Logically speaking, the City God's Temple has the incense body of the City God sitting there. Whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made fire, the City God can easily put out the fire. Why do we need the county government's policemen to help put out the fire?
Unless the City God is not in the City God's Temple at that time.
However, the City God is not allowed to leave the guarding city unless ordered by the Yin Division.
Changfeng County is a place the size of a sesame seed and a mung bean. Even if he is not really in the City God's Temple, he can rush back to put out the fire as soon as possible if there is a fire in the City God's Temple.
But he didn't do that.
Combined with the fake city god's dove occupying the magpie's nest, Jiang Chen can almost determine that during the time when the city god's temple burned down eleven years ago, the real city god, Li Xuan and Li Wenzhonggong in Changfeng County disappeared.
Or maybe he was killed!
However, if a local city god is completely killed by someone, the underworld will definitely be aware of it and even send someone to check.
If this is the case, then it is absolutely impossible for the fake City God to occupy the Temple of the City God for more than ten years.
So the most likely thing now is that Cheng Huang was trapped somewhere, but he was not completely dead.
This is undoubtedly good news for Jiang Chen.
"Brother Wang, please think carefully. Eleven years ago, before the fire in the City God's Temple, what major event happened in Changfeng County that impressed you?!"
Jiang Chen asked again, feeling that the truth was getting closer.
"Then I'll think about it carefully."
Wang Meng began to mutter in his heart again.
At that time, he had just left the army and came down to make a living. Later, with his good skills, he joined the police station and became a trainee police officer. He was busy all day long and experienced too many things.
But now that I think about it carefully, they are all trivial things that hardly make a deep impression on people.
"Daozhang Jiang, I'm sorry, I really can't remember anything impressive that happened eleven years ago."
"But there are still a few old detectives in the police room who have been in Changfeng County for more than half their lives. If I go to ask them for advice, I might gain something unexpected."
Wang Meng said embarrassedly.
During this period, under Jiang Chen's guidance, his "Red Jade Art" completely broke through to the fourth level, becoming a veritable second-rate warrior.
All of this was thanks to Jiang Chen, but now he couldn't handle even the little things Jiang Chen asked him to do, and he felt a sense of guilt.
"It doesn't matter, this is just an idea to find the person behind the fake city god. Maybe the city god's replacement is a quiet thing, and there is no earth-shattering news at all. It is difficult for people to have a deep impression.
.”
Jiang Chen spoke to comfort him.
"Eleven years ago?"
"Eleven years ago, the county magistrate Chen Jia of Changfeng County took office. The county magistrate Liu Sirui forced us ordinary people to go out of the city to welcome him. He asked us to line up the road to welcome the county magistrate when he took office. He is really not a thing!"
"This incident is really fresh in my memory. Who did we offend? Because of this incident, we almost delayed our escort agency!"
At this moment, Niu Debiao's voice came out from Jiang Chen's sleeves, saying angrily.
It's just that Wang Meng didn't hold the Nether Talisman, so he couldn't hear Niu Debiao's complaints.
Jiang Chen smiled after hearing this, this old cow is quite an angry young man!
However, Chen Jia is a respected person in the county and a scholar. The disappearance of the city god should have nothing to do with him!
But there are no absolutes in things. It would be great to be able to observe in secret!
It's just that this matter is not suitable for Wang Meng, because after all, he is begging for food in the Yamen. If the matter is exposed, and there are no problems with Changfeng County Lord, then Wang Meng's life will not be easy in the future!
So Jiang Chen decided to handle this matter himself!
"Boss!"
"What a joy!"
County government agent Zhao Xiaochuan stormed into Chunyang Taoist Temple and said to Wang Meng.
"How can you be so flustered? This is a Taoist temple, and Taoist Master Jiang is still here. Why don't you quickly apologize to the Taoist Master?!"
Wang Meng frowned and scolded loudly.
This was a distant relative of his who was rather naughty and had some martial arts inherited from his family, so Wang Meng took him with him and trained him as a confidant.
As soon as he heard what Wang Meng said, Zhao Xiaochuan immediately said to Jiang Chen:
"Dao Zhang Jiang, please forgive me for being rude."
"No problem!"
"Hurry up and tell me what the happy event is?"
Jiang Chen just stopped and said.
Zhao Xiaochuan knew that Wang Meng respected Taoist Jiang very much, so he went to Chunyang Taoist Temple whenever he had time, and made the young Taoist his confidant.
So he had no intention of hiding anything from Jiang Chen and said immediately:
"The promotion order for our leader has been issued. From now on, he will be promoted to the chief arrester of Changfeng County!"
"The county magistrate personally summoned him, so I came to look for him in a hurry!"
"oh?"
"You've been promoted, congratulations to Brother Wang!"
Jiang Chen felt a little strange when he heard this, but said calmly.
"Since the county magistrate has personally summoned me, I will take my leave first. When I come back from the county magistrate, I will ask the police officer about it. When I have news, I will inform the commander as soon as possible!"
Wang Meng clasped his fists and said.
"There is no need to worry about this matter. Brother Wang should go and see the county magistrate first!"
Jiang Chen said.
"Then I'll take my leave first!"
Wang Meng responded, and then left Chunyang Taoist Temple with Zhao Xiaochuan!
…………
Chen Mansion.
The residence of Chen Jia, the county magistrate of Changfeng County.
After Wang Meng and the concierge expressed their intention to come, the housekeeper of the Chen family introduced him into the mansion.
"The master is in the study, Mr. Wang can come in on his own initiative!"
The housekeeper of the Chen Mansion stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation.
"good!"
"It's time to take care of the house!"
Wang Meng nodded, then knocked on the study door!
"Wang Meng is here, come in!"
An old and powerful voice came from inside the door.
Wang Meng pushed open the door and strode in.
Chen Jia's study room is not big, but it has a large collection of books. Several rows of tall bookshelves are neatly arranged, but they also block the sunlight outside the window.
Even during the day, the entire study seemed groggy.
Chen Jia, the magistrate of Changfeng County, was wearing black casual clothes. He sat quietly in front of the document and looked at Wang Meng calmly, while Wang Meng was also looking at him.
Although he had met the county magistrate many times when he was still a head catcher, the status of the two was very different at that time, and Wang Meng could only watch from a distance.
This was the first time he had such close contact with a county official.
County Honorable Chen Jia looks to be in his fifties, with black hair mixed with some gray, and mediocre facial features, but his eyes are very sharp, and he has the aura of a superior person, which is intimidating.
"Wang Meng pays homage to the county magistrate!"
Wang Meng clasped his fists and bowed, bowing heavily!
"No need to be polite!"
"I heard from County Lieutenant Gao Qian that you have become a second-rate master, and you have repeatedly solved major cases in recent times. You also captured the fugitive suspect Ripper Liu Jie of Nan County, who is also a second-rate master, alive!"
"Okay, okay!"
"What a terrible future life!"
"Wang Meng, starting from today, I will promote you to the position of chief catcher of the Changfeng County Police Department. I hope you will guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and make outstanding achievements again!"
County Honorable Chen Jia looked at Wang Meng and said with a smile on his face.
"Thank you so much for your support, Lord County. I am willing to go through fire and water, no matter what!"
Although he had already heard the order about his promotion from Zhao Xiaochuan, at this moment, the county official personally promised it, and he knew that it was done. Even he, who was usually very steady, was a little happy and excited.
"But I heard that you hang out a lot with Jiang Chen, the Taoist priest of Chunyang Taoist Temple. Is there anything you want to say to me?"
County Honorable Chen Jia changed the topic, his eyes were like two black whirlpools, looking straight at Wang Meng!
When Wang Meng saw Chen Jia's deep eyes, his eyes instantly became distracted, as if he had lost his three souls and seven souls and turned into a walking zombie!
