Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 216 The Man in the Hut ([-]) Second Watch

After a group of people asked, Wu Chen felt extremely uncomfortable. He could fulfill the wishes of ghosts, but he could not fulfill the wishes of living people. Those children were probably long gone.

Others also took time to sigh.

At this time, four more women came in.

Wu Chen paid special attention to the rooms with a small number of people, especially not the last thatched hut, which should be full of six people. I have encountered this situation before. After asking, I found out that someone wanted to escape, so I didn't Came back and no new ones were added either.

Before Wu Chen asked, just like before, the two women knelt down and kowtowed, begging to find their child back. Wu Chen felt uncomfortable, pursed his lips and said, "Sit up first, and listen to me. Speaking of which, we are still investigating, if you tell the truth, maybe... you will see the child sooner."

Wu Chen had said this sentence several times, but it was still difficult to say.

The two women stood up sobbing obediently, and sat on the embroidered pier opposite Wu Chen.

Wu Chen asked: "Did the four of you live in this room from the beginning?"

All four of them shook their heads, and one said: "The three of us lived in this room from the very beginning when we were captured. There were three other people at that time. Later, two of us went crazy, and one ran away. The Cheng family lady came here recently. .”

Wu Chen looked at the woman accused, 'Oh? ’ With a sound, he looked down at the handbook again, and asked: "Ms. Cheng's family was only arrested in early May."

The lady of the Cheng family nodded sadly, without tears in her eyes, but raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes.

"From Wu County?"

The lady of the Cheng family nodded slightly.

"Wu county...is there any famous scenery or food?"

The lady of the Cheng family was taken aback, blinked her eyes and thought for a while and said: "Wu County is a small place with no special scenery. My husband's family is just ordinary people. It is a good thing to have a full stomach. Where would I think about what is delicious..."

"Don't you have enough to eat?" Wu Chen raised his eyebrows, looked at the woman next to Mrs. Cheng and said, "Please help me, Mrs. Cheng, do you have calluses on the hands of Mrs. Cheng? "

The woman answered "yes" and went to grab the hand of Cheng's wife. The Cheng's lady quickly put her hands behind her back and said in panic: "My husband's family treats me very well, and I can't bear to work too much. I, I I don’t like people touching my hand either.”

Wu Chen smiled, glanced at the records in the brochure and said to Xu Da: "Find someone to search No. [-] of C row."

Xu Da turned around and left the house.

The lady of the Cheng family showed panic, Wu Chen picked up the tea bowl and said, "Take it!"

The second year in high school quickly stepped forward and wanted to drag the lady of the Cheng family to the side and tie her up. Unexpectedly, the lady of the Cheng family was faster than the second year in high school. The moment the second year in high school arrived, she actually dragged the woman next to her and threatened viciously. : "Don't come here, I'll strangle her to death!"

The second grader stopped, but he was only one step away from Mrs. Cheng's. The second grader snorted, waved his left hand, and grabbed Mrs. Cheng's arm that was clasping the woman's neck with his right hand, and twisted it hard, only to hear "click" With a sound, the Cheng family's wife screamed and was pushed to the ground by the sophomore.

"The reaction is quite fast, second brother, don't you often talk about torture? I'm afraid you will be busy tonight." Wu Chen said in a deep voice: "Gag her first, tie her behind a screen, and let others watch Come on, let's keep asking!"

For the remaining people, Wu Chen no longer asked several people together, but asked individually, and only asked the people in the same room who saw something wrong.

It didn't take long, there were six people behind the screen, there were men and women.

……

Wu Chen got tired of asking questions, so he got up and walked to the door of the room. Seeing the sky getting brighter, he asked, "How many people didn't ask questions?"

The sophomore said: "There are at least seven or 80 people."

"Brother, I don't know what's going on. It's dawn, and it's time for us to find the female ghost's body."

"I haven't tortured and interrogated yet!"

"These people are not in a hurry, let's clean up the female ghost first."

The sophomore asked in a low voice: "You said, is it possible that the people under the female ghost are just waiting for us to deal with the female ghost?"

Wu Chen turned to look at the sophomore, and praised: "Second brother has really improved!"

The sophomore coughed lightly and said, "I'm just too lazy to use my brain on weekdays. These people have been following the female ghost for a year or two. Who can see the female ghost? If they can't see it, why do they obey? There must be a female ghost who can be trusted. , that person is very sure that the female ghost exists, this person replaces the female ghost to arrange everything in the underworld..."

"The person you mentioned is Yuan Tianshi, so the female ghost is anxious to find the next one. Of course, the female ghost will also have her own people. She can arrange things with anyone she wants, but most of them are quietly. You forgot to return There is a Prince Cheng, and now everything the female ghost does is to leave this other courtyard. Whether the female ghost has been dealt with in this other courtyard, no one else dares to act rashly, and the people outside the courtyard... It's hard to say."

The sophomore in high school was thinking about Wu Chen's words. He rubbed his eyes and walked towards Wu Chen: "You guys wake up so early."

The sophomore said: "We didn't sleep!"

"Oh, where do you have breakfast?" Big Head asked.

The sophomore shook his head helplessly and said, "I'll go and see how the search at Xu Da's side is going."

The sophomore finished speaking and walked out of the house.

Song Gu and Yu Shi'an came out to chat with Datou at this time, Wu Chen went back and picked up the branch and walked out of the door, and said to the guards guarding the door: "Find some people to detain the person behind the screen and guard them separately. Go hungry for two meals first."

The soldiers took the order to leave, and Wu Chen strolled in the yard holding a tree branch.

He wants to find a place where the sun can shine for a while, and he can see it at a glance when he eats. He thinks that the female ghost will slowly recover if she hides in the branches. Using sunlight can at least slow down her recovery process. Wu Chen is now But there is no time to take the female ghost to the formation.

There is a sycamore tree planted in the courtyard, with luxuriant branches and leaves. The autumn wind has not yet blown the leaves down, which will block a lot of sunlight.

Wu Chen held the branch and changed several angles, but felt that it was not suitable. At this moment, the big head came over, took the branch from Wu Chen's hand, held it in his hand and looked carefully and asked, "What are you doing with this? "

Wu Chen looked at Datou in surprise, because he heard the female ghost moaning.

"Big Brother..."

"Huh?" The big head turned to look at Wu Chen, and the moaning of the female ghost stopped immediately.

"Do you see if there are bugs on this branch?"

The big head looked at the branch again, and the female ghost moaned again.

Wu Chen swallowed, and asked, "You really don't remember anything about your childhood?"

"Remember, didn't I tell you that I go outside Zhang's courtyard every year, waiting for Hongxing to get out of the wall?"

"Yes, I also promised you to get Zhang family's apricots for you to eat. Alas, I left Anping County in a hurry and forgot about it. Today I ordered the soldiers to look for them. Where are the apricots..."

"No, I just want to eat the Zhang family's red apricots, other apricots are not good."

"Do you still remember what happened before you went outside Zhang's courtyard to wait for Hongxing to come out of the wall?"

"Can not remember."

"Have you ever dreamed about something? For example, black mist..."
