Demon detective

Chapter 195
At dawn the next day, Xu Zhen, Dongfang Meiyan, and Sima Xin gathered in the prison of the county yamen to continue discussing the case.

"It has been monitored for so long, and there is nothing unusual." Dongfang Meiyan spoke first, "There is no suspicious person around Lian Ji. She doesn't look like she is being watched."

"But..." Sima Xin wanted to say something, but he had some scruples.

"But," Xu Zhen knew what he was going to say, so he took the bait and said, "The less suspicious, the more suspicious!"

"Yeah, I know," Dongfang Meiyan nodded, "Yaolou is the information station of Jinzuoyuan, Lian Ji has been experiencing abnormalities recently, it is impossible for Yaolou not to check.

"But there is still no response from the demon building, which means that there is something wrong with it. Could it be... that the entire demon building...is full of enemies?"

"I think..." Xu Zhen said, "If we can find those five containers, maybe the case will be settled!"

"Nonsense," Dongfang Meiyan glanced at Xu Zhen, "Fang Wubing must have hidden them in a hard-to-find place, otherwise, those people wouldn't be so painstaking."

"That's right," Sima Xin echoed, "The so-called mysterious organization probably thought that Rusty Knife was in those five containers, but it was hidden by Fang Wubing, so they took pains to interrogate Fang Wubing, um... "

Before Sima Xin finished speaking, he was surprised to see that Xu Zhen took out a map from his arms and unfolded it on the table.

"This..." Sima Xin grinned, "Isn't this the map of my study? You..."

In a feudal dynasty with backward technology, a map is an extremely precious thing.

"Borrow it and use it," Xu Zhen spread out the map and pointed to a certain place on the map and said, "You two, please see, this location is what Lian Ji said. Back then, she met Fang Wubing and saw it with her own eyes. A place for five containers."

"This place is called Shili Pavilion." Sima Xin realized that Xu Zhen meant something, and immediately became serious. "It is the most famous place to send off in Grand View City."

"Lian Ji said," Dongfang Meiyan also became serious, "She saw Fang Wubing on the day of the robbery, and she didn't see Fang Wubing's accomplices, which means that Fang Wubing had already killed his accomplices at that time, five large boxes on the carriage."

"Lian Ji saw that one of the boxes of goods was the top-secret file of the inner guard," Xu Zhen said, "The other four boxes are all locked, and I don't know what's in them. Combining all these information, what can it explain?"

"Fang Wubing finished robbing Wanfeng Bank, then left the city as fast as he could, and then there was internal strife, killing his accomplices and leaving the Buddha's head gold," Dongfang Meiyan said, "Then, he came to the pick-up place to meet Lian Ji, explain the situation to Lian Ji, and then make a plan...

"And then, when Lian Ji left, Fang Wubing first hid five boxes of containers, and was captured by the government two days later, then..."

"Look," Xu Zhen pointed to a certain place on the map. "This is the place where Fang Wubing was finally captured by the government. It is far from the place where he met Lian Ji."

"Two days," Sima Xin frowned bitterly, "Where can Fang Wubing hide the five boxes of things in these two days? You know, the whole city was under martial law at that time, and the soldiers sent out were constantly expanding the search area. , he is carrying five big boxes, isn't it too conspicuous? Unless..."

"Unless..." Dongfang Meiyan stared at the map and said, "He didn't hide things too far away, he hid near the Ten Mile Pavilion. The reason why you caught him in the north was nothing more than trying to divert your attention."

"Shili Pavilion..." Sima Xin nodded slightly, "If that's the case, then I'll organize my staff immediately, and then look for it there?"

"It's not impossible, it's just..." Dongfang Meiyan worried, "What if Lian Ji lied? She is the only witness of the whole incident, and we have no way of proving whether her words are true."

"No problem," Xu Zhen said affirmatively, "Pity Lian Ji said it when she saw that Fang Wubing was dead, and all thoughts were lost, so she probably wasn't lying.

"It's just," Xu Zhen said instead, "We had previously assumed that Fang Wubing might have other accomplices. If his accomplices moved the container, we would definitely not be able to find it."

"Xu Zhen," Dongfang Meiyan asked, "Are you really so sure that Fang Wubing must have an accomplice?"

"First," Xu Zhen conjectured, "when the government caught Fang Wubing, they didn't see the carriage!
"Secondly, there was internal strife in the robbery group, and it was an accident that Fang Wubing killed his accomplice, so hiding the five boxes of containers must have been a temporary idea. If there is no accomplice, he will definitely not be able to handle the five boxes of containers."

"That's right," Sima Xin nodded. "The search was so intensive at that time, no matter in terms of time and manpower, it was indeed not easy for him to hide five boxes of containers."

"I thought of something," Dongfang Meiyan said, "Isn't it inappropriate to bury the files in the container deep in the ground? Once it rains and gets flooded, won't they all be destroyed? Maybe it's better to hide them somewhere?

"Lord Sima, is there such a place near Shili Pavilion?"

"Tsk tsk..." Xu Zhen frowned and smacked her lips. Dongfang Meiyan seemed to be intentionally not following her own train of thought. I don't know if she was stubborn or wanted to change the topic.

"No, there are all forests there." After Sima Xin replied, he also realized something, and said, "If there are really accomplices, I'm afraid they would have taken those five boxes of things and gone away?"

"Accomplice...Accomplice..." Dongfang Meiyan said angrily, "If there is an accomplice, then we are all doing useless work now, it would be more realistic to send someone to search for Shiliting."

"No," Xu Zhen loosened his shoulders, "You may not understand what I mean, the reason why I say this is because I almost already know who Fang Wubing's accomplice is!"

"Ah? What!?"

Dongfang Meiyan and Sima Xin were shocked at the same time.

"You know..." Dongfang Meiyan raised her eyebrows high, "Who is Fang Wubing's accomplice?"

"Moreover," Xu Zhen looked at the two of them and said, "Fang Wubing's accomplice has always been by our side!"

"what!?"

The two were shocked again when they heard the words, and looked at each other suspiciously.

After all, there are only the three of them here. If it wasn't Xu Zhen, who else could it be?
"Who is it? Tell me!" Dongfang Meiyan was impatient, and a round pebble appeared in her hand at some point.

"From the very beginning, I have a question, and I haven't said it," Xu Zhen said, "Why should a criminal like Fang Wubing be imprisoned in the county government prison in Daguan City?"

"Huh?" Dongfang Meiyan and Sima Xin were slightly taken aback, obviously they were not aware of this problem.

"The inner guard didn't take Fang Wubing away, the Sanju didn't sentence him to death, and the God Detective didn't try him, but he just left him in this small county prison. Is there really nothing wrong with that?" Xu Really question.

"Is there?" Sima Xin wondered, "At that time, Fang Wuyi still had an organization, and there were people covering him, how he wanted to be sentenced, where he wanted to be locked up, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it?"

"The point is," Xu Zhen said, "why do you have to choose the county government prison in Daguan City?"

"You..." Dongfang Meiyan was anxious, "Xu Zhen, what do you mean? Tell me!"

"Maybe, I have to accept a fact that I am least willing to admit." Xu Zhen frowned instantly, and said in a very embarrassed way, "I suspect that Fang Wubing's accomplice is none other than my uncle——Zhang Lin!! !"
