Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 177 Finding a Breakthrough (Part [-])

Wu Chen deduced that these fake mountain people at the foot of the mountain lived here after killing the original farmers, but the county government didn't know about it at all, Wu Chen didn't believe it!

In addition, there were men and women, and some naturally became a family, but no child was caught, Wu Chen felt strange.

On that night a month ago, not one of the night watchmen fell asleep, but all fell asleep. Shen Wang was only punished as a routine, but he didn't pursue it further. Wu Chen felt that it didn't make sense.

When the next few people asked questions, Wu Chen changed the question, 'Where were they before they came to Laojie Mountain? "When did Shen Wang arrive at Laojie Mountain?" "Who is usually close to Shen Wang?" '

After asking a few people this time, the answer was different, and Wu Chen would keep asking.

These people come from nowhere, some are beggars, who came to the foot of Laojie Mountain because of stuttering, some are bandits, they were caught and sent to Laojie Mountain, some were prisoners, and they were rescued with money. Arrived at Laojie Mountain...

When these people came, there were already people in the huts at the foot of the mountain. They had to practice and cultivate with these people who came first, and any mistakes they made would be severely punished. They had seen people beaten to death, but At the same time, I can eat enough and wear warmth. As long as I obey the orders, I can live a good life.

After four or five years of this kind of good life, they practice every day, and they can make a few gestures. When they meet passers-by at the foot of the mountain, they are no longer the special people who used to test them. Everyone of them can do it. The previous leader left, and Shen Wang came.

Over the years, acquaintances suddenly disappeared, and newcomers came, but they didn't take it seriously. After Shen Wang came, the mountain people became more vicious, but they were limited to arresting people.

Wu Chen knew that those who could get close to the cave were all dead. In other words, those who could know some useful information went to the Taoist temple and the entrance of the cave last night, and the rest were only responsible for farming, patrolling and arresting people.

Wu Chen couldn't help sighing. After listening to the answers of these people, he knew that his thoughts just now were wrong. Shen Wang didn't investigate why the person on duty that night fell asleep, and it wasn't because he was from Zhang San's side. , but he didn't want to startle the snake.

Shen Wang knew that five hundred soldiers were thrown at the foot of Laojie Mountain, so he knew that his subordinates had fallen for someone else's tricks, and this person must be by his side. He didn't investigate with great fanfare, and the secret investigation probably failed to find out. Why, otherwise Wu Chen would come after more than ten days, and those people would not have arranged to assassinate him under Shen Wang's nose.

Wu Chen rubbed his swollen temples, and said to the sophomore, "Let's do this tonight, I can't turn my mind."

The sophomore in high school yawned and said, "I thought you were an iron man!"

……

After the autopsy, Song Gu had already gone back to the house to rest, and Yu Shi'an had to wait at the county government office for the soldiers.

Wu Chen knew without asking that Song Gu's autopsy did not find any clues, otherwise he would have been waiting for him.

Wu Chen and the sophomore went back to the house to rest without even saying goodbye.

The big head in the room was snoring like thunder, Su Chang also fell asleep on the ground, Wu Chen walked lightly to the bedside, lay down and fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.

Wu Chen originally wanted to chat with Lao Hei, but when he closed his eyes, it was already daylight.

He sat up and got out of bed immediately, and saw the big head squatting there feeding Su Chang.

"Don't give him food, starve him for a few meals, otherwise he will become a demon when he is full and has strength."

The big head turned his head and said: "He has been hungry for two days, if you don't eat more, I'm afraid he will die before he is executed."

Wu Chen raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you know how beastly he is?"

The big head stood up with the bowl in his hand and said: "I don't know much, I only know that he killed many people. I just gave him some porridge to drink, and starved him to death like this. How can I feel sorry for those who were killed by him."

Wu Chen stared at Big Tou earnestly, and Big Tou became embarrassed by Wu Chen's stare. At this time, the sophomore in high school opened the door and entered.

"You're up. I thought you were still asleep. The soldiers sent by Deputy Envoy Yu arrived at dawn. Deputy Envoy Yu arranged for a group of soldiers to search the mountains, and also arranged for some people to guard the county government office. Song Tixing went out of the city with the soldiers, and he wanted to investigate the cause of death of five hundred soldiers, and before leaving, he told me to go to the raw medicine shop when you wake up."

"Can Deputy Envoy Yu rest?" Wu Chen washed his hands, cleaned his face, walked back to the table and sat down to ask.

"Let's take a break. People from the Zhongzhou government office also arrived in the morning. I don't know what they mean by coming at this time. Yang'an County belongs to Zhongzhou, and the accident has not happened in a day or two. At this time, it suddenly appeared... The deputy envoy rushed back with a few words, I saw that they left very quickly, they really didn't look back..."

"You didn't sleep all night, did you?" Wu Chen asked in surprise.

"I slept for an hour, it's okay. When you are busy, I can find a place to lean on and squat for a while."

At this time, the logician brought the food.

"Let's eat some more. I'm busy and don't know when my next meal will be." Wu Chen picked up his chopsticks and said.

The big head said: "Okay." He sat down and began to eat.

The second grader smiled and picked up the chopsticks too.

The sophomore said while eating:

"Before Song Tixing left, he went to see Cao Bingshan. Liang Kuan was always by Cao Bingshan's side, but he couldn't wake up Cao Bingshan after changing several doctors. Song Tixing looked at it and said maybe you can do something about it." .”

Wu Chen was stunned for a moment, and said, "Did Song Tixing misunderstand me? I don't have the ability to heal patients..." Before he finished speaking, Wu Chen was stunned. He blinked and asked, "Song Tixing The punishment means that Cao Bingshan is not awake because of his injuries, but because his soul is not in his body?"

The second grader shook his head and said, "I don't understand, I'm just passing on the words to you."

Wu Chen suddenly turned his head to look at Su Chang who was on the ground. Su Chang's empty eyes were filled with bewilderment.

Not Su Chang!

Who would want to treat Cao Bingshan like this?Wu Chen's mind was spinning rapidly.

Was it the real culprit who killed the Cao family or someone from the county government?But only Su Chang or one of his accomplished apprentices can force the soul out of the body!

In other words, if Cao Bingshan's soul really left his body, then the case of the Cao family's extermination must be related to the five-color jade case. Su Chang and Prince Cheng are Li Si. The strange people were all killed by the fake villagers at the foot of the mountain, and the county government office was also taken care of. As long as they practiced ghosts with peace of mind, they would not leave the old mountain and come out to cause trouble.

That is Zhang San's people want to clean up Cao Bingshan, and the Cao family extermination case is also related to Zhang San!The Cao family is all dead, but Cao Bingshan must know something, no!Wouldn't it be better to kill Cao Bingshan directly?It is logical to lie about dying of illness and push it to people like the county government, unless Cao Bingshan is still useful... If Cao Bingshan is not allowed to die, but he can’t speak as if he is dead, forcing the soul out of the body is the best choice, but this can be persisted How many days?
