Chapter 536: Lying on the ground like a dead dog
Xie Yingmian kindly explained, "Doctor Qian happened to have a bronze mirror placed on his chest. Your flying knife pierced Doctor Qian's heart, but was blocked by the bronze mirror."
"The reason why your flying knife failed to be retrieved is also because of the bronze mirror."
"The cold jade silk you used to retrieve the flying knife is extremely tough. If it only pierces the heart, the cold jade silk will be able to withstand the force of retraction."
"In fact, your cold jade silk broke in the middle."
"This is because the flying knife got stuck in the bronze mirror, which was hidden in Doctor Qian's clothes. When you pulled the flying knife, you also pulled the bronze mirror. Doctor Qian covered the mirror, and the clothes blocked it. The force you pulled on it exceeded the strength that the cold jade silk could withstand, and the cold jade silk broke, resulting in your failure to retrieve it."
The man in black felt a pang of fear in his heart.
He had always wondered why the cold jade silk suddenly broke.
He had done the action of killing someone with a flying knife and then recovering it many times and had never failed - except this time!
The man in black believed what Xie Yingmian said.
The old man is still alive, which is extremely disadvantageous to them, so they must be notified in advance.
His hand secretly reached into his pocket.
Yu Lingye caught a glimpse of his movements and stepped on his hand.
Yu Lingye's strength was so great that with a slight snap, the black-clothed man's wrist was broken.
The man in black rolled his eyes in pain.
"Yu Lingye, you, you dare to do this to me, the Mu family will not let you go."
Yu Lingye ignored the threats from the man in black.
He stared at the man in black's arm.
There is a black tiger tattoo on his arm.
Looking at the obviously deformed black tiger, Yu Lingye seemed to be thinking about something.
After thinking for a moment, he turned to Xie Yingmian and said, "I remember his name. His name is Mu Hu."
"He has an older brother named Mu Long."
"Mu Hu and Mu Long are brothers."
"Do you remember the massacre of more than a dozen villages near Jianyun Mountain that we investigated earlier?"
Xie Yingmian nodded.
Of course she remembered.
That was also a case related to the Mu family.
Yu Lingye: "When the Six Criminal Divisions investigated the mountain village massacre, the Mu family army camped nearby, and the general at the time was Mu Long."
Xie Yingmian: "Mu Long is responsible for slaughtering the village, and Mu Hu is responsible for slaughtering the Feng family."
"They kill without blinking an eye, leaving no one alive. The Mu family army is just as vicious."
When she said this, her brows furrowed.
She remembered,
The eyewitness of the village massacre died suddenly for no apparent reason in the Six Punishments Department. Due to the death of the eyewitness, the case became an unsolved mystery.
It is obvious that the Mu family's power has infiltrated the Six Punishments Department.
Xie Yingmian said, "The witness in that case died of cardiac arrest in the Six Punishments Department. It was obviously not a natural death. There must be an insider from the Mu family in the Six Punishments Department."
"If this man named Mu Hu enters the Six Punishments Department, he will most likely be killed or rescued by an insider. We have to be on guard."
Yu Lingye: "That makes sense."
"Then temporarily detain him in Prince Ling's mansion and have Shen Tingsi bring the heads of the prisons from the Six Penal Departments to interrogate him."
Xie Yingmian showed her white teeth: "No need to go through so much trouble."
"He should confess soon."
Mu Hu listened to every word of the conversation between Yu Lingye and Xie Yingmian.
The more he listened, the more frightened he became.
Before he could get over the shock, he heard Xie Yingmian brazenly say that he would confess soon.
Mu Hu gritted his teeth and said, "Even if I die, I won't confess."
"I'm warning you, the Mu family..."
Bang!
Xie Yingmian kicked Mu Hu in the chin.
The same threats keep rolling back and forth like wheels. It's so annoying.
Mu Hu heard a snap and his jaw was dislocated.
The ligaments, muscles, and soft tissues around the mandibular joint are in severe pain.
He couldn't close his mouth, so it could only be half open, making indistinct noises.
"Let's go back to the study first." Xie Yingmian said to Yu Lingye,
"Chen Tingsi estimated that it would take half an hour for him to come over."
"He has to go through at least four moments of agony in half an hour. I wonder how many he can endure."
"I've never had anyone test this medicine since I created it, so I'll just use it as an experiment."
Yu Lingye: "...Do your feet hurt?"
Xie Yingmian didn't feel anything at first, but after Yu Lingye asked her this, she finally realized that she was in pain.
“A little.”
Yu Lingye: "There are plenty of tough guys in the Danyue Courtyard. Let them do the rough work from now on. You don't have to do it yourself."
Xie Yingmian smiled and said, "Although my feet hurt a little."
"But it's still pretty satisfying to kick someone who's always whining and annoying."
Xie Yingmian asked someone to bring fruits and snacks and prepared to watch the show.
A quarter of an hour later, Mu Hu fell into a state worse than death again.
Mu Hu wanted to end his life, but to no avail.
He tried to escape, but in vain.
He tried to stand up and hit himself to death, but to no avail.
He couldn't escape or hide, and could only be forced to accept the overwhelming, unacceptable, and excruciating torture.
Three minutes passed in the blink of an eye for others.
For Mu Hu, it felt like a year in just one breath.
Another three minutes passed.
The wave of terrible torture subsided, and Mu Hu lay on the ground like a dead dog.
