Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 140 Wake Up (Part [-])
After finishing speaking, Wu Chen wrote down the word 'Taoist Temple' on the paper, saying: "This Taoist temple is very strange, and the person who ambushed and attacked me once stayed here for one night, that is, the night before he wanted to kill me. They also said that they would ambush and kill me, there is an important point here, how did they know that I was going to Laojie Mountain the next day?"

"There are not only Li Si's people in the county government office, but also their people, that is, Zhang San's people." Song Gu said.

"Yes, then the people who were placed in the county government on both sides were bought temporarily by them, or were they arranged earlier? Who owns this Taoist temple?"

Song Gu hurriedly asked: "Do you think the Taoist temple is also involved?"

"What Li Si did must not be known to outsiders. How could he let the people in the Taoist temple be there all the time? Laojie Mountain is suitable for cultivation. Who is this saying and when did it spread? I can infer now , Most of the people who went up the mountain to practice have turned into ghosts that the people in the courtyard can use, so how can they let the Taoist temple survive to this day?"

Song Gu lowered his head and thought for a while and asked, "There are many tourists going up to Laojie Mountain on weekdays, and there are also villagers at the foot of the mountain. Is it possible that Li Si just wants the world to think that this is a normal mountain?"

"It's possible, but we also found three corpses behind the Taoist temple, and the people in the Taoist temple said that they used to pretend to be gods and ghosts to scare the tourists into unconsciousness in order to steal their property, but the county government never received them. This kind of report has been made." Wu Chen said.

"If Taoism is related to this case, it must be Li Si's." Said the sophomore.

Wu Chen said: "The people who wanted to kill me were sent by Zhang San. They didn't have to stay in the Taoist temple for one night... After killing me, there must be blood on the knife. They didn't go up the mountain to escape, but It is to lead the investigators to find the Taoist Temple..."

Song Gu immediately understood:
"Zhang San wants to expose what Li Si did on Laojie Mountain. Li Si also knows what Zhang San has done. That's why they are so targeted, and they are competing to lead you to investigate."

Wu Chen slapped his thigh and said, "That's what it means! Otherwise, how could it be a murder case! However, now it seems that Zhang San dared to frame him because he knew more about Li Si, and Li Si was a little passive."

"Then what about the case of killing the Cao family? Who ordered it?" Xu Da asked.

Wu Chen looked at Song Gu and said, "This case of the Cao family's extermination happened five days before the five-color jade case, which is also very strange. I mean, let's investigate the Cao family's extermination case first, maybe we can find some clues."

Song Gu nodded frequently, and just about to say some reasons for agreeing, he heard the soldier shouting at the door: "The man in the courtyard has moved."

……

Su Chang would never have imagined that when he opened his eyes, what he saw was not soil, nor white cloth, nor forests, but countless pairs of eyes.

He felt a little cold, and he stretched out his hand to touch it and startled himself. His mind, which was still a little confused, suddenly became clear. He looked down and almost passed out. This, this is really a shame!
"If you want to say it's your fault, you just met me. I guess many people have never heard of the matter of suspended animation, but I know it."

A face that Su Chang didn't want to see the most protruded from the top of his head, looking down at him with mocking eyes.

"What are you covering? You have been lying here so honestly for a long time. There are many people coming in and out. You have seen everything you should see." Wu Chen said with a smile.

Su Chang curled up and hated that he shouldn't have woken up. If Wu Chen hadn't hurt his vitality, he could have held his breath for three days, but now he can only hold his breath for less than three hours, but he thinks it's enough to escape. Thinking of being discovered by Wu Chen and showing others in this way, Su Chang really wanted to die at this moment.

"Take a list and cover it for him." Wu Chen said lightly, and Su Chang breathed a sigh of relief, but he was thinking that one day Wu Chen would fall into his hands, and he would definitely turn him into a ghost... …

"I will cover you now, and ask you questions, and you must answer honestly. If the answer is not satisfactory to me, I will take away the list and let you continue to lie like this. It is almost dawn, and people who come in and out will There are more, both men and women, but we must distinguish between rewards and punishments. If you answer me satisfactorily, I will give you the robes one by one, and if you answer a question that satisfies me, I will give you one back. How are you?"

Su Chang advised himself that such a big enmity must be avenged in the future!
Wu Chen put the list on Su Chang's body with his own hands, and asked, "What's your name?"

Su Chang grabbed the sheet and sat up, looking straight at Wu Chen.

Wu Chen smiled charmingly and said, "I know you're dishonest. Do you know why you were frozen? You want to confuse people when you wake up. You forgot that your trick is useless on me? Take the list from him."

"Don't, don't! My name is Chang Li."

"How many people have you killed?" Wu Chen ignored whether the answer was his real name, and continued to ask.

"I do not know what you're talking about?"

"Remove the list!"

"Don't, don't, I really haven't killed anyone..."

"Then let me ask another question, did someone die because of you? How many?"

"There are some."

"That's not a good answer. Of course I know that you have killed someone. You have to have a general idea, right? Could it be that there are so many that you can't even remember?"

"A dozen or so people."

"Take the list!"

"It's really only a dozen people." Su Chang never thought that one day, he would plead like this.

"A dozen people? Just the few evil spirits I destroyed plus the ghosts you used to deceive me, there are already more than a dozen!" Wu Chen growled, and he stepped forward to grab a corner of the list and wanted to pull it. Chang, who had seen Wu Chen's abilities, hurriedly shouted, "Hundreds of people! Hundreds of people died because of me."

After Su Chang finished speaking, his heart was so painful that he didn't know how many people's lives and how many years it took him to refine those few people he wanted, but Wu Chen ruined them all at once.

"Take him into the house. It's still a bit cold here. Don't look into his eyes. If he looks at you, you can just take out your swords and goug his eyes out!" Wu Chen didn't continue to ask, but turned to Gao Er and Ambassador Xu. winked.

Senior Two and Xu Da acted quickly, picked up Su Chang and went to the main room in the courtyard.

Su Chang didn't dare to look around.

The two threw Su Chang on the ground in the hall, Su Chang clutched the list tightly.

Wu Chen walked in slowly with his hands behind his back, and Song Gu followed him. He really wanted to ask Wu Chen why he didn't hurry up and ask who was behind the scenes, and who killed five hundred soldiers?
Wu Chen signaled Song Gu to sit at the table, and sincerely apologized: "It really disturbed Song Tixing's rest."

Song Gu waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I can't sleep until I finish asking."

Wu Chen sat down, looked at Su Chang on the ground, and said coldly, "I'll keep asking, if you don't answer well, we'll go back to the courtyard."

Sitting on the ground, Su Chang felt a torment in his heart. The room was not warm, but it was much stronger than the mid-autumn wind in the courtyard. Su Chang held the sheet tightly, thinking about how to deal with it.
