Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 267 Under the Mawei (one more)
Wu Chen asked: "Have you ever looked at the corpse? Are there strangle marks on the neck? Are the lips blue? Are there bloodstains on the seven orifices?"

The three of them glanced at each other, and one of them replied: "When the three of us received this errand and rushed to collect the corpses, the three corpses were already covered with white cloths. The three of us just carried the corpses into the carriage and carried them to Yizhuang. Come down, how dare you lift the white cloth to see?"

"Whether you are on duty or not, is there someone delivering food when it's time to eat?"

The three nodded in unison.One person said: "Someone who is on duty will deliver food, and someone who is not on duty will go to cook..."

"How many people are guarding the inner library?"

"There are not only internal warehouses that need to be guarded in the palace, but also other warehouses. There are about [-] people guarding in shifts..."

"Is it also from these people who counted the inventory?"

"Yes, but there will be Duzhi taking inventory. If you are just looking for something, just order some errands."

"Do you know who covered them with a white cloth?"

The three shook their heads in unison.

Wu Chen waved his hand and said, "Let's go."

The three kowtowed three more times before retreating.

Gu Shiming hurriedly asked: "Who do I ask next?"

Wu Chen thought for a while and said, "The three eunuchs who died should be the ones who were in charge of guarding the internal treasury when the five-color jade was lost, and the ones who lied after being asked about it and went to check it, which means that the five-color jade was no longer there. He replied 'yes'"

"When do you mean 'at that time'?" Gu Shiming asked.

Wu Chen turned his head to look at Gu Shiming, then turned his head to Song Gu and said, "When the five-color jade case just happened, I thought maybe the officials and Chen Zhong had asked about it."

"Since it happened at that time, why did you kill people now?" asked the second year of high school.

"Of course it's because they thought they could hide the truth, but Wu Chen found the capital." Gu Shiming said.

"It's not because I found the capital, but because they thought we would ignore the five-color jade and think that in the whole case, the five-color jade was just a cover. In this way, no one will ask about the five-color jade in the internal treasury."

Gu Shiming spread his hands and said, "Isn't this the same as what I said?"

Xu Da laughed and said, "Gu Gongshi said it more concisely."

Gu Shiming opened the folding fan and fanned it: "Smart people don't like nonsense."

The sophomore snorted and asked:

"Then ask a wise person to explain, why do we have to kill? Now we don't even know when the five-color jade was stolen, so how can we know who guarded it at the time? And the liar only said that he saw it at the time, who can tell?" Prove that he was lying?"

Gu Shiming looked at Wu Chen and said with a chuckle, "It's not his reputation that scares those people."

Wu Chen shrugged, narrowed his eyes and said, "Another person who knows me very well."

The second year of high school said proudly: "When we were in the other courtyard, Brother Wu quickly found out the person left by Yuan Tianshi among the more than 200 people. There are only about [-] people in the palace. That is not a matter of a cup of tea."

"You don't have to blow it up for him!" Gu Shiming fanned his fan and looked at Wu Chen and asked, "Just say who is going to be interrogated next? I'll go find it for you myself."

Wu Chen didn't say anything.

Song Gu said: "It's useless to ask living people. The cause of death of these three people was not found out at the time of the case, and now even the corpses can't be found. I can't believe it, now I can only ask the ghost of Yizhuang, who stole the corpse."

Gu Shiming was surprised when he heard this, and asked in a low voice, "Wu Chen can really go to the underworld to ask questions?"

The sophomore said anxiously: "You also believe those rumors about Mr. Gu!"

Gu Shiming slapped it again and said, "That's what I'm asking, how can I not know the truth?"

"It's going to be the beginning of winter, why don't you fan it a little bit, isn't it cold?" asked the sophomore in wonder.

Gu Shi took a clear look at the sophomore, and continued to slap.

"How long does it take to get to Yizhuang from here?" Wu Chen asked.

"Over an hour." Xu Da said.

"It's still early, let's go see Yuan Tianshi and Su Chang first." Wu Chen stood up after speaking, waiting for Senior Two and Xu Da to lead the way.

The sophomore said hurriedly: "We don't know where they are being held."

Xu Da said: "I'll go and ask, see if he's being held in our investigation department, Dali Temple, or the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

Wu Chen sat down again.

Gu Shiming leaned close to him and said in a low voice, "I heard that several cartloads of gold and silver were brought back by Cookie, and they entered the city in the middle of the night."

"When the officials returned to Beijing, they brought a lot of gold and silver with them." Wu Chen said after taking a sip of tea.

Gu Shiming hurriedly said: "Don't talk nonsense, when did the official family leave Beijing?"

Wu Chen glanced at Gu Shiming and nodded, but he was thinking in his heart that if Li Heng didn't hide it from the prince, who was he hiding it from?

"Can you really talk to ghosts?" Gu Shiming asked unwillingly.

Wu Chen clasped his hands together and said, "I haven't thanked you for giving me the Gu Family Wooden Plaque..."

"It's about the Year of the Monkey. Now that you think about it, thank you. Where's the wooden sign? Give it back to me!" Gu Shiming stretched out his hand.

"The wooden sign is not in my hand now, I will come back and give it to you when I see Aunt Ping."

"You gave it to Chen Nanzhu?" Gu Shiming asked with wide-eyed eyes.

Wu Chen chuckled and said:

"You knew at the time that I was close to death, and you gave me a wooden sign to remind me... I owe you a favor. At that time, Pinggu was going back to Kyoto, and I was going to Yang'an County to investigate the case. Because I was worried about Chen Zhong, and I didn't know me. How about going to Yang'an County, so I handed the wooden sign to Pinggu, and told her to use the wooden sign to find you when she encounters difficulties, and you will definitely help her."

Gu Shiming straightened his waist and said, "If she comes to me, I will definitely help her! Where is she now? Why haven't you seen her yet?"

"In the palace, with the fifth princess."

Gu Shiming gasped.

At this time, Xu Daqi came back with a grunt, looked at Wu Chen, pursed his lips and said, "I can't ask."

Wu Chen raised his eyebrows, he knew that someone was trying to show him off.

"Second brother, go with eldest brother and bring all the people you just asked." Wu Chen said with a sullen face.

The sophomore in high school suddenly regained his energy when he heard it, and took Xu Dashi away.

Gu Shiming waved his folding fan and said, "In the future, I will still have to do these things. The second year of senior high school and Senior Xu's official positions are still a bit lower."

Wu Chen turned his head to look at Gu Shiming and said, "You're good at being an afterthought, why didn't you see your enthusiasm just now?"

"You don't understand this. I also thought about it for you. You are promoted to the deputy commander, and you always want to stand up. How can I ruin this opportunity? Naturally, I will leave it to you. Sir, I want to give you a It's normal to dismount."

Wu Chen snorted and said, "I think he's already found a place to live at this time, at worst I'll smash it."

"Don't! You made a lot of trouble last night. Today, the officials didn't announce you into the palace, so they just turned a blind eye. If you don't know what to do, if you do it again, the officials will definitely be annoyed. In front of the officials, Si Zun is still It has some weight."
