Chapter 127 Is it a scam? (First update)
The group returned to the county government office.
Wu Chen only took Wu Zuo into the mortuary. Wu Chen asked Wu Zuo to get pen and ink. He said, Wu Zuo writes.
Wu Chen thought very simply. He packed the bodies and relics of several people and wrote down the time of death. The relics were left behind so that their families could claim them in the future.
Wu Zuo didn’t think much about it at first, and started to tremble as he wrote. Today when he went up the mountain to collect the bones, Wu Zuo was too busy to think too much, and it was not his turn to think too much. But now this Wu If official business could tell the time of death of the bones, he would have to think more.
Seeing that Wu Zuo was writing slower and slower, Wu Chen realized that it was really inappropriate to write like this. He raised his head and asked a few souls floating in the air: "What should we do? It doesn't make sense to write the time of your death. How could I know your death?" Time? If I don’t write it down, I’m afraid your family won’t be able to claim it. Your belongings can be identified. "Not many."
After Wu Chen finished speaking, he turned around and saw Wu Zuo looking at him with wide eyes. Wu Chen said hurriedly: "Don't be afraid, I just like to talk to myself, just pretend that I don't." I heard that this case is strange. There are some things that our Imperial City Detective Department did know in advance. I am just afraid that others will think wildly. I I just wanted to be more cautious and safe."
Wu Zuo nodded repeatedly and said, "I can understand Mr. Wu even if he doesn't tell me. Why do you, the Imperial City Detective Department, need to explain to others..."
“That’s right! Just write as I say. Why should I explain it to others? I can’t explain it. Tong, I still have to order people to find their family members to identify the bodies. How can I know who they belong to? Then there is no explanation. If anyone asks, just blame it on me." br>
“Didn’t you say before that when someone asked, you would blame Zuo Zuo?” asked a ghost.
Wu Chen waved his hand and said: "The Imperial City Department is more useful. You have really caused me a lot of trouble. The Cao family murder case and the five-color jade case have not been revealed yet. You are treating me unfairly, and there is trouble behind the Taoist temple." , Oops, I’m going crazy just thinking about it.”
Wu Zuo opened his mouth and held up his pen...
...
Back in the house, the sophomore complained. : "You just You should listen to me. You have to strike while the iron is hot. Tonight, you should interrogate the old Taoist first and find out the real culprit from the corpse behind the Taoist temple."
"Eat first, he will not do this easily. Accept it." Wu Chen entered the room, wiped his hands and sat on the chair and said, "You have to see the body first. They can't escape. I hope someone who wants to kill someone can point me in a direction."
The second grader and Xu Da washed their hands together. The second grader saw that Datou was so sleepy that he nodded and said with a smile: "Brother Datou is waiting for Brother Wu on purpose, right? Go to bed. Seeing you like this, I'm a little sleepy too."< br>
At this time, Luo Zu came into the house and laid out the food.
Xu Da sat at the table and said, "Brother Datou is not an ordinary good fortune. He doesn't have to worry about food and drink, and he can still eat and sleep. I'm really envious."
Datou felt sleepy when he saw the food. No more, picked up the chopsticks and said: "There are also bad things. Before I haven’t put on my new robe yet, so I can’t put it on anymore.”
Wu Chen picked up the chopsticks and said while eating, “I told you to move more, but you refuse. There is no need to make the robe, then you can’t wear it.”
"Then make it bigger." Big Head said.
“Being too fat is bad for your health.” Wu Chen advised.
“It’s good to eat anywhere.”
“I’m not trying to scare you. If you don’t move now, one day you won’t be able to eat the food you want, and you’ll have to take medicine every day... "Wu Chen suddenly paused when he said this. He raised his chopsticks and frowned, thinking, and suddenly shouted: "Cao Kang!"
Cao Kangpo's hair floated out: "Remember me? ”
"Your family owns a herbal medicine shop, right?"
"Yes, my mother's dowry."
"Did you know that before your family was killed, someone bought something from a herbal medicine shop? A lot of medicinal materials, and that Are medicinal materials toxic when used alone? "
"How would I know? My brother has always been in charge of the herbal medicine shop."
"Have you ever heard of your brother mentioning it?"
"They never talk about business matters in front of me."
"Is it because they don't talk or because you can't listen?!" Wu Chen was a little annoyed: "I really don't understand, why would you stay?" Now, your brother is gone?”
“What do you mean by that?”
“You don’t know anything about your business, so how many of the medicinal materials in the herbal medicine shop can you recognize?”
“ Uh..."
"I really think of myself as the rich second generation!"
Wu Chen kept pacing in the room and saw the second-year senior Xu holding up his chopsticks and looking at each other in confusion, but his big head was still eating.
"No wonder your brother had to take you with him when he went to buy goods. You are uneducated and have no skills, so your family had to force you to learn. Let me ask you, did you suddenly decide to go to buy goods with your brother? Who did it? "Decided?"
"My dad, it's quite sudden. I don't need to follow you on weekdays. I'm also wondering this time." Why do you want me to follow? The reason I don’t study is because this shop will be inherited by my brother in the future. I have nothing to do but make my sister-in-law unhappy by joining in. I plan to study hard after marriage and take the Juren exam first. It’s okay if it doesn’t work. My father has arranged for me to work as a civil servant in the county government.”
Wu Chen stopped and frowned in thought.
The sophomore in high school asked hurriedly: "You don't suspect that the five hundred soldiers were poisoned by poison bought from the Cao family, right?"
"Why did they choose Laojie Mountain?" Wu Chen looked at the sophomore in high school and Xu Da and asked.
"Because...the county magistrate here is incompetent?" asked the second year of high school.
Wu Chen felt a little depressed. He walked to the door of the room and opened it. The autumn wind blew in his face. He took a deep breath and said:
"It's thousands of miles from Xijiang to Kyoto. There are many places to take action, so why do we take action near Laojie Mountain? The focus is not on the county magistrate. I think there are many county magistrates who are better than Chen Wuzhao along the way, and there are also many who are worse than him, so the focus is not on the county magistrate. Order, but Laojie Mountain!”
The sophomores and Xu Da nodded frequently as they listened.
Big Tou couldn't eat anymore, so he wriggled his fat butt and climbed onto the bed, and soon he heard the sound of snoring.
"Why in Laojie Mountain?" Wu Chen asked again, not sure whether he was asking others or himself.
Cao Kang floated to Wu Chen's side and said: "Do you still remember that a ghost asked me to send a message to you, saying that you can't afford to offend Laojieshan and leave as soon as possible?"
Wu Chen's mind After a buzz, he stared at Cao floating beside him with wide eyes. Kang said: "I can't afford to offend Laojie Mountain. Not all the ghosts in the county government know about it, so only one ghost left a message. However, the few who helped them pick up the bones today died in Laojie Mountain. Why is the power of Laojie Mountain never mentioned? ”
Cao Kang hurriedly said: "The person who entered the beam should not lie to you. He has no enmity or enmity with you..."
"Prepare your horse! I'm going to the county government office!" (End of Chapter)
