Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 268 The Strangeness in the Cell (Part [-])
"What weight?" Yu Shi'an, who had been silent for a long time, asked unwillingly: "He is an eunuch, hmph! The most important thing in the palace is a loyal eunuch."

Gu Shiming coughed lightly in embarrassment.

Song Gu said: "Chen Zhong doesn't want Wu Chen to take over the Investigative Department smoothly. It's only normal. The Investigative Department has the duty to supervise civil and military officials. Such great power..."

"I don't want this right. It doesn't matter to me who he should monitor. I'm... a new yamen. It's a few of us who specialize in investigating cases that ordinary people can't find out. I'm not in his charge. His affairs It has nothing to do with me." Wu Chen said.

Gu Shiming nodded and said: "If you say that, Si Zun has nothing to lose."

"It's a big loss for him! How can he be reconciled to being pushed out by such a capable official as Wu Chen?" Yu Shi'an asked.

While several people were talking, Wu Chen heard the sound of fighting in the yard, and the others heard it too. Gu Shiming was the first to run out, muttering, "Why is there a fight!"

Wu Chen frowned and walked to the roof, watching several people in the courtyard fighting around the sophomore and Xu Dazheng.

Wu Chen could tell that Gao Er and Xu Da didn't dare to fight back, for fear of hurting someone, and they would inevitably suffer.

Wu Chen was a little annoyed, he shouted: "Brother and Brother squat down!" Then he swung his palm.

Wu Chen used two points of strength for this palm, and he felt that the strength of this body could be controlled to some extent, at least much stronger than the previous strikes that were life-threatening.

Everyone in the courtyard fell down, and Gao Er and Xu Da then stood up.

The sophomore sighed and said to those who fell to the ground: "I told you, don't be brave! Deputy envoy Wu is so powerful, you haven't seen it before, now you're better, have you seen it? Hmph, let me see you recuperating." How will Si Zun reward you when the time comes!"

Wu Chen walked into the courtyard, looked at those lying on the ground and those around him, and said with his hands behind his back, "Do whatever I tell you to do, and answer whatever I ask you, Chen Zhong's I dare to demolish your house, and kill you... I don't need a reason!"

There was a sudden noise all around.

Wu Chen looked around again and said:

"I won't make it difficult for you, but if Chen Zhong or Chen Zhong ordered someone to threaten you, I promise with Chen Zhong's life. You only need to tell me the truth, and I will protect you well. If you ask for credit in front of Chen Zhong, your bones will be broken and your life will be lost, but you can’t blame others! Big Brother and Second Brother, bring them into the hall, and I will ask them personally to see if I can get an answer.”

Sophomore and Xu Da loudly answered 'yes'.

……

The few people are just pretending to be powerful. This time, if they don't understand, they will be honest if they get hurt a little bit. What Chen Zhong wants is loyalty... As Wu Chen once said, what his subordinates are loyal to is the power in Chen Zhong's hands. Once the rights are dispersed, the loyalty will naturally be shaken. What if the rights are completely gone?

Yuan Shuchun and Su Chang are currently being held in the cell of the Investigation Department.

After asking the result, Wu Chen didn't rush to the cell, but sat in the hall and drank tea for a while.

The second class was impatient and asked: "Since you know they are here, why don't you move?"

Gu Shiming waved his hand and said, "We must give some time for the news to reach Si Zun's ears, and see how Si Zun does it."

The second year of high school asked unhappily: "You have grown up and understood at this time!"

Wu Chen said: "I am most annoyed by being interrupted when I am asking questions, so wait and see."

Yu Shi'an smiled and said, "If Chen Zhong has no way to deal with it, then from now on, no one in the investigation department will dare to say no to Wu Chen."

Xu Dalian sighed repeatedly.

"You don't have to follow me to the cell in a while. The place is dark and humid, and the smell is heavy. Just have the elder brother and the second brother follow me. I'm also killing time. I have to wait until dark when I go to Yizhuang. I don't do anything during this time. I'm sorry, officer. family salary."

Wu Chen crossed his legs, very leisurely.

Gu Shiming hurriedly asked: "I wanted to ask just now, why do we have to wait until dark when we go to Yizhuang?"

"He wants to ask the ghost to go after dark." The sophomore answered casually.

Gu Shiming's complexion was a little pale: "So the rumor is true, isn't it?"

"It's not what you think. I'll know when I see you tonight. There's nothing to be afraid of." The sophomore said.

Song Gu suddenly frowned and looked at Wu Chen and asked, "What if the ghost is not found in Yizhuang?"

Wu Chen narrowed his eyes and said, "Then it will be fun."

The sophomore in high school hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?"

Song Gu explained: "There are a lot of unclaimed corpses in Yizhuang. It's normal for some ghosts to be found. If one of them is not found, it means that someone knew that Wu Chen was going and cleaned them up in advance."

"This person knows that I can see ghosts. Is it interesting for you to say that?" Wu Chen asked with a smile.

Gu Shiming widened his eyes and said, "Many people know that you can see ghosts, who can you deduce?"

Wu Chen snorted and said, "Many people know that I can see ghosts, but not many people know that I'm going to Yizhuang."

Yu Shi'an hurriedly said: "You can't say that, it depends on how many people know that you are investigating the death of the three eunuchs."

Wu Chen stood up and said, "My eldest brother and my second brother went to the prison cell. Deputy envoy Lao Yu, Song Tixing, and Gu Gongshi checked who knew that I had interrogated the eunuch in the palace today."

……

Wu Chen had seen such a place as a cell before, so he naturally had a picture in his mind, but Wu Chen was shocked when he entered the cell of the Investigation Department.

All that could be smelled was blood, but it was surprisingly quiet.

The prison cell of the Detective Department is half underground, and it gets darker as you go down. When you turn a corner, there are several locked iron gates standing beside a dark passage, and Wu Chen stopped still.

He frowned and asked Gao Er and Xu Da: "Why are there so many secret rooms here?"

The second grader explained: "The people who are going to be interrogated by the Investigative Division are all people involved in important matters. Si Zun ordered people to build these secret rooms, and also ordered people to make interrogation tools, which are extremely useful..."

"Open it and let me have a look." Wu Chen said calmly, standing in front of a secret room.

Xu Da explained in a low voice: "These don't belong to me and the senior officer, these secret rooms are watched very closely by Si Zun."

"Then find the person who guards the secret room."

Xu Da hesitated to speak, so he had no choice but to turn around and go to the other end of the cell.

Not long after, Xu Da led a thin middle-aged man over.

The torches in the cell were dim, but Wu Chen could still see the haze in the man's eyes at a glance. Wu Chen said, "Open the door!"

The man didn't move, and said with a smile: "Deputy Envoy Wu may have misunderstood, and there are only Si Zun in these secret rooms..."

"Open the door!"

"I advise Deputy Envoy Wu not to watch it, lest I won't be able to sleep at night..."

Before the man finished speaking, Wu Chen held down the iron door of the closest secret room and pushed hard, the iron door smashed to the ground, kicking up countless dust.
