Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 207 Knowledge (Part [-])
After a long time, the three of them had already gotten used to the darkness. Yu Shian stared at the water and asked, "Will he come out?"

"It should be, his toenails and hair haven't been cleaned up yet..."

Before Wu Chen finished speaking, he heard the sound of 'gulu' and 'gulu' coming from underwater.

"He's here." Wu Chen whispered.

Song Gu and Yu Shi'an immediately held their breaths and concentrated, only to hear a "crash", a giant stood up from the river, and stepped onto the bank with one step.

Yu Shi'an and Song Gu's eyes widened, they were so frightened that they forgot to breathe, and the guards carrying torches on both sides could not hold back, and let out a scream.

Wu Chen was afraid that this thing would make a noise first, and he would not be able to hold it to death, but Yu Shi'an, Song Gu and the surrounding soldiers were not sure. The moment the giant came ashore, he flew up and charged. past.

But what Wu Chen didn't expect was that the charge was directly loaded on the giant's wet body. Wu Chen bounced back to the ground, and the giant's figure swayed and almost returned to the water.

Wu Chen didn't have time to think about the hair tied up last night and how it was untied. He jumped up from the ground and punched the giant. It was different from last night. Tonight's punch was so strong. Dao actually shook the giant's long hair, and it floated straight behind him together with countless water droplets, and the river surface behind him suddenly became choppy.

But the same thing was still the same as yesterday, the giant just swayed, and Wu Chen felt his hand break.

Grinning, he rolled aside, and the giant's long hair followed. He slapped Wu Chen's back fiercely, and then curled up again, trying to roll Wu Chen in front of him. Wu Chen hurriedly shouted: "Light the torches!"

……

The torches were lit again by the river, and the water surface became calm again.

But Yu Shi'an and Song Gu were not calm, they still stood there with their eyes open and their mouths open, motionless.

Wu Chen lay motionless by the river. He had just shouted to light the torch and used all his strength to control himself from vomiting blood. Now his upper body was so painful that he dared not move.

After a moment of silence by the river, Yu Shi'an and Song Gu remembered to run over to see Wu Chen.

"Are you in danger of your life?" Song Gu asked anxiously.

Wu Chen shook his head slightly.

Yu Shi'an hurriedly said: "I will carry you to the house first, and then see a doctor..."

"No, I can't move." Wu Chen said weakly.

At this time Gao Er and Xu Da came back, before approaching, Gao Er asked loudly: "Why did you get beaten again?"

Xu Da blamed: "I haven't found a way to subdue him yet, why did you provoke him?"

Song Gu quickly blamed himself and said, "Blame me, because I said I had never seen him before, Wu Chen led him out. Alas, if I knew the result, I would not have said much."

The second year of high school walked up to him and said: "When you came here before dawn, he was able to stand up. You have never seen that monster in the water, nor have you seen how badly he was injured. No wonder you, brother Wu, do you know that?" There will be serious problems, so we will do this."

Wu Chen said: "My recovery from injury is fast, if you can, don't talk about it if you can't tell others."

Several people glanced at each other, and Yu Shi'an said: "We can hide this matter? There are many policemen from the investigation department in the yard who have seen you fall to the ground. They saw you alive and well today. , that’s more, now you’re down again... how long will it take you to stand up this time?”

Wu Chen said: "I don't know, it's much better now than before. Alas, I also know that I can't hide this matter, but it takes a day to hide it."

Yu Shi'an spread his arms and said, "Anyway, I don't know anything."

Song Gu said: "After the matter is over, I will go back to the East Road to mention the punishment department, and no one will ask me."

Senior Two and Xu Da looked at each other, and Senior Two said, "Si Zun asked, we can only tell the truth. If others ask, we naturally don't have to answer."

Wu Chen thought about it for the same reason, so he changed the subject and asked, "What did you two ask?"

Xu Da shook his head and said:
"I didn't ask anything. The kitchen handyman said that every day after dark, someone filled the warehouse and cellar. We asked them to identify people one by one to find out who filled the ingredients, but these people said that they were on time every day. When they arrived at the corner gate, they were only responsible for unloading the things on the truck, as for who delivered them, they didn’t know, we asked who was in charge, and they said they were taken to the capital.”

The second grader said: "There is no way to start with the gunpowder matter. How could Yuan Tianshi let these servants know about such an important matter?"

"Someone has to do the work, right? Who dug holes in the mountains? Who carried the gunpowder? Who brought the gunpowder, and where did they get it?" Wu Chen sat up after finishing speaking.

"Okay?!" The four asked almost in unison.

Wu Chen stood up quickly, stretched his arms, kicked his legs and said, "It's also weird. After that thing hit me, I felt more refreshed after I recovered."

"Then call him out quickly, and beat you up again." The sophomore said seriously.

"That's unnecessary!" Wu Chen hastily waved his hands, "What did you mean just now, that everyone who knew about it was taken away by Gu You?"

"I don't know if they are shirking, or if they really don't know." Xu Da said.

"If you want me to say, we have to wait for the order of the capital anyway. If the order is not received, we can't act rashly. Why don't we go to prison and interrogate them one by one from tomorrow..."

Song Gu shook his head and interrupted the sophomore, saying:
"What we want to know now is where are the books hidden? Where are the gunpowder buried? These are not things that the servants can know. Instead of spending time interrogating useless people, it is better to find out if there are people around Yuan Tianshi who have stayed. "

"They will not hide among the servants." Wu Chen looked at Song Gu: "They should hide in the hut."

Song Gu nodded and said: "The servants are usually familiar with each other, or they are familiar with each other. Once someone identifies them, they will be easily exposed. But the people in the hut, they don't know anyone except the people in their own room."

Yu Shi'an frowned and asked, "There's no possibility, did they all follow Gu You?"

"They have time to prepare, so it is impossible not to stay behind. We arrived four days after being sealed in Longgu Mountain. Even if Yuan Tianshi didn't expect Su Chang to betray, he would make two-handed preparations. I know that he is the same as Su Chang. Prepared for the worst, but didn't believe it would happen..."

As Wu Chen said, he turned his head and looked towards the sky in the distance to the right.

At this time, there were torches all around the pond, especially by the river where Wu Chen and the others were standing. There were a few soldiers holding torches on both sides, but the direction Wu Chen was looking at was in the air behind the soldiers.

"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Wu Chen suddenly asked.

Sophomore and Xu naturally fought side by side, Song Gu and Yu Shian also followed suit, staying close together, the four of them tacitly kept silent.
