Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 438 Li Shen is also there (first update)
"Why are you like this..." The person in the coffin was a little anxious.

"It's okay. You think about it first. I'll go to the other coffins and ask..." Wu Chen deliberately raised his voice: "Whoever tells you who he is first and why he is imprisoned here, I will open his coffin first."

"I am a member of the former royal family, please open the coffin quickly!" the person in the coffin said urgently.

Wu Chen frowned and asked, "Why are you imprisoned here?"

"You won't understand even if I tell you that, after I am resurrected and ascended to the throne, I will make you a high-ranking official and open the coffin as soon as possible?"

Wu Chen's heart tightened. He really didn't expect that the people in the copper coffin were locked in there to wash ink.

"Why are you silent? Are you scared? You open the coffin first. I will do what I say. Everything has been arranged. As long as I go out, I can become the emperor..."

"I call you my sister! Are you stupid for being locked up in there? If you come out and leave now, even if you get Xi Mo, how will Xi Mo recognize his master? You are not here anymore."

"I can still be emperor without washing ink!"

"You can proclaim yourself emperor inside first!"

Wu Chen walked past the coffin, took a few steps forward and asked loudly: "Li Shen, which coffin are you in? Just squeak and I can find it!"

After asking this question, he heard Xing Yun exclaim, and then Xing Yun appeared beside Wu Chen. He looked around and asked in a low voice: "You mean...in here?"

Wu Chen was listening carefully to the sound, but was distracted by Xing Yun and didn't hear clearly. He gritted his teeth and growled at Xing Yun: "Go back!"

Xing Yun was obedient and disappeared in a flash.

The former royal family in the coffin just now shouted: "Is there a first-come, first-served basis?"

"Shut up! Otherwise I will open your coffin in the end!"

The surrounding area was quiet. Wu Chen asked again and then heard a faint sound coming from a coffin on the far right.

Wu Chen quickly moved to the coffin and asked, "But the first prince Li Shen?"

There was a faint response from inside, 'Hmm! '

"Are you also trying to wash your hands of the ink and recognize your master?" Wu Chen asked in confusion.

Just after asking, Xing Yun came to his side again and whispered: "You have to think about whether to save me or not!"

"Do you believe I will knock you into the groundwater?"

"Do not believe!"

Wu Chen scratched his forehead helplessly and said: "I want to ask clearly first. This is not a matter of whether I can save it or not. If we don't figure out the reason, we have no way of knowing what kind of chess the people in Shuangxi Village are playing..."

Before Wu Chen finished speaking, Xu Da and Gu You arrived, carrying Xing Yun one by one as they walked away. Xu Da also told him: "You are busy with your business, he won't come again."

Wu Chen sighed and continued to ask: "Will you survive if I open the coffin now?"

"I don't know."

"You are the prince, why did you fake your death? To get the ink wash? Do you believe what the people in Shuangxi Village say?"

"Let's drive. It's already time to die."

Wu Chen also felt that it would be better to talk face to face after opening it, so he pointed the tip of his sword at the top of the copper coffin, walked around the coffin with some strength, and then pushed with his palm, the top of the copper coffin fell to the side. Wu Chen When he leaned forward to take a look, he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. He was choked by the stench emanating from the coffin and couldn't help coughing.

Wu Chen has seen ghosts in various forms, and also seen people who are terminally ill and about to die, but he has never seen a living person who looks like a ghost and is still breathing!
This glance made Wu Chen's heart tremble, and he forgot to check where the blue flames started. Li Shen opened his mouth and asked: "Then, is the flame still there?"

Wu quickly stopped coughing and looked at the coffin lid that had fallen to the side. The coffin lid was on the ground on one side and still resting on the coffin. The blue flames were still there, leaning against the coffin.

"Here! What's in it...Brother, come here." Wu Chen wanted to confirm that the person in the coffin was a human being.

The first person to come to Wu Chen's side was, as expected, Xing Yun. He only stood next to the coffin and then bounced back.

Xu Da, Gu You, the eldest and the second stood next to the coffin one after another. None of the four of them spoke, they only covered their mouths and noses with their hands.

"Can you see it?" Wu Chen asked.

Xu Da nodded.

Wu Chen scratched his forehead and asked: "The robe he wore is what the prince should wear when he is buried...Forget it, it is possible to change his clothes after digging it out."

Xing Yun snorted coldly from behind and said: "Fortunately you didn't let us identify whether he is the first prince!"

"I am... Li Shen, now, but, Li Heng will succeed to the throne?"

"Don't worry about these mundane things for now. Why...why did you agree to come here? Are your old troops always taking orders from the people in Shuangxi Village? It's okay. Just pretend I didn't ask. You'd better stop talking. I'm afraid Your jaw dropped."

After Wu Chen finished speaking, he turned around and took a deep breath. There was a voice in his head that repeatedly appeared: 'This is not scientific! '

When Wu Chen turned around, Xu Da and others didn't have the courage to look any further. They turned around one after another. Xu Da asked: "You are all still alive after this?"

Wu Chen didn't say anything, and walked to the first coffin. He raised his sword and quickly circled around the coffin. He stretched out his hand to push the coffin and looked inside...

Just like Li Shen, this former royal family was also soaked in a pool of black water, and his face was almost rotten. Yahuazi occupied the high ground with neat teeth, with bones vaguely visible on his forehead, and the rest of the place was pitch black.

"It's already been like this, why are you still thinking about ascending the throne? Are you planning to change to the King of Hell?"

Wu Chen asked angrily, covering his nose.

"What do you mean? Is there something wrong with me?"

"There's nothing right about you!" Wu Chen yelled, then went to another coffin and raised his sword to open the coffin again.

Xing Yun quickly rushed to Wu Chen's side, raised his hand to stop him, and asked, "Are you sure we won't be smoked to death after opening these copper coffins?"

Wu Chen thought for a while and felt it made sense. He sighed, handed the long sword to Xing Yun and said, "I thought that if we touched their important things, they would swoop over to settle the score with us, but I didn't expect that they would all It’s useless.”

After Wu Chen finished speaking, he walked back to Li Shen's coffin.

Xing Yun took the sword, followed him and said:
"Yes, after finding so many people, doesn't it mean that we can't determine the conditions for them to be recognized as their master after finding so many people? I bet that there will be many princes and nobles in the remaining coffins, regardless of which dynasty they belong to. Descendants...but Ximo has already recognized you, but you are just a little beggar, so these people are really useless now."

"These people didn't come here voluntarily, right?" Gu You said.

"It doesn't sound like them." Xu Da said.

Wu Chen scratched his forehead and said: "I said I cut off the thin thread, why didn't they worry when the coffin fell... No, they fell from such a height, but they were okay?"

After Wu Chen finished speaking, he leaned forward and asked, "How did you feel when you fell from a height just now?"

"Look at the flames..."

"It's still there! You...can you still be alive if the flame is still there?"

"Yes."

Wu Chen ducked to the coffin of the former royal family member and asked, "Did you ever think that the flames would go out when you asked me to open the coffin? You didn't want me to save you, you wanted to die first?!"
