Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 38 Dispute (Part [-])
"You don't have to look at me like that. You guys think I'm standing in front of you. To be honest, I didn't take you two seriously. That's the same sentence, you guys have no brains! I wanted to dig a hole for me. , I didn’t expect that I jumped in, and it’s normal if I can’t climb up, I’m not repaying grievances with virtue, it’s just that your brother’s life is also life, and besides, it’s not certain whether my words will be good or not.”

Gu You took a deep breath, stood up and said goodbye.

……

Wu Chen made up for a nap, and woke up twice in the middle, obviously he didn't sleep well, Datou even called him during lunch, this time he fell asleep, and when he woke up he was more tired than if he didn't sleep.

The big head was very happy to see Wu Chen get up, he finally didn't have to eat dinner alone, he told Wu Chen that he found the kitchen very interesting, he stayed in the kitchen all afternoon and didn't find it annoying at all.

Wu Chen listened cheerfully, but his mind was thinking that Lao Hei would be recruited tonight no matter what, and if he couldn't solve the Soul Containing Formation as soon as possible, Chen Zhong might try forcefully even if he didn't care about the number of casualties.

The big head was still admiring the chef's knife skills, and even gestured to say that someone opened the door and came in.

The big head stopped talking immediately, and Wu Chen turned to see that it was Gu Shiming.

"Come on, go to my place and have a drink." Gu Shiming stood at the door and pointed to the outside with his fan.

Wu Chen shook his head and said, "I'm not good at drinking alcohol."

Gu Shiming didn't seem to expect that Wu Chen would reject him, and immediately frowned and asked, "Why are you so ignorant?"

"You still looked down on me last night, why do you condescend to invite me today?" Wu Chen asked with a smirk.

Gu Shiming was honest, he sat down on the chair carelessly and said, "You talk nonsense! If it were you, what would you do?"

"That's right!" Wu Chen said with a smile, "Since you're here, you can have dinner with me. It's not interesting whether you drink or not."

"What good food can you have here? Go to my place."

"Would you like to ask me something after I've drunk too much? Don't think about it. I don't drink. If I have something to ask, I will say it. If I can't, I won't say it."

"Fresh! Who are you?" Gu Shiming leaned forward and asked.

"I didn't fake this question. I was really a beggar before."

"I don't believe it!" Gu Shiming opened the fan, slapped it and said, "Even if you have bad luck and become a beggar, you must have been someone before, either from a good family background, or from a young age, you are smart, and everyone around you knows everyone." , but I ordered someone to inquire, let alone Anping County, no one even knows about you in the neighboring counties."

Wu Chen smiled and asked, "No one believes the truth, so you have to make up one that you think is right?"

Gu Shiming stared at Wu Chen's face, and asked again: "Are you really a beggar?"

"Like a fake replacement!"

"It doesn't make sense!"

"I also don't think it makes sense. I thought that this life will be buried like this, and I can only wait for the next life to shine."

"Why did you come out alive after entering the mountain?"

"I don't know." Wu Chen shook his head honestly, and said, "Maybe there are other people who can do it, but you can't find people to try one by one, right? This is not another job. If you can't do it, you can go back. It will be death."

Gu Shiming nodded and said, "It makes sense."

"There is no shortage of strange people and strange things in this world. I don't take it seriously myself. I think too much and delay my sleep."

Gu Shiming nodded, stood up and said, "Since I can't invite you, I'll go back and have a drink by myself."

After finishing speaking, Gu Shiming walked away waving his fan.

Wu Chen turned to look at Datou and asked in a low voice, "Does he have that smell?"

Big head shook his head.

……

After dinner, Chen Zhong called Wu Chen to him again, but there was no one in the room.

Chen Zhong sat cross-legged on the couch and asked, "Have you figured out who it is?"

Wu Chen was taken aback for a moment, but then he understood what Chen Zhong meant, shook his head and said, "I'm new here, except for Gu You, the sophomore in high school and Xu Da, I don't know anyone else."

"Gu Shiming, Zhang Yuan and Peng Su are officers of the Investigation Division, and they have been in the Division for some years." Chen Zhong introduced.

"Gu Shiming looks very young, so he must have some connections in the family?"

"You really have some eyesight." Chen Zhong smiled.

"He obviously has less taboo in speaking. Unlike Zhang Yuan, Peng Su and the others, they are respectful and awed when they see Si Zun, and Gu Shiming... is also in awe, but he is more comfortable than the two of them."

Chen Zhong didn't speak, but tapped his fingers rhythmically.

Wu Chen stood quietly.

After a while, Chen Zhong said: "Tomorrow I will ask the sophomore, Xu Da, to lead someone to follow you to find the entrance. You only need to find the col, and you are not allowed to enter."

Wu Chen was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Si Zun, I used two cups as an assumption that day. During the daytime, the bottom of the col is probably just a hole. Even if the entrance is found, all the people who go there will probably die..."

"If you don't try, how will you know if your deduction is correct? Even with the testimony of ghosts... I still want to try."

Wu Chen's heart tightened, and after thinking for a while, he said in a pleading tone, "Can Sir give me a day and two nights? If I still can't think of a way to break the formation the next morning, let's talk about entering the mountain to find the entrance. Ok?"

Chen Zhong frowned and looked at Wu Chen, and said, "Compassion doesn't command soldiers, do you understand?"

"Understood! But I can't do it. It's not a question of kindness. Did Si Zun ever think that so many people under him...are watching! I mean, running an errand..."

Chen Zhong waved his hand, and said impatiently: "There are so many people who want to join the company, I don't need to think about what they think, I can rely on the power and prestige of the imperial city department on weekdays, and I have to do my best when I am doing business. fair."

"Fairness is not understood in this way! Dedication is not knowing that you are dying and rushing upwards. This is a waste of human life!"

Chen Zhong snorted coldly: "Didn't you also say that you are not afraid of death? How come you are afraid of death after eating a few meals?"

"It's different! Not being afraid of death is not knowing that you are willing to die, Sir, please think about it, now, no one of your subordinates knows that regardless of the day or night, entering the mountain will be very dangerous..."

"I said, I don't need to think about what they think."

"Why don't you need to consider their thoughts?" Wu Chen straightened his waist, his eyes were a little aggressive: "Si Zun can't feel that there are not many trustworthy people around him when he is employing people, and trust also needs to be accumulated over time. It was hard to train Gu Zuo, Gu You, Xu Da, Gao Er, these people, just to test them out, they can give up their lives..."

"So what?!" Chen Zhong sullenly, not angry.

Wu Chen couldn't hold back his breath, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Give me a little time, if I can't do it, I won't stop me, just ask you if you can do it?!"

Chen Zhong clenched his hands into fists. He couldn't count how many times he wanted to kill Wu Chen immediately, but Wu Chen was still useful, so Chen Zhong slowly let go of his fists.

"Okay, then... wait until the morning of the next day."
