Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 111 Longer (one more)
Wu Chen said: "They want to keep their official hats, but they have no ability to find out the real culprit, so they have to frame them. The framed ones are full of flaws. Now that they are discovered, they are naturally flustered."

"How do you know that the county magistrate was not greedy for the Cao family's wealth?" Xu Da asked.

Wu Chen said: "Chen Wuzhao is the magistrate of a county. Whatever he wants, he takes it slowly. Why would he do such a stupid thing as killing a chicken and taking eggs? Or did he handle such a big case before he left office? The money may be more than what you got from the Cao family, why bother?"

Sophomore and Xu Da nodded.

Wu Chen pursed his lips and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, Cao Bingshan won't survive."

"You have said everything like that, the county captain will try his best to save Cao Bingshan, maybe he can save his life..."

Wu Chen waved his hand to interrupt the second year of senior high school and said, "The county magistrate and county lieutenant really don't want Cao Bingshan to live, but Cao Bingshan's death is the best after the report, but I think Cao Bingshan doesn't look like he can live until Chen Wuzhao takes care of it. Maybe there are still people who don't want Cao Bingshan to live."

"Who?" Senior Two and Xu Da asked in unison.

"The real murderer." Wu Chen stood up and walked to the door, looked back at the courtyard and said, "Come out and have a look, what's the view in the courtyard?"

Gao Er and Xu Da walked to the door and looked at the courtyard, Gao Er said: "Can this be called a scenery? Brother Wu needs to see more."

Wu Chen stared at the corner of the corridor in the courtyard and said:
"Since they can't see you and I can see you, you should be able to believe that I might be able to help you. If it's not convenient for you to come here now, then wait until night, when there is no one around me, come and tell me See if I can help you."

Senior Two and Xu Da quickly returned to the living room and sat down. The yamen guard outside the door looked around in surprise, and then looked at Wu Chen in surprise.

Something in the corner is missing.

Wu Chen turned around and went back to the living room to sit down, the second grader hurriedly asked, "Did you see it again?"

Wu Chen picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea, and said, "If there are a lot of unjust cases in the county government, it's not surprising to see them. Like in Anping County, there are so many cases that you can't imagine."

"Is there... a lot here?"

Wu Chen shook his head and said:
"I don't know yet. During the day, most of them will hide in the walls or dark places. They will be more unscrupulous at night. Just see how many people come to me tonight. The ghosts here may have a chance Hearing something can save us a lot of trouble."

Senior Two and Xu Da both breathed a sigh of relief, and they only silently sympathized with Datou in their hearts. After two seconds, Senior Second asked again: "Shall we go see a doctor for consultation?"

Wu Chen thought for a while and said, "Order them to send Cao Bingshan to our house for treatment, and let Guo Xuan be by his side. I want to see how they do it. Once they do it, they will point out a direction."

The sophomore stood up and walked towards the door and asked: "I can understand that the county magistrate and county lieutenant wanted to kill Cao Bingshan, but why did the real murderer kill Cao Bingshan?"

"Perhaps Cao Bingshan still knows something, so why didn't he be killed when the case happened? I can't say right now, but I just have this hunch that they will kill Cao Bingshan."

Xu Da said:
"Si Zun called you here to investigate the case. No matter who the people behind the scenes are, I'm afraid they would never have thought of it. They wanted to take advantage of the fact that all the people from the Investigation Department of the Imperial City were transferred to Anping County, and they had no time to take care of this side. It’s a good idea to get away with the theory of ghosts, but they don’t know that we have you now in the Investigative Department of the Imperial City…”

The sophomore made arrangements at the door, turned around and said:
"If this is the case, it will be interesting. They don't know anything about Brother Wu. How will the next big drama be performed? No matter who is ordered to investigate this case, it will be Chen Wuzhao who takes the lead. The few interrogations he or she participates in It can be seen that he is so frightened now that he probably knows that he is being used as a pawn."

"You're smarter now." Xu laughed and stood up: "Let's go, let's stop waiting here, what if the walls have ears."

Wu Chen also stood up, and the three of them chatted as they walked. Wu Chen asked, "This case will be handled by the Imperial City Investigative Department. Does it mean that, like Anping County, the government attaches great importance to it?"

The sophomore said: "That's natural. The five-color jade case is related to the military. No one can rest assured that such a big case will be handed over to the investigator."

Xu Da said: "Maybe there are other reasons. Other yamen will send people to investigate, and it will take three to five months to find out. Only people from the Investigation Department of the Imperial City will investigate, so it can be quicker."

Wu Chen walked forward with his hands behind his back, but he was thinking in his heart that it wasn't all a bad thing for this spy agency to meddle in local affairs at will. If good people were in control, it would indeed be able to get twice the result with half the effort, but how to define good people and bad people?

The sophomore looked at Wu Chen's back, and suddenly said to Xu Da with emotion: "Have you noticed that Brother Wu has grown up!"

Xu Da nodded and said: "Not only has he grown taller, but he has also become much stronger. He is so handsome and upright. When he returns to the capital, there will be an endless stream of people proposing marriage."

The sophomore in high school sighed and said, "I don't know if Pinggu will be able to deal with the inner house dispute in the future."

Xu Da said: "I don't think so, Ping Gu's temper is too blunt, she doesn't understand gentleness, and she doesn't understand the rules of the capital, how can she compete with other girls for favor?"

Wu Chen turned to look at the two of them speechlessly and asked, "Are you two free?"

……

When the three of them returned to the house, most of them had already woken up and were sitting on the porch of the yard in a daze. When they saw Wu Chen coming back, they just waved their hands and were not very energetic.

Wu Chen frowned and walked forward, asking, "But is it not comfortable for lunch?"

The big head nodded aggrievedly and said: "I endured all the way, thinking that I can eat as happily and deliciously as Anping County when I get to the place, but today's lunch is all vegetarian dishes, and I am not full."

Wu Chen hurriedly ordered someone to tell the kitchen that there must be meat for dinner, and Datou was immediately happy.

The second year of high school said: "This matter still has to be big-headed brothers. We didn't pay attention when we ate."

Xu Da said: "We only thought about running errands after eating, so naturally we didn't think so much."

But Wu Chen frowned and said, "Order someone to investigate. Was Lin Duzhi also a vegetarian like this when he was here?"

The second year of high school asked: "Do you think that people in the kitchen favor one another?"

"They don't dare!" Wu Chen lowered his face, and said, "Where are the people who check the kitchen from, and where did they buy the ingredients?"

The second year of high school and Xu Da glanced at each other, as if they understood a little bit.

Soon, some soldiers came to report that the kitchen had been replaced in the afternoon.

"Who changed it?" Wu Chen asked.

The soldier replied: "It was found by people from Lin Duzhi before. When Lin Duzhi left, the cook settled the money and left. Now the people from the county government helped find the cook. The ingredients for the food have just been bought. It is said that it is the same place as the county government’s daily purchases.”
