Demon detective

Chapter 170
"I didn't think much about it before," said Sima Xin, who was sitting in the carriage, frowning on the way to the county government prison, "but after Master Xu's question, I really felt a lot of doubts."

can't...

Xu Zhen thought to himself that six years ago, Fang Wubing managed to steal five unknown lockers. He didn't know what was inside the lockers, and he didn't know who the owner of the lockers was.

The point is that the storage cabinet was saved more than 30 years ago, which is really strange.

Xu Zhen felt that Fang Wubing might have found the proofs for the five boxes of lockers, but because of his age, he couldn't remember the code words, so he had to rob them.

And if this inference is true, it is enough to show that Fang Wubing's purpose is very clear, from the very beginning, he just wanted to grab those five boxes of things.

Gee...

What will be in those five boxes?

"About those five boxes," Xu Zhen asked Sima Xin, "what did Fang Wubing say?"

"It's gold and silver treasures," Sima Xin replied, "When the interrogator was healthy, he never changed his statement, saying that they knew there was a priceless treasure in Wanfeng's treasury, so they specifically carried out the robbery.

"But after the robbery, before he had time to see the contents of the box, he was plotted against by his accomplices."

"No," Xu Zhen said, "Fang Wubing was caught by the government two days after the robbery. If he was plotted against at the beginning, how could there be a delay of two days?"

"Indeed," Sima Xin nodded, "There are indeed many doubts in this case, but unfortunately, I hadn't come to Songzhou back then, and I have never been involved in this case.

"Master Xu," Sima Xin asked in a low voice, looking around, "Don't you know how to count? How about a divination?"

"The calamity I calculated may have occurred in these five storage cabinets," Xu Zhen said seriously, "but the mystery of it will have to be further explored to find out.

"And..." Xu Zhen's face was gloomy, and he put pressure on the other party, "Did you notice just now that there is a murderous intent hidden in the Wanfeng Bank?"

"Ah?" Sima Xin was startled, "Murderous?"

"Perhaps, it's just because after the robbery last time, that shopkeeper Wan has increased his manpower?" Xu Zhen said, "But anyway, I feel more and more that this is not a good thing, and the catastrophe may come early."

"Ah?" Sima Xin rushed outside and urged the coachman to drive faster.

Daguan City covers a huge area, and the carriage drove for half an hour before finally arriving at the prison of the county yamen.

Sima Xin is now the number one person in charge of the case, and naturally he dared not stand in the way of the door, whether it was the county government or the prison guards.

So, under the leadership of Sima Xin, Xu Zhen went all the way unimpeded, entered the prison from the main entrance, passed through four heavily guarded gates, and finally came to the felon cell located in the deepest part of the prison.

During the entire march, Sima Xin also told Xu Zhen the information about the guard patrol route of the cell at that time and the arrangement of the personnel on duty.

"Nothing here has been moved," Sima Xin ordered his subordinates to open the iron door of the cell, pointing to the interior, and introduced, "Fang Wubing's shackles and prison uniform are still on the ground, but he seems to have evaporated from the world! "

Xu Zhen entered the cell, which was similar to their Yanping county government's recidivist cell, filled with a complex and foul smell, dimly lit, and unusually cold and damp.

The whole cell is clear at a glance, there is only a small bed built of stones, with some extremely simple daily items on the bed, a urine bucket inside, and nothing else.

However, there is a small air window on the high side of the cell. The air window is pitifully small, and there are densely packed iron nets on it. Let alone a living person, it is difficult for even a mouse to get out of it. get out there.

Xu Zhen looked at the shackles scattered on the ground. Because Fang Wubing possessed martial arts, the shackles were much heavier than ordinary people's, and he had to wear locks on both hands and feet, especially two heavy iron balls hanging from the end of the anklets. It is difficult for the party to move without illness.

However, all the shackles were opened, and the prison uniform worn by Fang Wubing was still on the ground. It really looked like he disappeared out of thin air.

"The iron door of the severe punishment cell is always locked," Sima Xin introduced from the side. "There is only one key on the prison guard on duty, and the other is at the head of the cell. Also, the key to the shackles is only with the head of the cell." There is one."

Xu Zhen listened to Sima Xin's introduction, but wandered around in the cell, lifted the cushion on the stone bed, and knocked on the stone below.

"I've searched everything here!" Sima Xin hurriedly explained, "You can see that there is nothing unusual about the joints of the stone bed, there is absolutely no problem."

"If there is no problem in the room, then..." After Xu Zhen observed for a while, he seemed to find nothing unusual, then got up and said, "It can only be caused by man!"

"On that day," Sima Xin seemed to have been waiting for Xu Zhen's words, and introduced without hesitation, "there were twelve guards on duty in the prison. After the incident, we locked them up and tortured them. torture.

"But..." Sima Xin shook his head helplessly, "After so many days of interrogation, these people have all insisted that they don't know anything. This is... so strange!"

Gee...

Xu Zhen smacked his lips secretly, it seemed that he was still late, and his uncle Zhang Lin had already suffered.

"By the way," Sima Xin said again, "That prison boss is very suspicious. Master Xu, I think you should ask him! I always feel that he doesn't look like he was framed by someone!"

"No, no," Xu Zhen waved his hand immediately, "I'm going to check the prison head's room now, and I also need a floor plan of the entire prison, as well as information about all the jailers."

He said in his heart, how could his uncle and nephew meet at this time?If uncle sees me, won't all of them be ruined?
"Okay," Sima Xin said, pointing to the outside, "The prison head's room is across from the prison cell. I'll take you there. I'll send all the documents you need there too!"

Xu Zhen nodded, and immediately followed Sima Xin out of the cell, wanting to go through the air to the area where the head of the cell was.

However, as soon as they went out, they suddenly saw more than ten people kneeling in the open space!

These people wear shackles with both hands, but they all wear the clothes of jailers.

"This..." Xu Zhen can almost tell at a glance that these people are probably the jailers who were on duty when the accident happened.

How could they be outside?

"Xu Zhen...Xu Zhen!? Am I dazzled?" As a result, before Xu Zhen could reach the front, he suddenly saw a man with a steel beard, like Zhong Kui, rushing towards him from the kneeling crowd. Shouted loudly, "Why are you here? My eldest nephew?"

Depend on!
Xu Zhen suddenly seemed to be blown by a grenade. He never expected that his uncle Zhang Lin would be here.

This is too pitiful for my nephew! ?
Xu Zhen hurriedly looked at Sima Xin, however, seeing the past made him feel even colder.

But seeing Sima Xin showing a smug smile, looking at him like a fool...
