Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 127 Deception? (one more)
A group of people returned to the county office.

Wu Chen only brought Wu Zuo into the mortuary, Wu Chen asked Wu Zuo to fetch pens and ink, he said, Wu Zuo to write.

Wu Chen's idea was very simple. He packed the bones and relics of several people and wrote down the time of death and the relics left behind so that the family members could claim them in the future.

Wu Zuo didn't think much at the beginning, but he started to tremble while writing. Today, when he went up the mountain to fetch the bones, Wu Zuo was too busy to think too much, and it's not his turn to think too much, but now this Mr. Wu can say that the bones died Time, he had to think more.

Seeing Wu Zuo's writing getting slower and slower, Wu Chen realized that it was really inappropriate to write like this. He raised his head and asked a few souls floating in the air: "What should I do? It doesn't make sense to write the time of your death. How could I know your death?" Time? If you don’t write it down, you’re afraid that your family won’t be able to claim it, and few of your relics can be identified.”

As soon as Wu Chen finished speaking, he turned his head and saw Wu Zuo staring at him with wide eyes. Wu Chen hurriedly said, "Don't be afraid, I just like talking to myself. Just pretend you didn't hear it. This case is strange. There are some things that our empress The City Investigation Department did know in advance, and I was afraid that others would think about it, so I thought about being more cautious and safe."

Wu Zuo nodded again and again, and said, "I can understand Wu's business without talking about it. Why do you need to explain to others when you work in the Imperial City Investigation Department..."

"That's right! Just write as I said, why do I have to explain to others? It doesn't make sense, and I have to order people to find their family members to identify the corpses. How can I know whose family they are? How? Explain? Then don't explain, if someone asks you, just push me."

"Didn't you say before that if someone asked, you would push it on Wuzuo?" a ghost asked.

Wu Chen waved his hand and said, "The Imperial City Secretary is more useful. You have really caused me a lot of trouble. The Cao family's extermination case and the five-color jade case have not yet been settled. You are treating Xue wrongly, and there are troubles behind the Taoist temple. Oops, I'm going crazy just thinking about it."

Wu Zuo opened his mouth and held up his pen...

……

Back in the house, the sophomore complained: "You should listen to me. You need to strike while the iron is hot. Tonight, you should interrogate the old Taoist first, and first ask the corpse behind the Taoist temple to find out the real culprit."

"Eat first, he won't admit this kind of thing easily." Wu Chen entered the room, cleaned his hands and sat on the chair, and said, "You have to look at the corpse first, they can't escape, I hope someone wants to kill someone now Shut up, but point me in a direction."

Senior Two and Xu Da washed their hands together. Senior Second saw that Datou was sleepy and nodded, and said with a smile, "Brother Datou is deliberately waiting for Brother Wu, right? Go to sleep, seeing you like this, I'm a little sleepy too."

At this time, Luo Zuo entered the room and arranged the food.

Xu Da sat down at the table and said: "Brother Datou is not an ordinary lucky man. He doesn't have to worry about food and drink, and he can eat and sleep. I'm really envious."

When the big head saw the food, his sleepiness disappeared, he picked up his chopsticks and said: "There is also a disadvantage, the newly made robes have not been worn yet, so I can't wear them."

Wu Chen picked up his chopsticks and ate while saying, "They told you to move more, but you just refused. If this goes on, you don't even need to make new robes, and you won't be able to wear them anymore."

"Then make it bigger." Big Head said.

"Too fat is bad for your health." Wu Chen persuaded.

"Anywhere you can eat is good."

"It's not that I'm scaring you. If you don't move now, one day you won't be able to eat the food you want, and you will need to drink medicine every day..." Wu Chen suddenly paused when he said this, and he held up his chopsticks and frowned for a moment. Suddenly shouted: "Cao Kang!"

Cao Kangpo's hair fluttered out: "Remember me?"

"Your family runs a herbal medicine shop, right?"

"Yes, my mother's dowry."

"Do you know that before your family members were killed, someone bought a large amount of medicinal materials in a raw medicine shop, and those medicinal materials are poisonous when taken alone?"

"How would I know? My elder brother has always been in charge of the crude medicine shop."

"Then have you ever heard your brother mention it?"

"They never talk about business in front of me."

"Is it because they didn't say it or you didn't listen?!" Wu Chen was a little annoyed, "I really don't understand why you stayed and your brother left?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"You don't know anything about your family's business, but how much of the medicinal materials in the herbal medicine shop can you recognize?"

"Uh……"

"I really think of myself as the rich second generation!"

Wu Chen kept pacing in the room, seeing Gao Erxu holding up his chopsticks, looking at each other, only his big head was still eating sullenly.

"It's no wonder that your brother wants to take you with him when he goes shopping. You don't know how to learn, and your family has to force you to learn. Let me ask you, did you decide to go shopping with your brother suddenly? Who decided?"

"My father, it was quite sudden. I don't need to follow me on weekdays. I also wonder why I have to follow this time. I don't want to learn because this shop will be inherited by my brother in the future. If I have nothing to do, I will make trouble." My sister-in-law doesn't like it, I plan to study hard after marriage, first pass the Juren examination, and if it doesn't work, I can also enter the county government to be a civil servant, my father has arranged all these."

Wu Chen stood still, frowning and thinking.

The sophomore asked quickly, "You don't suspect that the five hundred soldiers were poisoned by the poison bought from the Cao family?"

"Why did they choose Laojie Mountain?" Wu Chen asked Senior Two and Xu Da.

"Because...the county magistrate here is incompetent?" asked the sophomore.

Wu Chen felt a little depressed, he walked to the door, pushed open the door, the autumn wind was blowing, he took a deep breath and said:
"It's thousands of miles from Xijiang to Kyoto, and there are many places to do it. Why do you do it near Laojie Mountain? The point is not the county magistrate. I think there are many county magistrates who are better than Chen Wuzhao along the way, and worse than him. Not less, then the point is not the county magistrate, but Laojie Mountain!"

Senior Two and Xu Da nodded frequently.

The big head couldn't eat anymore, he twisted his fat buttocks and climbed onto the bed, soon there was a snoring sound.

"Why are you in Laojie Mountain?" Wu Chen asked again, but he didn't know if he was asking someone else or himself.

Cao Kang floated to Wu Chen's side and said, "Do you still remember that there was a ghost who asked me to send a message to you, saying that you can't afford Laojie Mountain and leave as soon as possible?"

Wu Chen's mind buzzed for a moment, and he stared at Cao Kang who was floating beside him, and said, "I can't afford to offend Laojie Mountain, not all the ghosts in the county government know about it, so there is only one ghost left behind." Excuse me, but those who helped them pick up the bones today died in Laojie Mountain, why did they never mention the power of Laojie Mountain?"

Cao Kang hurriedly said: "The one who entered the beam should not lie to you, he has no grievances or enmities with you..."

"Prepare the horse! I'm going to the county government office!"
