"What's wrong? What's wrong? What's wrong?" Ming Haoxing saw Yun Wusheng standing there, motionless, so he came over.
When he saw the bloodstained room, Ming Haoxing was stunned, and the two of them stood in the room blankly.
After a few breaths, Ming Haoxing slowly looked at Yun Wusheng and asked with a trembling voice.
"What should we do?"
"Ah..." Yun Wucheng sighed and took a few steps back. His body was a little unsteady. He touched the stool and quickly sat on it.
"No, captain, what are we going to do? Doesn't Master Xia Ce prevent us from causing trouble? What should we do?"
Yun Wusheng thought for a while, stood up and opened the window.
"Go out first and then talk."
After the two left, Yun Wusheng dragged Ming Haoxing to a corner.
"When something happens, calm down first." Yun Wusheng stared at Ming Haoxing and said.
"We must trust Mr. Xia Ce and follow the procedures. If something unexpected happens during the mission, we must report it to Mr. Xia Ce first."
Ming Haoxing was a little hesitant.
"But this happened on the day we were investigating. Did Mr. Xia Ce really not doubt us? Can we get away with it?"
Yun Wusheng slapped Ming Haoxing hard.
"I said, you have to believe Mr. Xia Ce. What are you afraid of? Mr. Xia Ce is not an ordinary person. She..."
"What are you afraid of? You have no father or mother to support. You only have a younger brother. Didn't you give all the money Xia Ce paid to him?"
"Besides, wouldn't Tongye Secretary not support him?"
"You also said that you are just worried that Sir Xia Ce will doubt us, but if we hide this matter or run away."
"Then we are not suspected, then we are directly identified as the murderer!"
After saying that, Yun Wusheng let go of his hand, and Ming Haoxing collapsed on the ground, sweat dripping from his head.
"I, I, I listen to the captain..."
"Okay, you go guard Song Li's house, protect the scene, and pay attention to people who want to go in. I will go back to Zhengshi Palace and report to Mr. Xia Ce. Don't do other unnecessary things. Do you understand?"
Ming Haoxing's face was ashen, he didn't speak, he just nodded.
…………
"That's it, Lord Xia Ce."
"I have no reservations at all. I have been raised by the old man since I was a child, and you have seen me grow up since I was a child."
"You know what kind of person I am, I will definitely not do that kind of thing..."
Yun Wusheng knelt on the ground, his head kept lowered, not daring to look up, and tried to keep repeating as steadily as possible.
"...It's true that you have a bad temper, but you follow the rules and are obedient. Naturally, I trust you and won't do that kind of thing."
"Well... one of the members was attacked. Fortunately, he was not fatally injured. He was just knocked unconscious and has woken up."
"From what he said, Gao Haitang left the hotel. He followed Gao Haitang to the slums and was attacked."
"As for Song Liuhua, her home is in a slum, right?"
Yun Wusheng lowered his head, but his furrowed brows had loosened a little, and he answered in a low voice.
"yes……"
Xia Ce took out a painting and threw it to the ground.
The portrait slowly floated in front of Yun Wusheng. Yun Wusheng carefully picked up the painting. What was painted on it was a pair of evil ghost breastplates.
The gray breastplate is engraved with sharp fangs, the abdomen is engraved with various runes, and the shoulders are twisted.
"this is?"
"Yanying, the stolen tribute, this is its portrait, remember it."
Xia Ce continued.
"Regardless of whether it was you who did it or not, at least part of your suspicion is right. Gao Haitang is indeed very suspicious."
"But the Department of Communications has stopped investigating this case, so this task is issued by me personally."
"You two, please investigate the truth of this matter. You can attack people, but Gao Haitang cannot be killed. Even if you find out that he is a thief, you cannot attack him."
"His father is the commander of the corps and has a special position. If the investigation reveals that it is him, then it will be handed over to the God of Weapons. We have no right to judge him."
"As for Cangzhou people, you make your own decision."
"Two goals, you and Ming Haoxing only need to meet one of them."
"One, find the stolen Flame Shadow, take it into your hands, don't expose the information, bring it back and give it to me."
"Two, find the real culprit who stole the tributes and arrest him."
"If you fail to meet these two requirements, Ming Haoxing will take the blame and you will be suspended. Do you understand?"
Yun Wusheng kowtowed several times quickly.
"Okay, let's go to Wenqi Library, Ming Haoxing has been arranged there by me."
…………
On the first floor of Wenqi Book Building, a large number of students who were prostitutes were crowded on the first floor. Yun Wusheng was crowded for a long time and could not climb the stairs to the second floor.
"It will be impassable for a while, so come here."
A little old man with pigtails waved his hand and called Yun Wusheng over.
"Who are you?"
"We are here, the deputy landlord of Qishu Building, Liu Wen, and Mr. Xia Ce have arranged a private room. Please follow me and take other passages."
Yun Wusheng followed Liu Wen to the second floor in a secret passage.
Looking at the brand number above, Yun Wusheng walked into a private room. As soon as he entered, Ming Haoxing inside hugged Yun Wusheng.
"What's wrong?"
"Captain, listen to me."
As soon as Yun Wusheng sat down, Ming Haoxing said quickly.
"When I was hiding, someone seemed to have discovered me. I hid it well at that time."
"Suddenly I felt someone was looking at me, and I felt a strong murderous intention. I just wanted to get up to investigate, and then I was taken here."
"Captain, what you said is that you have to believe Sir Xia Ce, so I followed you here."
Yun Wusheng gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, wanting to punch Ming Haoxing.
"I...you...sigh..."
Yun Wusheng wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
"I want you to believe in Sir Xia Ce, but what I want you to believe is Sir Xia Ce's decision-making!"
"Master Xia Ce, you think you have no idea! In such an unexpected situation, you can't ask the contact person for instructions! You ****!"
Ming Haoxing didn't dare to speak.
Yun Wusheng understood that time was precious. Although he was very angry, time was not used for him to curse.
"Get up and go back to the slums!"
…………
"Captain, where should we start our investigation?"
"First investigate who died in the room, and ask around first."
Yun Wusheng knocked on the door.
The woman opened the door impatiently.
"Who is it? It keeps banging and banging, and the door is about to fall. If it's broken, you'll have to pay for it!"
But after seeing the face of the person outside the door clearly, the woman stopped cursing and showed a smiling face.
"Young man, what's wrong?"
Yun Wusheng once again took out two strings of copper coins from his arms and threw them to the old woman.
"Have you ever seen who goes in and who comes out of Song Li's house?"
The old woman recalled, thought for a while and then said.
"As for their family, that guy Song Li drinks and acts crazy all day long. He doesn't have any relatives. Even if he does, they probably won't have any contact with him."
"As for their house, only he and his daughter go in and out every day."
"If he goes out, his daughter goes out to work in the morning, and then he goes out to drink at noon."
"Then, in the afternoon, his daughter helped him home, and when she heard the noise, she started drinking like crazy again. It was really weird."
"After playing for a while, I guess I fell asleep and it became quiet. Then, I saw another man entering their house."
"I've never seen this man before. He's well-dressed. He's definitely not like this. He's probably his daughter's lover. That old man's daughter is very nice, and he's a very rich man."
"If this happens, then she will probably be able to get out of here."
Yun Wusheng frowned. The old woman's words were too dense and she told everything. He just wanted to know who had gone out and who had gone in.
"I just want to know who has been out and who has been in. Don't talk about these useless things."
Hearing Yun Wusheng's somewhat unkind tone, the old woman stopped speaking.
"If he went out, it would be in the afternoon. His daughter went out with that man, and then there was no one else."
"There's no chance of going in. I've said it above. If there's another chance, it's just you two breaking the door and getting in. I don't know if that counts."
Yun Wusheng's eyes widened.
"How did you know we both knocked on the door and entered?"
The old woman pointed to her ear.
"My ears are very good. I heard you talking inside, but I couldn't hear you clearly. What's wrong?"
Yun Wusheng frowned and wanted to silence him.
But I'm not a very evil person, so I really can't do anything to an old lady.
Yun Wusheng took out a handful of silver from his arms and handed it to the old woman.
When the old woman saw the shining white silver, her eyes widened and she quickly took the silver.
Her hands kept stroking the smooth surface of the silver. If Yun Wusheng hadn't been there, she would have wanted to lick it twice with her tongue.
"With this money, you can go out and live in a better place. Just remember."
"Don't tell anyone that we have been here, and don't tell anyone anything about Song Li and his family."
"If I hear, if someone hears you saying these things, Cangzhou is so big, unless you can hide in the mountains, or you will wait for the family to be wiped out, understand?"
Although the old woman had a look of fear on her face, she still hugged the silver in her arms tightly, as if the two silver coins were more important than her life.
The old woman nodded.
"I won't say it, I definitely won't say it. I'll pack my things and leave later!"
After saying that, Yun Wusheng didn't want to listen anymore and helped the old woman close the door.
Then the two found the docking personnel and asked them.
"Have you found out who died in the room?"
The docking officer shook his head and said helplessly.
"Apart from blood, the deceased did not leave any other body tissue, otherwise it would be possible to deduce it through magic."
"But if there is blood alone, there is no way to deduce it. We can only use witchcraft to get a rough idea."
"The master who knows witchcraft just took leave the day before yesterday and went home. He has already sent people to Taizhou. I just don't know how many days there will be results."
