Chapter 174: Re-examination of the People in the Taoist Temple (Third Update)
Wu Chen raised his eyebrows and said with a smile:
“Yes, I have made his eight disciples into a prince before they have gone far. Someone came to pick him up. After he said this inference, he was stunned for a moment, and I knew that I had made the inference. That's right, and then I asked him that Prince Cheng had already crossed the river and it was difficult to save himself. What could they do if they went to Kyoto? Su Chang snorted coldly and did not answer. "
Yu Shi'an and Song Gu. Stunned, the two of them seemed to have thought of something, but they couldn't believe it.
Wu Chen said:
"I thought about it. When he was tormenting Su Chang that night, Song Tixing was also there. After several times, he told Prince Cheng very happily. I knew at the time that he was not lying, but I was also a little puzzled as to why he did it so easily. Just say it? When he snorted, I suddenly understood..."
"Prince Cheng of Kyoto is not Prince Cheng!" Song Gu said with a solemn expression.
Wu Chen nodded and said with a smile: "I told Su Changting this inference, and he immediately panicked."
Yu Shi'an fell down on the chair and said: "My mind is a little messed up."
Song Gu murmured to himself: "No wonder he never walks around with the emperor's relatives or contacts with officials in the DPRK and China."
"The Prince Cheng in Kyoto is fake, so where is he really?" Wu Chen asked.
“Aren’t you worried about the ferocious ghost eating people along the way?” Song Gu asked.
Wu Chen said seriously:
“If there is no movement here, I think they will secretly capture live people to feed the ghosts, but that shouldn’t be the case now. Once someone reports to the official, they will It's easy to reveal your whereabouts. It should be okay if the ferocious ghost eats a few meals, but the bloody corpse bird is afraid? They have to drink blood every day, and they must bring living people with them. But if it goes on for a long time, I don’t know if the ferocious ghost will even eat the people who imprison him.”
“There is also a pick-up. Their people are just like us wearing that little cloth bag, and the evil spirits will avoid such people," Yu Shi'an said.
Wu Chen nodded and said: "Anyway, I'm not in a hurry to leave now. Since they may not be going to Kyoto, I'll wait until I find out where their lair is. I'll leave soon. I'll take advantage of this time and let's find Zhang San together." Come out!”
At this time, the soldier came in with a bowl of noodles. Wu Chen couldn’t wait to take it, and he ate it cleanly in just a few bites, not even a drop of the soup was left.
Yu Shian looked at the turmoil in his heart. He felt extremely regretful for his previous wrong understanding. In the note to Li Heng, Yu Shian first made a self-examination. He said:...Wu Chen is extremely courageous. , Loyal, courageous, resourceful, and thoughtful. I was confused by trivial matters before and could not recognize people clearly. , I regretted it, and now I am advancing and retreating together with Wu Chen. Wu Chen turned the tide several times and saved the lives of his subordinates and others...
...
"Before looking for Zhang San, let's find out what else is there. What things have not been done yet?" Wu Chen wiped his mouth with the handkerchief handed over by the soldier and continued:
"Tomorrow's autopsy is essential. In addition to those of the five hundred soldiers, there are also those of everyone in the Cao family. Cao Bingshan, the murderer designated by the county magistrate in the Cao family's extermination case, is currently being raised in the house. I went out to take a look and found out Not awake, according to what the previous county magistrate said , Cao Bingshan coveted his brother's family's money, so he killed his brother's family. If I came one step later, he might be dead. Of course, there is no difference between him and his death now. "
"We need to check for crude drugs. Shop." Song Gu reminded.
"Yes, but I think the herbal medicine shop should have been cleaned up during this period, and no clues will be left..."
"Why did you first arrive? Didn't you check the herbal medicine store immediately?" Yu Shi'an asked.
Wu Chen said: "When I arrived, more than 20 days had passed since the murder."
Yu Shian nodded. Such a long time had passed and there were so many important things to investigate, so naturally he had no time to take care of it.
After Wu Chen finished speaking, he stood up and said:
"Tonight, I want to interrogate the people in the Taoist temple first. Although they are the people who became the prince... Zhang San should also be the prince. people, or people from Su Chang, this is still It’s really hard to deal with.”
Song Gu and Yu Shian also stood up. Song Gu hurriedly said: “Why bother fighting for this night? I didn’t sleep last night...”
Wu Chen waved his hand and said:
"I'm young and fine. I've asked all the questions I should ask. This way, I won't be worried when I receive orders from the Master at any time. It's the same thing before I go to bed after asking. After asking the people in the Taoist temple, I'll ask the people under the mountain again. Those fake villagers, you two have a rest, you will be busy tomorrow."
Wu Chen said and walked out of the meeting hall.
Song Gu and Yu Shian glanced at each other and chased after them at the same time.
Wu Chen saw the two chasing after him and said hurriedly: "At your age, don't compare with me."
Yu Shi'an snorted and said: "When we lead the troops on an expedition, , I often stay awake for several days, but these two days are nothing.”
Song Gu also said: "I often stay up late when checking cases and files. How can you ask until dawn? You can just squint for an hour or two."
"You haven't rested since you came here. "Wu Cheng reminded.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Song Gu waved his hand with a smile.
At this time, the second year of high school students stood at the entrance of the courtyard and said, "I have brought them to the hall, and they are all kneeling with their heads down."
Wu Chen said, "Let's go then. These won’t take long.”
Several people walked quickly to the county government hall, and several guards were lined up on both sides holding torches, illuminating the hall very brightly.
Wu Chen walked up to a few people with his hands behind his back. They looked up and then lowered their heads again.
"Yu Hong!" Wu Chen suddenly shouted.
The shout was so sudden that a thin middle-aged man among the kneeling people subconsciously raised his head in fear, and then quickly lowered it.
Wu Chen looked at Gao Er and said, "Tie him up and throw him to the wing, and let the guards guard him closely."
The sophomore stepped forward immediately.
Yu Shian hurriedly asked Song Gu in a low voice: "Who is Yu Hong? Who is Yu Hong?"
Song Gu frowned and thought for a while before remembering, and hurriedly whispered: "Wu Hong During the official interrogation of Su Chang, he found out that someone gave him a living person in the cave during the full moon of each month. Yu Hong was the one who sent a living person to Su Chang. "
Yu Shi'an couldn't control it. Keep drawing your sword , about to kill Yu Hong, Song Gu quickly stopped him and advised: "It will be easier to kill him with one knife. Listen to Wu Chen first. It may still be useful. If it is no longer useful, it will not be too late to kill him later."
Yu Shi'an gritted his teeth and took back the sword, saying: "How many lives were sent to Su Chang and tortured to death through his hands? I can't kill him with my own hands. I don't understand the hatred in my heart!"
"I don't know whether it's a good life or a bad life. There are many who didn't make it to the cave and died in the Taoist temple. That's why there are three corpses near the Taoist temple. I don't know how many are buried in the distance. There are also caves Those we saw among them were those who lived to their last breath, and how many were frightened to death on the way. If my inference is correct, there are probably corpses everywhere near the cave!" Wu Chen stared at the remaining few with a cold face! people say. (End of this chapter)
