Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 251 Saved a life (one more)
Wu Chen tied the prepared thick rope to the foot of the monster that had lost its head, and tied the other thick rope to the foot of the giant who had lost his head in the depths of the dark room, and then carried two thick ropes. The other end of the rope flew up to the ground, and he put the thick rope aside, and then used force horizontally to make the hole he tore yesterday bigger, so that messy things could come up later.

The whole is almost the same, the sky is already bright.

The sophomores stood at the secret door, seeing Wu Chen busy all the time, the sophomores couldn't help asking in a low voice: "It's already dawn, is the torch still useful?"

Xu Da gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "Do what you are asked to do. Why are there so many nonsense!"

The sophomore pursed his lips, and just about to explain a few words, he heard Wu Chen shout from above: "I'm going to use my strength, you all stand outside the secret door."

There is nothing in the dark room now, and the space is so large. After Wu Chen exerted all his strength, the sound of the planks breaking was loud and terrifying.

Wu Chen heard that it was almost done from above, so he let down the rope, carefully jumped into the other side of the dark room, tied the other two ropes to the feet of the two giants on the other side, and then went up to the ground again.

This time the movement was even bigger. Wu Chen first pulled two ropes, and then pulled up four ropes at the same time. The crackling in the dark room was like setting off firecrackers. The sophomores took several steps back before avoiding the splash. Over the sawdust.

When I was retiring in the second year of high school, I was still asking: "I see that the torch has gone out, do you want to find a way to light it in the past?"

No one pays attention to him.

After a while, the dust and voices stopped flying in the dark room, and a few people walked to the secret door and leaned over to look down.

Except for the wooden boards on the upper floor that were dragged to the ground by Wu Chen, all the other broken wooden boards fell to the lower floor. Through the light from the cracks, it can be seen that the lower floor is a mess.

"What do we need to do now?" the sophomore asked in a low voice.

"Don't worry, Brother Wu has his own arrangements." Xu Da said.

……

Wu Chen on the ground was very pleased to see the four giants he dragged up, lying on the dry mud like wooden sculptures, he panted heavily and looked up at the sky, the sun was climbing upwards, Thinking about waiting until noon, he would think of a way to deal with them.

Wu Chen stretched his waist, took a few deep breaths, probed into the underground darkroom, and then jumped down.

Wu Chen's sudden jump startled the four people waiting outside the secret door.

After landing, Wu Chen shouted, "Second Brother, prepare a torch and pass it to me." After finishing speaking, Wu Chen walked cautiously to the bottom of the hidden door, and took a closer look around.

The sophomore held the torch and thought about how to pass it to Wu Chen. Wu Chen went to the bottom of the secret door and jumped to get the torch.

Wu Chen walked to the wall with a torch, flew up and lit the torches on the wall, and soon all the torches in the darkroom were ablaze.

"You can call the soldiers over, and we don't have to worry about lifting the wooden box up."

……

Not long after, Cookie came with a group of soldiers and ropes, but Wu Chen ignored them and left with the sophomores and four.

After leaving the warehouse, Wu Chen found a soldier and asked him to report to the official's house that the next floor was clean, and then he went back to his yard.

Several people closed the door, and the sophomore couldn't help asking: "Which song is this singing?"

Wu Chen picked up the teapot on the table, regardless of whether it was hot or cold, took a few sips and said, "The official is here to find something, and it should be in the box on the upper floor."

The sophomore was stunned, Yu Shian fell down on the chair, Song Gu let out a long breath and said, "It's dangerous!"

Xu Da muttered: "I said why you didn't call our helper when you went to do things."

The second year of high school was anxious: "What do you mean by this? I understand, I am the only one left stupid!"

Yu Shi'an made a silent gesture to the sophomore, and then said in a low voice, "Wu Chen saved your life and mine!"

The second year of high school was even more confused.

Wu Chen said, "Maybe I'm thinking too much."

Song Gu thought for a while and said in a low voice:

"Before, Deputy Envoy Yu and I secretly said that the official's visit this time must not be for the gold and silver. We don't know who the female ghost is, but the official knows, and the more we have never heard of it, The more important matters related to that female ghost are beyond our knowledge, just now Wu Chen said that the boxes the officials are looking for are among the boxes brought out before dawn, will the officials rummage through it themselves?"

The second year of high school seemed to understand a little bit, but not very well. Yu Shian waved his hand and said:

"The people brought by the officials this time, I saw that they were all the imperial guards and imperial guards. The five hundred soldiers who arrived before were all new troops under the Imperial City Secretary, and they were also guarding the imperial city. It can be seen that this matter should not be publicized. If Chen Zhong hadn't fallen ill, the task of rummaging would have to be done by the two of you, Gao Er and Xu Da, afterward..."

"But Chen Zhong fell ill!" Song Gu interjected, "The box was found very suddenly. The officials might ask Deputy Envoy Yu and me to search for it. Wu Chen found a reason for us to go and help, which is considered to have saved us." One life."

"The government has brought so many people, why do we have to pick someone from the four of us to search?" the sophomore asked.

"Because the officials are trying to kill you." Wu Chen sat at the table, tapping his fingers rhythmically on the table: "I just wanted to try it, and you have seen it. I don't need your help, but I offered to give it a try." When you came to help me, the officials hesitated."

"The officials refused at first?" asked the sophomore.

Wu Chen nodded and said:
"Which box may contain what the official is looking for, I analyzed it. The official didn't expect me to guess his purpose for coming here. I deliberately showed no respect, and the official didn't seem to care, but I know he is hesitating, if there is no sure way to kill me, he will not do it easily, if I run away...he may not be able to sleep peacefully for the rest of his life."

"Then how did you think he was going to attack us?" asked the sophomore.

"Going down the tunnel, releasing the river water, finding the dark room, throughout the whole process, no matter whether I was injured or not, you didn't show up. I thought it would be good for you to know less, but when I tried to get those four things out, I just didn't show up. I realize that you are in danger! Those four monsters injured many soldiers, and a few others died. All the soldiers were terrified. The officials knew that you followed me to see this monster several times, but they didn’t call you out. Come to help, I thought it was wrong, so I tried it, I only said that you can help me, the official is in a hurry to return to Kyoto, although there may be a box that the official wants on the upper floor, but what if it is on the lower floor ? I need help..."

"Then, after we've helped you, won't the officials be able to kill you if they want to?" Senior Two asked anxiously.
