Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 5 A Night of Horror (Part [-])

Wu Chen hoped that the sky would get dark soon. He no longer had the heart to weigh whether it was better to stay or go. He was eager to know what these people were looking for.

When Gu You came, Datou was about to go to bed and lie down for a while, he was too full from dinner, so Datou said he didn't want to move.

Wu Chen stood up and said to the big head, "You sleep in your bed, don't wait for me." Then he followed Gu You out the door.

Gu You walked very fast, Wu Chen followed closely, and soon became exhausted, and whispered: "If you are in a hurry, why don't you ride a horse?"

"The horse is outside the city."

"Can you walk slowly?"

"If you can't keep up, go back."

"The city gate is closed at this time, how do we get out of the city?"

"Originally, it was very easy, but it would be troublesome for you to have one more."

It was not easy for Wu Chen to grit his teeth and follow. Hearing what Gu You said, he couldn't say anything to refute. He also knew in his heart that for Gu You, the city wall of Anping County was not too high.

Tonight, dark clouds covered the moon, Gu You led Wu Chen to walk in the dark night, but his steps were not slow at all. Wu Chen felt envious, thinking that one day he would be able to use his kung fu to straighten his waist like this when walking at night, and strode towards forward.

Wu Chen was struggling to follow, when suddenly Gu You stopped, turned around abruptly, and shouted, "Come out!"

Wu Chen was shocked, but he didn't dare to look back. He only heard movement behind him, and was thinking whether to move behind Gu You just in case, when he heard a familiar voice from behind: "I just want to See where you are going?"

"Big head?" Wu Chen turned around in surprise.

"Let him go back!" After Gu You finished speaking, he turned and walked into the darkness again.

Wu Chen hurriedly said to Datou: "Go back quickly, I'm not going to steal something to eat, I have to help them with something, we can only have food tomorrow, go back quickly, I'm fine."

Wu Chen waved his hand, turned and ran.

In the darkness, the big head's eyes were full of worry.

……

Wu Chen felt his body soaring into the air, and then landed lightly, and then he was led on the horse and galloped all the way. When he got off the horse, Wu Chen still felt his body was floating.

Gu You whispered: "I don't know why Si Zun asked me to bring you here, but you have to remember, no matter what you see for a while, you'd better keep your mouth shut, otherwise my sword will make you silent forever !"

Wu Chen stood there, closed his eyes and opened them a few times, then took a deep breath, as if he hadn't heard what Gu You said at all, he had already started to look around.

"Not here, follow me closely!" Gu You whispered.

Wu Chen shrugged, followed Gu You carefully into the darkness.

The darkness made Wu Chen more and more nervous, as if a black curtain covered his eyes and he walked forward, not knowing what he would suddenly encounter next.

While walking, Wu Chen tried his best to see clearly, even if it was only up close, but he could only tell that it was a mountain road, but not the way up the mountain.

There were only insects chirping around, so it was not completely silent, but Wu Chen was still tense all over his body. Suddenly, Gu You squatted down, and Wu Chen squatted down with him without even thinking about it. He looked forward vigilantly, vaguely Yes, he seemed to see a grave-like mound hidden in the darkness not far ahead, nothing else.

Wu Chen didn't dare to catch his breath, so Gu You turned his head to look at him, stretched out his hand and gestured, meaning: You go.

Wu Chen stared at Gu You with wide eyes as if asking: Where am I going?

Gu You pointed to the direction of the mound of dirt, and then pointed to the long sword in his waist. Wu Chen tilted his head, and pointed to Gu You wonderingly: What about you?
Gu You seemed a little annoyed, he pointed to himself, and then to his feet, Wu Chen understood that this was telling him that Gu You was waiting for him here.

Wu Chen looked at the mound of dirt in the darkness, somewhat curious. Although the mound was not far away by visual inspection, but there was no moonlight tonight, and nothing around him could be seen clearly. Why could he vaguely see it?
Wu Chen told himself that he was trying to clear up his doubts, not being forced, then he stood up and walked slowly towards the mound.

Originally, there was only the sound of insects around, but when Wu Chen approached the mound cautiously, he didn't notice that the sound of insects disappeared in an instant.

Wu Chen tried squatting at first, but he was too tired. He thought about crawling, but felt ashamed, so he could only hunched over his hips, and approached the mound with small steps. You have to look around bravely from the corner of your eye. Although you can't see clearly, at least when you approach the mound, Wu Chen is sure that it is not a tomb. The tomb cannot be as tall as a person. He is relieved, bolder, and his waist straightened. Some, the pace is naturally faster.

He walked to the side of the mound, slowly stood up straight, took a deep breath, looked around, took a long breath, turned his head and looked in the direction of Gu You, meaning: how?
Wu Chen couldn't see Gu You, but Gu You could see Wu Chen's white face.

Of course Gu You would not respond to him.

Wu Chen felt a little complacent, and then planned to walk around the mound to have a look. Didn't Chen Zhong say that it doesn't matter if you can see it clearly, look carefully?Then he will take a closer look.

He bowed carefully and moved forward step by step, his eyes were too busy, or he didn't know where to look, suddenly!He stumbled on his foot, barely stopped, and looked down!He gritted his teeth so hard that he didn't let himself yell out, and there was a miserable dead body under his feet!

Wu Chen felt that the hairs all over his body stood on end. At that moment, it could be said that the three souls were faint and the seven souls were boundless.

He stared at the dead body with wide eyes and remained motionless. His tense body was relieved only when the buzzing in his head stopped and his heart returned to its original place. Guessing that the ball of his right eye was about to fall out, Wu Cheng squatted down and looked at the corpse carefully.

Gu You opened his mouth and stared, how could he not know why Chen Zhong asked Wu Chen to come here?The people who came before did not get out of the col alive. He had seen one after another of his men fall beside the mound. No one could come out and tell him what he saw. The position, as long as you pass that position, the torch will be extinguished quickly.

He brought people to come during the day, but he couldn't find the col during the day.

Then there was the assassination of the Ghost Mandrill Gang.

Although a lot of people were lost in this weird mountain depression, Chen Zhong still wanted to try, if he didn't come in to see how he could know where the things in the three people's hands came from, and if there were more?
The real reason why Wu Chen was not silenced last night was this, it was all death, but it should be this kind of death!
……

Wu Chen carefully looked at the corpse under his feet, and found that there was another corpse under the corpse, and there was another corpse beside it. As long as it didn't appear suddenly, Wu Chen could control his emotions well, which also benefited from years of experience in the scene.

Wu Chen reminded himself over and over again that he was working, but his hairs were standing all the time. Fortunately, nervousness would become numb after a long time, otherwise he couldn't explain that he wasn't scared to death by everything in front of him.
