Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 107 Let's talk alone (one more)
Li Wu's legs softened, and he knelt directly on the ground, and said in a trembling voice, "I, I walked through the door of Master Liang seven years ago, and entered the county government to work as a government servant."

"Cao Bingde has been a clerk in the county government for decades, and you have been in the county government for several years, but you say you don't know him?"

"I know, I know, it's just, it's just that I haven't had a drink anywhere..."

"How did he die?"

"Who?"

"Cao Bingde!"

"He, he, how did he die?" Li Wu turned to look at Chen Wuzhao in horror.

This time Wu Chen didn't stop him.

Chen Wuzhao hurriedly said: "Cao Bingde's family was poisoned by his own brother Cao Bingshan."

"Destroyed the family?" Wu Chen asked.

"Yes." Chen Wuzhao wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied.

"The whole family is dead?"

"Yes."

"They were all poisoned by Cao Bingshan?"

"Yes!"

"Fart!" Wu Chen patted the table next to him, stood up suddenly, and the table next to the tea bowl was shattered into pieces.

Lin Huai'an was startled, Chen Wuzhao was stunned, Li Wu covered his face, as if something hit him in the face just now.

"Cao Bingde has two sons, where are the bones of his two sons now?" Wu Chen's momentum was like a wall, pressing Chen Wuzhao so hard that he couldn't breathe.

"Come on!" Wu Chen yelled, and Senior Two and Xu Da jumped in.

"Go to the county government office to find the file of Cao Bingde's extermination case, find the place where the bones are buried, and check the number of bones!"

Senior Two and Xu Da didn't ask anything, turned around and went out.

Chen Wuzhao was so frightened that he slipped out of the seat and slipped to the floor, his face was pale, but he couldn't say a word.

Lin Huai'an frowned and asked Wu Chen, "How is this case related to the five-color jade case?"

Wu Chen folded his hands behind his back, his face still gloomy, and said:

"This county magistrate's mind is all about keeping his official position. Lin didn't know whether to take what he said to heart. The cause and effect of the five-color jade case were all said through his mouth. If I expected it right, it was true at the time. The people who saw the scene...the ones who stayed were all trained to say whatever they want, what's the use of listening to them?"

Lin Huai'an glanced at Chen Wuzhao, who was so frightened that he hadn't recovered his strength, and said, "He pretends to be smart, but you will puncture it when you come up, and you will have no way to investigate later."

Wu Chen sat back on the chair, crossed his legs and said, "Lin Duzhi has time to watch them slowly perform? I don't have time. If I don't startle the snake, how can I know who is behind them when I watch them scurry around?"

Lin Huai'an smiled. Anyway, this case has been handed over to Wu Chen, and he can go back to the capital. What does Wu Chen want to do? What does it have to do with him?

"Mr. Wu is very thoughtful. I haven't seen an inch of work in the past ten days. Now that the errand is in the hands of Mr. Wu, I can go back to the capital with peace of mind." Lin Huai'an said with a smile.

Wu Chen didn't dissuade but said: "I know you have regulations, you can't leave the capital easily, and Si Zun also knows that I have arrived in Yang'an County, and Lin Du knows that it is really not suitable to stay for a long time."

Lin Huai'an did not expect Wu Chen's attitude. He thought that Wu Chen would keep him until tomorrow. Tonight, he would set up a table of wine and food to make amends while drinking. Although Si Zun said he would not pursue it, his godson would be worthless. ?Why can't you accompany me in private?
Or take advantage of the drunkenness to ask something related to the case. After all, they have been here for more than ten days, how could they not find anything?
Lin Huai'an even thought about how to play Wu Chen at the wine table, but Wu Chen didn't keep him.

Lin Huai'an laughed a few times and said, "Thank you Mr. Wu for your understanding, then I will leave this afternoon."

Wu Chen nodded. What he was thinking about now was how to get Song Gu to come here as soon as possible. Here are not just one or two corpses, and they are all bones that are more than [-] days old. He really can't do the autopsy. The autopsy will report him Can read, there must be someone who can write the report.

Lin Huaian picked up the tea bowl, as if to see off the guests, Wu Chen hurriedly ordered someone to send a message to Song Gu, and didn't want to wait too long, but the two in front of him...

"Come here, detain Li Wu alone, and ask County Magistrate Chen to sit in my room for a while."

After the order was complete, Wu Chen got up to leave.

Lin Huai'an watched Wu Chen leave, snorted coldly and said, "Zhuzi is ignorant!"

……

Chen Wuzhao sat obediently in Wu Chen's room, with Datou beside him.

Wu Chen wanted Song Gu to come and help, but he had to go through Chen Zhong. He didn't have this right yet, and he didn't have a way to talk to Chen Zhong directly, so he still had to find Senior Two and Xu Da.

Senior Two and Xu Da had already left the house and got on the horse, Wu Chen chased them out with his front collar in his hands, and returned to the room after giving another order.

The big head is persuading Chen Wuzhao to eat some snacks and drink some tea.

How could Chen Wuzhao be in the mood, he was thinking about how to deal with it next, and ignored the big head.

When Wu Chen entered the room, he saw Chen Wuzhao leaning on the chair with a disgusted expression on his face. He didn't even look at the big head who was demonstrating how to eat dim sum. Wu Chen stood by the table with a cold face and said:
"Magistrate Chen should have heard about the work of the Imperial City Investigation Department. Based on the evidence I have now, I can detain you first. After reporting, you will definitely not be able to wear the official hat on your head. Do you know me? Why were you not detained?"

When Chen Wuzhao saw Wu Chen enter the room, he sat up straight. Seeing Wu Chen's question, he hurriedly said:

"Mr. Wu must be aware of my difficulties. The Cao family's extermination case is big enough to cause me to lose my official position immediately. It's also small. As long as I can find out the case as soon as possible, find the culprit, and then go up and down. Big things can be turned into small things..."

Wu Chen became annoyed, and asked, "You mean I didn't imprison you because I understand that it's not easy for you to be an official?"

Chen Wuzhao hurriedly explained:

"I have been the county magistrate in Yang'an County for more than two years. The weather has been calm, and I have done my duty. Who knows that it will be the end of the year, and such a case has been missed. I am afraid that the Ministry of Officials' assessment is trying to get a middle and upper class. Difficult, I have no other way, but Cao Bingshan is indeed suspicious..."

"Oh? Tell me, what's suspicious?" Wu Chen sat on the chair.

Datou handed over a piece of dim sum and said, "Try this red bean cake quickly, it's really delicious."

Wu Chen smiled, took the red bean cake and ate it in two bites, then looked down at Chen Wuzhao.

Chen Wuzhao glanced at the big head, and he suddenly realized that it was a very good opportunity to please this idiot just now, but he belatedly discovered that Wu Chen was very nice to the idiot!
"You don't need to look at him," Wu Chen took another sip of the tea that Datou handed over him, "I want to be honest, this is your only chance."

Chen Wuzhao hurriedly said: "Then Cao Bingshan has always complained about his elder brother's family. He always feels that his elder brother's family treats them harshly. These gossips have been spread for several years. In addition, Cao Bingshan wanted to marry his son, so Cao Bingde also fell in love with this family. Little lady, I want to tell my little son..."

"Is it done?"
