This world of practice is not normal

Chapter 173 The dead friend is not dead

Although Pei Buping was only responsible for investigating cases this trip, it didn't mean that he was a fool who only knew how to investigate cases.

If this case is finally found out on Wu Guo's officials, it will be really troublesome.

"Then ask Elder Wei to lead the way." Pei Buping put away his thoughts and interrupted the chatter of the elder Po Yuezong. Regardless of whether the city guards participated in this matter, Po Yuezong always had to go first. .

Po Yuezong was tens of miles away from Chunzhou City, and the group had their own means of traveling. After half an hour, they arrived at Po Yuezong's mountain gate.

As the most powerful and oldest sect in Chunzhou County with a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles, the mountain gate of Po Yuezong is nearly [-] meters high, allowing visitors to see the majestic atmosphere of the thousand-year-old sect at a glance.

However, the guests who visited the mountain gate today did not take the time to appreciate the majestic aura of Po Yuezong's steaming clouds and mist. They just went up the mountain and went straight to the main hall.

"Sect Master Shi, this time, His Majesty ordered that the case is urgent. If there is any offense against the noble sect, I hope the suzerain master Haihan will come to make amends in person afterward."

Facing an extraordinary suzerain who has been handed down from generation to generation, even if Pei Buping has the emperor's life, his words are full of respect and politeness.

"It doesn't matter, the Qing is self-clearing. Mr. Pei's thorough investigation is also a good thing for me to destroy the Yuezong, so as not to deliberately slander." Shi Lang, the patriarch of the Yuezong, has a much better attitude than the previous elder Wei. As soon as he sat down, some disciples came forward to offer tea.

"Everyone who has been in contact with the Utopia Chamber of Commerce has already been called, Mr. Pei just investigate."

"Thank you, Sovereign Master Haihan." Pei Buping immediately started working after responding. Po Yuezong and the Utopia Chamber of Commerce have contacted quite a few people, 30 people, and each of them truthfully told Pei Buping the details of their contacts with the Chamber of Commerce. time and reason.

The reason most people come into contact with the chamber of commerce is to purchase goods. Po Yuezong is a large sect, and there are also various small hills in the sect. In addition to the unified procurement of the sect, each hill will also have its own procurement needs.

There are also a few elders who are in charge of the sect with relatively high status. Recently, they are discussing with Utopia about the cooperation of guarding. The attitudes of these people are different, but generally they are grateful that the cooperation between the two parties has not been reached yet.

While asking and recording, Pei Buping observed the other person's expression, and at the same time was distinguishing the aura. There were many monks in the fire, gold, and earth auras of the Po Yuezong, but they did not find any aura that had appeared in the courtyard.

This is normal, there are not a few people who know his ability, and those who are suspected will naturally not come out to mess around.

"According to what you said, if this attack hadn't happened, the two sides should have reached a cooperation today, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Pei, the Utopia Chamber of Commerce is very sincere in cooperating, and cooperating with them will do us no harm. But such a big matter must first be approved by the suzerain or the elder, and it will inevitably be delayed for a few days."

Pei Buping nodded, and then proposed the idea of ​​walking around Po Yuezong. After all, Po Yuezong was not a suspect, and their cooperation to this extent was already very good, and he had to investigate the rest by himself.

This request was not very polite, but Po Yuezong still agreed to Pei Buping's request, except for the forbidden area guarded by people in the sect, Pei Buping could go anywhere else.

Luo Dingguo stared at Pei Buping wandering around in Po Yuezong without saying a word. He would not interfere with the other party's investigation, but he always felt that the number one arrester in Wu Kingdom seemed unreliable.

However, he still has the most comprehensive plan. If the Wu people are not sure, they can go to the side to ask Lu Chuan for help, but he knows that Lu Chuan has important things to do every day, so it is a bit extravagant to judge the murderer.

"Elder Wei, may I ask which supreme man's mansion is this?" Pei Buping wandered around Po Yuezong for a long time, and finally found a trace of familiar aura. He found the extraordinary man who had left aura in the courtyard .

This discovery made him feel even worse. It was already a headache to have the city guards involved in it.
Elder Wei's face was not very good-looking, "Mr. Pei, if there is no real evidence, it's better not to bother Elder Cao Chenjing."

"Just asking." Pei Buping ignored Elder Wei's expression, and took the initiative to knock on the door, and soon a disciple came out of the mansion and opened the door.

After the disciple obeyed the whole story, his face also showed a look of displeasure, but he still welcomed a few people in.

After entering the courtyard, Pei Buping confirmed even more that it was the aura of this extraordinary supreme being. This extraordinary supreme had clearly been to the chamber of commerce, but he was not in the main hall just now.

With Sect Master Po Yuezong Shi's attitude today, the most likely situation is that this Elder Cao has been to the chamber of commerce and concealed this from the sect.

After everyone said their names to each other and explained their intentions, Pei Buping got to the point.

"Elder Cao, have you left Po Yuezong these days?" After asking, Pei Buping stared at Cao Chenjing's facial expression, waiting for the other party's answer.

"No." Cao Chenjing's response was flat and indifferent.

"Then have any other extraordinary supreme come to visit you in the past few days?"

"...never." Cao Chenjing still answered like this.

Pei Buping bowed his head and saluted, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and then he exited the mansion. He is not stupid, even if he has special abilities, he would not be able to press him as a suspect in front of an extraordinary supreme, isn't it? It's too long.

Cao Chenjing lied, although he didn't know that he had a problem, but the emperor only gave him one day, so the first scapegoat has already been obtained.

"Is there something wrong with Elder Cao just now?" Luo Dingguo asked only after Po Yuezong left.

Pei Buping wandered around Po Yuezong, and asked Cao Chenjing a few more questions. It would be strange if he had no problem.

"There are not enough clues at the moment, but he should have been to the chamber of commerce."

"Why didn't you take him away for questioning?" Luo Dingguo's eyes suddenly became sharper. A person who had been to the Chamber of Commerce concealed this matter.

"I dare not." Pei Buping said confidently, "I have no substantive evidence, and I am not qualified to interrogate a Transcendent Supreme."

"There is no rule of law." Luo Dingguo frowned, "Then what should we do next?"

"Continue to check. If you don't follow me and bother me all the time, I will check faster."

Luo Dingguo was pissed off by him, you weren't so pushy when you faced Cao Chenjing, isn't Lao Tzu a supernatural being?
Even if Pei Buping said so, Luo Dingguo would still follow him. Luo Dinguo would supervise his entire investigative process, find out the truth, and prevent Wu Guo from casually throwing out a scapegoat, saying that he had found the murderer.

Luo Dingguo was like a brown candy that couldn't be shaken off, which made Pei Buping a little annoyed. If he kept following, he would have no chance to go to the city guards to investigate the situation in more detail.

In case it was found out on the spot that there was something wrong with the city guards, there would be no room for cover-up and mediation.

But Emperor Wu put too much time on him, so Pei Buping quickly made a decision that a dead fellow Taoist would not die a poor daoist.

Cao Chenjing is the supernatural being Pei Buping can't afford to offend. He is the master in front of the city guards. He asked Chen Rong to call all the city guards patrolling nearby, and immediately caught those who had entered the yard, and then Separate interrogation.

"Tell me, why were you in the yard before the Utopia Chamber of Commerce was attacked?"

"It's wrong, my lord, I didn't."

"Chop off one of his fingers." Pei Buping interrupted his defense in a nonchalant tone without even looking at the man. Luo Dingguo was amazed by his face-changing skills.

The local policemen in Chunzhou didn't dare to disobey Pei Buping's order, so they drew their knives and forced them over. Amidst the voice of the city guard who kept shouting for grievances, he carried out the order.

"You think about it here slowly, I'm going to interrogate your accomplices, you guys, chop off a finger every 1 minute, and chop off your toes after chopping off your fingers. I think you really have a bad brain. I can How many people are selected from so many people, don't you know how to count?"

Pei Buping's words quickly penetrated the city guard's psychological defenses, making him realize that he and the others had been betrayed.

"My lord! I say!"

The interrogation statements of several city guards came out soon. The reason why these people went to the chamber of commerce was very simple. They wanted to buy some flowers after dinner at night, and they had no money, so someone came up with this Bad idea, go to the chamber of commerce to get some money.

The attitude of the Utopia Chamber of Commerce in Chunzhou County to the small local snakes like the City Guards has always been to avoid disasters. As long as you don’t go too far and find an excuse to say that the chamber of commerce needs to be rectified, the other side will give you a small amount of money. .

But they didn't expect it, when they came to "blackmail", several long-planned lunatics followed them into the protective formation, and started a massacre after controlling the formation.

Afterwards, these lunatics did not kill them. After taking them away, they gave them some money and asked them to choose between dying immediately or becoming an accomplice.

He also said that the crime scene had been smashed up, and the official investigation was also to investigate the supernatural powers monks, and they would not involve them.

"Take out what they gave you." Pei Buping frowned slightly, although these people are idiots, it's okay if they don't have much to do with the attack.

Trembling, a few people took out a few yuan stones and Wu Guo coins, and each had a mobile phone. From these stolen goods, Pei Buping could only smell something related to the murderer.

The separate confessions and evidences of these people were very detailed, so Pei Buping believed their words for the time being.

"Among those murderers, is there a Transcendent Supreme?"

The several city guards looked at each other in blank dismay, and with their eyesight, they couldn't tell the difference between the Transcendent Supreme and the supernatural powerhouse.

"Is there anyone who is about this tall and looks like this?" Pei Buping thought for a while, and simply drew a portrait of Cao Chenjing himself, and showed it to several people.

"It's him!" Several people nodded their heads, and then praised Pei Buping flatteringly. The painting was exactly the same as the murderer that night.

"The investigation is clear, right? All the evidence points to this man named Cao Chenjing." After several city guards were taken away, Luo Dingguo asked Pei Buping, who was frowning and silent.

"It went too smoothly. These city guards have no reason to live, but they seem to be witnesses deliberately left for me." Pei Buping breathed out, pinching his brows and thinking about the case.

"And the key physical evidence, that is, the goods you lost have not yet been found. I suspect that the evidence is in Po Yuezong, waiting for us to find it, or someone related to Cao Chenjing will soon bring the evidence to the door. .

Of course, this is just my intuition after years of patrol work. "

"Shouldn't you rely on evidence to handle the case?" Luo Dingguo frowned, the evidence was all on his face, and Pei Buping wanted to exonerate Po Yuezong, did he clean it?
"Under extraordinary power, it is too easy to forge evidence. At least I haven't thought of the reason why these idiots survived just now."

Pei Buping stood up and was about to walk out the door, but Luo Dingguo didn't know why, so he followed.

His intuition told him that the matter was not that simple, but if Emperor Wu wanted to get the result within a day, he could only follow the clues and evidence, and go to Yuezong again.

A dead fellow Taoist is not a poor daoist, why did all the evidence point to you?

"Lu Chuan, where are you now?" When Lu Chuan received the news from Luo Dingguo, the convoy had already arrived in Changyang County.

The itinerary on the road made Lu Chuan feel a little strange. Ding Xingrong and Qin Xiao have been scouting with the convoy at high altitude for the past few days. They have not encountered any attack on the road during the two days. I feel that the law and order environment in the east is much better than that in the west. .

The person in charge of the Changyang County caravan heard that Lu Chuan and the others had to sleep in tents in Jingkui County yesterday because there were too many people. Today, there are caravans from five counties in Changyang, and the yard is even more difficult to live in.

So he booked a medium-sized inn in Jingkui County in advance, and moved all the protective formations here, anyway, he had to take them away tomorrow.

After Lu Chuan replied to Luo Dingguo's message, within half an hour, Luo Dingguo appeared in front of him.

"Long time no see, Uncle Luo, I should call you Minister Luo now." Lu Chuan said with a smile, and took the initiative to shake hands with Lao Luo. When he was in Utopia, Luo Dingguo was busy outside, and the two hadn't seen each other for a long time.

"Minister or not, they are all workers." After Luo Dingguo shook hands with Lu Chuan, he also shook hands with Yu Huan, Jiang Tao and others beside him.

Luo Dingguo came all the way to find Lu Chuan must have something important to do, everyone exchanged a few words, and the two went to the room alone.

"I came from Chunzhou this trip. Wu Guo's head arrest this time was not easy. In more than a day, all the witnesses and evidence were found out. The suspect is Cao Chenjing, the extraordinary elder who broke the Yuezong, but the stolen goods were returned by others. Deny it."

Lu Chuan frowned and said, "You want me to help verify whether he is the murderer? This verification is useless, and my golden finger cannot be used as evidence to convict him."

"It's not that simple. Not only did he not admit it, but the head catcher also told me in private that he suspected that the investigation went too smoothly. The evidence seemed to be sent up by someone, but Emperor Wu gave him a death order to solve the case in one day. He We can only submit the result.”

Luo Dingguo shook his head and said, "If the speculation he said is true, it means that there is a secret force targeting us, and even leading us to violent conflict with Wu Kingdom."

"According to the situation you said, it can only be Jing Guo." Lu Chuan also became serious. If Jing Guo is behind the scenes, then the significance of this matter is very unusual.

"This matter needs a clear answer, so I came to you in such a hurry." Luo Dingguo looked at Lu Chuan seriously, and Lu Chuan stretched out his hand to him, "What's wrong?"

"Give me the money. Your problem is not a project of the Ministry of Science. If I give you a fortune-telling, you won't be charged? You are a dignified deputy minister, don't you want to prostitute for nothing?"
