Chapter 226 Fraud [Please vote! 】
Seeing that the flying head was about to run away, Hong Xi chased after him and threw a punch. The dragon and tiger dharma images rose up from behind and smashed into the head with a faint crackling sound.
But even a blow from a strong man in the sixth realm still did not leave the flying head behind.
Seeing the thing escape from the window and disappear into the distant night sky, Hong Xi angrily said, "Humph!"
When he turned around, the guards rushing towards him in the corridor had already The room was surrounded by everyone, including the body of Colonel Chen in the middle. The scene when the door opened earlier was visible to everyone in the corridor. Someone immediately yelled and rushed out to chase the flying head, but the thing came and went without a trace. Not even a strong man like Hong Xi could catch up, let alone this group of guards who were not as good as him in cultivation?
Liang Yue watched the group of people running out of the window, and seemed to suddenly think of something. He suddenly moved, came to the window, and jumped down.
You can see that there is also a gravel ground below, with messy footprints on it, many of which were stepped on by the guards just now. Liang Yue lowered his head and took a closer look, his eyes thoughtful.
When he looked up again, several guards chased him down, holding blades and threatening: "Don't leave!"
"I won't leave." Liang Yue chuckled and followed. They went back upstairs.
Hong Xi, Zhang Danian, Liang Yue, who were present just now, and Cao Yi, who had just left, were all taken back. It seemed that they were suspected to be related to Colonel Chen's death.
The one giving the orders was Colonel Chen's deputy, the second-in-command of the Royal Guards in the quarry, a slightly fat middle-aged guard. He looked a little nervous, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead. He looked at the people in front of him and said, "Put them all in jail and wait until the superior officer comes tomorrow to try again."
It seems that he I don't plan to investigate the case myself, so I have to take responsibility for it.
But Liang Yue said: "Sir, the most precious thing about solving a murder case is the period just before it happened. There are the most clues in the scene. Are you just going to wait in vain?"
"Shut up. !” The guard shouted angrily, “Where is the place for you prisoners to talk?”
“It’s you who should shut up!” Cao Yi suddenly shouted and showed his identity card. "Commander Black Sword of the Yinma Prison is here. Since the school captain died here, I will take over the case for the time being. Before the arrival of the imperial guard Shangguan tomorrow, I will be in charge of the investigation. Do you have any opinions?"
"Drinking Horse Prison?" When several imperial guards around him heard this name, they suddenly trembled in shock.
You know, Yinmajian represents the emperor’s eyes and ears!
What they saw was what the emperor would see. The imperial guard hid his filth here and abused his power to make money. Unexpectedly, he was sneaked in by a man who drank from the horse prison.
If Colonel Chen were here, maybe it could still work, but if nothing else happened, someone would take the blame.
But now Colonel Chen has become a dead ghost at the right time. If he is pursued again, you must know that they have not lost a penny in this.
Cao Yi looked around and threatened: "If you cooperate with the order, everything here can be blamed on Colonel Chen, and the accomplices will not be pursued. If you obstruct the investigation, you will definitely be punished for multiple crimes."
"This humble position is willing to cooperate!" Led by the guard officer, all the imperial guards immediately obeyed.
Cao Yi’s Black Sword Commander, the Yinma Supervisor, was not higher in rank than the guard officer, but he succeeded in gaining power by relying on his kindness and power.
"Sir, what should we do now?" After the guard changed his face, he came over and smiled flatteringly.
"Let me think about it." Cao Yi motioned him to wait, then looked at Liang Yue and asked very naturally: "What do you think?"
The imperial guards around him were speechless for a while.
Is that what you call consideration?
Using other people’s brains to think about your own problems? If you tell the teacher this in the examination room, you will be arrested immediately.
Liang Yue also expected that he was going to ask himself, so he raised his hand and said, "My lord, let's take a step to speak."
"No!" The guard frowned and said, "If the adults ask you questions, answer them honestly. It will give you face. I will borrow this or that."
"Get lost." Cao Yi glared at him displeased.
"Okay." The guard immediately turned around and walked away.
......
Cao Yi took Liang Yue to a side compartment and said, "Do you have any clues about this case?"
"A little bit." Liang Yue smiled and said: "But if you want me to help you solve the case, you have to tell me the truth."
"What do you want to know?" Cao Yi asked. Liang Yue asked directly: "Who are you here to see?"
Cao Yi looked at him deeply and said immediately: "Looking for someone who was my adoptive father many years ago. My adopted son should be in this quarry, but there was suddenly no news. My adopted father was worried that something might happen to him, so he sent me to look for him. The only person who knew his whereabouts was Colonel Chen. "
"Then you just met Captain Chen?" The light in Liang Yue's eyes flickered.
If that is the case, it is Cao Tong who Cao Yi came to see, but the connection between them should not be close.
It is very likely that the head of the Yinma Supervisor was worried that King Dinggou would attack Cao Tong, so he sent Cao Yi to look for him and confirm his safety.
"I saw it, but he was not very cooperative." Cao Yi frowned and said, "No matter what I said to him, he would just pretend to be stupid and shirk it, asking me to come back tomorrow."
" So..." Liang Yue guessed, "You have never seen Captain Chen before, right?"
"Of course." Cao Yi nodded.
"Since you are so honest with me, I won't hide it from you." Liang Yue said: "You'd better send someone to seal off the entire quarry and not allow anyone to enter or exit. Then let someone confirm it carefully. , is the deceased Colonel Chen? ”
After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave.
Cao Yi asked again: "Then what is the purpose of your coming here?"
"Didn't I say it?" Liang Yue smiled, "It's almost the same as you."
Cao Yi seemed to have guessed something, paused, and then said: "Then let's compete to see who can find the person he is looking for first."
In the evening, Liang Yue and Zhang Danian safely returned to the barracks where a group of people stayed.
On the way, he asked again, "Do you know what Boss Ma and Boss Xue are like?"
"I really don't know much about this, I just know that they are both Colonel Chen's confidants. Before Boss Hong came, the two of them had the largest territory here, so they were also the main force fighting against Boss Hong," Zhang Danian sighed, "If you ask me, it's better to let the two of them continue to take charge, at least the amount they pay is not that high. A lot. Since Boss Hong took charge of our area, we have paid twice as much as before. It’s really tiring.”
……
The next morning.
The storm last night had spread quickly. The news that Captain Chen had been killed spread throughout the quarry, and people were suddenly panicked.
Lieutenant Chen has been in charge of the quarry for many years. Although he is only a lieutenant, he has the power of a local emperor here and would not give it to a general. Even if he had the opportunity to be promoted, he would refuse to leave.
The prisoners here are also accustomed to treating Colonel Chen as the mountain king here.
I didn’t expect him to die so suddenly.
Although Yuduwei had sent a large number of troops to blockade the quarry overnight and no one was allowed to enter or exit, the Punishment Department still sent in several new prisoners.
Among them was a young man with an elegant appearance. With his eyes closed, he was led to Liang Yue's team.
"Brother Zhang, let me introduce to you, my good brother... Luda." Liang Yue pointed at him and said.
This young man is a descendant of the Xuanmen Baishi lineage. Don’t ask for help.
Zhang Danian came up and asked enthusiastically: "Why did Brother Lu come in?"
"I read people's palms on the street." Mo Qiuren replied.
“Huh?” Zhang Danian was surprised, “Is it illegal to read palms now?”
"No." Mo Qiuren shook his head and said: "The crime I was accused of was fraud, because I can't actually see..."
