Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 6 Confidence (one more)
Wu Chen seemed to have touched the dominoes, and found the corpses one by one. Only on the left side of the mound, more than a dozen corpses were found. The dead appearance was the same: the face was terrified, the chest and abdomen were shriveled, as if the internal organs had been hollowed out .

But there was no body on the back of the mound.

When Wu Chen turned to the right side of the mound again, there were more than a dozen corpses. The dead bodies were the same as those on the left, and there were several corpses wearing grimace masks. There is a little bit of rotting flesh and a face of bones.

Wu Chen stood up and rubbed his hands on the clothes on his body. Too many incomprehensible questions flashed through his mind. He looked at the mound again. It was so dark that he couldn't see anything clearly. He checked most of the There was no trace of dirt or dust on the fingers of the corpse. Even so, Wu Chen didn't want to touch the mound of dirt, it was too weird!Since Chen Zhong only let him watch, then he only had to take a closer look.

Wu Chen planned to circle around the mound again, the last time was to look at the corpse, this time it was to look at the mound.

Gu You waited on the spot, and stood up in surprise. Since Wu Chen is alive, then he...

Just when he was hesitating whether to go in and have a look, he suddenly turned sideways, swung the long sword in his hand straight behind him, and the man in black disappeared instantly with a grimace.

Gu You hurriedly looked in Wu Chen's direction. Sure enough, a man in black flew up and down to the side of the mound. Gu You wanted to remind Wu Chen, but the man in black attacked again behind him. Gu You was extremely angry. Turning around and stabbing out with the sword, his body also rushed forward, without giving the man in black a chance to dodge, a cold light flashed in his hand, and the man in black fell to the ground, simply and neatly.

Gu You immediately turned around and returned to the original place, only took a look in Wu Chen's direction with his head, and then stepped forward. After only two steps, he stopped again, and he saw that Wu Chen was the only one standing inside.

Gu You breathed a sigh of relief, and he didn't know if it was because he saw that Wu Chen was still alive, or because he was glad that he didn't rush in.

Wu Chen stood beside the mound, and under his feet was the body of the man in black who had just entered.

Wu Chen took a deep breath. The man in black in front of him was just a little bit close, and the sword in his hand could stab Wu Chen. Wu Chen didn't react at all. Why did a living person suddenly appear, and the man in black fell down, and then He watched with his own eyes the chest and abdomen of the man in black slowly collapse...

Wu Chen touched his chest, he felt that his heart was about to jump out just now, and the churning around in the dark frightened him, making him feel a little uncomfortable, Wu Chen sighed, walked slowly to Gu You, and then imitated Gu Looking on the right, he gestured towards Gu You, which meant: let's go.

Gu You actually nodded, the two of them only walked a few steps, Gu You suddenly pulled Wu Chen behind him, followed Wu Chen, and saw a few men in black with grimacing faces coming out of nowhere, waving swords They came straight to him, but were blocked by Gu You.

There was only the sound of swords colliding. Wu Chen saw the previous scene, and the fight in front of him didn't seem to affect him at all. He stared blankly at Gu Youyi, who had more than one enemy, and did not lose the wind. The grimacing man in black was obviously in a hurry to kill him. Wu Chen, everyone tried desperately to break through Gu You's defense line, but they just couldn't get through. During this period, no one spoke, until Gu You killed them all, and the sound of insects started again.

……

When they returned to the house, only Chen Zhong's room was still slightly lit by candles.

Gu You asked Wu Chen to wait outside the house, and he went in first to report.

Wu Chen stood for a while, seeing that no one had called him in, he thought about where to sit and rest, the previous experience made his legs a little weak.

Wu Chen turned his head to look around, and suddenly heard movement behind him, Wu Chen was startled, turned around immediately, and saw the big head hidden behind the wooden pillars in the corridor, only half of his face was showing, waving at him.

Wu Chen hurried over and said in a low voice, "You go back to the house first, and I'll be back in a while."

The big head touched Wu Chen's face, then his hand, then turned and left without saying anything.

Wu Chen frowned looking at the back of the big head, and returned to the door to wait.

Soon, Gu You came out to let him in, but he himself did not follow.

Wu Chen walked into the house, Chen Zhong didn't put a screen before the collapse this time, but still leaned on the table, he pointed to the armchair before the collapse, and said, "Sit down, tell me what you saw tonight .”

"Can I wash my hands first?" Wu Chen asked bluntly.

Chen Zhong raised his hand, and a little eunuch hiding in the dark came out of the room, quickly brought a basin of clear water, and came in with a handkerchief on his arm.

Wu Chen glanced at the little eunuch while cleaning his hands. After drying his hands with a handkerchief, he went straight to the armchair and sat down. He asked, "Can I have a drink first?"

Chen Zhong raised his hand, and another young eunuch bowed and served Wu Chen a cup of tea.

Wu Chen looked at the little eunuch again, then turned his head and asked Chen Zhong, "Didn't you say they are all dead?"

Chen Zhong was taken aback for a moment, then frowned slightly, with a gloomy expression on his face.

Wu Chen raised the tea bowl, tested the temperature, then drank it down in one gulp, put down the cup and said, "One more cup."

Chen Zhong frowned again.

The little eunuch bowed aside and didn't move.

Chen Zhong raised his hand, and the little eunuch stepped back to serve tea.

Chen Zhong snorted and said, "You are much more courageous."

Wu Chen wiped his mouth and said, "I am the only one who can get in and out alive, so naturally I am more courageous."

"How do you know that only you can go in and out?"

"Everyone who goes in is dead, Gu You dare not go in."

"What do you see?"

Chen Zhong's tone was still gloomy, but his speech speed was accidentally a little faster.

Wu Chen smiled and said:

"I thought you kept me because you wanted me to die in another way, and you wanted to behave better. Maybe you didn't want me to die, but you just wanted me to live one more day... Thanks to my standing Come out and shout that voice, save your life."

Chen Zhong looked at Wu Chen carefully by the faint candlelight. Except for officials, no one in this world dared to speak like that in front of him.

"You don't have to look at me like that. Since you are sending me to die, why not just complain?"

"But you're alive."

"Yes, in that place, I saw more than 30 corpses. The people other than you are from the Ghost Gang, but their people are one step ahead of you."

"How do you know that there are only two groups of us? How do you know that they come first?"

"Your people have gold threads on their belts, and the ghost gang members have masks on their faces. It's not easy to tell? Their corpses have different degrees of corruption. Can you understand me when I say this? The ghost gang gang is full of people. You are covered in maggots, bones are visible, and the most rotten corpses of your subordinates are only just beginning to swell. It can be seen that you have only been in Anping County for a few days, but the ghost gang has been staring at that place for a while. They found you I'm also investigating, so I naturally want to kill you."

"It might be possible to see what they died of?"

Wu Chen shook his head and said, "The death is bizarre, and the cause of death cannot be seen. It stands to reason that with so many rotting corpses, the surrounding area must have a stench, but I didn't smell any stench when I walked close, so it doesn't make sense! "
