Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 250 Looking for a Helper (Part [-])

Wu Chen was stunned for a moment, then sighed, and said, "When I analyze the case, I am most afraid of being interrupted. Sometimes a thread has just been pulled half way, and if it is broken, it will not be able to be connected every time. Don’t call her Second Wife, just continue to call her a female ghost, okay?”

Li Heng moved his hips again, and signaled Wu Chen to continue with a sullen face.

Liu Jinzhong was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.

"What did you just say? Oh, the female ghost said that she didn't want to come to the other courtyard. Master Yuan insisted on coming. There are two problems here. The first one is that she doesn't want to come. Who will do the work? It’s easy to talk about in the early stage, and the dosage is not large, what about the later stage?”

"After Zheng Gui has trained, she wants to get rid of Yuan Shuchun..."

"It's useless for her to kill Yuan Tianshi. The other courtyard belongs to the eldest princess, but the eldest princess will not live forever. I guess the female ghost has her own plans. What I pay attention to is the box containing the things His Majesty wants to find. Will the female ghost let others open it, if not, this box will not be on the next floor."

Li Heng frowned and thought about it, and said, "When the next layer of gold and silver is used, it should be a time when the expenditure is very large, and maybe the whole box will be shipped out."

"Yes, regardless of whether the female ghost is in the other courtyard or not, she should have already thought about what to do. The second problem is that she doesn't want to come to the other courtyard, but at least one box in the dark room must be opened by her. In this case, what His Majesty wants is mixed with gold and silver, or what she wants to take away, that is, there is only what His Majesty wants in the box, these two may not come to another courtyard, how can she do it?"

Li Heng's eyes gradually widened as he looked at Wu Chen: "The place where she was originally staying is not far from here!"

Wu Chen stood up, nodded and said:

"This is my current inference. Your Majesty can order someone to check the boxes that have been carried out. There should be marks on the boxes. The female ghost knows which box is used, and that special box may have a special mark. All the boxes on this floor can be lifted out before dawn. Your Majesty can look for them first. I don’t want to be idle. I will burn the boards to see how the boxes are damaged, and lift them out one by one if there is a problem. , I'll go and see those four things first, I haven't figured out about them until now, they say they can't be out of the water for too long, but they're a waste in the water, and I don't know if they usually stay in the water or in the dark room , if it was in a dark room, how could it go ashore..."

Wu Chen muttered and left.

Liu Jinzhong's jaw never closed, the officials didn't let him sit, the officials didn't let him go, he left...

……

Wu Chen returned to the dark room and went straight to the corner. Wu Chen didn't care which box contained what the officials wanted. He had already analyzed it thoroughly, and the officials would find a way to find it.

But right now he needs to get these four things out before the box is finished lifting, otherwise after the fire, if these four are exposed, I don't know how many boxes will be destroyed.

Wu Chen first walked to the corner closest to the hidden door, looked up at the giant's face, the dead fish eyes were only white, and Wu Chen poked the giant's dark body with his fingers, as if he had stabbed on a rock, Perhaps only in water would the thing's skin be softer.

Wu Chen tried to bring the giant down so that he could be tied up and dragged out, but no matter whether he was pulling or pushing, the giant stood still and did not move.

Wu Chen felt that the force was wrong and he couldn't use the force. He found a thick rope and wrapped it around the giant's neck. Wu Chen held both ends in his hands and pulled back with half of his strength. "Bang" With a bang, the giant's head fell and rolled to Wu Chen's feet.Wu Chen froze for a moment, and then the wooden plank under the giant's feet began to make a cracking sound.

Wu Chen gasped, this thing actually grew on the wooden plank, if he wanted to bring it down, he would have to move the wooden plank on this level.

Wu Chen didn't dare to try again. He let go of the rope and took a closer look at the giant's head. There was no human blood, and the fracture was completely black.

The soldiers carrying the boxes no longer dared to look in Wu Chen's direction. Which normal person could sit on the ground and play with a severed head?
……

Wu Chen hugged the giant's head, sat in the corner, looked at the cracked lines on the floor under his feet and thought for a while, then suddenly threw away his head, stood up, and hurried out of the dark room.

Wu Chen knew that the official family would not rest, he would wait for the box at the back to be lifted out, and when someone found out the marks on the box, the official family would definitely check it out for themselves.

Li Heng thought that Wu Chen must have made some new discoveries when he went and returned, but Wu Chen actually said, "I want Xu Da, Senior [-], Song Gu and Yu Shi'an to help me, those four things Now it has grown together with the plank, if I want to get them out, it will be very difficult..."

"There are so many soldiers, you can just pick a few to use."

"Who dares to come forward? The four of them have been following me all this time, they are so daring, and they have seen that thing several times before, and it is better than others. I need them to help me now, that's it..."

Wu Chen recounted the process of strangling the giant's head just now, and then said:

"...I'm going to wait for the boxes to be lifted out, then tie a few monsters with ropes. When I go up to the ground, I just stand at the bottom of the river and pull with all my strength. If I'm lucky, I can pull most of them at once. The four monsters will also be dragged out by me, but if their bodies are broken, they will have to be tied again. It is a waste of time for me to toss up and down, and I don’t know what the wooden board will look like at that time. With kung fu, you can protect yourself from falling..."

"You mean to wait until all the boxes on that floor are moved out?"

"Of course, how do you pull it if you don't finish moving?"

Li Heng breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hands and said, "You can go to them, but they can't enter until the boxes are moved."

……

When the sky was getting dark, Senior Two, Xu Da, Song Gu, and Yu Shian stood in the empty dark room, looking at the giants standing in the four corners, and there was a headless one, the Senior Two could not help complaining: "This kind of thing You came to us, how do you know that we are not afraid?"

Wu Chen chuckled and said, "You don't need to do anything, elder brother and second brother remember to watch the torch on the wall, once it goes out, you have to find a way to light it again as soon as possible."

Song Gu was puzzled, and hurriedly asked, "Shouldn't we tie up those four monsters for you?"

Wu Chen said: "I've changed my mind, two by two, you just need to pay attention to the torches on the wall, don't go in easily, the wooden board inside is not safe if I pull it..."

"What you said is that you have to pay attention to the torch. You can't easily enter the room. If the torch is extinguished, how can Xu Da and I rekindle it?" Senior Two asked with a frown.

Yu Shi'an tugged at the corner of Gao Er's clothes, winked at Gao Er, but said loudly, "With your and Xu Da's abilities, we can definitely do it. Let's do what Wu Chen says."

Although the second year of high school still didn't quite understand, she nodded as if she understood something.
