Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 358
Wu Chen squatted on the ground without the help of the fourth child, washed his face and neck, and said: "We only know it today, but those people have known it for a few years, I don't know anything else, I just know it is not Come out, those people can't get the treasure."

"Then will it come up today?" The second grader's eyes widened like copper bells.

"How about I take you down, and you ask it yourself?"

"I……"

Seeing that the water in the basin was already black, the fourth child quickly picked it up and said:

"Wait a minute, master. I'll change the basin of water. It would be much more convenient if it were at home. There is only one stove in this yard, and it's not easy to use. Boiling water is troublesome, let alone things like bathtubs. , and not at all.”

Wu Chen said, "Hard work!"

The fourth child went out with a basin, and Wu Chen said again:
"Don't worry, I'm listening. If it wants to come out, it won't be done in a flash. It needs to swim for a while. I led the way just now. Its head and neck came out, but its tail is still in the ditch, so it's a good idea to go back." Don't worry about it not being able to find its way, now you just need to pray that it is a road idiot and can't find its way out... Uh, it doesn't seem right, it can force its way if it can't find it, it's just that it can't move under Liu's house, if it could move it would be a long time ago It moved, but no matter what, it had to move if it wanted to..."

"Wait a minute!" The second year of high school seemed to remember something: "Can you hear it now? What about before? Why didn't you hear that there is... such a thing below?"

Wu Chen said in amazement: "I'll go! Now I can't lie to the second brother, the second brother has really improved!"

The sophomore in high school raised his neck proudly, and then thought that now is not the time to be proud, he asked anxiously: "Can you know it will come out in advance?"

Wu Chen thought for a while and said, "To be precise, I can only hear it when it reaches the tunnel entrance..."

"What's the use of that?!"

"Listen to me first! That thing is very long. It should be put here to guard the treasure, so how could it leave so easily? Those people have used all these methods to lure it out..."

"You mean those people have made so many preparations, and it's not the big and small ones that they want to draw out, but this hot one?"

"Yes! This should be the reason why they built the tunnel, but even if they opened the tunnel, they couldn't go in and draw out the fire alive like me, and they had to take out some of the big and small ones before they could do it. The action of the fire, in other words, that thing will not leave its own fire ditch easily, of course this is my inference, but it is established from the current point of view."

Song Gu bowed his head in thought, and the second year of high school was relieved.

At this time, there was movement outside the door, Wu Chen frowned and looked towards the door.

After a while, the door was pushed open by the third child. He was carrying a bundle in his hand, and there were six people behind him.

Wu Chen looked at them in surprise and asked, "Will the whole family be dispatched? Who will take care of Big Brother at home?"

"I'm here, so there's no need to keep anyone at home. Xu Da said he can take care of Gu Zuo and Gu You." Da Tou squeezed in from behind several people.

"What are you doing here? It's too dangerous here, you go back first!" Wu Chen was a little anxious.

"You, why did you look like this?" The big head looked at Wu Chen's burnt clothes, and was suddenly panicked.

The third child hurriedly took out a change of clothes, while the fourth child stood outside the door holding a basin of water and shouted, "Why are you all here? Get out of the way, the water will be cold in a while!"

……

The eight people all wanted to go forward to wait for Wu Chen to wash and change their clothes. Wu Chen kicked all eight of them out with a stare. He wiped his back and changed into clean robes before calling the eight of them in again.

Wu Chen looked at the third child wonderingly and asked, "Why did you call them all here?"

The youngest pouted and said, "The lord is in trouble, the eight of us should be by the lord's side."

"I know you're not afraid of death. I called them here because I think it's extremely dangerous, but this danger cannot be solved with a large number of people, do you understand?"

The third child nodded and said, "Understood! I told them, and they said that if they die, they must die with the lord."

Wu Chen blinked, and asked speechlessly, "We've only known each other for a few days, how can life and death accompany us?"

Song Gu hurriedly said: "If you have something to do, each of them... really can't live alone."

Wu Chen raised his eyebrows and asked, "The rules set by the officials?"

"Since ancient times, loyal servants have protected the Lord." Song Gu replied.

"Yes, but they can only be regarded as secondments, and they are not really my servants!" Wu Chen was a little anxious.

The sophomore smiled and said:
"If they weren't sent by the government, they might still be lazy. Since they were sent by the government, they can't let you make mistakes, let alone they are still alive after you die. Why don't they die anyway? Why don't you just try your best?" Give it a try."

Wu Chen rubbed his face, looked at the third and fourth child and said:
"They haven't seen what happened just now, and they will look just like you when they see it. I won't say what use you can do. My big brother can't stay here too, can he?"

The third and fourth turned to look at the boss, and the boss looked at the big head, and the big head asked Wu Chen cautiously: "I'll just sit in the room and stay motionless, okay?"

Wu Chen pulled the big head aside, and asked in a low voice, "Are you feeling flustered again?"

The big head thought for a while and said:

"I woke up with a start when I was taking a nap. When I woke up, I didn't remember what dream I had. It happened that the third child came back, and I realized that you were in danger. Although I am not panicked now, I am at ease sitting here. Xu Da and Gu You They will come too, but I didn't let you, if you said that if we all go back, if I get flustered, these people will definitely follow, even Xu Da and Gu You will come..."

"It sounds like you don't want to trouble me, but it's really dangerous here..."

"I know, there are fire dragons underground! If you are fine, I can still live well. If you are burned to death by the fire dragon, even if I am not here, I will be dead in the future. Who will care about me, an idler? But brother If you can eat enough, and you didn’t suffer from the cold for the first year, even if you die, you won’t lose! So, it doesn’t matter where your brother is, what matters is that you are fine.”

Wu Chen was speechless for a while.

The sophomore came over to persuade:
"I think what the big head said is right. It doesn't matter whether he sits at home or in this room. The big head is not a person who will cause trouble. He said that he will not break his promise if he sits here. Asleep, the problem is you have to live!"

Wu Chen turned to look at the sophomore and said, "The ears are working now? You're thinking that all eight of them will stay, how embarrassing are you?"

The second year in high school scratched her head embarrassingly, and said, "I just want you to be okay, but I also know that I will be scared when I see that thing. If they are all there, I won't delay things if I'm scared."

Song Gu let out a long sigh.
