Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 124 Trial of Chen Wuzhao ([-]) One more

Wu Chen knew it well. Right now, these people's nerves were tense and they couldn't move. They only thought about not admitting it, but they didn't have time to figure out how to avoid it.

But what Wu Chen didn't expect was that after going in and out three times, the few people were still killed and didn't know each other.

Wu Chen squinted at the few people supporting each other in the courtyard. Could it be that he was overthinking it?Ordinary people would not be able to bear it the first time, but they were able to get out of it three times. Wu Chen was a little puzzled.

After the fourth round of body identification, Wu Chen chose the person who looked the most frightened, and when he was identifying the body, he suddenly shouted: "You know it!"

The man knelt down and said in a trembling voice: "These three people, these three people have given us a lot of silver taels, here, stay overnight in the Taoist temple."

Wu Chen was very kind and asked, "Why do you pretend you don't know each other?"

"These three people, the night these three people stayed overnight, talked, said something, we overheard, know, know that they are related to Shanxia, ​​Shanxia..."

The man fainted before he finished speaking.

Wu Chen was carried out to wake him up, then went to the courtyard and asked the rest of the people, "What did the three in the room say in the Taoist temple?"

Several people looked at each other, the old Taoist thought about it again, and then said: "It's not that we deliberately concealed it, but, it's that we really don't want to have anything to do with the murder at the foot of the mountain. We are afraid that no one will believe us if we tell it. "

Wu Chen lowered his face and asked, "Do you need me to ask again?"

"They said they were going to lie in ambush at the foot of the mountain and kill the investigators. If one comes and kills the other, the investigation can no longer continue... We heard these few words, and we knew that we were with the mountain..."

"Since that's the case, why don't you dare to admit it? Doesn't this prove that it has nothing to do with you?" Wu Chen asked.

"We, we just don't want to be involved in the murder at the foot of the mountain..."

Wu Chen waved his hand and said to the yamen servant, "Put them in first."

After the yamen servant took a few people away, Wu Chen looked up at the sky, Gao Er hurriedly said, "You man, Deputy Envoy Yu used [-] li to expedite it, why don't you know how to be anxious?"

Wu Chen smiled, turned his head and asked, "Why am I so anxious? What I said to Deputy Envoy Yu today is true, but he just doesn't believe it. What can I do?"

Xu Da said: "Then I should go to Deputy Envoy Yu to explain something, but he also wrote a letter to Si Zun..."

"I'm afraid he won't write! Come on, follow me to see Chen Wuzhao who is ill."

……

Chen Wuzhao wasn't pretending to be ill. Ever since he saw the body of his staff member Wang Lin, Chen Wuzhao had a keen sense that something was wrong. He might have been used as a chess piece. I'm afraid he couldn't explain the relationship between them. The Cao family extermination case is a knife handed out, and for such a big case, there must always be a donkey to unload the mill, a scapegoat sheep, an early bird and a respectful chicken, whichever one you do will be a life-threatening thing !

The more Chen Wuzhao thought about it, the worse his condition became.

At this time, Chen Wuzhao was lying on the bed in the backyard and sighed, and his servants reported: Mr. Wu came to visit the sick.

Chen Wuzhao didn't catch his breath, and was about to faint. Chen Wuzhao's wife pinched her and beat her chest. Only then did Chen Wuzhao recover.

Wu Chen smiled and brought Senior Two and Xu Da into the room, while Chen Wuzhao was supported in the hall.

Wu Chen looked at Chen Wuzhao's face, and said with a smile, "There are indeed people in this world who can scare me to death."

After all, Wu Chen took the first seat, and said to the servants of the Chen family with a smile, "Go and move Zhang Tie over for your master, I'm afraid he won't be able to sit still like this."

Chen Wuzhao hurriedly said weakly: "It must be done, it's not proper."

"My life is almost gone, do I still need to be polite?"

With Wu Chen's words, Chen Wuzhao couldn't stand anymore. If he hadn't been supported by his servants, he would have collapsed to the ground at this moment.

The servants hurriedly lifted out the sheet and put Chen Wuzhao on it, and Chen Wuzhao started talking with Wu Chen in a very enchanting half-recumbent position.

Wu Chen gave Chen Wuzhao a reassurance first: "If I had suspected that you were involved in the Cao family extermination case and the five-color jade case, you would have been under my surveillance."

Chen Wuzhao thought about it, it was true, and suddenly felt that his legs felt sensation, he moved a bit, and was thinking of saying something to show his loyalty, Wu Chen said again:

"But although you didn't participate in advance, what you did after the incident was exactly what the murderer wanted. It's hard to say that you weren't acting in front of me."

Chen Wuzhao felt numb to his legs again, he hurriedly said: "I, I was just confused for a while, thinking, thinking..."

"If you think you can cover it up, then you cover it up, and if you can evade it, then you shirk it away. I'm just curious, is there anyone in this world who is stupid except you? Are you sure that the higher-ups won't pursue the case of the Cao family's extermination?"

"The dossier has not yet been reported to Dali Temple. I have arranged for people to go up and down the capital to deal with it. Whether this case is big or small, I..."

"Why don't you focus on finding the real culprit?"

"Then, then Cao Bingshan must have something to do with this case. On the day the case happened, someone did see him go to Cao Bingde's house..."

"Didn't you realize that the Cao family brothers were not at home?"

"Fat, I found it."

"I read Cao Bingshan's signed statement. He said that he poisoned his brother's family, but you know that the two Cao brothers are not at home. At this time, you know that Cao Bingshan is not the murderer. You never thought that one day the Cao brothers would suddenly die. Come back, what should you do?"

Chen Wuzhao opened his mouth, then closed it again, as if hesitating.

"You know that the two brothers of the Cao family have been killed, so you dare to deal with them like this." Wu Chen stared at Chen Wuzhao and said.

"I, I just saw a note and put it on the desk in my study, it said: The brothers of the Cao family are dead. I just... But, don't allow me to think too much, this is the case of Miemen, If I can't catch the real culprit as soon as possible, the higher-ups will definitely be held accountable..."

"So, the Cao family's grievances are insignificant? Do you know who left the note?"

"I don't know."

"Just believe it?" Wu Chen asked puzzled

"I... I also listened to Wang Lin's slander, and felt..."

"Wang Lin and you, who is the magistrate of Yang'an County? You were even more wrong in the five-color jade case! Just because you are incompetent, you let Li Wu spread rumors, saying that the evil soldiers robbed the way, and hurriedly killed five hundred soldiers. Buried, there is something wrong with not checking carefully, you have no ability to find the real culprit, and you use the method of framing again and again, have you ever thought that Cao Bingshan may not be able to do anything with you, if there are really yin soldiers, will the yin soldiers let you go? !"

Chen Wuzhao was so frightened that he trembled all over.
