Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 114 Questioning (Second Update)
Wu Chen looked Liang Kuan up and down. He had a lean figure, a gray beard, and a slightly hunched back. He seemed to be in his fifties or sixties.

"You recognize Cao Bingde, right?" Wu Chen asked.

Liang Kuan was taken aback for a moment, then replied, "Naturally."

"What do you think he died of?"

"Uh... I don't know."

"Have you ever been to this place?" Wu Chen asked again.

"Today is the first time since the accident."

"How do you know that five hundred soldiers were killed here?"

"A yamen servant once came with the county magistrate, and saw five hundred soldiers fall here with his own eyes."

"Oh? Call the yamen servant, I have something to ask."

Liang Kuan turned around and waved to several yamen servants, who hurried over.

"They all followed County Magistrate Chen to this place," Liang Kuan introduced.

"Do you recognize Li Wu?" Wu Chen asked.

"I know." Several people said in unison.

"Did Li Wu come here with you that day?"

"Yes."

"Which of you found the soldier alive?"

"Eh..., at that time, then..." Several people hesitated.

"Let's talk about the time first."

A yamen servant said: "At that time, there were 50 to [-] people who came with the county magistrate Chen. We were all so frightened that we didn't dare to go forward to check, but we had to check, so... we simply took a look."

"Did no one say anything?"

"At that time, I was so frightened that I just wanted to get out of here as soon as possible, and then we dug a hole next to it. We almost died of exhaustion before we buried five hundred soldiers."

"Buried it that day?"

"Yes."

"and after?"

"After returning to the Yamen, Li Wucai said that when he checked, he found that the two soldiers were still alive..."

"Did he say it right after you returned to the yamen, or did he say it after a while?"

Several people thought about it, and one person said: "When we first returned to the Yamen, it was already dark, we were in a hurry to eat, I remember it seemed to be after the meal."

The few remaining people nodded again and again.

Wu Chen nodded, and asked again: "It was discovered by the nearby villagers first, and then they went to the county government to report the case, so you are here right?"

Several people nodded again.

"Do you know where this villager is now?"

"I heard that I was scared to death a few days ago." A yamen servant replied.

"Who did you hear that from?" Wu Chen frowned.

Several people looked at each other, and one person said: "They all said that, and we can't remember who said it."

"Do you know where the villager who reported the crime lives?"

Several people looked at Liang Kuan, Liang Kuan hurriedly stepped forward and said: "There was a record, and I checked it before I came out. If Mr. Wu wants to ask his family members, I can lead the way."

Wu Chen nodded approvingly, and said, "Wait a minute, I'll check the surroundings first."

"It's better if I let the yamen servants go and bring his family, which can save time." Liang Kuan said.

Wu Chen nodded, and Liang Kuan went to make arrangements.

Wu Chen raised his head to look at the mountain, and then turned his head to look at the road when he saw it. There was a high mountain on one side and a plain on the other. There was really no need to walk around the mountain with 500 people escorting the five-color jade, but the scene was close to the foot of the mountain.

A team of 500 people is still cavalry, walking on the official road is bound to attract attention. Someone saw the team on the side of the mountain at noon, but the next morning the whole team died strangely at the foot of the mountain. According to the time calculation, they should wear It's right to go over Laojie Mountain and go to the east of the mountain.

This is also one of the reasons why Chen Wuzhao felt that the Yin soldiers were robbing the Dao.

Wu Chen was looking around, Gao Er and Xu Da walked over, Gao Er asked: "The questions you asked just now, is it the same to go back and ask Li Wu? He is currently being imprisoned by us, how dare he lie?"

"Most people take chances. I don't understand clearly. Even if I ask, how can I believe it?" Wu Chen said.

Xu Damang asked: "The staff member who advised Chen Wuzhao died strangely. I don't understand why he was killed? I mean, he only needs to kill him because he thinks the evil soldiers did it. What happened to him, at least not for the time being."

Wu Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "Yeah, why are they in such a hurry to act? Wang Lin just had an idea, why is he guilty? And yesterday he wanted to escape early, and I haven't shown my ability yet."

The second year of high school said: "If you want me to say, he must have other dirty things that he is afraid of being found out..."

"Do you know how long Lin has been here? Why didn't Wang Lin run away? Did he wait until I came?" Wu Chen asked.

"You... your reputation has spread far and wide?" the sophomore asked.

"Hmph! Anyone with a heart is busy with the things on those big carts, who has time to pay attention to me? Except for the ghost gang, who would recognize me?"

Xu Da asked: "Is this the work of the Ghost Mandrill Gang again?"

Wu Chen smiled and said:

"The Ghost Mandrill Gang is far bigger than what we thought before. The things in the mountains in Anping County are what the Ghost Mandrill Gang will definitely get. They know that they will no longer be able to hang out in Xingguo in the future, so they will definitely come out with all their strength. The five-color jade case It happened 20 days ago, that is to say, the battle between us and the Ghost Gang was the most intense at that time, and when we saw the result immediately, they were still in the mood to make arrangements here... Of course, this is not certain, maybe the five-color jade is not good for them. Very important."

The sophomore said: "I really don't know what use a rock can do."

Wu Chen shrugged and said, "I need some clues before I can infer. After the villagers come over, I'll ask some questions, then dig a corner to see if the bones are still there, and then we'll go up the mountain to have a look."

"What do you want to see when you go up the mountain?" Xu Da asked.

"Just take a look, isn't it that many practitioners are running to this mountain? Since there is such a spiritual mountain, how can there be Yin soldiers floating around?"

Gao Er hurriedly said: "It's true, if this mountain is protected by immortal energy, it's too late for the Yin soldiers to hide!"

Wu Chen said with a smile: "Look, the trick of the people behind the scenes is still useful, as long as we say it, we will unconsciously think about it."

As soon as Wu Cheng finished speaking, Liang Broadband walked over with a woman and a young man.

"These two are family members of Zhang Cai, the villager who reported the incident." Liang Kuan walked up to Wu Chen and introduced.

The two saluted Wu Chen. Wu Chen put his hands behind his back, straightened his waist and asked, "Will you be by my side when Zhang Cai died?"

The two shook their heads, and the woman said: "He went hunting in the mountains and hasn't returned for a long time, so I have to trouble my uncle to go up the mountain to look for it. The uncle came back soon, and he carried the child's father on his back, saying that he was out of breath when he found it."

Wu Chen asked the young man again: "You live with your elder brother?"

The young man nodded.

"When you saw your brother, he was already dead by the side of the road?"

"Yes."

"Is the place of death not far from the village?"

"Yes."

"Is he injured?"

"No, it's just, it's just that you can't die with peace."

"And with a frightened face?"

"Yes."

"Was it day or night when you found your brother?"

"dusk."

Wu Chen nodded, and asked the woman, "Is life at home still going on?"
