Jade Without Fragrance Chapter 226

   Chapter 226 Mask

   After pulling the young man's face, Lin Hao leaned forward to take a closer look, but was pulled by Qi Shuo.

"Let me do it."

   Qi Shuo was a little helpless when he said this, but he was relieved that Ah Hao didn't argue with him.

  Lin Hao silently watched Qi Shuo stretch out his slender fingers and slowly move along the outline of the young man's face until they stopped at the ear.

   The skin around the ear was pulled, and a piece of skin was uncovered little by little. The whole process looked weird and disgusting.

  Lin Hao ignored these feelings and stared at the person who showed his true face.

   This is a man in his thirties, with a plain appearance and a face shape similar to that of Du Qing.

   Qi Shuo looked at Lin Hao.

  Lin Hao shook his head: "I haven't seen it before."

   When she was with Mingxin Zhenren, her range of activities was limited, and she didn't know many people.

   "Since he sees people in the appearance of Du Qing, he must be from Emperor Pingle's side." Lin Hao glanced at the mask that Qi Shuo had thrown aside, and was inevitably curious, "Is this made of human skin?"

   "It feels like some kind of glue." Qi Shuo doesn't know much about Yi Rong, "When he wakes up, you can ask."

  The two waited patiently.

  The man had been in a coma for some time, and finally opened his eyelids with difficulty, and what appeared in his eyes was an unfamiliar young face.

   After a brief daze, he sat up suddenly: "Who are you?"

  's impression before he fell into a coma, the direction that the officials took him to was not where the government was at all.

   He looked around quickly, his face changed suddenly: "This is not a yamen, and you are not officials!"

  Qi Shuo smiled: "Who said that? You may not know that there are secret agencies when the government investigates some inconvenient public affairs."

The    man seemed to believe it, and looked increasingly nervous: "Then why did you arrest me? Xiaomin is not the gangster in the wanted portrait—"

   With a mirror in front of him, the man's words of defense came to an abrupt end.

   In the mirror is a face that is completely different from before he passed out, and a face he is all too familiar with.

   That's his face.

  The man subconsciously raised his hand to touch his face, and the man in the mirror did the same.

   He suddenly put down his hand and looked at Qi Shuo, this time his frightened expression was no longer fake.

   "Can you explain the purpose of your disguise now?" Qi Shuo asked lightly.

   The man's eyes flickered, and his mind was confused: "Isn't the messenger looking for the murderer who killed Princess Yuliu, this has nothing to do with Xiaomin's disguise?"

   Qi Shuo gave him a cool look: "It's a coincidence, I happen to know the person you're pretending to be."

The    man's expression was shocked, and he heard the other party say in a hurry: "He is still locked in Jinlinwei now."

"who are you?"

   Qi Shuo chuckled: "I should ask you this question."

  The man kept his mouth shut.

   "Okay!" A cheerful voice came from the corner.

  The man looked over subconsciously.

   When he woke up, he saw someone there, but he was quickly attracted by the young man in front of him, and he didn't care about others. Looking at it at this time, I could see that the voice was a curvaceous girl, and there was another person beside her, who was using tongs to pull something out of the stove.

   The girl walked over briskly and stood beside the young man who was interrogating him, her face hard to hide her excitement: "I didn't expect it to look good when it's red."

  The man listened to this and stared at the person walking by.

  The man was dressed as an adjutant, holding a red-hot iron mask on his poker.

  The man shuddered involuntarily, and had an ominous premonition.

   Soon his hunch came true.

   "This man's mouth is so hard, it's a waste of time to grind with him." The girl smiled and pointed at the red-hot mask, "Don't he like wearing masks, why don't he try wearing this."

   The young man smiled softly: "Alright."

   The man's pupils shrank dramatically.

   Are this couple a demon?

   Qi Shuo looked at the man, his dull eyes seemed to be looking at a piece of wood: "You might as well think about it again, whether to explain honestly, or put on a new mask."

The    man pursed his lips tightly, his face horribly white.

   Qi Shuo glanced at his subordinates.

   The subordinate in the official attire responded loudly and strode to the man.

The    man thought he would ask him a few more questions, but he didn't expect this official to be so hot and hot, and without even the slightest hesitation, he grabbed the red-hot mask with tongs and pressed it on his face.

   At that moment, he even smelled the burning smell of his head.

   "I said!" Before he had time to think, his survival instinct made him blurt out.

   "Stop first."

  The hot breath suddenly moved away, and the man had a layer of cold sweat on his back, and his face was full of horror.

   It is possible for the opponent to scare him, but what qualifications does he have to gamble? What's more, he really felt that the other party didn't care.

   "Tell me, who are you, why are you pretending to be—" Qi Shuo paused, his tone thoughtful, "Why pretend to be Xiao Wang?"

   "I—" Although he was forced to speak under threat, the man couldn't continue.

  Lin Hao had a flash of inspiration: "I understand!"

The    man looked at her.

   "You are showing people the appearance of Xiao Wang, so as not to let the neighbors realize that there are others living there. You are covering the murderer of Princess Yuliu!"

  Jin Linwei has never given up the search for the stray people who intend to bomb the Jinxiu Street group. If a strange face suddenly appears in a residence, there is a risk of being discovered.

  There is a person who is easy to become Du Qing, which not only solves Chen Mu's needs for food and drink, but also makes Chen Mu a non-existent person. When he killed Princess Lingque and hid in Du Qing's residence, when the official searched, "Du Qing" came forward, and he was safe.

The    man looked at Lin Hao in shock.

   "Am I right?" Lin asked funny.

  The expression of the man kept changing.

  Lin Hao smiled and showed a look of disgust: "I know more than you think. If you wait for me to say it, the iron mask will have to be yours."

   The man's temple jumped, and he was in shock.

   He really couldn't figure out how the girl in front of him knew, but she was right.

  Lin Hao simply pushed again and whispered three words: "Emperor Pingle."

The    man suddenly opened his eyes, as if he had seen a ghost.

  Lin Hao looked at him wonderingly: "Don't you know that that person has long been in the sight of Jinlinwei? His arrested accomplices can explain everything."

   These words completely defeated the man's defense: "I said..."

   is similar to Lin Hao's guess, this person is indeed Yi Rongcheng's appearance as Du Qing to help Chen Mu cover up his tracks.

   "Where are your other accomplices?" Qi Shuo asked.

The man shook his head: "We are all one-way contact. One day I received a letter to meet up with the boss, and there was a man in a teahouse besides Shangfeng. He touched my face a little bit, and after a few days he put on a mask. It was delivered to me, and then I lived there as a little king."

   "Is the murderer of Princess Yuliu also?"

The    man hesitated and nodded.

   "How did he escape when the official was searching?" Qi Shuo asked again.

   "There is a rice jar in the firewood house..."
