Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 215 The Man in the Hut ([-]) One More

Xu Da explained: "If you know who she is, you can infer where she might hide her body according to her habits, preferences, etc., and who in other courtyards may belong to her."

"I heard what the female ghost said. Her people are on their way, and someone will break the formation outside the courtyard. Of course, it is also possible that she lied to me, but if it is true, I will If we want to restrain her again, we will have no chance, we can only find her bones as soon as possible, and find a way to send her away, which is the most important thing."

"Then what are you waiting for? None of us know who she is, and we can't figure it out. Why don't we just rummage through it, let's go! I didn't find it during the search before, so it must be hidden somewhere that is not easy to find..."

Xu Da snorted and said, "You're so smart!"

But Wu Chen waved his hand and said, "I have to wait until dawn, otherwise I won't be able to leave this branch for a moment."

The second year of high school glanced at the branches, and immediately became honest.

"I forgot one thing just now. You have been in the capital for so many years, have you ever heard that Longgu Mountain is the dragon vein of Xingguo?" Wu Chen asked.

Several people shook their heads.

Wu Chen frowned and said:
"But the female ghost knows that this is also the reason why she doesn't want to come here. She knows that Yuan Tianshi has hidden gunpowder and also knows Yuan Tianshi's purpose. She doesn't want to blow up the dragon's veins but she doesn't worry about it. Moreover, the thing in the river saw her. Kneeling, I deduce that she is a princess."

Both Song Gu and Yu Shi'an showed surprised expressions.

The second year of high school asked, "Are you sure this is the dragon vein of Xingguo? What if it is from the previous dynasty? The female ghost may also be the princess of the previous dynasty..."

Wu Chen smiled and said:

"If it was from the previous dynasty, why did she let Prince Cheng sit on the dragon chair? The royal family of the previous dynasty lost their children and grandchildren? Besides, she should have a lot of gold and silver in her hands. She once promised me ten thousand taels of gold. It is true that some silver is needed to rebel. , Prince Cheng is an idle prince. Even if Yuan Tianshi had one, he would not use his own easily, let alone the eldest princess. , where did this female ghost get the gold and silver?"

"Is that why she refuses to tell who she is?" Song Gu asked.

Wu Chen smiled and said:

"Maybe she will reveal who she is after she feels that I have surrendered to her. I'm afraid I won't be able to find out what I ask now. Her identity allows me to make many inferences. Second brother, there is a perfect way Send the letter to Kyoto?"

The sophomore was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xu Da.

Xu Damang said: "It is reasonable to say that there is nothing wrong with sending letters from the inspector general, but, you ask... is it okay for Feige to send letters?"

"Give it a try. Write down everything you know to be related to the female ghost. Your master may know who it is at a glance. Let's find the female ghost's body as soon as possible and send her away. The capital will also know where to go when they receive the letter." Put your strength in the direction, let’s find the gunpowder again, and this errand will be considered over.”

"Did you forget about that thing in the river?" Senior Two reminded.

Wu Chen smiled and said:

"I haven't forgotten! There are not only those monsters in the river, but also secret passages in secret rooms. Master Yuan Tianshi wanted to escape through the secret passages, but I destroyed part of them after I saw through them."

Several people were all surprised.

Wu Chen also said:

"We can deal with them only after we receive the order. It's really the dragon's veins. We don't dare to move around. Alas, I don't know if the part I destroyed counts as the dragon's veins. Don't think about it for now!" Wu Chen waved his hand: "As long as the The female ghost is sent away, we can't get rid of that thing in the river, but we can temporarily restrain it, if the official orders say that it must be removed, we just need to choose a sunny day to pump the water out of the river, and they will have nowhere to go But hide, they are nothing after being out of the water for a long time."

After hearing this, Song Gu said: "In this way, the female ghost only needs to find the bones, but what about Tianshi Yuan? Will Gu You and his party be safe? The mountain has been closed for a few days, and I don't believe he has no other plans."

"As long as it doesn't blow up the mountain, nothing else matters. The other courtyard is already empty. Even if they have the ability to attack from inside and outside, I can deal with the enemies from outside alone. You just found out who is inside... female ghost You said, the books are in her hands. You say, who will the eight apprentices give the books to? No matter who they give to, must they be followed by living people? In this other courtyard, everyone is given to Yuan Tianshi. How could Yuan Tianshi give it to everyone? The person who gave such an important thing to the female ghost?" Wu Chen asked with narrowed eyes.

"That person appears to be someone trusted by Tianshi Yuan, but he is actually a female ghost!" Song Gu said firmly.

Wu Chen smiled and muttered, "This is Infernal Affairs! While it's dark, let's interrogate the people in the thatched cottage first, and there will always be someone who is willing to tell the truth."

"Isn't it time to interrogate the servant?" Yu Shi'an asked.

"My servants, the elder brother and the second elder brother have asked some questions before, and it seems that they have made preparations. It's hard to see what's going on. The people in the thatched cottage are different."

Wu Chen stood up as he spoke, and walked out of the house with the branches.

……

That night, Wu Chen and the others did not sleep, and the people who lived together in the hut were taken to the main house where Yu Shian lived in batches.

Before, the police had questioned everyone, when they were arrested, where they lived, and their surnames, all of which were recorded in the book. Wu Chen flipped through these records and checked them with the people brought in for questioning. It was soon discovered that who lives with whom is determined according to the time of arrest, men and women are separated, live in one room, and then send it to the next room, some fellow villagers live in one room, and some do not live in the same room. In one hut, some couples were arrested at the same time and sent to different huts, but the children were nowhere to be found.

Wu Chen knew that these 200 people were scattered in seven years, and were arrested in different places, which greatly reduced the chance of being noticed, but being able to hide it for seven years also shows that the female ghost really has some power. I count on Yuan Tianshi to do these things less than.

Yuan Tianshi gave the world the feeling that he was basically the same as an immortal except that he did not fly into the sky. On weekdays, Yuan Tianshi was also a loner and never accepted apprentices. Sooner or later, the Investigative Department will find out about the power of Tianshi Yuan. Perhaps the female ghost also cooperates with Yuan Tianshi because he is in a lonely state.

As for the Eldest Princess... she would not be put in the eyes of the female ghost at all.

……

It took some time for more than 200 people to ask all the questions. Wu Chen called several people in the same room together and asked only three or four questions. The person being questioned is far away.

After asking some people, Wu Chen basically grasped some of the emotions of these people at this time. Some cried and kowtowed fiercely, begging Wu Chen and the others to find their children, some cried that they could not return to their hometown, some sighed, and some looked I was sluggish, and couldn't remember anything except my name and where my home was.
