Dragon Gate Swordsman

"Don't get excited, Miss Huang. This person is ruthless, cruel and cold-blooded. In my opinion, he would not get along with Gong Zicheng on a daily basis, but he is extremely trusted by him and can even order people lurking in the Special Police Bureau."

Having said this, Wu Ming paused slightly, as if hesitant.

However, he still said the following words, "This person is most likely a trusted guest staff member of Gongzi Cheng's mansion, and... has a close relationship with the Special Police Bureau."

The True Dragon Royal Family of Dayan has a tradition of hiring retainers and aides since ancient times to serve as their team for the fight for the throne. The size of the team depends on the tolerance of the then emperor.

In the eyes of officials, there is a huge gap between Prince Zhen and Gongzi Cheng. Not only is the latter inferior in all aspects of ability, but his reputation is also in a mess. However, since he is the youngest son and his biological mother is still alive, he is more favored by the emperor, so he is not completely without capital, and it is normal for him to have some staff.

The problem is that was in the past. Those staff members who still plan to follow Gongzi Cheng are either those who just want to eat and wait for death, or they are truly loyal, and it is estimated that there are not many of them left.

Chongxiao never expected that Wu Ming's analysis would actually help him narrow down the real culprit behind the scenes to a few people... or even just one person.

He is indeed a genius who can complete his doctorate this year!

"I'm beginning to wonder if Zhao Zhen deliberately asked you to help."

"That's not the case! Don't think too much about it, brother! Don't think too much about it!"

Wu Ming just laughed it off.

At this time, Huang Xinglan suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to Wu Ming, "Thank you sir for pointing out the real culprit for me. From now on..."

"You don't have to remember me anymore... I never said anything to you here."

Wu Ming's expression suddenly darkened, and he gave Chongxiao and Huang Xinglan a meaningful look.

Not long after that, he said goodbye and left Feng Lai Yi.

"Brother Chongxiao, who exactly is this friend of yours?"

Can I say that the person I'm looking for is not him at all?

Chongxiao smiled bitterly and did not answer.

The reason why the Dali Temple did not continue the investigation is already very clear. The real culprit behind this case was involved in the struggle for the throne between Taizizhen and Gongzicheng. It is no wonder that it ended so hastily.

Even if the investigation is to be reopened, it must be delayed until after the coronation ceremony is over and the situation is completely settled.

But the problem is that by then, Huang Xinglan might be driven out of the capital.

"Anyway, forget about him for now and concentrate on figuring out those dog-headed military advisors under Gongzi Cheng."

"What...what military advisor?"

"Don't worry about the details, don't worry about the details!"

It's easier said than done. It would be fine if Chongxiao still had the support of the Dali Temple, but now he's just a commoner in the Divine Capital. How can he be qualified to investigate Gongzi Cheng?

It's just a pipe dream to sneak in... He is still a member of the True Dragon Royal Family, and he must be protected by masters of Dayan. Wouldn't it be courting death to go there and cause trouble?

Seeing that Chongxiao had been working so hard for her, Huang Xinglan was naturally very touched. If she were the cheerful and lively girl before, she would definitely find ways to repay him, such as having a big meal and drinking happily, but now... she felt that she had nothing to offer.

"Have it!"

At this moment, Chongxiao suddenly clapped his hands.

"Xiao Lan, do you still remember what Wu Ming just said?"

"I remember it very clearly."

"Well... he said that the man following Gongzi Cheng has a close relationship with the Special Police Department, right? Then all we need to do is check the relationship network of the guy who poisoned you, and then find out who might be his aide, right?"

"This kind of thing should have been dealt with by the Dali Temple a long time ago..."

Huang Xinglan suddenly couldn't continue.

Indeed, it would be too unreasonable if the Dali Temple did not even follow up on such an obvious clue.

However, Song Zimu did not mention this incident at the press conference. Even when a reporter asked about the highway chase on the day after the murder, he evaded the question by saying the two had nothing to do with each other.

Obviously, this is also part of covering up the truth of the case.

"Don't worry, I have a solution."

Chongxiao thought of another person, the special police captain Zilong who received the commendation at the press conference.

He doesn't know the inside story of his involvement in the investigation, so he must be feeling guilty about himself. It's a good opportunity to ask him to investigate the network of connections of the insider... It's justifiable in terms of his duty.

This is somewhat like a form of revenge, but in order to identify the real culprit as soon as possible, I can't care about that.

Thinking of this, Chongxiao contacted Zilong directly.

The result was very smooth. Zilong, who felt that he had "embezzled" Chongxiao's credit, was extremely respectful. He mentioned this matter more than once on the phone and said that he had already reported to his superiors to explain the real situation at the time, which made Chongxiao laugh and cry.

What the higher-ups want is to suppress the matter. Aren't you just asking for trouble by making a report like this?

And it was agreed that I would be excluded... Zilong, you are indeed an honest man.

"Please rest assured, Master Chongxiao, I will definitely live up to your trust!"

"There's no need to be so... Anyway, thank you for your help, Zilong. Tell me the results as soon as you get them."

Chapter 47: Following the clues, this feeling is hard to accept

"...He really...did that?"

"Yes, and it doesn't seem to be for the daughter of the Huang family."

“What do you want to emphasize?”

"You and I both know it, so why ask again?"

"What if I say...I don't know?"

"Then you're just pretending."

"Hey! Can you at least give me some face?"

"You can choose between your face and your future left prime minister."

"You are so arrogant! You don't even have an official position, but you want to be the left prime minister?"

"It's only a matter of time. Otherwise, I might as well study the formation at home... Look, you lose again."

Zhao Zhen looked at the precarious chess game in front of him, pondered for a moment, and then used the legendary god's move: he slapped the chessboard into a mess.

"I had a wrong posture during my nap and my hand got a little cramped."

Faced with such a rogue friend, Wu Ming had no choice but to put down the chess piece in his hand and began to pack up with a sigh.

He said something like, "Playing chess with you is worse than playing with that lousy chess player that Simuitai is watching."

However, the naughty Zhao Zhen laughed out loud, stood up and walked to the observation deck outside the room.

It was almost dusk, and the setting sun was slowly descending towards the distant mountains. Soon, the cold night of the winter season would completely cover the capital.

"According to what you said, Chongxiao is really just acting out of pure innocence?"

"It's still a short time, so I dare not jump to conclusions, but even if it's not the case...how many people can act like this for pure justice?"

"Well, my friend, you and I are really good friends."

After Wu Ming packed up all the chess pieces, he put them into the chess pot, then stood up and walked to the locker inside the room.

It was obvious that he was very familiar with the environment here.

This exquisite and elegant yet not luxurious room is a study in the Yanhuang Palace.

Contrary to what most Yan people imagine, today's Yan Palace is no longer the residence of the True Dragon Emperor... Its grand scale not only encompasses most of the institutions that deal with state affairs, but also incorporates many scientific research and learning departments in order to cultivate talents for the future of Great Yan.

For example, the Tiance Academy, the highest military education institution, the Taishang Lingguan, which specializes in cultivating the abilities of heavenly masters, the Tianji Pavilion, which is responsible for studying mechanical machinery, and so on.

As for the residence of the True Dragon Emperor, it actually only occupies a small part...

"Let's not talk about Chongxiao for now. Are you really not going to pursue the evil beast he found?"

"How is that possible? Rather than searching them one by one, it's better to find an opportunity to catch them all at once."

"Have you ever thought about the people in the city when you did this?"

Wu Ming's eyes suddenly became sharp.

The conversation between the two has shown that Zhao Zhen did not ignore Chongxiao's discovery, and even grasped something to a certain extent, but he chose to stay put.

He turned around, looking somewhat helpless, "If we clear them out one by one, will the people be safe?"

"At least it won't cause panic."

"Those books really made you stupid. Don't the people panic when monsters appear one after another?"

As if he was disappointed with someone who had failed to live up to his expectations, Zhao Zhen shook his head and said, "When you have time... you should go out more often."

"Okay, then who arranged these monsters? You should have some idea, right?"

"No."

"Bullshit!"

"Really not!"

The expression on Zhao Zhen's face changed to one of righteous indignation, which made Wu Ming unable to find any fault with him.

The two of them studied together since childhood, knew each other well, and had no reservations when talking to each other.

"I still think you're lying to me, but it doesn't matter...it looks like you have a plan anyway."

"That's right, this is my old and reliable classmate."

Too lazy to talk to you!

After reporting everything and Zhao Zhen no longer had the heart to play chess, Wu Ming did not stay for too long and quickly left the room.

However, he didn't know that just half a minute later, Zhao Zhen's face darkened.

This man, who was also a member of the True Dragon Royal Family like Gongzi Cheng, came to the observation deck again, quietly staring at the beautiful sight of the setting sun, but he no longer had the peace and calmness he had before.

How could I... not have any clue?

If I just want to eliminate this disaster and stop the unrest in Da Yan, I must use the same method...

Except for that cruel and merciless evildoer...

……

Zilong's ability to act far exceeded Chongxiao's expectations. In less than a day, he collected clues about the traitor and called immediately afterwards.

It’s also thanks to Chongxiao’s habit of getting up early, otherwise he would definitely be woken up.

Guo Shan has been elusive these days and no one knows what he is doing. Taoist Qinglian seems to have nothing to do and often asks Chongxiao to drink and talk about swordsmanship and kung fu.

By the way, since that day, she has been too lazy to hide her appearance in front of Chongxiao, but it seems that other people still see that ordinary face...

Qinglian, who met Huang Xinglan for the first time, also comforted her about her tragic experience, but it was meaningless... after all, they didn't even know her.

"Jing Ke? Is he related to Gong Zicheng?"

"I don't know, but he is related to the SWAT officer who poisoned you, and he is quite close."

According to the clues provided by Zilong, this man named Jing Ke is the predecessor of the accomplice, and both of them seem to belong to a small faction of the Central District Special Police Bureau.

This person's abilities are quite outstanding. He was promoted to captain in just a few years in the SWAT Bureau. He also completed several extremely difficult missions and even had experience as a guard for Taizi Town. He should have been a popular candidate for promotion to deputy position in the Central District SWAT Bureau, but for unknown reasons he suddenly resigned and seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth.

Among the several people selected from the internal network of relationships, Jing Ke is the most likely suspect.

However, we still have to make sure that he has a relationship with Gongzi Cheng...

Without further ado, Chongxiao immediately set out with Huang Xinglan and arrived at the street where Gongzi Cheng's mansion was located.

The place can be described as picturesque with mountains and clear waters. Moreover, in the Divine Capital City where every inch of land is valuable, using such a vast area to build a private mansion, Chongxiao could not help but curse it as a waste!

Of course, they couldn't go to Jing Ke's house to ask about this person, so they chose a restaurant with a decent flow of people nearby, ready to try to find out if they could find anything there...

By the way, the consumption of this kind of restaurant located in the central area is definitely not something Chongxiao can afford. Instead, Huang Xinglan, who inherited all the inheritance, became a small wealthy woman.

"Brother Chongxiao, do you think anyone here has seen Jing Ke?"

"Of course there is, as long as he has served as your aide."

Chongxiao smiled and motioned her to calm down... The new clues seemed to make Huang Xinglan a little out of control, so it was better to try to prevent her from going to Gongzi Cheng to settle the score.

As for asking the guests?

Are you kidding? With the ability to read minds, do you still need to open your mouth to "deal with" ordinary people here?
