Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 179 Who is Zhang San? (two more)

Wu Chen frowned and thought about it. Cao Bingshan was dying, and he would definitely ask who had visited him. How could these government officials and jailers keep their mouths shut because of the few taels of silver?

So that person can't be so stupid, and this kind of thing can't be done to others, who would write those things?Since he had to come in person, he would definitely be seen by the yamen servants and jailers. If he didn't see him... this person might have already left his teacher.

Wu Chen asked the guards who were on duty the day Cao Bingshan fell into a coma. None of the guards could recall what happened that night, not only what happened on duty, but also how to get home the next morning.

Wu Chen was more convinced of his deduction. He hurried back to the house and went straight to his own house. He was annoyed all the way. He wanted to save Cao Bingshan's life, but he almost killed him. Cao Bingshan was moved to the house But more than three days!And if Cao Bingshan hadn't been moved into the house, maybe he could have seen someone come to cast a spell, let Cao Bingshan's soul return to his body, eat and drink to renew his life, and then repeat the same trick.

Wu Chen pushed open the door and strode into the house.

The big head in the room is taking a nap on the bed, while Su Chang on the ground is in a daze.

Looking at Su Chang, who was tightly bound and full of white hair, Wu Chen first sneered, then sighed, and said, "Thousands of calculations, you never thought that the people around you would betray you, right?"

Su Chang slowly turned his gaze to Wu Chen.

Wu Chen sat on the chair, poured himself a cup of tea, the tea was already cold, but he drank it all in one gulp, and looked at Su Chang cheerfully.

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Yu Shi'an walked in: "I was just going to the county government to look for you, and you came back, did you gain anything?"

Wu Chen said with a smile, "It's been quite a harvest!"

"Oh? Come on, let's listen." Yu Shi'an sat down opposite Wu Chen and said anxiously.

"Deputy Envoy Yu probably knows something about the case of the Cao family's extermination?"

"I know a little bit. I saw a person brought back by the second grader before, and said it was Cao Bingshan, who was the murderer the county government thought. I asked the second grader a few words, and the second grader said that this Cao Bingshan had been in a coma before. He should know something. Now you Healed?"

"How can I have that ability! Fushi Yu still remembers those people in the third cave who are alive but seem to be dead?"

Wu Chen was talking, but his eyes were only on Su Chang's expression.

"Of course I remember how cruel this beast is. It actually separated the body and soul of a living person, and then used that monster to suck human blood."

Su Chang trembled all over.

Wu Chen said: "That's how Cao Bingshan was stripped of his soul from his body."

Surprised, Su Chang raised his head to look at Wu Chen.

Yu Shi'an pointed at Su Chang angrily and asked, "It's him?"

Wu Chen shook his head and said, "It's his good apprentice."

"Impossible!" Su Chang shouted.

"What's impossible? How many of your eight apprentices have already learned it? I'm afraid you don't even know the truth?"

"Impossible! Impossible!" Su Chang roared with all his strength.

Yu Shi'an suppressed the surprise in his heart, stroked it in his mind for a while, and then found the key to the problem, saying:

"Unless there are others in your magic world, how can others have anything to do with Laojie Mountain? Either you did it yourself, or it was your beloved disciple, and there will be no one else."

Wu Chen stared at Su Chang's expression. An old man over eighty years old had been hit hard one after another in just a few days. Wu Chen was a little worried that he would not be able to persist until he was executed by Ling Chi. Reasonable.

"Don't worry, let's start from the beginning together, and maybe we can infer a different theory. If my prediction is not bad, no matter whether five hundred soldiers were killed or not, those eight apprentices of yours should be among the first few." It was already in your plan to be taken away by someone, you think you have achieved something, it's time to show off, am I right?"

Su Chang didn't speak, just listened panting heavily.

"I came to Yang'an County to investigate the five-color jade case. The five hundred soldiers were to escort the five-color jade through Yang'an County, but they were not killed at the foot of Laojie Mountain, but were moved here in the middle of the night. The foot of the mountain is yours. However, no one knew about it. In the early morning of the next day, the county government received a report. When your people found out, the people from the county government also arrived, and your eight apprentices also lived in the hut at the foot of the mountain. Why didn't you order someone to investigate? Who ordered the investigation? Naturally, it was your good disciples, so nothing was investigated. "

Wu Chen paused, Su Chang's complexion became paler and paler.

"You also know that this must be done by your own people. Have you ever doubted your apprentices? Have you? But you haven't taught them much these years. In your opinion, they don't know anything, but just a few errands. , how could you do such a thing? But your people searched for so many days, but failed to find the traitor, what should I do? I want to change people but I don’t know who to change, so I can’t change them all, right? You are hesitating When I came, they started again."

"Of course, before I came, you didn't really take this matter very seriously. Before that, people from the Imperial City Division were investigating the case. He was investigating the bandits within a hundred miles. Before you figure it out, you're almost done with it, you can bring the ferocious ghosts you have trained, and the blood corpse bird will retreat, and as for the fake villagers at the bottom of the mountain, they will naturally bury their bones in Old Jie Mountain."

"That day in the illusion, you asked me, knowing that the death of the five hundred soldiers was to frame Laojieshan, why did I still pursue Laojieshan? Who do you think is full of food and uses five hundred soldiers to frame a hermit who is practicing? Definitely There is a reason, plus there are people who have been guiding us all the time, who do you think has this ability? If you are not someone who knows everything about you, how can you lead us to the Taoist temple?"

Su Chang's breathing became more and more rapid.

"It's inconceivable that five hundred soldiers were killed at the same time. I thought about it carefully, and now you can help me think about it carefully. How much poison would be needed to kill so many people at the same time? Poison? Do you understand me? It takes time for poisoning to occur. It is impossible for 500 people to drink or eat something at the same time. As long as some of their companions fall down, what will happen to the rest who have not drunk or eaten? Continue to take it?"

Yu Shi'an's eyes lit up, and he blurted out: "It must have used some method to confuse the five hundred soldiers first, and then killed them with poison."

Su Chang's head rested on the ground again.

Wu Chen said with a smile: "Looking at it this way, your apprentices may already be better than blue. Not only have they learned what you don't want them to learn, but they also have more brains than you! You are torturing people with all your heart. , They take turns saying something to you, you don't think much about it."

"Who is it? Who is it?" Su Chang muttered to himself.
