of the person behind the curtain would be a guarantee for his safety.

Otherwise, there would always be a pair of eyes staring at him in the darkness, and he wouldn’t be able to sleep well.

Not to mention that the three ignorant cobblers are still the best of the best.

What if he could tell something different himself?

“Uh-huh!” Ye Frost nodded vigorously.

“Eat, after you finish, I’m leaving.” Zhou An knocked on the table.

Only then did Ye Frost continue eating.

After finishing eating, Zhou An paid the usual amount of money and went back to the Yamen to salty fish and practice his proficiency.

This liver, it went into the night.

“Old Yu, you go back alone, I still have something to do.” Zhou An greeted and left the county office alone, rushing towards the Zhen Gui Si.

The Zhen Gui Si was brightly lit.

Zhang Si County was now having a headache.

If he couldn’t find out any more useful information, his side would probably have to release the people.

There was no way, even Ye Frost from the Supervision Department hadn’t found out anything.

He can’t use torture either.

Because the Inspection Department said there was no problem.

The people were only suspected, and if they were tortured, the word would get out.

Emperor Xingwu could protect the people, believing that the people were the foundation of the country.

Even if he thinks it’s strange, he still has to trust the Inspection Department.

In this aspect, the Inspection Division could be considered an expert.

“I’m not willing to do this.” Zhang Si Xian thought in his heart.

With his experience in handling cases for so many years, he had a premonition that there was definitely something going on here.

If he really let it go like this, he was absolutely unwilling.

But the more he thought about it, the harder it was for him.

There was not much time left before the one month given, if this continued, this Town Gui Si of theirs, from top to bottom, would all be jacked up.

Zhang Si County sighed again.

Just at this time, the door was pushed open.

Zhang Si Xian looked up and his eyes brightened slightly.

“Zhou An, why are you here?”

The person who came was none other than Zhou An, followed by Sheriff Xie and Ye Frost, who had turned into a cold state.

“Lord Zhang, take me to the dungeon.” As soon as Zhou An entered the room, he went straight to the point.

Zhang Si Xian did not nag, and without saying anything, he went out and led the way.

The reason why he did not say anything was that he actually quite trusted Zhou An.

From the time he had known Zhou An until now, the things Zhou An had done could be said to have extremely amazed him.

This mysterious man was always able to save the day when the building was about to fall.

For some reason, Zhou An gave Zhang Si Xian an inexplicable sense of security.

Zhou An also saw Zhang Si Xian’s line of sight, and he silently took a step back and approached Ye Frost.

Ye Frost gave him a cold and clear look.

Zhou An coughed, “Lord Zhang, although you are magnificent, I am fond of women.”

Zhang Si Xian: “……”

If I hadn’t been unable to beat you, I really would have given you two punches!

The few people did not ink and soon arrived at the dungeon.

This was Zhou An’s first time coming to the dungeon of Zhen Gui Si, and everything was very new.

Not to mention, the dungeon was spacious and bright, especially since each cell was filled with people, if the bars of the dungeon were removed, it would probably be like home.

However, the people inside the cells were in a bad state, everyone had fear and exhaustion on their faces.

Zhou An walked up to one of the people and opened his mouth to ask a few questions, most of which were also related to Zhang Dogua of Qingliu Village.

But the answers received were all exactly the same.

And the expressions of the people were not exaggerated.

Zhou An did not give up and asked every single one of the people.

Every single one of the people said the same thing.

When he finished asking the last of the people, Zhou An stood in the corner and fell into deep thought.

Zhang Si Xian did not make a sound to disturb him, he knew that Zhou An was thinking.

After a while, Zhou An then lowered his hand.

“How is it?” Zhang Si Xian asked.

Zhou An thought for a moment, organized his words, and said, “Lord Zhang, in fact, your guess is correct, so many people have said exactly the same thing, it’s likely that they have conspired to make a confession, but have you guys ever thought that there is another possibility.”

Zhang Si Xian frowned and said, “What possibility?”

Zhou An’s gaze revealed a look of reminiscence, remembering a movie he had seen in his previous life.

It was a very good movie.

But there was one content in it that made him feel very similar to the present.

–Storing Memories.

There was a company that could store other people’s memories as well as bad memories.

The word memory in this gave Zhou An the deepest impression.

If …… he said if.

What if the memories of these people, had been tampered with?

Having had their memories tampered with, even with the means of the Inspection Division, they would all think that what they were saying was true, because subconsciously, they thought that what they were saying was true.

Thinking about this, Zhou An spoke out his thoughts.

When this idea was spoken, those present fell into silence.

Zhang Si Xian clapped his hands vigorously, “Why didn’t I think of this, it’s hard to tamper with the memories of people in the line of work, but to deal with ordinary people, it’s very simple!”

“Besides, the other party is a Water Burial Method and is good at simulation, they can completely simulate this ability!”

Zhou An said, “If my assumption just now is true, then it’s up to Mr. Ye in this.”

Ye Frost stared at him with a cool gaze and nodded silently.

It was a look as if he knew exactly what to do.

But only Zhou An knew clearly that Ye Frost was definitely panicking in his heart right now.

Ye Frost was panicking.

She had no idea what Zhou An meant.

But she trusted Zhou An.

Because Zhou An fed her every day.

Zhou An was a good person, even though Zhou An wouldn’t let her say that and said that the good person card wasn’t good.

But she did believe Zhou An.

As expected, just as Ye Frost thought so, Zhou An continued.

“With so many magical means of the Qi Practitioners of the Supervision Division, don’t they have a method to find or awaken their memories?” Zhou An laughed.

Ye Frost’s eyes did not change.

She was witty and went along.

“There is.”

Between her fingers, a piece of talisman paper surfaced.

“This talisman can lead to other people’s memories, but …… there is a drawback.”

Ye Frost hesitantly said, “It requires a child man or woman to be able to, as for the reason, it is also very simple, because other people’s memories are easy to influence the mind, and you need to have a pure yang or pure yin physique to resist it.”

“I meet the requirements, but to cast the talisman paper, there is no way to enter ……”

Saying this, Ye Frost searched on the three Zhou An people.

Zhang Si Xian raised his hand and said, “I’m so old, it’s normal that I’m not a boy, right?”

Ye Frost looked at Sheriff Xie again.

Sheriff Xie coughed, “In my early years, Xie Mou was also a handsome teenage boy, and naturally had a fling …….”

If the scar on his face was ignored, the credibility might be a bit higher.

Ye Frost once again skipped over Sheriff Xie and looked at Zhou An.

Not only Ye Frost, even Zhang Si Xian and Sheriff Xie, all cast their eyes over.

Zhou An’s scalp was numb, and he said stiffly, “Two old shameless guys, don’t you understand that there is no woman in your heart, drawing the sword is naturally divine, and on the first page of the sword manual, the person of your choice is chopped first?”

Zhang Si County and Sheriff Xie looked at each other, not understanding the meaning.

Ye Frost seconds to understand, cold and clear: “Understand, you are a boy.”

Zhou Antong kind of coldly said, “You are still a child girl.”

Ye Frost continued cold and clear: “But I want to host the talisman paper.”

Zhou An: “……”

He felt that it was not useful at all to argue about these things with a silly girl.

“Start.”

Nowadays, solving the problem earlier was the most important thing.

“Uhm ……”

Ye Frost began to explain the matters after entering the memory.

It was actually quite simple, this kind of talisman could only target ordinary people, and could uncover the latent memories of ordinary people.

After going in, Zhou An was a bystander and couldn’t change anything at all.

After explaining the situation, Zhou An found an older people to target.

Such older ones knew more.

Ye Frost said, “Zhou An, sit cross-legged.”

Zhou An did as he was told and sat cross-legged in front of the cell.

The talisman paper in Ye Frost’s hand burned.

This time, it burned slowly.

Green smoke curled up and surrounded Zhou An and another people.

The eyes of the people being surrounded were terrified and soon fell into a stupor.

Zhou An felt that the scenery around him was changing, and immediately after, he appeared in a small village.

The village was very ordinary.

Zhou An took a general look at it, and the layout was very much like Qingliu Village.

In front of him, there was a tiger-headed child who was sitting on the ground, holding a volume of books in his hands and looking at it carefully.
