Demon detective

Chapter 189 Dilemma
Outside the prison of the county government.

After watching Lian Ji leave, Dongfang Meiyan just blew a whistle, and four men in black suddenly appeared.

Dongfang Meiyan assigned tasks to them, naturally it was to closely monitor and protect Lian Ji.

Perhaps because she had more trust in Xu Zhen, Dongfang Meiyan did not shy away from Xu Zhen during the whole process, letting Xu Zhen watch from afar.

After the task was assigned, the four men in black disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, their figures extremely neat.

"Xu Zhen," Dongfang Meiyan said, still frowning after returning to Xu Zhen's side, "Do you think she told the truth this time?"

"80.00%... Oh no, nine out of ten," Xu Zhen hurriedly changed his words, "At least most of what she said is true."

"If it is true, then this matter will be really troublesome," Dongfang Meiyan shook her head, "What we have to face is the double threat from the rebellious party and the imperial court.

"It's easy to talk about going against the party, but the people in the court must be unfathomable and hard to figure out."

"Indeed," Xu Zhen said, "If Fang Wubing is an undercover agent, he must be a close minister of the emperor."

"That's why I'm even more curious," Dongfang Meiyan said, "What exactly are those five boxes of things that Fang Wubing snatched from Wanfeng Bank?"

"Since it's five boxes," Xu Zhen analyzed, "it's impossible for Fang Wubing to hide so many things by himself. Maybe he has accomplices, or maybe..."

"Well," Dongfang Meiyan looked into the distance, "Perhaps, the accomplice is this Lian Ji, and she hid the five boxes of things. Also, the enemy didn't touch her, not because she didn't expose it, but because she deliberately hid it. Watch her! Tsk tsk..."

The more Dongfang Meiyan thought about it, the more she felt uneasy, and immediately said: "No, just in case, I'd better go and monitor it myself, no one is more important than her!"

"That's fine," Xu Zhen nodded, "You go and monitor Lian Ji, and I'll go back to the prison to see if I can find clues from those spies."

"Okay!" Dongfang Meiyan adjusted her clothes subconsciously, intending to leave.

"That beautiful sister," who knows, Xu Zhen suddenly stopped her and said, "Can I ask you a few more questions?"

"Oh?" Dongfang Meiyan was surprised, "What's the problem?"

"Since Fang Wubing and his master Yue Jinglei are members of the God Detective Department, then..." Xu Zhen asked, "Are you familiar with them?"

"I'm not familiar with you," Dongfang Meiyan replied very simply, "My mother is the chief arrester of the God Detective Division. When Yue Jinglei was in the God Detective Division, he often saw the head and tail, and I only saw him once in a while.

"Fang Wubing is the same, only met a few times, never spoke.

"Besides..." Dongfang Meiyan looked at her palm, "By the time I really joined the Shenhun Division, Fang Wubing had already rebelled, and Yue Jinglei had already passed away."

"Oh..." Xu Zhen looked at her palm on tiptoe and asked, "Then how did you learn this bloody palm? I heard that this is a difficult skill to practice, right?"

"Yes," Dongfang Meiyan's cheeks trembled, as if recalling the painful past, "The blood evil palm is extremely yin and evil, and any mistake in cultivation is enough to be fatal!

"If you want to know how I did it, I'll tell you when we solve this case!"

"This..." Xu Zhen was speechless, so he could only change the subject and ask, "Then...does the Rusty Knife really exist?"

"Rusty Knife..." Dongfang Meiyan smacked her lips and said, "It shouldn't be fake, right? I heard it from my mother, but who can explain what happened 100 years ago?"

……

Dimly lit interrogation room.

The jailer Shi Xiaoyi had been beaten terribly, and there was also a scorched brand on his chest, obviously scalded by a branding iron.

Sima Xin originally thought that Xu Zhen would also interrogate Shi Xiaoyi, but he didn't expect that Xu Zhen just took a few glances and then withdrew.

"It's useless," Xu Zhen said to Sima Xin after there was no one around, "Shi Xiaoyi and Ma Biao are just the simplest pawns, and they are also used by the enemy to confuse us.

"If they die of poison, the thread is broken.

"If they are not dead, then their confessions will only mislead us."

"Yes," Sima Xin nodded helplessly, "I've also realized that, even the Tianxuan Rebel Party may be fake, they don't know anything at all!"

"Master Sima," Xu Zhen asked, "Have you checked their family members?"

"I've checked," Sima Xin replied, "All of them are missing. Either they were held hostage or silenced."

Seeing that Xu Zhen was deep in thought, Sima Xin said again: "Lao Li didn't find anything. Now it seems that only the goatee you mentioned may be useful."

"Not necessarily," Xu Zhen shook his head sadly, "Even though Goatee is also a traitor, he is still not an important person. I suggest not to do anything to him for the time being, otherwise even if he recruits, he will still not be able to get key information."

"Well," Sima Xin nodded, "then we can only wait for these people to be released in the future, and then follow up and monitor. But in that case, the time will be too long, and things will change if they are late!"

Xu Zhen naturally felt the same way, the longer the case dragged on, the less he could save Zhang Lin.

However, this case involved too deep, there is no clue at all.

Who stored the container in Wanfeng bank 30 years ago, and what was stored in it?
What secret is hidden in Taizu Emperor Li Xuanzhen's rusty knife, who stole it, and who wants to get it now?

What organization is Fang Wubing undercover, and what organization is it that wants to interrogate Fang Wubing now?
Can Lian Ji's words be trusted? Is she also a bait that has been watched all the time?

One after another, the mysteries are not only intricate, but also directly point to the court.

Xu Zhen has reason to suspect that behind it, there must be an important court official who is plotting something...

But... Chaotang...

Thinking of this, Xu Zhen had no choice but to lower his voice and ask Sima Xin: "Master Sima, can you tell me about the current situation in the court?"

"This..." Sima Xin was in a dilemma. As an official, it is extremely dangerous to talk about the court, and he is not familiar with this little policeman.

"Tell me briefly," Xu Zhen said, "Maybe you can come up with an idea, which will help us solve the case!
"Don't worry, there are only the two of us here. I'm a soft-spoken person, so it won't affect you."

"Tsk tsk..." Sima Xin smacked his lips and frowned, but after thinking about it, he felt that what Xu Zhen said was reasonable, so he took Xu Zhen to the background at the end of the corridor and said, "It's actually not a secret. Divided into two factions, fighting for a long time..."
