Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 178 Save Cao Bingshan (Part [-])
Wu Chen thought about Cao Bingshan's possible situation, so he hurriedly got up without eating. He had to make sure first.

Wu Chen went out the door, but stood still under the eaves.

The sophomore came out and said, "Didn't you go there last night? Why didn't you know the way suddenly?"

But Wu Chen said, "Wait a minute." After saying that, he turned around and went back to the house, shouting, "Cao Kang, come out!"

Cao Kang appeared in a corner of the room and asked, "Do you remember me? When will you be able to find out the case of my Cao family's extermination?"

"Have you ever seen the soul of your uncle Cao Bingshan?" Wu Chen asked anxiously.

"Isn't he dead? Where can I go? I've been to his room a few times. Hey, I haven't finished talking yet. My family's case..."

……

Cao Bingshan was arranged in an inverted room in the front yard.

The room was filled with the smell of medicine. Liang Kuan was sitting in front of the bed and dozed off when he heard the door knocking suddenly. He turned his head and saw that it was Wu Chen. Take care of him, don't be lazy."

Wu Chen nodded, and went directly to the bed to check Cao Bingshan's complexion carefully. There was nothing else but paleness.

"Do you remember which cell Cao Bingshan was locked in before? Although I have been there once, I'm afraid I can't remember." Wu Chen asked seriously.

Liang Kuan thought for a while and said, "Remember, at..."

"lead the way!"

……

A few people rushed to the county government office at high speed. Wu Chen got off the horse and realized that the guard was transferred by Yu Shi'an. He didn't recognize him, and it would be troublesome to get in. Unexpectedly, the soldier at the gate recognized the sophomore, and even saluted Wu Chen. , then let go.

Wu Chen was still surprised, and the second year of high school explained: "Deputy Envoy Yu was afraid that you would have to go to the county government office during the day, so he asked someone to bring me to the county government office, and met with the guard at the gate. When I lead people to let them go immediately, and second, if there is a handsome boy who comes here, it is Mr. Wu from the Investigation Department, so he should let him go."

Wu Chen shook his head and smiled, "Now that the county government is surrounded like this, the daily political affairs in the county may be delayed."

"You really have endless worries. The most important thing right now is to investigate this messy case. It doesn't matter if you let other things go."

"It's best not to delay. You tell Si Zun that there must be someone in charge. None of the people who used to be in the county government can be used."

While the two were talking, they followed Liang Kuan to the cell.

The candles in the cell were dimly lit. The cell where Cao Bingshan was imprisoned was now holding a few fake villagers who were slightly injured. Wu Chen immediately ordered them to be moved to another cell.

After there was no one in the cell, Wu Chen walked in and looked carefully.

Wu Chen saw Cao Bingshan's pale face in the house just now, and instantly thought of those people in the third cave. After being sprayed by Wu Chen and Gao Er, their faces gradually turned from gray to pale. Their souls were imprisoned in the opposite stone pillar, and Wu Chen could barely see a shadow, and those souls could not speak.

This may be the difference between the dead soul and the living soul.

Wu Chen came to this cell once. At that time, he just looked at Cao Bingshan's injury and didn't stop there. Today, Wu Chen carefully checked every part of the cell, and finally saw a looming shadow in the corner. The shadow was as thin as Cicada Wing, Wu Chen can even see the wall through the shadow.

Wu Chen pursed his lips. Cao Bingshan's soul couldn't answer what he asked at this time. He even doubted whether the soul could see him, but he knew that there must be a confinement formation around the soul.

But there are no pillars here...

Wu Chen thought for a while, and first shouted: "Go and fetch Cao Bingshan!" Then he squatted down and pulled aside the hay around the corner with both hands.

Liang Kuan ran out after hearing what Wu Chen said.

The sophomore squatted beside Wu Chen to help, and asked while doing it, "Did you see it?"

"Ah."

"That is to say, Cao Bingshan's soul has been imprisoned here?" The sophomore asked in surprise.

"Ah."

"Looking at it this way, the case of exterminating the Cao family must be related to Laojie Mountain! Only Su Chang knows this..."

"You forgot that he still has eight apprentices."

The hay in the corner was cleared away, and the process also disturbed a few mice. They ran around the cell and eventually ran to other cells.

Wu Chen asked for a torch, so he took a careful look at the ground. On the blue bricks, there was a circle of characters that Wu Chen couldn't understand, and the shadow was in the middle.

Wu Chen couldn't wait to find a tool, so he pressed it down with his palm. When he first touched the green brick, he couldn't help but tremble. He gritted his teeth and pressed it down. It floated out.

"Don't worry, I have ordered someone to take your body back, and you can return to your body." Wu Chen said gently to the shadow.

The sophomore said: "I'd better go back, I'm afraid they won't understand, and the guards in the house won't let you go."

Wu Chen nodded.

……

Wu Chen was sitting in the prison cell, chatting with Shadow. To be precise, he was talking to himself, but Shadow kept running around, looking very flustered.

Wu Chen knew that he was anxious, and knew that he couldn't hear what he said, but he continued to comfort him until the second year of high school brought Cao Bingshan's body in.

Before the sophomore put down his physical body, the shadow took possession of him.

Wu Chen looked at it, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Send him back to the house first, and tell Deputy Envoy Yu that the guards are heavily guarded, and you must find a trustworthy doctor to take a look."

The sophomore asked, "What about you?"

"I'm going to ask those yamen servants and jailers, who came after Cao Bingshan was imprisoned, and wanted to carve so many messy things, it can't be finished in a while, and the previous ghosts said that their souls were killed Three days after being forced out of the body, I went back again. I think it was because of a long period of time that I really died. Did Cao Bingshan return to the body in the middle? I want to find out when Cao Bingshan became unconscious of."

In the second year of high school, I stopped talking too much, and I couldn't hold it if I talked too much.

……

The yamen servants and jailers are currently being locked up in the county yamen, which saved Wu Chen a lot of trouble. It didn't take him much effort to ask questions, or to say he figured it out.

After Cao Bingshan was arrested, he experienced severe torture first, and finally he was tortured. No one in the county government paid any attention to him. Some government servants remembered clearly that Cao Bingshan was still able to eat the day before Wu Chen arrived, and fell into a coma the next day. Awake.

Wu Chen asked the jailer, "How do you know when I arrived?"

The jailer replied: "The county magistrate Chen was brought back that day. We privately said that this time the county magistrate was in danger, and Mr. Wang died outside that day, so the subordinates remember it clearly."

Wu Chen asked again: "Since I remember clearly, do any of you remember who visited Cao Bingshan in those two days and stayed there for a long time?"

All the yamen servants and jailers shook their heads.
