Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 169 Back Mountain Cave (Seventeen) One more

Song Gu didn't react for a while, he was still in the anxiety of Wu Chen going to the capital, if Wu Chen was no longer around this case, would he be able to investigate it?Then he heard Wu Chen say to find out who Zhang San was, and Song Gu blinked before realizing that the whole case was only half investigated, and the real murderer of the five hundred soldiers hadn't been found yet!
Song Gu scratched his head and said, "If you leave, I'm afraid it will be difficult to investigate later, but if you don't go, there may be a big disaster in the capital."

"I think the eight apprentices may only bring one hideous ghost!"

"Why?"

"I've seen Su Chang's distressed look because I sent the ghost away, which means that the ghost is not easy to train, and this is why Su Chang refuses to leave. Look at the caves in front, don't they look like It's like an assembly line, no, assembling, it's not right, even if he has come to today step by step, he must have gone through countless failures to train a few hideous ghosts, and the remaining ghosts, black worms, may soon be able to train. He became a new hideous ghost, so he was reluctant to throw it away, and he thought he could subdue me. He is so confident, how could he let the eight apprentices take more? What's more, those eight apprentices don't have the ability to take more."

"You mean that Su Chang also just trained as a hideous ghost?"

"I have a bold assumption. If Su Chang hadn't been able to train the hideous ghost, Zhang San wouldn't think of a way to remind the officials."

"That means Zhang San is very close to Su Chang, or Prince Cheng?"

Wu Chen nodded.

Song Gu thought for a while and asked:

"You said that Zhang San killed five hundred soldiers and moved them to the foot of Laojie mountain overnight, but the villagers at the foot of the mountain were all princes, so how could no one see it? And you also said that the person who reported the crime was a mountain citizen. , but it’s obviously Zhang San’s person. He entered the city and went to the county government office as soon as the city gate opened. Obviously, he was afraid that the body would be moved later. Isn’t this a bit contradictory? And when you were attacked, all It was at the foot of the mountain, and it was also done by Zhang San's people..."

"Is there a feeling that there is me in you, and you in me?"

"Zhang San belongs to Li Si!" Song Gu stood up abruptly again.

Wu Chen sat down instead, and he breathed a sigh of relief. The analysis of Song Gu's case was much more enjoyable than the analysis of Xu Da's case in the second year of senior high school, and some conclusions came out just like that.

"If this is the case, it can be explained why Zhang San knows Li Si so well, but Li Si or Su Chang is very passive." Song Gu said excitedly.

Wu Chen nodded and said:
"After we go back, we need to find out how Zhang San killed the five hundred soldiers. I think it has something to do with the Cao family's extermination case. The mistress of the Cao family was married to a herbal medicine shop. I suspect that the five hundred soldiers were killed by poison. After the matter in the cave is settled, I will trouble Song Ti to examine the bones of five hundred soldiers and check the raw medicine shop to see if my deduction is correct."

"You can't leave! If Zhang San is Li Si's person, that is, Su Chang's person, he, he might do something, you are gone, just in case, in case..."

Wu Chen scratched his forehead, sighed and said: "If they really left around the time of closing the mountain, I will hurry up and chase after them to the capital day and night, maybe I can send away the hideous ghosts before they enter the capital, and then I will come back." Yes, if they had left earlier, even the people and ghosts are already in the capital...it will take some time to find them, and I'm afraid we won't be able to return so quickly, but if we don't go, the consequences will be disastrous."

Song Gu thought about the scene of the hideous ghost entering the capital, nodded involuntarily, and suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked: "The last time you saw the hideous ghost in the escort team, could the person behind the scene be Su Chang?"

Wu Chen shook his head and said, "It's not Su Chang, it's the Ghost Gang, have you heard of it?"

Song Gu frowned and thought for a while and said, "I seem to have heard of it."

"The Ghost Mandrill Gang hide in the mountains and forests all the year round, mainly robbing tombs. For more than 100 years, it is possible to know this method from whose tomb. For the time being, I don't think they have anything to do with Su Chang. Of course, This will only be confirmed after careful investigation.”

"What's the difference between them? I'm talking about the hideous ghost trained by Ghost Mandrill and the hideous ghost trained by Su Chang."

"There are no black worms in the belly of the ghosts of the Ghost Mandrill Gang, and the members of the Ghost Mandrill Gang can't see the ghosts, um... They belong to the Ghost Gang voluntarily attached to the Ghost Gang, and there are two kinds of ghosts in Su Chang. Su Chang Often... I feel that he can see ghosts."

"That doesn't sound like a thing."

"But they can eat people."

Song Gu trembled all over, hesitated and asked: "I don't know if I should ask..."

"I'm human, don't worry."

Song Gu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and said, "Of course I know you are human, I mean, why can you see and have a way to deal with them?"

Wu Chen shrugged and said, "There are good and bad in this world. If someone like Su Chang is born, someone like me will be born. It's a kind of check and balance. I think so. If you ask me why, I will also give birth to someone like me." I can’t tell the reason, but I can see it anyway.”

"You too...will be afraid?"

"I'm not afraid of your jokes, I'm scared to death, but I can't help it, so many lives are waiting for me to save, who will I not kill?"

Song Gu immediately cupped his hands and bowed deeply, and couldn't help but feel Taotao's respect in his heart.

……

The two sat in the cave and chatted for a long time, and finally they were too hungry and thirsty to talk anymore, so they leaned on the back of the chair and the bed and closed their eyes to rest.

In a daze, Wu Chen heard some movement in the distance, he immediately opened his eyes and said, "I'm back."

Song Gu sat up, rubbed his face and said, "Will you bring us some food and water?"

Wu Chen lowered his head and listened carefully. After a while, he said, "Many people have come, so the mountain must be safe."

Song Gu let out a long sigh of relief.

Not long after, there was a sound from the entrance of the cave, and several ropes and hanging ladders were lowered. The second grader returned to the cave first, followed by five soldiers.

Gao Er said: "These five people were selected by Deputy Envoy Yu himself, and they will guard the things taken from this cave without leaving for a moment."

Wu Chen nodded, stood aside and watched the five soldiers use the boxes they brought, and put the things they could take away from the cave into the boxes neatly.

Song Gu came over and asked the sophomore, "Did you bring us something to eat and drink?"

The sophomore in high school let out a cry of 'Oh,' and hurriedly took out a kraft paper bag and a small water bag from his arms, and said, "You just have to drink and eat first, we didn't enter the county town, and we called out the officers and soldiers guarding the city outside the city gate. Some, I asked them for these pancakes and water..."

"Has the foot of the mountain been cleaned up by the soldiers?" Wu Chen asked.

The second year of high school said 'Oh' again: "I haven't had time to say it, but you said it first again!"

Wu Chen smiled, shared pancakes with Song Gu, asked Song Gu to drink water first, and said that it was enough to leave some for him to moisten his throat. Song Gu knew his kindness, but he still left half of the water for Wu Chen.
